One of the most important developments in the history of the U.S. marijuana industry hit the headlines just before the Easter holiday. Canadian cannabis giant Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) announced that once legalization is passed, it will buy a U.S.-based marijuana company called Acreage Holdings (OTCMKTS:ACRGF).

Acreage already operates in 20 U.S. states, and was one of the first to tackle the East Coast market. Founder and CEO Kevin Murphy is a Wall Street transplant — and incredibly well connected. Acreage’s board includes three of the most important people on the planet: former U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner, former Massachusetts governor and current presidential candidate William Weld, and former Prime Minister of Canada Brian Mulroney.

Acreage has another advantage: the ability to manufacture and distribute on a national scale. That’s thanks to its late-2018 acquisition of Form Factory.

Canopy has already created billions in wealth for its shareholders, as you can see in the chart below. Imagine what it can do as the biggest player in the much-larger U.S. market.

With marijuana illegal in the United States, pot stocks based here are still in the earlier part of that chart. The legal limitations result in the stocks trading at a major discount to their Canadian peers (for the moment). So, let’s take a look at some of our highest-quality options.
