INVESTORS HIGH ON CANNABIS, AGAIN

A reminder of how skittish cannabis investors can be, from Poseidon Asset Management‘s Emily Paxhia:

  • Banking and other federal regulation of cannabis could result as local governments around the United States are “hemorrhaging cash.”
  • Despite the optimism earned through pot’s still-new essential status, pandemic and further economic downturn restrain Paxhia’s optimism while she “would now add social unrest and maybe even a constitutional crisis as potential risk factors.”
