GW Pharmaceuticals
The global leader in the development of cannabinoid-based medicines.

AbbieVie Inc.
A pharmaceutical company currently marketing an DFA approved synthetic cannabis-based drug. Marinol alleviates nausea or vomiting for chemotherapy patients. The drug has also been effective with AIDS patients who have lost their appetite. While Marinol is a breakthrough drug, it's not AbbVie's flagship product or even their biggest seller.
Insys Therapeutics Inc

Their leadership team has accumulated decades of experience in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, life sciences, healthcare and Fortune 500 corporate management.
Scotts Miracle Gro
With a market cap in excess of $4.5 Billion, Scotts Miracle Gro is a serious entrant into the sector. A pioneer in the field of Hydroponics, SMG brings some serious financial muscle and business know how to the field of medical Cannabis. In April 2018 the company acquired Sunlight Supply in a deal estimated a $450 Million.
Commenting on the move, EuropeFX CEO Guy Illouz had this to say:
"The legalization of medical cannabis in the U.S. and the recent Cannabis Act passed in Canada have created a whole new sector for companies to operate in and for traders to invest in. While not a "mainstream" product, quoted companies active in the sphere of medical cannabis have to comply with the same regulatory guidelines as other companies listed on the same exchanges. Our clients have expressed keen interest in this sector and as a company we are dedicated to meeting and exceeding client expectations.
