The U.S. Treasury Department has released its <a href="https://www.fincen.gov/frequently-requested-foia-processed-records">quarterly report</a>, revealing that last year, over 830 financial institutions nationwide have officially acknowledged relationships with state-licensed cannabis businesses. According to a <a href="https://norml.org/news/2024/11/14/treasury-report-over-800-banking-institutions-report-relationships-with-state-licensed-cannabis-businesses/?link_id=5&amp;can_id=23ddea46021350bb8012464da757f45b&amp;source=email-norml-news-of-the-week-11142024&amp;email_referrer=email_2530540&amp;email_subject=norml-news-of-the-week-11142024">report</a> from the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), this number reflects a modest increase from the previous year and represents nearly double the number of banks and credit unions engaged with the cannabis sector in 2018.
However, despite this growth, fewer than 10% of all financial institutions in the U.S. currently provide services to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis industry</a>. The ongoing hesitation among banks stems from federal law, which classifies marijuana as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-schedule-i">Schedule I controlled substance</a>. This classification poses significant legal risks for banks, even when working with businesses fully compliant with state cannabis regulations.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Legislative Stalemate Continues To Hinder Progress</h3>
Efforts to resolve the banking issue have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39730510/house-gop-divided-over-cannabis-strikes-banking-protections-from-bill-respect-the-will-of-these-">repeatedly stalled in Congress</a>. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed legislation seven times to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/secure-and-fair-enforcement-safe-banking-act">protect financial institutions</a> that serve cannabis businesses from federal penalties. Yet, the Senate has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39324658/gop-controlled-house-strips-cannabis-banking-protections-from-government-spending-bill-in-blow-t">failed to advance</a> these proposals to a floor vote, leaving the cannabis industry in a precarious financial position.
The lack of clear federal guidelines continues to deter many banks, exacerbating the challenges faced by cannabis businesses in securing banking services and investment capital. According to a survey by Whitney Economics, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/01/25324529/survey-72-of-cannabis-operators-say-lack-of-banking-is-biggest-problem-even-fewer-are-making-pro">over 70% of cannabis operators</a> cited limited access to banking and capital as their primary obstacle.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Impact On Smaller And Minority-Owned Businesses</h3>
The absence of comprehensive banking reform disproportionately impacts smaller and minority-owned cannabis businesses, which often rely on traditional financing to grow and operate. NORML, the first cannabis advocacy group in U.S., has called on Congress to amend federal banking laws. "No industry can operate safely, transparently, or effectively without access to banks or other financial institutions. The players in this industry, particularly smaller and minority-owned businesses, and their consumers will remain severely hampered without better access to credit and financing," said NORML deputy director Paul Armentano.
The lack of federal legalization and banking access for cannabis has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/04/31671933/is-the-cannabis-industry-ignoring-minority-communities">disproportionately impacted minorities</a> and small businesses. Many entrepreneurs, especially from marginalized communities, face significant barriers to entry in the cannabis industry due to limited access to financial services, such as loans and credit. This forces many to operate in cash, increasing risks and operational difficulties. Additionally, the continued federal prohibition contributes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/08/28566915/racism-blossoms-in-states-with-criminal-penalties-for-cannabis-possession">racial disparities in arrests</a> and convictions related to cannabis, even as legalization spreads at the state level. Without full legalization and banking reform, these barriers hinder economic opportunities for minority business owners and perpetuate systemic inequities.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Path Forward: SAFER Banking Act</h3>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/safer-banking-act">SAFER Banking Act</a> remains a key focus for cannabis advocates, who argue that it would provide the much-needed clarity and legal protection for financial institutions willing to work with the industry. The bill&#8217;s future remains tied to the broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-rescheduling">debate over federal cannabis policy</a>, and advocates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41133218/house-democrats-urge-dea-to-speed-up-cannabis-rescheduling">continue to push for its passage</a> to ensure safer, more equitable conditions for cannabis businesses across the U.S. For now, the limited participation of banks underscores the persistent legal uncertainty surrounding cannabis, even as the industry continues to expand across state markets.

