😶‍🌫️ I Can Feel It....... 😶‍🌫️

GM Everyone,

There's something in the air as we approach the last trading day before the long weekend. Yesterday, we witnessed a couple of frivolous hit pieces circulating, attempting to question the integrity of rescheduling. Not only were these pieces false, but the market rallied vigorously toward the close, with several names closing up double digits on the day. This morning, we could also be anticipating another catalyst, as the Florida Supreme Court is set to make remarks at 11 am, potentially issuing a ruling on the FL Adult Use ballot initiative. If approved, this could be viewed as a significant win for the cannabis space, but this is truly when the hard work begins.

Today’s letter can be read in 6 minutes and 26 seconds.

This ruling, due by April 1, could enable Floridians to vote on the issue. Read all about it on the TDR Website!
