For well over a decade, the legalized marijuana market has been poised to explode… but it never has. Here’s what it’s waiting for.
There was a time when anybody that smoked marijuana was nothing more than a “stoner” or a “burnout,” seen as nothing more than a common criminal addicted to dope–but times, they are a-changing.
Smoking marijuana has gone from a taboo crime to a more-or-less accepted activity. State after state has adopted it for medical use, and some have even made it fully legal for recreational use as well.
When the legal marijuana market first started making headlines a few years ago, people thought it was going to help them make money hand over fist. People saw how much money it made on the illegal side, and most figured that wealth would translate over to the legal side.
However, the first marijuana stocks popped up on the Pink Sheets almost 15 years ago now, and yet there has been no generation of “Pot Stock millionaires.”
