GRWG - Cannabis Stocks TLRY SNDL CGC ACB GRWG Down as Senators Unveil New Bill
InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Cannabis stocks are coming off their high today as investors react to the new marijuana legalization bill introduced to the U.S. Senate.
While investors might think the introduction of the bill would boost the price of cannabis stocks, that’s not the case. This is due to all that the bill seeks to cover. Among that is ending the federal prohibition of the drug, criminal justice reform, as well as new taxes on pot products.
That might sound good on paper, but getting the support to actually pass the bill seems unlikely. A lack of support on both sides will likely keep it from reaching the 60 votes need to pass. Also, the White House has expressed interest in a more limited version of marijuana legalization.
Unfortunately for cannabis stocks, it looks like this bill will fail and marijuana legalization won’t come to pass this semester. However, Democrats could try again next year depending on how the mid-term elections go this fall. The only problem with that is experts predicting the Senate will flip to Republictions.
With that said, let’s go over how today’s news is affecting cannabis stocks below.
