Hi,

Aurora Cannabis bought a profitable vegetable business while taking a huge loss on its investment in its facilities. I hope the cucumber guys can teach Aurora a thing or two about being cost effective. :)

A lawsuit accuses Connecticut of cruel and unusual punishment for the rather widespread practice of charging a prisoner $249 daily, leading to massive debts when released. That's more expensive than the fancy resorts I've traveled to and they provide an all-you-can-eat buffet and a jacuzzi! :)

Dennis Rodman is flying to Russia to speak to Vladimir Putin to try to free WNBA star, Brittney Griner. Here’s to solving international disputes with games of one on one basketball. ;)

Feel free to subscribe to our Cannabis or CBD News Roundups.

Have a pleasant week!
