Perhaps it should be pointed out that the cannabis market is an Emerging Market, and as such is in a Growth Phase. If anything, companies will be spinning off new companies, such as USMJ / PURA. Mergers & Acquisitions are NOT traditionally seen until a market enters into a Consolidation Phase, when the sector becomes saturated with companies vying for the same business space - and that's quite a ways off. As an aside, mergers are ugly beasts, and nobody should ever wish for one.
