Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it. Those in the cannabis industry are left with burning questions such as which states and industries are dominant, and which are on the rise? What are the industry trends to pay attention to in order to thrive and not fail? How do entrances of international companies from Europe, Canada, Asia, Central and South America, and Africa come into play?
