With the legalization of recreational marijuana and continuing growth in marijuana, a new gold rush is on both in Colorado and throughout the country. Many newcomers are entering the industry hoping to strike it rich. Investment dollars are flowing to finance these new ventures. The demand for legal marijuana products is growing exponentially. So what does this mean for Colorado and other states that have recently passed laws for recreational or medical marijuana?
