top 10

The legal cannabis market is growing at a rapid pace, with analysts predicting that pot could grow to a value of over $50 billion in only ten short years. Knowing this, many people from across the political spectrum are looking to invest. It is still a bit of a risky time to get into the marijuana market, as the plant remains illegal at the federal level. However, most experts believe cannabis is here to stay, so why not invest now? Here’s a list of the top 10 medical marijuana stocks you may want to look into.

#1: GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ:GWPH)

GW Pharmaceuticals has been getting a lot of attention recently due to the development of Epidiolex, a synthetic cannabinoid medication for epilepsy. The drug is performing well in trials, and if approved by the FDA, could be worth more than $1 billion within a few years.

#2: INSYS Therapeutics (NASDAQ:INSY)

Much like GW, INSYS is a biotech firm dedicated to creating treatments based on cannabinoids. The majority of their products are delivered sublingually (via a spray), offering both patients and caregivers a more efficient way to medicate. Currently, their main focus is on developing their cannabidiol spray to meet the needs of those suffering from Dravet Syndrome, infantile spasms, and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.

#3: AXIM Biotechnologies Inc. (OTCQB:AXIM)

Another company looking to change the face of how medicine is delivered, AXIM strives to be on the cutting-edge of cannabinoid therapies. The firm is currently developing the world’s first CBD/THC controlled-release functional chewing gum, called MedChewRX. The drug is meant for patients with multiple sclerosis to help effectively treat chronic pain and spasticity issues.

#4: Zynerba Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ZYNE)

Zynerba is focused on creating transdermal cannabinoid therapies for a multitude of illnesses, including fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, refractory epilepsy, Fragile X syndrome, and peripheral neuropathic pain. Their synthetic cannabidiol gel is currently in Phase 2 trials and showing efficacy in patients.

#5: Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB:CNBX)

Looking to help promote the use of cannabinoids in cancer treatments, Cannabics Pharmaceuticals is currently involved in clinical testing in Israel for palliative treatment using their proprietary capsules. The therapy is used to help promote appetite and weight-gain in patients with advanced-stage cancers.

#6: Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCPK:CBIS)

This Colorado Springs-based biotech firm is committed to creating effective cannabinoid-based therapies for a wide variety of ailments. Cannabis Science is developing treatments for skin cancer, HIV, PTSD, sleep disorders, and other neurobehavioral issues.

#7: Cure Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. (OTCQB:CURR)

Cure Pharmaceutical mainly focuses on developing drug delivery methods using their proprietary molecule makeup. Their flagship product, CureFilm, is a sublingual delivery method that can be used with a variety of different cannabinoid treatments.

#8: OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. (OTCQB:OWCP)

One World Cannabis (OWC) has several cannabis-based therapy products in development and on the market. Their tablets and topicals can be purchased across the globe, including the 29 states where medical cannabis has been legalized. The firm is also researching new treatments for multiple myeloma, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, migraine and PTSD.

#9: 22nd Century Group (NYSEMKT:XXII)

This biotechnology firm is a bit different than others on the list. 22nd Century Group uses genetic engineering to modify nicotine molecules, and therefore reduce the harm caused by smoking. The company added cannabis as a focus in order to help develop cannabinoid-specific products, much like they have done in the past with nicotine.

#10: PharmaCyte Biotech Inc. (OTCQB:PMCB)

PharmaCyte is on the forefront of cannabinoid-based cancer and diabetes therapies. Their patented “Cell-in-a-Box” technology allows for live cells to be isolated within protective capsules and nourished – in this case, from cannabinoids. This targeted therapy may be used with many different diseases, exciting researchers and investors alike.
