Cannabis in 2022 – Hurry Up and Wait – Cannabis Industry Journal
Here we are entering a new year. Finally, many states in the United States have agreed to legalize adult-use cannabis either through medical or adult-use programs. In 2021, we saw Connecticut, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York and Virginia all legalize adult-use, bringing the total to 18 states that now allow adult-use and 36 for medical use. State-led initiatives have been the backbone for this emerging industry.
