It's an interesting tale of a company once shooting the Moon and then ditched like no other in recent history of Nasdaq.
In July 2018, Tilray, the Canadian-based cannabis company, went public on the Nasdaq, becoming one of the first weed firms to list on a big U.S. exchange. On its first day of trading, shares jumped 35% and Tilray became the first beloved pot stock.
A few months later, Tilray hit $214 per share, valuing the startup—which had $27.5 million in revenue at the time—at $17 billion, an all-time high. But shares have been in a painful decline ever since. After seven years of no meaningful movement at the federal level to legalize marijuana in America and brutal competition in Canada’s small cannabis market, Tilray’s stock price has now dropped below $1, recently trading at 49 cents. Last month, the Nasdaq sent the company a warning that it could be delisted.
Can Tilray make a comeback with beer? Will US ever legalise the use of Cannabis?
Tilray was a victim of its own success and the fiat system.
I don't really blame them. If the market wants to value your company at 100x what it's actually worth who is going to say no.

Yea, you're right. I also think the market expected US could legalise Cannabis but it wasn't and it's one big reason for the downfall..

Obviously that would have been a huge outcome for Tilray as they had first mover advantage but there would have been a ton of competition for a US market and you could presume 10x the revenue they were generating in Canada, which means they would probably still be 10x overvalued even if they got the US market.
Classic case of bubble dynamics. Every one gets hyped about something new and piles in. Same happened with biotech in the mid 2010s.
