Demand for cannabis concentrates and edibles is exploding in Colorado, offering a window into trends that will likely play out in the larger marijuana industry over time.
Retail sales of concentrates in the state’s medical and recreational markets surged 125% in the first quarter of this year from the same period in 2015, according to BDS Analytics, which provides cannabis industry data based on point-of-sale information it gathers from retailers.
Edibles sales, meanwhile, rocketed 53%.
Those gains far outpace the 11% rise in sales of marijuana flower, showing that demand trends in Colorado’s cannabis industry are evolving quickly.
In the first quarter of 2016, concentrates and edibles accounted for about a third of overall marijuana sales, up from just 24% a year earlier. Growth in concentrates sales accounted for most of that increase.
Consumers and patients are increasingly looking for inconspicuous and healthier ways to consume cannabis, and concentrates – particularly oils used in vape pens – fit the bill.
Dabbing has also exploded in popularity, both in Colorado and nationwide.
Tom Jones, director of analytics for BDS, said he expects concentrates and edibles sales to eventually surpass revenues from flower – not only in Colorado, but also nationwide.
“The share of flower in dollars has dropped from 71% (of total sales) last year to 58% this year” in Colorado, Jones said. “That’s a big change, and we absolutely expect that flower will diminish to a minority share.”
Jones pointed out that growth is still strong for flower, however, indicating that Colorado’s overall marijuana industry is extremely healthy.

A new center for medical marijuana education and research at a Philadelphia university could give the MMJ industry an economic shot in the arm.
Thomas Jefferson University recently unveiled the Center for Medical Cannabis Education & Research, saying it’s the “first major (U.S.) health sciences university” to lead such an effort.
School officials and marijuana industry leaders said the facility, located within the university, will provide much-needed research into MMJ and help doctors learn about medical cannabis via online courses.
The combination of research and education could lead to more patients using medical cannabis, which in turn could boost revenues for marijuana businesses.
The center’s director – Dr. Charles Pollack, who also heads the university’s Institute of Emerging Health Professions – said his mission will be to educate physicians, patients and the public about medical cannabis, though staffers won’t actually work directly with the plant.
He also acknowledged that the center’s work will be good for the marijuana industry.
“We’ll sort of cleanse the business environment and promote it,” Pollack said. “The more substantial the evidence base is done by respected clinicians and scientists and led by an unbiased and scientifically rigorous group that’s suggesting the studies that should be done, the more it will open up the product to many more potential users.”
Building Evidence
The center’s launch last week comes at a time when 26 states – including Pennsylvania – have passed laws establishing medical cannabis programs. Florida voters will weigh in on an MMJ ballot initiative this fall, and other states will likely legalize medical marijuana in the coming years.
The center’s emergence could prove timely for Pennsylvania’s newly created MMJ industry, which ultimately could become one of the largest in the nation.
Taylor West, deputy director of the National Cannabis Industry Association in Washington DC, welcomed the new center, saying it’s been a challenge “that the medical community has been hesitant to move forward” with the use of MMJ.
“Doctors rely on medical research, and because there’s been so little research, it makes it hard to provide doctors with the same kind of information they usually need to make a diagnosis,” West said. “Having a medical research institution really committed to demonstrating to the medical community the value of medical cannabis, that’s very helpful.”
Thomas Jefferson University traces its roots back to 1824, when it was founded as Jefferson Medical College. Close to 3,700 undergraduate and graduate students were enrolled there for the 2013-2014 academic year.
The medical cannabis center is located within the university’s Institute of Emerging Health Professions. Five of the institute’s employees also do work for the new center. Pollack, the director, said he hopes to expand the staff eventually.
Legitimizing MMJ Products
Marijuana industry officials view the creation of the education and research center as the kind of development that legitimizes MMJ products.
“This is a very major step forward for the entire cannabis industry, and it legitimizes the need for research into this very important plant,” Michael Bronstein, co-founder of the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp, said. “To see a mainstream institution get into this – and even associate their name with this – in my view is a new day for the industry.”
While the center describes itself as an unbiased scientific institution that won’t hesitate to report cannabis’ negative attributes, it also acknowledges that marijuana has medical value.
“It would be naïve to say the center is completely neutral on this. There’s tremendous patient demand for this. There are people using it successfully in clinical practice. There’s data that it’s helpful in selected patients. The assumption is that it’s helpful in a broad population of patients as well,” Pollack said. “But it’s been impossible to subject it to the same kind of scrutiny a regulated drug undergoes prior to being available to the public.”
For starters, the center’s staffers are:
•Preparing a research paper about the status of medical cannabis research
•Working on symposiums about medical cannabis that the center has been asked to hold
•Planning to develop online courses and other educational materials about medical cannabis for physicians and other healthcare professionals
Research Without Touching Marijuana
Although the center won’t handle the plant directly, Pollack said that’s not a limitation.
“Writing protocols, adjudicating scientific approaches, determining the most expeditious yet rigorous way to assess the potential improvement of patient outcome can be done by people who could be digitally, integrally involved in doing the research. Or it may be done by experts who are advising those people,” Pollack said.
“I don’t think it’s limiting to us at all,” said Pollack.
While Jefferson’s medical cannabis center may be unique, it’s not the first time a medical teaching institution has gotten involved with the cannabis industry.
Peak Harvest Health, a marijuana enterprise seeking medical cannabis licenses in Maryland, recently established a research partnership with the Western Maryland Health System. Peak also announced last December it would partner with Frostburg State University, based in Maryland, on medical marijuana research and cannabis workforce training.
Johns Hopkins University also received funding to conduct research on how CBD may treat concussions.
Physician education is always a good thing, Pollack said. “Patients will demand information from their providers,” he noted. “These offerings about clinical education will elevate the discussion, and make providers more comfortable.”

