Score one for the stoners: The pot industry is poised to be gigantic
as more states embrace legalization. And, if you want to get in on the
ground floor, several advocates say now is the right time to bet big on
marijuana.
"Overall public opinion of marijuana has
changed," said Dan Humiston, president of the International Cannabis
Association. "The stance has just softened. With time as the population
ages, a lot of the generations that were really opposed to it are being
replaced with the generations that are comfortable with it."
The Wall Street Journal reports that the
cannabis industry had a market capitalization of $3 billion as of April. There's currently more than 50 publicly traded pot-related companies.
Twenty-four states have legalized medical marijuana, and recreational
use for adults has been approved in Washington, Colorado, Alaska, Oregon
and Washington, D.C.
