While cannabis use is not legal in most regions of the world, it is legal for purchase in certain states for recreational use, and in most states for medical purposes.
The potential for medical use, especially for treating glaucoma, the negative effects of chemo and disease-related loss of appetite for cancer and AIDS patients are factors propelling the market.