The truth will overcome, as the country becomes more & more aware of the great benefits of Medical Marijuana to relive the pain and suffering of people afflicted with various diseases and ailments, restrictions will lighten up exponentially. As far as the recreational use of MJ, the states will finally realize that MJ is much less harmful then alcohol and the revenue it brings will be to hard to resist.

New Mexico’s Medical Marijuana Industry Surging
medical cannabis in New Mexico
By Omar Sacirbey
New Mexico’s nearly decade-old medical marijuana market is sprinting ahead as if it had just opened, thanks to a 70% jump in new patients over the past year.
Sales via dispensaries hit nearly $10 million in the first quarter – almost double the total from the same period in 2015.
The growth has enabled marijuana businesses to expand, though companies are still having trouble keeping up with demand.
“Things have taken off,” said Duke Rodriguez, CEO of Ultra Health, a cultivator and dispensary owner. “Demand has been amazing.”
According to the latest report released by the state, medical cannabis sales increased to $9.96 million in the first quarter of this year from $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2015.
The state is now on track for at least $40 million in sales this year, moving it closer to the middle tier of medical cannabis states in terms of market size.
That would also put it within the $40 million-$50 million sales estimate in the 2016 Marijuana Business Factbook. Last year, the state’s dispensaries racked up $25 million to $30 million in sales, according to the Factbook.
The spike in patient numbers has largely fueled the industry’s sales gains. The number of registered medical marijuana patients in the state has surged to about 25,000 through the end of May from 14,600 in May 2015. And the patient count is expected to keep growing this year.
Ultra Health’s five currently open dispensaries see about 2,000 patients per week, but it hasn’t been easy keeping up increased demand.
“We’re stretching product to the max,” Rodriguez said.
Supply Challenges
While he is still able to keep his stores open seven days per week, Rodriguez said he knows of some dispensaries that are open only two or three times per week because they don’t have enough supply.
“There are patients who are being turned away at shops,” Rodriguez said.
The industry’s jump in sales, in fact, hasn’t been distributed evenly among marijuana businesses, according to the state report.
Medical marijuana businesses in New Mexico, where licenses holders operate vertically integrated grow sites and dispensaries, had average sales of $453,000 in the first quarter. The top business had revenues of almost $1.1 million during the quarter, while another business had almost $904,000 in revenue.
By contrast, 13 other businesses earned less than $100,000 during the quarter – including the two state’s two laggards, which earned approximately $7,000 and $27,000 in the quarter, respectively.
For now, there are 23 licensed producers that run 37 dispensaries. Another 12 nonprofits that were awarded
Bigger and bigger and bigger, No one is going to stop the MJ industry from prospering and the smart people will do very well.

