Among the many parties who would benefit from widespread legalization of recreational cannabis sale and use, not many more would stand to gain more than the major players within the Big Tobacco industry.
From health problems like emphysema and heart disease, to the fact that smoking has been banned in most public places like bars and restaurants, it’s not surprising that smoking isn’t as popular as it once was among Americans.
Not only does the cannabis market provide tobacco companies with the golden opportunity to expand their market, but it does so without having to make any major adjustments.
Among the requirements for getting started with marijuana cultivation and production are a warm climate and the tools necessary for proper harvesting.
Along with having the resources necessary for production and distribution, big tobacco companies are also used to navigating the processes that many cannabis retailers face upon their entrance onto the marketplace.
Those are many of the same challenges tobacco companies have faced at one point or another during their infancy stages.
There’s no doubt that Big Tobacco will have a seat at the table when it comes to the recreational cannabis market.
