It's too soon for Canadian cannabis producers to put dollar figures on European markets on the cusp of legalizing recreational pot, according to an industry executive with experience on both sides of the Atlantic.

Canopy Growth Stock’s Prospects in 2022

History may not always repeat itself, but it does at the very least rhyme. Once again, marijuana stocks have begun to rally after being incorrectly devalued.

One of those marijuana stocks is Canopy Growth Corp (NYSE:CGC), perhaps the pot stock I’ve written about the most. CGC stock was one of the first marijuana stocks I began covering, and the company was always good for a headline-grabbing acquisition or new product announcement (or at least it used to be).

But Canopy Growth stock has fallen on hard times as of late.

After such a promising start to the year it’s safe to say that 2021 has been a bust for Canadian cannabis. Most names in the space now down by plenty, which seems to speak to the market’s skepticism about both growth prospects in the maturing industry and the current glut of pot product and pot companies trying to elbow their way into market share. 

There are roughly two camps to the Canadian picture, the bigger players with billion-dollar market caps and then there’s the rest, which means medium-sized and smaller operations now trying to pull away market share from the larger operations.

he University of Queensland has struck a deal with Canadian health and wellness company PreveCeutical Medical which could revolutionize the way patients take medical cannabis. Invented at the UQ School of Pharmacy by Dr Harendra Parekh and his team, the Sol-Gel technology is a liquid solution that converts to a gel upon contact with the internal membranes of the human body, such as the nose. UQ's commercialization company, UniQuest, granted PreveCeutical the rights to use the Sol-Gel technology for the specific delivery of cannabinoids to all regions and membranes of the human body.

The deal executed by UniQuest includes a license to the patent application.

Canada's legal weed industry needs innovation, not more regulation, say entrepreneurs

Despite his success, Samuel Gerges has a hard time even opening a business account.

Just weeks after Canada’s third anniversary of legal recreational cannabis, the country — particularly at the local level — is dealing with the realities of a post-legalization world.

A survey conducted, between 2018-2019, by the government determined that over 18% of Canadians regularly consumed cannabis-based products — including legalized CBD substances.

The medium annual spending, per capita, for CBD products in Canada, is over $1500. And, what’s an even more telling statistic, is that most Canadians like to purchase their product online.

That’s why weed delivery in Toronto is such a hot topic right now. In this article, we’re going to talk about online dispensaries and Toronto weed delivery trends.
