Why Marijuana Stocks Popped Today

Two days after Wednesday's vice presidential debate, marijuana stocks are on a tear -- and that's no coincidence.

For the second day in a row, shares of Canopy Growth (NYSE: CGC) -- already the biggest marijuana stock on the block at a $6.6 billion market cap -- are up. In 11:15 a.m. EDT trading Friday, Canopy stock gained 2.4%. Smaller players including Hexo Corp (NYSE: HEXO), Curaleaf (OTC: CURLF) and Charlotte's Web (OTC: CWBHF) are rising as well, up 2.3%, 9.1%, and 9.5%, respectively.
