Grab your pick and shovel, there’s gold in them thar hills! Or should I say… green. And like the days of the Australian gold rush, some of these names will go on to make their fortune, while others will limp home, carrying a worn-down pick and a wheelbarrow full of iron sulfide and quartz.
Cannabis investment is experiencing a period of rapid growth as Australian companies join the rush to create the next successful product.
