Cannabis is The Fastest Growing Catalyst for Major Retailers

Cannabis has become the hottest investment story of the year with no shortage of bullish analysts. For example, according to the Marijuana Business Factbook, the industry could be worth $77 billion by 2022. Analysts at Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics see worldwide sales of $55 billion by 2024. All as people around the world wake up to the health benefits of cannabis, including the treatment of insomnia, stress and anxiety. On top of that, 14% of Americans are now using products that contain CBD, according to a Gallup poll, as retailers rush to keep up with demand.
