Canada's largest medical marijuana producer, Canopy Growth, took a hit after its first earnings report as a public company in the U.S. stoked fears Canadian marijuana is overvalued, but CEO Bruce Linton shrugged off investor concerns on Thursday.

In Canada, "by 2020 or 2021, there will be too much cannabis produced. If I'm still selling primarily an ingredient, I have completely dropped the ball. You want to transform it," Linton said on CNBC's "Squawk Alley."

As Canada marches toward recreational legalization in October, two of the marijuana-based products Linton is most optimistic about marketing to a broader audience are beverages and sleep aids.
