AC8 has Canopy as its major investor. IMO it doesnt get much better when it comes to "backing" in the cannabis industry at the moment. Canopy SP is at record highs of $60 from $1.50 in 2015. These guys obviously know what they are doing and to see them wanting a decent slice of AC8 before we are fully "operational" its a great vote of confidence for the AC8 future (in my opinion).
