In recent years, cannabis legalization has seen a big push. Currently, the&nbsp;<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/3789873-where-will-marijuana-be-legal-in-2023/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cannabis-and-franchising-perfect-together-2721095" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">majority of U.S. states</a> have passed legalization legislation. Though there are stipulations, including medical-only use, recreational and medical use, and CBD or low-THC-only substances, recognition of the plant and its varied uses is becoming more widespread.Legalization, in turn, allows for legitimate business opportunities. For many, the franchise model provides an attractive pathway to break into the still-developing industry, as the franchisor can provide guidance through necessary licensing or other credentialing processes. In a heavily-regulated market like this one, having a professional to back you, the small business owner, up is priceless.&nbsp;It should be noted that many financial institutions remain skeptical of cannabis business models, meaning that it can be difficult to secure funding for an initial investment. However, there are organizations working to combat this hurdle, and the market offers an incredible opportunity once broken into.According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.vettedbiz.com/top-cannabis-cbd-franchises/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cannabis-and-franchising-perfect-together-2721095" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">VettedBiz</a>, cannabis sales in 2021 were approximately $26 billion, and the market is projected to surpass $40 billion by 2026.Here are a few cannabis franchise concepts and what they have to offer.<a href="https://franchise.fardotter.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cannabis-and-franchising-perfect-together-2721095" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Far &amp; Dotter</a>Far &amp; Dotter is an inclusive dispensary concept backed by&nbsp;<a href="https://curiowellness.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cannabis-and-franchising-perfect-together-2721095" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Curio Wellness</a>. According to its website, this concept “help[s] people declutter, decipher, and demystify a changing cannabis landscape.”In August, the concept&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/far-dotter-announces-first-franchisees-furthers-mission-of-creating-a-more-equitable-inclusive-cannabis-industry-2719298#stories">announced</a> the signing of its first two franchisees, both of which were recipients of a Curio Wellness-associated program,&nbsp;<a href="https://curiowellness.com/press_release/curio-wellness-launches-investment-fund-to-combat-diversity-and-inclusion-challenges-within-cannabis-industry/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cannabis-and-franchising-perfect-together-2721095" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Fund</a>. The Fund “will provide start-up capital for minority business owners to open their own Curio Wellness franchise location,” an incredible support offering as traditional banks tend to turn away cannabis entrepreneurs.<a href="https://eufloriameds.com/own-your-eufloria/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cannabis-and-franchising-perfect-together-2721095" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Eufloria</a>Eufloria offers the best of both worlds — cannabis dispensary and retail CBD franchise opportunities.
