3 Top Marijuana Stocks For Cannabis Investing In 2026
Investing in an industry that operates in a gray area can hold inherent risk. Yet, the long-term returns may prove to be worth it given the circumstances. For most people who have or are looking to invest in legal cannabis feel this same way. Right now, most marijuana stock investors are feeling the impact of the sector. Whether seasoned or new to the world of cannabis investing, 2026 could be the year where big gains are made. Now that cannabis is officially a scheduled 3 substance, there is more to be done with the plant that couldn’t be before.
With federal regulations not being as big a concern, will this give more confidence to investors? Even when Donald Trump signed the executive order, there was some pushback to it, and the market reacted as history has shown. This new bill is good for the bigger MSOs and a more corporate-structured cannabis industry.
Essentially, smaller craft and mom-and-pop operators will be squeezed out due to it. Yet maybe there is a chance to see everyone win with this new legislation. Not all cannabis is grown the same, and that is the concern that bigger MSOs won’t cultivate a quality product. Thus making it as medicinal as big pharma wants, when the plant is more than that. With much to be seen and done, these marijuana stocks to watch in 2026 could be the ones to see strong returns.
