FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary

NEW YORK, October 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

A report by Arcview Market Research indicates that legal cannabis will grow at 22% CAGR in 2017, as eight states that voted to open or expand their cannabis markets on Election Day in November 2016. According to the report, the industry accelerated at a remarkable pace in 2016. North American consumers spent $6.7 billion on legal cannabis products, or up 34% from 2015. The 34% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2014 to 2016 was driven primarily by Colorado and Washington initiating adult-use sales. Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE), SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING), GreenGro Technologies, Inc. (OTC: GRNH), OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. (OTC: OWCP), AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. (OTC: AXIM).

A research published by New Frontier Data shows how the pharmaceutical market will be influenced by medical cannabis. "The United States constitutes 35% of the global pharmaceutical market, the largest market in the world, and a major driver of the U.S. economy. It is one of many industries that will be impacted by the growth of the legal cannabis market and we are already starting to see that trend in legal medical states where use of key prescription drugs is down by 11%. If cannabis were to be adopted nationally, we would begin to see a trend of patients turning to medical cannabis as a substitute or complement to pharmaceuticals," said Giadha Aguirre De Carcer, CEO & Founder, New Frontier Data.

Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) announced yesterday that its majority owned subsidiary, MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. has completed the execution of a joint venture partnership agreement (the "JV") with MediaTechnics Corporation's (OTCPink: MEDT) majority owned subsidiary, BlazeNow Inc.

"The application technology developed by BlazeNow has the potential to become one of the most valuable resources to patients, consumers, and retailers in the cannabis industry," said MTRAC COO, Vanessa Luna. "We recognized this potential from the first day we were introduced to Mr. Carr (BlazeNow CEO, Jeremy Carr) and his team, and through this newly established joint venture, we are excited to put the business, networking, and technology tools we have acquired to use in helping the BlazeNow brand breakthrough and flourish within the industry," Ms. Luna further remarked.
