The smaller Canadian cannabis stocks we’ve picked have seen their stock prices surge over the past month
The cannabis sector has been seen as less susceptible to a COVID-19 related economic slowdown as its consumers either need marijuana medically or are highly reluctant to stop using it recreationally. While some of the bigger players, such as Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB), (TSX:NYSE:ACB) and Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON), (TSX:CRON) have seen their share price suffer lately, the smaller Canadian cannabis stocks we’ve dug up have experienced the best upward momentum during the past month.
