CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2018 / Gallup has been conducting surveys on the public's opinion toward marijuana since the 1960s. The pollster has found that 60% of respondents now want to see cannabis legalized nationally and this is as recent as 2016. In comparison, roughly 25% approved of legalizing marijuana nationwide back in 1995.
This was the year before California became the first state to legalize medical marijuana for "compassionate" use. As consumer sentiment continues to support a legal market and, more importantly, entire countries like Canada go fully legal, investors have been eyeing new opportunities that this market is offering.
With the North American sales of legal pot coming in at $6.9 billion in 2016 alone, (according to cannabis research firm ArcView Market Research) companies have already begun targeting exponential sales growth this year. Additionally, investment firm Cowen & Co. anticipates legal marijuana sales growth of more than 23% per year through 2026. As this market realizes more growth, here are 3 cannabis stocks to have an eye on heading into the rest of the 4th quarter.
