Minnesota's thriving hemp-derived THC market could be in jeopardy if a federal provision banning hemp products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC becomes law. This would effectively shut down Minnesota's hemp industry, which has been a national leader in creating a legal market for hemp-derived THC products.

The Trump administration's potential reclassification of marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug could unlock economic potential, but also raise concerns over the drug's "high abuse potential" and link to fatal vehicle crashes. Investors should approach the cannabis market with caution, as it is known for its volatility.

Recent cannabis science research has challenged the commonly held belief that cannabis use is associated with decreased body weight and obesity. Studies suggest that the endocannabinoid system may play a role in regulating energy balance and metabolism, and that the modulation of this system by CBD and THC could have therapeutic applications for the management of obesity and related metabolic disorders.
