Reuters exclusively reported that JPMorgan Chase & Co has told prime brokerage clients it will no longer let them buy certain U.S. cannabis-related securities beginning Nov. 8.

The saga drew regulatory scrutiny and prompted banks across Wall Street to review how much risk they are prepared to take on in their prime brokerage businesses.
