This week, Tracey is joined by Zacks Stock Strategist and the editor of Zacks Marijuana Innovator newsletter, Ben Rains, to discuss the pot stocks. Pot stocks were the hottest thing around 5 years ago but after catching a bid during the pandemic, the stocks have now plunged to multi-year lows.

Are there any deals among the stocks? Or are they traps?
