The approval enables Canopy Growth to accelerate its entry into the U.S. THC market, which is expected to be worth approximately $50 billion by 2026. The company plans to exercise rights to acquire U.S. assets in Wana, Jetty, and Acreage, with financial performance expected to be highlighted to shareholders later in the year. The press release issued on April 15, 2024, also mentions optimism for cannabis to be reclassified to Schedule III, which would enhance cash flow for the acquired companies by removing certain tax restrictions. Canopy Growth's strategy includes the creation of a U.S.-domiciled holding company, Canopy USA, LLC, which will hold the company's U.S. cannabis investments and is expected to lead to revenue and cost synergies.
