The pandemic severely affected the logistics network for cannabis and its derivatives and due to the ongoing restrictions, the government authorized dispensaries are also facing shortages owing to disruption in the supply chain network. Import and export of nearly all commodities essential or not have been affected as well. However, with the governments endorsing legalization, the demand has risen and is likely to be high in the next few years. Patients are opting for marijuana derivatives instead of the prescription medicines previously being used.

With the government policies changing, the demand for medical marijuana is also rising. A lot of countries that have legalized the use of medical marijuana are also paving way for its cultivation to cut on the imports and gain revenue in the form of taxes. This, in turn, has generated jobs in the industry and a lot more companies are dabbling in this territory. Several startups in the U.S. and Europe are now focusing on alternate uses of cannabis, other than recreational and medicinal. With so much happening in and around the cannabis industries, the countries are paving way for more liberal policies regarding its cultivation and usage in the medical field as well as industrial use.

The U.S. is seeing a growing number of cultivators for cannabis, including marijuana since this rakes in more revenues for the government and also cuts down on the cost of import. It has a myriad of applications from medical to industrial and since its legalization, the rise in its sale has been exponential and this has generated new opportunities to increase revenues. With the FDA-level authorizations underway, the market for legal marijuana is only going to expand. A large number of clinical trials will support the prowess of marijuana derivatives for it to be legally prescribed for indications.
