There is a monster in the closetfor those that don't know! Constellation Brands has the reigns and have positioned their people in key positions for their fortay into marijuana and hemp. They coughed up $5 billion C to be seriously positioned shareholders of Canopy Growth with total ability to be controlling shareholders. We are talking movers and shakers in business with Constellation being a 43x uniciorn that pays dividends and is making $10 a share. Canopy comes in a little less at 15x unicorn and the 3rd part of the trifecta deal is Acreage Holdings which is Canopy's choice for US expansion at 1x unicorn. Unicorns are billion dollar companies for those that are unaware of the terminology and when Canopy makes their US expansion, they are well positioned with Acreage which is reputedly one of the largest MSOs and perfectly positioned for rapid expansion of Canopy's branded products to the US when Canopy is comfortable with legality at the US Federal level.
The issues raised in rebuttal are whether such triggering event will happen and whether Canadian LPs will be cash flow positive. Canopy is the undisputed world leader for marijuana and hemp and well positioned with management and financing. They are also active lobbyists working with government for what potpreneurs need by way of legislation for all things pot.
The majority of the US voters want marijuana to be legalized for adults for rec use and medical with medical States at 30 and increasing and legal rec use for adult States showing lots of positive movement, I am investing on this happening in one form or another. I am not a lawyer so not sure of what would be considered a triggering event. Descheduling marijuana from the Feds, SAFE banking or the MORE Act are rumoured to be enough and I really hope that the best parts of all three happen and the legislators come up with clear Federal laws to enable this to happen across all the States so interstate commerce has free flow.
Acreage Holdings is the chosen segway for Canopy and the monster is what Acreage will morph into when Canopy can legally announce the takeover. Based on populations alone the US is 10x Canada's but Canopy is not just Canada. We are already in a dozen countries so 10x Canada might be a stretch, depends on momentum.
Reality is that Constellation who are hard core entrepreneurs are solidifying their investments with the same zeal that they built Constellation with and will continue to support their fledgelings with financial backing for the future as they see it. The Democrats have tried to slip some form of legalization into some of their proposals prior to having control and I hope they revisit it soon and come up with some serious political work to legislate State wide legalization, banking and de-criminalization, all at once. glta and dyodd
