NEW YORK, March 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a report by Ameri Research Inc., the global legal cannabis market was valued at $14.3
billion in 2016 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% between 2017 to 2024, while reaching a value of $63.5 billion by 2024. The market is going through a period of robust growth because of increasing legalization
and decriminalization of cannabis products across North America. The report specifies that the
legalization trend is moving beyond the U.S. region. Data by Arcview Market Research clarifies that growth of the legal cannabis
industry will reaccelerate beginning 2018, as adult use sales ramp up in Canada, California, and Massachusetts along with medical sales in Florida. Snipp Interactive Inc. (OTC: SNIPF), PotNetwork Holding, Inc. (OTC: POTN), Isodiol International
Inc. (OTC: ISOLF), Future Farm Technologies Inc. (OTC: FFRMF), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI)
The report also noted that Europe will have the potential to become one of the largest
medical cannabis markets in the world. Tom Adams, Editor-in-Chief at Arcview Market Research and
Principal Analyst at BDS Analytics, said: "California gets the media attention and Canada gets the investment dollars as they allow adult use, but Germany's
move to make cannabis flower available for medical use in pharmacies was really the big news of 2017 from a worldwide
perspective…The tables have turned in favor of legalization across the world and we predict that the trend will spread as
research continues to support cannabis' effectiveness as a medication."
