Colorado is experiencing its second major economic boom, fueled by the growing demand for medical marijuana, which has turned the industry into a lucrative global phenomenon.

The state of Colorado is witnessing a second gold rush, dubbed the "green rush," which focuses on medical marijuana. A diverse group of individuals has been drawn to this emerging industry, and National Geographic explores this new cannabis culture by documenting the lives of residents whose experiences are transformed by the legal use of medical marijuana.
