LOS ANGELES (AP) — Colorado-based research firm BDSA projects legal marijuana sales in the U.S. will jump 8% this year to $27 billion.

BDSA CEO Roy Bingham spoke to The Associated Press about the cannabis industry trends that shaped the firm’s forecast. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
