Iran war impacts US marijuana industry

The Huffington Post reports that the ongoing war with Iran is having a direct economic impact on the United States' legal marijuana industry. Rising global energy prices and transportation disruptions caused by the conflict have significantly increased production and distribution costs for cannabis businesses. Simultaneously, investment in the sector, already hampered by legal and regulatory uncertainty, is now facing heightened geopolitical risks that are making it harder for companies to secure funding and grow. This illustrates how the conflict's economic shockwaves are reaching unexpected domestic industries.