The cannabis industry is becoming increasingly attractive to investors, who are pumping more money than ever into marijuana companies.
One indication of the increased activity: In 2015, cannabis companies secured more than $215 million in venture capital, according to data from the investment research firm CB Insights.
The infusions came in the form of 98 separate investment deals, including 30 in the fourth quarter alone.
By comparison, CB Insights – which tracks venture capital investments in the United States – reported just nine deals totaling a mere $9 million for all of 2013.
Chalk up the growth to several factors, including the emergence of new state medical and recreational marijuana markets, a surge in interest by mainstream investors and increasing acceptance of cannabis across the country.
The CB Insights reports likely don’t include every venture capital deal each year, as investment activity can be difficult to track in the cannabis industry. But they do provide a solid picture of the overall investment climate, which has improved markedly for marijuana companies by many measures.
Aside from growth in the number of deals and the overall amount invested, cannabis companies are also landing larger infusions of venture capital – often several million dollars, as opposed to hundreds of thousands of dollars two years ago.
The investment climate has continued to improve this year, with numerous companies – from those vying for dispensary licenses to cannabis business management firms to MJ software companies – landing seven and even eight-figure deals.
The current activity is likely just the tip of the iceberg. Several new medical cannabis markets will open in the coming years, including Pennsylvania and Maryland. That will provide investors with new opportunities to get involved.
Several states also could legalize medical or recreational marijuana this November, further increasing investment opportunities.

Just got a call from a broker that's been hounding me to invest in this bio company, I told him to stop calling (get lots of them)because I'm totally invested in the MJ sector. I think I finally got rid of him, he said "Oh there's a lot of money being made in these MJ stocks" wished me luck and hung up.
PS He mentioned GRNH & another company I'm invested in during the conversation also. Enough Said

Maybe I'm wrong about the MJ use in some of there products, I bought it so long ago I could be mistaken but I thought there was something with an MJ derivative in one of there products. Anyway holding over a Million shares, maybe they'll turn a profit some day, stranger things have happened. Nothing to sell since there is no Bid, so I'll just hold it and hope for the best. Isn't costing me anything to have it on my account. GLTA
I know this is off topic but is anybody here Silver Stacking?
Just bought 95000sh holding on to some dry powder just in case it moves. Thanks for your input guys
Honest opinion guys, should I buy more @ 0.003 or wait a while longer? Want to see if your thoughts are similar to mine. On the fence waiting for a breeze to push me one way or the other.
My finger is on the buy button but waiting for that ask to move.
More and more States legalizing MJ for medical use, soon all will follow in there foot steeps and many will legalize MJ for recreational use as well. CDC rescheduling is going to happen. People this is going to be Big, Big, Big

Ohio on Verge of Creating One of Largest Medical Marijuana Markets in the U.S. Ohio cannabis legislation
By John Schroyer
Ohio appears poised to become the newest state to approve a medical marijuana program, which could create one of the largest MMJ industries in the nation with patient numbers in the hundreds of thousands and annual sales in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
A medical marijuana bill approved by lawmakers last week stands a good chance of becoming law and is now the only legalization option left in the state for 2016.
The Marijuana Policy Project-backed campaign that was gathering signatures for a ballot measure this November halted its effort last weekend after Ohio lawmakers passed their measure.
That means the legislature’s bill will be the foundation for a new cannabis industry in Ohio, as long as Gov. John Kasich signs it into law.
State Rep. Stephen Huffman, a Republican, said he has received indications from Kasich aides that the governor is planning on signing House Bill 523.
“We passed it last Wednesday. He has 30 days to sign it, and I’m confident that he will,” Huffman said Tuesday.
