RBC Capital Maintains Underperform on Easterly Government Props, Lowers Price Target to $22

<p>From Texas&#8217; escalating war on hemp to EU-certified inhalers and Argentina&#8217;s full-scale overhaul of its medical cannabis program, this week offered no shortage of headlines that could shape the future of the cannabis industry across borders and sectors.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s dig in. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Policy &amp; Legal</h3>
<p><strong>Texas House Passes Hemp Ban, Threatens 50,000 Jobs</strong></p>
<p>In a late-night vote Wednesday, the Texas House passed SB 3, banning hemp-derived THC products across the state. Championed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, the measure criminalizes products containing any THC or THCA, despite opposition from 50% of voters, per a Texas Politics Project poll. The state's hemp industry, supporting 53,000 jobs and $268 million in tax revenue, now braces for litigation. Advocates are urging a veto.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, HB 46, aimed at expanding Texas' Compassionate Use Program, remains pending in the Senate. It proposes adding qualifying conditions like chronic pain, expanding licensing, and permitting more administration methods—but retains the 1% THC cap and bans flower.</p>
<p><strong>DEA Report Criticizes Legal States, Admits Prohibition Fuels Illicit Trade</strong></p>
<p>In its 2025 National Drug Threat Assessment, the DEA accused cartels of exploiting state-legal cannabis programs. However, the report also acknowledged that demand for illicit cannabis is driven largely by prohibition states—ironically making the case for federal reform.</p>
<p>DEA nominee Terrance Cole, in confirmation hearings, refused to take a position on rescheduling cannabis but called review of the issue a "first priority."</p>

<p><strong>Argentina Overhauls REPROCANN Framework</strong></p>
<p>The Ministry of Health issued Resolution 1780/2025, revamping Argentina's cannabis cultivation registry. Key changes include new rules for nonprofit growers, research institutions, and third-party cultivators, plus mandatory training and digital registration for prescribing doctors. While patients can retain current registrations for up to 3 years, others face stricter 1-year renewals and enhanced oversight.</p>

The move unlocks $40 million in cash and refocuses the company's strategy on international cannabis.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Global Markets</h3>
<p><strong>Canada: Industry Pushes for Excise Tax Reform</strong></p>
<p>Deloitte's 2025 report confirmed that Canada's cannabis excise tax model is crushing legal operators. The Cannabis Council of Canada renewed calls to replace the $1/gram floor with a 10% ad valorem tax, noting that current rules are outdated and misaligned with market prices.</p>
<p><strong>GrowerIQ to Represent Canada on Thailand Trade Mission</strong></p>
<p>Toronto-based GrowerIQ was selected by Global Affairs Canada to join a trade mission to Thailand, becoming the only cannabis company in the delegation. Thailand's market, legal since 2022, is expected to grow at a 33% CAGR over five years.</p>

This Week In Cannabis: Maryland Opens Lounges, DEA Wavers, Retail Trends Shift And More

<p>President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>'s pick to run the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/drug-enforcement-administration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Drug Enforcement Administration</a> (DEA) is apparently considering a proposal to federally reschedule cannabis. The DEA administrator nominee, <strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/02/43667362/trump-appoints-anti-cannabis-just-say-no-drug-warrior-as-dea-chief">Terrance Cole</a></strong>, says it will be "one of my first priorities" if he's confirmed.</p>
<p>"If confirmed, it'll be one of my first priorities when I arrive at DEA to see where we are in the administrative process," Cole told Sen. <strong>Alex Padilla</strong> (D-CA) during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday. "I'm not familiar exactly where we are, but I know the process has been delayed numerous times—and it's time to move forward." Marijuana Moment first <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/trumps-pick-to-lead-dea-says-marijuana-rescheduling-review-will-be-one-of-my-first-priorities-in-the-job/">reported</a> this story.</p>
<p>Cole, however, declined on several occasions to commit to supporting the proposed rule to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which of course is at the core of the reform process.</p>
<p>When pressed on the issue of removing marijuana from its onerous classification as a dangerous drug and moving it to Schedule III, Cole said he needed more time to better understand the situation. "I need to understand more where [agencies] are and look at the science behind it and listen to the experts and really understand where they are in the process."</p>
<p>At the moment, cannabis remains on the <a href="https://www.dea.gov/drug-information/drug-scheduling">DEA's list of Schedule I drugs</a>, along with heroin, LSD and meth and is defined by the agency as a drug "with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse."</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38880719/biden-announces-monumental-marijuana-rescheduling-doj-to-take-next-steps" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">marijuana rescheduling process</a> was initiated during the Biden administration but never got off the ground. As such, it remains federally illegal until such time the DEA makes a significant move.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, due to that classification, cannabis companies are subject to various limitations, including an Internal Revenue Code known as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/irs-code-280e" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Section 280E, </a>which disallows all normal business deductions or credits. This applies even to cannabis companies in the 39 U.S. states where marijuana sales are legal.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that the total U.S. economic impact of regulated marijuana sales&nbsp;<a href="https://insights.mjbizdaily.com/factbook-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">could top $123.6 billion in 2025</a>, about 9% more than last year, according to a newly released MJBiz Factbook <a href="https://mjbizdaily.com/marijuana-industry-will-add-123-billion-to-us-economy-in-2025/">update</a>.</p>

