NEW YORK, August 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Data compiled by Grand View Research indicates that the global legal cannabis market is expected to reach USD 146.4 Billion by end of 2025. The increasing use of cannabis products for several medical applications such as cancer, mental disorders, chronic pain and others, is expected to propel revenue growth in the near future. The report also explains that due to high demand, there has been an influx of public and private investment for research and development of safer forms of ingesting cannabis such as tinctures, oils, vapes and other edibles, which are expected to positively reinforce market growth.

According to data from the large, independent California Healthy Kids Survey, cannabis use reported by high schoolers in California dropped significantly amid the legalization and regulation of the botanical drug, with only adults ages 21 and older able to access it. According to Leafly, Ellen Komp, Deputy Director of California NORML explained, "These initial reports confirm that legalizing and regulating cannabis doesn't increase youth marijuana use, but rather it has the opposite effect… The fact that the biggest drop in reported use came from younger age groups is a particularly encouraging indicator of the success of regulation."
