These 4 Marijuana Stocks All Jumped at Least 10% Last Week

The legal marijuana industry has been a monster in terms of growth, and marijuana stock investors have taken notice. In fact, a majority of pot stocks have doubled or tripled in value over the trailing 12 months.

It's not hard to see why investors are so excited about marijuana stocks. According to a recently released report from Marijuana Business Daily, titled "Marijuana Business Factbook 2017," sales of legal weed in the United States are expected to grow to between $5.1 billion and $6.1 billion this year, and another roughly 45% in 2018, before potentially topping $17 billion by 2021. Between 2016 and 2021, we're talking about approximately 300% legal sales growth. Between new states legalizing the drug, organic growth within legal states, and the opportunity to persuade black-market customers to move to legal channels, the perceived opportunity for marijuana stocks is enormous.
