According to data by Hexa Research, the U.S. medicinal cannabis market size was valued at USD 5.44 Billion in 2016 and is expected to hit USD 19.48 billion by 2024. Some of the factors contributing to the growth of the industry are several medical benefits of cannabis products and the quickening pace of legalization in the United States. The report also explains that in 2016, a rising number of patients diagnosed with chronic pain had resulted in the growing use of cannabis. The report estimated that the demand for medicinal cannabis for arthritis will grow at a CAGR of 17.8% over the projected period as it forecasted more adults and children will develop arthritis. Cannabis infused edibles are also anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 17.8% over the forecast period. High Hampton Hldgs Corp. (OTC: HHPHF), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI), Lexaria Bioscience Corp.

In states like California for example, where new recreational cannabis laws went into effect on January 1st, 2018, The Arcview Group analysis is projecting an increase in sales of cannabis. The legalization of adult-use sales in California will lead to the creation of nearly 99,000 cannabis industry jobs in the state by 2021, about a third of all cannabis jobs nationwide, and 146,000 jobs overall when indirect and induced effects are considered. Troy Dayton, CEO of The Arcview Group explained, "The economic excitement around the legal cannabis industry is no longer just theory. 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."
