Bruce Linton, formerly the CEO of cannabis behemoth Canopy Growth and now Director of Mind Medicine is this week’s guest on The Green Rush! Since his departure from Canopy in 2019, Bruce has since moved onto several new ventures within the cannabis and psychedelics spaces but is still the unquestioned face of the industry. Started with CNBC’s Kevin O’Leary, Bruce’s most notable role right now is with Mind Medicine, a neuro-pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and deploys psychedelic inspired medicines to improve health, promote wellness and alleviate suffering.







Fresh off taking Mind Med public on the NEO Exchange, Bruce sat down with Lewis to chat about what he’s been up to since his departure from Canopy. The two touch on all of the headlines dominating the cannabis industry including most notably the public markets and capital crunch as well as what his outlook is for the long and short-term future of the space. In addition, the two tackle the burgeoning psychedelics industry and explore the work that Mind Med is currently undergoing, why now was the time to take the company public and what convinced Bruce that psychedelics were the real deal.







In addition, the pair discuss Bruce’s other cannabis ventures including his roles at Vireo Health (CSE: VREO), Better Choice Company (OTC: BTTR) and Gage Cannabis. 







As most know, Bruce is a one-of-a-kind leader in this space and his interview with Lewis provides a ton of great insights on how he is approaching the future.







Don’t sit back, lean forward and enjoy!
