The cannabis industry has witnessed a surge in bullish sentiment, with several companies experiencing significant gains in their stock prices. Elixinol Wellness shares rose by 490.50%, followed by 1933 Industries and iAnthus Capital Holdings. MariMed, Tilray Brands, and Cresco Labs also saw notable increases, ranging from 15.42% to 9.85% [1].

However, not all cannabis stocks fared well. Losers in the industry included CNBX Pharmaceuticals, CordovaCann, and 4Front Ventures, which saw declines of up to 34.58% [1]. The market's perception of the business has been significantly impacted by the growing optimism regarding federal marijuana reform. The potential reclassification of cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance under federal law has been a major catalyst for the industry. Such a change would acknowledge the medical use of cannabis and ease the severe tax burdens currently imposed on cannabis companies [1].

Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:TLRY) saw its shares jump 17.8% in the afternoon session, with investors anticipating the potential reclassification of cannabis under federal law [1]. Despite the optimism, Tilray's stock remains volatile, with 52 moves greater than 5% over the last year. The stock is down 52.9% since the beginning of the year and is trading 66.2% below its 52-week high of $2.03 from July 2024 [1].

Cresco Labs Inc. (CRLBF) also saw its stock price gain 8.06% on the last trading day, rising from $0.500 to $0.540. However, the stock remains in a falling trend and is expected to fall -28.52% during the next 3 months [3].

The mixed performance in the cannabis industry highlights the sector's volatility and the impact of regulatory changes on investor sentiment. As the industry continues to navigate the complexities of federal reform, investors should remain vigilant and consider the potential risks and opportunities that arise from these developments.
