RIV Capital CEO Narbe Alexandrian said he's using the money to shop for US cannabis deals.

RIV Capital CEO Narbe Alexandrian says he's using the money — which will bring his firm's funds to $320 million — to go shopping for US cannabis deals.

That debt will convert to equity over six years with a 0.7% annual interest rate .
