PR Newswire

NEW YORK, September 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

According to a research published by Ameri Research Inc., the global legal cannabis market was valued at $14.3 billion in 2016. The market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% between 2017 and 2024, while reaching a value of $63.5 billion in global sales in 2024. The legal cannabis market is witnessing robust growth in part thanks to the increasing legalization and decriminalization of cannabis across North America and Europe. The rising demand of cannabis for recreational use and medical use is a key factor driving the growth in sales in the industry. The report points out that due to the complex regulatory structure at state level and federal level, the full potential of the market is not yet realized. Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE), mCig, Inc.
