These 4 Marijuana Stocks Could Spark Activity

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 15, 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, marijuana stocks 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 (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI), Youngevity International Inc (YGYI), Acreage Holdings Inc (ACRGF), and Aphria Inc (APHA) represent 4 pot stocks that are heating up on Thursday.

Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE: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 recent news, Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) announced that, further to its news release dated December 17, 2018, the Company has signed a Definitive Agreement to acquire all of the outstanding securities of Cloud Practice Inc. Per the announcement, Cloud Practice's founders, including CEO Jordan Visco, and the entire support team, will join and work alongside the Premier Health team.

''We are very excited to have completed this acquisition and to have the experienced team at Cloud Practice join the team at Premier Health. With this acquisition, we now have a medical software company with national reach. Thus, enabling us to build on our patient centric technology platform that will integrate telemedicine, online booking and other premium services with our electronic medical records (EMR) system,'' said Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of Premier.
