CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2018 / Marijuana stock investors are paying close attention to markets this week. An outcome to the Farm Bill as well as anticipation of what's to come following a $1.8 billion investment by Altria into the cannabis arena have sparked new interest. This year has been one of "firsts" for the marijuana industry as many have already seen.
Four marijuana stocks to watch this month include Premier Health Group (PHGRF) (PHGI), HempAmericana, Inc (OTC PINK: HMPQ), Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (LHSIF) (LHS.CN) and Cronos Group Inc. (CRON).
Cannabis legalization across Canada, as well as new states in the US going legal, have helped to build new attention on the industry.

"We are excited for this opportunity to acquire our first pharmacy, and thereafter being able to prepare and deliver prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals and other health products to patients. In doing so, the pharmacist will play an integral role in our team-based patient-centric model," said Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of Premier.
Premier Health Group (PHGRF) (PHGI) recently engaged discussions with Licensed Producers under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulation, other licensed medical cannabis companiesand government officials in order to establish a framework for both patient and physician education.
In line with other pharmacy focused companies, this move could prove to beand exciting one for Premier Health Group (PHGRF) (PHGI). The Canadian medical cannabis clinic market is estimated to be worth approximately $2.35 billion by 2025. With this in mind, the company said that it expects to provide additional updates on acquisitions in Q4-18 and Q1-19.
