06/01/2020
With legalization sweeping the nation, an untapped wealth of the American economy is being unveiled, and in our capitalist society, investing is the risky temptress for anyone looking to expand their wealth.
Investing can mean several things, and you can invest in a number of ways. Buying and selling real estate is a form of investment, funding a small business is an investment, giving your cousin $20 so that they can set up a lemonade stand is an investment. However, the kind of investment we are talking about is the kind with ringing bells, men in suits scrambling and a jagged line people pray keeps heading up. Investing is a daunting venture, and with cannabis such a new market, it is hard- some say impossible- to determine the climate and changes of the stocks created by the industry. Unlike other industries: oil, pharmaceuticals, medical research, etc. These have been around so long that they can be somewhat predicted, like a form of divination grown from years of experience.
The first thing to know when investing in the cannabis industry is to understand the cannabis market. Currently, marijuana is still not legal on a national level so investing means investing through states where it is legal. Alongside that, cannabis does not only produce marijuana, bud, concentrates etc. It produces hemp which is used for a myriad of products as well as CBD, which is legal on a national level. Understanding the complexity of the market; that you are investing in the whole from seed to plant to any variety of end results. Investing in cannabis is not just investing in the smoking of marijuana, but the medicinal side, clothing and paper made from hemp, and so much more.
The next is to explore the different cannabis stocks to invest in. Like selecting a new type of soap at a grocery store, you must examine your options, your budget, and your needs. You can invest in marijuana growers, biotechnology and research, stocks that deal only with CBD, and more. It is important to understand exactly where your money is going before throwing it in the pot.
While investing may seem risky, and there is a chance you may not gain anything. It is research and understanding the things above that will make all the difference. The versatility of cannabis makes it something that someone from just about every walk of life could invest in. One of the most important things to remember with investing in anything is that it is a long game. Do not get discouraged by the short-term downfalls. The most success and growth is seen by those who steady the course and wait.
Some stocks involve marijuana dispensaries & marijuana delivery so with states that are legal, if sales are up, your stock should follow.
