Google Says the Marijuana Black Market Could Explode by over 450% in a Coronavirus Recession

Will millions of people who were laid off or lost jobs start growing and selling weed?  You bet.  Will some percentage of those people decide to put an order in the mail and ship it? Yes.  That is just the law of numbers.  The big pivot point or takeaway will be the percent of new illicit growers who decide to sell outside their local circle and put it in the mail.  That is an unknown right now through Google Trends and will only be determined by how much pain is felt by these individuals during the recession or pull back due to the coronavirus.
