Though all eyes are on tech and other innovative industries, it's marijuana that could be one of the fastest-growing industries of the decade.
According to New Frontier Data, cannabis sales in the U.S. are expected to grow by 21% annually between 2019 and 2025, ultimately reaching $41.5 billion by mid-decade. Meanwhile BDSA recently estimated that Canadian pot sales would rocket from $2.6 billion in 2020 to $6.4 billion by 2026. In short, it's a great time to be a marijuana industry optimist.
