Legal Cannabis Sales Projected to Grow

NEW YORK, March 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary 

Over the years, many states have legalized the use of cannabis products, for both medical and recreational purposes. As a result sales of such products grew overtime, and a new industry has been established. A report published on March 9th by New Frontier Data, a technology-driven analytics company specializing in the cannabis industry, reveals that the legal cannabis market was worth an estimated $6.6 billion in 2016, and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% to reach more than $24 billion by 2025. The projections are being made under the assumption that no new states will pass legalization legislations throughout the forecasted period. ChineseInvestors.com, Inc.

CEO and Founder of New Frontier Data Giadha Aguirre De Carcer, commented, "Over the course of refining our market projections, there have been important lessons learned from each state's market performance, the industry's nuanced developments, and from the increased amount of data gathered from state regulatory agencies. We applaud, in particular, the work of Washington State which has set the gold standard in transparency by making all the data collected by its seed-to-sale system publicly available. This level of transparency is enormously valuable as it enables all stakeholders across the industry, including operators, investors, regulators and policymakers to have a quantifiable view into this highly dynamic industry."

CR845 treatment resulted in statistically significant reductions in both pain intensity and opioid-related side effects.
