J.P. Morgan recently said that when it comes to stocks, “Scotts Miracle-Gro is a Marijuana Play,” but that certainly doesn’t take into account the moral implications of investing in such an appalling company.
Scotts Miracle-Gro, a multi-billion-dollar petrochemical conglomerate, recently entered the marijuana business with their 2015 purchase of General Hydroponics. While J.P Morgan may see the upside in this acquisition, we here at HIGH TIMES beg to differ.
Since 1998,the company has been in collaboration with Monsanto, the “most evil company in the world” (google it). Among their many dubious achievements are Agent Orange, DDT, Roundup and saccharine, so I don’t think their emphasis is on the safety and health of the end user.
According to their Wikipedia page, Scotts is “Monsanto’s exclusive agent for the marketing and distribution of consumer Roundup.” They also “sold toxic bird seed coated in pesticide known as deadly to birds and fish.” for years. They were fined by the USDA for allowing their genetically modified grass to mix with native grasses.
As a side note, during the 2012 United States presidential election the company endorsed Republican Party candidate Mitt Romney.
They are clearly not a friend to the marijuana grower or consumer.
So, if you want to make money in the “cannabis space,” try investing in companies like Terra Tech (TRTC), Growblox Sciences (GBLX) and Insys Therapeutics, Inc. (INSY).

I want to specially thank Rick Simpson for saving my wife's life with his healing oil here in the United State of America. My wife was diagnose with Breast Cancer 3 years ago, and ever since she have done a lot of Chemo and Radiation that have not helped her, but only damaged her immune system and render it weak and helpless until I saw a post on Facebook on how the cannabis oil had cured cancer patients, I quickly emailed the mail: ricksimpsoncancercure001@gmail.com for the procurement of this medication. And from that very moment we just have to give it a trier and he told us, that his oil will heal my wife cancer problem only if we can order for it online as soon as possible, and to my utmost surprise, we decided to give it a try and behold when we did exactly 48hours of ordering the medication came to our door step through the delivery agent and deliver it to us. Am now here to testify that my wife is no more a cancer patient, We have experience a total transformation in her health sector with Rick Simpson Cancer Cure service.

JP Morgan has no room to talk about fraud, they got sued in court for it. Although I would never invest in any company that is in any way affiliated with Monsanto nor would I ever invest in JP Morgan.
the Scotts brands like Miracle grow, General Hydroponics, Botanicare are low end cheap nutes -the hydro stores push them because of the high profit margins hence screwing customers
I'm up 23 fold on GW Pharma and expect another 10 fold.. Be smart -99% of cannabis stocks are losers
Like any other stocks do your research before investing! I'm not so sure I'd take the word of JP Morgan ...
