PALM BEACH, Florida, Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The rise of the cannabis market is being driven by consumer acceptance and demand. Consumers are not just eating cannabis up, but they are also drinking, vaping, dabbing, smoking — and the list goes on. It's been said that consumers are calling the shots and creating the direction that the markets will go in the future. Consumers are becoming more educated and are seeking retail cannabis products with a wide variety of products and of high quality. Increasing social consumer acceptance of cannabis products is driving up the value of cannabis derived/infused products. According to a recent industry report there are four major submarkets: Flower; Edibles; Concentrates; and Other. In 2017 Flower revenues were $4.2 Billion and were 50% of the market. By 2022 it is estimated to be a $10.5 Billion while shrinking to only 36% of the market. In 2017 Edibles revenues were $1 Billion and were 12% of the market. By 2022 it is estimated to be a $4.1 Billion while growing to a 14% market share. In 2017 Concentrates revenues were $1.9 Billion and were 23% of the market. By 2022 it is estimated to be a $10.5 Billion market while growing to a 36% market share. Lastly, in 2017 Others revenues were $1.3 Billion and were 15% of the market. By 2022 it is estimated to be a $4.1 Billion while reducing to a 14% market share. Active companies in the industry making moves to ready that include: Choom™ Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: CHOOF) (CSE: CHOO), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB), Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (OTCPK: FFLWF) (TSX-V: FAF), Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF), Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF).

The Report gave an overview of the market: "While seasoned consumers prefer smoking cannabis, other consumers are actually drawn to alternative forms that the plant comes in. Proprietary research from New Frontier reveals the products that most appeal to potential U.S. cannabis consumers: 69% solid edibles; 54% liquid edibles; 44% topicals; 36% joints or blunts; 32% vaporizers (vapes); 29% tinctures; 21% concentrates; and 19% pipes / water pipes.  he rising popularity in retail cannabis-derived products is being directed by consumers – and they're using products for everything from relaxation to pain management."

Choom™ Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) BREAKING NEWS: Choom™, an emerging adult use cannabis company that has secured one of the largest national retail networks in Canada, is pleased to announce that an Alberta provincially approved cannabis retail licensee ("Licensee") is opening a cannabis retail store in Medicine Hat, Alberta operating under the Choom brand.
