In recent months, the society around the globe has been going through a process of change of deceleration and standstill. Priorities have been redefined and implemented at record speeds in many places. Covid-19 serves as a catalyst for change for many people. The reasons can be different. The development of corona vaccines and antibody tests will make a lot of money in the future and the legalization of cannabis in the USA on a federal level has the potential to create a renaissance.

    Legalization in the USA is expected

    Medical cannabis is already legalized in 33 states in the USA and thus about 221 million people, about 67% of the total US population, have access to the natural substance. Fifty years ago, only about 12% of US citizens were in favor of legalizing marijuana, but since then the popularity has grown to 66%.

    In addition, the racism debate in the USA also plays a role in the legalization issue, because around 80% of arrests involving marijuana affect people with dark skin. For this reason, experts assume that a legalization of cannabis at the federal level will take place within the next two years - detached from the outcome of the elections in November 2020.

    Recovery of the cannabis industry expected

    In the tailwind of a legalization in the USA and the increasing use of cannabis in medicine, EXMceuticals and XPhyto will also grow. Both companies are active in the cannabis sector and thus part of the expanding eco-system of products, therapies and suppliers. The quality and individuality will become increasingly important.

    For this reason, it can be worthwhile to focus more on smaller companies than on the big players who try to cover the whole value chain with a lot of money. Usually too much complexity leads to inefficiency. Therefore, focused niche players can have an advantage.

    Vaccine can slow down Covid-19

    BioNTech also focuses on individuality, as the company is working on the development of individualized options for the treatment of cancer. In addition, the biotech company is currently working with Pfizer on the development of a vaccine against Covid-19 in order to be able to limit the spread of the pandemic. In view of the fact that new hotspots of spread are constantly emerging worldwide, the global demand for a vaccine is correspondingly high.

    Cantourage Group SE, Amazon, British American Tobacco: Stockpiling between medical innovation and dividend history

    • Cannabis
    • Healthcare
    • AI

    The Berlin-based company Cantourage, which specializes in the distribution of medical cannabis, is experiencing promising growth in the booming medical cannabis market. The global market for the plant's medical use is expected to have reached around USD 12.92 billion since 2021 and is projected to grow to USD 23.97 billion by 2028 at an average CAGR of 13.16%. Cantourage continues to expand its strong international distribution network with its innovative Fast Track Access platform. The Company even has a chance to win in the "Most Innovative Business Strategy" category at the 2023 European Small and Midcap Awards in November. Unlike other medical cannabis producers, Cantourage does not grow its own plants. Just as Uber doesn't own cars and AirBnB doesn't own hotels, Cantourage relies on strong distribution power in Healthcare. Healthcare is also attractive to Amazon again. Through mergers and acquisitions involving an online pharmacy and a thriving network of doctors, the US company is now investing in generative AI beyond ChatGPT. Meanwhile, historic dividend king British American Tobacco faces decline and bans.

    Canopy Growth, Cantourage Group, Aurora Cannabis - Will the price fireworks come after legalization?

    • Cannabis

    For a long time, there was little reason for cannabis investors to rejoice. However, since Bloomberg reported that the US Department of Health and Human Services has asked the DEA to downgrade cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3, hopes for legalization are reviving. This downgrade would mean that cannabis would no longer be on par with heroin or other hard drugs. Democrats also want to give businesses in this sector legal access to bank accounts. In Germany, the traffic lights have approved Health Minister Lauterbach's plans to legalize cannabis. We, therefore, look at three companies that are betting on cannabis.
