PALM BEACH, Florida, April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The projections for the legal & CBD cannabis markets seem to get higher with every new arrival and big box and brick & mortar retailers of all sizes have taken notice. The legal marijuana and CBD markets numbers are increasingly optimistic. Legal Marijuana: "Today, the U.S. is the epicenter of the legal cannabis market and it appears it will hold that position for the foreseeable future. By 2022, legal cannabis revenue in the U.S. market is projected to hit $23.4 billion." CBD: Add in the figures for the CBD markets: "Hemp-Derived CBD Will Outpace All Other Cannabis Markets, Projected to Hit $22 Billion by 2022" and it's easy to see why retailers want 'in' on the market. The CBD market is easier right now for the big box companies to get involved especially since CBD for medical use is legal in 46 states and CBD derived from hemp rather than marijuana is legal in all states. Active companies in the cannabis industry includes:  CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. (CSE:CROP) (OTC:CRXPF), MedMen Enterprises Inc. (CSE: MMEN) (OTC: MMNFF), CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST) (NYSE: CTST), The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE: BOSS) (OTC: BOSQF), OrganiGram Holdings Inc. (TSX-V: OGI) (OTC: OGRMF).

A February 2019 article on the CNN Business site, titled "America's stores are taking the leap into cannabis products" commented on this surge: "Retailers are racing to grab a piece of the booming CBD market. Stores like DSW, Neiman Marcus, and Barney's all recently began selling beauty products that feature (CBD). Barney's upped the stakes (recently) when it revealed plans for a small, cannabis-themed shop at its Beverly Hills store that showcases CBD beauty products, along with glass pipes, gold rolling papers, and grinder necklaces. "There is a demand for high-end CBD products," Kim D'Angelo, Neiman Marcus' beauty buyer, told CNN Business. "CBD products are the next big thing in beauty." 

CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. (CSE:CROP) (OTCPK:CRXPF) (Frankfurt: 2FR) BREAKING NEWS:  CROP announced today that it has identified multiple Tenants for a roll out strategy to enter Oklahoma to target the Medical Cannabis market focusing on Cultivation, Extraction and Retail infrastructure. CROP will own 49% of the newly incorporated company.

The focus of the Oklahoma partnership will be to set up 20 acres of cultivation for medical cannabis and establish up to three retail locations. The 20 acres of medical Cannabis, once tenants are cultivating, is estimated to yield 30,000 lbs of dried flower per year. CROP has agreed to fund up to $500,000 USD for the initial start-up capital for the cultivation and retail locations.

In November 2018, an effort to place recreational cannabis on Oklahoma's ballot fell short by 20,000 signatures. The Secretary of State's office determined supporters of the initiative gathered only about 103,000 signatures for State Question 797. The required 123,000 signatures was not met to qualify for a public vote. Read this full announcement and more news for CROP Infrastructure at:   https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-crop/
