Q: Which company is currently your favorite publicly traded cannabis company available in the market?

A: Naturally, The Green Organic Dutchman because I have invested in them at every stage of growth, from a 5000 square foot capacity to a company with a strategic partnership with Eaton Energy (which made me a true long), to a company with a million square foot operation that was fully funded to the hottest company around. It was simple for me, and I was sold on their energy cost which is 76% less than what every other LP is paying to a company that was looking beyond just being an organic cultivator even though there’s a 30% higher margin. Honestly, if that was all they had (energy cost & higher margin) that would be enough, but I see this as the true Canopy 2.0; except better funded and more of a vision from day 1.

Q: Which company is currently your favorite privately held cannabis company available in the market?

A: That’s a tough one, On the data side, I like the guys at WeedMaps & Privateer holdings (owners of Leafly & Tilray), on a hardware and execution side Pax makers of cutting-edge vape pens etc is just a dynamo ( I wish they were public). If any of them enter the public market (and I’m sure they will) I will be all over them.

Brief descriptions of these companies as follows:

Weedmaps describes themselves as a community where businesses and consumers can search and discover cannabis products, become educated on all things cannabis, review cannabis businesses and connect with other like-minded users. For more information on them click here:
