Lawmakers Urge DEA To Finalize Marijuana Rescheduling Proposal

Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>) stock is trading higher on Monday, along with other shares in the cannabis sector, following a report suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris wants to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41009554/tilray-brands-launches-hemp-derived-delta-9-thc-drinks-in-key-u-s-markets">legalize marijuana</a>.
What To Know: Harris said in an <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/kamala-harris-says-we-need-to-legalize-marijuana-for-first-time-as-democratic-presidential-nominee/">interview</a> on the All the Smoke podcast that, &#8220;I just think we have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior.&#8221;
Harris also stated that, &#8220;I just feel strongly, people should not be going to jail for smoking weed. And we know historically what that has meant and who has gone to jail."
The episode of the podcast was released Monday. Its hosts are former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. Other stocks in the cannabis sector that are moving higher following Harris&#8217;s comments, include Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACB#NASDAQ">ACB</a>) and Canopy Growth Corporation (NASADQ:CGC)
How To Buy Tilray Brands Stock
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>)'s case, it is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

What's Going On With Tilray Brands Stock Monday?

WIIM

Shares of cannabis stocks are trading higher following a report suggesting that Vice President Harris wants to legalize marijuana.

<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/kamala-harris-says-we-need-to-legalize-marijuana-for-first-time-as-democratic-presidential-nominee/">https://www.marijuanamoment.net/kamala-harris-says-we-need-to-legalize-marijuana-for-first-time-as-democratic-presidential-nominee/</a>
Vice President Kamala Harris says it's time to legalize marijuana—marking the first time she has publicly discussed her position on cannabis since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.
"I just feel strongly, people should not be going to jail for smoking weed," she said in an interview with the All the Smoke podcast that was released on Monday. "And we know historically what that has meant and who has gone to jail."
"Second, I just think we have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior," Harris told hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, who are former NBA players.
"Actually this is not a new position for me," Harris, who sponsored a federal cannabis legalization bill as a U.S. senator, said. "I have felt for a long time we need to legalize it. So that's where I am on that."
Until now, Harris had not made her position on marijuana part of her current campaign for the White House.
Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/marijuana-legalization-is-an-issue-for-the-states-vp-candidate-tim-walz-says-adding-that-electing-democrats-to-congress-will-boost-cannabis-reform/">Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz said he thinks marijuana legalization is an issue that should be left to individual states</a>, adding that electing more Democrats to Congress could also make it easier to pass federal reforms like cannabis banking protections.
"I think it's an issue for the states on some of those, and that's the way the states have done it," Walz, who is Minnesota's governor and previously served in Congress, said, dodging a reporter's direct question about national cannabis legalization.
During that interview, Walz highlighted two incremental reform issues: medical marijuana access for veterans who receive healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as well as passage of federal legislation that would ease restrictions for banks that due business with marijuana companies.
If Democrats take control of both houses of Congress, he said, those matters might be easier to address.
"There's work to be done nationally around the banking issue," he said in the Spectrum News&nbsp;interview&nbsp;that was posted on September 14, "and I think that's something that if we get a working Congress who actually wants to solve some issues—when we have the Democrats in charge of the House and the Senate—then we can start to see if some of those things make sense."
Harris, for her part, has spoken in favor of federal legalization in the past, for example at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/kamala-harris-says-we-need-to-legalize-marijuana-for-first-time-since-joining-biden-ticket-signaling-potential-shift-ahead-of-election/">a closed-door roundtable event with cannabis pardon recipients</a> in March. In her previous run for president, Harris also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/harris-backed-broad-drug-decriminalization-during-2020-election-run-resurfaced-aclu-questionnaire-shows/">backed full federal decriminalization for simple drug possession</a>.
Meanwhile former President Donald Trump said recently during his campaign for a second term that he now supports federal marijuana rescheduling and marijuana banking access.
