The next big industry you should be plopping your investment money down in? Newspaper publishing. Err, I mean marijuana (puts down blunt, gets to work).
Check out the video below from CNN (naturally, the Cannabis News Network) wherein reporter Miguel Marquez attends a pot trade show in Las Vegas. He gets really high and Cheech and Chong-type hilarity ensues … if only.
“Pot isn’t waiting for laws to catch up. Here in Las Vegas, investors taking a risk for, possibly, huge returns as the cannabis industry is moving fast to capture a market just emerging from the shadows,” Marquez says in the intro to his serious news segment before moving on to report on savory pot pretzels.
Troy Dayton, CEO and co-founder of cannabis investment network The Arcview Group, describes the pot industry’s growth in the video:
“In 2013, our research arm put this at $1.5 billion industry, the legal cannabis market, growing to a $2.6 billion industry this year. That’s a 68 percent increase … You will not find another industry growing at this clip.”
What about the quesarito industry, huh, Troy? You ever think about that, Mr. Smarty-Pants CEO? If the pot industry is going to grow by 68 percent, the quesarito industry will also grow by 68 percent in turn (puts down quesarito, goes to sleep).
