Cannabis Legalization is Leading to Increased Sales Expectations
FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary
NEW YORK, June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to data provided by research firm Cowen & Co., the U.S. legal cannabis industry is expected to reach USD 75 Billion in sales by 2030. The research explains that growing consumer support for legal cannabis, and increased access, is what is driving meaningful change at the state level. Additionally, Cowen expects to see ballot initiatives to legalize cannabis for adult-use in both Michigan and Illinois in the upcoming midterm elections. Furthermore, expanded access in Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey could prompt other states in the Northeast to make changes. Crop Infrastructure Corp. (OTC: CRXPF), Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (OTC: CBDS), iAnthus Capital Holdings Inc. (OTC: ITHUF), INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSY), Axim Biotechnologies, Inc. (OTC: AXIM)
According to a Bloomberg report, analyst Vivien Azer commented, "With the industries' diverging trajectories, weed may be poised to take the mantle as the larger industry. Cannabis is growing rapidly as more states legalize the plant. Nine states and Washington, D.C., now allow for recreational pot use. That means more than one in five American adults can smoke, vape, eat or drink it however they please. Cowen previously predicted that the market, assuming federal legalization, would reach $50 billion by 2026."
Crop Infrastructure Corp. (OTC: CRXPF) also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the Ticker (CSE: CROP).

Having unique and established brands that we will be able to license in Washington, California, other states and globally will be another benefit that Crop will be able to provide to its tenant growers."
