Oct 9, 2026 Federal marijuana rescheduling means institutional capital is coming to cannabis investing
The U.S. cannabis industry has spent years waiting for a single catalyst from the federal government to change its trajectory. Investors have watched for banking reform, rescheduling, federal legalization and tax relief as though one event might suddenly erase the barriers that have kept traditional capital on the sidelines.

Oct 8, 2026 Tilray posts record revenue but cannabis sales drop, shares fall 4% amid profit pressure
Tilray Brands reported a first-quarter revenue record, rising 23% year-over-year, driven by gains in its beer and distribution segments following the BrewDog acquisition.

Despite higher revenue and gross profit, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization decreased due to factors like global fuel surcharges. The company remains optimistic with a net cash position and reduced debt, but the market will watch closely to see if cannabis sales stabilize and profitability improves in coming quarters. Canopy Growth and Aurora Cannabis, more focused on cannabis, showed smaller stock declines, indicating Tilray's mixed results are company-specific rather than sector-wide.

Oct 6, 2026 Do government-run cannabis retail sales work?
Key points in this article:

Minnesota is one of at least two adult-use cannabis states that allow local governments to operate cannabis retail.

Anoka Cannabis Co., Minnesota’s first city-run cannabis retail store, opened Feb. 5.

The store pays no federal taxes, sidestepping Internal Revenue Code Section 280E.

Other Minnesota cities are seeking retail cannabis licenses.
When Minnesota legalized adult-use cannabis, cities saw an opportunity in the state’s unique law to create a new revenue stream: a marijuana business that could be run much like the municipal liquor stores that have been in business since 1937.

In Anoka, a Twin Cities suburb, the result is Anoka Cannabis Co., a city-owned cannabis store that opened Feb. 5 adjacent to the liquor store the city has owned and operated for 33 years.
