Aphria Inc (fka APHA)

Do you remember back in October when Aphria reported they lost almost a million dollars worth of MJ crop because of a "lack of qualified workers" needed to harvest it?

I remember this news vividly because it was right in the middle of my first Aphria swing trade. I was like "WTF? These guys knew they had a boatload of ripening pot and they didn't hire enough people to pick it? What kind of an incompetent company did I just go long on???"

That excuse they gave always struck me as pretty suspicious and now in light of QCM's allegations I'm starting to wonder if the REAL reason they lost all that marijuana is because it really was infested with bugs and/or mold. It would certainly make sense that they would come up with a lame excuse like "all our workers quit because it gets hot in a greenhouse in the summertime" rather than tell the world your growing facility if full of bugs and mold.

Aphria needs to invest in a little pesticide and the first thing they should spray it on is that DeFrancesco worm.
