Sweeping tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday are set to increase prices of cannabis products in the country, as many firms rely on Asia for manufacturing.

Tins, vape hardware and specialized glass remain difficult to source domestically, and companies remain largely dependent on Asia particularly China.

Shares of cannabis firms were trading down between 5% and 10% on Thursday.

“Despite cannabis legalization, recreational drug use by youths [12-18] has dropped to its lowest level in 25 years.”

Kids understand what harms them now. This is the result of years, decades, of their parents also understanding that and passing it on to their kids.

This is a public health success story. It is also a success story for legalization of a once-controlled substance.

What if we applied this lesson to hard drugs?

Reading about the German part-legalisation of weed. Wonder for how long it will be economically viable to grow it indoors under electric lighting in northern Europe. On the day that import restrictions from Morocco -- or even southern Spain -- are lifted on this easy-to-grow agricultural product, all those businesses will go belly up. After all, nobody pays €4000 for a kilo of oranges.
