Sector Catalysts And Future Outlook
行业催化剂和未来展望
The cannabis sector awaits significant catalysts such as rescheduling and the SAFER Banking Act. However, the lukewarm mention of cannabis in the State of the Union speech suggests a conservative stance from the Biden administration.
大麻行业正等待重要的催化剂，例如改期和《更安全的银行法》。但是，国情咨文中对大麻的轻描淡写表明了拜登政府的保守立场。
According to Zuanic's report state-level developments, particularly the start of recreational sales in five key states, could serve as more immediate catalysts.
根据Zuanic的报告，州一级的事态发展，尤其是五个关键州娱乐销售的开始，可能会成为更直接的催化剂。
