Cannabis stocks including Tilray (TLRY.O), Curaleaf (CURA.TO), and the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (YOLO.P), rallied on Thursday after the U.S. Department of Justice unveiled a historic proposal to ease restrictions on marijuana.
Under the proposal, cannabis would be reclassified from a so-called Schedule I drug, which are considered highly additive with no medical benefits, to a Schedule III, signifying it has moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence.
