PALM BEACH, Florida, January 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to Arcview Market Research, North Americans spent $6.7 billion on legal pot in 2016, up more than 30% from the year before and is forecast to grow to more than $24 billion by 2025. And as recreational markets come online as planned in places like Canada, California and Massachusetts, that could more than triple in the next five years, according to the company's estimates. Canada moving forward "will create some market pressure for the U.S. to step up" in areas like innovation and investment as well as policy, says John Hudak, a marijuana policy expert at the Brookings Institution. After a 33 percent increase resulting in revenues near the $10 billion mark in 2017, cannabis has its sights set on continued growth in 2018 as industry leaders leverage the positive momentum into investment in infrastructure and plant assets to expand operations and enhance production. Along with the positive revenue results, experts believe legalization will also continue to occur as the expansive industry grips economies both in the US, Canada and abroad. Active cannabis companies in the headlines this week include: Future Farm Technologies Inc. (OTC: FFRMF) (CSE: FFT), Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (OTC: CBWTF) (TSX-V: CBW), Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. (OTC: ATTBF) (CSE: ATT), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (OTC: ACBFF) (TSX: ACB), GB Sciences Inc. (OTC: GBLX).
