Backed by Big Beer and Big Pharma, a secretive Canadian marijuana company unexpectedly became America’s gateway to the legal weed industry.

Marijuana laws in the United States are changing almost daily. Right now, recreational marijuana is legal in eight states and the District of Columbia, and medical marijuana is legal in more than 30 states.
