The commercial cannabis market, which is rapidly developing in the United States where legalization is legal, is open to Israeli investors and is growing rapidly (literally) Nir Kipnis in a series of articles on one of the fascinating investment channels.
Sorry for the intimate question, but where is your money invested? You do not have to answer me, but what if I tell you that in the last few days the Israelis have had an opportunity to invest in one of the most promising markets in the world economy, a market that has grown at a dizzying rate in recent years, For details, but first of all, a little about cannabis.
Medical cannabis has been heard by everyone. This is a growing market in which Israel is considered one of the pioneers of research and development. Cannabis-based drugs already exist in the market, are legal in most Western countries and have great potential. Large but limited – because in the end cannabis is not a panacea and the number of diseases and their physiological manifestations can be cured with cannabis-based drugs, it is limited.
In contrast to this market, which is developing within clear boundaries, there is another, much more exciting market, where growth seems promising even when we look decades ahead. I mean commercial cannabis.
What is commercial cannabis?
Well, commercial cannabis is the growth, distribution and illegal trade of marijuana. Let this phrase percolate a bit before we need details, because what is amazing about this almost virgin field is that the deeper one goes into detail and requires data, numbers and forecasts, the more interesting the investment becomes.
Cannabis crops
Californication
Ten states in the United States already have full legalization of cannabis, and the estimate is that their number will only increase, due to public support for the idea of legalization and advanced legislative steps. The commercial cannabis market is leading, if not, California – the country that is perhaps the most advanced marker of the American and global economy.
With all due respect to the financial center in New York, the ideas that shape the next generation for about a century come from California: Hollywood, the 1960s revolution that shaped contemporary American culture, and of course the high-tech industry that changes our lives all day.
California is not only a country that has been fully legalized in the field of cannabis and its products, but has also become a pioneer in the growth and development of the most highly regarded varieties in the market. If Silicon Valley develops the technological innovations and Napa Valley produces excellent wine, next to the vineyards, the world’s best legal marijuana grows.
This is the place to make it clear: these are completely legal businesses. While US federal law still does not recognize the legalization of marijuana (for example, it is forbidden to transport cannabis from one country to another, even when it is perfectly legal in both countries), but in ten US states, consumption and trade are completely legal and legal. And possibly also very lucrative: data and forecasts indicate a dizzying growth.
Green lifestyle
The commercial cannabis market is growing not only in terms of the gradual increase in the number of countries in the US and worldwide, but also in the areas where it is already legal: Cannabis tourism is developing rapidly and related products are becoming increasingly common.
For example, food products containing cannabis – for those who prefer to consume it not through smoking or animal food, for those who want to transfer their pet to a green lifestyle, and more. In this phrase “lifestyle,” a green way of life in which the connection to nature becomes the nature of man and the community around him is a trait that characterizes this generation, which views cannabis as an inseparable part of its being.
How do you invest in commercial cannabis?
So the market is growing and growing, but can I be an Israeli legally involved? The answer is yes: Ecoland has opened a number of investment channels for an Israeli audience interested in integrating into commercial and legal cannabis – from growing gestures to the endpoints where the final product is sold.
These are businesses that have been growing steadily in recent years, are in the process of accelerated growth, and according to all the indices and forecasts, the rosy future, the green-forgiven, is still ahead of them.
In the next chapters of our journey between the various stations of legal and commercial cannabis, we will present different angles of this fascinating market – we will follow the change in the discourse around it, which undergoes an accelerated process of change from an underground character to a discourse reminiscent of the world of wine.
We will meet people who have embraced the green lifestyle as part of their existence and the towers that are considered pioneers in the field. We will tour the end stores and get to know the wide range of products they are allowed to sell and more.
Until the next chapter, numbers can speak:
