RE:News Release WeedMD, Hiku walk back "industry leader" claimPROtrading wrote: Oh, oh, WeedMD and Hiku were caught by regulators and had to retract the false claims?
That doesn't start the marriage on the right foot!
And based on simple math HIKU is only worth $1.26 why would anyone hold it at $1.44? Dummies?
Stating being an "industry leader" could mean various things..so many different avenues for an LP to explore and set claim to being the "leader" ---canopy is no doubt the biggest MJ company in the world but do they "lead " in every single category -of coarse not they wish lol...
HIKU can definitely set claim to being at the forefront of branding(jackman) and also the "Amsterdam" coffee shop/dispensary style brick n mortar shops---second cup recently hopped in the mix but they are years behind TS/DOJA HIKU BRANDS..
