As the year comes to an end, let’s reflect on the transformation that the marijuana industry has seen in 2018. In North America alone, Canada took the cake and became the first industrialized country in the world to legalize adult-use recreational marijuana. As for the US, ten states have now legalized adult-use while thirty-two have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes. Furthermore, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the green light to the first cannabis-derived drug. With the 2018 US Farm Bill pending final approval, Americans are about to see industrial hemp and hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) or CBD-based products soon become legal. Marijuana stocks are taking center stage once again this week. The mix of premarket momentum and headlines are keeping this budding industry in the spotlight. As the sector continues to evolve with fresh potential seen from beverage and tobacco companies and even Big Pharma making their way into the space, investors continue to look for possible opportunities to grow their portfolios.Click Here For Marijuana Stocks That May Grow Your Portfolio
