Long-term, cannabis REITs have been one of the highest performing segments of the marijuana stock market. Some have provided investors with high 5-year returns and may be gearing up for another run. In last week’s trading, the majority of cannabis stocks hit fresh 2022 lows, which correspond to 2020 levels.

Real estate is provided by some auxiliary companies, while lighting and hydroponic equipment are provided by others. These ancillary marijuana stocks took large losses in last week’s trading as the Federal Reserve boosted interest rates by 75 basis points to combat inflation. They also lowered GDP growth in the United States, forecasting 1.7 percent in 2022, a significant drop. Because of the current market volatility, many seasoned cannabis investors are trading top marijuana stocks using short-term strategies.
