Do Marijuana Stocks Have a Trust Problem?

For years, the marijuana industry has been thriving, and the expectation is that even greener pastures await. After all, according to a recently released report from Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, "The State of Legal Cannabis Markets," global weed sales should grow at a better than 24% annual clip through 2024 to north of $40 billion. Mind you, this figure focuses on licensed-store pot sales, but excludes cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals and general-store cannabinoid revenue. Nevertheless, it signals robust growth in the years that lie ahead.

Yet, if things are so perfect for the budding pot industry, you might be wondering why the bulk of cannabis stocks have been sinking for nearly four months?
