Global Cannabis Cultivation Market: Overview 

Since Uruguay became the first country to legalize Marijuana in 2013, many others like Canada have followed suit. Still others who haven’t yet legalized it, like Netherlands and Portugal, are moving to a much relaxed framework. Denmark for instance, has allowed limited sales of low-strength cannabis through cafes and in Poland, people can now buy it for medical purpose through few pharmacies.
