Data Projects That Adult-use Sales are Expected to Rocket Post 2018

NEW YORK, June 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

According to a report published by research firm Cowen & Co., the U.S. legal cannabis industry is anticipated to reach USD 75 Billion in sales by 2030. The research clarifies that the increasing consumer backing of legal cannabis, and its wider access, is driving meaningful change at the state level. Additionally, Cowen anticipates more ballot initiatives to legalize cannabis for adult-use in both Michigan and Illinois in the upcoming midterm elections. The research exemplifies that expanded access in Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey might inspire other states in the Northeast to pursue legalization. Beyond the U.S, Canada has legalized Cannabis on a national basis earlier last week. Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG), PotNetwork Holdings Inc. (OTC: POTN), Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. (OTC: ATTBF), Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. (OTC: GLDFF), THC BioMed Intl Ltd. (OTC: THCBF)

The recent progress, from both the political and technological grounds, has helped push the market in new directions. Editor-in-Chief at Arcview Market Research and Principal Analyst at BDS Analytics, Tom Adams, explained: "Our data shows positive indicators across the board for the legal cannabis industry, in North America and around the globe. The passage of the 2016 ballot initiatives and continued maturation of the existing Adult-Use markets are the primary drivers of the growth this year. That's nothing compared to what we can expect in 2018 and beyond from Nevada's tourism, and California and Canada planning to launch Adult-Use sales in 2018."

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) announced yesterday that, "the company is working on growing industrial hemp as part of Vermont's industrial hemp program. The Company is looking at multiple properties to begin growing and anticipates its first harvest will be in 2019.

'While we are fully committed to our solution to the banking and financial transaction problems in the state-sanctioned marijuana industry, we are pleased thus far with our diversification into CBD extraction,' said Jeremy Roberts, CEO of Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions. 'With the recent approval of a CBD based medicine by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Drug Enforcement Agency's recent clarification, we believe this emerging market is an important focus for our company.'

Under Vermont's law, applications must register annually with the state's Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets and pay an annual fee. Growers must also comply with various farming statutes, including the Required Agricultural Practices rules.

'This is an exciting step for our company. We've been contacted by many shareholders who want to see us expand our footprint and this decision is in direct response to those petitions,' said Roberts."

Additionally, PotNetwork recently announced its plan to prepare a Form 10 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to become a fully reporting SEC company. This action is fundamental to the Company's efforts to demonstrate heightened transparency to its investors and bring the Company greater visibility and credibility before a substantially larger group of qualified investors.

Abattis and BLOCKStrain also intend to explore development and integration opportunities to expand on Abattis's current life sciences and biotechnology services offerings. BLOCKStrain not only reduces the workload and costs involved with testing but also provides full visibility of testing results for producers, government regulators and consumers.
