The California cannabis market accounts for 25% of all dispensaries in the United States, and nearly 100% of state citizens have access to a dispensary in their county.

States with legal cannabis sales that border illegal states often have &#8220;clusters&#8221; of dispensaries near the state lines, allowing people in illegal states to easily cross their borders and pick up cannabis. In fact, one in five dispensaries are located within 20 miles of a state border. This discrepancy highlights the hodgepodge of legality around the nation, demonstrating a clear need for federal reform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, Indiana, Kansas, and Texas all have restrictive marijuana laws but are bordered by multiple states that have legalized the drug for recreational or medical purposes,\u201d Researchers stated in their report. \u201cIn fact, a person residing in one of these three states can find more than 100 dispensaries within 20 miles of the state\u2019s borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The increasing amount of dispensaries in the United States points to an inevitable conclusion backed by research: Americans want access to cannabis.
