THE HIGH ROAD: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA

Dec 18th by David Kemp

With so much discussion about the ramifications of the legalization of cannabis in Canada, why has so little dialogue centred around the unique opportunities available to establish cannabis ventures on reserve land? Some ventures, like Indigenous Roots, have recognized and seized this opportunity by setting up operations on various reserves across Canada. Find out why you should be doing the same! We are proud to present this piece, which was written primarily by our very talented co-op student, Damyn Libby, who is currently finishing a degree in Indigenous Studies at UBC's Okanagan campus and who aspires to practicing in Aboriginal Law.

THE HIGH ROAD: FINANCING YOUR COMPANY #1 - DEBT VS. EQUITY

Nov 26th by David Kemp

You've got the seeds of a million dollar business - maybe you've been growing weed for years and you've been developing new strains and varietals, maybe you've discovered the most efficient way to extract oil from cannabis and hemp, or maybe you make the best pot brownies any of your friends have ever tried. But how do you get started? What's the first step to making it all happen? In the immortal lyrics sung by Liza Minelli in Cabaret, “Money makes the world go around, the world go around, the world go around – a mark, a yen, a buck or a pound – is all that makes the world go around…”. While Neil DeGrasse Tyson might happily explain that gravity, not money, actually makes the world go around, there’s no doubt about the importance of money in making things happen - whether you’re building the next Aurora or just creating the local craft cannabis cultivation business you’ve always dreamed of, you’re going to need some kind of financing. If this resonates at all with you, we hope you’ll find this series of articles helpful for learning about methods of raising money, where money comes from, and how to stay on the right side of the law when raising money.
