In the US, 33 states, Washington, D.C. and the territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands have legalized medical weed. Ten states allow adult-use cannabis. The passage of the Farm Bill in December legalized industrial hemp on a federal level.
In Israel, medical weed and hemp are legal and the country is about to allow cannabis exports.
In this way, the three countries are well-positioned to be leaders in the cannabis space, which in turn creates a favorable environment for companies to invest in cannabis technologies — giving
investors have the opportunity to take advantage of the growth.
