/EINPresswire.com/ -- The U.S. legal cannabis industry is among the fastest growing industries in the U.S. projecting better than $22 billion in revenue by 2020 by various analysts and publications. California, in particular, has been progressive in the development of its medical marijuana regulations and there is a very optimistic outlook for growth of the industry in the state. Approval of the sale of marijuana for recreational use in California is scheduled to be on the ballot in this year's November voting with a widespread expectation of acceptance.
