My retirement funds don't go into anything as risky as a penny stock. There's always some risk with investing, but it doesn't need to be like a trip to Vegas risky.

All that to say, if this industry is ever legalized at the federal level, it's going to be big. I have no doubt about that. It may take a few more presidents, but I think it will happen eventually. So I don't think it's a bad idea to keep an eye on it, and look for legitimate investment opportunities (not penny stocks).



Completely agree! On all points.
