The 1 Marijuana Stock That Can Thrive, Even If Jeff Sessions Cracks Down on Weed

The marijuana industry is growing like a weed. Sure, the pun is eye-roll worthy, but it accurately describes the superior growth rates at the moment for legal cannabis.

According to leading cannabis research firm ArcView, North American legal-weed sales are expected to grow from just $6.9 billion in 2016 to an estimated $21.6 billion by 2021, representing a compound annual growth rate of 26%. This growth is expected to come from a combination of new legalizations, organic growth within already legal states and countries (Canada and Mexico have both legalized medical marijuana), and the movement of consumers from illegal to legal channels.
