The legal marijuana market in North America is exploding, with marijuana (cannabis) sales predicted to hit $9.7 billion in 2017, a 33% increase over 2016. The growth is buoyed by new American states legalizing marijuana, and sales exceeding expectations in existing markets. The entire legal cannabis market is projected to reach $24.5 billion - a 28% annual growth rate by 2021. The hottest sector to be in right now is the one that, well, generates smoke.
