The 3 Cheapest Marijuana Stocks

There has arguably been no faster-growing industry in recent memory than marijuana. According to cannabis research firm ArcView, the legal weed market in North America is projected to grow by 26% a year through 2021, yielding a market worth nearly $22 billion. This rapid growth is precisely why marijuana stocks have been such a hot investment.

Public opinion surrounding marijuana is also shifting in a big way. The latest Gallup poll, released just over a week ago, shows that nearly two-thirds of the population (64%) wants to see pot legalized in the United States. This is on top of the overwhelming 94% of the respondents in Quinnipiac University's April 2017 poll who noted their desire for medical cannabis to be legalized. Such strong support of cannabis is only liable to encourage marijuana stock investors.
