CB1 Capital Management predicts Cannabis could disrupt the healthcare industry in a big way. The firm's Founding Partner and Chief Investment Officer Todd Harrison explains why he thinks medical marijuana will migrate from state dispensaries, to become medicine prescribed by doctors through insurance in the next decade.
Harrison says the only way the U.S. government would get their hands on the money in this market opportunity is through the FDA. "That's where we think it goes, follow the money," says Harrison.
"This is not so much a trade about commerce, as it is a trade about healthcare," said Harrison. "We think that this is going to migrate towards medicine." One of CB1 Capital Management's holdings GW Pharmaceuticals is up 30 percent over the past three months. Harrison expects this company to publish research showing the efficacy of cannabis treatment this summer.

Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger. Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries. A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.
