Why Are Cannabis Stocks Down In 2022?
Are top marijuana stocks to buy for 2022 on your watchlist? In April the best cannabis stocks to watch are establishing new lows as the overall market continued to trend lower. In general, the cannabis sector has experienced declines for more than a year partly due to delays with US marijuana federal legalization . At the present time, House Representative Earl Blumenauer and Rep. Ed Perlmutter are attempting to attach the SAFE Banking Act to the America COMPETES Act.
The marijuana banking legislation has passed through the House six times before but continues to get stopped in the Senate. In fact, for 2021 the Senate has stopped every cannabis reform legislation passed by the House including the MORE Act. One reason for this is that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has been preparing his own federal marijuana legalization bill the CAOA which he expects to formally introduce in August. Although federal cannabis reform has weighed heavily on top marijuana stocks it has not affected the growth of leading cannabis companies in the US.
