NEW YORK, July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- NEW YORK, July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to research published by Oristep Consulting, the global medical cannabis market was valued at USD 12.67 Billion in 2016 and will reach USD 33.41 Billion by 2022, while growing at a CAGR of 17.53% during the forecast period. The two main cannabinoids from the cannabis plant are THC and CBD, both of which are used as treatments for various conditions such as lack of appetite, nausea, pain, inflammation (swelling and redness), as well as muscle control problems. The report also specifies that North America leads the market, holding about half of the market share in 2016. As for recreational cannabis products, the continued spread of legalization across North America is pushing the market projections to new highs. On June 19 [th] , Canada legalized cannabis across the nation. Additionally, earlier this year, California began legal sales of cannabis products for recreational use and since then, further political changes have been planned. CLS Holdings USA, Inc. CLSH, +2.14% Lexaria Bioscience Corp. LXRP, +0.51% Namaste Technologies Inc. NXTTF, -1.65% CV Sciences Inc. CVSI, +3.81% Leafbuyer Technologies Inc. LBUY, -2.01%
Meanwhile, States enjoy the benefits from the new growing market. Fortune reported that, "in order to collect USD 1 Billion a year in taxes, the state will need to reach a projected USD 7 Billion in annual legal recreational cannabis sales. At that rate, California would easily be the country's largest legal marijuana market, as the entire legal cannabis industry in the U.S. is expected to pull in roughly USD 10 Billion in total sales for 2017. That number would almost certainly get a boost in the coming years, as legal markets grow in California and other states, such as Nevada and Massachusetts."
CLS Holdings USA, Inc. (otcqb:CLSH) last week announced breaking news that, "the successful closing of its acquisition of Oasis Cannabis. CLS is now active in the legalized cannabis market in Las Vegas, NV, generating USD $850,000 in gross monthly revenue.
Oasis Cannabis is a fully integrated cannabis operation in Las Vegas, Nevada. Since 2017, Oasis has been involved in growing, extraction, conversion, processing and operating a dispensary. Its grow, extraction, conversion and processing facility had its best month ever last month in generating USD 200,000 in gross revenues. Due to increased demand and the additional capital that was just raised, CLS plans to triple the grow production capacity over the remainder of 2018. On the retail dispensary side, Oasis has steadily witnessed increased traffic over the past few months, is now up to 400 daily visitors, and is currently generating USD 650,000 of gross monthly revenue.
Oasis's City Trees wholesale product line recently more than doubled its number of product SKUs offered to retail dispensary customers and now covers a variety of concentrates, vape pens, and capsules, and tinctures including high CBD versions. The City Trees product line is now being sold in over 20 dispensaries in the Las Vegas and Reno markets."
CLS Chief Executive, Jeff Binder, commented, "We are thrilled to have successfully completed the acquisition of Oasis Cannabis. We are thankful to our existing long-term shareholders for their patience and our new investors who share our enthusiasm and excitement for the Nevada market with Oasis and additional expansion opportunities as they evolve. We look forward to building out a significant and diversified cannabis operation with multiple locations. We believe this is just the beginning for CLS and anticipate great things to come."
Ben Sillitoe, Co-Founder of Oasis Cannabis, commented, "This is an exciting time for the entire Oasis team. The closing of this transaction is a major milestone for our strategic growth plans. As we add new locations and expand our product manufacturing and cultivation facilities there will be more jobs created and additional opportunities for our existing team to advance in their careers. I'm personally honored by all of this. This is such a unique time in our country's history and I'm very proud to be a part of the movement to end cannabis prohibition. Now that our entire Nevada operation is a wholly owned subsidiary of a publicly-traded company there is more opportunity for people to be a part of it."
