Why POLITICO Pro Cannabis? The cannabis industry is booming, with annual revenues projected to hit $80 billion in the next decade. It’s also bewilderingly complex and constantly evolving, with a 50-state patchwork quilt of rules and regulations.
The thorny issues that this burgeoning industry must navigate cut across almost every policy area: health care, agriculture, financial services, transportation, taxes and labor, among others. The challenges of navigating this landscape are exacerbated by the unprecedented conflict between state and federal laws.
Most media coverage does not reflect this reality. The cannabis industry is still typically treated as a novelty and an opportunity to make bad weed puns.

We’ll be able to tap into experts from across our 15 other policy verticals to bolster coverage.
Up until this point, most of the action on cannabis has been in state capitols.

In the coming years, legislative and regulatory decisions will be made that will shape this industry for decades to come. POLITICO Pro Cannabis will be your indispensable guide to understanding this emerging policy landscape.
