Yesterday we covered the U.S. states that could legalize cannabis this year. Now, let s talk about the rest of the world.
While many eyes are on the United States right now, particularly when it comes to the tumultuous handover of the presidency to Joe Biden, the cannabis industry is much broader than just the U.S., and in 2021, we may see several more countries legalize the plant for medical or recreational use.
This is partly due to the change in scheduling from the U.N., removing cannabis from its Schedule IV category, in addition to European courts deeming that CBD isn t a narcotic. These two rulings will certainly bode well for countries looking at regulatory bodies when deciding their stance on cannabis.
