The cannabis producer became the first pot company to have an initial public offering in the US in July.

he so-called "green rush" in the stock market can be traced back to the middle of August when the beverage maker Constellation Brands announced a $4 billion investment in the cannabis producer Canopy Growth.

In October, Canada became the second country after Uruguay to legalize marijuana for recreational use. And last week, Michigan joined nine other US states and Washington, DC, in legalizing the drug for anyone over the age of 21. So far, 33 states and Washington, DC, allow medical marijuana.

President Donald Trump was considering other marijuana opponents to fill the position.

Tilray is up 556% since going public in July.
