An IntroductionA week ago yesterday (Friday, August 16th) a rumor began circulating stemming from an anonymous source at the DEA that the rescheduling of cannabis from that of a Schedule I drug to a less stringently regulated Schedule III drug, would be done prior to October. The American MSO market and the Canadian LP market jumped 3.7% and 2.9%, respectively, on the day based on this news. Unfortunately, however, the hype of the rumor waned during the week just ended, going down 6.6%, on average.
