Best Cannabis ETFs For Q2 2022
Top marijuana stocks in 2022 have experienced significant downward momentum to start the year. In general, after peaking in February 2021 most of the cannabis sector has been trending down reaching new 52-week lows in recent trading. These declines are mainly related to delays with US federal marijuana legalization. Another delay was announced before the weekend as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he would delay his formal introduction of the CAOA in Congress until August. With many failed attempts at getting any form of cannabis reform legislation passed many investors have turned away from cannabis stocks.
One major issue US MSOs currently have in the market is the ineligibility to trade on the Nasdaq or NYSE.

There are, however, methods for these investors to get involved in this part cannabis industry. Marijuana ETFs are a way for cannabis investors to gain exposure to cannabis stocks that are currently unavailable on larger exchanges. An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a similar investment to a mutual fund. In general, a cannabis ETF will follow a certain index, sector, commodity, or other asset and trade like a regular stock on the stock exchange.
