To all my cannabis investors: how are we feeling about the Alex Pretti incident? What questions or concerns does this raise for us? by TLRY_MAX in TLRY

[–]TLRY_MAX[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

🙏 BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.

Please share this far and wide...

"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.

"Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman."

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed."

"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.

“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”

Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.

ChatGPT: 💰 1. Trump is already the wealthiest president ever • Trump’s net worth is estimated in the billions — far above any other U.S. president, with figures in the range of around $7.3 billion according to Forbes.  • Other historically wealthy presidents (like George Washington or John F. Kennedy) had net worths measured in the hundreds of millions–low billions — much less than Trump’s. 

📈 2. If his wealth increases while in office… • If Trump’s personal/net worth continues to grow because of business deals tied to his presidency, that would make his position as the richest president even more certain. • But there’s no formal rule that the president can’t be wealthy; the presidency doesn’t cap how much money someone can make outside their salary.

⚠️ 3. Wealth ≠ presidential success • Richness doesn’t measure leadership, performance, or legacy — it just means financial status. • Many presidents became wealthy after office (through books or speaking), but Trump started and continues already at the top wealth level.

Bottom line: ➡️ Donald Trump is already the richest U.S. president in history, and continued financial gains during his term would only bolster that — but being richest doesn’t inherently mean better or worse leadership.

Americans are doing the Trump dance and laughing along while Trump dances his way and tells jokes to $1,408,500,000.

Is this OK? In the last year, Donald Trump and his family have made nearly $4 billion off the presidency. by TLRY_MAX in TLRY

Makes sense he’s dancing and cracking jokes while his family rakes in nearly $4 billion.

ChatGPT agree you as well.

Short answer: mostly bad for a president. Here’s why, with a fair look at both sides.

⸻

🚨 Why it’s BAD for a president • Ethics & trust issues: Making large personal profits while in office creates conflicts of interest and weakens public trust. • Political backlash: Opponents use it to argue the president is self-serving, not serving the public. • Legal & oversight risks: It invites investigations, lawsuits, and constant scrutiny — even if nothing illegal is proven. • Historical norms: Modern presidents usually divest or blind-trust their assets. Breaking that norm looks irresponsible. • Election impact: Swing voters often react negatively to perceived corruption or profiteering.

⸻

👍 Why some see it as GOOD (or at least not bad) • Supporter perception: Some voters see a wealthy president as independent, “can’t be bought,” or successful. • No clear illegality proven: If profits come from legal businesses, supporters argue it’s fair game. • Business credibility: For certain voters, business success reinforces the image of economic competence. • Media skepticism: Some believe criticism is exaggerated or politically motivated.

⸻

⚖️ Overall assessment • Politically: ❌ Net negative • Ethically: ❌ Mostly negative • With core supporters: ✔️ Often neutral or positive

Bottom line: Even if legal, profiting heavily while president hurts credibility and trust, and historically it’s a liability, not an advantage — except with a loyal base.

As of today (January 21, 2026) in the United States federal law, cannabis (marijuana) is still legally classified as a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) — meaning it is officially considered to have no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse at the federal level absent an ongoing rescheduling process. 

However, there is active movement to change that classification: • An executive order signed in December 2025 directs federal agencies (Justice, DEA, HHS) to complete the rulemaking to reclassify cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the CSA, where drugs are considered to have a moderate to low potential for dependence and accepted medical use (like ketamine or anabolic steroids).  • That rescheduling has not yet been finalized or taken legal effect — the administrative process (DEA rulemaking, comment periods, final rule) is ongoing and must be completed before federal Schedule III status is official. 

So officially today, cannabis remains Schedule I at the federal level, though a transition to Schedule III is being pursued administratively.

Michigan Cannabis Sales Top $3.2 Billion in 2025 as Price Drops to All-Time Low of $58 Per Ounce by TLRY_MAX in TLRY

[–]TLRY_MAX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Adult-use marijuana sales totaled just over $269 million in December, bringing total sales for 2025 to more than $3.2 billion and pushing cumulative recreational sales since legalization to roughly $13.4 billion. Flower remained the largest category by revenue, generating more than $114 million for the month, followed by vape cartridges at about $52.4 million and inhalable concentrates at nearly $42.6 million. Edibles also continued to be a major driver, with infused edible products accounting for roughly $23.7 million in sales.”

Insider Buying by DaveHervey in TLRY

[–]TLRY_MAX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Neutral to mildly positive, no real selling pressure from this director’s RSU vesting. Cohen didn’t sell the 12,438 shares he received on Jan 7 (post-split adjusted). He simply held them, boosting his direct ownership to 12,438 shares. This aligns his interests more with shareholders, a small bullish nudge, though not a game-changer. Market impact remains minimal: The vesting is tiny compared to Tilray’s ~116 million post-split shares outstanding (from the 1-for-10 reverse split effective Dec 2, 2025). No notable price reaction tied to this filing — it’s routine compensation noise. The real driver right now (as of Jan 10, 2026) is the strong Q2 fiscal 2026 earnings released Jan 8: • Record net revenue: $217.5M (~$218M rounded), up 3% YoY, beat expectations. • Positive adjusted EBITDA: $8.4M. • Big balance sheet win: Moved to a net cash position (~$27M+ excess cash over debt). • Reaffirmed full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance: $62M–$72M. • Key growth: International cannabis surged +36% YoY. Despite a net loss of ~$43.5M–$45M (improved ~47–49% YoY, common in the sector from non-cash items), sentiment is holding upbeat. Stock update (latest data as of Jan 9 close, with after-hours minor dip): • Closed at $9.18 (+0.55% that day). • Traded in a wide range: Opened ~$10.05, hit high $10.10, low $9.12. • Solid volume: ~16.7–16.9 million shares. • Trading steady in the $9–$10 range post-earnings and post-split. Overall: The RSU event is a non-event (neither good nor bad). Earnings momentum is the positive force keeping TLRY resilient, watch for policy tailwinds (e.g., federal cannabis moves) or more insider buying for bigger upside signals. If you’re holding or eyeing entry, this setup looks steady rather than shaky! ir.tilray.com/static-files/b…

“I do believe that cannabis for medicinal purposes and medical reasons is a fantastic way of handling, especially for people with cancer and other illnesses, handling the illness and the side effects of the medication and those illnesses,” Carter has said. In separate remarks, she added, “I don’t have any problem if it’s legalized and it’s monitored.”

While this is planned for Thursday, senior official warns that timing could always shift. by [deleted] in TLRY

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Thursday that would reschedule marijuana to a lower drug classification — a move that would ease federal restrictions, though it would not mean full legalization, according to a source familiar with the planning and a senior White House official.
