10 Worst Performing Marijuana Stocks in 2018

Marijuana stocks reportedly failed to deliver in 2018, despite numerous milestones seen across this growing industry- the Farm Bill, legalizing hemp and hemp-based cannabidiol oil in the U.S, were all signed into law allowing for legal growth in the industry.  Further, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first cannabis-derived drug, and Canada became the first industrialized country in the world to legalize recreational marijuana.

Despite these incredible strides, some pot stocks were down close 50% at the end of 2018, according to an article in Motley Fool in January.

The following is a list of 2018’s 10 worst-performing marijuana stocks, in descending order, according to that report.

  1. Namaste Technologies (NASDAQOTH:NXTTF): down 75.2%
  2. Wayland Group: down 67.6%
  3. Insys Therapeutics(NASDAQ:INSY): down 63.6%
  4. Aphria(NYSE:APHA): down 61.3%
