The Week In Cannabis: Earnings Season, A GOP Legalization Bill, Seth Rogen & Sarah Silverman's Campaign

NBA star Al Harrington&rsquo;s Viola cannabis products will be available across Canada on&nbsp;Medical Cannabis by Shoppers online platform thanks to a partnership with Avicanna Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avcnf#OTCQX">AVCNF</a>) (FSE: 0NN), a Canadian biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of plant-derived, cannabinoid-based products. The initial lineup includes THC and CBD live terpene disposable vaporizers&nbsp;and will soon extend into other categories including 510 cartridges and concentrates.
Medical Cannabis by Shoppers is a subsidiary of Loblaw Companies Ltd (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lblcf#OTC">LBLCF</a>)&rsquo;s Shoppers Drug Mart&nbsp;Inc., Canada&rsquo;s leading health, beauty and convenience retailer.

Additionally, having Viola&rsquo;s premium products launched in Canada through our distribution agreement with Medical Cannabis by Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. will be a huge win for Canadians as the products will be available nationwide immediately.&rdquo;

Loblaw to Acquire Shoppers Drug Mart for C$61.54/Share

Analysts at TD Securities downgrade Loblaw (OTC: LBLCF) from "action list buy" to "buy." The target price for LBLCF is set to $51.
TD Securities says, “Year to date, Loblaw has been the best performing stock in our coverage universe by a wide margin – i.e., the share price is up almost 30% since we upgraded on January 20th and up more than 7% since reporting Q2 consensus beating results on July 22. However, this strong performance also means that there is now less of a buffer in the event of temporary IT integration challenges and/or labour strife, both of which are possible in the coming quarters.”
“As a result, we have found it increasingly difficult to pound the table as the price continues to hit new 52-week highs….That said, should the stock pull back meaningfully on these or other temporary events, it could provide a more attractive entry point and an opportunity to upgrade our recommendation again,” the analysts add.
