Marijuana-industry research firm Whitney Economics said in a survey released last year that roughly 27% of cannabis businesses are profitable, down from 42% in 2022.

Last year, U.S. private-equity deals in the sector totaled $260 million, compared with $1.3 billion for all of 2018, deal tracker PitchBook said. Venture-capital deals were $410 million, compared with roughly $3.06 billion in 2019.
