Friday, May 31st, marked a huge day for the marijuana industry and for the near-term future of marijuana stocks. The US Food and Drug Administration held its first hearing on CBD. The hearing could lead to a decision that allows US companies to add CBD to food, drinks, and supplements under the oversight of the FDA.
Because it is only the first meeting regarding CBD, the most likely outcome is general guidelines for future hearings. But, even if a decision is not made, the slightest amount of good new that moves towards pro-CBD could push marijuana penny stocks.
Why Marijuana Penny Stocks?
The marijuana industry becomes more and more lucrative for several reasons. First, there is a versatile range of products from THC to CBD. They can be applied in several facets of life like food or beauty products. The market size for the marijuana industry is very lucrative and companies, both inside and out of marijuana, see this.
Second, to marijuana booming, the combination with penny stock volatility could prove fruitful for investors. If a cannabis company announces a new product or offering, they could see their share prices fly. If investors can catch those moves early, they can cash in.
