Marijuana and Cannabis Business Becoming One of the Market's Fastest Grow Industries

PALM BEACH, Florida, October 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Many firmly believe the notion that cannabis and legal marijuana is quickly becoming one of the market's fastest-growing industries. According to the latest report from Marijuana Business Daily entitled "Marijuana Business Factbook 2017," U.S. legal weed sales are expected to grow by approximately 30% in 2017, 45% the following year, and explode higher by roughly 300% between 2016 and 2021. This would push the U.S. legal cannabis market to around $17 billion by 2021. Indications point to that type of expansion and growth is attracting more and more investors to marijuana stocks, which is fueling new business and revenue opportunities for companies such as: SugarMade Inc. (OTC: SGMD), GB Sciences Inc. (OTC: GBLX), Terra Tech Corp: (OTC: TRTC), PotNetwork Holding Inc. (OTC: POTN), Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA).

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) and Plantation Corp., today unveil the prototype design for BudLife, a unique patent protected device for the long-term storage of cannabis. The companies expect to begin taking orders for BudLife during the fourth quarter in order to prepare for the opening of the California recreational cannabis market on January 1, 2018. Sugarmade has produced a new video demonstrating BudLife, which can be viewed at http://www.sugarmade.com .  

"We think BudLife is a game changer for the cannabis industry. The industry has been lacking an effective storage device that will preserve THC levels, prohibit terpene degradation and safeguard the other important properties of cannabis. As the exclusive distributor for BudLife for the single largest cannabis market in the world - California, Oregon, and Washington - we are particularly proud of this product and look forward to helping the industry preserve its flowers during 2018 and beyond," commented Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade.

The quality of cannabis has risen dramatically over the past few years and it's clear that premium product keeps consumers happy and allows growers and distributors to command premium prices. But, the quality of cannabis degrades quickly, which places the significant investments made in high quality product production and distribution at risk. BudLife products are design to significantly reduce this risk and to allow growers and distributors to store and control the release of their higher quality products at optimal times in order to maximize profits, thus helping users of BudLife to shape the cannabis supply and demand curve. It's also perfect for the end consumer who just wants to preserve cannabis flowers for later consumption. Mr. Chan continued, "The addition to the patented BudLife product line in time for the start of recreational cannabis sales in California will be a welcome addition to our growing product portfolio."
