Growth figures

As per the latest report by ArcView Market Research, the marijuana sector boomed by a whopping 74% to $2.7 billion, accounting as the fastest growing industry in the U.S. Moreover, the increased participation of states in legalizing pot for medicinal and recreational use has also inspired the company to foray into the cannabis business.
