According to another report from Arcview Market Research, consumers in North America spent about $53 billion in the legal and illegal cannabis markets in 2016. "The enormous amount of existing, if illicit, consumer spending sets cannabis apart from most other major consumer-market investment opportunities throughout history," said Troy Dayton, CEO of Arcview. Unlike most other industries throughout history, "the cannabis industry doesn't need to create demand for a new product or innovation - it just needs to move demand for an already widely-popular product into legal channels."
Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) earlier today the company just announced that, "its majority owned subsidiary, MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. ("MTRAC" "MoneyTrac", the "Company") has executed a Sales and Marketing Management Agreement with High Grade Management Group, Inc. ("HGMG") to guide the development and implementation of a sales and marketing campaign to support the successful launch of HGMG's Apple Vapes products."
Aiming to revolutionize and capture a significant share of the multi-million-dollar vape market space, HGMG has introduced Apple Vapes. This new line of products delivers innovative and high-quality vape pens, chargers, and oils to consumers and retailers in one of the fastest growing market spaces. In addition to providing MTRAC with a direct source of revenue through the retainer they will receive for sales and marketing services, the agreement also serves as reinforcement of MTRAC's expanding business development service arm which is directed towards the growing number of businesses in the underserved cannabis industry.
MTRAC CEO, Vanessa Luna said: "This agreement is an excellent opportunity for MoneyTrac to play a strategic role in developing effective brand awareness for HGMG's Apple Vapes product line. The support and expertise that I anticipate our business development team will be able to lend to HGMG will undoubtedly provide them with the invaluable tools and resources necessary to take full advantage of a rapidly expanding marketplace."
Said HGMG CEO, Mark Glover: "As we look to capitalize on the multi-million-dollar vape industry, securing a partnership like this with MoneyTrac is absolutely vital in making sure we make a significant splash in this competitive market space as well as ensure that Apple Vapes is positioned to become a consistent revenue powerhouse by delivering the most innovative and top quality vape products to consumers and retailers in the industry."
Surna Inc. (OTCQB: SRNA) develops innovative technologies and products that monitor, control and or address the energy and resource intensive nature of indoor cannabis cultivation.

Recent and anticipated regulatory changes involving medicinal and/or recreational cannabis use in various jurisdictions, such as California, tends to be a leading indicator for the granting of licenses for new facility construction. As more new cultivation facilities become licensed, the company have an expanded set of opportunities and customers to whom they can potentially sell their systems.

Pursuant to this closed agreement, Easton's JV partner, Alliance Group (1124123 Ontario Limited) have been advised by its legal representation that it has cleared its last license exemption hurdles which clears a path for Alliance to grow, cultivate and distribute medical / recreational marijuana for the country of Canada. This has now resulted in Alliance Group bringing forward interim facility engineering plans with expectations of a completed greenhouse growing facility within 6 months which would be near the anticipated national launch date of recreational / medical marijuana for the country of Canada. Recreational marijuana has been made legal nationally in Canada and is expected to be launched in late spring of 2018 where many industry observers have estimated a huge shortage of marijuana product once launched.
Cannabis Science, Inc.
