Tilray stock heads downward on doubts of cannabis risks

Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY) stock has fallen over 47% in the year so far. In the mid-2018, the shares have started the downward trend as the question arose about the safety of cannabinoid that is found in marijuana for human consumption. This question still remained unanswered as the Federal Drug Administration recently cast its doubts about the risks of cannabis food products in its first public hearing.

Will Canada follow Denver’s lead in decriminalizing magic mushrooms?

In May, the Mile-High City proved it’s still leading the charge against prohibition, even in less-well-trodden, perhaps even taboo, spaces.

Though Denver’s vote to decriminalize the use of magic mushrooms for anyone 21 and over only passed by a hair, residents in one of the first canna-friendly cities south of the border no longer have to worry about serving jail time for owning or using psilocybin mushrooms.

As Canada gears up for pot 2.0, more shortages are on the menu

Canada’s legalization of pot edibles later this year is facing an even more shambolic start than the dried flower market, which is still struggling to meet demand, according to industry players.

“At least that time we knew what the permissible product types were going to be and were already making them in the medical context,” said cannabis lawyer Trina Fraser, a partner at Brazeau Seller Law in Ottawa.

Canada will add edibles, extracts and topicals to the list of legal cannabis products no later than Oct. 17. Many analysts agree these products will generate better demand and margins than dried flower. But the federal government has not yet issued regulations for the new formats, making it difficult for producers to prepare lest they unknowingly violate some rule.

Today, many marketers and retailers, seem to think that their brand(s) can become supercharged just by adding two words to their brand(s) name. More awareness. More sales. Significantly increased revenues! All they have to do is to add the following: "CBD infused (insert the brand name here)". Beer, alcohol, candy, foods, lotions… pet food!

Recent predictions for the CBD infused products market have created much enthusiasm and the optimists not only see the glass as half full… but they see it as overflowing!
