With a population size of 740 million people, Europe’s population dwarfs both Canada and the U.S combined. The sizable growth the cannabis industry has had over the past 12 months can be attributed to six countries that have announced medical cannabis legalization.

So far, over €500.0M has been invested in European cannabis businesses (Prohibition Partners, 2019). It is predicted that Europe over the next five years will be the largest legal cannabis market in the world and could be worth up to €123.0B by 2028. Today we have identified four Canada-listed cannabis stocks with promising operations in the European Union (EU).
