Midterm Election Results Point to a Bright Future for the Legal Marijuana Industry

NEW YORK, November 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The U.S. recently held its midterm elections, where Missouri and Utah opted to legalize cannabis for medical use. Now, the U.S. has 32 states and the District of Columbia that have legalized medical cannabis. According to data compiled by Global Market Insights, the U.S. medical cannabis market is expected to exceed a market value of USD 8.0 Billion by 2024. The market is rapidly growing due to the preference to choose cannabis over opioids. Medical cannabis will be driven by its usage to treat various conditions such as chronic pains, neurological disorders, cancer, HIV/AIDS and arthritis. States that have already legalized medical cannabis have shown positive results in terms of demand and tax revenue, causing others to explore medical cannabis usage legalization.
