Shares of Canadian cannabis companies climbed in the premarket trading on Monday after The Wall Street Journal reported that President Donald Trump is considering whether to reschedule marijuana as a less dangerous drug under the Controlled Substances Act.
At a $1M-a-plate fundraiser event at his New Jersey golf club attended by top industry executives, including Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve Cannabis ( OTCQX:TCNNF), earlier this month, Trump said that he is interested in the change, the publication reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Canadian LPs Canopy Growth (NASDAQ: CGC), Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY), Cronos ( CRON), Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ: ACB), SNDL Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL), and OrganiGram Holdings ( OGI) are among notable gainers.
Cannabis-related U.S. stocks, such as GrowGeneration ( GRWG). Village Farms International ( VFF), Flora Growth ( FLGC), and WM Technology ( MAPS) are also on the rise.
Stocks to watch include U.S. MSOs, Curaleaf Holdings ( OTCPK:CURLF), Acreage Holdings (ACRHF), Cresco Labs ( OTCQX:CRLBF), Green Thumb Industries ( OTCQX:GTBIF), Trulieve Cannabis ( OTCQX:TCNNF), Ayr Wellness ( OTCQX:AYRWF), TerrAscend ( OTCQX:TSNDF) and Verano Holdings ( OTCQX:VRNOF). |
