The election season is starting to heat up, and that means only one thing– time to buy some votes.

This past week it was confirmed that both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) want to reschedule cannabis to “Schedule 3.”
It needs to be confirmed by the DEA, but it appears that before the election hits in November, it’s going to be a lot easier to score some weed.
This is a clear political play. Biden’s team has had this in their back pocket for 4 years and are now looking to play it to try and shore up a voter base into November.
This catalyst is still very early, and it’s one where it will take a while before all the upside is squeezed out of the sector.
The cannabis sector has a ton of potential, but it’s still riddled with risks.
Illegal operations are still squeezing out market share. The cartels have set up illegal cannabis grows across the country, stealing water, and threatening farmers that complain.

There are still substantial banking barriers in the cannabis space. Due to dealing with a schedule 1 drug, these companies do not have access to traditional banking accounts and have to rely on cash payments.
This also means institutional capital can’t buy these companies due to that financial risk– that’s why these stocks may not move hard until the rescheduling is finalized.
One more issue: legal competition is fierce. It’s called “weed” for a reason, because it grows fast and doesn’t require a ton of maintenance.
Many cannabis companies only have an edge due to regulations, and once the shakeup happens then we will find out who are the true winners.
With these kinds of risks, the sector is a tough play… but there is an overlooked corner of the cannabis ecosystem that captures these upsides without any of the downside risks.
The smartest bet isn’t on the product, but on the ecosystem.
It’s like investing in Caterpillar (CAT) if you think industry is going to boom.
Or buying Cloudflare (NET) if the tech industry is about to spend cash.
In the cannabis space, there are companies that provide services to the growers. These are the “picks and shovels” stocks that will sell to everyone– that means they can ride the sector tailwinds early.
There are a few times when the cannabis sector was a “screaming buy.” March 2020 was one of those times– and corporate insiders knew it.
Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) is a cannabis ecosystem bet. They sell “grow space” to the cannabis companies.
