3 Marijuana Stocks To Watch Ahead Of Midterm Elections

[ACCESSWIRE]

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2018 / November's midterm elections will mark two years since Donald Trump's 2016 Presidential win and the first test of how his Republican party is performing in the eyes of the American public. With this will come the buzz around cannabis legalization in the US. Over 90% of Americans support medical-marijuana access, and 60% support legalizing and regulating marijuana in the same way as alcohol. Several states are in focus.

Texas could see pro-legalization Beto O'Rourke add a new support to the US Senate. In California the departure of Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein could bring pot supporter and California Senate President Kevin de León on board; he has a far better record on cannabis issues. With elections in the spotlight, investors turn their attention to several companies that could be slated to benefit from new support for cannabis in the US.

Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (LBUY) has begun to trend higher this week. After pulling back to lows of $0.55 on September 13, shares of the cannabis tech company have rallied back as high as $0.93 on Monday. Yesterday shares closed trading at $0.87.

The company announced this week that it has a non-binding letter of intent in place to acquire California-based Greenlight Technologies. Greenlight provides cannabis consumers real-time mobile ordering and loyalty rewards through a native application that integrates with the local dispensary's point of sale system. Greenlight's technology will support Leafbuyer's customers and allow consumers to pre-order cannabis products via mobile app and pick the orders up in their local store.

''The acquisition brings together two leading brands, that combined, will deliver unparalleled world-class technology and solutions for the cannabis space.'' said Michael Gabriel, Co-Founder of Greenlight Technologies.
