NEW YORK, December 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
http://www.Financialbuzz.com - After the elections, a total of 28 states have accepted medical marijuana laws along with the District of Columbia, and legal recreational marijuana laws in eight states. The legal cannabis industry in the U.S. is projected to total $49.7 billion between 2016 and 2020, with revenues in 2020 alone anticipated at $15.2 billion, reported data analytics of the cannabis market New Frontier and Arcview Market Research. GrowGeneration Corporation (OTC: GRWG), Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYNE), Terra Tech Corporation (OTC: TRTC), General Cannabis Corporation (OTC: CANN), Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (OTC: MDCL).
The state of California was one of the four states where the recreational use of cannabis was voted in favor for and is also the largest market for the legal cannabis industry, making up of 12 percent of Americans. New Frontier and Arcview Market Research, has released the 2016 California Legal Cannabis Market State Profile, disclosing the potential growth of the legal cannabis market in California. It's projected that over the next five years, the market in California alone will grow at a compounded annual rate of 18.5%, from $2.76 billion in 2015 to $6.5 billion by 2020.
GrowGeneration Corporation (OTCQB: GRWG) one of the largest specialty retail hydroponic and organic gardening store chains, selling to both the commercial and home cannabis markets, with currently 10 locations in Colorado and 1 location in California, announced recently, "that it has signed a 5-year lease on a 10,000 square foot facility in Las Vegas, Nevada for its 12th store. The Las Vegas location will serve as retail and warehouse location, and will service the growing number of both commercial and home growers in the Nevada market.
Nevada presents significant growth opportunities for GrowGen in the legal cannabis market. The potential is attributed to the state's rank as a top tourism desti-nation, generous patient reciprocity laws, and the allowance for medical cannabis businesses to be formed as for-profit enterprises. Recreational use sales are expected to begin in 2017, and grow quickly. According to New Frontier, the combined medical and recreational use sales in Nevada are expected to reach nearly $622 million by 2020. A major key to the industry's growth will be the demand from the state's strong tourism market, with an estimated 55 million visitors in 2016 alone."
"Commenting on GrowGen's expansion into Nevada, Darren Lampert, Co-Founder and CEO, said, "The passage of Nevada's recreational use legalization measure opens up the market for cultivation expansion like we have not seen before in the US. With this additional 10,000 sq. ft. of retail and warehouse space, conveniently located minutes from the Las Vegas strip, we believe we are to be the largest hydroponic store in the Nevada market. To best serve Nevada growers, we'll stock both commercial and home-grow sizes of all the equipment and growing supplies offered throughout the market today."
"Executing and opening our GrowGen Nevada retail and warehouse operation furthers our business plan to aggressively expand our business. With the recent recreational legalization in Nevada, California, Massachusetts and Maine, and medical legalization in Florida, we consider those states as our key expansion markets. GrowGen is now operating at an annualized revenue run rate of over $9.0 million. We believe we're well positioned to continue to execute our expansion growth strategy, in order to offer a one-stop, personalized shopping solution for both the commercial and home grower alike."
