Terry Booth , CEO of Aurora Cannabis (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB), speaking in a panel session said regarding the 2018 Farm Bill in US "If this farm bill passes in the US, the US may very well beat us ( Canada ) to the punch with regards to CBD."
Talking about funded capacity versus actual capacity in the cannabis space he said, "Nobody is at full capacity yet. There's a big difference between the funded capacity versus actual plant product available and the global demand for cannabis is very significant."
Booth also said about late stage Canadian companies entering the Canadian market "If you're a Canadian company just starting out in the cannabis space and looking to go public in Canada , I'd say 'Good luck!' However, if you're based in the US and looking to go public on the Canadian exchanges I think its a great opportunity and hats off to you."
Acreage Holdings did just that and listed last week on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE: ACRG.U); with "U" indicating shares trade in U.S. dollars. With one of the largest geographic footprints of any cannabis company, it currently owns and/or operates cultivation, processing and dispensary operations,
The first day of MJBizCon featured a Fireside Chat with Acreage CEO, Kevin Murphy . With former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives John Boehner and former Governor of the State of Massachusetts , Bill Weld on its Board of Advisors and now former Prime Minister of Canada , Brian Mulroney joining the Board as well, this was one of the most talked about companies at the conference.
Other room-filled panels included Globalization of Cannabis: Trends & Opportunities panelists with speakers Alfredo Pascual , International Analyst, Marijuana Business Daily ; Deepak Anand , VP, Business Development & Government Relations , Cannabis Compliance and Mike Gorenstein , CEO of Cronos Group (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON).
