Legal and Medical Cannabis Market Expected to Show Strong Growth
NEW YORK, September 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a report by Hexa Research the U.S. medical cannabis market was valued at USD 5.44 billion in 2016, and is expected to be valued at USD 19.48 billion by 2024. The legal cannabis market is expected to be driven by its numerous medical benefits particularly in for fields of oncology, chronic pain and diabetes. Chronic pain was the largest segment owing to the presence of a large number of patients last year. In 2016, Washington D.C. together with other 28 states legitimated the use cannabis for medical purpose. Favorable regulatory environment across numerous states, including the largest markets, California and Colorado, is expected to contribute to the strong projected growth. Global Payout, Inc.
