RE:you allIf you're not intelligent enough to have made the money necessary to weather this sort of speculative risk then no, it's not the right place for you.
If you are intelligent enough to have the funds to pursue this then yes there's risk and fluctuation, but you don't get this potential upside without it. Unless you have some insider information no one else does, your post shows you're not qualified to calculate whether the risk/return here is an intelligent play.
If they do come through then returns are going to BLO the entire MJ sector out of the water given their monopoly and the market size for an accurate marijuana testing solution.
This stock obviously isn't right for you. I'd recommend you look into ETFs.
Best of luck.
ps. I hate feeding the trolls, but that post doesn't deserve to be top of the board
