I may be slow learner but im at least learning...

It is an intoxicant, and although many claim it is for medical uses, recreational use is probably more common if people are being honest. It is also a very dangerous industry. Here in California, much illegal conduct centers around the "medical marijuana" industry--murders are common, human trafficking, etc. I wouldn't touch an investment in this space ever. If you already have a well established diverse portfolio of investments and need to diversify, try real estate or something.confusedlayman wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:05 pm As a layman, if i invest in shares (buying underlying asset) in medical marijuana company whose intent is good, am i breaking layman sila?

It seems to me that it is better not to ask for permission here. Use your own judgement. People here just like telling you how wrong you are.

No, but if you are heavily invested in a recreational marijuana business like myself then yes.confusedlayman wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:05 pm As a layman, if i invest in shares (buying underlying asset) in medical marijuana company whose intent is good, am i breaking layman sila?

Not dangerous at all. You can buy stocks like SNDL (Sundial Growers) that have a huge opportunity for growth now that Biden and the Democrats are in power.dharmacorps wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 1:25 amIt is an intoxicant, and although many claim it is for medical uses, recreational use is probably more common if people are being honest.

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Wrong. Shares is investment in a business. You can buy shares in a speculative business, which has "risk". You can buy shares in an established business, such as Apple or Bank of America, which is investment.
The wise and virtuous shine like a blazing fire.
He who acquires his wealth in harmless ways
like to a bee that honey gathers,
riches mount up for him
like ant hill's rapid growth.
With wealth acquired this way,
a layman fit for household life,
in portions four divides his wealth:
thus will he friendship win.
One portion for his wants he uses,
two portions on his business spends,
the fourth for times of need he keeps.
DN 31
