Cannabis can be eaten or smoked. Cannabis consumption creates a slight sense of euphoria. In several regions of the world, as well as many states in the United States, recreational cannabis use is illegal.

The plant has been discovered to be effective in medicine, particularly as a treatment for glaucoma and disease-related loss of appetite and wasting, which is common in cancer, AIDS, and other disorders. The majority of cannabis grown now is a hybrid that combines traits from two or more of these main species.

Increase in the legalization of cannabis fuels the growth of the Cannabis Market. Cannabis legalization is frequently viewed in a dual perspective, with skepticism connected with the possibility of abuse. People can now use cannabis in a safe manner while also benefiting from its medical properties, owing to its legalization. As a result, numerous countries around the world are gradually legalizing the use of cannabis. While most countries across the world have still yet to legalize cannabis for recreational use, attitudes toward its use and sale have been more relaxed over time.

As a result, cannabis has become increasingly popular in numerous places, propelling the overall Cannabis Market forward.

However, the complex regulatory structure for the use of cannabis is one of the major factors restraining the market’s growth. Companies that sell cannabis and cannabis-infused goods must follow varied regulatory rules all over the world. Manufacturers and stakeholders may find it difficult to comply with the tight regulatory requirements governing the manufacturing and sale of cannabis in different nations. Furthermore, because the laws governing the use of cannabis differ from country to country, the worldwide market’s growth is hampered even further.

Furthermore, the legalization of cannabis in the Asia Pacific could provide a lucrative growth opportunity for the Cannabis Market. China, which is already a big market for industrial hemp, is anticipated to become a major market for industrial cannabis in the coming years. Many significant participants in the cannabis sector are waiting for legislative changes in the Asia Pacific area, which they believe would open up huge opportunities for the industry. Several countries in the region might be low-cost cannabis producers with large production capacities.
