This is the real deal, too. The market in Canada alone could soar to $22.6 billion. And smart companies are already making their moves to get in on the action.
For example, big alcohol companies are already interested.

What Canada's Marijuana Legalization Means for Pot Stocks
Just look at how several cannabis stocks, Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) and Aurora Cannabis are already experiencing unbelievable growth.
Tilray is a leader in medical cannabis research, cultivation, processing, and distribution. It has the distinction of being the first cannabis stock to be listed on a U.S. stock exchange. And since its July 2018 initial public offering at $17.00 per share, the stock is up 831.6% to $158.38. That does not even include its temporary spike up to $300.00 on Sept. 19.
Aurora boasts an annual growing capacity of 1.2 million pounds and a significant international presence with sales and operations in 14 countries. The company reported revenue of $19.1 million for the fourth quarter and $55.1 million for the year. That's up 223% and 206% year over year, respectively. Plus, Aurora raked in quarterly net income of $79.3 million, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million a year ago.
While both of these stocks are still on the speculative side, Money Morning Defense and Tech Specialist Michael A. Robinson says, "The day when we can legitimately call them 'blue-chip pot stocks' won't be long in coming."
And now that Canada has fully legalized cannabis, we want to show you what's next for the country.
