Legalized marijuana is now a recognized drug in 35 states. The cannabis industry is booming and female cannapreneurs are thriving. Even though it is still considered a controlled substance under federal government guidelines, recreational cannabis has been smoked for centuries to achieve relief from stress and depression and to treat chronic pain and sickness. Marijuana companies also use the non-psychoactive ingredient CBD (cannabidiol) in many edibles such as chocolate, tea and gummies and also tinctures like oils and body lotion.
Legalized Marijuana
The pandemic is helping drive the thriving cannabis industry. In 2019, the legalized marijuana market made 3.1 billion dollars. Cannabis sales for 2021 will near $35 billion and global sales are forecasted to reach 62.1 billion by 2026. Technology is assisting weed delivery companies and online directories (such as bud.com) in reaching new customers. And massive cannabis trade shows like Hall of Flowers in Cathedral City, California, have elevated the industry by facilitating in-person B2B commerce between top brands and retailers.
Hall Of Flowers Trade Show
The 2 day inaugural show took place on December 8 and 9. Thousands of industry attendees meandered inside a colossal 84,000 square foot convention space to network and celebrate all things cannabis. Meanwhile, a shangri-la atmosphere was created outside with artificial turf, food trucks, café lights and huge comfortable pillows to relax and work. Attendees were asked to only sample cannabis products outdoors. A special state-of-the-art air neutralizing system was also created to prevent cannabis odors from lingering or escaping the trade show area.
