Ma*****na Stocks
Should you put your hard-earned money into ma*****na stocks? We detail the investment opportunities, risks, and regulations in the cannabis space.
The ma*****na industry is expected to triple in the next five years -- and many investors are looking to profit.

As states and entire countries decriminalize or legalize cannabis and/or its components, there are loads of opportunities for entrepreneurs and existing companies.

But as in any nascent industry, there are also loads of risks and bad actors. Whether you're a first-time investor or a seasoned veteran, it pays to understand all of the moving parts.

This guide will get you up to speed quickly.

How to Invest in Ma*****na Stocks
Follow these seven steps if you're thinking about buying cannabis stocks. The following is a summary, but we encourage you to read the entire article linked below for all the details.

1. Understand the types of ma*****na products.

There are two types of cannabis products: medical ma*****na vs. recreational ma*****na.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid that is different than the psychoactive delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
2. Know the different types of ma*****na stocks.

Ma*****na growers like Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE:CGC)
Cannabis-focused biotechs like GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:GWPH)
Providers of supporting products and services like Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE:SMG)
3. Understand the risks of investing in ma*****na stocks.

Legal and political risks
Supply/demand imbalances
Risk in those that are over-the-counter stocks
4. Know what to look for in a ma*****na stock.

Normal stock considerations, including:
Management team
Growth strategy
Competitive position
Financials (ideally either profitability or strong balance sheet)
Cannabis production costs
"All-in" cost of sales per gram
Cash cost per gram
For Canadian companies, the extent of international operations and distribution
Dilution risks via warrants and convertible securities
5. Evaluate the top ma*****na stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Ma*****na growers like Canopy Growth, Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB), Tilray(NASDAQ:TLRY), and Aphria (NYSE:APHA)
Biotechs like GW Pharmaceuticals, Cara Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CARA), and Insys Therapeutics (NASDAQ:INSY)
Ancillary providers like Scotts Miracle-Gro
ETFs like Horizons Ma*****na Life Sciences ETF (NASDAQOTH:HMLSF) and ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF (NYSEMKT:MJ)
6. Invest carefully.

For many, avoiding individual investments in the ma*****na space entirely is the right call.
For those who buy in, keeping your ma*****na exposure to a small percentage of your overall portfolio limits your risk.
Pure plays are riskier than more diversified plays.
7. Monitor changing industry dynamics closely.

Laws, regulations, competitive forces, and the business strategies of the companies themselves will all change rapidly over time.

Commonly Confused Cannabis Terms
One of the difficulties in understanding the ma*****na industry is the jargon. Fortunately, it's not too complicated once you get a handle on a few main terms.

Ma*****na vs. cannabis

Cannabis is the scientific name of the plant (the genus that houses three species). For an investor's purposes, ma*****na is synonymous with cannabis, as are more informal nicknames like pot, w**d, g***a, dope, grass, 420, sticky icky, etc.

CBD vs. THC

Cannabis is made up of nearly 500 chemical constituents, including many dozens of cannabinoids (substances that act on the body's cannabinoid receptors).

The two most commercially relevant of these cannabinoids are delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Only THC is psychoactive (i.e., makes you high).

H**p

H**p is a strain of a species of cannabis with relatively low levels of THC and relatively high levels of CBD. It has many industrial uses like providing fibers to make rope and clothing.