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) plans to challenge recent court decisions that allow several states and hundreds of school districts across the United States to proceed with lawsuits.
These legal actions accuse Meta's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41349398/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-to-face-lawsuits-over-teen-social-media-addiction-judge-rejects-dismissal-moti" rel="noreferrer noopener">social media platforms</a>, including Facebook and Instagram, of contributing to a mental health crisis among young users.
The company filed appeals late Thursday, seeking a review by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The appeals follow separate rulings by a federal judge in California last month, which rejected Meta's requests to dismiss the lawsuits, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-15/meta-to-appeal-orders-letting-schools-states-sue-over-addiction?srnd=homepage-Americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled in favor of 34 state attorneys general who argued that Meta's social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, have had detrimental effects on youth mental health, leading to claims of negligence and public harm.
However, Judge Rogers largely denied motions to dismiss negligence claims but limited specific allegations, referencing Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
Alongside Meta, other tech giants such as Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) were also named in lawsuits filed by various school districts.
TikTok&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41243023/tiktok-gets-sued-13-states-and-dc-accuse-chinese-platform-of-boosting-corporate-profits-via-social-m" rel="noreferrer noopener">faces regulatory action</a> from&nbsp;13 U.S. states and the&nbsp;District of Columbia for allegedly harming the youth.
Meta's legal team is moving forward with the appeal. The company argues that its platforms are not directly responsible for the alleged mental health issues, citing protections under existing internet laws.
Meta, Snap, and TikTok jointly launched Thrive to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40846628/meta-snap-and-tiktok-come-together-to-combat-suicide-and-self-harm-content-online-will-share-signals" rel="noreferrer noopener">tackle the spread</a> of harmful content related to self-harm and suicide on their platforms.
The program enables these social media companies to share alerts about graphic content, enhancing efforts to limit its reach.
The Mental Health Coalition collaborates with companies to help address concerns and reduce the stigma around mental health issues online.
Meta reported removing over 12 million posts related to suicide and self-harm on Facebook and Instagram between April and June this year.
Recently, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41862616/meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-dodges-personal-liability-in-child-social-media-addiction-lawsuits-federal-judge-cites-lack-of-evidence" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rogers ruled</a> that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is not personally liable in 25 lawsuits alleging social media addiction among children.
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers dismissed claims suggesting Zuckerberg ignored internal warnings about mental health risks on Facebook and Instagram.
The plaintiffs argued that Zuckerberg downplayed the dangers, but the judge cited insufficient evidence of his direct involvement.
The ruling only applies to claims against Zuckerberg, while similar legal challenges against Meta remain unaffected.
Price Action: META stock is down 3.73% at $555.66 at the last check on Friday.

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) shares are lower on Thursday due to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42013119/whats-going-on-with-large-european-and-us-vaccine-makers"> news </a>that President-elect Donald Trump picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. This has some investors concerned because Kennedy was critical of certain vaccines and vaccinations.
Some believe the weakness in the stock may present a buying opportunity. This is why our team of expert traders and technical analysts has made it our Stock of the Day.
On Wall Street, many trading strategies and methods are based on the concept of reversion to the mean. If something goes too far one way, there is a good chance that it reverses and comes back the other way.
Most of the time, a stock stays in what is known as its trading range. But sometimes investors and traders can become emotional and aggressive. They can push the shares out of the range.
When this happens, there may be opportunities to profit. There is a good chance there will be a reversion back to the mean.

If a stock is below its typical or average range, traders say that it is &#8220;oversold.&#8221; Some anticipate a reversal back to the average. This would mean a move higher.
So, they enter the market as buyers. This could put pressure on the stock and force the price higher. It could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The lower part of the chart is the Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator. When the blue line crosses below the horizontal red line, it indicates oversold conditions. As you can see, that is the case now. Pfizer is very oversold.
There is also another reason why the stock may reverse and head higher.
The shares have dropped to a price level that was support in April. Stocks tend to have support at levels that had been support before. Sometimes they can even rally off of support.
There are traders and investors who sold at the support level in April and regretted doing so when the price moved higher. Some decide to buy their shares back if they can at the same price they were sold.
So, now that the shares are back to their selling price, they are placing buy orders. This creates support.
The combination of being oversold and at support means there is a good chance Pfizer reverses and heads higher.

