Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:06 PM on Tuesday, June 17th, 2014

Whitefish, MT / June 17, 2014 / The Marijuana Index(tm) traded roughly even last week, although the sector remains well below its highs achieved earlier this year.

Top gainers included Fusion Pharm Inc. (OTC: FSPM), which rose more than 70% last week driven by technical trading, and Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. (OTC: NDEV), which rose over 13% last week after making some executive appointments. Top losers included Extreme Biodiesel Inc. (OTC: XTRM) and IMD Companies Inc. (OTC: ICBU), which both fell more than 10% last week.

Cannabis regulatory initiatives also continued to pick up steam last week. In the U.S., Colorado announced the largest grant yet to be dedicated to medical marijuana research. Internationally, Mexico’s president indicated that the country may follow the U.S.’s lead when it comes to legalizing cannabis. Change may be happening slowly, but it appears to be headed towards liberalization over the long run.
