Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary

PALM BEACH, Florida, Oct. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier this year, analysts at Jefferies said the cannabis industry could become a $130 billion industry over the next 10 years. "This assumes full U.S. federal legalization, full recreational and medical legalization across Europe, full medical and recreational legalization across Lat Am, and cannabis disruption of a number of other industries," noted the analysts, as quoted by Yahoo Finance. Other big contributors to global cannabis growth include Thailand, where medicinal cannabis was approved in December 2018. According to Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, global spending on cannabis could reach $57 billion by 2027. In addition, Canada will legalize cannabis-based edibles, beverages, and topicals later this week. That's opening a wide range of opportunity for companies such as Nutritional High International Inc. (CSE:EAT) (OTCQB:SPLIF), Aphria Inc. (NYSE:APHA) (TSX:APHA), Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), and HEXO Corporation (NYSE:HEXO) (TSX:HEXO).