A Closer Look at Royal Caribbean Gr's Options Market Dynamics

On Friday, Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EYEN#NASDAQ">EYEN</a>) stock is trading lower after an update from the Phase 3 CHAPERONE study evaluating its proprietary drug-device combination of low-dose atropine in the company&#8217;s Optejet dispensing platform <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42004665/eyenovia-provides-update-on-phase-3-chaperone-study" rel="noreferrer noopener">pediatric progressive myopia</a>.
Progressive myopia is a type of nearsightedness that worsens over time due to the eyeball growing too long.
The company said that an independent Data Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the CHAPERONE data and found that the trial is not meeting its primary endpoint of a less than 0.5 diopter progression in visual acuity over three years.
The DRC reviewed the safety and efficacy data from 252 evaluable patients. The DRC found that the rate of myopia progression was not significantly different between the two active treatment arms (0.01% and 0.1% atropine ophthalmic metered spray) and placebo.
In the safety analysis, all dosages and placebo appeared well-tolerated, with a mild and infrequent adverse event profile. Full study data has not yet been released to Eyenovia.
&#8220;We plan to terminate the study, review the data more thoroughly, and evaluate the next steps,&#8221; stated Michael Rowe, Eyenovia&#8217;s CEO.
In light of the results of this review, the company is considering strategic options, which may include a business combination, reverse merger, asset sales or a combination of those alternatives.
William Blair has downgraded <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EYEN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eyenovia to Market Perform</a>.
The analyst says,&#8221; While the approval of Mydcombi provided important validation of Eyenovia's Optejet device, and the subsequent approval of clobetasol propionate ophthalmic solution 0.05% added another promising product to the company's commercial portfolio, we believe the negative results from the CHAPERONE study and limited capital to invest in the launch of clobetasol or further pipeline programs limits near-term upside.&#8221;
Price Action: EYEN stock is down 68.2% at $0.1083 at last check Friday.

Avicanna Reduces Net Loss And Improves Gross Profit, Focusing On International Markets

Money is one of the top reasons couples fight – and when one partner hasn't worked for over a decade, tensions only rise. This was the case for a woman who recently called into financial advisor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41883704/start-with-a-beater-car-says-dave-ramsey-when-youre-debt-free-and-paying-cash-for-your-dream-ride-youll-appreciate-the-sacrifice">Dave Ramsey's show</a>, seeking advice on what to do about her husband, who's been unemployed for 13 years. Despite his Ph.D. in pharmaceutical chemistry, he hasn't held a job since his layoff in 2011, leaving her as the sole breadwinner.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/cd-valet-growth">CD Popularity Soars: Over 50 Million Americans Embrace Safe Savings with 5–10% Annual Growth</a></li>
</ul>
As she described how they'd moved across the country, sought counseling and even enlisted resume help, Ramsey listened closely before giving her some straight talk: "This has nothing to do with the mechanics of finding a job … He doesn't want to work."
The woman explained that her husband's layoff coincided with shifts in the pharmaceutical industry and the economic crash, which made finding a comparable job difficult. But, as she's rebuilt her career, she's increasingly felt that his job search has been less than active. Ramsey laid it out: "Behavior is a language. What's he been telling you for a decade? ‘I don't work.'"
Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-pickle"> to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.</a>
Co-host Dr. John Delony added that people in similar situations often take <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41852620/theres-a-great-place-to-go-when-youre-broke-to-work-says-dave-ramsey-about-a-piece-of-advice-he-got">whatever work they can find</a> to support their families. Ramsey pointed out, "I know too many people with Ph.D.s who got laid off but went to work at the grocery store or Walmart in the interim."
The caller admitted she'd encouraged him to find any job just to return to the workforce. Still, the years kept passing. Ramsey's co-host sympathized, but his message was tough: "This is about getting up off your butt." He continued, stressing that the woman's husband must feel the consequences of his inaction. "Somebody's going to have to love him enough to knock him out of the ditch," Ramsey advised, "because he ain't climbing out."

The situation became even trickier when she admitted she'd consulted a lawyer, only to find she might have to pay alimony if she left him. For this caller, Ramsey's advice boiled down to one central theme … love sometimes means <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40838359/dave-ramsey-says-youre-wasting-5-000-a-year-if-you-spend-13-70-a-day-on-things-you-dont-need">helping someone face their reality</a>.
With the unemployment rate for Ph.D. holders aged 25 and over at just 1%, a 13-year gap in work is practically unheard of. According to Time, men without full-time jobs are 33% more likely to get divorced than those who are employed. So it's no wonder this caller is fed up with her husband's lack of ambition – her frustration is more than understandable.
Ramsey's advice cuts to the core. Without intervention, this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">situation likely won't change</a> and the toll it takes on finances and marriage could grow harder to ignore.
