Marijuana Stocks?

Sort by newest Sort by date
Seems kind of silly to spend Billions (Taxpayer) in advertising over the past 50 years to reduce the number of smokers in this country to turn around and legalize another form of smoking.
Please, no arguments about one being worse than the other.

But then again I am all about letting folks live their lives as they see fit.

I hope not because I have known many people that were heavy users and it really messed up their lives, not for leading to hard drugs but for the loss of desire to do anything else, just get high, eat and have sex. The loss of the desire to succeed and accept responsibility left them in some kind of limbo a terrible thing that took everything from them and their families. A little is fun but all day will kill your soul.+

I don't smoke, but food and sex are my top 2 priorities in life anyway :D
 
If you drink alcohol and drive you tear along at 80 in a 60 zone - if you smoke maryjane you drive at 40 in a 60 zone - either way you are a danger. And the cops target you easily driving at 40. If you hit a tree at 40 you'll live - if you hit a tree at 80 you can kiss your grits goodbye.
 
My thought is that marijuana stocks will be a slow growth venture that would be best complimented by purchasing shares of Nabisco or Frito Lays. I also forecast that stock in companies that market video games will see higher growth.

On a serious note, E-cigarette sells will skyrocket once they start mass producing THC atomizer cartridges to fit them. Take a few hits, change cartridges, and then have a cig.
 
I will be the first to admit that Pot is a gateway substitute to help one quit cigarettes painlessly and without relapse...Whereas, Alcohol will more than likely encourage one to continue smoking cigarettes and weakens willpower.



As a side note:..There will always be people for legal pot use and there will always be people against it..just like people are for or against cigarettes and alcohol....Just do what you are comfortable with as long as it don't infringe on anybody's elses space.
 
No. It is not legal to smoke, ingest, sell or possess. States have no authority over the substance. Sorry, fire alarm. Have to evacuate.

Not up to States, or voters.

No sir, it is not legal in this country:

Marijuana is not "legalizable" by States, lower forms of government, or by popular votes - only the Federal government (presently the FDA) has a say - no one else. Why on earth would a voter have a say? Does a voter have any scientific background in Pharmacology? Would you want to have a vote on smoking some other substance - say tiger brains - that you also know nothing about? The fact is, there are lots of fact-based issues that voters have opinions on - it doesn't mean that they understand the science or costs - or get to vote on any of them. They don't.

States can pass bills and issue ballots until the cows come home; and marijuana shall remain illegal unless the Federal government changes authorities over such substances - which no one is proposing. There is also pre-employment screening tests and random tests thereafter, for some Federal positions (the presidency not being one, apparently) - and it doesn't (and won't) matter what State you are in. You won't get the job to begin with, or if you do - and smoke thereafter and get caught, you will be gone - permanently.

As for alleged medicinal properties - inhaling burnt, unprocessed, unrefined, plant material, of unaccessed potency - and doing so ad libitum without the supervision or prescription of a physician, is certainly the least healthy mode of administering a medication.
 
blah, blah...pot is not legal...blah,blah,blah

Now I know why you have chosen the name 'Amoeba'...Because obviously in a one cell organism, this don't leave much room for any brain cells...

Re: Not up to States, or voters.

Thanks for explaining, Amoeba. I wondered about the employment drug screening issues. If what you say is true, and federal law prohibits cannabis useis in all 50 states, then there's not much chance of getting around a flunked test.

BTW - I sold my weed (CBIS) earlier this week for a quick and handsome $500 profit. Can't wait to see the preacher grin when I drop an extra U.S. Grant in the plate.
 
Re: Not up to States, or voters.

It isn't what I say:

It is what the Controlled Substances Act says, and what is on Schedule 1 of it (substances with high potential for abuse, no medical benefit); smoked marijuana is on that list. There are significant penalties for possession, use, sale, of such materials. And, there are significant medical risks and associated Public consequences and costs of dealing with such risks.

It is one thing to blow your horn on this forum (myself included); quite another when our POTUS fails to consistently enforce laws - or even understand the functioning of government in the first place. Not entirely unexpected given his youth.

As to the OP (original post) on the advisability of investing in marijuana, that depends ultimately on not the short-term relaxation of enforcement, but on an expectation of a fundamental change in the approval process of foods and drugs at the Federal level.

I, for one, don't expect that to happen anytime soon or ever.

It would certainly be an interesting legal test to see if Public investment would be allowed on a product which is banned by Federal law, since stocks are a form of interstate commerce.
 
Re: Not up to States, or voters.

I'm out but good for you if you were "holding" today. Double-didge gains in HEMP, CBIS, MWIP, MJNA, CANV and TRTC. Just finding a little amusement in my not-very-productive, down Friday.
 
Re: Not up to States, or voters.

Growing your own is so easy with good seed - why buy when most will end up home grown - there will be limited commerce in my opinion.

It's all according to what kind of product they are putting out in the store. If it's shake then yea I can see people growing it at the house. If they actually put good strains out at a competitive price then that's different story. Growing is complicated and takes time if your wanting quality. Inside the house takes chemicals and light schedules while outside you would have to worry about your neighbor topping your crop. To much hassle when you could just go down to the 7-11 and getting a carton of green stick icky.
 
HO,BRAH ! Hawaii could make some choke da kine, if can. :nuts:

But, it's not going to happen anytime soon. We have passed laws for medicinal use, but we don't have any legal dispensaries. Sometimes we do things ass backwards over here.

We should have kept the pineapple and sugarcane exports, but instead, landowners sold all the good land to the evil 5 growing GMO crap.

A couple of meaningless pennystocks doesn't equate to legality.

This "medical" marijuana is just testimony to how easily voters were hood-winked by bullsh!t; and consequently; how easily a few inexperienced POTUS's turned a blind eye to the health risk.

This will pass - meaning - the Federal government will step in and enforce the Controlled Substances Act - putting the industry back where it belongs - with criminals who peddle dope to the young and poor. Unfortunately - it will now take a few years - first, to elect a POTUS with an ounce of common sense, and second - to re-educate a duped (and somewhat doped-up) public.

The SEC isn't going to bother with any of this unless it becomes significant money. Which I doubt it will.

To anyone who voted for this crap (even though you don't have the right to vote on drugs or food) - I have only this to add:

Shame on you all.
