Having marijuana-focused companies set to join the list of publicly traded companies is not a novel thing as companies such as Aurora Cannabis (ACB), Tilray (TLRY), Canopy Growth Corp (CGC, WEED), and Cronos Group (CRON) going public with IPOs in 2018.
Tilray was at the same time “the first cannabis-focused company to go public”, which in a way reduces a chance that cannabis companies with IPOs in 2019 can go through a boom within their initial public offers.
The competition in the cannabis industry is becoming thicker, while regulations are sending some cannabis IPOs to Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE).
