There is so much excitement about the fact that California, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts all legalized recreational marijuana... The Canadian public markets offer access to a lot of capital, with a lot of certainty and a lot of speed, and there is this appetite among global investors to invest in a U.S. play. Specifically, global investors want to invest in a U.S. play that has California exposure. Now is the time where it makes the most sense."
