As more states legalize the use of recreational marijuana, the number of opportunities for business owners is increasing as well.
One industry that is seeing a positive impact after the legalization of cannabis is the travel and tourism industry.
Reports show that in some states where weed is legal, tourism increased by nearly 50 percent.
