Why Canadian Cannabis Companies With US Operations Can Still List On NYSE & NASDAQ

wall street sign

With cannabis still being illegal on the federal level — classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance with “no currently accepted medical use” — companies in the sector find it difficult, if not impossible, to list on major U.S. stock exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ.

Neither of these stock exchanges accepts companies that sell cannabis in the U.S., even when operating in states where adult-use consumption is now legal. That’s because federal law trumps state law. And, with the feds and the state not being in sync on this important issue, confusion and controversy pop up on a regular basis. Is medical marijuana legal in nursing homes and assisted living facilities? Can sports leagues allow athletes to medicate with cannabis? What about the V.A.?

Indiva Limited Is One Of The Best Ways To Gain Exposure To The Canadian Craft Grower Trend

cannabis plant

The improvement in adjusted EBITDA can be attributed to Indiva reporting strong revenue growth. The better sales numbers were negatively impacted by higher operating expenses and we are not surprised by this increase. We are favorable on how the business has advanced and believe the business is well positioned to capitalize on a burgeoning vertical of the Canadian cannabis industry. 

A key aspect of the Indiva story is related to the relationship it has with leading US cannabis brands like Wana Sour Gummies and Bhang Chocolate. Going forward, we expect these brands to serve as a key growth driver for the business and are favorable on how sales numbers have been ramping up.

Canadian cannabis companies getting creative with cross-border deals

Niagara falls Canada to USA bridge
U.S. companies have overshadowed their Canadian peers as more states legalize cannabis, but that may be changing.
The line that divides Canada from the U.S. is looking more and more illusory for the cannabis industry.

The 49th parallel used to be a big deal for marijuana growers. Canada’s legalization in 2018 spurred a generation of startups north of the border and investors flooded in with the hope they would follow the path of Canadian alcohol companies, which got a head start on U.S. competitors before prohibition was repealed.

Weed makes capsules, car parts, painkillers and even plastics

marijuana plant

Developed countries are falling over each other to legalise marijuana and its sister – industrial hemp. Kenya has a Bill laying eggs in Parliament over legalising the same. While marijuana and hemp are from the same cannabis family, they’re different: weed is a recreational, intoxicating substance, hemp, on the other end of the joint, is a sub-species of the cannabis plant with benefits of industrial proportions. 

Marijuana is used for recreation as it has a higher level of tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound which leaves smokers feeling like touching the sky. Hemp has lower levels of tetrahydrocannabinol and thus not ideal for altering a person’s mental state via intoxication.

Can Canopy Growth Stock Soar? The Consensus Seems Mixed

stock graph showing increases

Among the growth sectors investors have largely lost focus on of late is cannabis. Indeed, the amount of discussion around companies like Canopy Growth (TSX:WEED)(NYSE:CGC) stock has dwindled of late. With meme stocks soaring, and so many other opportunities for outlandish growth present in today’s market, this makes sense.

However, one could argue that cannabis stocks were the original meme stocks. These companies garnered a tremendous amount of attention in previous years. Indeed, as Canada legalized recreational cannabis use, the expectation was that a Biden government would follow.

However, we haven’t seen anything concrete play out yet south of the border. Accordingly, investor interest has seemingly shifted to other high-growth sectors today.
