The Premise
On a recent edition of The Puff Provisions Podcast (coming soon), Mike, Darrell and I touch base on all things Cannabis and off the cuff we decided to take a personal stake in the industry and invest our own dimes in a publicly traded Cannabis company.
We didn’t want to leave anyone hanging so we’re writing this post as our initial footprint for our personal investments in within today’s Cannabis space.
Do note, we’re not professional investors by trade. We are speculating at best and putting away any pocket change we have to fund our own stock interests.
Depending on your level of comfort, we wouldn’t recommend you bet your house on these stock tickers. The market shows promise but the peaks and valleys can be quite dramatic since the playing field for Cannabis from farm to spark isn’t a straight line to the customer unlike other consumer goods.
That said, it’s time to address the market. Listed below are the company names, stock tickers and brief descriptions of who they are.
