In 2021, the North American cannabis industry continued to grow and showed more promise than ever, with New York, New Jersey, Virginia, New Mexico, Montana and Connecticut all enacting, amending or passing adult-use cannabis legalisation.

The stock market has mirrored the slow-moving nature of federal reform. However, regional efforts are showing great promise. Revenues are rapidly growing, margins are expanding and markets are maturing, all signalling a bright future for the burgeoning North American cannabis industry.

Prohibition Partners estimates that adult-use cannabis sales in the United States are set to reach US$18.5 billion in 2022, and grow by 218% to US$58.8 billion by 2026. In Canada the market is expected to grow from US$4 billion in 2021 to US$7.6 billion in 2026.
