HMLSF - Adult-Use vs. Medical Cannabis Markets: What Investors Need to Know
The marijuana sector is rapidly evolving. Although the drug is still illegal at the federal level, 16 states and Washington, D.C. have approved the drug for adult-use, and over 30 states have approved the drug for medical use.
