Hello, im in for juliette. Just a few days away from 4 20, which is the unofficial holiday celebrating marijuana. But its coming in a time when a lot of legal pot businesses are barely squeezing by. California is still the Worlds Largest market for legalized recreational marijuana. But it has been struggling. The state reported just over 5 billion in total cannabis sales last year.
