These Marijuana Stocks Could Soar When Big Alcohol Invests in Cannabis

There's a revolution underway in the legal cannabis industry. And it's about to storm the gates of corporate America.

Some of the nation's largest beverage companies, like Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: STZ), are pouring millions of dollars into legal cannabis.

In fact, Constellation just announced it plans to spend $3.8 billion on a stake in Canopy Growth Corp. (Nasdaq: CGC), a leading cannabis company.

Now, marijuana is still illegal on the U.S. federal level. So it will be a while before these products hit the shelves in the United States.

Nonetheless, Constellation making such a significant investment indicates that the company believes some form of legalization in the United States might be coming down the legislative pipeline in the near future.
