AURORA CANNABIS CORRECTS INACCURATE STATEMENTS MADE IN SUPPORT OF CURALEAF HOLDINGS' HOSTILE BID "Curaleaf's timing and public comments appear to be a transparent attempt to pressure Aurora shareholders into making a short-term decision for the benefit of Curaleaf shareholders," said Miguel Martin, Executive Chairman and CEO of Aurora. "Curaleaf's interest underscores the value that Aurora has created. They are trying to acquire our world-class EU-GMP global infrastructure at the lowest possible price, depriving our shareholders of the long-term value our strategy is built to deliver." |

Cannabis Consolidation Wave Accelerates, ETF Allocation Value Stands Out
The cannabis industry is entering a clear phase of consolidation after an early period of capital frenzy and a sharp retreat in share prices. Weaker players are exiting, while stronger companies are expanding through acquisitions. With individual stock volatility rising and deal outcomes uncertain, building exposure through cannabis-themed ETFs is becoming an increasingly attractive way to position for the sector. Investor enthusiasm was extremely high when cannabis stocks first began trading. A gold rush mentality led to a flood of new listings. Although the overall industry has continued to grow, most individual companies have failed to live up to lofty early expectations. Cannabis shares now trade well below their early highs, and a shakeout is underway. Acquisitions have become a central theme. |

Illinois proposes outdoor cannabis cultivation rules, excluding home growers llinois cannabis regulators propose allowing licensed cannabis companies to cultivate cannabis outdoors for the first time, a shift that reverses the state Department of Agriculture's previous interpretation that the law's requirement for an "enclosed, locked" facility prohibited outdoor growing. The department proposes that licensed growers and craft growers may cultivate outside next to existing facilities, provided the growing area is enclosed by a continuous chain-link fence at least 8 feet high, topped with razor wire or security wire, and screened from public view. Outdoor-grown cannabis would only be permitted for extraction purposes, producing concentrates for edibles, vapes and oils, not flower for smoking. |

Cato Scholar Statement: Don’t Let Cannabis Data Spark a Moral Panic The reported rise in problematic cannabis use deserves attention, but it shouldn’t become the basis for a new moral panic. After alcohol prohibition ended, drinking increased for decades before declining as Americans developed knowledge and social norms around responsible use. Cannabis may be undergoing a similar adjustment. Indeed, a five-year Canadian study found that cannabis misuse declined after legalization, with frequent pre-legalization users reducing both their use and misuse. We should educate people about cannabis’s risks, not assume that today’s trends represent the long-run effects of legalization—or that prohibition is the answer. |

Too Many People On Probation And Parole Still Can’t Use Medical Marijuana, Even Under Federal Rescheduling And State Legalization Medical marijuana is legal in 47 states, the District of Columbia and three U.S. territories. Yet for millions of Americans on probation or parole suffering from qualifying conditions like chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety, that legalization is worth very little in practice. In many states, people on probation and parole are forbidden to use medical marijuana, even when legally recommended by a physician. It’s an oversight that state lawmakers need to address. |

Marijuana while pregnant? A shocking number of Ohioans think it is OK With cannabis now legal in Ohio, ensuring people have accurate information about its impacts is more important than ever. Access is no longer the central issue. Education is. As cannabis becomes more widely used and socially accepted, Ohioans deserve clear, science-based information that helps them make informed decisions and understand the risks that can accompany its use. A May polling suggests that need is becoming more urgent, as cannabis use rises while perceptions of risk continue to decline, especially around youth use and use during pregnancy. Forty-one percent of Ohioans report currently using cannabis, up from 35% in 2024. More than two-thirds say cannabis has become more socially acceptable since legalization. |

Curaleaf's Hostile Takeover Bid for Aurora Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg for Cannabis Consolidation. These 2 Stocks Could Be the Biggest Winners. Investors were very enthusiastic when cannabis stocks first started trading. It was, basically, a new industry, and the outlook for legal cannabis sales was strong. But, as is typical on Wall Street, a gold rush mentality took hold, and the market was flooded with marijuana stocks. While the cannabis sector has grown, individual company performance hasn't lived up to investors' lofty expectations. |

Canadian Hemp Sector Pivots Back to Grain as Flower and Fibre Production Decline
The amount of land being cultivated for hemp in Canada remained relatively stable in 2025, while farmers continued to move away from flower and back to growing it for its seed/grain.

