CANNABIS COMPANIES - investing in medical marihuana and industrial hemp stocks

[swissaustrian]

The age of cannabis is coming: Farmsubsidies will shrink and the market will choose hemp instead of corn and sugar for ethanol. Medical advantages of marihuana are largely known, but big pharma does´nt use it - because it´s too cheap. But we can see some changes evolving. Big government, special priviledges for corporate giants and drug prohibition will eventually disappear - probably because of government bankruptcies, but this does´nt matter. Finally, the market wins!

There are already some small listed companies doing business in industrial hemp and medical marihuana.
Here is an overview that i made because i´m planning to invest in cannabis stocks. I hope some of you might consider this information useful Maybe you know other companies that i didn´t find

True. But if you look at the companies above than you'll see that they do serious business. Cannabis is so much more than a drug. It has a ton of applications.

[Seraphim]

I disagree

I actually made a 50% return in two days with MJNA.. penny stock.. just flipped it.. I have a friend who threw 500 at it just for kicks and hes gonna leave it in there long term. He's down over 50% right now, though.... he bought it at 17 cents or so and its down to 7 cents. I bought at 12 and sold at 18 cents during a period when it was making big swings. I just read the chart and took a risk that worked out well, fortunately. I even made a thread (maybe 6 months ago) about the stock and how it was making big swings that people could make (or lose) a lot of money off of.

Tommy Chong, Joe Rogan, Willie Nelson, and many others would disagree.

[Arklatex]

if you take out the system/bureaucracy (how life should really be)

it would be so cheap and widespread that there would be no money in it.

It is fun and easy to grow, the ladies make so many seeds they are free.

So the best investment would be pocketing 100 seeds and dropping in your soil, and reap your organic, natural, sacramental or healthy beautiful reward from the earth and sun. It's one of the best companion plants and improves soil quality in stark contrast with maize/corn.

If I were going the investment route I'd recommend acres of land, doesn't even need to be very fertile. Of course our governments would lock us up.

I was watching these when Cali was voting on legalizing weed. They had some big jumps, but fell straight back down after the vote failed. You just have to be smart when you get into these, watch the news and make sure to get out quick.

They have enough money to be labeled stoners.

But... stoners and hippies have no money.

That's a fucking myth.

Go to east side Santa Cruz some time and find out how much the houses there cost.

Cannabis is also the US' biggest cash crop:
