Great day here. I just want to touch a little more about why I think that Marco has a very solid long term vision, just based on a few lines in today's PR.
In the post I am relying to from earlier, I mentioned the opiate addiction. I want to expand on that, as it has been on my mind the entire second half of the day.
We have a bipartisan agreement that opiate addiction has become one of our nation's mass epidemics. Marco, as a pharmacist and CBD expert, knows the effects of CBD on the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain and how the CBD affects the human endocannabinoid system via attaching to receptor sites and often competing for entry. Marco is also the newest member of the White House Business Council, a term bridging two presidencies. But hold that thought. I will come back to that in a minute.
The global opiate market, of which the US and some parts of Canada and small affluent pockets of Europe dominate 95% of, is estimated at $24B. Let's break that in half for US use, which I believe to be conservative, at $12B. Now, let's divide that by 50(for each state), and it comes to $240M. I do not know if this includes black market consumption, manufacture and sales from online/overseas pharmacies and underground labs.
To attach to annual state by state average expenditure of $240M, it must be considered that treatment centers can cost thousands of dollars, with rapid detox treatments costing in the vicinity of $10k. Factor in how hospitalizations, aftercare, counselling, etc., and the state by state numbers go up astronomically.
So now we introduce CBD/THC treatments with specific ratios of each to bind to endocannabinoid specific receptors in the brain, which can in turn assist the original source of the chronic pain that caused many non-recreational users to become addicts, which is the amygdala and limbic system of the brain causing a maladaptive stress response hyperstimulation of the sympathetic arm of the autnomic nervous system, leading to a vast array of central sensitization disorders such as pain, addiction, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, addiction, gambling compulsion, OCD, etc, and we get a rather immediate short term alleviation, followed by a long term gradual desensitization of an overaroused system.
CBD/THC products thus capture an enormous market share that has belonged to the opiate market, without causing future harm to the patient, provided it is custom tailored by a pharmacist, standardized for potency, and administered initially in an established medical setting, prescribed as a legally approved therapy by a board certified physician and/or psychiatrist.
Marco has set the framework to assist people in need, while capturing market share, by his arrangement with the Merit Health Centers. As states such as Mississippi go legal on the medical end, Marco can use his pull at the White House to get bipartisan agreement at the state and or national levels for government funding and grants to finance treatment and possibly govt permission and funding into the VA and other such facilities run by the nation and/or individual states, especially with proof of lower costs and tax payer reallocation of funds that could otherwise be rerouted to infrastructure or other needed/desired govt improvement programs that may be currently underfunded. He can use his telemedicine side of the business in conjunction with dispensaries(*possibly our own) coupled with possible in-house cultivation, and can work with Merit and the insurance companies to have this treatment package rolled up in a comprehensive unit that is backed and can assist inpatient care, detoxification and withdrawal, as well as stabilization, and outpatient aftercare and counseling, to be brought forth together, all run through a reputable facility such as Merit, which Dewmar is renting to and combining the HWRC and Clinton Wellness aspects to in such a way that both regulatory agencies and the general public deem to be safe and satisfactory, without stigma or local disrepute by peers or professionals. And as the relationship and scope of business improve, and Dewmar increases their financing and loan capabilities, this can expand exponentially, covering a vast increase in states potentially served. If Marco can set that up at 1%, he can add another $2.4M/yr per state he has clinics in, with much less conservatives being estimated but not being included here, which as a multi-state and multi-clinic operation, could yield 8-9 figures annually from this angle alone, not even including standard cultivation and dispensary sales, telemedicine elsewhere or for other reasons, or any other applications.
Long story short, renting to health care facilities in states that may be on the verge of legalizing marijuana, as to follow suit by more medically progressive neighboring states, could prove to be an extremely intelligent long-term vision, in which Marco pictured the house and was smart enough to build a large enough foundation to handle the vision of what would become a mansion if properly architected, designed, and executed upon time to build.
It will truly be interesting to see what this man does and how this angle develops. I think there is an enormous amount about Dewmar that has yet to be revealed, or even hinted upon. The breadth of this company is becoming an amalgamation of very profitable and socially relevant branches and subsidiaries, most of which can all in some way feed the others. I have made some conservative estimations on here, such as .05 as to not be grandiose, but I will say that without predicting a frame of time or share structure mechanics, I would not be ignorant enough to rule out the possibility of NYSE in coming times ahead.
