The Legality of Cannabis Industry

As far as 2019 concerned, there are already around 500 accredited investors, however, in order to bring a massive expansion to the cannabis stock industry, institutional investors would have to show interest in the sector as well.

For now, institutional investors are playing safe and are being cautious concerning legalities and regulations of cannabis-related business and the industry of cannabis in general.

On the matter of the legality of cannabis industry in 2019, Stiefel is predicting that the three initiatives taken by the government and which is related to cannabis, will cause the industry to boom: criminal justice reform, banking reform and protection of the state cannabis reserves.

Cannabis reform should become a matter of the pending presidential elections upcoming in 2020, when it is expected that the industry of cannabis including cannabis oil will be properly regulated, attracting institutional investors and pushing the growth of the sector.