"As President, we will continue to focus on research to unlock the medical uses of marijuana to a Schedule 3 drug, and work with Congress to pass common sense laws, including safe banking for state authorized companies, and supporting states rights to pass marijuana laws, like in Florida, that work so well for their citizens," Trump posted to social media earlier this month.
<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/trump-says-florida-marijuana-legalization-ballot-measure-will-be-very-good-for-the-state-adding-that-medical-use-is-absolutely-amazing-for-patients/">Trump also recently discussed the medical benefits</a>&nbsp;of cannabis and said legalization would be "very good" for Florida, which will consider the reform at the ballot box in November's election.
The Harris–Walz campaign, however, has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/harris-campaign-accuses-trump-of-lying-about-marijuana-reform-support-but-again-declines-to-detail-her-own-platform/">accused Trump of lying about his support for marijuana reform</a>—arguing that his "blatant pandering" runs counter to his administration's record on cannabis.
Following Trump's recent announcement of support for the Florida cannabis legalization ballot measure, the Democratic campaign has been working to remind voters that while in office, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/harris-accuses-trump-of-brazen-flip-flops-on-marijuana-as-former-president-endorses-florida-legalization-measure/">Trump "took marijuana reform backwards."</a>
In a memo from a senior campaign spokesperson, the Harris-Walz campaign accused Trump of "brazen flip flops" on cannabis, saying it's one of the Republican former president's "several bewildering ‘policy proposals' that deserve real scrutiny."
The posturing by the presidential candidates comes amid an ongoing process of moving marijuana to the less-restrictive Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
The Department of Health and Humans Services (HHS) this spring recommended moving the drug to Schedule III, but the action has faced resistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-schedules-hearing-on-marijuana-rescheduling-proposal-delaying-final-rule/">scheduled a hearing on the proposal for December 2</a>—after the presidential election,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-pushing-marijuana-rescheduling-past-election-is-incredibly-disappointing-congressman-says-as-stakeholders-react-to-hearing/">raising concerns that the process will not be completed</a>&nbsp;until after a new president is inaugurated.
Meanwhile, Trump also recently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/trump-claims-harris-jailed-thousands-and-thousands-of-black-people-over-marijuana-but-her-actual-record-as-a-prosecutor-is-more-nuanced/">went after Harris over her prosecutorial record on marijuana</a>, claiming that she put "thousands and thousands of Black people in jail" for cannabis offenses—but the full record of her time in office is more nuanced.
Trump's line of attack, while misleading, was nonetheless notable in the sense that the GOP presidential nominee implied that he disagrees with criminalizing people over marijuana and is moving to leverage the idea that Harris played a role in racially disproportionate mass incarceration.
As president, Trump largely stayed true to his position that marijuana laws should be handled at the state-level, with no major crackdown on cannabis programs as some feared after then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded the Obama era federal enforcement guidance. In fact, Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-senator-reveals-what-trump-said-about-jeff-sessionss-anti-marijuana-moves/">criticized the top DOJ official and suggested the move should be reversed</a>.
While he was largely silent on the issue of legalization, he did tentatively endorse a bipartisan bill to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/trump-says-he-supports-senate-marijuana-legislation/">codify federal policy respecting states' rights to legalize</a>.
That said, on several occasions he released signing statements on spending legislation stipulating that he&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/trump-issues-signing-statement-on-medical-marijuana-provision-of-funding-bill/">reserved the right to ignore a long-standing rider</a>&nbsp;that prohibits the Justice Department from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/trump-says-he-can-ignore-medical-marijuana-protections-passed-by-congress/">using its funds to interfere with state-legal medical marijuana programs</a>.
Before President Joe Biden bowed out of the race, his campaign made much of the president's mass cannabis pardons and rescheduling push,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/biden-smokes-trump-on-marijuana-policy-campaign-says-after-presidents-rescheduling-announcement/">drawing a contrast with the Trump administration's record</a>. The Harris campaign so far has not spoken to that particular issue, and the nominee has yet to publicly discuss marijuana policy issues since her own campaign launched.

