America's most populous state is about to usher in the largest legal cannabis market in the world, with up to $7 billion in annual sales, more than 100,000 jobs created and close to $1 billion in tax revenue. California has always been a trendsetter, and now it is poised to set the tone for marijuana legalization in the U.S., and the world.
The third installment of the Institutional Capital & Cannabis Conference will take place in the epicenter of this movement, Los Angeles. By some estimates, the second largest city in the U.S. is already home to a billion-dollar cannabis market.
