fitx said dispensaries in michigan also.

"My intention is to grow enough cannabis to supply Canada and build an export market," said Bill Chaaban, CEO of Creative Edge Nutrition in Madison Heights, Mich.

Marijuana from this Canadian facility would be sold in Israel, Holland, Colombia and Uruguay.

"We are looking for five times the return on our investment from this partnership," GrowLife CEO Sterling Scott told MainStreet.

Another play to look for: CEN Biotech will use technology company Endexx (EDXC) for its seed-to-sale tracking software. Licensed producer Tweed is looking to go public through reverse merger. Also keep an eye on seed-to-shelf cannabis cultivator Tilray, a company in Nanaimo, British Columbia that is controlled by Privateer Holdings, a highly regarded cannabis-focused private equity fund.

Medical marijuana is currently legal in 20 U.S. states, with Colorado and Washington state recently decriminalizing recreational use. This trend is only accelerating.

Recent analysis on the American marijuana marketplace by ArcView Angel Investors forecasted that the five-year national market could grow to $10.2 billion amid rising demand and potentially new state markets.

Financiers in Canada are looking to capitalize on this expanded demand in the U.S. and growing ability in Canada by using their business acumen to help develop cannabis companies that already have technical expertise.

Harry Barr, financier and president and CEO of mining company Next Gen Metals (CSE:N), is looking to get in on the marijuana game up north.

"Recent legal changes have convinced us that this emerging, multi-billion dollar market would benefit from our expertise," Barr said.
