Oh no... now that it is legal, a number of the publicly traded cannabis companies will be able to actually start selling the product they’ve been stockpiling over the last year.

Everything we’ve seen for estimates is that even then, we’re only going to meet 50% of the demand.

Canopy Growth Corp, CBW, Aphira, Abcann... there are actually dozens of them and they’re going to be in for a good year for now and (hopefully) tremendous growth as well.

Some people care very much.

Can you link to anything that says Canada is going to allow uninhibited access to the market from these companies? Currently they are licensed for medicinal use only.

I'm skeptical. The government is not going to mint pot billionaires. It will be tightly controlled.
