Virogen Inc. (OTC Pink: VRNI), a holding company that owns Tiger Team Technologies and The Cannabis Connection, today announced that it has partnered with California's TheMedMen, a medicinal marijuana consulting firm, in a venture that is intended to bring broader exposure to both firms. VRNI expects that, by venturing with TheMedMen, it will be in a position to gain a foothold in the medical marijuana industry, particularly in the lucrative areas of retail supply, support and consulting. TheMedMen anticipates that its association with a publicly-traded company will serve to increase its profile within the $15-20 billion legal marijuana industry.
"The Marijuana Green Rush has taken on a national scope. We provide consulting to all emerging cannabis markets across the country, so it is a natural next step to partner with a publically traded company to have an even greater reach for our much sought after services," said Monica Burrell, Director of Business Development for TheMedMen.
"We believe that our partnering with TheMedMen will allow us to establish our company within the medicinal marijuana industry as an agent for consolidation of the fragmented industry," said Paul Hogan, President of VRNI. Mr. Hogan continued, "Our plans for consolidation include the acquisition of businesses that are involved in all facets of the industry, including dispensary management, product cultivation, dispensary design and build-out, licensing, product delivery services, branding and marketing." Mr. Hogan noted that the portion of the medicinal marijuana industry outside of dispensary ownership represents approximately $6 billion in annual revenues, an industry segment well worth VRNI's efforts.
