Canopy Interview James Alexander Michie

It is necessary to know about an area before investing in it. The more you know about it, the better it is. For this, a good option to learn more about the subject or area in which you want to involve is to consult people who really know and master the subject. That they are extremely intelligent when it comes to making a decision or something similar with respect to the area or industry that is desired.

There were several questions Schaefer asked, including what is all this time and effort concentrated on? How do you see the development of the marijuana business in the coming years and where do you think it is the best place to place investors’ money?

And for this Alexandrian expressed: “We believe that the cannabis industry will move in five different waves, in any developed country that is seeking legalization”.
