Lit Up And Ready To Go

摘要

According to a recent report on the COVID-19 outlook and impact on medicinal marijuana, the canna-bis market is poised to $US22.33 billion by 2024, averaging CAGR (compound annual growth rate) gains of over 24 per cent. It's safe to say that within the next decade, the everyday routine of millions of American con-sumers will integrate some type of cannabis, whether as a functional food and beverage in-gredient, a beauty product, or as a health or mood aid. For the time being, however, the cannabis industry remains small, fragmented and some-what complicated. The legal landscape in the U.S. surrounding cannabis sales is a patchwork of local laws that are often inconsistent. Furthermore, because flowering marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, interstate commerce is forbidden. The industry is essentially cash-only, scattered and has limited capital investment in automated technologies. For the most part, the industry continues to rely on manual labor for processing and packaging.
