No one can time when a SEC suspension or halt will come. One thing is for sure, If a company is full of deceit and fraud a SEC suspension is always possible.

Especially in mj stocks....

Why would the SEC suspend trading in
a stock?
The SEC may suspend trading in a stock when the
Commission is of the opinion that a suspension is
required to protect investors and the public interest.
Circumstances that might lead the Commission to
suspend trading include:
• A lack of current, accurate, or adequate
information about the company, for example,
when a company is not current in its filings of
periodic reports;
• Questions about the accuracy of publicly
available information, including in company press
releases and reports, about the company’s current
operational status, financial condition, or business
transactions;
• Questions about trading in the stock, including
trading by insiders, potential market manipulation,
and the ability to clear and settle transactions in
the stock.
