Hello everyone ,
I use Fidelity due to their low $7.95 commission rate and trade in both an IRA and a regular Brokerage account . I own positions in several companies in the cannabis sector.
I will ill continue to check in and update everyone on some of the stocks I own and why but before I want to explain some of my general opinions on this sector and some possible strategies for how to play it . I should preface by saying I am not a professional trader or broker or analyst, and I also am not associated in any way with any of these companies other than owning shares .
The dot . com era made many people very rich because of speculation. Speculation is really what determines the price and movement of a stock , and this sector has unheard of speculation related opportunities for trading. Their are 20 states with medical and 2 with recreational, meaning 30 more possible major expansions to the medical market and 48 major expansions for recreational. That is only in the United States, ignoring the global economy for a second. The long term potential is unheard of, and is almost impossible to predict. Many of these companies will not exists in 10 years but you can make good money from them Over the next 1-3 years even if they won't be around in five. And in five years many new stocks will be issued as new companies go public.
Every news story and ever step closer we get to worldwide legalization is another catalyst for increase in stock price. For example President Obama will sign the farm bill tomorrow which would allow for state universities and departments of agriculture to cultivate hemp for research in states that have legalized hemp cultivation. This won't allow for companies to grow it yet but HEMP , USEI, and AFAI among others will likely see share prices rise next week due to media coverage.

more to come
disclosure I own positions in the afore mentioned companies .
Yep, I am invested in USEI as well as HEMP. Gonna have to check into AFAI.
Right now I am invested in...
CBIS (long term, not a fast mover but I expect big things in the future).
HEMP (which is just kicking butt, even right now it is dipping pretty hard but I am still way ahead of it and I expect more increases after Obama signs the bill today).
FFFC (just bought into this 2 days ago. It is stagnant at this point but still cheap and I expect it to get into the pennies over the next few weeks)
LATF (another cheaper stock that has revenue coming from SEAFOOD and are breaking into the MJ edibles market)
MWIP (would skip on this now, I bought in cheap and making profit but it has been stagnant for 2 weeks and I am close to selling and re-investing, waiting on ONE more announcement, if it doesn't cause a big bounce, I am out)
NVLX (all about the future, they are working on cancer and diabetes treatment through stem-cell research using cannabinoids)
USEI (biofuel company who have announced they are going to start producing HEMP products)
