MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary 

There's a global paradigm shift currently taking place as International cannabis business opportunities are expected to accelerate while some conservative estimates peg retail sales in the legal cannabis market at $10 billion-$12 billion this year. It seems there is no end in sight to international legalization ramped efforts and few believe the market could grow up to $80 billion depending on a number of factors in the industry. Currently approximately 35 countries have made progress toward legalizing medical marijuana on some level with regulations remaining the big mystery. The incremental decriminalization or legalization of cannabis across the globe has fed an expanding international market trading cannabis, its extracts and its end products. Canadian marijuana companies have been capitalizing on the international expansion by targeting foreign markets with little competition, where high demand and low supply justify price surges and present wide margin opportunities.
