Midterms Mean Big Gains for Stocks in the CBD and Biotech Market

ACCESSWIRE

HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / August 3, 2018 / Polls show almost 90% of Americans are in favor of medicinal marijuana. In an increasingly fractured country, it's hard to find anything that many Americans believe. With the midterm elections fast approaching, you can bet candidates will champion this cause and this will lead to a pretty strong mandate.

Smart investors are hopping on bargains in these sectors as they can see the writing on the wall.

Everyone that discovers BRTX before the phase 2 clinical trial starts could be in store for a great win. There are several other companies making major gains we've listed below.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has reportedly taken another step toward legalizing marijuana in the state announcing Thursday that he has appointed a panel to draft legislation to legalize marijuana in the State of New York. In doing so, Cuomo seemed to further demonstrate a willingness to weigh in on an issue that has plagued New Yorkers for decades, and which the incumbent governor has seemingly rushed to catch up on since gubernatorial primary challenger Cynthia Nixon picked up the issue earlier this year.
