Cannabis plants in field

It was a rise and shine kind of Tuesday for cannabis stocks. Marijuana stocks had strong momentum this morning then diverged as the day went on, ending the day on a fragmented note. 

While it may have been a summer rally for pot stocks, many are asking when and/or if the rally will end.

For now? Cannabis stocks show no sign of slowing down.

Alliance One International Inc (NYSE:AOI) stock boosted after its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, FIGR Inc, received permission from Health Canada to allow the sale of medicinal cannabis oils.

Shares were up a whopping 37.25% at US$23.95.

The permit was granted to a subsidiary of FIGR, Canada's Island Garden (CIG), which was given a sales license authorizing it to sell medicinal cannabis oil products.

"As the only licensed producer in Prince Edward Island, we can now participate in the derivative cannabis market by further expanding our product line for patients and offering an alternative to inhaled products," said CIG president Edwin Jewell.
