Palm Beach, FL – (October 10, 2018) – Despite already experiencing unprecedented growth, the legal cannabis market in the United States remains largely untapped with a mountain of potential. The industry produced $9 billion in revenue in 2017 according to BDS analytics, but this number could more than double in the next two years. The industry has the potential to make an immensely positive impact on the economy as a whole as it will create thousands of jobs and generate strong tax revenues. Another key trend to keep an eye on is how the United States monitors the situation north of the border, with full legalization of cannabis approaching in Canada. Active companies in the Cannabis markets this week include Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC:NUGS), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC:TRTC), Innovative Industrial Properties Inc. (NYSE:IIPR), KushCo Holdings Inc. (OTC:KSHB), CV Sciencs Inc. (OTC:CVSI).
