The Aphria-Tilray Merger that Created the World’s Largest Cannabis Company!
Irwin Simon is Chairman & CEO @ Aphria Inc., Executive Chairman of Whole Earth Brands, Inc., and, Presiding Director of MDC Partners Inc. He joins host America’s Cannabis Conversation to discuss the recent, colossal merger of two of the biggest marijuana companies in Canada, Tilray and Aphria. In so doing, they created the largest cannabis company in the world. It will operates with the ‘Tilray’ name with combined assets of $3.9 billion, and trade under the “TLRY” ticker on Nasdaq. These merging companies had already marketed to Canada and Europe before the merger, and now, as a new super company, it is targeting the largest marijuana consumption market in the world, the United States. In order for the export to the US, however, federal laws that prohibit cannabis must change. Prospects for that look favorable under the current presidential administration. Mr. Simon talks with W420 Radio about how this came about and what it means to consumers. Hear from the top, how they got on top, and how this rapidly expanding market is still changing.
