Investing in Marijuana Stocks 101
There are two things you need to know about the amount of money to spend on marijuana stocks.
First, there's no minimum amount to spend, and prices vary based on the value of each company's shares.
Marijuana stocks are just like other stocks, and you can purchase as many shares as you'd like. If a cannabis stock trades for $1 per share, a $100 investment (not including broker fees) would give you 100 shares.

However, most marijuana stocks are penny stocks, which are notoriously risky.
If you buy a penny stock, there's a chance you could lose all your hard-earned money. There's also no guarantee that the stock price will automatically climb.
Just like any other stock price, the price of a marijuana stock could rise, fall, or remain flat.
Second, because some of these stocks can be riskier than a blue-chip stock or ETF (which are also risky), you shouldn't invest more than you can afford to lose.
Your investments in marijuana stocks shouldn't be money you will need to use tomorrow or money from an emergency fund.
