The UK stock market has slowly-gradually started allowing cannabis-related businesses to list. At present, only medical cannabis businesses that do research and development of drugs to treat different diseases are allowed for listing on the exchanges.
Businesses that operate in the cannabis segment have received a lot of attention and have attracted investment from private and institutional investors. Also, according to market experts, the cannabis-based market segment is still underpenetrated and has vast potential to grow in upcoming years.
