Biden’s take on cannabis

The cannabis industry could be a big winner on US Election Day

It’s still too close to call but if Biden takes the US Election, he will be the next President of the United States. While the CBD industry continues to boom in the USA, what does this mean for legal cannabis use in the States?

His VP candidate Kamala Harris was more forthright saying, “We will decriminalise cannabis, and we will expunge the records of those who have been convicted of (possessing) cannabis.” With some states where cannabis sales have been legalised reporting 30% growth of sales since the start of the pandemic, it looks like there’s no stopping these green shoots.
