Team

Surprise surprise their MD and founder is an ex Morgan Stanley investment banker

GM is a pharma bro and rest of the team look as though they might as well be selling financial services although I’m sure they’ll all tell us their dedication to the plant is sacrosanct etc etc

For some reason they don’t publish their board to their site, yes i could go to ASIC and spend money to find out but the act of not being transparent on the site is enough for me.

Anyway they are making loads of money have expanded into the UK to another market where they won’t have to worry about adult use coming on board any time soon so they can rake in more cash there using the same business models

Is it just me that finds this standardised Australian set up truly depressing , eg have someone from MS or GS with the contacts to raise money from invstors from places that jail people for CBD use.

Then lobby federal and state govt to ensure that there are plenty of reasons people can have “medical cannabis” but no reasons that people can have adult use cannabis. Then as and when adult use finally sneaks through the door they have a business so wealthy and powerful they just brand out into that market and hey presto cannabis is a souless as mining,oil, real estate and financial services delivered Australian stylee….

Here as I indicated in the headline is their latest hiring spree
