North American Cannabis Cultivation Gearing up to Meet Booming Supply and Demand

Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary

PALM BEACH, Florida, Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers and investors are getting excited about cannabis. Many reports and articles have exposed the fact that it's no secret that pot has taken off like wildfire in terms of popularity over the last several years. An article in MarijuanaBreak pointed out : "… the monstrous impending demand for weed that's about to hit the U.S. and Canada in the coming months and years – millions upon millions of new pot users are soon going to be looking to buy cannabis products in legal dispensaries, and this is causing a little bit of a mild panic among the folks who are responsible for growing all that weed. Basically, they're starting to seriously wonder how they're going to supply such a whirlwind of a demand. To put the numbers in perspective, Canada only had about 180,000 medical marijuana patients to supply in 2017 (medical weed has been legal in Canada since 2001), and a grand total of only 45 legal growers. That works out to about 4,000 patients per grower, but even at such a low volume a lot of the medical dispensaries across the country found it tough to keep their shelves stocked – many would run out of product altogether on a fairly routine basis." Active companies in the Cannabis market this week include Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB: NUGS), Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX: TRTC), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: CVSI), MariMed Inc. (OTCQX: MRMD), KushCo Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: KSHB).

The article continued by asking how in the world are suppliers going to fill that massive "green void," if they've had trouble supplying less than 200,000 people with weed for the last 15+ years?  They think that the supply will meet the demand, saying: "As it turns out, Canada is not alone in facing the overwhelming task of supplying millions of new people with quality weed. Colorado went through the exact same thing when they legalized recreational pot back in 2014, and they're only now starting to catch up to the supply-to-demand ratio.
