Here's What One of California's Savviest Weed Insiders Told Me

Michael A. Robinson

Now that California – the world's sixth-largest economy – has a legal medical and recreational marijuana market up and running, it's the perfect time to get a finger on the pulse of that market.

It's been an exciting and profitable few weeks here…

The numbers so far are staggering – as I've been predicting they would be for months. As I mentioned earlier this month, in the days following the Jan. 1, 2018, "debut" of recreational adult use, the seven biggest pot stocks by market cap alone bulked up to the tune of $1.7 billion.

My paid-up Nova-X Report readers have seen some nice gains in our pot stock model portfolio, too.

The profits do give some idea of what's happening, but the truth is, California is such a lucrative marijuana market, and so important to the future of legal weed, that I wanted to know exactly what's been going on in the Golden State since it went "green" a few weeks ago.

I'm talking about a much more in-depth picture than you can get in the mainstream media, of course.

You won't get this anywhere else…

My Marijuana Man on the Inside

For a look at what's coming in this key state, I called one of my best contacts in the legal marijuana arena: Chris Walsh – editorial vice president at Marijuana Business Daily.

This industry newsletter not only puts out a great publication, but it also organizes some of the best conferences in the business.

I'm talking about MJBizCon, which is held in a few locations each year. I attended one last year and brought back a tremendous amount of valuable (profitable) information that I've shared with you folks over the past few months.

Walsh was the founding editor of MBD way back in 2011, when hardly anyone was talking about legalized recreational marijuana. In other words, he's basically seen it all. So I wanted to get him on the record about what he saw on Jan. 1 – the day cannabis went fully legal in California – and in the days since then.

After all, North American legal marijuana sales totaled $6.7 billion in 2016. California – with its nearly 40 million residents – could rake in $20 billion per year in cannabis sales on its own within a few years. And by year's end, legal marijuana sales across the country could more than triple.

Here's why that's great news.
