From the street to the clinic. Cannabis had the image of an illegal street drug in most rich countries since the prohibition in the USA in the 1930s. Although cannabis has been used as a medicinal plant for more than 1,000 years, the past decades have been marked by other pharmaceutical products. The market and attitudes towards cannabis are now changing. Doctors, patients, companies and investors see opportunities to profit from this development.

    Education is the key to success

    Education and research are often the beginning of a success story. In order for development to progress, knowledge and education are an elementary basis for medical change with cannabis. Doctors, patients and companies must work together to test and evaluate the effects of cannabis in medicine.

    With increasing experience and information in databases the acceptance of cannabis in medicine will increase. Thus the use of medical cannabis preparations can be suggested by physicians or simply demanded by patients.

    Improvement of the quality of life

    The use of and experiences with cannabis products are characterized by objective and subjective characteristics. For example, a cannabis product may cause a patient to sleep much better but not to feel any improvement in pain relief. The bottom line, however, is that the quality of life has subjectively increased due to improved sleep.

    Such developments in practice ensure that cannabis products are accepted in medicine. In this context, however, it is important that patients have easy access to medical cannabis products and also that doctors know what they are prescribing for which therapies.

    Opportunities for investors

    Also the companies invest in the development of the cannabis market and here especially experience counts. Aurora Cannabis, EXMceuticals and also Tilray have different approaches and strategies to conquer the market for cannabis products.

    For investors there is the opportunity to participate in the listed companies to be part of it. Even if the share prices of most cannabis companies have been declining in recent months, the trend in use and therapy will continue. It will probably only be a matter of time when this development will be reflected in the stock market prices again.

    While the US appeared to be heading for a trade war with China on Friday, US President Donald Trump posted a message on his social media platform, "Truth Social", on Sunday, giving a slight all-clear. But is this really the end of the dispute between the world's two largest economies? Hardly. In fact, the battle for critical raw materials is likely to intensify in the coming months, if not years, meaning Western producers could benefit disproportionately.

    Market volatility continues to rise, yet the US stock markets are still managing to defend their record highs. The price of silver made a comeback last week, closing above the USD 38 mark after several weeks of sideways movement.
