Invstr Weed Index
Imagine finding computer stocks in the nineties but betting on Gateway instead of Microsoft, or Everex instead of Apple. Investors taking a first puff of weed stocks are pinning hopes on whatโs tipped to be a 66-billion-dollar market by 2025, but not all who enter will survive.ย
The Invstr Weed Index is driven by a cross-section of 23 major players in the industry, both the eventual winners and losers. Like the Invstr Crypto Index, you can research and track this hyper-growth space with less risk and volatility than if you were to choose individual companies. Here are the index constituents!

Early last year, pot companies saw their stock prices multiply two and three-fold, thousands of times their cumulative sales on average. It was the a la mode market niche of a lifetime and investors were hoarding all the shares they could afford. However, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) soon killed that buzz.
Cannabis, medical or recreational, was never going to trade hands outside of shrink wrapped packaging. Red tape has strangled pot stocks by suffocating branding efforts and supply chains. Not good. All seemed lost until lawmakers again flexed their power with โLegalization 2.0!โ
The legal appeal of cannabis-infused beverages, vapes, and edibles has convinced a number of high-profile brewers to stake their reputations on a stake in the marijuana industry. Beer brand owner and bona fide sin stock Constellation is now driven by sentiment in the pot industry, having made a 37% investment in Canopy Growth last year.ย
Diageo, the owner of Guinness and Smirnoff, is also surveying the space for a possible acquisition, especially as bulls return to re-hype all things hemp and nugg! Itโs worth keeping the Invstr Weed Index on your watchlist. The industry has an eventful future ahead and you don’t want the dankest industry of the lot leaving you behind!
