This was a huge week for the marijuana industry: Canada became the second country in the world to legalize cannabis for recreational uses.

&ldquo;October 17 was set as the first day for recreational sales. Some people in the industry wanted an earlier date, but at least companies can now make plans for a specific date,&rdquo; Debra Borchardt, CEO of Green Market Report told Benzinga.

Other experts&nbsp;<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/government/18/06/11911059/canada-legalizes-recreational-marijuana-nationwide-beginning-oct-17-expert">highlighted the impact of Canada&rsquo;s move on the international realm</a>. Jeff Siegel, managing editor of Green Chip Stocks, singled out a few stocks he believes &ldquo;are going to continue to see a flood of capital coming in&hellip;. much of which was previously flooding into Canada.&rdquo;

&ldquo;The other big news was that Tilray filed for an IPO on the NASDAQ,&rdquo; Borchardt said. &ldquo;The company reported solid financial numbers, and that will make this a sought-after offering among cannabis investors. Tilray will be a &lsquo;controlled company&rsquo; since Privateer Holdings will have the majority voting power.&quot;

In addition, High Times&nbsp;announced its crowdfunding campaign and RegA+ IPO. Investors are now able to purchase shares of the 44-year-old media and entertainment company before its planned Nasdaq stock market listing later this year. This comes after the company announced that it is adding former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox Quesada, to its board.

&ldquo;The company is only weeks away from publicly listing on the Nasdaq, just weeks after organizing America&#39;s first state-sanctioned recreational cannabis event in Sacramento,&rdquo; Fox told Benzinga. &ldquo;This is an enormous opportunity for the general populous to buy into the growing green rush, and they&#39;re just getting started.&rdquo;

<h3>Interesting Data</h3>

Last week, we shared a look into the 10 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/18/06/11889509/pot-stocks-etfs-top-news-and-data-from-the-cannabis-industry-t">largest Canadian public cannabis companies</a>. This week, it&rsquo;s the U.S.&rsquo; turn. As per New Frontier Data, the top 10 publicly traded U.S. cannabis companies are collectively valued at $8.2 billion. AG Tech is the leading vertical with Scotts Miracle-Gro boasting the largest valuation.

&ldquo;Four of the top 10 are pharmaceutical or biotech companies, reflecting rising investment in R&amp;D of cannabis-derived therapies,&rdquo; the firm noted. &ldquo;The U.S. market is significantly less than the $18.4 billion (CAD $23.9 billion) combined market cap of Canada&rsquo;s top 10 cannabis firms, as illustrated here last week.&quot;
