In order for the cannabis industry to consistently achieve and maintain a high sales volume, it needs to be more nimble and prepared for changes than the tobacco industry was.

Cannabis stocks are behaving rather oddly on Tuesday -- a day when news for the marijuana sector is by and large bullish. As of 12:30 p.m. ET, shares of Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) are falling 3.5%, Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) is down 4.6%, and Aurora Cannabi

The Institute for Justice argues that the seizures violated state law, federal law, and the U.S. Constitution. Because the continued federal prohibition of marijuana makes banks and payment processors leery of serving state-licensed cannabis suppliers, many of those businesses rely heavily on cash, which exposes them to a heightened risk of robbery

On an isolated farm, greenhouses stand in regimental order, sheltered by a fringe of trees. Inside are hundreds of head-high cannabis plants in precise rows, each rising from a pot nourished by coils of irrigation tubing. Lights powerful enough to turn night into day blaze overhead.
