Whitefish, MT / Oct 6, 2014 / Cannabis industry stocks moved lower last week, according to the Marijuana Index(tm). Top gainers included Neutra Corp.

Industry bellwether GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) also moved higher later in the week after it was upgraded by Zacks from Neutral to Outperform.
On the regulatory side, the cannabis industry continues to gear up for the November 2014 elections. Some polls have shown declining support for cannabis, but investors should read between the lines.
