Marijuana stocks could soon see a small boost in momentum. The reason for this could be that although Trump is in office not much has taken place to derail the cannabis industry. Without federal reform in place shareholders and future investors do not want to take such a big risk. Especially with not many of Trump’s people being on board with legal cannabis as is.

Now as things begin to settle and investors observe there have yet to be any big changes it may restore some faith. For instance, as the legal cannabis industry continues to grow and thrive it should be a smoke signal things are ok. But as mentioned above people are just too fearful of waiting and losing money. Yet there are a handful of shareholders that see the finish line down the road as where their prize will be.

The long game is the idea and approach some are taking. People are doing their homework and taking advantage of this downtrend to find top marijuana stocks to buy. Even still nothing is etched in stone but it’s better to be prepared than not. At this time people are watching with caution and bits of hope that things will eventually change. Below are a few marijuana stocks to watch as things progress in the market.

Village Farms International, Inc. (“Village Farms” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VFF) today announced that it has refinanced its syndicated Canadian Cannabis Term Loans, consolidating its three previous loans into one credit facility with two of its existing lenders. The new Canadian cannabis credit facility carries a variable interest rate below 8.0 percent, reflecting a 50 basis point improvement to the previous interest rate, as well as improved financial covenants and a maturity date of February 7, 2028, replacing its previous credit facilities maturing on February 7, 2026.

Michael DeGiglio, Chief Executive Officer of Village Farms commented, “We’re pleased to refinance, consolidate, and extend our Canadian cannabis loan under improved terms. Combined with last week’s announcement about our favorably amended FCC produce loan, we have substantially improved financial flexibility across all areas of our business. These updates demonstrate confidence in our future outlook, driven by continued leadership in our existing markets and a strong platform for growth internationally.”

About Village Farms International

Village Farms leverages decades of experience as a large-scale, Controlled Environment Agriculture-based, vertically integrated supplier for high-value, high-growth plant-based Consumer Packaged Goods. The Company has a strong foundation as the leading and longest-tenured fresh produce supplier to grocery and large-format retailers throughout the US and Canada and is capitalizing on new high-growth opportunities in the cannabis and CBD categories in North America, the Netherlands and selected markets internationally.

In Canada, the Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Pure Sunfarms, is one of the single largest cannabis operations in the world, the lowest-cost greenhouse producer and one of Canada’s best-selling brands. The Company also owns 80% of Québec-based, Rose LifeScience, a leading third-party cannabis products commercialization expert in the Province of Québec.

Internationally, Village Farms is targeting selected, nascent, legal cannabis and CBD opportunities with significant medium- and long-term potential. The Company exports medical cannabis from its EU GMP certified facility in Canada to a growing list of international markets including Germany, the United Kingdom, Israel, and Australia. The Company is expanding its international presence with additional export contracts to new countries and customers in the Asia-Pacific and European regions, as well as select strategic investments in operating assets. In Europe, wholly-owned Leli Holland has one of 10 licences to grow and distribute recreational cannabis products.

In the US, wholly-owned Balanced Health Botanicals is one of the leading CBD and hemp-derived brands and e-commerce platforms in the country. Subject to compliance with all applicable US federal and state laws and stock exchange rules, Village Farms plans to enter the US high-THC cannabis market via multiple strategies, leveraging one of the largest greenhouse operations in the country (more than 5.5 million square feet in West Texas), as well as the operational and product expertise gained through Pure Sunfarms’ cannabis success in Canada.

Village Farms Clean Energy (VFCE), through a partnership with Atlanta-based Terreva Renewables, creates clean energy from landfill gas at its Delta RNG facility. VFCE receives royalties on all revenue generated. This partnership reduces Vancouver’s greenhouse gas emissions by 475,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to removing more than 100,000 vehicles off the road or the energy use equivalent of powering 51,300 homes for one year.

High Tide Inc. (“High Tide” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, announced today that its Canna Cabana retail cannabis store located at 4A River Heights Drive in Cochrane, Alberta began selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use on April 20th (4/20). This opening brings High Tide’s total store count to 196 Canna Cabana branded locations across Canada, and 85 in the province of Alberta.

This location provides exclusive access to the south end of Cochrane, an area with a significant residential population and no current cannabis retail competition. The closest cannabis retailer is nearly 3 kilometers away, meaning this store will be the nearest option for over 8,000 residents. Situated along the major route between two southern Cochrane neighborhoods, this store benefits from high visibility due to its location which is inside a high traffic commercial plaza next to key co-tenants like a gas station, liquor store, as well as several fast food and medical service businesses.

Update on German Medical Cannabis Market Entry

The Company remains committed to entering the fast-growing and attractive German medical cannabis market, with a goal of eventfully becoming a major importer and distributor of Canadian medical cannabis products. The Company discloses that since its press release dated February 25, 2025; it has engaged in negotiations with multiple potential partners and is encouraged by the progress made to date. The Company’s unique standing in the Canadian cannabis industry, built on $1.7 billion in Canadian cannabis sales since 2018, has sparked meaningful interest from potential German counterparties. The Company will keep investors updated once a definitive agreement is reached.

