Tinley Beverage (TNY.C) adds non-cannabis SKUs as part of 150 store deal
A while back – quite a while back, if we’re honest, Tinley Beverage (TNY.C) boss Jeff Maser had a big decision to make that would take his company in a specific direction from that point forward. He could choose to ride or die – which would mean making hemp/cannabis drinks through third party facilities and…

Golden Leaf (GLH.C) hires an HR officer, which makes sense after hiring four CEOs this year
Of all the stupid, tin-eared, extended news releases I’ve seen posted on a Monday morning, I’ve rarely seen one as stupid, tin-eared and extended as that sent out by Golden Leaf Holdings (GLH.C) this morning. The big news out of a company whose share price has collapsed to a low it may soon be mathematically…

New listing: Isracann (IPOT.C): 230k sq ft of weed from Israel? Yes we cann
As a general rule, I’m against any company with ‘cann’ or ‘canna’ in its title. You could make a drinking game out of reading the names of cannabis companies and taking a slug of tequila whenever you hit a canna, and you’d be drunktank-ready inside 25 syllables. But I’m going to give a pass to…

WestLeaf (WL.V) a perfect robber baron target: Cheap, steady, and turning the corner
When a gentleman or mademoiselle makes a decision to honour the dark arts of predatory investing, occasions such as these times, when the black clouds of doom envelope the otherwise pleasant meadow that is the public markets, require one to seek out not the healthiest of companies, for they have already ascended to the heavens.…

GTEC Holdings (GTEC.C) playing it tight as cannabis financing dries up across sector
For the last few years, if cannabis companies wanted money, there was a long line of folks happy to oblige. More recently, those financiers have dried up, causing raise-addicted cannabis pubco execs to reach for their ‘balance sheets for dummies’ text books and have urgent meetings with accountants regarding how they stay alive. GTEC Holdings…

Navigating the cannapocalypse through value picks: Don’t be swayed by optimists or cynics
Yesterday, weed stocks were generally green. The day before too. This brought about a load of folks on social media talking about how ‘cannabis is back!’ and ‘the bear market is over!’ Ugh. Seriously, you guys. It’s not over. Not by a long shot. Currently, Canopy Growth Corp (WEED.T), the big bellwether of the cannabis…

U.S. cannabis companies to open bank accounts – just like 5-year-old children!
In most U.S. states children can open bank accounts with parental consent, though the little tykes must pay federal taxes if they book more than $2,100 in interest income. “In a landmark first step toward normalization of the cannabis industry, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly (321-103) Wednesday to pass the SAFE Banking Act,” reported…

CannTrust (TRST.T) cannabis sales license suspended by Health Canada, and the clock is ticking
Turns out running an illegal drug operation out of your legal, licensed drug operation isn’t such a good business model. Health Canada announced today what many had long assumed was coming, when they suspended CannTrust’s (TRST.T) license to sell and process cannabis in the wake of ongoing allegations of illegal behaviour. When TRST stock was…

CannTrust (TRST.T) sacks workers, calls it ‘commitment to regulatory compliance’
There’s an old damage control routine that goes, instead of admitting you have a problem, you focus on how you’ve fixed the problem you had, so the interested observer focuses on your fix and not your initial incompetence. CannTrust is at that chapter in their Damage Control 101 textbook. In a news release titled, “Canntrust…
