Jushi Holdings Inc. (JUSHF) announced its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2020, and pre-announced its second-quarter 2020 revenues. Total revenue for Jushi increased 43% sequentially to $8.6 million, while the company delivered a net loss for the quarter of $15.8 million. The net losses were down slightly from the fourth quarter’s net losses of $17 million.

This company is a combination of CannaGlobal, Sansero Life Sciences, and Rise Wellness. The new company said it will focus on psilocybin and other natural compounds to promote emotional, mental, and physical wellness. The company believes that its assembled team of cannabis executives will prove to be a winner in the increasingly crowded space for psilocybin, which is still an illegal substance.
