Description

With the US on the verge of potentially reclassifying cannabis as a less dangerous drug, we're analyzing how two of Canada's largest cannabis companies are positioned to capitalize on this historic shift.


Jon Brown dives into Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED/NASDAQ:CGC), exploring how its unique "Canopy USA" structure gives it a direct line into the American market, making the potential policy change a massive catalyst. Then, Trevor Abes highlights the impressive financial turnaround at Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB), arguing that its recent string of profitable quarters and positive free cash flow make it a compelling value play, especially as its stock price has yet to reflect its success.


This Episode's Picks:


Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX: WEED / NASDAQ: CGC): A major cannabis producer strategically positioned through its Canopy USA holdings to immediately benefit from the potential reclassification of cannabis in the United States.


Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB): The world's largest medical cannabis company, which has successfully executed a financial turnaround to achieve consistent profitability and positive free cash flow, creating a potential value opportunity.


Topics Discussed:



  • The potential US reclassification of cannabis and its market impact.

  • Catalyst-driven investing in the cannabis sector.

  • The strategic importance of the Canopy USA corporate structure.

  • Identifying financial turnarounds and value plays in the cannabis industry.
