David Wylie of the oz joins me each week to discuss the latest on This Week in Cannabis News. Things happen fast in the still developing cannabis industry and we’ll bring you the top stories. There is tremendous anticipation of the federal legalization of cannabis in the United States, and not just by Americans. Some Canadian companies have heavily invested in the scene by buying up or partnering with their neighbours to the south. Canadian cannabis fans will also benefit as apps and social media platforms will likely change their anti cannabis ways. But it's not all good as one BMO analyst points out.

Speaking of American companies owned by a Canadian one, SweetWater Brewing Company, recently purchased by Aphria will have some of their cannabis themed brews hitting store shelves and establishments in Colorado very soon, and there are a few reasons why they picked that state.

The New York Times took a long and micro look at legalization in Canada recently, examining whether or not Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government's promises have been kept. It's a very long deep dive story that has some very good points. However it seems a little early to be thinking the system would be perfect in my opinion.

Finally we ended with some in the city of Vernon showing their complete ignorance and perpetuating the stigma when it comes to cannabis. This story had my blood boiling and I tried to explain how ridiculous one woman's logic was.
