Best Cannabis Stocks For 2022 In A Down Market
The best marijuana stocks to buy in 2022 established new one-year lows in April. As the overall markets put in one of the worst four months of trading since 1939 top cannabis stocks have been one of the sectors most affected by current market sentiment. In addition, for the sixth time, the US Senate has stifled the House of Representatives attempts to pass incremental cannabis reform with SAFE Banking.
Lawmakers in the House attached the banking reform to the COMPETES Act only to have it removed in the Senate again. For many people in the cannabis industry, it seems both Republicans and Democrats in the Senate are using federal cannabis reform as a political tool. Recently there has been an increase in dispensary robberies that have left many cannabis employees injured or killed in 2022.
In general, this is because US multi-state operators are currently forced to do business in cash without regular banking like all other companies. But as the number of employees in the cannabis industry grows so does their influence come election time. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the cannabis industry has expanded rapidly. Many new states have gone full recreational, and others have established medical marijuana markets. Although the cannabis sector is down in the market the industry is thriving in the states and in the global markets.
