It has also been predicted that Canada will hit $3.16 billion in cannabis sales in 2020, twice of 2019 revenues (Bloomberg). All the statistics and data show that opportunities in the Canadian cannabis sector are only going to continue to flourish, and the receipt of an in-depth education can only lead to great payoffs.

The Cannabis Story

Despite almost a century of prohibition, Canadians’ use of cannabis for, both, medical and recreational proposes never stopped, it just went underground. Through persistent lobbying, both, on the streets and in the courts, Canadians have fought for their right to freely use this most valuable plant. Medical cannabis has been legal in Canada since 2001, however, it was difficult to find a doctor willing to authorize its use and the only legal source was of poor quality and hard to obtain. Regulated retail sale of cannabis became legal across Canada in 2018.
As the first G7 country to legalize cannabis, Canada has become a leader in the global cannabis industry for both, medical and retail sales. Other countries look to Canada as a model for implementing legalization in their respective countries.
