| A young, hotshot CEO issued a stark warning for those looking to invest in cannabis. But are some not heeding his words? Adam Bierman, the 37-year-old founder and CEO of MedMen Enterprises, one of the largest cannabis dispensaries in America, issued this alert to a packed crowd at the 2019 South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. MedMen has often been called the Apple Store of Weed. After he detailed the growth of his small business, from tiny apartment in Glendale to the first ten figure cannabis company in the United States, Bierman revealed the potential he sees in this industry...and it's huge. I'm talking to the tune of an estimated $146.4 billion. Cannabis legalization is descending over North America - 10 states plus Washington, D.C., have all legalized recreational marijuana over the last few years, and full legalization arrived in Canada in October 2018. And since experts have projected the U.S. industry to skyrocket to $146.5 billion by 2025, it's time for investors to start paying attention. Because the big story isn't really cannabis ingesting...but cannabis investing. And Bierman agrees. "I remember vividly...seeing a UN report that said over $50 billion a year is spent on cannabis...$50 billion was being spent in our country every year on illegal cannabis." So imagine the potential of this industry if legalization comes to pass. And this is where the stark words come in from Mr. Bierman. Because while the industry is still filled with small businesses, mom and pop shops, local corner stores, it's only a matter of time before the big dogs step in. And he sees it as a do-or-die situation; eat or be eaten. It's that important for potential investors. "I saw a thing today from Cramer, the Mad Money host...[he] goes online today and says, 'If Heinz wants to be successful, they have to sell off some brands and invest into cannabis.' I read it twice." He concluded with this harsh warning: "If you're Big Alcohol and you don't get a piece of cannabis, cannabis is going to take a piece of you." Now, there's no denying that the cannabis industry is booming, and attracting interest from savvy investors like yourself. But it's also a relatively new industry. Untested, unproven. And while we here at The Motley Fool love being on the cutting edge of new investing trends... ... like picking Amazon at $15.31 a share... ... Netflix at $1.85 a share... ... or Disney at $1.84 a share... ... we've been quiet on this growing marijuana industry for a while. Until now. Because two powerhouses in the beverage industry have followed through on Bierman's warnings and pushed ahead to dive headlong into cannabis research. And these two companies - which now have the opportunity to rake in profits from the $146.5 billion US cannabis industry - are no strangers to us here at The Motley Fool. Because we've actually recommended these stocks before... for completely different reasons. Just take a look at how one of them has done since we recommended it to our members: - 22% increase in stock price after announcing a partnership with Tilray
- $55 billion in sales growth in 2018 alone
- Estimated 28% of market share in 2016
We here at The Motley Fool are convinced we're only in the VERY early days of research efforts with cannabis. Which means there could still be boatloads more profit to be had for in-the-know investors who are prepared to take action. Now, I don't like to brag... but we here at The Motley Fool have had a pretty good track record of picking trends before they get big. Take a look at a few of the companies we picked to dominate their field: - Netflix, up 13,894%
- Amazon, up 12,792%
- Booking Holdings, up 8,024%
- Nvidia, up 2,541%
If you'd invested $5,000 in each of those companies when we recommended them in Stock Advisor, you'd be sitting at over $2.1 million right now. Which brings me back to this latest find. The futures of these two companies don't hinge on marijuana. If all forms of THC were banned forever in the United States, we think they would still have an incredible field of opportunity. (That's why we recommended them in the first place!) But now that there's an estimated $146.4 billion industry emerging from the woodwork, their prospects are positively mouthwatering - and we think you'll regret not getting invested now. Forget penny pot stocks. Forget untried, inexperienced cannabis farms. THESE are the companies we think you should have in your portfolio if you want to position yourself wisely for the coming marijuana boom. But many investors are looking for diamonds in the rough and risky, unproven penny marijuana stocks. We need to change that. So, due to the urgency of this recent development, we put together a painstakingly researched report that shows you how these two stocks could potentially mint their own marijuana millionaires. It reveals the reasons why we think every forward-thinking investor should be paying close attention to this revolutionary new industry and what might be a potentially life-changing investment opportunity.
