How to Navigate in the Cannabis Industry

LAS VEGAS, June 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

FN Media Group Presents Microcapspeculators.com News Commentary 

Once legal cannabis started in several states, companies servicing the industry began to pop up left and right. For example, at the start of 2018 California legalized recreational marijuana and within two weeks, two dozen Los Angeles businesses got approval to sell recreational products. The cannabis industry grows faster than 'weeds'. The more dispensaries the more demand for products.

So how does one navigate this industry currently? Well the short answer is there are several options. There are ETFs, Canadian Companies, Drug Makers (the medical kind of course) and many more.

Here are a few public companies involved in this booming industry: NightFood Holdings, Inc. (OTC:NGTF), CV Sciences Inc. (OTC:CVSI), GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:GWPH) and Cara Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CARA).

The Half-Baked brand THC-infused cookies each contain 10mg of THC and will retail for approximately $5. As originally announced on April 20, 2018, the product is on track to be available at retail before the end of May.

"This is the birth of a leading national edibles brand in the marijuana space. That's how we view this initial production run and pilot launch," commented CEO Sean Folkson. "As more states continue to follow suit and pass marijuana legislation, we see an increase in the value of the opportunity and in the value of the Half-Baked intellectual property."
