Cannabis Gains Ground after Favorable GWPH Data & Ongoing MMJ Legalization

The Marijuana Index™ traded higher last week amid GW Pharmaceuticals plc’s (NASDAQ: GWPH) rally higher as well as broader gains across the industry.

Top gainers included GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH), which rallied more than 20% last week after reporting favorable preliminary data on its clinical trials, and Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. (OTC: NDEV), which extended its rally by about 11% this week. Losers last week included Tranzbyte Corp. (OTC: ERBB), which fell 8.3% on no news, and Fusion Pharm Inc. (OTC: FSPM), which gave up some of its strong gains from the prior week.

Cannabis regulatory initiatives also continued to gain ground last week. In New York, the legislature and governor agreed to a last-minute deal to legalize limited forms of medical marijuana for limited numbers of patients. Florida lawmakers reached a similar deal to legalize medical marijuana in a limited way as well, helping open the doors in more U.S. states. And finally, Hillary Clinton’s stance on the legalization of marijuana also appears to be lightening up.