“The opening of our newest store in Cochrane, Alberta reflects High Tide’s continued commitment to expanding in markets where we see strong, long-term potential. Building on the success of our existing location, this new store is ideally positioned to become the cannabis retailer of choice for nearly 8,000 local residents, further solidifying Canna Cabana’s status as a household name in Alberta. Our Cabana Club loyalty program also continues to gain impressive traction in both new and established markets, with ELITE signups accelerating at a record pace thanks to the trusted brand we’ve built across Canada. As we grow, our focus remains clear: deliver an unmatched retail experience, provide everyday unbeatable value, and the friendly service our customers have come to rely on. Cochrane presents an exciting opportunity with favourable cannabis demographics, and we’re proud to deepen our roots in this thriving community,” said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

“As we continue advancing our Canadian growth strategy, we’re also keeping a close eye on international opportunities—particularly in Germany’s fast-growing medical cannabis market, where the volume of imported dried flower for medical or scientific use exceeded 70 tons in 2024, more than doubling from the previous year. Since placing the Purecan acquisition on pause, we’ve engaged in several promising discussions with alternative acquisition targets. Our goal remains to leverage the $1.7 billion in Canadian cannabis sales we’ve generated since 2018 to position High Tide as the supplier of choice for medical cannabis exports into Germany. I look forward to updating our investors on further progress soon,” added Mr. Grover.

The post High Tide Inc. (HITI) Opens New Canna Cabana Store in Cochrane, Alberta appeared first on Marijuana Stocks | Cannabis Investments and News. Roots of a Budding Industry..

The U.S. cannabis market continues to expand rapidly, with expected revenues reaching over $45 billion by 2025. This growth is fueled by rising consumer demand and ongoing state-level legalization. So far, 24 states and Washington, D.C. have legalized adult-use marijuana. Nearly 80% of Americans now live near a dispensary. Although federal reform has faced challenges, momentum continues to build. Most recently, a major legalization proposal in Florida failed to meet the required 60% threshold. However, efforts remain active across other key states. Many investors are now focused on the DEA’s expected rescheduling of cannabis. This move could reduce tax burdens and increase medical research. With this news circulating, top marijuana stocks are showing renewed volatility and opportunity this week.

With market sentiment shifting, traders must stay focused and disciplined. Technical analysis is critical when identifying price trends, breakouts, and support zones. In addition, traders should use stop-loss orders to protect against downside risk. Volatility remains high across cannabis names, so managing position size is essential. When evaluating marijuana stocks, it helps to track volume, recent news, and price structure. Watching how a stock reacts at key levels gives insight into trader sentiment. Moreover, staying updated on federal reform talks can provide early clues for breakout potential. While long-term growth is strong, short-term moves can be fast and unpredictable. By combining risk management with clear trade planning, investors can better capture gains while avoiding steep losses.

The Future of the Cannabis Industry

With legalization efforts gaining momentum, multi-state operators are positioned for significant growth. Among the top stocks to watch this month are Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (TCNNF), Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (CURLF), and Verano Holdings Corp. (VRNOF). These companies offer wide dispensary coverage, steady financials, and long-term potential. Additionally, investors should use technical analysis and solid risk management strategies when entering positions.

While recent pullbacks have created attractive entry points, traders must remain disciplined. Support and resistance levels should be closely monitored to identify key price action. By focusing on cannabis leaders with proven performance and strong cash flows, investors can position themselves ahead of possible policy shifts. Let’s take a closer look at three U.S. marijuana stocks to watch this April.

Marijuana stocks are still facing the wrath of the unknown in the market. This has added more downward momentum for the sector for several reasons. To start, most publicly traded cannabis companies were already down due to issues with reform and regulatory matters. Even though, as a business, things have been profitable for most legal operators. But for some reason, the success of business has yet to be a means to see the company trade up. Another reason is fear of what Donald Trump’s cabinet will do about legal cannabis as they are mostly not in favor of it.

This puts investors and operators in a space where fear and concern are at all-time highs. Along with the tariffs being put in place, hold or not has been an additional factor to poor momentum and overall trading. Now, the upside to all this can be what may occur in the future. So the idea is if companies can continue to be successful as a business, ultimately this could lead to more investing and trading.

Right now, those who feel the future is where the gains will be are looking for the best marijuana stocks to buy. Especially while top companies are trading at low share prices. If the industry and public sector can make it out of this uncertain time, things can quickly change for the better. The marijuana stocks to watch below are top companies that could be the reason your cannabis portfolio eventually makes a better return.

As the tariffs are set in place, it will probably create a ripple effect throughout the cannabis industry. This may impact things from production costs to market prices. Even how marijuana stocks trade, although the sector has been down for some time. As tariffs are implemented, import costs for materials needed in cannabis, such as hydroponic systems, lighting equipment, and other growing supplies, may increase.

This increase could lead to higher operational costs for cannabis farmers. Increased operation costs may put operators in a position to charge more for cannabis goods in response to the higher prices for cannabis products. From an investment perspective, top marijuana stocks may react poorly to these changes. Yet, investors are assessing the potential for a future turnaround in trading.

With how low the sector has been performing finding top Marijana stocks to buy at lower shares is still possible. The idea is to see what will come and hope to see a stronger industry and more success down the line. Which is the speculation many cannabis stock shareholders have. They are planning for the future as this is where they see the silver lining to all that is happening. The marijuana stocks to watch mentioned below could be a few options to consider during this time.

The legal operators are now facing the reality of how Donald Trump’s tariffs will impact the cannabis industry. For the ancillary side of the cannabis industry, many products are made overseas. Places like China are deep into the cannabis industry. Some of the companies are known for manufacturing vaporizer parts and packaging solutions. Now with tariffs in place things that were once more affordable for cannabis consumers will ultimately go up in price.

However, how will this long-term impact legal operators as a business? Will the increase in goods hurt the market or lead to more profits? Are those who use cannabis going to look for cheaper products that fit their means and their budget? This is only the start as there is more to see. Another question is how will affect the public sector. Are the tariffs going to drop marijuana stocks further or will they bring in much-needed momentum?

At this time there are many unknowns as speculation on how to invest in cannabis stocks is still met with uncertainty. Some feel finding top marijuana stocks to buy now with how low the shares are is a good strategy for future gains. Especially with all that is going on across most niches in the public sector. Now is a good time to learn and keep an eye out for the best marijuana stocks to watch.
