Cannabis will always be popular. But to imagine a multilayered economy where anyone in the weed business is a millionaire just isn’t going to happen. Without easy access to credit, many cannabis companies will end up like the bankrupt companies of the dot-com bubble from the early 2000s.

The cannabis bubble originates from Ottawa and Bay Street, not BC. The stock-trading licensed producers regulated by Ottawa are the ones in trouble. A few will make it out alive, but even that’s up for debate. The future of cannabis in Canada looks very much like the dot-com situation from the early 2000s.
