The Marijuana Business Factbook 2016 also provides a detailed profile for each medical and recreational cannabis state (as well as Canada), covering everything from legal info and patient/consumer stats to sales potential and exclusive analysis of the business opportunities and concerns for each region.

Financials

The Factbook includes cannabis industry-wide financial stats and forecasts, as well as specific numbers on costs, time-to-profit, revenues and profitability for five key industry sectors:

• Dispensaries and retailers: including data on dispensaries with associated grows vs dispensaries that buy all their product wholesale; plus, new consumer market research.
• Professional cultivation operations: including data on caregiver growers vs. larger wholesale growers
• Edibles & infused product makers
• Testing labs
• Ancillary businesses: including products and services sold to growers and retailers.

State-by-State Profiles

Unlike most industries in the U.S., the cannabis business varies significantly by state, county and even city. Each market has distinct and often widely varying laws and regulations that define the operational environment and associated business opportunities (or lack thereof).

Our state-by-state profiles tell you what you need to know – including state laws, number of dispensaries/retailers, customer stats, estimated sales potential and what to watch for.

Plus, you’ll also get our exclusive Business Stability and Business Opportunity ratings for each state allowing marijuana enterprises, to help you pick where to startup or expand to.

Market Research:

Incredibly useful for retailers and dispensaries, growers, edibles and infused product makers and paraphernalia suppliers, the Marijuana Business Factbook 2016 includes exclusive market research data for 2016 – based on an annual consumer survey that includes the responses of nearly 1,000 business owners, executives, entrepreneurs and investors.

Their input helped give us a window into operational data for six key sectors of the industry: retail, cultivation, infused products, testing, ancillary technology/products and ancillary services. Additionally, survey responses serve as the backbone of an entire chapter on funding and investing.
