How Will The Marijuana Stocks Trade After Being Rescheduled
Marijuana stock investors are keeping focused on the future of the industry. With the potential shift in the scheduling of cannabis, people want to be prepared. There is a bit of uncertainty about what will happen when cannabis gets rescheduled. Many worry that it will negatively impact legal operators and various niches in the industry. However, when news first surfaced there was a bit of an uproar and a rise in momentum for marijuana stocks.
But since this news has surfaced there has been heavy speculation of what will occur and how to be ready. Volatility is something that is rarely short when it comes to pot stocks. Those in favor of legal cannabis need to fight for reclassification versus rescheduling. Although cannabis is making its way to a less severe bracket in the eyes of the federal government there is more to be done. The fear is that with rescheduling marijuana it will give leverage to big pharma.
Now what should happen is a reclassification for cannabis. With reclassifying it would be more in favor of legal operators. Particularly legend growers and small-batch farmers. The cannabis industry is growing and constantly facing new battles. Yet it seems that small victories bring the culture closer to the end goal of irradicating cannabis prohibition. For those looking to invest the companies below are marijuana stocks to watch if reform does pass.
