A year after Canada became the second country to legalize recreational marijuana in 2018, the legal cannabis sector was estimated to be worth $150 billion, according to Euromonitor International. Between then and 2025, they predict the sector will grow by 2,000% globally.
There’s more than one way to invest in the cannabis industry.
