New Frontier Data projects increased domestic and international expansion of new legal cannabis markets and $106 billion in tax revenue over an eight-year period in the U.S.

Life Changing Cannabis
For Sammie Pyle, cannabis has been a life-changing medicine, and she wants everyone to know about it. A registered nurse with a background in critical care and travel nursing, Sammie became a frontline healthcare worker in 2020, working in COVID ICUs across the country. As a result of that work, she was diagnosed with PTSD, survivor’s guilt, and insomnia. “The doctor wanted to give me a lot of prescriptions, but I already felt numb,” she says. “I needed something to bring me back to myself.
