If you think it's too late to be investing in marijuana stocks, think again.
According to the National Institute for Cannabis Investors, legal marijuana was a $10.8 billion market in 2018. But by 2029, it's estimated the market could hit a whopping $2.6 trillion in annual sales.
That's growth of 23,974%. For the entire industry.
But how do you choose the right marijuana stocks to buy? There are hundreds of companies, many with tiny valuations, all trying to vie for your investment dollars.
Many are legitimate businesses, trying to break into one of the fastest-growing industries the world has ever seen. However, many others are just trying to take advantage of unwitting investors. These companies often have very small market caps and trade on "over the counter" exchanges or on the Pink Sheets.
One of the safest ways to invest in burgeoning industries like marijuana is to find the biggest, most stable companies in the sector.
Below, you'll find a list of the 50 biggest companies currently operating in the marijuana space, according to the National Institute for Cannabis Investors. Note, not all of these are traditional "marijuana stocks." Some are large biotech or pharmaceutical companies entering the sector.
And after the list, I'll show you one of the best marijuana stocks to buy for 2020.
