What are people's opinions on this?
Too late, ''in the press, so in the price'' etc?
Or still more growth (literally!) in the sector, if it expands into Europe (and possibly more room for the market to expand in the USA)?

Selling off the UK's gold reserves at USD 276 per ounce was a really good idea, which I will not citicise in any way.

I hear it is a growing industry.0

It's a high risk investment.0

How do you expect to invest in this by the way? Given it's an illegal substance in this country (UK), I think you would likely be directly/indirectly breaking the law right?0

Not sure this is in the correct thread, I have asked for it to be moved to a more appropriate thread.
Thanks

The UK was the world's largest producer of legal cannabis in 2016, according to the UN, producing 95 tons, all exported to countries where it can be used legally.How do you expect to invest in this by the way? Given it's an illegal substance in this country (UK), I think you would likely be directly/indirectly breaking the law right?
The way to invest would be to buy shares in companies involved in the production of medical marijuana products, which in the UK would be companies such as GW Pharmaceuticals. Of course, if you are married to the Prime Minister and work for an investment firm, building up a 22% stake in the company in the lead up to your wife relaxing controls around the drug being prescribed is a no-brainer, but for others, I'd echo Malthusians comment that it is a high risk investment.
It's not going to be easy for companies to rake in profits from something that can be legally cultivated at home for little cost by a large proportion of the world's largest market.0 -
An unregulated introducer who promotes the usual scams (unregulated bonds, hotel rooms promising 8%pa guaranteed, airport parking spaces, etc) has started punting a cannabis EIS. Needless to say I'm not tempted.0
