5 Top Marijuana Stocks To Watch This Week

When it comes to the marijuana industry, many bulls have and continue to count their victories in recent years. As a result, marijuana stocks are now among the most active stocks in the stock market today. This would be thanks to the flurry of regulatory updates at the federal level. Evidently, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer unveiled a draft of legislation looking to end federal prohibition of cannabis last month. While the bill still has its share of hurdles to overcome, some of the leading names in the industry appear optimistic.

Earlier today, Trulieve (OTCMKTS: TCNNF) CEO Kim Rivers and Curaleaf (OTCMKTS: CURLF) Executive Chair Boris Jordan highlighted their outlooks. In a Yahoo Finance interview, the duo argued that banking restrictions faced by the cannabis industry could ease by early 2022. Now, to put things into perspective, marijuana providers are mostly unable to access the conventional banking system. This would be the case as long as the calming substance remains illegal at the federal level.

To address this aspect of the U.S. marijuana trade, the SAFE Banking Act comes into play. Simply put, the bill would allow banks to work with cannabis companies in legal states. Boris Jordan said, “I do think, though, we’ve got the votes in the Republican party to get SAFE Banking through.” All in all, the U.S. weed train seems to be building momentum. Could that make one of these marijuana stocks top picks in the stock market now?

Innovative Industrial Properties Inc.

Topping off our list today is Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR). Most seasoned investors in the field would be familiar with IIPR. In essence, the company is a real estate investment trust (REIT) operating mainly in the cannabis industry. As such, IIPR mainly acquires and manages specialized properties that will be leased as regulated cannabis facilities. In theory, with the possibility of federal legalization lighting a fire under marijuana stocks, IIPR stock would also stand to benefit.

As it stands, IIPR stock currently trades at $233.30 a share. After rising by over 280% since its pandemic era low, could the stock be worth jumping on? If anything, we could take a look at the company’s latest quarter fiscal posted last week. In it, IIPR saw green across the board. The company posted massive year-over-year jumps of 100% in total revenue and 120% in net income. Given IIPR’s current momentum, would you consider IIPR stock a top buy?
