Freak Show In DC: How Drama Distracts The Nation From Key Cannabis Reforms
Portfolio Pulse from Todd Harrison
A landmark cannabis bill is headed to the Senate floor, which could be a game-changer for the U.S. cannabis industry. The bill aims to eliminate the need for legal cannabis businesses to operate in cash, reducing the risk of robberies, money laundering, and organized crime. The bill's passage could also lead to a reduction in the 75% effective tax rate that U.S. cannabis operators currently face. The article also discusses the performance of the NYSE-listed ETF MSOS and the stocks of Village Farms (NASDAQ:VFF) and Verano (OTC:VRNOF).
