  • Resumen

  • Over the past 48 hours, the cannabis industry has experienced significant developments across regulation, market movement, and consumer trends. In the United States, recent federal discussions have driven a surge in investor optimism. Reports indicate that former President Trump is lobbying Congress to pass the SAFER Banking Act, a bill designed to grant cannabis businesses access to the mainstream U.S. banking system. This potential reform is energizing cannabis stocks such as Green Thumb Industries, Trulieve Cannabis, and Curaleaf Holdings. Cannabis ETFs, including AdvisorShares MSOS and YOLO, have also responded positively. The legislative push, combined with ongoing talks of federal cannabis rescheduling, has contributed to a bullish mood in the market over the last week, marking a shift from prior months of stagnation when Senate gridlock halted progress on industry banking reforms. If enacted, the reform could resolve persistent cash-flow and security issues faced by operators and accelerate consolidation and investment activity in the sector[5].

    Meanwhile, New York’s cannabis market is facing regulatory upheaval. Governor Kathy Hochul publicly labeled the state’s legal cannabis rollout a failure, citing a scathing new report that highlights inexperienced leadership and rampant illegal sales. In response, New York is overhauling its Office of Cannabis Management and intensifying crackdowns on illegal operators. These enforcement actions, including multimillion-dollar product seizures, have created uncertainty for licensed sellers, many of whom are struggling to compete with unregulated vendors. Business owners report significant financial losses as they wait for improved regulatory clarity and market stabilization[1].

    On the consumer side, data shows daily marijuana users now outnumber daily drinkers for the first time, reflecting a major shift in public behavior. A majority of consumers reported appreciation for mainstream 4/20 promotions, signaling rising normalization of cannabis use[1][3].

    Elsewhere, states like Minnesota and Maryland are advancing local legalization frameworks, while Michigan industry groups are calling for limits on new licenses to curb oversupply[2][4]. Overall, the past week reflects a volatile but rapidly evolving landscape, with leaders responding through regulatory reforms, aggressive enforcement, and strategic positioning for coming federal changes. Compared to earlier periods of uncertainty, these shifts suggest the industry is at the cusp of broader legitimacy and market maturation.
