Best Cannabis Stocks In Q1 2022
Are you looking for top marijuana stocks to buy for 2022? To start the new year the best cannabis stocks to invest in have already begun to see significant market volatility. In 2021 most of the cannabis sector saw substantial declines as the year progressed. This is mostly related to the delays with achieving federal marijuana legalization and reform in the US. In 2021 many leading MSOs delivered strong earnings throughout the year. Unfortunately, this did not translate into gains in the market.
Instead, most of the cannabis sector only traded on the possibility of reaching the end of federal marijuana prohibition. In the US on the state level, the cannabis industry has been growing rapidly with many new states establishing legal medical and recreational markets in 2022. Currently, more than two-thirds of Americans believe cannabis should be made legal on the federal level.
In Congress, there has been a bipartisan push to try and get legislation passed in the House. But these attempts continue to get stopped in the Senate where lawmakers are trying to reach an agreement on decriminalization. As this process continues in 2022 it seems the cannabis sector has priced in the possibility of not achieving federal cannabis reform this year. Because of this top marijuana stocks may begin to trade off company fundamentals instead of just legalization.
