Medical
marijuana is now a $1.7-billion market in the U.S. This means that
sales of medical marijuana rival the annual revenue generated by
Viagra, a $1.9-billion business.
What's
more, the medical marijuana market is expected to nearly double in
the next five years, and that's just in the 15 U.S. states where
the drug is legal. If another 20 states pass medical marijuana laws,
which projections show is possible, the market could grow to $8.9
billion by 2016.
