The cannabis company’s shares climbed 31.55% to $11.09 after the close. This came after Tilray announced the launch of its Amped Live Resin Liquid Diamond 1g 510 cartridges under the Redecan brand.

The debut product line features Space Age CK and Blueberry DNTS strains. According to the company, the cartridges contain 80% Legit Live Resin and 20% Liquid Diamonds, designed to deliver strain-specific terpenes and full-spectrum cannabinoids.

New Premium Vape Products Target Peak Season

This marks Redecan’s first live resin-liquid diamond product line. The Amped cartridges include a TrueDraw Ceramic core made from medical-grade zirconia ceramic and a wide-body design to improve airflow and prevent clogs.

Tilray reported that live resin vapes delivered 6.3% category growth over the past six months in the Canadian cannabis market. Liquid Diamond formats remain among the top-selling vape products nationwide.

Vape basket penetration peaks from December to February, aligning with the launch timing. The products are currently available in Ontario and Alberta, with national distribution planned for early 2026 through authorized cannabis retailers.

During regular trading hours Thursday, Tilray shares rose 2.1%. The stock traded as high as $8.59 before closing at $8.43 on volume of 4.12 million shares, about 18% below average.

Policy Reports Add to Stock Movement

The after-hours surge also coincided with a report from The Washington Post. The report stated that President Donald Trump is expected to direct federal agencies to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III.

Schedule I drugs, such as heroin and LSD, have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedule III drugs have recognized medical uses and a lower potential for abuse.

A White House spokesperson told Forbes no final decisions have been made on marijuana rescheduling. The potential policy change could impact cannabis companies operating in the United States.
