According to Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, the legal cannabis market is estimated to grow to $73 billion by 2027. This rapid growth is due to more countries legalizing cannabis, as well as the ongoing de-stigmatization of cannabis use.

Additionally, the global pandemic has led to an increase in sales of cannabis products as people look for alternatives to traditional tobacco products. While there are no guarantees in the stock market, the potential for substantial profits has made cannabis stocks an attractive option for many investors. With that, let’s take a look at three cannabis stocks to watch in the stock market today.
