Why Aphria, Aurora Cannabis, and Cronos Group Sank in February

Canadian marijuana stocks had a terrible February. High-profile names like Aphria (NYSE: APHA), Aurora Cannabis (NYSE: ACB), and Cronos Group (NASDAQ: CRON) each lost a staggering amount of value last month. Aphria's shares dropped by 21.5%, Aurora's stock dipped by 29.1%, and Cronos' equity slipped by 18.5%, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
