Will An EU Model Take Shape At The Global Cannabis Summit?
Will Muecke and Stanton McLean, Co-Founders and Managing Members of Artemis Growth Partners, join us on our latest Trade to Black podcast for March 19, 2025. Together, they’ll dive with Shadd Dales and Anthony Varrell into the upcoming Global Cannabis Regulatory Summit soon to be held in Washington, DC, on March 25-27, where the benefits of an EU model are likely to be discussed. Additionally, tune in for Christian Angermayer, Chairman of atai Life Sciences (NASDAQ: ATAI), in our weekly segment, Psychedelic Market Minute.
Will Muecke and Stanton McLean from Artemis Growth Partners are both former Wall Street executives. They’ll explain why Germany and an EU cannabis model is likely to be a topic of discussion at the upcoming Global Cannabis Summit in Washington, DC. Major industry figures from Europe and North America will gather to discuss the future of cannabis regulation. Germany’s framework has helped lower costs and drive out illicit market competition, unlike the United States’ more patchwork solution.
We’ll also explore how regulatory uncertainty in the United States has pushed institutional investors to look more favorably at Europe. Will and Stanton argue that American policymakers need to step away from outdated stigma and take a data-driven approach, similar to Germany’s model. Proper regulation at the federal level could make the US a global leader in cannabinoid pharmaceutical research, rather than ceding that space to other countries.
In the second segment, Christian Angermayer, chairman of Atai Life Sciences, provides insight into the psychedelic investment landscape and the challenges facing the broader small-cap biotech sector. Small-cap biotech stocks are experiencing historic lows, but that this downturn may represent a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity, particularly if interest rates decrease later in the year.
We’ll highlight atai’s latest earnings and discuss the future of the psychedelic industry, particularly in light of Robert Kennedy Jr.’s appointment as head of Human Health and Services. This and more when you tune into this episode of Trade To Black.
