This week, we take a "full breath" and dive into the Canadian cannabis sector, exploring two tech-focused companies that perfectly embody the industry's highs and lows.
Jon Brown looks at MediPharm Labs (TSX: LABS), a company successfully expanding its pharmaceutical-grade products globally, yet simultaneously embroiled in a public proxy battle with a dissident shareholder, forcing investors to weigh innovation against internal conflict. Then, Trevor Abes highlights Cannabix Technologies (CSE: BLO), a company diligently developing a first-of-its-kind marijuana breathalyzer, securing key partnerships and seeing its stock rise—all before booking its first dollar of revenue.
