Cannabis stock markets await US midterm results

MIDTERM BALLOTS

Cannabis stock markets await US midterm results

Investors are focusing on the U.S. midterm elections, which could spur moves in everything from energy companies to cannabis stocks, reports Reuters

The midterms take place on Tuesday, 8 November and, Reuters highlights, so far analysts are expecting a split government with the outcome possibly hindering President Joe Biden’s agenda with traders appearing to be leaning toward a Republican win. 

Reuters writes that, with cannabis stocks such as Canopy Growth tending to move with regulatory headlines, a Democratic win will increase the odds of more progressive cannabis legislation.

TOBACCO GUIDANCE

Outcry from medical cannabis caregivers in Maine

New guidance from Maine’s cannabis regulator has “caused an outcry” as it prevents medical cannabis caregivers without physical retail locations from selling cannabis pre-rolls and vape products, reports MJ Biz Daily

The document states that Maine’s definition of a “tobacco product” includes cannabis pre-rolls as well as “electronic smoking devices” and their associated liquids, writes the publication, and that sales without a retail tobacco license are subject to “criminal charges, imprisonment, and fines.” 

However, Theory Wellness CEO Brandon Pollock said the guidance “won’t have an impact on adult recreational-use retailers because they’re already licensed for tobacco and there’s already an age limit of 21 for purchases.”
