Canadian Cannabis Stocks And US Federal Marijuana Reform In 2021

Top marijuana stocks to buy started the week with some downside in the market. As the market prepares for the Fed meeting on Wednesday investors saw a selloff in many sectors including cannabis stocks.  One area that has suffered significant losses during 2021 is Canadian marijuana stocks. In general, Canadian cannabis stocks gained the most in the market in the first quarter of 2021. But after February the sector began to decline due to the delays with US federal cannabis reform.

Now after leaders in the Senate removed the SAFE Banking Act from the NDAA it seems we will not see any changes this year to the government’s ancient federal cannabis policies. As it stands Canadian cannabis companies are the most affected by the delays in US federal marijuana legalization.  Although they have seen growth in 2021 most leading companies have established an entry into the American cannabis market once it’s federally legal to do so.

But delays with the US passing federal cannabis reform have not allowed them to enter the market at this time. Some Canadian companies have established entry by way of CBD or the acquisition of US companies. In December top Canadian pot stocks have fallen to some of the lowest trading levels seen this year. For new investors, this could be an opportunity to find the best marijuana stocks to invest in at lower price points.
