Emerging Global Hemp Industry Advances as Revenues Projections Continue to Climb

PALM BEACH, Florida, November 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The emerging hemp market continues to be one of the more significant facets of the marijuana industry, as industrial hemp gains a foothold on agriculture across the globe and educational programs help the public see the value in the various options hemp can provide. As operations, acquisitions, expansions and educational enlightenment advances and progress through legislation is made, experts believe the US is nearing the federal government finally removing hemp from its controlled substances list after being misaligned with marijuana for nearly a century. With this in mind, revenue forecasts are optimistic in the hemp market for the coming years. Notable companies in the headlines include: Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC: MJNA), Puration Inc. (OTC: PURA), GreenGro Technologies Inc. (OTC: GRNH), Agritek Holdings Inc. (OTC: AGTK).

The Hemp Money Event: Economics, Lessons & Planning for 2018 is Hemp University's last event of 2017 and it's the fifth of seven certification classes. Attendees will receive 6-credits for attending this educational event. Rick Rainbolt, President of Hemp University, LLC, said, "Our goal at Hemp University, Inc. is to help individuals who are completely committed to achieving the very highest standards in this emerging and profitable industry become successful.  With just 3 days left until the event, our team has worked endlessly to bring our attendees the best possible speakers, trainers and coaches. I feel this last event of the year (The Hemp Money Event: Economics, Lessons & Planning for 2018) has the strongest line-up of speakers and will be our biggest and best event of 2017 yet. Our line-up faculty of Mastery POD growers and farmers will be sharing not only their growing strategies, but also their vital mistakes, which are crucial for those individuals looking to get involved in growing industrial hemp."

According to Rainbolt, this particular educational event is designed to give attendees the "final piece" of the "Industrial Hemp Formula" to success. As noted under the coursework description, "The economics effects all phases of your business and is one of the main drivers of why we are involved. In addition, learning from our 2017 growers can save you thousands or maybe even save your business. Finally, with this new information, you can more accurately plan for the 2018 growing season."

With over 125 tickets sold and only 75 tickets left, there is limited seating. Tickets are rapidly selling out. Attendees are urged to purchase their tickets now to ensure access to the symposium because the first four Hemp University symposiums have been sold-out events. "We've actually had to turn people away.  That's why we're saying 'first come, first serve' so to speak. The educational symposiums have been chock-full of important information, thus drawing many farmers, entrepreneurs and investors wanting to attend. Our company can also help attendees purchase hemp seeds, hemp clones, hemp mother plants, fertilizers, advance soil amendments such as Soil Balance, greenhouses, grow lights, bailers and, very soon, CBD extractors with a 'no money up front revenue share model'," says Perlowin.

In the industry developments and happenings in the market this week include:      

Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC: MJNA) recently announced that subsidiary HempMeds® was a Gold Sponsor of EXPO MEDE Weed, the second International Fair of Medical Cannabis, which took place in Medellín, Colombia on November 24-27, 2017. This conference is organized annually to discuss the legality of medical cannabis globally. Currently in Colombia, non-psychotropic Cannabis (Hemp) is legal to grow if it contains less than 1% THC. At the conference, executives from the Medical Marijuana, Inc. portfolio of companies spoke to hundreds of patients and doctors at the event about CBD and shared stories of previous international successes in Mexico, Braziland Paraguay. Speakers included Dr. Stuart Titus, CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc., and Raul Elizalde, President of HempMeds® Mexico.

Puration Inc. (OTC: PURA) announced this month 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."
