The Cannabis
Industry
The cannabis market is rapidly expanding as more countries legalize or decriminalize cannabis - both for recreational and medical use. Accordingly, the demand for cannabis seeds is rapidly increasing.
More than 50 countries worldwide have legalized some form of medical cannabis, while six countries have legalized cannabis for recreational use by adults.
Cannabis cultivation for medical or recreational use has been legalized in 33 states within the United States.
It is permitted for medical and recreational use in Canada, Greece, North Macedonia, Uruguay, Luxembourg, Lesotho, South Africa, and Israel.
Numerous other countries have decriminalized the use of cannabis, while others are in the legalization process.
In the past few years, more and more European countries legalized medical use of cannabis, among those Germany, the UK, France, Spain and Italy.
