Cannabis is now legal in Canada for recreational use. By 2025, the cannabis market has been estimated to be worth about $57 billion! The first set of companies the Canadian government grants approval will definitely be at the top of the game. Investors whose countries haven’t legalized cannabis, can switch over to Canada to get some weed action. The cannabis business may be a very profitable one but investors must ensure they carry out the research. That is, before carrying out long term investments.
Some Canadian cannabis companies that can be invested in include:
OrganiGram Holdings
OrganiGram has a market capital of $714.11 million. The company is involved with dry cannabis and cannabis oil. OrganiGram gives an assurance to customers that all their produces are organic but OrganiPharma retrieved some of the company’s products in 2016. This was due to some amount of pesticides found in the products. In one year, the company’s stock has an average 145% return.
The Hydropothecary Corporation
This Corporation has a market capital of $965.05 million. It’s the only cannabis health producer which has a license in Quebec, Canada.
