8 Reasons I’m Getting More Positive on Cannabis

I am growing much more optimistic on the cannabis complex.

I plan to super-size (VL) my MSOS holdings and I plan to expand individual equity positions (with emphasis on GTBIF and VRNO).

I am doing so because:

* I am extremely confident that rescheduling of both medical and adult use (recreational) will pass in the next few months.

* I am confident that uplistings will soon follow.

* More relaxed custodian rules allowing for institutional purchases of the group.

* The recent debt refinancings have eliminated the frightening debt maturity cliff that some feared.

* Industry fundamentals (volumes and pricing) have stabilized.

* Expectations are very low.

* Massive absolute and relative underperformance over the last five years has created a long runway for appreciation.

* Upside reward is probably more than 5x downside risk.

This looks like the beginning of the end for OpenAI and Anthropic.

The Chinese AI wave did not just cut prices.

It destroyed the entire funding logic behind the American AI bubble.

overheard from a fortune 20 company – ceo asked for $1 billion in AI generated opex savings at the beginning of this year.
