The medical marijuana industry has taken off in Canada; companies and investors alike want a piece of the action of this industry that could expand quickly to $5 billion annually. SmallCapPower identifies the best Marijuana Stocks that could see new highs from this budding industry.

On that day, Health Canada said the 40,000 Canadians currently licensed to grow their own medical marijuana will have to dispose of their present stash and get future medicine from commercial growers.

SmallCapPower | June 1, 2017: Investing in Canadian marijuana stocks two years ago and holding them to today would have been a dream for most investors, as Canadian marijuana stocks skyrocketed due favourable news such as plans for recreational legalization in Canada. Buying Canadian marijuana stocks today can still provide benefit to investors as the potential $22.6 billion industry is still in its early stages. Investors should still be weary, however, as there is still a great amount of uncertainty surrounding Canadian marijuana stocks, which are discussed in detail in our marijuana report. Furthermore, stocks in the industry are valued at insane multiples, which could come down to reality if uncertainties aren’t cleared in the favour of Canadian marijuana companies. If you’re in the market for big potential returns, and have an appetite for risk, then it’s worthwhile to check out our top 10 Canadian marijuana stock picks, in no particular order.
