These 4 Marijuana Stocks Are Bringing The Heat

CORAL GABLES, FL/ ACCESSWIRE / January 3,2019 / The way people receive health care, including how the medical field continues its integration of medical marijuana, is evolving. As public opinion surrounding cannabis becomes increasingly more favorable, the marijuana industry may begin to present an appealing opportunity for investors looking into the nascent sector. As experts and professionals in the field work to develop innovative approaches to developing products utilizing medicinal cannabis/hemp, the industry as a whole may benefit. Premier Health Group (PHGRF) (PHGI), Namaste Technologies Inc (NXTTF) (N), MedMen Enterprises Inc (MMNFF), and HEXO Corp (OTC PINK: HYYDF) represent 4 pot stocks that are heating up on Thursday.

Premier Health Group (PHGRF) (PHGI) saw impressive gains in the month of December, as the Company's shares hit highs of 0.80 to mark a move of more than 30% over the course of the 30-day period. As the cannabis sector has garnered notoriety and seen a significant increase in public support, Premier has focused its efforts on investing in opportunities that combine healthcare and cannabis. The Company announced, back in November, that it had engaged discussions with licensed producers under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulation, other licensed medical cannabis companies, and government officials in order to establish a primordial framework for both patient and physician education surrounding medical cannabis.

In addition to this news, several weeks ago, Premier Health Group (PHGRF) (PHGI) announced that as part of its growth strategy to cover major verticals associated with the healthcare sector, the Company signed a binding letter of intent to acquire all outstanding securities of Cloud Practice Inc.

''With over 110,000 active patients in our clinic ecosystem, it is important that we provide them with the best possible information that allows them to make informed decisions about their personal and family's health. Providing our family physicians with the appropriate tools and knowledge to prescribe cannabis or with the ability to refer patients to a specialist within our clinics is a key outcome of this initiative," said Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of Premier Health.
