Given their depressed valuations, U.S. cannabis stocks can be a buying opportunity “with the caveat that they are extremely volatile in the short term,” says Mr. Ahrens, who runs the actively managed AdvisorShares Pure U.S. Cannabis ETF “We feel strongly that things have been co-ordinated behind the scenes – that the HHS wouldn’t put that letter out unless it was already co-ordinated that the DEA was going to approve it,” Mr. Ahrens says.
Still, the reclassification of marijuana is expected to have a bigger impact than the banking bill as it would also allow cannabis companies to write off business expenses – a move that would boost cash flow and profits.Nawan Butt, portfolio manager with Toronto-based Purpose Investments Inc., agrees that rescheduling is key and “would probably be the biggest news in cannabis since its legalization in Canada.

He has almost no exposure to the struggling Canadian cannabis market.
