This Medical Marijuana Stock Just Took A Big Step Forward

GW Pharmaceuticals just reported great news for its cannabinoid drug Epidiolex. An FDA Advisory Committee just unanimously recommended that the FDA approve the cannabis-based drug. This would be the first marijuana-based drug to be approved in the United States if the FDA follows the recommendation. This would be a big step forward for medical marijuana. A new marijuana drug on the market means another shift in the gradual societal move toward accepting marijuana for medical purposes.

Does this make GW Pharmaceuticals the marijuana stock to buy now?

Maybe. There are a lot of moving parts, and the drug has both Epidiolex and another cannabis drug named Sativex on the market in Europe. The uncertainty of a US launch, plus a $3.8 billion market cap largely buoyed by investor enthusiasm around marijuana stocks means the stock is priced for perfection.
