Watch This California Marijuana Stock Ahead of a $5 Billion Statewide Windfall

Recreational marijuana sales will be legal in the Golden State in January 2018, and one California marijuana stock is poised to cash in on the coming $5 billion windfall...

All cannabis use is legal in California right now, but dispensaries can't sell recreational marijuana just yet.

But when dispensaries in the state can sell both medical and recreational marijuana, the legal California cannabis market will be worth $5 billion annually. That's according to a study released on Feb. 23, 2017, by the University of California Agricultural Issues Center.

With legal marijuana sales in the United States and Canada expected to total $20 billion by 2020, California alone could account for 25% of all legal cannabis sales in North America.

Fortunately for Money Morning readers, it's not just California dispensary owners who will profit from the $5 billion industry - you can, too...
