Perhaps one of the biggest and fastest growing trends emerging during the last several years goes to the prominent and up until recently illegal, cannabis industry.
While the industry of growing cannabis and manufacturing cannabis bi-products and edibles is still illegal in greater part of the world, many countries in the US, as well as Canada, decided to make medicinal marijuana legal, while in Canada, cannabis is legal for recreational use as well.
Changes in regulations have brought profits into the main focus, which is why the industry of cannabis appears to be one of the most profitable in the present state in the market.
At the same time, companies that are working with cannabis and are publicly traded have shown immense progress in the market, while individual investors as well as companies, have shown interest in investing in cannabis giants.
