I'm interested in their long term profit potential.
They're essentially taking over the weed business from drug cartels and organized crime in regions where legalization occurs. Its been estimated the US black market for weed is worth in excess of $50 billion. That could represent an upper tier for earnings growth over the next few decades if it gradually becomes more regulated.
There is also the potential for legal weed to takeover some of the markets enjoyed by big pharma. Things like aspirin and pharmaceutical remedies for many varying medical conditions would eventually be taken over by legalized marijuana.
The industry definitely has potential to sustain high growth.
When it comes to the pharmaceutical industries then worst to worst addiction becomes the medicine and I compare it with the money laundering stuff where you take your black money and turn into white one. Lolz.
Its clearly same thing as these things are very very expensive to grow and taken care of for the long terms. Its export and import is the most critical part of the whole process where pharmaceutical companies are ready to pay huge bucks over it because later on they make billion more profits from the final dosage form.
Off course these industries has to be mixed up with medicinal industries to have them as their investors.
