Dumb places to put your weed dollars: Maple Leaf Green World (MGW.E)
My former boss used to say, “Horse racing? Why bother? I could just smash my head on a wall, throw red wine on my shirt, burn $500, and save myself a day.” I’ve stolen his line many times, and will do it again today. “Invest in Maple Leaf Green World (MGW.E)? Why bother? I could…

HIKU Brands (HIKU.C) and WeedMD (WMD.V) to merge, creating vertical integration beast

About a year back, I told you guys about a telemedicine company called Reliq Health Technologies (RHT.V). You didn’t pay much attention because it was little and new and ‘telemedicine’ sounds like a Home Shopping Channel show at 2am that sells Acai supplements. But this is what happened soon after.

when you ask Steve Marshall, CEO of CUV Ventures (CUV.V) about Cuba, he says, “It’s a lovely place. Great people. Lots of opportunity.” He doesn’t say (anymore), “We are all in on Cuba.” He used to, but the world has changed a little. Pre-Trump, Cuba opening to the world was the next big thing. But…

CROP Infrastructure (CROP.C) cashing in on Washington State’s $1.4 billion cannabis industry
Back in the day, when the cannabis craze was first dropping on the public markets, Canadians were forbidden from doing deals to buy Washington State cannabis growers. You had to be a local to get a license, and the method used to get one of those was comical. You had to fill out a form…

Well that didn’t take long. Just a day after we wrote an article excoriating Emblem Canabis (EMC.V) for sitting on their hands with news for the last year, new CEO Nick Dean has dropped a big one.
