The first cannabis ETF on the market

If approved, this would be the first cannabis ETF on the market. The ETF contains quite a bit of pharmaceutical as well as Medical Marijuana Inc. (MJNA), one of the most popular cannabis stocks on the market. Hopefully getting in the market will help make the push for marijuana legalization everywhere.

Can the stocks live up to the hype? Or are marijuana stocks overvalued?
