Cannabis Education at the University of British Columbia, almost oxymoron if it weren’t for the degree of science and the seriousness of the pursuit of the magic bi-product that the cannabis plant can render; money!
We’re witness to an amazing spectacle, the industrialization, commercialization and stock market exploitation of weed.
Vancouver has regained her crown as the pump and dump penny stock capital once again, to draw-out of retirement the biggest players in the stock promotion game. Bay Street of Toronto is a step ahead with many listings on TSX and many funds are buying them up.

Vancouver was once famous for it’s penny stock market called the VSE and it was instrumental for getting gold mines funded with start-up capital, so that the company could grow to meet the qualifications of NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange, or even maybe become an NYSE listed titan like Wheaton Precious Metals from Vancouver.
It is estimated that 70 percent of silver production comes as a by-product from base metal and gold mines. This characteristic, along with the Company’s bullish sentiment for long-term silver prices, was the basis for creating Vancouver-based Silver Wheaton in 2004.

The new name, Wheaton Precious Metals, better aligns with the Company’s diverse asset base of silver, gold, palladium and cobalt streams with a primary focus on precious metals

However, to get mass investors to take the risk on almost anything, a company still needs to be listed on an exchange. Now that this new stock market boom is happening, it means that the greatest stock promoters, those that earned their stripes by raising capital for silver and gold mines in BC, are now in a footrace to make a last ballyhoo, create a Cannabis Empire conglomerate, by raising millions and millions of dollars via stock markets.
