*Please note: The 25 pure-play constituents in the munKNEE.com pure-play Pot Stock Index are just that, pure, deriving 100% of their revenue from the sale of recreational and medicinal cannabis and consumption-related products so as to reflect the true health of the marijuana industry in the U.S. and Canada. As such, the index excludes the ancillary companies, often included in marijuana ETFs and other industry tracking indices, that generate little, if any, of their revenue directly from the cannabis industry.
