3 Marijuana Stocks That Cost Investors Billions in 2019

We now have less than a week to go before we say goodbye to 2019, and the year can't end soon enough for marijuana stock investors.

But as the year played out, these projections turned out to be nothing more than a pipe dream, with the end result being billions of dollars lost by pot stock investors.

Although a few niches within the cannabis industry outperformed, most marijuana stocks lost a considerable amount of their value. The following three pot stocks were especially good at destroying shareholder value, with market cap losses ranging from $2.2 billion to $4.9 billion for the year.
