3 Marijuana Stocks To Watch Mid February
Many want to know what investing in marijuana stocks will mean in the future. To be more specific with no federal legislation in place some investors are finding trouble seeing a progressive trading path. Right now the many who are involved in the cannabis industry are waiting to see what 2022 will bring. Currently, a cannabis banking measure has passed the House and is awaiting its vote by the senate.
With cannabis banking legislation being passed it would allow for financial institutions to work MRB’s. With marijuana still federally illegal, it is tough for some companies to conduct certain businesses without fear of federal penalty. Now on the other hand Chuck Schumer has recently stated that he will be filing his reform bill in April.
His bill would eliminate cannabis prohibition once and for all. This is the big focus inside the cannabis industry. Many investors have been waiting for the eventual passing of the bill to do so. Plus many also feel this will be a big catalyst in seeing a possible recovery in the sector.
Marijuana Stocks And More Industry Growth
Yet beyond federal reform on a state level, a lot of growth has occurred. More states have votes to go legal and this year it’s possible to see even more. This would not only increase the number of legal states but will increase the number of legal markets. Which can lead to more revenue for each state. Not to mention most new markets are first approached by top MSO’s.
To which investors believe 2022 has the potential to be a strong year for some multi-state operators. So with more progress hopefully it will resonate well among cannabis stocks in the sector. This holds true to some pure-play companies as well. With much more to be seen this year this is only the start for marijuana stocks and the cannabis industry.
