Or invest in a cannabis ETF

Alternatively, you could invest in an index tracking the performance of cannabis companies. Investing in an index can provide broad exposure to the sector. It also is a simple yet effective way to diversify your portfolio's risk away from individual companies whose share price may experience large swings off the back of performance or regulatory events.

eToro's CannabisCare CopyPortfolio (click for prices) gives you broad exposure to a collection of medical marijana stocks. It includes Canadian, American and British manufacturers, such as Tilray, Aphria, XXII and GW Pharmaceuticals. Medical cannabis is already legal in 30 U.S. States, Canada, several European countries.
