Overview: CBD Oil Stocks

Since ancient times, cannabis has been used as a form of medicine and as a means to induce euphoria. Indian sages have also mentioned the medicinal use of marijuana in Vedic hymns of antiquity.

However, President Richard Nixon banned the cultivation and sale of marijuana in the U.S. as part of his “war on drugs” campaign in 1970. It wasn’t until the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 was passed that California became the first state to legalize marijuana to treat people with severe or chronic diseases. As of 2022, 37 states in the U.S. have legalized the medical use of marijuana and 18 states have legalized the recreational use of marijuana. 

According to a recent report by the New Frontier Data, the legal sale of cannabis could reach $30 billion by 2025. Due to such high potential to earn profits, alcohol companies have started to invest big in CBD oil companies.  

Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: STZ) has invested billions in Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC). Molson Coors (NYSE: TAP) invested billions in Hexo (TSX: HEXO). Budweiser (NYSE: BUD) entered a joint venture to develop non-alcoholic CBD drinks with Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY).
