With almost half the country having passed legislation that legalizes marijuana to one extent or another, the pot economy has bred a new wave of entrepreneurs looking to cash in on America's newest legal cash crop.
Last year alone, marijuana brought in about $2.7 billion to states that have legalized it, whether medicinally, recreationally or both. The projection for 2015 is $3.5 billion, according to Arcview Group, a cannabis investment fund that tracks industry numbers.
CNBC got an inside look into the new, innovative ways people are trying to profit from pot; with serious businessmen and women shifting their sights from the typical pot lounges and edibles companies to the truly mainstream: real estate, finance, technology, robotics and farming."
