retail marijuana in Montana and medical marijuana in Louisianan. As of the start of 2022 businesses, legislators and advocates will witness new policies become active.

With marijuana stocks not having the best year outside of the market a lot of success and growth has occurred. As well as the above-mentioned new state-level cannabis laws soon to go into effect.

Which has also allowed others to take advantage of how low some of these cannabis stocks have fallen.

To which with these new policy changes could help see a more efficient nationwide cannabis industry. Which may help see an increase in how the sector may perform.
