The Canadian cannabis stocks on our list suffered the most in what was a volatile year for the marijuana sector
SmallCapPower | December 28, 2018: 2018 marks a historic year for the cannabis industry, with Canada becoming the first G7 nation to federally legalize marijuana for recreational use. The year began strong for cannabis stocks, following a strong rally that began late 2017. The good times soon came to an end, however, as cannabis stocks mirrored sharp declines across global financial markets starting mid-January. Cannabis stocks saw another rally following the passage of Bill C-45 in June 2018, as well as Constellation’s (NYSE:STZ) announced $5B investment in Canopy Growth Corp in August. Towards the end of the year, following a short seller report against Aphria and also mirroring declines in major equity indices, cannabis stocks saw further declines. Today we’ve identified three Canadian cannabis stocks that have generated some of the lowest returns for shareholders in 2018.
