Spotlight: Fish-powered Canadian cannabis by Tanner Stewart

man

 

“We endeavour to farm as waste-free as possible. We don’t use sprays, no herbicides, no pesticides, no nothing. And it’s as organic as you can possibly get.”

About eight years ago, with his first child on the way, Tanner Stewart got into agricultural farming.

A serial entrepreneur, Stewart started his career in construction, but with the future heavy on his mind, he began looking into sustainable business ventures that were good for people and the planet.

In 2013, he began working with NutraPonics, an Alberta-based company dedicated to the development and commercialization of indoor vertical aquaponics farming technology. Aquaponics, where raising fish is combined with growing plants, is touted as an energy-efficient way to farm.

Good profits, the cannabis trade gave Canada over $ 35,000 million

cannabis

After legalizing marijuana recreational use three and a half years ago, Canada became the first G7 and G20 country to take that step. Therefore, much of the understanding of the impact of currency devaluation on the economy of a country that chooses this path comes from the results shown by the Canadian experience.

Why Aurora Cannabis stock couldn't catch fire today

man smoking joint

 

Investors weren't cheered by yet another round of capital-raising by the Canadian pot company.

 

 

What happened

In the habitually money-losing marijuana industry, new stock issues are a way of life for companies constantly hungry for fresh capital. While investors are accustomed to this, they don't particularly like it. Case in point: On Tuesday, Aurora Cannabis (ACB -3.40%) declined 5%-plus after it announced the closing of its latest issue.

So what 

Aurora said that morning that it has raised gross proceeds of roughly $172.5 million from the issue, which technically isn't a stock flotation.

Spotlight: Susan Dupej on the state of cannabis tourism in Canada

woman

"[Regulators] missed the mark on consumption and that's really showing up as an issue for tourism because tourism overlaps so intimately with spaces of social public consumption"

Susan Dupej was at a crossroads as she neared the completion of her Ph.D. in Geography from York University in 2016.

She knew she wanted to work in academia but she was unsure about the focus of her research. With the groundwork of legalization taking shape, Dupej began to think about what legal pot might mean for Canada’s tourism industry. As part of her Ph.D. research, she studied the relationship between cannabis, culture and tourism.

But before becoming a full-time cannabis researcher, she wanted to open up about her connection to the plant.

New Report warns excise taxes are destroying Craft Cannabis Cultivators

calculator

A new report calls Canada’s excise tax regime “the greatest systemic threat” to cannabis producers, and builds on three years of market data to illustrate that under the current structure, craft cultivators that have put it all on the line to go legal may not be able to survive.

In Canada, excise duties or “sin taxes” on cannabis are paid by producers, who remit either $1 per gram or 10 percent of their sale price on dried cannabis; whichever is higher. (In most legal U.S. jurisdictions, cannabis taxation tends to happen at the point of sale.)
