8. Cannabis Market Downturn Might Provide Buy-In Options for Promising Stocks
Cannabis stock investors have been reminded this summer about the two-sided reality of their stakes in the industry
Number one: The cannabis market is still an up-and-coming sector with immense potential in the near future. Number two: You might experience some in-flight turbulence. The cannabis sector has undergone a few months of steady declines, culminating in a steeper drop over the last thirty days. Every cannabis commodity has been vulnerable to the slowdown. These include the top four public cannabis stocks according to market cap: Curaleaf (CSE: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF), Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ: CGC) (FRA: 11L1), Green Thumb (CSE: GTII) (OTCQX: GTBIF) (FRA: R9U2), and Trulieve (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF).

5. 2 Promising “Ground-Floor” Psychedelic Stocks

MindMed (NEO: MMED) (NASDAQ: MNMD) (FRA: MMQ) is a biotech company that’s working on LSD experimental therapy for opioid withdrawal and pain treatment. Another with strong potential is Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE: CYBN), a Canadian pharmaceutical company developing psychedelic medicines to treat depression, anxiety and addiction.

The psychedelics treatment area won’t be a zero-sum game
I’m not going to try and spin it, the Atai Life Sciences (NASDAQ: ATAI) chart is broken. The chart doesn’t just look broken. It is broken. Once ATAI shares lost the $17 level around July 26, the wheels came off, the level got rejected hard on the first bounce, and folks have been throwing in the towel ever since. In short, everything about ATAI is awful right now, but I happen to love the space long-term and believe that sellers here may regret their decision to sell when we look back in a year or two; heck, maybe even six months.
