Welcome to the latest edition of “Last week in Weed,” catching you up on the latest breaking news and industry developments in the world of cannabis.
Here’s what you may have missed over the last week:
Cannabis Stocks Experience Mixed Movements
The cannabis stock market saw varied performances this week. Companies like Green Thumb Industries, Tilray Brands, Curaleaf Holdings, and Canopy Growth Corp. are exploring the hemp-derived THC market to offset declines due to delayed federal legalization. Hemp-based THC, legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill, offers a less regulated avenue that could potentially generate significant revenue. Are there risks associated? Definitely, but with the constant “maybe tomorrow” treatment the federal government continues to give, alternative avenues are bound to be explored.
Kosher for Passover THC Gummies Introduced
Jewish cannabis consumers everywhere rejoiced as kosher-certified THC gummies have been introduced just in time for Passover. This marks a historic first, allowing observant individuals to partake without compromising dietary laws. The move reflects the growing integration of cannabis products into every facet of life including diverse cultural and religious practices.
