The coming tidal wave of the legal cannabis market
As cannabis laws liberalize in the United States and worldwide, an entire industry is quickly evolving that combines a variety of disparate disciplines from agricultural technology to branded products to laboratory formulations. Entrepreneurialism is exploding in the cannabis industry and large, sophisticated companies have emerged that have public market capitalizations exceeding $3 billion.
The cannabis industry worldwide is expected to exceed $100 billion by 2022 and will disrupt industries like alcohol, pharmaceuticals, and health care.
The recent adult-use passage in AZ and NJ and potential for federal legalization has created an unparalleled growth opportunity in cannabis stocks as illegal activity shifts into the legal market. With public Cannabis stocks trading at all-time highs, M&A and capital markets activity has never had greater velocity. This velocity has pushed investors to look for private companies, which due to the opaque informational landscape of cannabis investment is an incredibly difficult endeavour.
