Cannabis sales soar as the trend for legalisation grows but is it a risky business?
It鈥檚 being called the fastest-growing industry in the United States. Sales of cannabis are at a new high, as lockdown boosts consumption and more states move to legalise. President Biden has also promised to decriminalise cannabis on a federal level too. Further south, lawmakers in Mexico are close to legalising marijuana, which would create one of the world's biggest legitimate markets worth billions of dollars. Companies are lining up to take advantage, despite fears about the health risks. Mike Johnson talks to Amanda Jones of Kikoko, Boris Jordan of Curaleaf and psychiatrist Dr Marta di Forti of King's College London.
