According to United Nations data, 158.8 million people in the world use cannabis, accounting for more than 3.8% of the world's population. This shows the prevalence of cannabis over the years. Legalizing marijuana has many benefits, including eliminating the black market, improving quality and safety controls, providing medical marijuana, and increasing taxes. People began to look at cannabis in a more positive light, and this shift allowed the industry to expand significantly. There are many different types of cannabis consumers, including family members, production users, athletes, and people with health problems. Some recent trends in the cannabis retail market will be discussed below.

Over the years, the way people consume cannabis has continued to evolve, and the technology surrounding cannabis consumption has also continued to evolve. There are many different ways to smoke marijuana, including:

When it comes to different consumption methods, there are many options available, which are helpful to consumers because you can choose the method that suits you best. If you want to be more cautious, hand smoke is a good choice, and if you want to smoke in a group of people, then a hookah is more suitable. It also helps companies, because different consumption patterns mean the need for different consumption tools. For example, the e-cigarette industry has boomed in the past few years. There are websites that can actually guide you in using each tool by giving you all the advice and information you need, and Smoke Cartel is a retailer with the world's largest catalog of smoking products on the market. By working in this industry for a long time, it has all the experience to provide you with the best service according to your needs.

In recent years, medical marijuana has become legal in Alaska, Arizona, California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and other places, followed by marijuana. The legalization of marijuana has brought a lot of money, which is a positive thing that benefits consumers. Legalization of marijuana also means more taxes. In 2019, Colorado alone collected more than $302 million in taxes from medical and recreational cannabis. This money can be used to fund and further develop the medical and therapeutic value of cannabis as a drug substitute, and new innovations will bring new customer experiences. The money can also be used to assist economic recovery.

The legalization of marijuana has also brought better safety standards and more market competition. This is good for everyone, because increased competition will lead to higher quality of cannabis, which will improve the customer experience. Legalization also eliminates the black market and ensures that the marijuana distributed is of good quality and can be consumed, because large quantities of marijuana sold illegally are laced and of very low quality. 

With the legalization of marijuana, marijuana tourism has also developed. Marijuana tourism is the time to travel to a destination and experience cannabis in a fun and exciting environment. For example, in California, they offer "wine and weed" tours, where party buses allow visitors to taste different cannabis products. Marijuana tours are good for the economy because they promote economic growth and new business opportunities for people. This is also a fun and different way to spend time and money. The industry is growing and the reason it is so popular is the demand for it. In Colorado, the cannabis tourism industry has grown by 51% since 2014, attracting 6.5 million visitors in 2016 alone, and this number is expected to increase. Some places that offer cannabis tourism include Colorado, California, and Nevada.
