SUMMARY: Surgent's Marijuana: A Generalized Business Viewpoint
DESCRIPTION: Each year\, more states legalize cannabis (i.e.\, marijuana) for medical or recreational purposes. As legalization grows\, so too does the cannabis industry. While some financial professionals have stayed away from this growing sector of the economy\, others have embraced the opportunities the cannabis industry has to offer. 
The legalization of cannabis brings with it a complex regulatory landscape\, which includes strict compliance with federal and state regulations. However\, the complexity of this emerging market provides opportunities for accountants and other financial professionals. Behind the cannabis dispensaries are scores of related business sectors including food production\, retail\, farming\, and chemical production\, as well as facilities\, design\, and construction. Simply stated\, the commercialization of marijuana offers financial professionals an opportunity to participate in an industry expected to reach $73 billion worldwide within six years.
