Los Angele­s is consid­ered the world's larges­t pot market­LOS ANGELES: When California legalised recreational marijuana use in 2016, Gene Grozovskiy decided he would show tourists the big change behind the scenes.

Rivals, such as Green Line Trips, Weedology, Dope Tours and Food High, cropped up over the first few months after recreational pot use was legalised.

Arcview, a firm specialising in the cannabis market, reported a drop in the state’s sales between 2017 and 2018, from $3 billion to $2.5 billion.
