The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Legal Cannabis Market Report by Source (Marijuana, Hemp), Derivatives (Cannabidiol (CBD), Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)), Distribution Channel (Recreational Stores, Pharmacies, Online Stores, and Others), End User (Medical Use, Recreational Use, Industrial Use), and Region 2024-2032,” finds that the global legal cannabis market size reached US$ 26.5 Billion in 2023. Legal cannabis is a drug obtained from Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis plants. It has psychoactive properties that help relieve chronic pain, regulate and prevent diabetes, alleviate anxiety, and treat depression and inflammatory bowel diseases among individuals. It is also used in the treatment of cancer, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, glaucoma, epilepsy, migraines, Alzheimer’s, Tourette’s, Parkinson, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Owing to these properties, legal cannabis finds extensive applications across the pharmaceutical industry across the globe.


Global Legal Cannabis Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the increasing number of countries legalizing and decriminalizing cannabis. In addition, oral cannabinoids are effective antiemetics for adults suffering from chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. They are also used to treat spasticity symptoms in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS)-related spasticity. This, coupled with the expanding pharmaceutical industry worldwide, is positively influencing market growth. Besides this, the market is also propelled by the rising approvals legalizing the use of medications containing cannabidiol (CBD) to treat rare epilepsy like Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndrome, which are difficult to control with other types of medication. Moreover, the increasing awareness among individuals regarding the medical benefits of legal cannabis and the rising number of research and clinical trials around the world are also creating a positive market outlook. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach US$ 144.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 20.3% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
