The Current Cannabis Industry And Declines In Pot Stocks In 2021
Are you looking for top marijuana stocks to buy for 2022 gains? Although 2021 has delivered declines to many of the best cannabis stocks to invest in this could be an opportunity for traders next year. Because of federal cannabis reform delays, the cannabis sector was negatively impacted in 2021. Although this is true in the market this year many leading cannabis companies saw strong earnings growth and continued expanding their presence into new markets.
As more states begin new medical and recreational markets, 2022 can continue providing room to grow for the cannabis industry. One area that has seen significant declines in 2021 is the Canadian cannabis sector. As the year began many investors believed we would see federal marijuana legalization in 2021. With many lawmakers pushing for the end of prohibition, there are a few details that held back reaching federal marijuana legalization this year.
One major issue that politicians have not found a middle ground in is marijuana decriminalization. In general Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is pushing for measures to help communities that have been affected by the government’s war on drugs. This is the main reason the SAFE Banking was not passed this year and all federal marijuana legalization and reform bills have been held off.
Canadian Cannabis Stocks And 2022 Potential
One area that stands to gain from the US ending prohibition is the top Canadian cannabis stocks. In 2021 these stocks have seen the most market volatility and experienced the steepest declines in December. But with the possibility of seeing some changes to US policy next year, they could have substantial upside next year.
