Now that the state of California has approved a ballot initiative (called Proposition 64) that would legalize marijuana for recreational use, the state’s already-booming marijuana growing industry is split nearly evenly on whether or not to support it.

At first glance, legalizing marijuana for adult recreational use would appear to be a large benefit to the state’s pot growers, many of whom raise the plant on small farms along the north coast in Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity counties. These growers have long supported decriminalization of marijuana, but fear the full legalization will encourage large corporations to enter the cannabis-farming business, driving out small operations.

As individuals change into increasingly excepting of the miracle drugs, it’s simpler and simpler to face out in public and protest criminalization or anti-cannabis legal guidelines, with out concern of repercussion.

Foria Relief, which pot enthusiast and writer Sophie Saint Thomas points out is “the first—and only—cannabis suppository on the market dedicated to treating menstrual cramps,” contains only three ingredients: organic cocoa butter, THC oil, and CBD Isolate.

Whatever you want to call it – pot, weed, ganja, grass – more and more investors are growing curious about marijuana’s future and related investment opportunities. Indeed, the industry has progressed to the point where the medical use of marijuana is gaining greater acceptance.

Within the last six years ago, the number of Americans who support legalizing medical marijuana has risen from 70 to 90 percent according to polls by Quinnipiac and Gallup. Those who support overall legalization has risen from 46 percent to 54 percent.

Let’s explore some of the recent news and changes to the marijuana industry that could impact the industry’s growth and accessibility for investors.
