Beyond the United States, Canada has legalized cannabis on a national level earlier in June and has become the first G20 nation in the world to do so. New Frontier Data Founder & CEO Giadha Aguirre de Carcer, explained, "The domestic Canadian cannabis market will reach (CAD) 9.2 Billion by 2025. Combined, the Canadian medical and adult-use markets will rival that of California - which boasts the 6th largest overall economy internationally. Canadian usage rates in the medical market are higher on average than in the U.S. When the adult-use Canadian market opens the combined domestic and international opportunities will increase dramatically and create new momentum around the world." 

Chemesis International Inc. CADMF is also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker CSI. Just earlier today the company announced breaking cannabis news that, "is proud to announce the opening of its wholly owned subsidiary Chemesis Latin America. Through this subsidiary, the Company is exploring and completing advanced due diligence on opportunities for cultivation, production and export from the Latin American market. The Company believes it will be able to quickly gain market share in Latin America through the use of its networks and existing expertise.

Chemesis' long-term growth strategy is focused on international expansion. Globally, regulation changes are occurring for both medical and recreational cannabis, and as these changes occur, Chemesis intends to be a first mover by leveraging its existing networks and developing brands suited for the Latin American market. Mexico is a great example of these changes, as president-elect, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who has the job of overseeing rule making and regulations around Mexico's new marijuana law, unveiled a plan to change the country's drug strategy in several big way^[1].

Colombia, another front-runner in the Latin American cannabis market, is rapidly growing its capabilities. The government is hoping to grow up to 40.5 tons of cannabis per year, which would account for approximately 44% of the licenses issued globally. Colombia is estimated to capture as much as one-fifth of the global market, a value of $40 billion a year^[2] .

"Chemesis Latin America is a big step forward in our global growth strategy," said CEO, Edgar Montero. "We believe Chemesis has a major advantage in this region, as the recent acquisition of Natural Ventures can be leveraged to quickly capitalize on upcoming opportunities. With progressive regulations, Latin America becomes a key market that will be a major part of our portfolio. The Company has positioned itself to take advantage of significant opportunities in both Mexico and Colombia. This allows Chemesis to execute on its ambitious growth strategy to identify opportunities that will build long-term shareholder value. The company plans to announce the specific countries and jurisdictions where it will be operating in the near future.

Initial projections from mCig's Advisory team and based upon their collective years of farm production and development; the Company expect revenues greater than USD 10 Million annually from the 40-acre yield. With 212 total acres available, the NYAcres Project could potentially yield up to USD 50 Million per year in high demand CBD retail products with this unique approach. "mCig will continue to seek strategic partnerships in hemp agriculture," says Paul Rosenberg, mCig CEO. "The success of this venture with NYAcres is just the beginning. As the public demand for CBD and other hemp products grows, so does the need for a consistent hemp supply. With true hemp legalization on the horizon in the US, MCIG is well-positioned to capitalize on the growth of this soon-to-be billion dollar industry." The NYAcres project began in June 2018 as a joint project with FarmOn!Foundation.
