It’s Here: Virtual Assistants for the CANNABIS Industry
Here are the trends: The legal cannabis industry is reported at 78% growth, year by year.

- Medical & recreational marijuana has inelastic demand (the business is recession-proof)
- Weed delivery is in high demand, seeing a 65% percent spike in March 2020 alone.
