Industry estimates put the total sales of both recreational and medical marijuana products in the U.S. at approximately $10 billion in 2018 alone while CBD products generated gross sales of more than $238 million in the same year. Both industries are still growing, and CBD registered a 57 percent growth rate in 2018.
