NEW YORK, January 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
The cannabis market is growing at a remarkable rate, as the legalization movement sees success. Despite the global expansion, the North American segment continues to dominate the cannabis industry worldwide. However, many countries in Europe are already exploring medical opportunities within the cannabis market. And according to Peter Homberg, Partner and Head of the Life Sciences Practice at Dentons, European nations like Germany, Denmark, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and many more have already legalized or are in the process of legalizing medical cannabis. Although the medical segment is growing rapidly, the recreational market is still developing, primarily led by U.S. states like California, Nevada, and Colorado. According to data compiled by Genesis Market Insights, the global cannabis market was valued at USD 17.18 Billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 58.90 Billion by 2023. Additionally, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR 22.91% throughout the forecast period, from 2018 to 2023. 3 Sixty Risk Solutions Ltd. PTVYF, Tilray, Inc.

With the growing rate of the cannabis industry, new sub-segment opportunities have developed, as companies try to enter. Due to the grey area of the cannabis market, businesses such as banks are barred from working with cannabis-related companies. Nonetheless, the industry has led to the development of private sectors such as banking, edibles, and e-commerce, but one sector has come into the spotlight: security. Now, cannabis companies such as cultivators, retailers, and dispensaries are demanding security services. These companies are mainly seeking services like security monitoring, alarms, and armored truck transportation. "Security considerations will likely be a component of the application process," says Harrison Jordan, a Toronto-based cannabis lawyer and consultant. "We don't know how specific the requirements will be. In any event, it would be prudent to partner with someone expert in security practices."
3 Sixty Risk Solutions Ltd. PTVYF is also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker SAFE. Earlier this week, the Company announced breaking news that, "3 Sixty Secure Corp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3Sixty, has entered into a three-year master services agreement to provide security services to Canopy Growth Corporation ("Canopy Growth") WEED CGC across Canada.

Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. IIPR is a self-advised Maryland corporation focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized industrial properties leased to experienced, state-licensed operators for their regulated medical-use cannabis facilities. Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. announced last year that it closed on the acquisition of the property located at 10070 Harvest Park in Dimondale, Michigan, which is currently under development and expected to comprise approximately 56,000 sq. ft. upon completion. Concurrent with the closing of the purchase, the Company entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with Green Peak, which intends to utilize the facility for medical cannabis cultivation and processing upon completion of development. The initial term of the lease is 15 years, with two options to extend the term for two additional five-year periods.

"We are very pleased to enter into this long-term relationship with Green Peak and its strong management team, and to bring our platform to Michigan, a state that we see as presenting a tremendous opportunity," said Paul Smithers, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
