Q: I want to start a portfolio with my kids who are still in their 20s, while at the same time teaching a little of "how to". Do you have any suggestions? Any particular literature you prefer, or your own approach would be terrific.
I could always buy off of your list but then not much teaching would occur:)

Q: There is a good article (approx. 8 pages long) in the recent National Post regarding the Cannabis Industry both in Canada and the U.S. which has a few states where it is legal for retail sale.

One grower in Denver, Colorado (where there is a lot of regulations which constantly change) has a legal grow facility and 14 stores. The facility spends $150,000 per month on electricity alone.

It is not as easy to grow and harvest to the specs required as many people may assume the article shows to some degree.

Q: With a market cap of almost $700mm and little to no sales revenue, investors are stampeding into Canopy and anything weed related.

When recreational marijuana is legalized should we expect bigger participants to enter the industry? I keep thinking that the current names are run by greedy white-collars who have little expertise but do have access to capital. Will these early RTO's get weeded out when big pharma and the gang step into the sector?

People are talking about weed as if it's the rediscovery of the wheel and fire. This is an easily replicated farm crop that requires very little skill, capital outlay and maintenance.

Care to share your thoughts on the zebra-striped elephant galloping through the green house?

Thank you
