This statement above however I believe to be ill informed. I'll quickly explain why. My wife was born with Scoliosis. I'll spare you the long and winding road of pain management she has endured. Suffice it to say that after 15+ years of an ever increasing opioid based treatment with diminishing results her pain specialist suggested that she try medicinal cannabis. 2 consultations later and 6 months into it she is absolutely amazed how well this works. She uses a high CBD level product which does not make her high in any way. She can function normally without any residual side effects plus the benefit of a reduction in GI track issues that opioids complicate. You can call her a convert to this form of treatment.

Great thread. I appreciate all the insight.
Personally I’ve had Aurora and Canopy since February and have obviously been quite pleased. Planning to buy some Aphria shortly. I’ll be very interested to see how things go up to and past July 1! |

I respect others opinions, it's just they don't sit with mine, I've always believed the medicinal benefits were exaggerated to get it through, lets face it, the main market will not be the sick, its going to be the healthy.
Another issue, is the length of time it takes to leave the body and the issues this will cause with people driving after using cannabis, if I drink two pints of Guinness over a period of four hours, I know for a fact that if I drive my car and get stopped, I am well within the legal limit, So someone sits at home legally puffing all evening, gets in their car the next morning, they may feel ok, but how will it be judged by an officer as to their driving legality, drink is easier to monitor. Also, many people ingest cannabis, this can stay in the system for ages. its a can of worms, unnecessary in my view, but there we go, its just one mans view, with no power or influence, and I have said enough. many thanks for the debate. |

After July 1st, there will be a significant bump from the recreational market, and additional production capacity coming on in 2018 and 2019. Canada is the 4th highest per capita percentage cannabis consuming country in the world, so the demand is there. |

I saw an article that discussed a study of the benefits of helping with dementia.

Mcorliss - I liked your Aphria stock highlight.
Read up on it and bought 500 shares 3 days back. Bought another 1,000 - averaging higher. I like the theme. Thanks for highlighting! |

Back on topic. This industry is going to be huge. Canada is going to lead the way on this from a stock perspective. I'm in.

Be careful out there guys. I am a vendor to this industry in Canada and the US and while it is clearly one of the best opportunities facing the “professional grower” industry, there is very much a mania going on with these companies. Remember, Canada is smaller than California so there is a limit on the upside due to Canada being a very small, very dispersed population. The real growth will come when its status on the federal level has been resolved (think banking, tax code fixes, shipping across state lines, removed from schedule 1). I have no doubt that is where things are headed but it will take time in the US.

$100MM (Canadian) Bought Deal (capital raise) today.
Today, Aphria is down this morning because they just announced a $100MM bought deal (capital raise) to be used to ramp up operations prior to the launch of Recreational on July 1st, 2018. Whenever these companies do a large capital raise, the stocks decline the next day, but then rally back the following week. Nothing for concern, in fact, it is a great thing, because they are thought of highly enough by institutional investors, that they want to buy into the company, but not via the open market, so you don’t get upwards buying pressure.
The normal trading down pattern on capital raise days is just the effect of ownership dilution for more shares being added to the number of outstanding. At the end of the day, you want these companies to raise capital as fast as possible so they can expand their capacity to produce and sell more product sooner with the recreational launch. I always use these down days to add to my existing position. My best friend just picked up another 10,000 shares, and I may grab another 20,000 myself. Good luck, Guys! |

This isn't weed from 1970s either. The indica strain is great for me at night and Sativa is better for day or late afternoon. I don't smoke it, it's edible or an oil |

There will always be a black market for everything (watches, weed, clothing, etc.) someplace, but on balance, the legalization will drive more people to legitimate sources than not. The vast majority of people are not going to risk arrest to save a few loonies. You can bet that the government will enforce the new laws more stringently in the beginning to make an example out of the black market sellers and buyers. Not to be too tangential, but the main point is that legal weed will far surpass illegal, unregulated, untested black market weed. To think otherwise is silly. |

its you that doesn't like an opposing view, not me, I am more than happy for you to hold your opinion, you cant let it drop I am afraid, when someone is this offended by another persons very valid view, a view of millions, it tells me that you are not sure yourself. I will never come round to your point of view, I would never confuse the acceptance of druggie propaganda with getting an education, its beneath real knowledge in every way, maybe this will be my last post on the topic , that's it I don't get another slating. Again, thanks for the debate. |

No information will ever change your opinion...your own words. I guess I’m just surprised how somebody who lives so close to the bastion of higher education (Oxford), can be so unwilling to do actual basic research on their own before forming such steadfast opinions. That IS the very definition of being closed minded. It is not meant as an insult, just a descriptor to explain your position. This thread is meant to be a debate about morality, it is about discussing publicly-traded Canadian Cannabis companies. The global shift on Cannabis acceptance is happening every single day, regardless of whether nay-sayers drag their feet, and as an investor, I’m profiting greatly from that shift. I recognize the potential therapeutic benefits of the plant. There are futures uses that aren’t even being researched yet, and I’m banking they will be realized. Thanks for the debate. Godspeed. |

No. Aphria, Canopy, Aurora, and MedReleaf are all individual companies. Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Fund is an ETF. It is also a good way to go, but is littered with some companies that I don’t think are going to benefit proportionately. That’s why I’ve chosen Aphria. Had Canopy previously, but made my money there and moved on.

It’s real simple, I appreciate both viewpoints (pro vs con cannabis), but my own viewpoint has made me over a half million dollars since November 1st. Call me a horrible person, but I’ll stick with my own perspective on the global trend towards cannabis acceptance. I suspect I’m more right than wrong. |

I am a very conservative dividend investor, but I bought some stocks like Apple and Google many years ago. Thanks for your assessment. I checked out Aphria on Seeking Alpha, and bought 500 shares to get my feet wet. My guess is that down the road Phillip Morris or Altria will buy one of the better marijuana companies. I own both of those stocks.
