Investing in a Marijuana Farm

The Entar Investment Newsletter project continues this week with a look at how to invest in marijuana. Cannabis is legal in one form or another in over 30 states. When will the Federal Government release its death grip on the use and sale of cannabis? Big Tabacco is waiting in the wings to apply industrial might to the sector. Perhaps those are the safe stocks to bet on as the smoke clears.

According to Market Research, the projected global medical marijuana market is growing at an annualized rate of just under 20% through 2028. Much of this growth will likely be here in the USA, where 35 states have already legalized medical cannabis. Medical cannabis products sold in the U.S. include dried flowers, vaping concentrates, cannabis-infused edibles, and topical products such as lotion.

Investors who opt to buy individual medical marijuana stocks can choose among Canadian or U.S. companies. Canadian medical cannabis companies can legally list on U.S. stock exchanges, while U.S. medical cannabis companies lawfully operating at the state level can legally list on Canadian stock exchanges and over the counter (OTC).

Before investing in medical cannabis companies, find out what you need to know about this growing sector.

How to choose the best medical marijuana stocks

Investors should consider the same critical attributes for medical marijuana stocks that they would for any store:

Financial performance: Many medical marijuana companies aren’t yet profitable, but the best companies have clear and defined plans for achieving profitability in the future. The safest companies also have plenty of cash, which creates financial flexibility and preserves the value of the stock.
Growth opportunities: The patchy regulatory framework of the marijuana sector means that medical cannabis companies’ growth prospects vary widely. Geographic constraints minimally limit the best companies.
Competitive position: Leading medical marijuana companies with high production capacity, plenty of distribution channels, and beneficial partnerships with established companies.

If you don’t want to choose specific stocks, another way to gain exposure to medical marijuana stocks is to buy shares in a cannabis-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF). This confers instant diversification across the cannabis sector, although no pure-play medical cannabis ETFs are currently available.

Should you buy medical marijuana stocks?

Investing in the medical marijuana sector is relatively risky as long as cannabis remains federally illegal in the U.S. The plant’s federal status also constrains the industry’s growth, and investors have no guarantee that the federal government will continue to allow states to treat cannabis as legal.

But the long-term prospects of the medical marijuana industry are excellent. More countries and U.S. states recognize the potential benefits of medical cannabis and legalize the use and sale of medical cannabis products. More individuals and the broader medical community also recognize the plant’s medicinal benefits, driving demand higher for medical marijuana. Risk-tolerant investors with long investing horizons are likely to profit by investing in medical marijuana.

The marijuana industry may double in value by 2025, and many investors are seeking to profit. In addition, as states and entire countries decriminalize cannabis and its components, there are growing opportunities for entrepreneurs and existing companies.

But, as in any nascent industry, there are also plenty of investment risks. So whether you’re a first-time investor or a seasoned veteran, it pays to understand how this industry works. This guide will get you up to speed quickly and includes our picks for the top marijuana stocks.

Marijuana use was legal for most of human history until the early 20th century. Between 1916 and 1931, 29 U.S. states banned the use of marijuana. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 essentially made cannabis illegal across the U.S.

While cannabis remains illegal on the federal level, most U.S. states have legalized the use and sale of medical marijuana, and an increasing number are legalizing the plant for recreational use. Here’s the lowdown on marijuana legalization within the U.S #entarispowerful #investment #newsletter

What’s next for marijuana legalization?

Medical and recreational marijuana use remains federally illegal, with the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 classifying cannabis as a Schedule I drug. Despite this classification, which is reserved for substances with no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse, the medicinal benefits of marijuana are hard to dispute.

More states are likely to legalize medical and recreational marijuana in the coming years. As public support keeps increasing and the number of marijuana stocks is rapidly proliferating, more states are being enticed by the potential for significant tax revenues from cannabis sales.

Efforts are also underway in the U.S. Congress to enact significant cannabis reform at the federal level. Many cannabis proponents believe that it is only a matter of time before marijuana becomes legal, or at least decriminalized, nationwide.

