Hi there, Quartz members!
Weed’s growth strategy
Today, we kick off our weeklong deep dive into the world of cannabis. What used to be dealt in the shadows and the margins is poised to become a massive new industry as marijuana legalization continues to roll across the globe. We start with our state of play memo, which looks at how big the marijuana market could be, who’s already in the lead, and what challenges still lie in the way of cannabis becoming a sustainable business.
And then, just in case you need a cheat sheet, we have a cheat sheet: five quick points for you to remember the next time cannabis is the topic of conversation.
More on cannabis this week
We’ll be rolling out many other articles about weed and its rise over the week, including:
- A look at the industry leaders in legal weed
- Charts galore showing the opportunities and obstacles for a cannabis industry
- How cannabis is changing farming technology
- An essay that argues for slowing down the industrialization of pot
- Not to mention photo essays, interviews, a tool kit of resources and lots more…
Let’s keep learning. Send ideas, questions, comments, and mellow vibes to members@qz.com.
Hope you have a rewarding day,
