I know everyone says you shouldn't smoke marijuana as a kid. It causes brain development issues and all that. Well, we smoked it quite a bit.

In an age of advancing medical science and analysis, many professionals are willing to take a different look at substances once dogged by society due to the influence of political and commercial interests. After realizing the medical benefits and general harmlessness of cannabis through deeper study, some states have decided to allow its recreational use.

So the main reason to get into the marijuana industry now is so you can get it at a cheap price. For the next three months, the companies will not report their statistics until the quarter is complete. When this happens, expect an increase in the price of the marijuana stock(s).
