Tech-Driven Disruptions Expected in the Marijuana Industry

With the legalization and decriminalization of the consumption and possession of marijuana in Canada and the United States, the cannabis industry has become a prime target for the growth, disruption, and innovation of tech-based advancements. Although this socioeconomic revolution may have been unexpected, it cannot be overstated, as numerous sectors within the industry are currently experiencing major disruption as a direct result of the intersection of legal cannabis and tech services and products.

The applications for these tech advancements is staggering, as cannabis operators are not only catching up with and adopting cutting-edge technologies, but they are also inventing their own for the industrial, agricultural and supply chain management sectors. Now, while major disruptions in these areas, such as intelligent lighting, product testing technologies, and industrial hemp processing, are pulling major attention, there are smaller tech-driven disruptions expected to hit the market soon. This will include things like social networks, new financial tech support, and even self-serving vending machines and it is without a doubt that these new technologies will continue to be refined, re-imagined, and re-introduced over the coming years as more companies and brands get in on tech and cannabis.
