The cannabis industry could have a notable economic impact, if the U.S. federal government stays out of the way.
Investors are always on the lookout for fast-growing industries, which means there's no surprise why marijuana stocks have been such strong performers over the past year. Far more pot stocks than not with a market cap of at least $200 million have doubled or tripled in value over the past year.
Optimistic growth figures for the industry are seemingly everywhere. Aside from the fact that a record number of Americans surveyed by Gallup and CBS News want to see cannabis legalized from both a recreational and medical perspective, the sales growth in the legal-weed industry has been phenomenal. Following 34% growth in legal weed sales in North America last year to $6.9 billion, total sales of recreational and medical marijuana are forecast to expand to $21.6 billion in North America by 2021, according to ArcView Market Research. This sustainable growth has been precisely why investors have latched on to marijuana stocks as possibly the greatest thing since sliced bread.....

Better than drunk nation
And freepers will continue to do the aghast fan dance
Lot of potheads here on FR, huh?
Not better, the same. Just more of them.
Yes, there are robberies occuring at Oregon Marijuana shops. More than I expected.
“The Weed Industry Could Create 283,422 Jobs by 2020”
...and that’s just in the snack food industry.
Thank you, I’ll be here all week.
Hey Marvin! How ya been?
“the poster boy for marijuana”
Still pushing the same tired fallacy. Kinda like a broken record you forget is useless but you keep putting it on the turntable anyway.
Ricky Gates is YOUR poster boy.
Have a nice day, Marvin. :)
Over Sessions dead career! Oh wait...
Hopefully the people who gave these candies to the kids will be put under the jail for a very long time.
Kids should not be using cannabis, drinking alcohol or using tobacco until they are of legal age to do so.
Adults who provide these substances to kids before they are of legal age should be prosecuted, IMO.
“No word on the costs associated with having a bunch of people buzzed who are driving, going to work, etc.”
There hasn’t been any “word” on this issue because it’s always been illegal to drive while impaired.
You’re right: when I did laundry, I could have executed better.
Later, I saw a sock on the floor in front of the washer and dryer.
Was it clean? Dirty?
I should not have dropped it. I blame pot for my lack of awareness when doing laundry.
And don’t even get me started on the folding phase.
No matter how hard he sneers and posts and tries, pot promoter stickman can’t change this:
No discussion of marijuana would be complete without mention of Ricky Gates, the poster boy for marijuana, who drove his Conrail train through three red stop signals head on into an Amtrak train in 1987, killing 16 and injuring 174. In a 1993 interview with The Baltimore Sun, Gates said the accident would have never happened if not for marijuana.
Fatal crashes involving drivers who recently used marijuana doubled in Washington after the state legalized the drug, the AAA reports. The significant increase in fatal crashes involving marijuana is alarming, said Peter Kissinger, AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety CEO, adding that Washington serves as an eye-opening case study for what other states may experience with road safety after legalizing the drug.

“No matter how hard he sneers and posts and tries, pot promoter stickman cant change this:”
Your broken record is truly hilarious, Marvin. In one sentence you confirm my earlier post.
Ricky Gates is your poster boy, Marvin. I wouldn’t be surprised if you have a picture of him on your bedroom ceiling. Your obsession with a tragedy however, is something to be pitied. I hope you feel better soon.
Take care Marvin. Some of us have work to do. :)
Except that the product is illegal, this industry has great potential!
That’s what I gleaned from my cursory reading of the article.
Pot promoter stickman cant face this:
No discussion of marijuana would be complete without mention of Ricky Gates, the poster boy for marijuana, who drove his Conrail train through three red stop signals head on into an Amtrak train in 1987, killing 16 and injuring 174. In a 1993 interview with The Baltimore Sun, Gates said the accident would have never happened if not for marijuana.
God bless you, Marvin.
Lots of drunks here on FR eh?
im neither btw but I know from personal observation and use at times in my life of 60 years that marijuana however not harmless is far less damaging than drink
No question
And how we’ve imprisoned folks in a free culture is insane
That’s it
Any further extrapolation you draw about me is on you
Whatnext?, this is what is becoming common in Oregon:
