The cannabis industry is a fast growing, emerging industry in the United States and Canada. Legalization of cannabis for medical and recreational use in a number of states in the United States and in Canada has presented a variety of opportunities and legal challenges for pioneering companies that are creating a multi‐billion dollar industry.
