Companies such as Canopy Growth, Aurora Cannabis, Tilray, and Cronos all saw declines of at least 7%. By comparison, the broader stock market averages were mostly higher, with the NASDAQ Composite surging more than 2% early Wednesday.
The stark declines in the marijuana space come after nearly 70% of voters in New Jersey voted to make marijuana legal for recreational purposes.
“We did it, New Jersey!” Gov. Phil Murphy tweeted Tuesday night. “Public Question #1 to legalize adult-use marijuana passed overwhelmingly tonight, a huge step forward for racial and social justice and our economy. Thank you to @NJCAN2020 and all the advocates for standing on the right side of history.”
Arizona, Montana, and South Dakota also voted to legalize marijuana on Tuesday, joining 11 other states and Washington, D.C., in making weed legal.
