Much of the attention centres on CBD short for cannabidiol a non-intoxicating chemical found in hemp that is often sold in oils, gummies and creams. The so-called **Trump effect** describes sudden optimism in financial and retail circles after Donald Trump’s public comments or perceived policy shifts. In cannabis, the **Trump effect** reflects expectations that a future Trump administration could soften federal rules, encouraging investors and retailers to return to a market that has stagnated. #### What the Trump Effect Means for Cannabis Retail The latest wave of enthusiasm began in September when Trump posted a video on his Truth Social platform promoting the idea that Medicare, the U.S. health programme for older citizens, might cover CBD products. That signal, even without formal policy, helped reignite bets on cannabis retail. Although the claim was not verified by any government agency, the post sent cannabis stocks soaring overnight. Major listed companies such as Tilray Brands, Aurora Cannabis and Canopy Growth all saw double-digit gains within hours. Market analysts say this surge, dubbed the **Trump effect**, reflects investors’ belief that even a symbolic endorsement could open the door to policy reform. “It’s a sentiment shift,” said Adam Smith of the Marijuana Policy Project, a Washington-based advocacy group. “When Trump hints at support for cannabis products, markets interpret it as a signal that wider Republican backing might follow.” While no formal policy changes have been announced, the **Trump effect** has reignited interest in cannabis retail. #### Hopes Pinned on Marijuana Rescheduling and CBD Reform The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is reviewing whether marijuana should be moved from Schedule I alongside heroin and LSD to Schedule III. Rescheduling would not legalize cannabis nationally but would lift severe tax and banking restrictions. For retailers, this could mean lower borrowing costs and better access to banking.   #### Retail Challenges and Consumer Demand For cannabis retailers, the **Trump effect** offers both opportunity and uncertainty. Federal recognition of CBD or marijuana reclassification could simplify compliance, while ongoing safety and labelling challenges persist. Despite these risks, consumer demand remains strong. #### Outlook for 2026 As the 2026 campaign season intensifies, the **Trump effect** continues to shape investor sentiment. Whether this **Trump effect** proves lasting or short-lived, it has already reignited debate about U.S. cannabis regulation. For now, retailers are preparing for either outcome regulatory relief that legitimizes their businesses, or continued uncertainty under America’s divided drug laws.   [by Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-effect-sparks-bets-us-091429591.html) [Cannabis Business News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-business-news) [Marijuana Business News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/marijuana-business-news) ![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=200&height=200&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) #### [Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) At 420 Intel, we cover cannabis legalization news throughout the world, offer reliable information for cannabis business owners, detail technological advances that impact the marijuana industry, cover marijuana rallies from across the globe, and everything in between. - - - [Cannabis Business News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-business-news) [![UK Could Net Up To $12.6B Annually From Cannabis Legalization](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AdobeStock_397678117.jpg?width=550&height=395&name=AdobeStock_397678117.jpg)](https://420intel.com/blog/uk-could-net-up-to-12.6b-annually-from-cannabis-legalization) - [![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=80&height=80&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) - 2 October 2024 #### [UK Could Net Up To $12.6B Annually From Cannabis Legalization](https://420intel.com/blog/uk-could-net-up-to-12.6b-annually-from-cannabis-legalization) ## Cannabis legalization in the UK could generate $4.38 to $12.6 billion in annual tax revenue,...
