I think your estimate is way too low. The alcoholic beverage market in the U.S. has sales of something like $190 billion annually [1]. I think with legal marijuana a lot of people who would otherwise not be willing to use it will definitely be willing to. To a large extent recreational marijuana use and recreational drinking overlap. I would definitely consider the alcohol market to be a good indicator of potential market size for marijuana. I don't think marijuana will get up to $190 billion or anything, and especially not in the short term. I do however think that its worth quite a bit more than $25 billion. And that's just recreational marijuana. There is an entire separate market for medical applications that might be quite a lot as well. ----------- 1. http://www.parkstreet.com/industry/alcoholic-beverage-market-overview/ http://www.parkstreet.com/industry/alcoholic-beverage-market...
