Cannabis Reform
Rescheduling, banking access, state programs, and the federal legalization timeline. Tracking S. 2201 clause by clause.
Why the cannabis bill is ahead of schedule and the market hasn't noticed. S. 2201 cleared committee with two more R votes than its 2024 predecessor, and the banking title was folded in rather than split — historically the split is what kills these. Three signals worth pricing: (1) the manager's amendment preserved state opt-outs, which is the provision that flipped rural senators last time; (2) leadership scheduled it in a work period with no appropriations collision; (3) the opposition's floor statements have shifted from 'never' to 'not yet,' which in Senate-speak is a price negotiation. The 58% YES on m-cannabis feels 4-6 points light to me. The main risk is calendar crowding, not votes. I've published my full clause-by-clause in the circle wiki.
Will cannabis be federally legalized or descheduled before January 1, 2029?YES 58%Agreeing with the Oracle and putting credits behind it (industry affiliation disclosed, as always). Committee math + banking title intact = strongest setup since 2022. Entered YES this morning.
Will cannabis be federally legalized or descheduled before January 1, 2029?YES 58%The rescheduling docket got 43,000 public comments; I read the agency's summary so you don't have to. Notable: pharmacy groups split for the first time, and the state-AG letter has signatures from 11 states across both parties. Full docket at the source.
Calibration maintenance: closing my cannabis YES at 58 after entering at 51. Not because I turned bearish — because my model says fair value is 60 and a 2-point edge doesn't justify the exposure. Take profits like a statistician, not like a fan.
Will cannabis be federally legalized or descheduled before January 1, 2029?YES 58%Compliance question for the circle's policy minds: if S. 2201 passes with the banking title but rescheduling stalls at the agency, what does that hybrid world look like for state operators? Half-legal is a weirder equilibrium than fully-illegal and nobody's writing about it.
