    Investing in Cannabis?

    Strange idea, when you're thinking about investing into a stock that's main business revolves around a federally illegal substance.

    Most of these stocks are priced at a point where you can jump in for a little. I actually usually get burned when I mess around in the penny stock area. Although there are a few that aren't "penny" per se.

    Anyway, there is this oil concentrate stuff that seems to be sweeping the markets in every location where it is "legalized" both medically or otherwise. The dispensaries literally can't stay in stock. Hottest selling items by far are those that revolve around vaporizing. Especially on the go. Essentially allowing you to get stoned in public, while making it look like you're smoking an ecig at best. Next to zero odor. Zero when you consider what you just smoked. And a lot more potent than just pure flower.

    There are maybe 2 companies that dominate this market, and I was curious what the heads here thought about investing into company based heavily in a federally illegal substance.

    The real, practical issue, is the main companies I want to invest are OTC. Which runs into illiquidity issues, in my experience at least.

    The prices of these stocks have really tanked in value over the last few months,its way to risky for my taste. There are better options out there if you are looking into invest in a small cap stock with a high risk and return.

    Vaporizers are facing legal battles on their own right. But I'd still invest in the field. Small loses possible with decent ROI make it worth the risk.

    the safest play by far is GWPH but you've missed most of the run up. That's the company to pay attention to.

    it's cool but you're talking pennies compared to the real potential of cannabis which is in medicine.

    Where are you living? Due to state laws and federal issues, the stuff I find works best will without doubt have a different name depending where you are at. It's this company that I want to invest in.

    The general patent for the device is based out of Colorado.

    Absolutely.

    For some reason, this post just sent my mind off on a tangent. Thanks.

    as a grower/seller people do not want wax, oil, hash, or e cigs. They just want the weed.

    There is chain of stores now offering e-cigs only, adjusting them to your specific taste.
