Cannabis pros are expecting the industry to look and feel quite different on the heels of President Joe Biden s inauguration. The cannabis industry will certainly see a fresh influx of investment dollars under a Biden administration, Narmin Jarrous, the chief development officer of Michigan s first licensed recreational cannabis retailer Exclusive Brands LLC, told Benzinga.
Democrats taking control of the U.S. Senate bodes well for marijuana reform. But it won t be on the fervent levels that were seen in 2015 and 2016, Jarrous said.
