How To Invest In Cannabis Stocks
Estimated 5-minute read
If I could travel back in time I would go to the year 2012. I would revive my vacations in Indonesia and as soon as I could, I would have bought a considerable amount of bitcoin. Yes, speaking in simple terms, without being so demanding. Unfortunately, this is impossible, however, today I can speculate on a booming industry whose potential is so promising that without being legal in some places, brands adjacent to this super industry are already being built and positioned. That's right, as you know I'm talking about the cannabis industry. Its versatility and accessibility are turning marijuana into a main protagonist in terms of economy and culture.
Weed's industry expectations are huge, nothing less than an annual growth rate of at least 25 percent through 2030. As governments across the globe work on marijuana legalization and regularization people are waiting for new opportunities. Entrepreneurs and existing companies want to participate, and many investors are seeking to profit.
So, how to start. Let's start from the breaking point. “After a disappointing 2021 on the legislative front, big companies and influential players will use this year to strengthen their presence in existing cannabis markets and adjacent industries. As we look forward to 2022, one of the big themes for cannabis investors should be the emergence of the brands.” Said Seymour, who runs Amplify Seymout Cannabis ETF.
While factors beyond their reach, such as legislation and policies whose dissolution will set the pattern for the future. Businessmen and entrepreneurs build brands and categories adjacent to the cannabis industry. Whereas the trade and consumption of marijuana is legal, people seek to solidify and capitalize the existing brands. How?
Cannabis ETF’s
Exchange-traded funds are investment funds whose main characteristics are that they are traded on secondary stock markets. Unlike the shares of traditional funds, which are subscribed or redeemed at their net asset value (which is calculated after the close of each session). The EFT shares can be bought and sold on market secondary, such as stocks or bonds. Its listing on secondary markets allows investors accustomed to operating in the markets, buying and selling similar to how it is done with other listed assets.
It is not surprising that Seymour's best way to invest in the rapidly evolving space is via his actively managed ETF. He says that for investors that want to participate in this industry that is changing day by day an active EFT is the best option.
Marijuana stocks as represented by the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF, have vastly underperformed the broader market. The ETFMG alternative Harvest ETF has provided a total return of -66.3% over the past 12 months. As more and more companies want to have absolute advantage are looking to minimize their operating costs to the minimum so their profits may work as an incentive to create an opportunity gap and more and more direct and ancillary companies have participation in this industry.
Three main categories of the marijuana industry are:
- Marijuana growers and retailers, cultivate and package cannabis products.
- Biotech companies, develop and market cannabis-based pharmaceutical drugs.
- Ancillary marijuana business, provide products and services to cannabis companies.
Marijuana industry is so pragmatic and multifunctional that it presents endless opportunities directly and indirectly.

According to industry analysis firm MJBizDaily, U.S cannabis sales will surpass $33 billion in 2022 before reaching $52 billion by the end of 2026. The global cannabis market is expected to reach nearly $200 billion by 2028, up from $28 billion in 2021. Considering that it is probably that in the future financial institutions may fund cannabis companies which today is illegal, may boost the development of the industry.
