– Trends that will impact the European Cannabis industry
Despite Europe having a more liberal view of cannabis, it has fallen behind other markets integrating cannabis into society either through medical, recreational or industrial use. However this is now changing rapidly with Germany, Italy & Israel leading the advancement of cannabis in Europe. The considered approach to legalisation and regulation makes Europe a very attractive new market to international businesses who are already operating in this space and can apply their craft to these new markets.
The development of legal cannabis in Europe would significantly impact the European economy through tax revenue and increased employment. For European countries like Spain & Greece who are still reeling from the effects of the global recession, the legal cannabis industry presents an immediate opportunity to bolster public coffers and become leaders of the European Cannabis industry.
