Just announced
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/10/06/politics/marijuana-decriminalization-white-house-joe-biden/index.html
Quote:
President Joe Biden is taking his first major steps toward decriminalizing marijuana, fulfilling a campaign pledge to erase prior federal possession convictions and beginning the process of loosening federal classification of the drug.
Biden on Thursday will pardon all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, a move that senior administration officials said would affect thousands of Americans.

I think I missed the opportunity, but weed stocks just shot up.
A couple years ago I bought Canopy Company (Canadian weed company). It had been as high as $50, and was down to $15, but the analysts liked it because they were sitting on a bunch of cash. So I bought about 2K. It went sideways for 6 months, and then jumped when Biden got elected. Then when those two Dems won that special Senate election in Georgia, it went up again. I figured that would be the last boost for a while and got out with a 1K gain.

Pretty good run on that one though. Especially if you turn it over into something else that gains. I managed to make a few grand on the GME wave before I bailed. Now it's like $25, I bought in at $150 and sold at over $200. Of course I lost my ass on Roblox, I finally bought in at $62 which I thought was a good price but it's been sitting in the mid to high $30's. I am just going to ride that one out.
I think weed stocks are going to tank pretty heavy once legalization is more widespread. I just don't see them long term being able to sell at high profit margins. When I visited Chicago we took Amtrak. No security, no police, we had a room so we didn't have to check bags. We walked from Union Station to the hotel. The drive from our station to home is like 3 miles. So we went to Sunnyside in River North and bought as much as we could to bring back. Anyways, it was amazing because everything was half the price that is was here in PA, and my wife uses Sunnyside here too. I don't know if increased access due to being recreational makes up for the half priced product, but in PA they hand out medical cards like they are candy anyways. I just don't see theses stocks hanging on as prices are forced to fall.

Its been legal in MI for quite sometime, they also let every household grow up to 12 plants. Whomever drafted the legislation had no idea just how much weed that can be. I don't smoke it but definetly grow it as a cash crop of sorts, this year's harvest will be close to 14 pounds, dry, I am not an expert grower by any stretch.
They also put no limits on the licenses to grow at a higher scale and licenses for businesses. What the above and this has done......there is to much weed in MI. Last year, an ounce of premo would set you back $300. Now it's under $100. There is so much weed in MI, the prices have fallen in dramatic proportion.

Heh, I was up there a few months back for a conference. Definitely nice to walk into a dispensary and pay less than I pay my weed guy back home.
Perhaps I could help ya out with some of that dry weight?

Funny how Brandon starts seeing the inherent racism of the drug war as soon as he becomes “dark.” Curious.

What do they qualify as 'possession'? What about those who got arrested under suspicion of distribution for having large quantities?

The funniest thing about this is there is no one in federal jail for simple possession, possession is almost exclusively charged at the state level. Having your federal possession charges dropped off your record is great but the distribution and trafficking you where originally busted for will still be there.
Possession is like the seat belt ticket of the drug war, it's an add on charge.

Doesn't matter what they were arrested for. All that matters is the conviction.

Purely optics. How many people get charged FEDERALLY for simple possession? They are pled down from more serious charges and still don’t amount to anything. Let me know when they do something more than an optics play before the midterms lmao
