Largest Cannabis LP Stocks Collapsed By Over 9% This Week - Here's Why

Tree or TACO? Once again Trump's promises cause a run-up and then the lack of any follow-through - in this case, no progress in moving marijuana from Schedule I to III - results in cannabis MSOs (multi-state operators) dropping back toward lows.

As I mentioned in yesterday's article (see here) on the performance of the largest American vertically integrated (i.e. seed-to-sale) cannabis multi-state operators (MSOs), it has been more than a month since Trump said his administration was looking at moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III and would make a determination over the next few weeks. Such has not happened as "promised", however, leading to a 12.4% crash in the MSO category this week and a 9.4% crash in the largest Canadian cannabis licensed producers (LPs) category.