<p>The most oversold stocks in the real estate sector presents an opportunity to buy into undervalued companies.</p>
<p>The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Real Estate Stocks With Over 9% Dividend Yields

<p>The <strong>U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/drug-enforcement-administration">Drug Enforcement Administration</a> (DEA) </strong>is trying to be cool again. And by "cool," we mean desperately attempting to curb the inevitable: weed is mainstream, legal in much of the U.S. and enjoying a global glow-up. But instead of rolling with the times, the DEA has teamed up with anti-cannabis nonprofit <strong>Johnny's Ambassadors</strong> to recruit young people for a TikTok—sorry, Instagram—campaign against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/thc">THC</a>. As <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-promotes-anti-420-day-contest-for-young-people-to-flood-instagram-with-marijuana-warnings/">reported</a> by Marijuana Moment&#8217;s <strong>Kyle Jaeger</strong>, the plan is to pay kids to make videos bashing weed because nothing says authenticity like a government-funded hashtag campaign.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Paying Teens To Say No To Weed</h3>
<p>For its latest "Just Say No" remix, the DEA is <a href="https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDOJDEAJTT/bulletins/3d86b96">dangling cash</a> in front of students to get them to post anti-THC videos ahead of April 20—aka 4/20, aka Christmas for stoners. The going rate? A whopping $25 for a solo rant, $35 for a group effort and a mighty $50 for a professionally shot skit (with adult supervision, of course). The goal? To "flood" Instagram with anti-cannabis content, telling young people that weed is bad.</p>
<p><strong>Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/03/44476373/are-marijuana-taxes-too-high-they-already-beat-alcohol-and-tobacco-and-theyre-about-to-get-worse">Are Marijuana Taxes Too High? They Already Beat Alcohol And Tobacco And They&#8217;re About To Get Worse</a></strong></p>
<p>Johnny's Ambassadors, the group leading this crusade, wants videos explaining how THC supposedly tanks athletic performance, busting "myths" about cannabis, or sharing sob stories about how pot ruined someone's life. But let's be clear: no cussing, no laughing and absolutely no pretending to smoke not even as a joke.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Timing Is…Suspicious</h3>
<p>Now, let's talk about why this is weird. The DEA is in the middle of potentially rescheduling cannabis, a move that would mark the biggest federal shift on marijuana in decades. So why, in the middle of this seismic policy moment, is the agency pushing what feels like a D.A.R.E. campaign with better lighting?</p>
<p>Johnny's Ambassadors has a deeply personal backstory. The group was founded by parents of a teenager who died by suicide after consuming high-potency cannabis concentrates. Their grief is real, but their messaging leans hard into old-school fear tactics, avoiding the kind of harm reduction strategies that have proven effective elsewhere.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The DEA's Cringe-Worthy Track Record</h3>
<p>This isn't even the DEA's first time fumbling the "relatable youth messaging" thing. In 2023, the agency suggested teens could get a "natural high" by becoming famous on Instagram or staring at puppies at a pet store. That really happened. And who could forget the infamous <a href="https://elplanteo.com/emojis-drogas-vender-dea/">guide on decoding "drug emojis,"</a> which had all the accuracy of a Boomer trying to interpret Gen Z slang?</p>
<p>Now, we've got the DEA awkwardly cosigning a campaign that's paying kids to be anti-weed influencers—while the rest of the country moves on, puffing away legally.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Can The DEA Stop The Inevitable?</strong></h3>
<p>The cannabis industry isn't slowing down. The DEA can fund as many Instagram campaigns as it wants, but the reality is clear: legal weed is a juggernaut, markets are expanding and public opinion is overwhelmingly pro-cannabis. The real question is, will this campaign actually get traction? Or will it be another entry in the DEA's Greatest Hits of Embarrassing Youth Outreach?</p>
<p>Either way, mark your calendars: April 20 is coming, and no Instagram video will stop the smoke from rolling in.</p>
