Unofficial Start to Summer Edition

n recent weeks, in case you missed it, we have been joined by Canadian cannabis retailers opening up stores in Ontario by the handful, including Friendly StrangerHOBOCanna Cabana and Fire & Flower. (And not to be left out, Nunavut is looking for a brick-and-mortar store too!)

And with all the new retail – and the commensurate uptick in sales – Business of Cannabis has a new partner. BDSA – formerly BDS Analytics – joined Business of Cannabis as our Official Insights Partner. Look for the first BDSA x BofC first update on Wednesday.

Before that, be sure to join us for a first ever virtual Cannabis Forward networking event tomorrow night. A great program featuring leading Canadian cannabis retailers – Village Bloomery, Fire & Flower, Cannabis NB and Superette. Sign up and join us.

And even as there are bright spots in the Canadian landscape, it seems US-based cannabis firms are still doing better. (Which was reinforced by Alan Brochstein of 420 Investor and New Cannabis Ventures during last week’s Lunch+Learn…)

Read on…

As noted on Friday with Alan Brochstein, US public companies are outperforming Canadian firms. Bloomberg

And this will help even more, according the US shadow-President Andrew Cuomo, cannabis will be legalized in NY in 2020. NY Times

(Also from the NY Times, “A hidden origin story of the CBD craze”. NY Times

Even with the positive US cannabis news, High Times is still under fire. This time for their deal to acquire retailers in California. SF Chronicle

AND, Green Growth Brands has filed for bankruptcy… New Cannabis Ventures

But that hasn’t stopped big Canadian LPs from making US plays – few bigger than Aurora’s acquisition of Reliva. New Cannabis Ventures

Adding a bit of mystery to the international cannabis scene, Uruguay exported high-THC flower last week to destination unknown. MJ Biz Daily

Because we know you have been waiting for this – former CannTrust CEO has published some thoughts on LinkedIn. Don’t click too quickly, nothing cannabis related.
