The cannabis space is growing like a weed, thanks largely to Canada's legalization of recreational marijuana last October along with an increasing number of U.S. states giving the green light to the drug for medical use. Moreover, the industry is widely projected to be one of the fastest growing over at least the next decade as more countries — including the United States — are expected to eventually fully legalize marijuana. So it makes good sense for risk-tolerant investors to want exposure to the cannabis realm.
To help you cut through the dizzying array of stock choices, we asked three Motley Fool contributors who cover the space and own at least one cannabis stock to explain why they bought one of their holdings.
