Cannabis resin Cannabis Herb

Market landscapeIntroduction• Legal marijuana has started gaining traction worldwide due to

very high demand among consumers and increasinglegalization of recreational or medical marijuana in variouscountries.

• Additionally, high public and private investment for researchand the development of safer forms of ingesting marijuanasuch as tinctures, oils, vapes and other edibles are expectedto positively reinforce market growth.

• The number of conditions treated using medical marijuana isgrowing rapidly, as new patients are added to the market, thedemand for medical marijuana is expected to increasemultiple folds over the forecast period.

• As countries begin to liberalize laws related to marijuana, themarket is expected to witness a surge in demand. Currently,the majority of the cannabis is sold through illicit channels. Tocurb this illegal trade, governments have started legalizingmarijuana in order to monitor the products that enter thesupply chain and reap benefits through taxes levied on theseproducts.

• In 2003, the UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs andCrime) estimated that the global illegal cannabis market was$113 billion, with 183 million consumers, or more than 4% ofthe population between the ages of 15 and 64.

• Cannabis plant cultivation — either through direct indicators(cultivation or eradication of cannabis plants) or indirectindicators (seizures of cannabis plants, domestic cannabisproduction being indicated as the source of seizures, etc.) —was reported (1) on the territory of 135 countries in the period2010-2015, covering 92 per cent of the world population.

• Based on quantities intercepted, the trafficking of cannabisseems to have stabilized at a high level in the past decade(compared with the level in the late 1990s). Over the period2010-2015, quantities of herbal cannabis seized were morethan four times those of cannabis resin, with some 6,000 tonsof cannabis herb and 1,300 tons of cannabis resin interceptedannually. In 2015, the largest cannabis herb seizuresworldwide were reported by Mexico, followed by the UnitedStates, Nigeria, Paraguay and Egypt; the largest cannabisresin seizures were reported by Spain, Pakistan and Morocco,followed by Afghanistan and Algeria.

• The UNODC also states that Cannabis use has remainedquite stable at the global level in recent years, despiteindications that it continues to increase in Africa and AsiaEquivalent to an estimated 183 million annual users in 2015(range: 128-238 million), roughly 3.8 per cent of the globalpopulation (2.7-4.9 per cent) used cannabis in the past year.This proportion has not changed over the past decade and isonly slightly higher than the prevalence of cannabis useestimated for 1998 (3.4 per cent). Nonetheless, as the worldpopulation has grown, so has the number of cannabis users(by 28 per cent since 1998).

Market landscapeGlobal legal market sizeOur estimate

• The true potential of the legal Cannabis market is unknown.

• In the foreseeable future, recreational or medical cannabis is expected to be legalized in approx. 30 countries. For these countries,we estimated the number of potential users and the average monthly spending per user.

• The cannabis price significantly differs among various countries. Thus, the average monthly spending per user ranges from $5 inLesotho to $125 in the US and Canada.

• The penetration rate can go from 7.5% to 20%. Compared to other recreational substances, such as alcohol and cigarettes, this ratedoes not appear unrealistic.

• The global market of legal cannabis will be worth between $125 and $150 billion

Third Party estimates

• According to a report from Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, global spending on legal cannabis is expected to reach$57 billion by 2027, with adult-use sales driving the industry to the tune of $38.3 billion. Medical sales are estimated to comprise$19.1 billion. The report notes that Europe and its $1.5 trillion in healthcare spending, has the potential to be the largest medicalcannabis market on the planet. Overall, however, the European cannabis market is not expected to grow as stridently as its potentialsuggests.

• The in-depth analysis by European investment bank Bryan, Garnier & Co. projects that the “rapidly expanding industry” willpotentially grow by more than 1000% and reach $140 billion by 2027.

• The global legal cannabis industry will be worth $146.4 billion by the end of 2025, according to a recent report from Grand ViewResearch. That’s quite a jump from the $9.3 billion estimated value in 2016.

• To put the cannabis market into perspective, global sales of legal recreational and medical cannabis rivals global collective spendingon Netflix subscriptions.

• Relative to more traditional goods like cigarettes and beer, sales of cannabis on an annual basis are quite small. The marijuanaindustry, however, is on a very different growth trajectory than cigarettes and beer: legal sales of the former are expected to growexponentially while the latter markets will show a modest growth.

Map of countries with federally legal cannabis access regimes in 2018 (2)

Recreational Law Medical Law State/Province Conflict with Federal Law

Global Cannabis Legalization Momentum

• Cannabis legalization is gaining momentum around the world,driven primarily by the increasing recognition that cannabismay have a range of legitimate medicinal benefits andtherapeutic applications.

• More than 20 countries today have medical laws that facilitatepatient access to cannabis or concentrates for treatingspecified medical conditions. It is also expected that - likeUruguay and numerous U.S. states - other countries willultimately enact legislation permitting the production, sale anduse of recreational cannabis (Canada will do so in late 2018).

• The world maps on the right illustrate the select countries that(i) have enacted medical laws that facilitate patient access tocannabis or concentrates for treating specified medicalconditions, (ii) have enacted recreational laws that permit thecommercial production and sale of cannabis to adults forrecreational and other uses, or (iii) have a state or provincethat has a cannabis law or policy in conflict with federal law.

