The key factors such as increasing number of countries decriminalizing the use of cannabis and legalizing the cannabis for medical use, increasing awareness of benefits offered by cannabis through conduction of workshops and symposiums and increasing technological development in the field of medical cannabis is expected to account for the growth of the global cannabis market.
In recent years the whole, unprocessed marijuana plant or its basic extracts are used to treat symptoms of illness and other medical conditions.The US FDA has not approved marijuana plant as medicine but certain chemicals from the plant called cannabinoids, are FDA-approved medications which are in the form of pill.
As cannabis helps in treating certain illnesses and symptoms many regions/countries have legalized marijuana for medical use.Currently the two cannabinoids from the marijuana plant that are of medical interest are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).
THC may also decrease pain, inflammation (swelling and redness), and muscle control problems.CBD is used to reduce pain, inflammation, control epileptic seizures, and to treat mental illness and addictions.

Thus growing medicinal applications of cannabis in diseases like HIV, epilepsy and others is expected to drive cannabis market during the forecast period.
