Ready or not, legal marijuana is coming to Canada. On June 19, after less than two weeks of Bill C-45, better known as the Cannabis Act, bouncing back and forth between the Senate and House of Commons, the Cannabis Act was approved. Just days later, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau set an official adult-use legalization date of Oct. 17, 2018, making Canada the first industrialized nation in the world to have given the green light to recreational cannabis.
For investors and growers, legal weed means big bucks. Even with incredible growth from medical marijuana sales and via exports, waving the proverbial green flag should open the door to perhaps $5 billion in added annual sales that, over time, could have the legal weed industry rolling in the dough. As a result, marijuana growers have been expanding their capacity as quickly as their balance sheets will allow in an effort to secure as much market share as possible in the early going.
