PALM BEACH, Florida, September 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary

BDS Analytics recently commented that the total economic output from legal cannabis is expected to grow 150% from $16 billion in 2017 to $40 billion by 2021, according to the "US Legal Cannabis: Driving $40 Billion Economic Output" report released today by Arcview Market Research, in partnership with BDS Analytics. "The economic excitement around the legal cannabis industry is no longer just theory," said Troy Dayton, CEO of The Arcview Group. "Due to the giant impact adult-use legalization is already having in the United States, it's vital for key stakeholders to understand the full impact of legalization, beyond just retail sales numbers." Investors across North America appear to be craving marijuana stocks as Canada prepares to legalize cannabis next month, leading to giant gains for Canada-based companies listed on U.S. exchanges. Two major events on the horizon are expected to have huge potential to drive marijuana stock value which include Canadian marijuana legalization and the U.S. midterm elections. For obvious reasons, Canadian cannabis legalization is believed to be a major boon for marijuana stocks. In fact, Canada's announcement a few years ago that cannabis would be legalized at a federal level is what helped spark the surge in the industry in the first place.

(TSX-V:FIRE) (OTC:SPRWF).
