The marijuana industry's first $1 billion 'unicorn' is a Canadian company you've probably never heard of

In a once-abandoned Hershey chocolate factory in the small town of Smiths Falls, Ontario, the largest legal marijuana producer in the world grows, trims, processes, packages, and ships weed across the Great White North.
Canopy Growth is a cannabis holding company that supplies the drug to nearly half of Canada’s current medical marijuana patient base.

Canopy wants to become the Proctor & Gamble of pot. Several brands fall under its umbrella and cater to different user preferences. There’s Tweed, a medical marijuana producer with slick and youthful branding that could be mistaken for a designer jean company. The Quebec-based Vert Medical allows Canopy to tap into the French-speaking market, while Bedrocan Canada has a distinct clinical feel that is likely to gain favour among strictly medicinal users.
