Cannabis stocks were on the rise on Thursday as news out of the US Senate had investors excited. While full federal legalization is still not in the cards, it was revealed that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has been holding some bipartisan discussions to push some incremental reform to the industry. Federal legalization simply does not have the number of votes needed to pass through the Senate, even though many Senators acknowledge that it is what the US citizens are demanding. Not surprisingly, cannabis stocks were on the rise led by Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) which recorded a 9.57% gain for the day.