ARTS DISTRICT — Voluptuous Creativity in Art, Style and Body Image

Exploitation or appreciation? Could it be difficult to tell the difference? Take for instance a modern Venus who’s also a creative leader in the powerful cause of healing and self-actualization through artistic expression: When we first happened to run into CoCo in the elevator of Hope+Flower in the South Park district of Downtown L.A., we couldn’t help but notice an artist who was beaming with enthusiasm, charisma and caring. In an interview, we’ve learned that Coco has benefitted from an entire life exposed from a young age to art culture thanks to her aunt, who was an art major at California Polytechnic State University. Then just five years old, little CoCo was invited to go with her aunt to classes. This powerful exposure helped to instill in a her a philosophy to always take art seriously. Now, as an artist herself, CoCo uses art to inspire others, and to express herself in the most authentic way possible.

CoCo says, “Sometimes we have a lot of internal things that go on inside of us that cannot be expressed through words or generic communication. Art enables expression of our deepest emotions — along with healing people through translation of emotions.”

The Artist and Body Image

Unwanted experiences also contributed to shaping CoCo. Walking through the halls of high school, boys would sometimes grab CoCo’s butt and run away. She had a voluptuous body naturally as teenager. She got so much attention about her body, it took time to understand that she was different. She was hyper-sexualized at a young age, leading to insecurites about herself. Many people loved and revered her body, but others fomented a spectacle. After these good and bad experiences, CoCo learned of a notable woman in hisotory named Sarah Baartman, the “Hottentot Venus”. During the 1700s, when slavery was in full swing amid the infancy of the United States, the original South African KhoiKhoi (although a free woman) still found herself enduring colonial era exploitation, racism, ridicule and commodification of black people. Due to European fascination with her substantial levels of tissue on the buttocks and thighs, Sarah was exploited, displayed like a circus freak sideshow. CoCo learned of Bartman’s fate, and found the Hottentot Venus to have parallels to CoCo’s own personal journey to embrace her body, to accept it how it is. Taking it to the next level, she paints fashion logo iconography and voluptuous body shapes on canvas for patrons.

Seeing an alarming explosion of body modifications in Los Angeles today gave CoCo a realization through all of the years of being reduced to mere spectacle by half, yet highly revered by the other half of culture. Noticing that so many individuals try so hard to achieve satisfaction with their bodies by getting surgeries, butt injections et cetera, CoCo recognized the unhealthiness in artificial approaches, which often backfire. The healthy approach is to accept one’s body first, and then to maintain and to improve one’s beloved body. Too many cannot accept their own bodies as they are. People want something better. To help satisfy our insatiable longings, CoCo has created the “Love Your Body” series of paintings depicting exaggerated bottom and other abstract images. Also, the “Rainbow Booty” paintings were started in May of 2021 specifically for the LBGT community. The abstract backdrop pride flag elements of very conceptual emphasized curvaceous body, a hidden message to LGBT individuals to love their bodies.

Juicy Queen CoCo, the Model “It’s about helping people — encouraging people through art to love their bodies no matter what shape or size — super skinny or big, you gotta love it.” Coco teaches that we must love and accept where we are now, and still get to a better place.

Inquired about the state of world affairs and today’s social issues, CoCo was asked about whether the Duchess of Sussex actress Megan Markle is a whining rich girl, or if she has legitimate issues that warrant the sympathy of the public, and perhaps righting of wrongs by the royal family. CoCo responds, expressing the feeling that Markle has landed in a difficult and peculiar situation that involves real pain: “Meghan has not been accepted fully and completely. Oppression and racism exist, often unconsciously and subconsciously.” CoCo believes that Markle’s emotional health is in jeopardy, and the life of a duchess can be filled with substantial difficulties.

Life at Hope + Flower, recently called “The best apartments in Downtown Los Angeles” by the L.A. Loft Blog: CoCo says, “I like it!” She moved from New York City about seven years ago. She chose Hope and Flower for the security of the building, pool sauna and community common area spaces where she can entertain or relax. She appreciates the modern luxury with an urban feel. The high-rise tower rental residences work well for CoCo and her lifestyle.

The Future: CoCo has begun experimenting with creating digital versions of her artwork in the form of NFT Non-Fungible Tokens with MakersPlace.com
