On What'd You Miss This Week, Scarlet Fu, Joe Weisenthal, Caroline Hyde and Romaine Bostick sat down with the founder and co-CEO of Canopy Growth, Bruce Linton, to talk about his goal to become the "Google of the cannabis market". For Linton, who sees himself as running a "tech company that grows cannabis," achieving Google status comes from consumer trust in a consistent product.

"We've tried to push the boundaries of what people expect in cannabis," he said. "With three keystrokes, we could tell you where every gram is in production." This is the key for Canopy Growth to stand out in a young industry not yet to the maturity level of having brand affinity, Linton explained. "You wait in line ninety years. You buy what's in the store." As for competition, the Canopy Growth CEO shrugged off fears of big tobacco getting into marijuana. "We're doing the right things to be the dominant company," he said.
