The Canada listed marijuana stocks we’ve identified are all licensed producers and/or distributors of cannabis in a number of states in the U.S.
SmallCapPower | June 18, 2018: Investing in Canadian marijuana stocks a year ago would have been a dream for most investors. After a significant run up, and with high expectation, most of the industry is trading at lofty multiples. However, a much larger cannabis opportunity in the U.S. is being overshadowed. Nine states in the U.S. have legal recreational cannabis and 30 states permit medical cannabis. The State of Florida alone has a medical market of $810M, double the size of the entire Canadian market. The Canada listed marijuana stocks we’ve identified today are great for exposure into the U.S. cannabis market.
