America Merrill: Marijuana and u.s

america merrill: Last year, Canada became the first industrialized country in the world to legalize the use of recreational cannabis, with 33 U.S. states also giving the green light to medical marijuana since 1996, according to The Independent. What had once been a completely taboo topic has become relatively mainstream throughout North America and much of Europe. Sean 7, 2019 at 9 06AM There's arguably no industry generating more excitement right now than legal marijuana. Of course, what investors are really waiting for is some form of change at the federal level in the United States. Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and Stifel foresee U.S. weed sales accounting for 33% to 50% of global revenue, which would make the U.S. the most lucrative marijuana market in the world for businesses and investors. The U.S. is projected to be the leading cannabis market in the world in terms of future sales -- and it's not even close right now. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
