CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2019 / The introduction of the healthcare sector into marijuana stock market indicates a significant shift in the trajectory of both fields.

Over the past few years, cannabis companies have continued to release new products with medical cannabis for the purpose of improving the quality of treatment options available for consumers in the healthcare space. If companies in both the healthcare and cannabis sectors continue to collaborate, this may generate potentially lucrative opportunities for investors looking to new markets.
