So with a new year comes a heavy amount of speculation for most investors. The US cannabis industry has had its fair share of turmoil in the past but things have changed drastically. Inside the United States, more than half of the country has legalized cannabis in some form. Yes, cannabis is still federally illegal in the USA but states have been able to run and regulate their own cannabis markets. With 2023 on the way means more chances to see not just state-level reform but federal as well.
A lot of people who invest in marijuana stocks feel that federal reform will be the main catalyst to watch for, which means that with either cannabis banking or the end of prohibtion there is a strong possibility to see all around better trading. Not just reform companies themselves have been growing and progressing. Some companies have grown through M&A and by introducing better products for consumers.
With this above info, it has brought on some better momentum for those companies. Nevertheless, if you are interested in finding the best marijuana stocks to buy now may be the time. The cannabis sector is still showing a fair amount of inconsistent trading. So when a pullback occurs this could be a good preparation to take a position in marijuana stocks you feel are good investments.
