Hip hop and cannabis are a great combo, according to rapper Raekwon, who once said the music he recorded with his fellow Wu Tang Clan members was fuelled by weed and pizza. So it's no surprise that the Quebec-based cannabis grower HEXO tapped Wu Tang for a free concert tonight in Toronto, but Health Canada isn't a fan of the event, which could be breaking the government's strict rules for licensed producers.

Sports fans like to argue about which basketball player is the greatest of all time -- the GOAT. Some like Michael Jordan. Others go with Lebron James. Perhaps a few throw out the names of other great basketball players of the past. But the arguments usually aren't settled, mainly because it comes down to personal opinion and which stats receive higher prioritization.

However, no argument is needed when it comes to determining the best-performing marijuana stock of all time. There's a hands-down winner. and it's probably not who you think it is.

Runners-up

Let's first acknowledge several marijuana stocks that have performed really well, but not close enough to take the top spot.

As we quickly approach the official legalization of marijuana in Canada, more and more jobs are popping up in this industry. This industry is definitely on the rise and it's just going to keep growing.

If you're a fan of weed or are looking for a new career path, you're in luck my friends! There are several companies that need employees in Quebec, and you could be one of them.

I've compiled a list of all the jobs in the weed industry you can apply for in Quebec:

Many Canadian police services are still "putting the finishing touches" on the rules surrounding officers' consumption of cannabis, less than three weeks before marijuana is legalized for recreational use.

So far, Calgary is the only jurisdiction with a complete abstinence policy.

Officers in the Calgary Police Service will be banned from consuming marijuana even on their days off or vacations — a policy that the police union says it plans to fight. Other police departments with policies in place require officers to be "fit for duty," more in line with the rules surrounding the consumption of alcohol and prescription drugs.

The CEO of California-based marijuana producer and seller Terra Tech is watching the cannabis industry boom north of the border with more than a little apprehension — because he is already seeing the beginnings of an invasion of U.S. markets by Canada's cannabis firms, today the world's largest.

"The concern for some of the players is the market will be dominated by Canadian companies, shareholders and banks if we allow too much time to pass," Peterson said by phone from California.

With Canada set to legalize recreational marijuana on Oct. 17, Canadian cannabis stock prices have soared, giving these startup firms enormous amounts of money with which to invest in their business.

Tyler Rumi looks across 24 acres of rolling farmland on the north end of Salt Spring Island. While some island residents see protected agricultural land where mature trees have been clearcut to make room for an industrial-style facility, Rumi sees a landscape being primed to grow B.C.’s next cash crop: cannabis.

You can't get away from Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY). The Canadian marijuana stock makes news when it goes up, which has happened a whole lot over the last couple of months. And it makes news when it goes down. Tilray has done a good bit of that, too, over the past few days, at one point losing over half of its market cap.

If you've been trading marijuana stocks hoping to make a lot of money fast, stop it. Even if you've been really lucky so far, it's time to change your perspective. Shift your focus from the short term to the long term. Why? First of all, you're more likely to generate solid returns. And the reality is that there are several marijuana stocks that have a really good shot at being long-term winners. Three that I think fit the bill are CannaRoyalty (NASDAQOTH:CNNRF), Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC), and Scotts Miracle-Gro(NYSE:SMG).

A courier company with experience delivering medical marijuana will be bringing recreational pot to Islanders once it is legalized next month.

P.E.I. Liquor Control Commission spokesman Zach Currie confirmed shipping company Purolator has been chosen to provide home delivery for recreational cannabis in the province.

Purolator submitted one of four or five proposals, Currie said. “There wasn’t major interest.” Choosing a delivery provider brings the province another step closer to being ready for Oct. 17 when recreational marijuana is legalized across Canada. Home delivery won’t be the only way for Islanders to buy marijuana once it is legalized.

The big day is nearly here. Just 18 days from now, on Oct. 17, recreational marijuana will be legal for purchase in licensed dispensaries, and online in some provinces, throughout Canada. This'll make our neighbor to the north the first industrialized country in the world to wave the green flag on adult-use weed, and also open the door to some serious profit potential for marijuana stocks.
