CannTrust (TRST.T) executives should go to jail: Emails show deliberate criminality
There’s a difference between incompetence and criminality. Incompetence is “What? That’s weed? I thought those were tomato seeds!” Criminality is “1) RG8 is not licenced but has plants in it; 2) RG9 is not licenced but we are intending to put plants in it on Monday; 3) PA2A-E are not licenced but we have moved…

Flowr (FLWR.V) tries again after canceled high priced financing kills stock, walks into same pole
We’re seeing a lot of cannabis companies inflicting friendly fire on themselves these past few months, as companies dependent on big financings find the market isn’t as enamored with growth at all costs as they are. We’ve seen big write downs based on assets purchased with debentures that later convert to shares at unhelpful prices,…

Berz-Erka: Livewell unhalts after 8 months as Eureka 93 (ERKA.C), rolls back 15:1, loses 90% of its value
We talked to the folks behind Livewell a lot, back in the day. Seemed a good deal, certainly a team that talked a good game. Even bought a little personally. But there was always a coda attached. The projections and plans were big. Maybe too big. Here’s me, the first time I covered them. Little…

Namaste (N.C) drops 2x financials, and they’re trash: Also, duh
Namaste Technologies (N.C) has been working hard to get Q1 financials together for some time, a task made harder by the fact their previous CEO, a sentient man-bun with arms and legs by the name of Sean Dollinger, ran the company in the manner of a Kowloon brothel. Namaste, was at one point announcing new…

SUPREME DAY: Absurdly under-valued Supreme Cannabis (FIRE.T) takes over Equity.Guru
Since I’ve known and been covering former Supreme Cannabis (FIRE.T) CEO and current President John Fowler, I’ve referred to him as the T-1000. The name, initially anyway, was just a throw away line. But it stuck over the years, because I wasn’t the only one who saw him as part man, part machine, all unstoppable.…

CannTrust (TRST.T): If you’re buying the bounce, you’re playing a dangerous game
Cannabis investors are a different breed. They’re amped way higher on positivity, cynicism, self belief, and sorrow, prone to the sort of mania that baseball card, Cabbage Patch Kid, and tulip enthusiasts know in their plums. When cannabis investors love a stock, there’s almost no amount of negative due diligence, blown up market cap, or…

UPDATE: CannTrust (TRST.T) should lose license over illegal pot growing/shipping scandal
The precedent has been set. When Ascent Industries (ASNT.C) lost its Canadian LP licensing over product that had allegedly found its way into the grey market, the regulators at Health Canada – rightly – didn’t hold back. They investigated publicly, loudly, and ultimately de-licensed the company, running the brains trust out of town on a…

Marijuana update: Where the blood runs hard, look for the guys with swords
“There are times […] when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a…

Reading between the lines: Nutritional High’s (EAT.C) misplaced weed, and 1933’s (TGIF.C) respectable loss
Back in mid-2018, when everyone was talking about how MedMen (MMEN.C) was going to be the biggest weed debut ever, one of my guys looked at their listing docs, specifically under the section relating to executive compensation. What they found was egregious; the founders had all the shareholder votes, giant compensation packages, insane retention bonuses,…
