Marijuana Users May Face Significant Health Risks, According to a Newly-Released Study
Few industries, if any, have been able to compete with the rapid growth rate of legal marijuana in recent years. According to cannabis research firm ArcView, the North American legal weed industry is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 26% through 2021, to about $21.6 billion. Chances are that you won't find a higher, more consistent growth rate, which is why marijuana stocks have been blisteringly hot recently.
The public's softening views toward cannabis is a critical reason why weed has returned so much green to investors of late. An April 2017 CBS News poll found that an all-time record 61% of respondents want to see marijuana legalized across the country, and around 9 in 10 are in favor of legalizing the substance for medical purposes.
