FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary
NEW YORK, January 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a report by Forbes, Brightfield Group indicates that the international market for cannabis is projected to hit $31.4 billion by 2021. The global market is estimated to see a compound annual growth rate of 60 percent as other countries relax their cannabis regulations. The U.S. currently drives 90 percent of global cannabis sales, but its share will drop to 57 percent by 2021. That's in large part thanks to Canada's plans to legalize recreational cannabis by July 2018. California has already legalized recreational products, the sales of which have started earlier this month. Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE), GB Sciences, Inc.

Tom Adams, Editor-in-Chief at Arcview Market Research and Principal Analyst at BDS Analytics explained, "Our data shows positive indicators across the board for the legal cannabis industry, in North America and around the globe... The passage of the 2016 ballot initiatives and continued maturation of the existing Adult-Use markets are the primary drivers of the growth this year. That's nothing compared to what we can expect in 2018 and beyond from Nevada's tourism, and California and Canada planning to launch Adult-Use sales in 2018."
