Among other countries and states, Canada has already legalized the use of medical marijuana in 2001.
The legalization of medical marijuana in Canada only shows that the cannabis industry has developed excellently. Moreover, it means that the industries’ success is not hindered by restrictions of the state like the US. Having these restrictions, the medical use of marijuana is allowed in 33 states and in Washington DC. Further, the law known as the Cannabis Act or Bill C-45 was passed by the House of Common of Canada last November 2017 in order to allow the legalization of recreational use of pot.
This Act is generally contrasting to the US in which the potential legalization of cannabis is debatable.

They are listed as major exchanges or as trade within the over-the-counter market. Majority of the stocks can be classified as penny stocks which carry a relevantly greater risk component.
