ReutersDec 17, 2025 1:57 PM

U.S. listed shares of cannabis companies rise after a CNN report says U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on easing restrictions on the Schedule I narcotic and deem it a less dangerous drug on Thursday

Under current federal law, marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance, which are substances with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse, alongside LSD and heroin, despite state-level medical legalization in places like California

A reclassification could ease criminal penalties and reshape the pot industry by lowering tax burdens and making it easier for firms to secure funding

Shares of Cronos Group >, >, and Aurora Cannabis ACB.TO, ACB.Orise 3% and 2% premarket

Tilray Brands >, TLRY.O up 4.4%, and Canopy Growth <WEED.TO>, jumps 8% premarket
