The Question: How to Play Cannabis Stocks Right Now? | TTB Powered by Dutchie

The latest episode of the TDR Trade to Black podcast presented by Dutchie asks the question every investor is focused on right now: how should you play cannabis stocks? With federal rescheduling potentially on the horizon and cannabis equities moving back into the spotlight, this episode delivers clear answers on the biggest catalysts and what they mean for both traders and long-term investors.

Hosts Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell are joined by Tim Seymour from CNBC’s Fast Money, who explains why he called rescheduling a “game-changer.” Tim lays out how to position before and after a potential announcement, the role retail day traders could play when volumes spike, and which kinds of institutions might finally step in once regulatory barriers begin to ease. He also breaks down how he manages liquidity inside the actively managed CNBS ETF and what investors should be watching in the days ahead.

Plus, Margaret Brodie, CEO of Rubicon Organics (TSXV: ROMJ), provides a breakdown of her company’s latest earnings release. She outlines margin performance, product strategy, and how Rubicon is positioning itself for growth in a competitive Canadian market.

Finally, Michael Bronstein, President of the American Trade Association for Cannabis, highlights the key storylines in Pennsylvania’s adult-use push and the Texas State Senate’s debate on the recently passed HELP Act (Hemp Expansion & Legalization Proposal). Bronstein also points to the next moves likely to come out of the state senate that investors and industry watchers need to be paying close attention to.

    @27:30 when there was only the illegal market, the "smell" test was basically the number 1 quality control we had. that, and the "eyeball" test (how does it look). the thing you notice is that weed can smell very different and still be good, but freshness is universal. it can look very different, but you can detect problems visually that are at least LIKELY to make it lower quality. while the industry is advancing past the need for these things with more advanced and trusted scientific metrics, it’s still important. it’s a very human experience. and for old heads, it’s their cannabis "childhood" you’re replicating here.

    some very good points by margaret
