Shares of major cannabis companies rallied Tuesday after New Jersey politicians outlined plans to legalize the adult use of recreational marijuana in the state.
If the bill is passed and signed into law, the New Jersey adult-use marijuana market would be governed by a Cannabis Regulatory Commission, composed of five members appointed by the governor. The commission will be tasked with promoting regulations to govern the industry and will oversee applications for licensing.
Cronos Group rallied 4.5 percent, Canopy Growth gained 3.7 percent, Tilray added 3.4 percent and Aurora rose 2.6 percent. Nine of the top 10 holdings of the $1.1 billion ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF — a fund that tracks the equity performance of many companies that legally cultivate cannabis — gained in midday trading Tuesday.
