Simon made the remarks in an interview on Closing Bell alongside Tilray CEO Brendan Kennedy. In December, the Canadian companies announced plans to merge in all-stock deal that would create the biggest cannabis producer by sales in the world. There s a lot of unknown about what will happen in the U.S. but we ll have the balance sheet, we ll have the knowledge, we ll have the brands, we ll have the technology to be able to make a major impact once legalization happens, Simon said. I say full legalization in the next two to three years.
Simon, who will lead the combined company once the deal closes, added that he s a big believer that legalization may happen in Germany and Portugal and some other countries before the U.S.
