REUTERS\/Kevin Mohatt<\/figcaption><p>(Reuters) &#8211; Cannabis stocks surged on Wednesday as Democrats won a key U.S. Senate race in Georgia and led in another, moving closer to a stunning sweep that would give them control of Congress and power to act on their promise to legalize pot.<\/p>\n<p>U.S.-listed shares of Aphria Inc,, Hexo Corp and Cronos Group rose between 10.4% and 13%.<\/p>\n<p>Pot stocks have rallied since Joe Biden\u2019s victory in the U.S. presidential elections in November and higher demand for pot during the coronavirus-led lockdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President-elect Kamal Harris\u2019 has promised pot decriminalization, which would remove it from the classified substances list. But with republicans gaining control of the senate in November elections, the passage of acts to decriminalize it, had looked bleak.<\/p>\n<p>While marijuana has been legalized in some states, its use is still illegal at a federal level. Import of marijuana into the U.S. from other countries, or even across states, is prohibited and federally governed institutions, like banks, can even be charged with money laundering if they work with marijuana growers.<\/p>\n<p>Democrat Raphael Warnock\u2019s victory over Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler and Jon Ossoff\u2019s lead over incumbent David Perdue on Wednesday would give Democrats the power to advance President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s policy goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven Democrat President-elect Joe Biden will take office later this month, and the House remains controlled by the Democrats \u2013 a Democratic sweep could clear the way for more progressive cannabis legislation to be passed,\u201d said Aaron Grey of Alliance Global Partners in a note.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-cannabis-hot\/pot-stocks-high-as-democrats-on-brink-of-controlling-u-s-senate-idUSKBN29B1YN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: A participant in a study on the effects of cannabis, shows the marijuana flowers he has grown in his backyard, in Longmont, Colorado, [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":104114,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