Tilray Brands Launches Hemp-Derived Delta-9 THC Drinks In Key U.S. Markets

<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-calls-for-massive-increases-in-psilocybin-ibogaine-and-thc-manufacturing-this-year-to-meet-research-demands/">https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-calls-for-massive-increases-in-psilocybin-ibogaine-and-thc-manufacturing-this-year-to-meet-research-demands/</a>
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is proposing a dramatic increase in its 2023 production quotas for marijuana compounds and psychedelics like psilocybin and ibogaine to "support research and clinical trials" into the substances.
DEA wants to nearly double the amount of psilocybin, psilocyn and delta-9 THC that's manufactured compared to initial levels set for this year, while quintupling how much ibogaine is produced. It also wants 23 times as much of "other tetrahydrocannabinol," raising the quota from 15,000 grams to 350,000 grams for 2023.
The agency had already increased its initial quota for various controlled substances, including cannabis and psychedelics, late last year when it finalized the numbers. But now, in a notice published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, DEA said that more significant changes are warranted.
For psilocybin, the proposed new quota is 15,000 grams, rather than 8,000 grams as previously set for 2023. DEA also wants 24,000 grams of the psychedelic compound psilocyn, double its prior 12,000-gram quota.
The now-increased initial 2023 levels for both of the "magic mushroom" components already represented significant increases from those set for prior years, demonstrating the ongoing heightened level of interest in researching psychedelics over time.
DEA is also proposing to manufacture 150 grams of ibogaine—five times the amount it called for in December 2022.
While the agency didn't change its 6.7 million-gram quota for marijuana for the year, it is now calling for the manufacturing of 628,460 grams of delta-9 THC, rather than 384,460 grams—a 63 percent increase.
For all other tetrahydrocannabinol, DEA wants 350,000 grams, a notable increase from its prior 15,000-gram quota—a massive 2,233 percent increase.
The proposed increases, which are subject to a 30-day public comment period starting on Tuesday, comes in the context of an ongoing administrative review into the scheduling status of cannabis that DEA is actively carrying after receiving a recommendation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/top-federal-health-agency-releases-highly-redacted-marijuana-scheduling-recommendation-letter-to-dea/">move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA)</a>.
It also comes as experts await a <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/after-latest-clinical-trial-mdma-therapy-for-ptsd-is-on-track-for-fda-consideration-next-year/">potential federal approval for certain psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA</a> as therapeutics for the treatment of serious mental health conditions.
The updated quotas reflect "the estimated medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the U.S., for lawful export requirements, and for the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks," DEA <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2023-23931/proposed-adjustments-to-the-aggregate-production-quotas-for-schedule-i-and-ii-controlled-substances">said</a> in its new quota increase notice.
"DEA is proposing increases to the [aggregate production quotas] for the following schedule I substances: all other tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, ibogaine, psilocybin, and psilocyn," it said. "These proposed increases are to support research and clinical trials by DEA-registered schedule I researchers. These proposed increases demonstrate DEA's support for research with schedule I controlled substances."
 DEA's prior "final" quotas that were published late last year already <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-proposes-dramatic-increases-in-marijuana-and-psychedelics-production-in-2023-for-research/">contained increases compared to its initial proposal</a>, with <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-proposes-even-higher-2023-production-quotas-for-psychedelics-like-mdma-and-psilocyn/">the agency calling for the manufacturing of more psychedelic compounds</a> such as MDMA, psilocyn and 5-MeO-DMT.
This year's 6.7 million-gram quota for marijuana is more than double DEA's final <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-again-boosts-2022-production-goals-for-psychedelics-like-psilocybin-mdma-and-dmt/">cannabis quota for 2022, which was 3.2 million grams.</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-boosts-psilocybin-mdma-and-dmt-production-levels-again-in-final-quotas-for-2021/">It was 2 million grams for 2021</a>.
Growing millions of grams of cannabis may be easier since&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-finally-breaks-federal-marijuana-grower-monopoly-with-two-new-companies-harvesting-cannabis-approved-by-agency/">DEA finally authorized additional manufacturers</a>&nbsp;at the beginning of the year. Those approved cultivators are now able to apply for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/top-federal-drug-agency-seeking-marijuana-grower-able-to-cultivate-and-analyze-4-million-grams-of-cannabis/">a contract to be federal marijuana suppliers</a>&nbsp;for study purposes under the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
The agency has touted its Schedule I drug production quotas as evidence that is supports rigorous research into the substances, but it's faced criticism from advocates and scientists over actions that are viewed as antithetical to promoting studies.
Following pushback, DEA recently retreated on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-abandons-proposal-to-ban-two-more-psychedelics-after-being-challenged-by-scientists/">a proposed ban on psychedelic compounds</a>&nbsp;that scientists say have research value.
That marked another win for scientific community, coming just one month after DEA&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-cancels-proposed-ban-of-five-psychedelics-giving-scientists-more-time-to-research-therapeutic-benefits/">abandoned separate plans to place five tryptamine psychedelics in Schedule I</a>.
Meanwhile, a federal appeals court recently ruled against DEA in a <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/federal-appeals-court-rules-against-dea-in-psilocybin-rescheduling-lawsuit-brought-by-doctor-who-wants-to-give-psychedelic-to-cancer-patients/">lawsuit over a Washington State doctor's petition to reschedule psilocybin</a>. The court said DEA failed to explain its reasoning when it denied the petition, and it ordered the agency to provide a more complete justification.
With respect to the agency's marijuana scheduling review, a coalition of 31 bipartisan House lawmakers has sent a letter to DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, urging her to <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/31-bipartisan-house-lawmakers-push-dea-to-consider-merits-of-marijuana-legalization-as-it-completes-scheduling-review/">take into account congressional and state marijuana legalization efforts</a> as it completes that assessment. They also criticized the limitations of simple rescheduling as they push for complete a complete removal of marijuana from the CSA.
The letter serves as a counterbalance to other recent messages DEA has received from congressional opponents of reform and former DEA and White House drug czars who&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/marijuana-rescheduling-would-supersize-the-industry-former-dea-heads-and-white-house-drug-czars-warn-biden-administration/">argue that even moving marijuana to Schedule III would go too far</a>.
A coalition of 14 Republican congressional lawmakers recently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/14-gop-congressional-lawmakers-tell-dea-to-keep-marijuana-in-schedule-i-and-reject-top-health-agencys-recommendation/">urged DEA to "reject" the top federal health agency's recommendation to reschedule marijuana</a>&nbsp;and instead keep it in the most restrictive category under the CSA.
Meanwhile, two GOP senators, including the lead Republican sponsor of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/watch-live-a-u-s-senate-committee-is-voting-on-a-marijuana-banking-bill/">a marijuana banking bill that cleared a key committee last month</a>, recently filed new legislation to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-senators-file-bill-to-block-biden-marijuana-rescheduling-effort-without-congressional-approval/">prevent federal agencies from rescheduling cannabis&nbsp;without tacit approval from Congress</a>.

