    I don’t see the CEO cutting his salary. He just milking everyone to the end. The stock used to be $40 and now is 1.40

    Canopy doesn’t have strong brands. Nobody gets excited about Tweed, retailers aren’t going out of their way to recommend Canopy brands when customers ask what to get, and
    while I don’t know about how strong their Quebec brand is (Vert), my general impression is that the various local growers that exist in each province are largely outcompeting them in their own space. Typically a big company can earn/retain share based on recognition as a reliable brand (e.g., a "safe" purchase that the customer will like) but Canopy has no real reputational advantage to speak of on the consumer side.

    Canopy’s problem is that they put volume over quality and grow mediocre pot.

    Staff at the Tokyo Smoke retail outlets owned by Canopy won’t buy Canopy pot. The market prefers boutique producers of good quality weed.

    In the past, most of the cost of marijuana was police risk. That’s gone. Selling weed is no longer about drugs (the original law was a pointless, nitwit mistake in the first place), it’s about tax and regulation – red tape. The huge margins that drew investors are gone.

    Nobody cares anymore. Price has collapsed. Legal vendors have more expenses.
    The hippies were right all along.

    Biggest problem is the illegal growers paying no taxes

    Nature Boy in the cannabis fallout bunker with the flat line call. High times need low rates to compete with the street hustlers.

    I have the fix, I even tried helping them, they made fun of me, I told them they would be at 1.50 this quarter, I literally got laughed at a treated like shit. I feel so bad for them, told them what would happen and I got treated like I was Jesus and got crucified.
