Many Robinhood investors like cannabis stocks, here is everything you should know about the three most popular marijuana stocks.

The most popular marijuana stock is Aurora Cannabis.  While Aurora stocks have plunged 60% so far this year, investors like the stock because of name recognition.  The company has been in the news over the past few years, and was ranked as Robinhood investors’ favorite stock in December 2019.  Aurora is a leader in Canadian adult-use medical and recreational markets.  They have relatively low costs and a high production capacity.

Canopy Growth is the second most popular stock.  There has been positive growth in popularity for this stock, in December it was ranked in third place among Robinhood users.  CEO David Klein has most likely been helpful in increasing the popularity of this stock.  Klein, former CFO of Constellation Brands, has taken steps to reduce company spending and work towards profitability.  Constellation upped its stake in Canopy Growth, reaffirming their commitment to Canopy’s role as a leader.

Lastly, Cronos Group is the third most popular cannabis stock on Robinhood.  Cronos hasn’t been in the news much in recent months, but their acquisition of Redwood has created a strong presence in the U.S.  Cronos also has a partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks to develop cannabinoids using a fermentation process.

Should you buy these stocks?

The issue with these stocks is that they all continue to lose money.  This is a bigger issue for Aurora because they don’t have large partners like Canopy and Cronos do.  Aurora has a large amount of debt, making it a bad pick for investors.  Cronos also needs to move further towards profitability before it becomes a smart pick. However, David Klein has steered Canopy in the right direction and is a good pick for investors who have patience to wait for success.

Jimi's legendary first trip

Picture the scene: it’s January 3rd 1966, in New York City, and a young Jimi Hendrix has just sent his father in Seattle an Empire State Building postcard admitting that the grass is not in fact greener on the other side and “every thing so-so on this big, raggedy city”. Although he doesn’t know it yet, Hendrix’s life is about to change seismically with the introduction of LSD.

Having spent four years residing in the Big Apple as a permanently broke musician, Hendrix had experienced his fair share of Black juke joints and clubs around the continent. Despite the gruelling nature of the ‘chitlin circuit’, comprising venues in the eastern, southern, and upper Midwest areas of the United States, Hendrix honed his craft by borrowing crowd-pleasing techniques from T-Bone Walker and Buddy Guy. A couple of these antics included the signature Hendrix trick of playing guitar behind his head and with his teeth.

The Ultimate Guide to THCV Strains

THC and CBD are undoubtedly the two “star” cannabinoids almost everyone knows about. But the cannabis plant, with its complexity and rich spectrum, contains many more lesser-known chemicals. While researchers find something new every day, so far we know that the cannabis plant produces at least 80-100 cannabinoids and over 300 non-cannabinoid substances. 

THCV - or Tetrahydrocannabivarin - is one of those cannabinoids that are packed with benefits and yet still relatively unutilized. Here is all you need to know about this cannabinoid - and some tips to find the best THCV strains.

Indica vs Sativa: The Truth

When you walk into a dispensary, the first question you’re often asked is whether you prefer an “indica” or “sativa” strain. For years, these categories have served as shorthand for cannabis effects: sativas are described as energizing and creative, while indicas are thought to promote relaxation and sleep. But as cannabis science evolves, so does the understanding of what truly influences a cannabis experience—and it turns out that the traditional indica/sativa dichotomy might be more marketing myth than scientific fact.

This article dives into the origins of these terms, the science debunking their validity, and why a new classification system could lead to a better consumer experience.
