MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary
PALM BEACH, Florida, November 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Innovation is a driving force behind enormous growth in the Legal Cannabis markets across the U.S. and Canada as new CBD Infused products continue to gain in popularity for consuming cannabis while exploring alternative choices to smoking. Even alcohol giant, Constellation Brands is keeping tabs on the marijuana industry as reports indicates the company is looking to pay about $191 million for a stake in a well known, large Canadian seller of medicinal-marijuana products. Although the company recently said it has no plans to sell cannabis in the U.S. or other markets until it's legal "at all government levels but for now, it's more a matter of identifying markets with growth potential", said Chief Executive Officer Rob Sands. Cannabis companies in the markets this week with developments include: Puration, Inc. (OTC: PURA), GreenGro Technologies Inc. (OTC: GRNH), CV Sciences Inc. (OTC: CVSI), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (OTC: ACBFF) (TSX: ACB), Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTC: BLOZF).
Puration, Inc. (OTC: PURA) today announced the company plans to have a cannabis infused beverage ready to launch in Canada in conjunction with the nationwide legalization of recreational marijuana expected in Canada in July of 2018. Deloitte estimates the market for legal marijuana in Canada could reach $8 billion . The Canadian Spirits market is $5 billion. "I originally became a Puration shareholder when I purchased the Puration distribution rights for Canada," said Brian Shibley, CEO of Puration. "I am a Canadian citizen and with my experience and contacts in Canada, I became interested some time ago in distributing Puration products in Canada. One thing has led to another and Puration has evolved. My interest in Puration has since grown, and so I have become the CEO. With the pending nationwide legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada, combined with Puration's experience in cannabis extractions and making cannabis infused beverages, I am even more enthusiastic today about distributing Puration products in Canada then when I originally came to the company. I think Puration's success with EVERx CBD Infused Water is laudable, but I think the opportunity to introduce a THC infused beverage in Canada is a much bigger opportunity than EVERx."
