For Investors, Legalized Pot Remains a High-Risk Venture
Legal marijuana may be a growth industry, but entrepreneurs, banks and financiers still worry about the federal government.

Ontario Closer Than Ever To Legalization Of Marijuana

Marijuana buds and one hundred U.S. dollar bills ($100) are arranged for a photograph in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011. Ontario is one step closer to the legalization of marijuana after the Ontario Superior Court struck down two key parts of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act that prohibit the possession and production of pot in April, according to the National Post.
