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.

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.

Why legal cannabis in BC is completely fucked, and literally the worst system in Canada
I had an idea a few weeks ago, one that I hadn’t bothered with sooner because, truth be told, I’m not a weed guy. I like the investment opportunity, and I’ve lately taken to the wonderful effects of CBD, but I’m not much of a straight up weed dog. But hey, I thought, I keep…

Earlier this month, a news blurb all of 184 words published by thecannabisstock.com ran with the headline, “HEXO is officially not responsible for the death of thousands of fish in Gatineau,” raising more questions than answers.

Fear and loathing in the cannabis space: Get off 48North’s (NRTH.V) dick already
The most important phase of the life cycle of any ecosystem is where the inhabitants realize they can get sustenance and advantage from killing the lifeforms around them, rather than cohabiting. Monkeys turn cannibal when food supplies are low, ants go to war with other ants, ivy strangles the trees hosting it, influenza kills the…

Vapen (VPN.C) drops financials showing another quarter of actual profits
I’ll say it. Vapes aren’t as fashionable on the cannabis investor markets as they once were. Right now you guys really like, well, nothing, but a few years back, if you went to Alibaba Express and got a shipping container of pink vapes sent over by the guy who usually does fidget spinners, the markets…
