Canadian Marijuana Stocks Surge on Executive Appointments and Industry News
Leading the charge
Canopy Growth's news was the only company-specific development driving those prices higher.
The executive in question is Paul McCarthy, who has been appointed president of weed lobbying organization the Cannabis Council of Canada.
Another development in the Canadian market is the potential elimination of a competitor. The country's top producer of edibles, Indiva (OTC: NDVA.F), is apparently teetering.
Other problems need to be addressed, however
- Persistent black-market competition is a concern for the Canadian pot industry.
- Pot companies have struggled with oversupply issues.
- The U.S. federal laws continue to impede potential growth for Canadian exporters.
