Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Green Market Report is a leading financial news source for the cannabis industry. The mission of the Green Market Report is to provide accurate and timely information about the cannabis market, including industry trends, regulatory developments, and financial analysis. It aims to be a reliable source of news and insights for investors, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders interested in the cannabis sector which is dynamic and constantly changing. Whether it is the battle between the illicit and legal markets, the latest legalization developments, company earnings, or the attempts to rectify the war on drugs with social equity problems Green Market Report tries to cover all the major issues.

Green Market Report has been online for six years and had over 100,000 page views in 2023. It has become a watchdog of sorts for the cannabis industry despite a small but dedicated staff. Coverage of stock fraud issues, lawsuits, and investigative reporting have become our most valuable contribution to the industry. Many of these companies are penny stocks with little mainstream coverage. Our ability to cover these companies gives small investors the ability to read unbiased news coverage and make informed decisions. Conversely, our coverage of bad players holds them accountable knowing we won’t be intimidated into not covering their fraudulent behavior.

Many of the industry’s top CEOs have said they start their day reading the Green Market Report website. We have had business people say they were able to vet potential partners based on the stories we have written. We are continually asked for information regarding class action lawsuits because we are so thorough at covering small investors who have been preyed upon.

Our reporting requires us to go beyond company press releases and dig deep into securities filings in the U.S. and also Canada, where many cannabis companies are headquartered. This level of analysis requires reporters who understand complicated business terms and often requires some forensic accounting to decipher the truth for our readers. It is also not uncommon for our reporters to file FOIA requests to get hard-to-access information.

Ultimately, our goal is to deliver smart and valuable stories about the cannabis industry to keep our readers informed.
