Believe it or not, marijuana stocks proved fallible in April. Although spring typically brings the green, the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF, a broad-based cannabis fund holding around four dozen pot stocks of various weightings, lost 1.6% during the month of April.

Then again, don’t start crying the blues for pot stocks, with the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF up a cool 51% through the first four months of the year. With the cannabis industry expected to hit between $50 billion and $75 billion in annual sales perhaps a decade from now, investors are willing to overlook temporary hiccups for an opportunity to get their piece of the pie.
