Drake and Canopy Growth, two giants for the benefits of cannabis

Imagine two international icons coming together to create a cannabis wellness company! Drake is one of the most important and acclaimed artists in the world today, considered the most influential hip-hop artist of this decade.

Canopy Growth is very clear who the most influential people in the world to do business with are and intends to count on them for business purposes – you know, this type of commercial connection in which everyone’s a winner.
