Hi Joe, you can sign up for our newsletter, we review and discuss opportunities there. Soon, we will be starting a subscriber based paid newsletter where we will provide more coverage on the sector.

We have many of the Canadian Licensed producers list in our Grower directory on our site, many of the are publicly traded... see http://www.investinmj.com/directory/growers for more details. We are starting to build out a comparison chart so visitors can evaluate the various companies, see www.investinmj.com/.../licensed-producers-comparison. Our focus at #IMJ has been on the Cnd side because of federal support, but we will be providing more coverage on US opportunities soon, sign up for our newsletter. To learn more about the industry, you may want to attend conferences, webinars and meetups, check out http://cannabisconference.ca As for recommendations, we are research analysts and provide coverage on the sector, we are not financial advisers. We will be starting a subscriber based newsletter soon, it will be a paid newsletter that will share opportunities and more in depth coverage.

In Canada, the risks are greatly reduced as the Federal Govt is moving towards legalization, the US can be risky given the Govt stance on #cannabis. The risk in Canada is more on the company valuations being so high, competition and the increase in the number of licensed producers expected in the coming years.

There are over 50 licensed producers (LP) of marijuana in Canada, many of them in various stages of licensing. I believe that the number of LPs will increase over the coming years as we move towards legalization next year and demand increases. While we see more LPs coming into the market, the companies with newly issued producer status may find it difficult to compete with the established ones and raising capital at high valuations could be more challenging for them. Over the next few years, I expect a lot of mergers and acquisitions in the MJ space and the sector will end up with a few big leaders and many smaller producers. Emerald is on my watch list and if the JV progresses and can build scale in the greenhouses, then they could have a good chance of being one of the larger producers.

We are still conducting further due diligence on the company and will be sharing our findings in our newsletter. At the moment, I do not have a position in the company.

We agree, there are going to be some great opportunities over the coming year... however due diligence on the companies is necessary.

Anyone involved in the cannabis industry has always been at risk, whether it be the legal medical market or the illegal grey market. This is mostly as a result of the failed “War on Drugs” policy by the US federal government and the anti-marijuana crowd’s lack of information and honest truth about cannabis as a medicine. Misinformation and $20 billion/year spent on drug policy control have been the means to suppress marijuana as a viable industry, however they are losing on the propaganda front and progress towards legalization is being made. The industry is being accepted by the majority of people and the move towards legalization is happening a worldwide, it really is just a matter of time until the Fed gov’t caves in. As the move towards legalization progresses, the industry risks decrease and the value of established business should increase.

Yes, this is problem while the industry is still illegal at the federal level. However we are optimistic that it this will be addressed over the coming years as more states start to legalize it. The federal gov't can't ignore the movement to legalize this industry much longer, they are losing the war on drugs and will eventually have to cave in and legalize the medical marijuana market and eventually the recreational market.

Yes the industry is still in it's infancy when it comes to investments. The rules and regulations in the US at the federal level still make it difficult to navigate investment opportunities until they become clear or the industry is fully legalized at the federal level. However the risks taken now can and will pay off handsomely if full legalization nationally becomes a reality. The stock prices of many of these companies have come down significantly in the past year making them cheap, however as you suggest, some are sketchy and not worth investing. For now, look for companies who are generating revenues and can grow their business, especially in the vertical markets. There are many private investment opportunities that also look very promising, but they take a lot more due diligence to find and research, but we believe that is where the most promising upside lies.
