Canopy Growth Corp (WEED)

[Mexico10]

Canada's largest medical-cannabis company, which will be able to supply the recreational market after the product is fully legalized, said it will be able to adapt to the government's timeline.

"In my mind, I've been thinking August 1. So if it's July 10 or 18, I really don't care," said Bruce Linton, the chief executive officer at Canopy Growth Corp. "It's going to be better if it's in the summer because people are on vacation. But, other than that, every minute that we have longer just allows us to have more assets available and to negotiate better deals."

Provinces where cannabis will be sold through government-run stores have started signing early contracts with growers to supply product to their shops. Mr. Linton said this is helping his company plan for the future by allowing Canopy to "start doing our work with a lot less guessing."
