In today's episode of "Cannabis Daily", here's what we're covering:

• Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman who's running for a Senate seat is banking on legislation bringing voters out to the polls. He even has t-shirts! And you know someone means business when they have t-shirts! 
• Experts at the US Hemp Roundtable claim they can prove the relative safety of CBD. They want the Food and Drug Administration to regulate cannabidiol, according to a press release. Here is the press release we mention in the episode.
• BMO Capital Markets have put out a document outlining possible ways Quebec-based Hexo could change its strategy. It's peacocking for Tilray.
• Shareholders of international CBD company Chill Brands have voted to raise £4 million. And its CEO claims that’ll "be enough to keep the company going this financial year"...

On this episode of BofC Live, we connect with Sébastien St-Louis the CEO of HEXO, a leading cannabis producer in Canada.

HEXO has recently committed to becoming carbon neutral by September 2021 while at the same time offsetting the emissions of all 1,200 of their employees. We wanted to connect with St-Louis to talk about the origins of this commitment and how they will implement this goal.

As well, HEXO has announced a significant string of acquisitions over the past several months, including Redecan, 48North and Zenabis – placing HEXO near, or at, the top of cannabis companies in Canada. We wanted to check in with St-Louis to hear how these acquisitions factor into HEXO’s long-term strategy.

Here we are again for another week of our laid back data backed conversation on all things cannabis. In this episode we are joined by the one and only Alan Brochstein of New Cannabis Ventures and 420investor. Our discussion leads us to Illinois and Michigan where we get into the some of the constrains and dysfunctions these 2 US states are facing in what should be booming legal markets. We talk about California being a tough but important market for MSOs and operators to make it in, and why a retail only approach might not be the best model in the Golden State. Finally get into Canadian cannabis companies, what’s driving their stock prices, gambling on the NASDAQ, and cannabis companies who are thriving in suboptimal conditions. Keep this episode queued up wherever you are — we cover a lot of ground here!

On this episode of BofC Live, we connect with Lori Hatcher, Head of Marketing for Truss Beverage Co. – a joint venture between HEXO and Molson Coors.

As well, how consumers are finding and enjoying the Truss suite of brands and products.

Two MXG drinks that taste different but suffer the same flaws. [@1:10]

Mango Pineapple is bright yellow, and Tropical Fruit is pinkish-red. Both smell fruity and sugary, and taste it too. Far and away the best part of these drinks is the effect—a happy buzzy head high. But first you have to choke down the taste.
