2 Marijuana Stocks To Watch Before Next Week
Marijuana stocks are facing a slight drop in trading. Much of this is due to the lack of federal cannabis reform. Right now there is a hold-up and slight divide when it comes to this issue. At the moment the Democrats the Republicans and the Senate Majority Leader are all trying to pass federal reform. The problem is each party feels their bill is better than the next. Which is causing a slight divide and more hurdles to pass some type of reform. In addition this a cannabis banking measure has been passed inside of defense bill. Now because of these issues, it has once again left the matter at a standstill.
More specifically when it comes time to vote some members of Congress may vote against passing. Which would be due to wanting their bill passed instead. The result from this hold-up is creating another drop in trading among marijuana stocks. When any news is released that announces progressive and positive updates it has helped cannabis stocks. Even though on a state level the cannabis industry is thriving federal reform is the end all be all. Meaning with the end of cannabis prohibition more business can take place that was once federally illegal.
