Welcome to THE 2018 GRAND SALAMI board, jwind1 It depends on how you define "closely" but yes Hemp should be alone (relatively speaking) in the spotlight for months and hemp legalization is a high probability event As far as probabilities go... Hemp legalization 80% Epidiolex FDA approval 90% MJ Rescheduled to Schedule 2 before election 60% (given that the first 2 events have already occurred) --- So the prospects of a 2018 HEMP MANIA and a 2018 HEMP BEVERAGE SUPERMANIA are excellent and the timeline would be Spring/Summer The prospects of a full blown MJ Sector Mania are comparatively not quite as good and the timeline for that would be Summer/Fall VATE & SIPC Sleek
