A report by Forbes explained the difference in approach to Cannabis market in the U.S and in Europe. "The main difference between the U.S. and European cannabis markets is that in the U.S., recreational use will dominate sales. With a budget of $1.3 trillion in health care spending, European government-subsidized health care systems will bring the medical cannabis market to dominate Europe and become the largest medical marijuana market in the world… The initial decision by many U.S. states and Canada to create medical-only cannabis regulations prompted many other countries to act similarly. But California's and Canada's willingness to legalize adult recreational use triggered a second wave of laws internationally to increase access to medical cannabis," according to Forbes.
