Canadian cannabis producer Cronos Group lost $78.9 million in its fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, bringing the company’s net loss for the year to $168.7 million.

The Toronto-based company on Tuesday reported that its net revenue grew 23% year-over-year to $91.9 million in 2022.

Cronos’ revenue in the United States fell 48% in the same time period, to $5.2 million in 2022.

That was offset by sales growth in Canada and Israel.

The company’s net revenue in Canada grew 12% in 2022 over 2021 to $56.2 million.

In Israel, net revenue increased 128% over 2021 to $30.5 million in 2022.

Cronos said net revenue increased primarily because of higher cannabis extract sales in the Canadian adult-use market and higher flower sales in the Israeli medical marijuana market.

In the October-December quarter, Cronos saw its consolidated net revenue fall to $22.9 million, down 11% over the

Did Donald Trump mean it when he said he wanted marijuana reform – and will the former and current president follow through?

With the marijuana rescheduling process paused indefinitely – its future is at the mercy of Trump’s future choice to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration – and Republicans in Congress mostly bent to the once and current president’s will, nothing less than the future of the $32 billion marijuana industry depends on the answer.

Trump made history in September when he became the first major-party presidential nominee to endorse a state adult-use legalization campaign.

Though Trump’s backing of Florida’s Amendment 3 – some critics say his endorsement was mostly spurred by his acrimonious relationship with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – didn’t

A new study on hemp microorganisms could ultimately help researchers, scientists and growers boost production of CBD and other valuable compounds such as terpenes.

The University of Houston study – titled “Microbiome diversity and variations in industrial hemp genotypes” and published in Nature magazine – examined communities of microbiomes living in and around the roots and leaves of four types of hemp plants.

University of Houston researchers compared how those microorganisms differ between hemp grown for fiber and hemp grown for CBD production.

“Understanding these microorganisms can also lead to more sustainable farming methods, using nature to boost plant growth instead of relying heavily on chemicals,” Waqar Ahmad, an author of the study and doctoral student of lead researcher Abdul Latif Khan,

If U.S. Rep. Dina Titus has her way, the 119th Congress will finally pass cannabis banking reform as well as bills easing military veterans’ access to medical marijuana and researchers’ abilities to study the drug.

If all that sounds familiar – or like a crass joke, in the weeks before Groundhog Day – it should.

Those popular and long-sought-after wins are also what the Nevada Democrat and newly minted co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus’ immediate predecessors chased after, Titus acknowledged during an interview with MJBizDaily.

Titus, whose new caucus co-chair is fellow Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, spoke with MJBizDaily only days after the newly seated Congress voted to certify the November presidential election that will allow Donald Trump return to
