Marijuana is still illegal within US borders on a federal level, but with Canada legalizing it in October of 2018, many believe that the United States will follow in the near future.
The notion is that President Trump will not move to legalize it anytime soon if at all. And with this speculation, Short sellers have room to play with whether prices may be overly inflated.
