Cannabis Worldwide Sales Growing Like A Weed

PALM BEACH, Florida, Feb. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

Yes indeed… cannabis sales are growing much like this proverbial plant itself!  It grows in all climates and in almost any environment…producing green leaves everywhere, but it is also creating a lot of greenbacks around the world at an alarming rate! (Or – at the same time)  Forbes has opined:  "… over the next 10 years, the legal cannabis industry will see much progress around the globe. Spending on legal cannabis worldwide is expected to hit $57 billion by 2017. The adult-use (recreational) market will cover 67% of the spending; medical marijuana will take up the remaining 33%.  The largest group of cannabis buyers will be in North America, going from $9.2 billion in 2017 to $47.3 billion a decade later. The largest growth spread, however, is predicted within the rest-of-world markets, from $52 million spent in 2017 to a projected $2.5 billion in 2027.  Active Companies from around the market with current developments this week include:  Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC:SGMD), Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC:MCOA), PotNetwork Holdings, Inc (OTCPK: POTN), The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (OTCQX: SPRWF) (TSX:FIRE.TO), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB) (TSX:ACB).

Still, the main difference between the U.S. and European cannabis markets is that in the U.S., recreational use will dominate sales.  With a budget of $1.3 trillion in health care spending, European government-subsidized health care systems will bring the medical cannabis market to dominate Europe and become the largest medical marijuana market in the world.
