However, some trends continued [2].</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">Marijuana delivery and curbside pickup were about equal in 2020’s first half. However, the first half of 2021 showed that more consumers are now in favor of cannabis delivery. Cannabis delivery made up 60% of 2021’s orders, compared to 2020s 40%.</li> <li aria-level="1">Cannabis deliveries increased by 97% compared to 2020’s first half.</li> </ul> <p>Edibles may have gained popularity during the pandemic. However, cannabis flowers still remained the popular choice. It made up 50% of the whole cannabis sales in January 2022 [20].</p> <h2><span id="Whats_the_Future_of_the_US_Cannabis_Industry"><strong>What’s the Future of the U.S. Cannabis Industry?</strong></span></h2> <p>The future of the country’s marijuana industry seems pretty rosy [20].</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">The legal medical cannabis industry could increase from $9 billion in 2020 to a $17 billion industry by 2030.</li> <li aria-level="1">The legal recreational industry could grow from $20 billion in 2020 to a $58 billion industry by 2030.</li> </ul> <h2><span id="Final_Thoughts_US_Marijuana_Industry_Outlook"><strong>Final Thoughts — U.S. Marijuana Industry Outlook</strong></span></h2> <p>We can expect the country’s legal marijuana industry to continue growing. The number of medical and recreational cannabis consumers is expected to grow in the coming years. In time, weed will become a part of daily life. Marijuana sales are up. Support for marijuana legalization on a federal level has also increased.</p> <p>Social acceptance has risen as well. There are now more states with some form of legal marijuana than states where it’s fully illegal.</p> <p>If market prediction stays true, the country’s legal marijuana market could easily become a $58 billion to $72 billion industry [20].</p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <ol> <li aria-level="1"><em>2021 Annual Marijuana Business Factbook</em>.
