U.S. Medical Marijuana Market size to exceed $23Bn by 2030

Published Date: October 31, 2022

U.S. Medical Marijuana Market size is estimated to surpass USD 23 billion by 2030, as per a new research report announced by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Steady growth in acceptance of marijuana as a therapeutic drug will drive efforts toward the legalization of medical cannabis in the U.S. For instance, in July 2022, government representatives announced plans to introduce ground-breaking legislation that will lift federal prohibitions on marijuana. The move intends to leverage the Cannabis Administration & Opportunity Act to decriminalize weed on a federal level, allowing each state to set individual marijuana laws.
 

A similar move was initiated earlier in January 2022 when some representatives in the state of Wisconsin launched an attempt to legalize medical marijuana. The bill would help patients falling under the predetermined list of medical conditions to use medical marijuana on a doctor’s recommendation. Increasing awareness among patients regarding the health benefits of cannabis-infused drugs will encourage medical marijuana companies to expand their product portfolio.
