Consumers and investors alike are excited about the emergence of the cannabis industry in the U.S. Legalization is gaining momentum state by state and social acceptance at the federal level. Specialty retailer GrowGeneration (NASDAQ: GRWG) is a potential stock for investors looking for broad exposure to U.S. cannabis. Here are three reasons why GrowGeneration is positioned to thrive in the coming years.
1. Cannabis laws are rapidly changing
In 2012, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational cannabis. Since then, the momentum has picked up across the United States. Recreational cannabis is now legal in 19 states, and 36 have legalized it for medicinal use.
