Reference excerpt

VIVO Cannabis Inc (formerly ABcann Global) is a Canadian licensed cannabis producer, headquartered in Napanee, Ontario. Prior to being acquired by MediPharm Labs Corp., VIVO traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange as VIVO.

History VIVO received two of the first 15 licences by Health Canada in 2014. It became a publicly traded company in April 2017 on the TSX Venture Exchange. In August 2017, the company received a $15 million investment by Cannabis Wheaton to fund the second production facility at its 65-acre property in Napanee. Effective January 24, 2020, the company's stocks were moved from the TSX Venture Exchange to the Toronto Stock Exchange. In April 2023, VIVO merged with TSX-listed MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX: LABS) in an all-stock deal that resulted in VIVO becoming a subsidiary of MediPharm.

Operations The company has three cannabis brands: Beacon Medical, Fireside and Lumina. The products are grown using seeds from the Netherlands, and a computerized process where each plant is controlled and monitored. The company has a comprehensive research partnership with the University of Guelph to enhance cannabis production and uses. In February 2018, VIVO acquired Harvest Medicine Inc, a medical cannabis clinic with 9,700 patients. In August 2018, they acquired Canna Farms, a licensed producer located in Hope, British Columbia. VIVO works with the Ontario Cannabis Store and the Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis Commission as a supplier of recreational marijuana to Ontario and Alberta. Canna Farms, a VIVO subsidiary, is a supplier of recreational marijuana to British Columbia through the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with VIVO Cannabis

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what VIVO Cannabis claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to VIVO Cannabis before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about VIVO Cannabis ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of VIVO Cannabis

In research: VIVO Cannabis appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses VIVO Cannabis in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: VIVO Cannabis is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2017 establishments in Ontario, Agriculture companies established in the 2010s, Canadian companies established in 2017, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for VIVO Cannabis outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
