On an investment note, we like to highlight Organigram July 21st, 2020,  financial release of a 22% revenue decline.  Their most interesting statement was ” As the Company adjusts its production methods to produce higher THC levels in the cannabis plants, the yield per plant is reduced by approximately 20%. ”  Also surprised by the market transition to larger formats, did Organigram think cannabis users liked 3.5 grams packages?  48North is on the opposite end of Organigram and represents what real passionate cannabis growers produce.  Good luck on 48N 2020 summer outdoor season.
