But expansion into the U.S. and Holland will follow shortly.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the partnership, Chris Driessen, president and owner of Organa Brands, had this to say: \u201cThe sky&#8217;s the limit when you have three of the most influential cannabis brands in the world unifying to start the process of global expansion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t agree more.<\/p>\n<p>Ramifications Be Damned<\/p>\n<p>In case you missed the recent report from Ray Blanco last month, let me quickly recap.<\/p>\n<p>The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and TSX Venture Exchange plan to contact all pot companies listed with them to determine whether they run afoul of U.S. federal law.<\/p>\n<p>That means Canadian companies with any exposure to U.S. pot markets could potentially be in violation of their TSX listing obligations. Even if they&#8217;re compliant with state laws.<\/p>\n<p>But what do the Canadian pot companies think of all this?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, they couldn&#8217;t care less.<\/p>\n<p>Before news broke regarding the new joint venture, many major Canadian pot firms had already put out press releases patting regulators on the back for the decision.<\/p>\n<p>Now we have a trilateral agreement for cooperation between U.S., Dutch and Canadian pot companies.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the threat of delisting or even potential legal battles doesn&#8217;t scare these companies or their shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Head Due North for Riches<\/p>\n<p>Canadian marijuana companies are having a HUGE November.<\/p>\n<p>Since Oct. 30, the Canadian pot index made up of 18 of Canada&#8217;s largest pot companies is up almost 60% for the month. Check out the chart for November:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Most of the late-year gains stem directly from anticipation of July 2018. That&#8217;s when the Canadian government expects its plan to legalize recreational pot will go into effect.<\/p>\n<p>Where there&#8217;s a will, there&#8217;s a way. Where there&#8217;s a demand, there will be weed.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, companies with stakes in developing recreational cannabis are seeing their share values soar.<\/p>\n<p>Impressive estimates on the cash value of Canadian recreational pot markets are also fueling this late-year run.<\/p>\n<p>Reports estimate that Canada could quickly become a multibillion-dollar pot industry within a few years. According to Deloitte, pot legalization could generate up to $22.6 billion annually for the industry.<\/p>\n<p>This would total more than the annual amount spent on alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Canadians might like their beer, but they <a class=\"colorbox\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/epic-news-neighbors-north\/\"> \u2026read more<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a class=\"colorbox\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/epic-news-neighbors-north\/\" title=\"Epic News From Our Neighbor to the North\">Daily Reckoning feed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a class=\"colorbox\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/juniormininganalyst.com\/epic-news-from-our-neighbor-to-the-north\/\"><\/a><a class=\"colorbox\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/epic-news-neighbors-north\/\">Epic News From Our Neighbor to the North<\/a> appeared first on <a class=\"colorbox\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/juniormininganalyst.com\/\">Junior Mining Analyst<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Sean McCloskey This post Epic News From Our Neighbor to the North appeared first on Daily Reckoning.
