Top Marijuana Stocks to Buy in 2018

Investing in marijuana stocks seems practically stuffy in comparison with buying bitcoin. But at least with some marijuana stocks, your investment buys part of a business that is growing, both plants and sales, and isn't at serious risk of losing half of its value overnight.

Which marijuana stocks are the best on the market? I'd rule out the tiny penny stocks. And with uncertainty about what might happen with federal enforcement of U.S. marijuana laws, my inclination is to stay clear of stocks focused on the U.S. market for now. Even with these stocks thrown out, several options remain. In my view, Canopy Growth (NASDAQOTH: TWMJF), MedReleaf (NASDAQOTH: MEDFF), and Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQOTH: ACBFF) look like the best marijuana stocks to buy in 2018. Here's why these three rank at the top of the list.
