Cannabis stocks TLRY, CRON, OGI, and SNDL log momentum gains even as Congress moves to re-criminalize some hemp-derived THC products.
Four cannabis stocks are demonstrating significant technical momentum, seemingly undeterred by new regulatory headwinds from Washington.
Momentum Improves For 4 Cannabis Stocks
The positive trend comes even as Congress passed a government funding bill that includes a controversial provision to re-criminalize many popular hemp-derived THC products, a move that could disrupt a large segment of the market.
The stocks logging the gains include Tilray Brands Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CRON), Organigram Global Inc. (NASDAQ:OGI), and SNDL Inc. (NASDAQ:SNDL).

Government’s Move To Re-Criminalize Hemp-Derived Products
The momentum contrasts sharply with a new legislative threat embedded in the funding package that ended the recent government shutdown. A last-minute provision effectively re-criminalizes intoxicating hemp products, such as Delta-8, that were legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) criticized the provision, warning it "wipes out nearly 100% of legal hemp products overnight" and would crush farmers.
The impact on the industry is complex, as it could benefit multi-state operators by eliminating “gray-market” competition.
However, it is expected to hit Canadian players like Tilray, which had viewed the hemp-derived product segment as a key pathway into the U.S. market.
The hemp provision in this appropriations package wipes out nearly 100% of legal hemp products overnight: killing jobs, crushing farmers, and overriding 23 state laws that already regulate hemp responsibly.
