Banks warming up to weed? BMO agrees to finance Canopy Growth Corporation

Bank of Montreal is the first of Canada’s ‘Big Five’ banks to finance a publicly traded company that’s in the business of growing cannabis.

In a January 17 news release, Smith Falls, Ontario-based Canopy Growth Corporation announced that GMP Securities and BMO-owned BMO Capital Markets had underwritten a $175-million stock sale of more than five million shares, valued at $34.60 each.

While a Bloomberg report notes that two of Canada’s big banks have provided business accounts to companies in the cannabis sector, the deal marks the first time a major bank will lend capital to a licensed producer.

Until now, risk-averse banks have shunned the idea of participating in the legal medical-marijuana market, in large part due to their business in the United States, where cannabis is still illegal under federal law and U.S. attourney general Jeff Sessions has recently vowed to crack down on cannabis.

Kirk's journey through the digital realm began with lines of code and algorithms dancing in his dreams. Armed with a keyboard and an insatiable curiosity, he embarked on the path of software engineering. However, fate had a smoky twist in store for him. As the ones and zeros swirled around him, Kirk had an epiphany – he realized that he was more interested in the highs and lows of the cannabis industry than debugging lines of code. With a leap of faith that would make a bungee jumper blush, he bid farewell to the world of semicolons and database queries and embraced the intoxicating allure of cannabis journalism. Now, Kirk finds himself navigating a different kind of network, one that's all about buds, trichomes, and terpenes. Armed with a pen that's mightier than a vaporizer and a keen eye for detail, he's on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the green world.