Cannabis Giant Tilray Expands Medical Marijuana Portfolio With Redecan Launch In Australia

Tilray Medical Announced The Launch Of Redecan EU-GMP Certified Medical Cannabis Products In Australia

Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>) agreed to acquire a promissory note from Ontario-based Double Diamond Holdings Ltd (DDH) for $23.8 million, according to a regulatory filing.

In return, Tilray issued 13,217,588 shares of its common stock at $0.0001 per share to DDH.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="970" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17095856/ccc-oct-24-banner__1_-1-10.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-551931" /></a></figure>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tilray's Craft Beer Business</h3>
The news comes on the heels of Tilray's announcement that it has completed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40365052/billion-dollar-cannabis-firm-buys-a-brewery-four-actually-in-canadas-backyard">previously announced</a> acquisition of Atwater Brewery, from Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>). Atwater Brewery was one of four craft breweries Tillray previously said it would acquire. The medical cannabis giant acquired Hop Valley Brewing Company, Terrapin Beer Co., and Revolver Brewing, in early September.
The acquisition bolstered Tilray's leadership position in the U.S. craft beer market as the 5th largest craft brewer in the country and the top craft brewer in the Pacific Northwest and Georgia. Tilray is based in Canada.
Known for brands like SweetWater Brewing and Montauk Brewing Company, Tilray earlier said it expects a 30% growth in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/09/34579077/tilrays-beer-business-expands-nationally-starting-in-this-state">beer business from this acquisition.</a>
Irwin D. Simon, the company's chairman and CEO, praised the move. &#8220;This strategic acquisition creates additional growth opportunities for our global beverage business, which reinforces our commitment to enhancing shareholder value,&#8221; he said.
Price Action: Tilray&#8217;s shares traded 1.11%% higher at $1.8199 per share at the time of writing on Tuesday morning.

