If legalized, marijuana demand would exceed ice cream and movie tickets

The marijuana industry is growing so fast that if the government legalized it nationally it would outsell ice cream. A new report from Marijuana Business Daily estimates that the total demand for marijuana, including the black market, is $45-$50 billion. Annual ice cream sales are only $5.1 billion. Total recreational cannabis sales in the U.S. at this estimate would also top movie ticket sales ($11.1 billion) and snacks like Doritos, Cheetos and Funyuns ($4.9 billion.) .

The report says that the cannabis sector now employs between 165,000 and 230,000 full and part-time workers. “To put this in perspective, there are now more marijuana workers than there are bakers or massage therapists in the United States,” says the report. It even outnumbers dental hygienists.

It would also increase the demand for things like doritos and ice cream, thus driving up their sales.

It's stupid that we are putting people in prison for weed in 2017. And I'm a far right leaning Republican on most issues

Ice cream sales would mos def go up

this is not a surprise to me at all....I am sure that beer sales exceed those two items now, so we are talking about basically the same thing.

What's all this talk about a "Flat Tax"?
People with flat tires have enough problems already!

Legal. Illegal. Idgaf. won't stop me from smoking weed.

Currently: zero usage.
If legalized I would probably smoke once or twice a month. Maybe more, Maybe less.

Pretty much everyone I know smokes..... And they are all successful professionals..... I buy from a right wing trump voter who grows in his garage.

at least ice cream is somewhat ok for you. Legalizing a dangerous narcotic just because people would do it isn't really a good idea

And people were giving the idea of getting a Weed Ag degree crap last week. SMH

I can't imagine what legalized marijuana would do to the obese in the country...would be interesting.

Interesting information you have there. I'll tell my financial people to start drawing up some graphs.

This is why it's still illegal. It's worth too much on the black market.

Funyuns are the best salty snack of all time. There is no way pot would result in more sales.
Posted on 10/16/17 at 6:50 am to GreatLakesTiger24
By comparison- alcohol sales in the US last year were 223 billion
Posted on 10/16/17 at 6:56 am to GreatLakesTiger24
If legalized I'd buy edibles all the time.
Posted on 10/16/17 at 7:01 am to GreatLakesTiger24
How often does someone buy $50 worth of Doritos?
Posted on 10/16/17 at 7:34 am to GreatLakesTiger24
that's a goddamned shame.
