The first marijuana ETF is expected to trade on April 5, 2017, on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE), in what is the biggest news for the marijuana industry this week.

It's called Horizons Medical Marijuana Life Sciences ETF, and it will trade under the symbol HMMJ. The Horizon ETF will hold North American-listed companies involved with medical marijuana production and bioengineering.

This is a story that we've been following closely for Money Morning members.

But a marijuana ETF can limit losses, maximize upside, and offer a safer way to play the $6.7 billion North American cannabis market.
