The historical social negativity took a long time to overcome, but now, it has freed the markets to grow by the billions! Consumer demand has spawned revenue streams that continue to grow at a faster pace.

One report, from Market Research Future projected that the market for medical marijuana market is anticipated to acquire the market value of USD 54,677 million while thriving at a CAGR of 34% by 2023, while another report from Market Data Forecast increased the projection saying that the size of the global medical cannabis market size which was projected at USD 13.4 Billion in 2020, is forecasted to worth USD 44.4 Billion by 2025, with a CAGR of 22.9%.

Another report from, Grand View Research, said that an increasing number of medical practitioners prescribing legal marijuana for various health issues is driving product demand, which in turn, is contributing to market growth, and that a rise in the prevalence of chronic pain and increasing demand for pain management therapies among cancer patients across the region is expected to drive the demand for legal marijuana over the forecast period. The report continued: "The rise in the number of patients suffering from mental conditions is expected to drive the demand for legal marijuana over the forecast period… Rise in awareness regarding the health benefits of these products, increasing the legalization of medical cannabis, growing consumption, and expansion of the product portfolio is estimated to boost the market growth in the region during the forecast period."

THC Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCPK: THCT) Breaking News: THC Therapeutics Has Begun the Process of Acquiring A Significant Amount of Physical Silver Bullion - THCT a forward-thinking, publicly-traded technology company, whose mission statement is, "Better Health through the Science of Nature," is pleased to announce this week that the company has acquired significant amounts of physical silver at a very low premium above spot price.

THCT has leveraged the longstanding relationships developed by the company's Founder & Chairman's 15 years of experience in the precious metals marketplace to acquire silver at a very low premium above spot with the intention to continue increasing the company's holdings.

The precious metals market is under considerable manipulation via reckless selling of paper silver contracts, also known as naked short selling, which exceeds the physical availability of real silver by a multiple of at least 100 to 1. This massive disparity is caused by major banks worldwide selling paper silver without the backing of physical silver to suppress the market price. A way to put pressure on the corrupt banks is to buy physical silver. We foresee a day coming soon where the paper price will no longer be manipulated. The silver market will shift to the actual trading of physical silver instead of being inherited from synthetic paper trading prone to manipulation.

Due to the disparity between the paper market and the physical market, there is now a considerable shortage of physical silver. The current market conditions present THC Therapeutics with a great opportunity to take advantage of the price of physical and paper silver rising significantly in the near term. Our Founder & Chairman, Brandon Romanek, has over 15 years of experience as a trader and broker/dealer in the precious metals market.

Brandon Romanek states, "A major benefit of my relationships in the precious metals market is that THCT is able to acquire physical gold and silver at the lowest possible premiums above spot, and with the fastest delivery times. To currently get physical silver in your hands, the premium can be as high as 50% for retail investors. We're able to acquire silver at much lower premium levels. Current lead time on many silver bullion products is up to eight weeks. This acquisition is part of an ongoing plan to increase the company's precious metals, and digital currency holdings. For thousands of years one has been able to use gold and silver in exchange for goods and services throughout the world. Unlike fiat currencies, you can't print physical gold or silver, precious metals are a storage of wealth."

THC Therapeutics, Inc. is focused on developing their patented dHydronator®, a sanitizing herb dryer. The main function of the dHydronator® is to greatly accelerate the drying time of cannabis while sanitizing it. The dHydronator® can be used to dry a variety of herbs; it has been specifically tested for use with cannabis, and it can reduce the drying time for cannabis from 10-14 days to less than 14 hours. The Company may also focus some of its future operations on participation in cannabis-testing lab facilities and developing personal wellness centers. The Company is seeking partnerships in the Cannabis & Health/Wellness industries in the United States & Canada. Learn more about THCT at: https://thct.io/