The majority of those crops were for grain (84%), while flower accounted for just 3% and fibre for 6%. Cultivation for seed for planting was another 7%. |

‘Marijuana Can No Longer Remain in Schedule I’: Inside the Government’s Final Case for Rescheduling Weed—and the Witnesses It Tore Apart The federal government’s closing argument for moving marijuana to Schedule III is in, and its lawyers did not hedge. “Marijuana can no longer remain in Schedule I,” the DEA’s attorneys wrote in a post-hearing brief filed August 17 with Chief Administrative Law Judge Derek C. Julius, asking the judge to “expeditiously recommend” the transfer. It is the government’s last word before Julius drafts the recommendation that will frame DEA Administrator Terrance “Terry” Cole‘s final decision. And it lands where this proceeding was always going to land: not on whether cannabis has medicinal value, but on which legal test gets to answer that question, and on whose testimony the judge should be allowed to believe. |

Cannabis Store in BC Penalized for Sale to Minor
A cannabis store in BC had to pay a $7,000 fine after an employee failed to check the ID of a 17-year-old minor agent. Trees Cannabis in Victoria, BC received the monetary penalty after it was found to have broken provincial rules by selling cannabis to a minor. While the retailer didn’t dispute the claim, it argued its own internal policies and training materials show sufficient training and systems. The judge ultimately disagreed, saying that there was little evidence that the employee had been properly trained, or that the training program and materials were sufficient. The age of access for cannabis products in British Columbia is 19. |

The case for cannabis AI guardrails – and how to create an AI tool that works
Cannabis-specific artificial intelligence tools are here and multiplying fast. Software vendors are pitching licensed operators on products that promise to optimize cultivation rooms, flag compliance errors in ad creative, audit inventory, replace budtenders with AI-powered kiosks and deliver instant business insights through conversational analytics. But according to Nick Afonsky, founder and CEO of Washington, DC-based IT consulting firm Palomar Group, the gap between what the tools promise and what they reliably deliver is wide. |

Vermont's independent cannabis cultivators push for direct-to-consumer sales rights Small-scale cannabis cultivators in Vermont say the state's legal market structure is forcing them out of business, with many considering abandoning their licenses as wholesale prices fall and retail shelves fill with dispensary-grown product. Sara Farnsworth, who founded Full Circle Farms in Underhill in 2021 with her own money and runs it alongside multiple other jobs, describes the situation in stark terms. "I'm getting crushed by this industry," Farnsworth says. "It is crushing my soul. It is financially not viable." |

What Can US States Learn From Each Other About Cannabis Legalization?
More than a decade after Colorado and Washington became the first US states to legalize adult-use cannabis, the country has accumulated something it didn’t have when that experiment began: evidence. With states taking dramatically different approaches to taxation, licensing, testing, social equity and enforcement, policymakers can now look beyond predictions and examine what has actually worked. But identifying the state that is “doing legalization right” isn’t as straightforward as pointing to the largest market or the strongest sales numbers. |

Canadian cross-border update: The cannabis restructuring Overview Canada and the US share a long history of cooperation when it comes to cross-border restructuring. For decades, the legislation of both countries has provided a framework for recognition and the courts in each jurisdiction have shown great deference and reciprocity in facilitating cross-border filings. The reciprocity shown has been at times nuanced, where the local laws of the secondary jurisdiction are more restrictive than in the primary jurisdiction. |

Sunset Lake Cannabis Goes Green by Farming Only Outdoors

Barcelona’s Plan Druida Is Turning Up the Pressure on Cannabis Clubs Barcelona’s Plan Druida expands police presence and surveillance in response to drug trafficking and use, while also placing the city’s cannabis clubs under renewed pressure. Although authorities present it as a modern public-safety strategy, its focus on control, pressure on cannabis clubs, and drug use reflects the same prohibitionist approach that could deepen the criminalization of users rather than shift toward health, human rights, and harm reduction. |

AURORA CANNABIS INC. URGES SHAREHOLDERS TO TAKE NO ACTION AT THIS TIME IN RESPECT TO THE UNSOLICITED TAKE-OVER BID BY CURALEAF HOLDINGS, INC. Curaleaf's decision to launch a hostile takeover bid is designed to pressure Aurora's shareholders into a short-term decision for the benefit of Curaleaf shareholders. Curaleaf's actions and comments reflect its objective: to acquire, at the lowest price possible, Aurora's market-leading EU-GMP facilities and global medical cannabis platform. Curaleaf's description of Aurora's business performance does not reflect our recently reported quarterly results and stated European medical cannabis strategy. Comments by Curaleaf's CEO failed to present the facts; Aurora has engaged with Curaleaf since June 2026, including as recently as August 12, 2026. |

Why Terpenes Might Matter More Than Most Cannabis Shoppers Realize Behind the giant THC percentage sits an enormous amount of chemistry that helps determine what cannabis smells like, tastes like and how one product differs from another. Among the most interesting components are terpenes, the aromatic compounds responsible for many of the scents associated not only with cannabis but also citrus peels, pine trees, lavender, hops and countless other plants. Terpenes are not a replacement for THC. |

‘Stop Destroying Cannabis Farms, Legalise, Regulate’ — Sowore Human rights activist and African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has criticised the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for destroying cannabis farms in Edo State, calling instead for the legalisation and regulation of cannabis in Nigeria. Sowore, in a post on X on Tuesday, faulted the agency for destroying what he described as economically valuable crops at a time when the country was grappling with widespread poverty. He urged the government to stop destroying cannabis farms and establish a regulated framework that would enable Nigeria to benefit from the plant’s medicinal and industrial uses. |
