Marijuana Drive-Thrus and Online Weed Orders Are a Real Possibility in This State
Few industries are growing as quickly as the legal marijuana industry. Within the U.S. -- according to data from Marijuana Business Daily's most recent annual report, entitled Marijuana Business Factbook 2017 -- legal pot sales are expected to grow by 30% in 2017 and 45% in 2018, and push higher by a total of 300% between 2016 and 2021 to about $17 billion.
A big reason why legal weed sales are growing so quickly is the changing perception of pot among the public. Gallup, which has taken various polls on the public's perception of cannabis over the course of 47 years, found in 1995 that only a quarter of the population was in favor of legalizing the drug nationally. By 2016, this figure had jumped to an all-time record high of 60%. A more supportive view of marijuana is what's allowed 29 states to have legalized medical cannabis, and pushed voters in eight states to give a green light to recreational weed.
