Top Cannabis Stocks To Watch In June
To begin this week’s trading, the best marijuana stocks to buy demonstrated some upward momentum. Following a choppy trading day in the general market, the cannabis sector began to see modest gains as the day progressed. Despite the fact that many experts feel this current rise is a bear market rally, leading cannabis stocks may find more activity. Several catalysts for the cannabis industry may be building now in June.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is scheduled to propose the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act in August, for example. This may bring federal marijuana legalization back into the spotlight this summer. In previous years, this has resulted in a surge in marijuana stocks, and it might lead to an uptrend in the cannabis industry. The declines in marijuana stocks are largely due to current delays with federal cannabis reform.
