We may have coined referring to this industry as a vibrant ecosystem undergoing constant transformation (Ecoforming) but little did we know how widely accepted these concepts would become and just how true they were as demonstrated by the news that Aphria will supply Shoppers Drug Mart once the latter has its Health Canada license.

As predicted, there has been a flurry of new companies and M&A activity as the industry grows and matures. As part of the natural growth we are also seeing the sun set on paid stock promoters.

From all of us to all of you, thank you. Without you we would not be a leading source for investment information and B2B.

Wishing all of you Seasons Greetings and see you on the other side!

UPDATE

The Green Organic Dutchman Files Amended and Restated Preliminary Prospectus for Initial Public Offering of Units

What I will say is that you cannot afford to miss out on the case study this month written by none other than William Eady on Organigram.

Cannot repeat it enough … there is nothing better than visiting the companies if possible and to attend expos and conferences. There are five such “must” expos between May 25th and October in the Greater Toronto Area-Niagara Region and links to all of them can be found on our “Upcoming Events” page. Please refer to the one page ADs appearing in this month’s issue for LIFT, O’Cannabiz, and MJBIZ. I hope to personally meet as many of you as possible at these events and I will be wearing a CI Mag shirt so please do not be a stranger.

For those who have been subscribers for some time, the recent M&A activity including between Aurora and MedReleaf comes as a validation of expected events. I still find bewildering to read or hear others who are surprised by these events. I am even more bewildered to hear analysts criticize their own followers for being unable to understand what the financial writings of the analyst – if I may offer some free advice, the problem in that communication flow is probably not with the followers.

At CannaInvestor, we have the industry’s leading Accountants, Financial Advisors, Lawyers, and Analysts as our core content providers; all professionals and all expert in effective communications. I always say to keep it simple and receiving your accurate, impartial, and timely information that is also clearly communicated is just one of the reasons why we are your preferred source for information and why our subscribership continues to rise. And with reports like this one out … the best may be still to come - “Canada’s Cannabis Boom Could Be Taking Off Soon”.

Until next month, invest long and prosper as we continue to connect the dots for you … do you think it’s a co-incidence so many that made Cott Corporation a great Canadian success story are with The Tinley Beverage Company?
