July is National Hemp Month. July celebrates the roaring comeback of one of the world's most valuable and versatile plants – hemp. This month's list includes books, e-audiobooks, e-books, and databases to start a cannabis business, invest in cannabis, learn about cannabis careers, and learn the benefits and use of medical marijuana. Onsite databases such as IBISWorld & First Research include medical and recreational marijuana market reports. Offsite databases such as Emerging Markets - Internet Securities (EMIS) & Statista, which you can access remotely with your NYPL card and PIN to conduct industry and consumer statistical research on the cannabis market. Other offsite databases, such as the Gale Directory Online database, allow you to create a list of hemp associations. The Gale Virtual Reference Library will enable you to view and download a sample business plan of a Medical Marijuana Clinic.
