It cannot be denied that 2018 was an important year for the legal cannabis industry. In the past year, legal cannabis has opened up new opportunities in many ways. Several states in the US have legalized medical or recreational marijuana, and so has Canada. The first cannabis drugs have been approved by the FDA. Companies saw their stocks rise to incredibly large new highs (but in some cases also dropped catastrophically). The dynamics of the industry seemed to change every day, with rapid mergers and acquisitions (M&A), new company startups, and old companies becoming famous and successful.
