Cannabis stocks fall as Florida marijuana legalization fails

November 6, 2024

A ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana failed in the state of Florida, driving a big blow to the cannabis industry.  Shares of Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC) are down 20%, while Tilray Brands (TLRY) drop by over 10% at the time of this video’s posting.
