The Cannabinoid Market Is Evolving, Are You?
February 4, 2021 – 6 min read
Author: Dave Neundorfer, CEO
In the first month of 2021, we experienced tailwinds as industry stakeholders, from CEOs to Senators, herald the advent of a more robust, sustainable, mainstream cannabis industry.
There’s ample reason for optimism. Cannabis won a sweeping victory in the 2020 elections demonstrating that mainstream support extends across geographies, demographics and political lines. With 34 states (and two territories) with medical marijuana programs, and 15 states (and two territories and Washington D.C.) with recreational marijuana programs, industry advocates’ efforts to professionalize and destigmatize cannabis are finally paying off.
We could be at the precipice of federal policy change with a supportive administration and bipartisan cannabis legislation on the docket, including the SAFE, MORE and STATES Acts.
