Shifting Opinions Open Doors for Cannabis Legalization Worldwide

NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past several years, the cannabis industry has witnessed an immense rise in global support as numerous countries have publicly advocated legalization. While many still remain indifferent, notable nations such as Australia, Colombia, Germany, France, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. have all moved to implement some form of cannabis legislation. In particular, medical cannabis is much more prominent because of the plant's therapeutic abilities. On the other hand, countries such as Uruguay, Canada, and parts of the U.S. have even legalized its recreational adult-use. Moreover, a handful of countries have decriminalized recreational use, meaning that consumers can use cannabis in moderate amounts without fear of jail time. But, despite global efforts, cannabis still remains on the Schedule 1 list of drugs, which is a list of the most regulated substances. Nonetheless, the cannabis industry is already a thriving multi-billion dollar marketplace, largely due to the U.S. and Canada. The North American region predominantly drives the global cannabis industry because of its flourishing recreational market, as the U.S. began adopting cannabis legislation back in the 1990s after California became the first state to legalize its medical use. Then, in 2014, Colorado and Washington made history by becoming the first two states to legalize cannabis fully. On the other hand, Canada implemented a partial medical cannabis program back in 2001, which was limited to specific chronic conditions. However, in late 2018, Canada made history by becoming the second nation ever to fully legalize cannabis. Now, the industry is experiencing tremendous momentum as more countries such as Mexico, New Zealand, and Thailand are exploring opportunities within the industry. According to Mordor Intelligence, the cannabis market is expected to reach USD 89.1 Billion from USD 14.5 Billion in 2018. Additionally, the market is expected to register a CAGR of 37% during the forecast period from 2019 to 2024. Chineseinvestors.com Inc.

While cannabis legalization is quickly penetrating global markets, it is still heavily regulated by federal officials. However, researchers have been evaluating the efficacy of cannabis in order to expunge the misconceptions that surround the plant. Through extensive clinical trials, researchers uncovered that cannabis is primarily split into two parts, hemp and marijuana. Primarily, the common stereotype of "getting high" is associated with cannabis' marijuana component, which is predominantly composed of THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, which causes psychoactive effects on the consumer. On the other hand, cannabis' hemp derivative is mainly composed of CBD or cannabidiol, which does not stimulate mind-altering effects. And although they two both derive from the cannabis plant, their biological makeup widely differs. However, both derivatives are in high demand for the recreational and medical markets. Specifically, the medical marketplace is using marijuana to alleviate severe conditions such as symptoms associated with cancer, chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Conversely, the recreational market is enjoying cannabis simply for its social and relaxing qualities. Now, the combination of the recreational and medical segments is expected to deliver worldwide cannabis spending of USD 44.8 Billion in the next five years. "The rise in legal cannabis is increasing in appeal as the demand for the plant shifts from illicit and illegal to promising and profitable," said Melek Dexter, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ReUP. "The future of cannabis includes removing barriers to access and control so that everyone can benefit."