Marijuana Stock Movers For September 16, 2024

The Czech Republic could be missing out on hundreds of millions of euros annually as the governing coalition remains persistent in avoiding establishing a regulated marijuana market. That's according to the findings of a comprehensive study examining the possible costs and benefits of various cannabis reform models being proposed nationwide.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Happened</h3>
The researchers from the Faculty of Business Economics at the University of Prague concluded that a &#8220;comprehensive model,&#8221; incorporating self-cultivation, cannabis clubs and a fully commercial market, could result in "total net social benefits of CZK 5.5 billion (218 million euros; $242 million) per year," <a href="https://businessofcannabis.com/new-study-backs-full-cannabis-legalisation-in-czech-republic-projecting-czk-5-5bn-in-social-benefits-annually/">reported</a> Business of Cannabis.
The study was published on Thursday, Sept. 12, by the University of Prague. It analyzed each of the cannabis reform models proposed by former National Drug Coordinator Jindřich Vobořil.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="970" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/16093721/ccc-oct-24-banner__1_-22.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-549705" /></a></figure>
Vobořil left his position this summer, but he continued taking part in the development of addiction policies in the country as an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39915786/leaked-document-reveals-czechias-plans-for-cannabis-legalization">independent expert.</a> He previously completed two separate versions of the measure to legalize cannabis.
Vobořil's legislation, which includes commercial sales, seeks to set up a cannabis market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39773667/leaked-documents-czech-republic-plans-to-set-up-legal-recreational-cannabis-market">much like that in Canada and certain US states.</a> The other measure mimics Germany's current cannabis framework, with legal home cultivation and cannabis social clubs.

</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Which Legalization Model Is Most Economically Advantageous?</h3>
That said, the study suggested that legalizing only self-cultivation would yield a net social benefit of CZK 1.2 billion annually and CZK 16.5 billion over the first 11 years. Moreover, putting cannabis clubs into the equation would result in CZK 1.5 billion per year and CZK 20.8 billion over 11 years in social benefits.
However, the highest returns would come from the comprehensive model, featuring a regulated market alongside self-cultivation and clubs, which is projected to deliver CZK 5.5 billion per year and CZK 77.2 billion over 11 years in social benefits.
"The conclusions are very simple,&#8221; Patrik Sieber, one of the study's authors, said. &#8220;All evaluated options appear to be socially and financially more beneficial for public budgets than maintaining the status quo.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">These Cannabis Operators Could Benefit From Policy Change</h3>
In the meantime, cannabis operators have been strengthening their market presence in the European country.
Curaleaf International, part of Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>), already present in the European market, opted to expand in the Czech Republic in March, via a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/03/37706111/weed-giants-tilray-and-curaleaf-ramp-up-presence-in-europe-heres-why">supply agreement with Astrasana Pharma s.r.o.</a> Under that deal, Curaleaf International's EU-GMP flower was made available to patients via Pilulka Pharmacy, a healthcare provider in the region.

Billion-Dollar Marijuana Giant Buys Another Brewery From Molson Coors, Expands Great Lakes Footprint

Tilray Brands's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NYSE">TLRY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.2% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 101.55 million shares sold short, which is 12.1% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.19 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Tilray Brands Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1726166716_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Tilray Brands has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Tilray Brands's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Tilray Brands's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 19.42%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Last Call For SNDL's Liquor President: Stock On The Rocks Amid Leadership Changes

The latest equity research report from Pablo Zuanic of Zuanic &amp; Associates highlights key trends in Canada's cannabis market, noting a deceleration in recreational sales growth.
Data from StatCan reveals that sales for 2Q24 were down 4% year-over-year (YoY), contributing to a 1.3% decline year-to-date (YTD) compared to 14% growth in 1H23. In contrast, Hifyre data shows a 6% YTD growth through August.
If annualized, this growth would project a total<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/canada-cannabis"> recreational market</a> size of C$5.47 billion for calendar year 2024, translating to US$102 per capita.
