10 Reasons Marijuana Stocks Are a Dicey Investment in 2020

When the year began, there wasn't a hotter investment on the planet than marijuana. It's not hard to understand why, either, with worldwide weed sales more than tripling between 2014 and 2018 to $10.9 billion, according to the State of the Legal Cannabis Markets report from Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics.
