Retail Investor's Perspective

The prudent Retail Investor needs to take such information into consideration but also must realize and accept that such hope will take years to transition to actual patient treatment and that also assumes that cannabis is indeed instrumental to any such treatment. Take great caution in how much weight assigned to any decision at this time that is based on such information. Remember - investing based on a chip and chair is speculative.

In Canada, the Canadian Consortium for the Investigation of

organization of basic and clinical researchers and health care

professionals established to promote evidence-based

research and education concerning the endocannabinoid

system and therapeutic applications of endocannabinoid and

The above referenced article lists five companies it suggests are worth considering. All five companies have been included in the CANNAINVESTOR Magazine Top 25 Stock Picks for quite some time. One company that has peaked my own interest for quite some time is InMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc (CSE:IN; OTC:IMLFF) as the company’s share price has risen from $0.07 to $0.96 before retreating. Particularly intriguing is their proprietary cannabinoid manufacturing technology being developed that uses biosynthesis to manufacture all 90+ naturally occurring cannabinoids without the need to actually grow any physical plants.
