Top Cannabis Stocks For Q2 2023
Are you planning to buy marijuana stocks in 2023? Cannabis investors are using the current delay in the cannabis market by trading cannabis penny stocks, among other strategies. For the sake of clarity, any stock that is traded for less than $5 is referred to as a penny stock. Despite the well-known high level of market volatility in the marijuana industry, short-term investors may still expect to make large gains.
Congress is currently delaying the federal cannabis reform and SAFE Banking laws, which are affecting the cannabis industry. But with the marijuana market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of at least 25% until 2030, many investors are looking for investment opportunities. As more states and entire countries decriminalize or legalize cannabis, commercial opportunities for both new and established companies are growing. In view of President Biden’s announcement in October 2022 of marijuana changes that potentially signify steps toward the federal decriminalization of cannabis, this is very relevant.
One industry that will experience significant growth is the American cannabis market. Investors can profit from the market’s current momentum by taking advantage of the sector’s recovery. The top two marijuana stocks to watch in March are listed below.
