The legal cannabis industry was built on the backs of master grey market growers and as the sector legitimized itself, but it left many of these growers out in the cold because of their colorful past with law enforcement.
Health Canada has finally realized that the illicit market for marijuana won't go away and can't be stopped by kicking down doors, so the regulatory agency has opted to create a whole new micro-licensing program for small mom-and-pop growers who cannot afford the costs of an MMPR application or are unable to pass inspection due to a colorful past with law enforcement.
Pasha Brands (CRFT.C) has positioned itself to capitalize on Health Canada's change of heart by teaming up with the aforementioned craft growers and producing top quality bud without the overhead that LPs like Canopy Growth are forced to contend with.
Pasha intends to provide more variety of strains, higher quality bud and recognizable brands than your average government outlet, all with less risk due to a diverse supply chain. Equity.Guru's own Chris Parry spoke with Patrick Brauckmann, Pasha Brands MD, to get a clearer picture of the company, the craft cannabis market and what investors can expect over the next 12 months.

Hemptown Organics is unique in the legalized cannabis sector as the company remained under the public market radar until its operations were actually operational.
Speaking of which, the company brought in 110,000 pounds of feminized hemp biomass in 2018 and purchased one million rare CBG seeds to plant in 2019.
Hemptown also has the confidence of financial institutions, having just over-subscribed a convertible debenture offering for CAD$24 million and its not hard to understand why.
In the first half of this fiscal cycle, Hemptown is reporting the same caliber of revenues as billion-dollar 'juggernaut' Cronos Group (CRON.T), but Hemptown has a realistic market cap with room to fly.
Equity.Guru's own Chris Parry, spoke with Hemptown co-founder, director and president, Michael Townsend, to lift up the hood on the company, its revenue run and its highly anticipated IPO expected in Q4 2019.

Just before GTEC Holdings (GTEC.V) went public, Equity Guru’s Chris Parry summarised GTEC like this: “GTEC’s growers are genuinely small batch, artisan guys. They haven’t come to market with a ‘We’re going to have the biggest greenhouse in the world’ play.
They’re coming to market with this play:
- We already have a grow license.
- We have four other late-stage applicants we expect to secure grow licenses.
- If any don’t, we’ll roll them into one that does and apply for an expansion rather than a fresh license.
- We’re running this like a winery. Quality is everything.
“That means keeping costs low, margins high, and not fighting with every other LP for that sweet Ontario Liquor Board deal that wants a lot of weed cheap and quick. Rather, they’re offering something people will look for.”
In the last 2 years, GTEC has built an expansive portfolio of cannabis companies, includes 100% ownership of: Alberta Craft Cannabis, Grey Bruce Farms, Tumbleweed Farms, GreenTech Bio-Pharmaceuticals, Zen Lab and Spectre Labs.
In this wide-ranging interview, Norton Singhavon, the CEO of GTEC Holdings speaks with Equity.Guru’s Guy Bennett about GTEC’s “Build it, don’t buy it” expansion strategy.
