Episode Details

It’s Monday, August 18th, and the cannabis industry is starting a new week with momentum. Earnings season is behind us—and for once, it wasn’t a disaster. Operators held their ground, showing resilience across revenues, margins, and balance sheets. With the fundamentals intact, attention now turns to Washington.The key question: will Donald Trump announce cannabis rescheduling, and if so, when? He recently confirmed his administration is “looking at it,” with a decision possible in the coming weeks. For investors, that means every appearance from Trump, the DEA, or the DOJ could move cannabis stocks.Last week’s late dip wasn’t about weak earnings—it was market mechanics. MSOS, the U.S. cannabis ETF, was driven under $5 to burn option holders around the $4.50 and $5 strikes, reportedly pushed by Toronto desks. With OPEX behind us, the “shackles” are off and the group is free to trade on news again.Beyond Washington, there are other catalysts to watch: • States: Pennsylvania adult-use chatter, Texas hemp crackdowns, New York licensing fixes, and North Carolina medical progress. • Enforcement: Raids and seizures that reinforce the regulated market. • International: Germany imported record medical cannabis volumes in Q1 2025, even as regulators propose restrictions—an evolving dynamic for Canadian LPs like Tilray and Canopy. • Corporate moves: Post-earnings 8-Ks, refinancings, and store updates.Start your week with TDR Cannabis in 5, presented by Dutchie, as we break down the signals investors need to watch from August 18–22.#CannabisStocks #CannabisInvesting #MSOS #Curaleaf #Trulieve #GreenThumb #Tilray #CanopyGrowth #TrumpNews #CannabisReformWant to see last week's recap?   • Trump Comments Spark Cannabis Rally | TTB ...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Texas Cannabis: Expansion or Hemp Ban? | T...     • Trump Eyes Cannabis Rescheduling — Myths v...     • Matt Gaetz Urges Trump: Reschedule Cannabi...     • Why Rescheduling Could Transform Cannabis ...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
