The Catalyst We Need to Reignite the Marijuana Rally

by

The cannabis sector is experiencing extensive growth all over the world right now. The future looks even better, as consumers – particularly in North American recreational markets – are set to fork over $57 billion a year for their cannabis by 2027, according to Arcview Research.

But as bright and lucrative as the future prospects of marijuana are, there's no getting around the fact that right now is a pretty tough time to be a cannabis investor.

Consider that the $782 million ETF Managers Tierra XP Alternative Harvest ETF – the richest cannabis-heavy exchange-traded fund bought and sold in the United States – is down some 16.5% for the year.

Now, marijuana stocks are all affected to one degree or another by the domestic and international stressors pushing down stocks across the board, but it seems like all sorts of challenges have cropped up for an industry with such explosive potential.

So I'll tell you what I told folks at the recent National Institute for Cannabis Investors retreat that just wrapped up in Las Vegas: what's causing the trouble – and most importantly, when we can expect the juicy gains to start up again… Full Story

This Is the Last Chance to Get In on the Ground Floor of the Weed Banking Revolution

by

Call it the "Cannabis Gold Rush," or the "Green Rush," but however you slice it, it's one of the most exciting, lucrative investing stories of our time.

And it's far from over.

There's a lot to look forward to: Canada already legalized medical marijuana at the federal level and should make recreational puffing legal sometime later this year.

But here in the United States, we Yanks have stubbornly kept "reefer madness" away from society by keeping it illegal at the federal level, while states – lots of them – are bucking the feds to take advantage of the pot bonanza.

Nine states have already legalized recreational weed, and 29 have permitted medical use. Not to mention, 13 states have decriminalized marijuana, making getting caught with a little dope no more problematic than being late with a library book.

Growers, landowners, lab companies, farm supply companies, farm equipment manufacturers, and even packaging firms have rushed to the market to make money on "green gold."

Billions are being made, and taxes are being paid even with the dubious legality of the product.

And the flow of dollars will increase dramatically when we finally get marijuana off the federal controlled substances schedule at some point in the (hopefully near) future.

More than 70% of Americans favor marijuana legalization, and many states badly need the tax revenue that legalization would provide.

Still… the "linchpin" to all of this – the financial sector – is still waiting on the sidelines.

But that's about to change in a very big, massively profitable way - and you can ride these companies to - pun intended - absolutely dizzying heights...
