According to a research by Arcview Market Research, CBD and legal cannabis products are forecast to reaccelerate in the beginning of 2018. The sales of products for legal recreational use will increase in Canada, California, and Massachusetts, along with medical sales in Florida. This growth will push the $6.7-billion market of 2016 at a robust 27% CAGR to $22.6 billion in 2021. According to the report, the 20+% annual growth rate is likely to continue for many years past 2021, as more states and countries legalize cannabis.
