Background
Although still illegal at the federal level, more and more states are legalizing the recreational use of Marijuana. There are 15 states that have legalized recreational use (included seven in the most recent election), 15 states that have decriminalized its use (you'll get a misdemeanor), and 26 states that allow some level of home or commercial growing of Cannabis. There is only one state that still considers recreational Marijuana.
The democratic controlled house recent voted to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level, leaving it up to states to set and enforce laws regarding its use. Although the bill still faces challenges to pass thru the senate, it is expected that this action will happen within Biden's first term.

2) Product Manufacturing - create products using Marijuana or Hemp
3) Agricultural Tech - produce and sell equipment and technology to help grow cannabis
4) Real Estate - Financial companies that lease land to cannabis growers
5) Consumption Devices - produce tools and products for consuming Marijuana products
6) Tech and Media - online services, advertising, sales
