Speculation that the Task Force on Marijuana Legalization and Regulation report will kickstart a multi-billion dollar legal recreational market is a major reason for a recent frenzy in pot stocks — which has led to massive volatility in share prices of Canada’s publicly-traded licensed producers.

The federal government has committed to introducing legislation in the spring of 2017. The Parliamentary Budget Office has projected legal sales of recreational cannabis might begin as early as January 2018, and analysts have been using that as a benchmark. The task force report is being translated, which is expected to be completed in mid-December. It will then be turned over to Cabinet and made public.
