  • Cannabis Stocks Surge Amid Marijuana Rescheduling Rumors

    Cannabis Stocks Surge Amid Marijuana Rescheduling Rumors
    Apr 25 2025
    In our latest Trade to Black podcast, hosts Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell discuss how cannabis stocks are catching a bid amid speculation surrounding marijuana rescheduling and the Trump administration.Cannabis investors saw strong movement in marijuana stocks yesterday, with major names making notable gains. The rally coincided with Weldon Angelos' visit to the White House—perhaps a sign that change is on the horizon. However, skepticism remains. While momentum is building, the DEA is unpredictable, and newly introduced bills face significant legislative hurdles. Key movers included Ayr Wellness (AYRWF), Verano Holdings (VRNOF), TerrAscend (TSND), and Jushi Holdings (JUSHF), along with industry giants Trulieve (TCNNF) and Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF). Dan from the Chart Guys will join us to break down the technicals. What cannabis stocks are showing strength? What support levels should traders watch? And how should cannabis investors approach the price action?Log on to find out. #CannabisStocks #MarijuanaStocks #CannabisIndustry #Investing #TradeToBlack #MarijuanaRescheduling #TrumpAdministration #Trump #CannabisInvestors #PotStocksWant to see the last week's recap? • Congress Highlights Biggest Developme...

    STATES 2.0 & PREPARE Act: What Cannabis Investors Need to Know
    Apr 24 2025
    In our latest Trade To Black Podcast presented by AdvisorShares ETF PSIL (NYSEARCA: PSIL), host Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell welcome Gretchen Gailey, founder of Panoptic Strategies, and a seasoned Washington insider with years of experience in cannabis lobbying. Gretchen's background includes an extensive background with lawmakers and advocacy groups, progressing cannabis reform and bridging the gap between businesses and policymakers.We'll discuss two major marijuana bills filed last week by Congressman Dave Joyce: the STATES 2.0 Act and the PREPARE Act. These bills represent significant steps toward cannabis legalization and reform. The STATES Act addresses prohibitionists by setting up research initiatives, traffic laws, and SAFE Banking provisions. It also tackles 280E, making cannabis companies exempt from its burdensome tax restrictions. Meanwhile, the PREPARE Act helps Congress gradually prepare for full marijuana legalization, aligning federal laws with state-level regulations and opening the door for interstate commerce.Plus, next week marks Unity Week, where advocacy groups will meet with members of Congress to push these bills forward. We'll discuss what the key messaging needs to be.Tap into the emerging psychedelics sector with $PSIL, the AdvisorShares ETF giving investors exposure to a powerful new wave of biotech, therapy, and wellness innovation. https://advisorshares.com/etfs/psil/#Cannabis #MarijuanaLegalization #CannabisReform #CannabisStocks #FederalLegalization #SafeBanking #CongressmanDaveJoyce #CannabisIndustry #HempPolicy #CannabisAdvocacy Want to see the last week's recap? • Congress Highlights Biggest Developme...

  • Cannabis Industry Enters New Phase—Will Smart Money Follow?

    Cannabis Industry Enters New Phase—Will Smart Money Follow?
    Apr 22 2025
    Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell welcome back cannabis advisor and investor Seth Yakatan to break down a pivotal moment in the cannabis industry.We’ve officially entered what many are calling the “survivor period” in marijuana, where fundamentals are coming to the forefront. The era of easy money is over, and only well-positioned cannabis operators will remain standing. With capital tightening and valuations resetting, the smart money could see this as a key investment opportunity.Seth shares why the long-anticipated wave of consolidation hasn’t fully materialized in the cannabis space, pointing to financial constraints, overleveraged operators, and lack of clarity on rescheduling cannabis at the federal level. As we enter a critical 18-month window, the question is: who will consolidate, and who will be left behind?We also dive into the rise of cannabis beverages, as companies like Curaleaf pivot into hemp-derived products. Is this a smart strategic move—or a risk?Lastly, the AFC Gamma lawsuit signals deeper financial strain across the marijuana industry, with implications for lenders, operators, and investors.0:00:00 - Intro0:01:02 - Seth's activities and conference circuit0:02:40 - Survivor syndrome in cannabis industry0:11:31 - Investment strategies & top-performing companies0:20:43 - Beverage market and CuraLeaf's strategic moves0:26:42 - Recent earnings season highlights0:31:01 - Market saturation and retail licensing0:33:30 - Beverage market potential and future acquisitions0:35:14 - Potential impact of rescheduling on the cannabis industry0:38:20 - Closing remarks and future outlook#Cannabis #CannabisIndustry #CannabisStocks #Marijuana #CannabisInvestment #ReschedulingCannabis #CannabisNews #SmartMoney #HempBeverages #CannabisBusiness #MarijuanaStocks #CannabisCommunity #CannabisTrendsWant to see the last week's recap? • SNDL Headlines a Volatile Week in Can...

  • Hemp vs Cannabis: Industry Tensions, Reform, and Market Reality

    Hemp vs Cannabis: Industry Tensions, Reform, and Market Reality
    Apr 17 2025
    In our latest Trade To Black podcast, host Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell tee up a powerful episode featuring Jim Higdon, CEO of Cornbread Hemp, and Anthony Coniglio, CEO of NewLake Capital (OTCQX: NLCP).Jim Higdon takes us inside the growing tension between the hemp and cannabis industries—two sectors that share the same plant but play by very different rules. Higdon discusses the regulatory gray area that continues to frustrate licensed cannabis operators, particularly when it comes to synthetic cannabinoids like Delta-8 and Delta-10, which are being sold with little to no oversight. He explains why Cornbread Hemp has taken a different route—focusing strictly on compliant, full-spectrum CBD products—and how the hemp industry can clean up its own act before federal reform steps in. Jim also shares what he believes needs to change in the next version of the Farm Bill to create a level playing field.Later, Anthony Coniglio joins us to address the wave of lease defaults in the cannabis industry, shedding light on what’s really happening in the capital markets.#CannabisIndustry #Hemp #CannabisReform #CannabisNews #CannabisStocks #MarijuanaIndustry #CBD #BusinessNews #CannabisTrends #CannabisCommunityWant to see the last week's recap? • SNDL Headlines a Volatile Week: Top D...
