The Best Marijuana Stocks to Buy in 2018
These pot stocks all have one big thing in common: location

In case you hadn't noticed, the marijuana industry is absolutely on fire. According to cannabis research firm ArcView, the North American legal weed industry grew by 34% in 2016 to $6.9 billion, and is expected to grow by an average of 26% per year through 2021. If ArcView's estimates come to fruition, the legal weed market would be worth $21.6 billion in North America by 2021. This sort of rapid and consistent growth is incredibly difficult to find, which is why investors have flocked to marijuana stocks in recent years.

However, the marijuana industry is somewhat disjointed. An investor can't just throw a dart and pick a winner, because the industry is thriving in some countries while struggling mightily in others.

Pot sales now legal in California, but you can't find it everywhere yet

Strange Year for California, usual debts, IT bubbles, illegals, drugs, shooting, political corruption, droughts, fires, but here is what is strange from Hollywood --- to creepy, rapist, pedo Hollyweird ....Weinstein stuff in the movie industry?... now to a Dutch European Portland Netherland HOLLY-WEED State

Oscars will be interesting this year

maybe someone knows the Laws of this State much better than I do? I think they had a 'Liberal' attitude for some time. You could perhaps grow or own or smoke a certain amount before but it was only illegal if you got caught? Medical pot or medicinal use of weed started in 1996 you had some kind of prescription paper?

Economics? Jobs? Hemp, pharmaceuticals? more than $5 billion or a destination for pot-loving tourists? industry in the United States is expected to grow from $2 billion in 2014 to as much as $10 billion in 2018, depending on legalization outcomes

prohibition? strangely enough alcohol cigarettes even though they might have been once banned do not support weed, they see cannabis as a threat to their industries?

Spain, North Korea yes the dictatorship of the North Koran DPRK, Czech Republic, Colombia, Jamaica, Canda, Puerto Rico, Cambodia, Uruguay, Netherlands/Holland and now USA it is legal to smoke?

I may well be wrong: I thought Pot was legal in CA for decades!

Reportedly, we had huge farms of it in the northwest part of the state.

My former next-door-neighbor had a prescription for it, as well he should.
He & his bro built a handsome little greenhouse on his lot, and the plants
were usually in there, tho sometimes they came out in the yard for fresh air
or to show themselves off.

... oooOO}{OOooo ...

It's about time that it was legalized. I wish the Federal government would get over it's Hoover-inspired "reefer madness" approach.

As far as the long-term negative effects, MOST psychoactive drugs shouldn't be used regularly by anyone under 18-25 anyway, and that includes tobacco, alcohol, and cough syrup. The long-term effects of pot dependence are mild compare to opioid dependence.

One of the good aspects of the new law is that you're allowed to grow five plants per person. The reason why that's a good thing is that pot has often been laced with other things, and the concentration of THC varies wildly.

I never cared for pot, and IMHO the new strains of pot are too strong. Have gotten contact high from ppl in the same room; for me the experience was always unpleasant. I wish that someone would develop "heirloom" varieties of pot that would dial back the concentration of THC to 5%.

Didn't bother watching the long term effects of smoking pot video since it's ridiculous. Dude just got old, and he looks like he has scratches on his nose and a legion on his forehead. The before picture looks right out of college and the after picture looks like a mug shot.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with smoking pot.

Certainly not anything you couldn't say double for smoking cigarettes or drinking booze.

To me, this is the most important part of any legalization laws. Otherwise, legalizing it is just a blatant cash grab.

Growing your own tobacco for personal use would be as stupid as growing your own potatoes. Even at the asenine prices they charge after taxes, with the amount you'd smoke you'd have to turn your whole back yard into a field and then you've got to deal with your neighbors bitching and people stealing or damaging it, not to mention all of the work.

Growing pot OTOH is pretty low-profile and simple, and if you're a light smoker like me who only takes a few hits a day when I am using, 5 plants would be enough for me and I could just be giving a lot away or even trading for things I need.

I'm actually shocked that California is allowing this.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

You mention tourism. Not sure how that will work out. Which visitors want their Disney ride operated by a pothead?

This thread certain to be a Libtard slang echo chamber.

Chances are that half the rides at Disney World are operated by "potheads".

Not a Democrat. Not a Libtard. There's nothing wrong with pot.

It's not even a partisan issue. There are plenty of Republicans and Independents who support legalizing pot.

Sounds like a few days ago AG Sessions announced he is rescinding ObamaDrone policy of not prosecuting Federal Drug charges against potheads.
Although there is nowhere in America where pot is legal, outside of Indian Reservations, now some states have provided useful gathering points to collect and arrest users and buyers.
