The latest announcement is out from Cresco Labs ( (TSE:CL) ).

Cresco Labs has welcomed the U.S. federal government’s decision to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, calling it the most consequential milestone in the history of the American cannabis sector. CEO Charlie Bachtell said rescheduling recognizes cannabis as medicine, narrows the gap between federal law and widespread state-level legalization, and is expected to ease punitive tax treatment, enable more robust medical research, and lay the foundation for future reforms in banking access and capital markets. The company argues the policy shift will validate state regulatory frameworks, support the roughly 450,000 workers in the regulated cannabis industry and help normalize cannabis as a mainstream U.S. industry, reinforcing Cresco’s strategy of building respected national brands and expanding its operational footprint in a more accommodating federal environment.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:CL) stock is a Hold with a C$2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cresco Labs stock, see the TSE:CL Stock Forecast page.
