Today, one of the largest cannabis companies in the world began trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Under the stock ticker ACB, Aurora began the day down almost 12%. Not a great debut, especially after losing a whopping 22% last week as the company got ready to finally list on the American exchange.

Based in Canada, Aurora has been trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol ACB since July 24th of this year.

Aurora now joins its fellow Canadian cannabis producers, Tilray (TLRY), Canopy Growth (CGC), and Cronos Group (CRON), all who have recently listed their companies on U.S. based markets.
