May 14 (Reuters) - Canada's Tilray Inc reported a bigger quarterly loss on Tuesday, as the cannabis producer ramped up investments, acquired a hemp-based food maker and expanded internationally.
Net loss widened to $30.3 million, or 32 cents per share, in the quarter ended March 31, from $5.2 million, or 7 cents per share, the year earlier.
The Nanaimo, British Columbia-based company's revenue nearly tripled to $23 million, boosted by the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada last year.
