InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Cannabis stocks heating up on Wednesday as investors prepare for a Senate meeting that could introduce a new legalization bill.
According to recent reports, the introduction of the marijuana legalization bill could happen as early as this week. The exact details of the bill are unknown but it’s likely to include decriminalizing the plant, as well as reforms to criminal justice.
Adding to that talk, Sen. Cory Booker has announced a Senate Committee meeting for July 26. This will cover “Decriminalizing Cannabis at the Federal Level: Necessary Steps to Address Past Harms.” Booker is the man behind the new weed legalization bill too.
Marijuana legalization has been the white whale of cannabis stocks for years now. The current composition of the Senate may allow such a bill to pass and there’s a push to get it through before the mid-terms this November.
As expected, cannabis stocks are gaining on talk of legalization. Let’s go over how some of the biggest players are reacting today below!
