Meanwhile, Canopy is working on ‘Tweed and Tonic’ cannabis-infused drinks as an alternate to alcohol for people averse to hangovers

The biggest of Canada’s booming pot growers, Canopy Growth Corp, has further to go on a string of acquisitions that has seen it suck up at least 12 smaller firms in a year, but it is done buying other producers, Chief Executive Officer Bruce Linton said.

Coca-Cola Co. last year quashed a handful of reports that it was looking at developing cannabis-infused drinks and analysts have pointed to the area as a possible next investment for “sin stocks” like tobacco and alcohol makers. “We will not be buying anyone who currently produces cannabis in Canada for sure,” Linton said. “We’re more interested in what exists in the pharmaceutical world than the cannabis world.”

JUST LIKE GIN AND TONICThe pot industry has seen a string of deals in recent months buoyed by the possibility of cannabis-infused products becoming legal at a federal level in the United States. Linton was confident in the scale his company had developed so far and said other producers would have to merge to compete or pique the interest of other investors.

Iranians say their 'bones breaking' under U.S. sanctionsAs the U.S. piles sanction after sanction on Iran, it's the average person who feels it the most. While many blame U.S. President Donald Trump and his maximalist policy on Iran, many Iranians also blame their own government. Easy fix. Get rid of their leaders Their unemployment is at 12%. Northern Alberta is sitting at over 11% and many parts of the Atlantic & Nunavut are even higher than Iran. Their bones are breaking, but there seems to be no sympathy when Canadians are suffering. We get called whiners by the Liberal supporters. I know where this is going. So does everyone else
