Legal Cannabis Sales are on the Rise
FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary
NEW YORK, November 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a report by Hexa Research, the U.S. medical cannabis market was valued at USD 5.44 billion in 2016, and is expected to be valued at USD 19.48 billion by 2024. The legal cannabis market is expected to be driven by numerous medical benefits of cannabis products, particularly in such fields like oncology, chronic pain and diabetes. Chronic pain was the largest segment owing to the presence of a large number of patients last year. One major obstacle of the legal cannabis market is to raise money. Scott Jordan who works with entrepreneurs in the industry as director of business development for Colorado-based Dynamic Alternative Finance, explained, "We're seeing some lenders that are looking for higher yields and returns, venturing into this space," he said according to the article. "In terms of equity, we also are seeing some of the larger hedge funds and other family offices," getting involved in cannabis finance, Forbes reported. Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE), Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTC: LXRP), Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. (OTCQB: ATTBF), MassRoots, Inc. (OTC: MSRT)
"Retail sales in the U.S. from 20 jurisdictions were $6.5 billion, but according to Greenwave Advisors, that number is projected to grow to $30 billion by 2021. In order to meet the demand for customers, the growers and makers of infused products have to scale up their operations. More automation, more square footage and the ability to manage this fast growth are separating the mom and pop shops from corporate cannabis," Forbes reported.
Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) on October 26th announced that, "its majority owned subsidiary, MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. ("MTRAC", the "Company") is currently in the process of ramping-up sales and marketing efforts within Los Angeles County for its newly acquired brand, PotSaver. PotSaver will be releasing its premier Los Angeles publication on January 1st 2017 to coincide with the legalization of recreational use of cannabis in the most populous state in the country, California.
In the last year, PotSaver, a revenue producing, community periodical and online advertising platform that provides listings on discounted cannabis-related products for local dispensaries and shops has established a significant presence within the San Diego County cannabis community behind the efforts of its founder, Aaron Adler. In having been acquired by MTRAC in September 2017, PotSaver has been afforded the foundational and financial support needed to engage in a full-fledged sales and marketing campaign to expand the brand's footprint into both the Orange and Los Angeles County markets.
In recent weeks, MTRAC management has been working diligently to form a powerhouse inside and outside sales and marketing team that will work in collaboration to facilitate the successful launch of PotSaver's publication in Los Angeles. Mr. Adler will supervise this team and expand PotSaver's reach by executing subscription agreements with many of the top dispensaries, service and product providers throughout this newly available market, one that is expected to grow exponentially at the turn of the New Year."
Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), recently announced that its subsidiary Kannaway, LLC, the first hemp lifestyle network to offer cannabidiol (CBD) hemp botanical products, has introduced Kannaway® Pure Gold, a full-spectrum hemp oil that provides all the benefits of hemp without the presence of THC. Kannaway® Pure Gold is ideal for anyone who is subject to drug tests, including active and retired military, competing athletes, first-responders, or anyone concerned about THC in their daily CBD supplement. Starting with the same high-quality hemp oil used in all Kannaway products, new Kannaway® Pure Gold Liquid has been filtered down to include non-existent levels of THC to create the highest quality possible cannabinoid-dense CBD oil product.
Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQB: LXRP) has developed and out-licenses its disruptive delivery technology that promotes healthier ingestion methods, lower overall dosing and higher effectiveness of lipophilic active molecules. Lexaria has multiple patents pending in over 40 countries around the world and was granted its first patents in the USA and in Australia related to edible forms of cannabinoids. Recently, the company announced it has acquired 100% ownership interest in its majority owned subsidiary Poviva Tea, LLC. Lexaria's patented DehydraTECH™ technology is focused on improved delivery methodologies of many commonly used Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients ("APIs") substances. As such, it provides an additional layer of effectiveness that is designed to harmonize with the intellectual property of third parties. Both patented and generic API substances can utilize Lexaria's patented technology.
Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. (OTCQB: ATTBF) on October 26th, 2017 announced that, "it has signed a definitive agreement with Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. ("Emerald" or "Emerald Health") (TSXV:EMH) involving the wholly-owned Abattis laboratory subsidiary, Northern Vine Canada Inc. ("Northern Vine"). "This is an important turning point for Abattis," said Robert Abenante, President and CEO of Abattis and Northern Vine. "The Company has always desired a strategic partner for its laboratory and has now partnered with one of the most experienced LP's in Canada.

MassRoots, Inc. (OTCQB: MSRT) is one of the leading technology platforms for the regulated cannabis industry. On October 18, 2017, the company announced the release of its new Dispensary Finder service with 6,000 entries that catalogue all medical, recreational and delivery-based dispensaries in nine states. MassRoots launched its Dispensary Finder service together with Sweet Leaf, a leading medical and recreational dispensary chain with over 20 locations in Colorado, California and Oregon with headquarters in Denver, as Dispensary Finder's first promoted customer.
