Cannabis - commonly referred to as pot, weed, reefer, and ganja - is increasingly becoming legal, not just in the United States, but around the world. Recreational cannabis is already legal in Uruguay and Canada, and in the U.S., more than 25 states have legalized cannabis in the form of recreational, medicinal, hemp, and/or CBD.

Given that cannabis legalization would not only be profitable in itself but has the potential to disrupt other established industries, it comes as no surprise there's been a rush in recent years for investors to get into the cannabis industry on the ground floor.

Grove Group Management CEO and Co-Founder of Kevin Shin joins the Talk Wealth To Me #podcast for a conversation on what it takes to invest in cannabis, what kind of changes we'll see in the cannabis industry when U.S. legalization occurs, and more!
