Are These Marijuana Stocks In Your Investment Portfolio
With the promise of federal cannabis reform marijuana stocks have been a hot topic in the industry. For those who have invested in cannabis stocks, you know that a Biden/Harris Administration can potentially add more value to the cannabis industry. During this Presidential election, Sen. Harris stated she and her administration would work to federally decriminalize cannabis.
The morning after Harris made these claims, many cannabis stocks shot up in value quite dramatically. This value increase included pot stocks like Canopy Growth Corp. (NASDAQ:CGC), Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (OTC:CURLF), and Cresco Labs Inc. (OTC:CRLBF). While the outcome of the presidential election has led to a victory for Biden and Harris, the future of the cannabis industry seems to be in good hands.
Over the last 6 months, other cannabis stocks have been able to see more upward momentum. Much of this is due to the promise of federal cannabis legislation which has also caused an upward push with ancillary pot stocks and pharmaceutical pot stocks. This is because they have a bigger connection with the greater cannabis industry. In addition, these companies have a major amount of things in works that have yet to been seen.
However, cannabis companies working to reach their full potential have been greatly hindered by the lack of proper legislation for the cannabis industry. Now that we have a new president whose administration is in favor of cannabis to a degree the cannabis industry could become a lot more valuable in the following years. All things considered, 2021 is shaping up to be a year of growth for the cannabis industry as a whole. Below are 2 marijuana stocks to watch as things progress with the cannabis industry in the near and distant future.