United Nations Conventions

• The bedrock for the global prohibition against recreationalmarijuana is the United Nations Single Convention onNarcotic Drugs, which was signed in 1961, entered into forcein 1964, and was amended in 1972.

• It classified marijuana as a Schedule I substance, similar toheroin and cocaine. Convention adherents agreed to make itscultivation, sale and purchase for anything other than strictlyregulated medical or scientific use a punishable offense.

• The United Nations has always been in support of the use ofscheduled drugs for scientific and medicinal purposes,however they maintain that not only is cannabis an addictivedrug, but also a gateway drug. Member countries arecurrently reforming their drug policy in regards to cannabisresulting in the United Nations being forced to reassess theircurrent stance on drug reforms.

Europe

• The European Union provides no coordinated legal frameworkfor cannabis and, historically, European countries generallyhave prohibited its production and sale, but have alsodecriminalized or tolerated possession of small amounts.

• In some European countries, personal use exceptions tocriminal prosecution have been used to carve out visibledistribution models. In the Netherlands, for example,Amsterdam is famous for its coffee-shop cannabis sales, eventhough the suppliers of cannabis to those coffee shopsgenerally operate illegally. And in Spain, despite a federalprohibition on the sale of cannabis, court decisions and lawspermitting cultivation for personal consumption have served tojustify the country’s hundreds of private cannabis clubs.

• To date, no European country has implemented a recreationallaw comparable to those in Uruguay and some U.S. statesand expected in Canada. However, starting with theNetherlands in 2003, a number of European countries haveenacted medical laws that facilitate patient access tocannabis or concentrates, through importation or domesticproduction, for treating specified medical conditions.

Latin America and the Caribbean

• During the past five years, Latin American and Caribbeannations (and Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory) have takensignificant legal measures that increase access to cannabisfor medical purposes, permit recreational cannabis use andrelax criminal prohibitions.

• In 2013, Uruguay became the first nation in the world tolegalize and regulate the commercial production and sale ofcannabis to adults for recreational and other uses.

• Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Peru enactedregulations permitting the use of cannabis oil and otherderivatives either by qualifying patients or for scientific andmedical research

Middle East, Asia and Africa

• Throughout the Middle East, Asia and Africa, cannabiscultivation, sale and possession generally remain prohibitedand punishable as criminal offenses. Only a few countriesfrom these regions have enacted laws that decriminalizepossession of small amounts of cannabis for personal use orfacilitate patient access to cannabis or concentrates fortreating specified medical conditions.

• In 2017, particular sections of South Africa’s Drugs and DrugTrafficking Act, which prohibit cultivation, possession andpersonal use of cannabis on private property, were declaredunconstitutional.

• During the same year, Lesotho (an enclave surroundedentirely by South Africa) granted a license to a pharmaceuticalcompany to grow, process and sell cannabis for medicinal useor scientific purposes.

• In Israel, the country’s Dangerous Drug Ordinance generallycriminalizes the manufacture, possession and use ofcannabis. However, medical cannabis in smokable and otherforms has been legal since the 1990s for patients with arange of serious medical conditions.

• In India, Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act in1985 banned the production and sale of cannabis resin andflowers, but permitted the use of the leaves and seeds,allowing the states to regulate the latter. Cultivation ofcannabis for industrial purposes such as making industrialhemp or for horticultural use is legal in India. In 2015, the firstorganised efforts to re-legalise cannabis in India appeared.

Progression of U.S. State Cannabis LawsUSA

• Marijuana and THC are Schedule I controlledsubstances under the CSA, meaning that themanufacture, distribution, dispensing andpossession of cannabis in the United States afederal crime.

• Nevertheless, 29 U.S. states and the District ofColumbia have enacted medical cannabis laws thatpermit the production and possession of cannabis orconcentrates for use in treating a broad range ofqualifying medical conditions.

• 8 states have enacted recreational laws that permitthe commercial production and sale of cannabis toadults for recreational and other uses.

• 19 U.S. states (including 2 with medical cannabislaws) have passed narrow CBD/limited laws thatpermit possession of small amounts of low-THC/high-CBD cannabis concentrates for use intreating a few serious medical conditions.

Canada

• The Marihuana Medical Access Regulations(MMAR), issued in 2001, regulated the access tomedical cannabis, but was eventually replaced in2016 by the Access to Cannabis for MedicalPurposes Regulations (ACMPR), which permitsbusinesses licensed by Health Canada tocommercially produce and distribute cannabisflower, cannabis oil and cannabis starter materials,such as plants and seeds, to individuals with amedical recommendation from an authorized healthcare practitioner.

• The legislation to legalize cannabis for recreationaluse (Cannabis Act, Bill C-45) was passed by theHouse of Commons of Canada in late November2017; it passed second reading in the Senate ofCanada on 22 March 2018.

• On 18 June 2018, the House passed the bill withmost, but not all, of the Senate's amendments. TheSenate accepted this version of the Act thefollowing day. Prime Minister Justin Trudeauannounced the next day that recreational use ofcannabis would no longer violate the Criminal Codeas of 17 October 2018.
