Although the majority of U.S.-based cannabis companies and many foreign American Depository Receipts (ADRs) trade over the counter (OTC), a few marijuana companies are traded on the NASDAQ. Some investors prefer stocks that are listed on the NASDAQ to other exchanges due to their increased liquidity and tighter spreads compared to the over-the-counter markets. For example, as the cannabis industry has grown in recent months and years, uplisting from an OTC market to a reputable U.S. exchange has become a banner achievement for many rising marijuana companies.
An increasing number of marijuana companies are being listed on reputable U.S. exchanges rather than being traded on the OTC market reflecting the rapid growth of the cannabis industry.
NASDAQ-listed Marijuana Stocks

The cannabis companies on the NASDAQ reflect this, and the majority of them operate in the biotech area of the industry. Here are the NASDAQ-listed marijuana stocks, in alphabetical order, as of June 10, 2019, with a breakdown of their total returns.
