But with being America’s fastest growing industry, comes growing pains. Marijuana is still illegal on the federal level, which has led to conflicting state laws, restrictive regulations, and endless problems for cash-only marijuana business owners and operators.
VICE News meets the investors cashing in on the green rush and finds out how fractured marijuana laws are causing the American market to miss out.
In this extra scene, VICE News takes a tour of the grow operation at Medicine Man, one of Denver's most well-known marijuana cultivators and dispensaries.
