Giadha Aguirre de Carcer, New Frontier Data CEO explained, "Significant changes are already underway in California for medical cannabis and adult use laws, which we see will have major implications for the cannabis industry, including ecommerce and delivery services in the state… As the largest state in the country - and the largest potential market for cannabis products - the implications for the growth of the industry because of California's adult use market cannot be overstated."

MTRAC COO, Vanessa Luna said: "The greenRush e-commerce platform is truly ahead of anything else in our industry today and is one of the most valuable resources available to dispensaries and other companies and brands who need an effective platform to market and sell their products for both B2C and B2B purposes. This agreement will give us an opportunity to contribute to the growth of greenRush through our referrals and will also play a vital role in the growth and success of our existing and future clients and partners as we work with them to leverage the resources available through the greenRush platform."
MTRAC also believes that this agreement should produce revenue earnings for the Company as early as the 1st quarter of 2018 from several already executed referral agreements. In addition, they are currently in the process of directing multiple referrals and brand labels to greenRush, which should result in a steady source of revenue throughout 2018."
