interesting commentary on Canadas direction in the industryCheck out a editors note on small cap power: Editors Note: At a recent panel discussion, one of the participants suggested that Canada is expected to be the first G7 country to recreational-ize cannabis consumption and will be the gold standard for compliance. Canadian companies will be the first movers and then spreading to other jurisdictions as they come online. As the market continues to expand theres incremental cash flow that goes to each of the producers. Theres a first mover advantage for any producer that already has a license in Canada and its not just domestic but global. Theres a big gap between demand and supply, which is expected to continue for a number of years. Future demand will come from countries such as Germany, with its population of about 81 million, which will likely see insurance re-imbursement for cannabis. Estimates are for about five to 10 years before supply catches up to demand in the legal market. As new jurisdictions come online, they will likely look to Canada for its experience. Right now theres just one international producer outside of Canada that is able to ship internationally to countries such as Germany or Australia, and the rest are all in Canada.
