Best Hemp Companies in North America

Some of the best hemp companies in North America emerged following the legalization of marijuana in the region including parts of the bordering U.S. Cannabis companies and investors alike saw a major opportunity. More and more companies have launched, and some major non-cannabis companies, like beverage producer Constellation Brands (STZ), have invested heavily in cannabis-focused businesses in a show of support for the future of the industry. For many investors, the proof of a cannabis company’s success is similar to that of any other company’s: it’s in the financials. Now that cannabis companies have reported their first sets of financial results since legalization took place, analysts can get a better sense of just how justified (or not) the hype has been.

The legalization of marijuana in Canada and several US states has brought a wealth of opportunities to the industry. It has seen numerous new businesses spring up, as well as existing businesses converting from illegal operations to legitimate ones, with investors eager to get in on the industry at the ground floor. However, the initial bubble has burst, and marijuana companies now face a more moderate market.

Canopy Growth Corporation

In April 2014, Canopy Growth became the first cannabis company in North America to be publicly traded. They followed that with being the first to complete a “bought deal”, to diversify our platform to include both greenhouse and indoor growing, to acquire a major competitor and to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Continuing those firsts, They remain the only cannabis company to be a member of a major global stock market index, in this case, the S&P/TSX Composite index.

Away from the markets, Tweed, a Canopy Growth subsidiary, was the first to introduce the now-standard concept of Compassionate Pricing to make medical cannabis affordable for patients and to continue supporting a patient’s right to grow at home by selling the widest variety of seeds in the legal Canadian sector. Their commitment to education has and always will be unwavering, as one of the first Canadian cannabis companies to offer Mainpro-M1 accredited continuing medical education programs to Canadian physicians, and to launch in-person assistance through our Tweed Main Street locations.

Tweed was also the first Canadian producer to be approved to export dried cannabis to Germany, and their wholly-owned German subsidiary continues to offer an ever-increasing variety of products for sale through German pharmacies.
