According to the U.S., marijuana was the most widely used drug globally in 2014 with around 183 million users. Such a large user base makes it highly lucrative taxable opportunity, which is influencing various governments worldwide to initiate studies regarding legalization of the drug for medicinal use. The National Institute on Drug Abuse is conducting research on cannabis (marijuana) to treat numerous diseases and conditions such as autoimmune disease, pain, inflammation, seizures, mental disorders, and substance abuse disorders. Regulatory compliance is a key factor that influences cost, quality, and safety of cannabis (marijuana) medicines, as well as the capacity for the manufacturers in the medical cannabis market to be responsive, scalable, and innovative.

Market Dynamics
According to the Medical Marijuana, Inc., an estimated size of the legal marijuana industry in the U.S. was US$ 7.1 billion in 2016 with increase of 25% Y-o-Y. In 2016, 28 states in the U.S. have legalized marijuana for medicinal purpose with some more gearing up for votes on the recreational use of marijuana. California, Nevada, Maine, and Massachusetts states in November 2016, voted to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. The accelerated pace of legalization of cannabis (marijuana) in the U.S. has attracted the attention of global investors in the medical cannabis market. However, lack of formulation of a comprehensive law pertaining to medical marijuana in some states inhibits patient access to the drug.

Legalization of medicinal cannabis in various economies is expected to drive the market growth
Some of the major factors driving growth of the market include increasing approval of medicinal cannabis products and increasing research and development activities. For instance, in March 2017, a law that allows the use of cannabis plant was signed by the German parliament. This would in turn allow the healthcare professionals to prescribe medicinal cannabis products to the patients suffering from severe health issues such as chronic pain, vomiting, and nausea. However, excessive consumption of cannabis will induce tachycardia, which will in turn increase the risk of heart attack, especially for users who already suffer from heart disease or arrhythmias. This is expected to hinder growth of the market.

Expansion of medicinal cannabis product by various manufacturers is a prominent factor fueling market growth
Medicinal cannabis manufacturers in the U.S. are actively focusing on expansion of their medicinal cannabis product business. For instance, in July 2016, Insys Therapeutics, Inc. received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for dronabinol oral solution- Syndros, an orally administered liquid formulation of the pharmaceutical cannabinoid dronabinol. The Syndros is indicated to be used in the treatment of anorexia associated with weight loss among patients suffering from AIDS and those suffering from cancer chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Moreover, in January 2018, Apria, Inc. entered into a distribution agreement with Cannabis Wheaton, to supply 60,000 kilograms of the cannabis products between January 2018 and February 2022. The agreement allows Aphria to expand its brand through Cannabis Wheaton’s strong distribution network in Canada.
