This post Zach Scheidt: America’s Pot Revolution Is HERE<\/a> appeared first on Daily Reckoning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last winter, I took a trip with my son.<\/p>\n

It was his 18th birthday.<\/p>\n

To celebrate, we ventured up to the Rocky Mountains about 100 miles outside of Denver, Colorado. It was set to be a weekend of skiing\u2026 Fresh powder\u2026 And exploring the great outdoors!<\/p>\n

I put my laptop away and had complete freedom from work. Or so I thought\u2026<\/p>\n

After picking up our bags and hopping on the shuttle, we started our venture towards the ski resort.<\/p>\n

But on our journey, I noticed NUMEROUS lines of people waiting throughout the city of Denver.<\/p>\n

After a closer look\u2026<\/p>\n

I saw those lines of people were mostly located outside of marijuana dispensaries.<\/p>\n

My \u2018inner analyst’ was dying to go investigate\u2026<\/p>\n

But this was a family trip\u2026 And I wasn’t going to show interest in \u2018pot’ right in front of my 18 year old son.<\/p>\n

However\u2026<\/p>\n

It was then I \u2018knew’ the marijuana hype was real.<\/p>\n

And today I am finally able to give America’s Pot Revolution the attention it deserves!<\/p>\n

The Money Show’s HOTTEST Investment \u2014 3 Blocks Off The Strip<\/h3>\n

As I mentioned yesterday, I am here in sunny Las Vegas for The Money Show<\/em>\u2026 One of the biggest investment conferences in America.<\/p>\n

With all of the hoopla of cryptocurrencies this year\u2026 I expected bitcoin and blockchain to be the overwhelming focus of the show.<\/p>\n

But boy, I was DEAD wrong.<\/p>\n

No\u2026<\/p>\n

The star of this conference is exploding marijuana industry.<\/p>\n

You see, while bitcoin and drama in Washington took over the news\u2026<\/p>\n

The marijuana industry has been quietly growing exponentially these past few years.<\/p>\n

Check out the North American Marijuana Index\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Since January 2016\u2026 The industry has grown nearly TEN-fold.<\/p>\n

But you hardly hear about it on the news!<\/p>\n

The Money Show<\/em> is a different story\u2026<\/p>\n

Everyone here is talking about the growth of the marijuana industry\u2026 And that this $30 billion dollar industry is nowhere near its potential.<\/p>\n

In Nevada, marijuana is currently legal for recreational use.<\/p>\n

Even though I am not a smoker, I decided to go check out one of the dispensaries close to the hotel.<\/p>\n

This was something I wanted to do since I saw the lines of people in Denver.<\/p>\n

\"Zach<\/p>\n

Your editor doing some \u2018undercover research’<\/em><\/p>\n

I went in pretending to be the standard tourist.<\/p>\n

But secretly\u2026 I was there to get the inside scoop on this exploding industry!<\/p>\n

The dispensary was not what I imagined.<\/p>\n

It’s essentially an upscale pharmacy.<\/p>\n

The staff were informed, professional, and knew the all of the details on their products and the local laws surrounding marijuana.<\/p>\n

For example, they told me that while it is LEGAL to purchase marijuana\u2026 Smoking it in public is still a BIG no-no.<\/p>\n

If you get caught smoking marijuana by police officers, you will be hit with a $600 fine.<\/p>\n

They also told me business has been CRANKING since they opened for business last July.<\/p>\n

Apparently, Americans are gung-ho over pot.<\/p>\n

In fact, 60% of Americans support the full-scale legalization of marijuana for adults.<\/p>\n

And the laws are changing to reflect that.<\/p>\n

At the moment, 29 US states have laws legalizing marijuana medically or recreationally, while most US states have allowed the non-psychoactive portion of marijuana.<\/p>\n

And just when it seems like this piping hot industry couldn’t get any hotter\u2026<\/p>\n

The train isn’t stopping here.<\/p>\n

In fact, this is just the beginning!<\/p>\n

12 more states are voting on either full-scale or medicinal legalization this November. Check out this map.<\/p>\n

\"marijuana<\/p>\n

States who have a leaf in the middle are voting to further their laws regarding marijuana.<\/p>\n

Here are the respective topics they are voting on:<\/p>\n

New Jersey- Recreational<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michigan- Recreational<\/strong><\/p>\n

Delaware- Recreational<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rhode Island- Recreational<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connecticut- Recreational<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ohio- Recreational<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oklahoma- Medical Marijuana<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kentucky- Medical Marijuana<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Dakota- Medical Marijuana<\/strong><\/p>\n

Utah- Medical Marijuana<\/strong><\/p>\n

Missouri- Medical Marijuana<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now you might be wondering where there 12th state is\u2026<\/p>\n

Well, this January, Vermont was so eager\u2026<\/p>\n

Rather than wait for a citizen driven vote in November, lawmakers decided to legalize recreational marijuana.<\/p>\n

We are in the midst of a full-blown revolution here in America.<\/p>\n

And the potential addition of 11 states could skyrocket this industry even further.
\nThink of it this way\u2026<\/p>\n

In 2013, we saw the first wave of marijuana stocks explode in value following November votes\u2026<\/p>\n

Such as Cannabis Sativa<\/strong> (CBDS)<\/strong> that went from $0.75 to $11.00 in two months from December to February\u2026<\/p>\n

And that same year, two states (New Hampshire and Illinois) legalized medical marijuana.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine what would happen if all 11 states adjust their marijuana laws this year?<\/p>\n

It’s like these marijuana stocks are sitting on a launch pad\u2026 Ready for takeoff.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly\u2026<\/p>\n

Corporate America is already pouncing on the opportunity.<\/p>\n

Constellation Brands, the $42 billion dollar company behind Corona, Modelo and Svedka recently took a 10% stake in Canadian medical marijuana company, Canopy Growth Corp.<\/p>\n

Canopy Growth Corp has grown 10x in market cap the past 2 years, along with exponential growth in their sales.<\/p>\n

But they aren’t the only marijuana company growing this rapidly\u2026 And it’s only a matter of time before more big corporations get involved.<\/p>\n

For example, while Big Tobacco has declining sales\u2026<\/p>\n

The marijuana industry is probably looking very appealing.<\/p>\n

Companies like Philip Morris and Altria could leverage their expertise in the smoking industry to dominate legalized marijuana.<\/p>\n

Later this week, I’ll be releasing a more in depth look of the marijuana industry\u2026<\/p>\n

And the potential companies set to dominate.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n

Here’s to growing and protecting your wealth!<\/p>\n
