The US cannabis industry, which is currently valued at $32 billion, is expected to experience significant growth after recent ballot measures in four states, including Florida.

Despite competition from billionaire Ken Griffin, who has been outspent by cannabis advocates, the industry continues to thrive. However, concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of weed production due to its substantial carbon footprint.

As a result, there are calls for growers to adopt more sustainable practices to reduce emissions and minimize land and water usage. Additionally, retailers are being encouraged to reconsider their packaging strategies in order to improve environmental sustainability.
