Our monthly review of select companies from past articles:

Each of those companies has had excellent news recently but three are specifically worth mentioning. Aphria, Inc. has been conditionally approved for up-listing to the TSX. TBP’s share price reached a high of $1.48 on February 15th (ie: a $15K investment less than one year ago reached a $1.48M valuation!). The Tinley Beverage Company’s website for its THC drinks (www.tinelycollective.com) has a “Now Accepting Patients” section dedicated for residents in California and “certain out of state” residents to register as well as announcing additional stores where Hemplify will be sold.

CASE STUDY 1 – DIVERISIYING FOR THE FUTURE

The focus on the January article was on Diversification including companies that do not touch the plant and/or have revenue streams outside of the cannabis sector. This month’s case study features two such companies that have recently signed a letter of intent to finalize a 50/50 Joint Venture: Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE:LXX; OTC:LXRP) and Neutriscri International, Inc. (TSXV:NU; OTC:NRXCF).
