Four Marijuana Stocks Raising The Bar On Monday

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 4, 2019 / The marijuana stock market has managed to consistently garner significant amounts of attention over the course of the last few months, as the movement towards legal cannabis has made substantial progress. Across the country, a majority of US states have passed legislation effectively legalizing the recreational use of cannabis for its residents. In turn, these legislative efforts have resulted in economic boosts to the cannabis sector. As we move towards the future, the hope is that the federal government takes notice of the potential opportunities presented by federally legalizing marijuana, and if this takes place, we may see a massive influx of investors looking to the cannabis sector. Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI), Trulieve Cannabis Corp (OTC PINK: TCNNF) (TRUL), Tilray Inc (TLRY), and Canopy Growth Corp (NYSE:CGC) represent 4 marijuana stocks heating up on Monday.

Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) is developing innovative approaches that combine human skill-based expertise with state-of-the-art technologies to allow for the further development of their healthcare framework, which currently boasts a patient network of over 100,000 active patients.

Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) last week announced the launch of at technology-enabled mental health counseling service for patients in urban centers and remote and underserved populations. Dr. Tahmeena Ali and Dr. Robert McKenzie are two Vancouver-based family physicians with extensive experience in mental health care and will be championing the initiative. Mental health has become something of a taboo to discuss, let alone seek treatment, and Premier is taking the steps to help their patients receive the care they need.

Following the announcement, Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI), commented, "it's disheartening to hear that 1 in 5 people in Canada will personally experience a mental health problem or illness and due to the lack of accessibility to care providers, we are failing to meet the needs of mental health care provision. Having the ability to offer virtual mental health counseling services is pivotal to our patient-centric app. Through my own practice, I have encountered a significant number of teens and young adults who would much rather use virtual services from the comfort of their home than come in person and wait in a busy waiting room to talk about their mental health."
