NEW YORK, Feb. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Right now, cannabis is one of the latest growing interests revolving around Wall Street. Major investment firms are backing the industry, projecting that it will become the next prosperous market. And according to Business Insider, citing research by RBC Capital Markets analyst Nik Modi, the legal U.S. cannabis industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 17% to as much as USD 47 Billion within the next decade. The analyst says that the growth in legal sales is mainly due to the burgeoning recreational cannabis use, specifically in products such as edibles and concentrates. For instance, in Colorado, the state has seen its flower sales drop by 70% to 46% as concentrates filled the gap. The investment bank also says investments from other large sectors such as the alcohol industry are also contributing to the growth of the cannabis market. Weekend Unlimited Inc. WKULF, Emblem Corp.

The cannabis industry is seeing an inflow of investments from other industries due to declining sales in their respective marketplaces. The investments are broadening the overall cannabis market, which Modi suggests that the illegal and legal cannabis sales are already approximately USD 50 Billion, which rivals sales of spirits and wines. Some are looking to integrate cannabis into their businesses by creating infused products, while others are just solely looking to have an asset related to cannabis. "We think this is exactly the type of move that more companies should be making (not in cannabis necessarily, but having the foresight to invest in future revenue streams, especially at a time when the core business is performing)," Modi said.
Weekend Unlimited Inc. WKULF also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker POT. Yesterday the company announced breaking news that "it will begin to trade today on the CSE under the symbol POT. In addition, the Company is trading on the OTC Pink Open Market with ticker symbol WKULF.
The Company, which has just announced that it won the Canadian exchanges' lottery for the trading symbol POT, believes that the addition of the OTC Pink Open Market will provide enhanced investor benefits including easier access and greater liquidity in the United States.
"We anticipate that in addition to our new CSE symbol POT, trading on the OTC Pink Market will raise our visibility within the investment community and will help to broaden our shareholder base," said Mr. Brian Keane, Weekend Unlimited, Director."

Terra Tech Corp. recently announced that on November 2, 2018 it signed a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") to merge with Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. GLDFF, a cannabis company with cultivation, production and retail operations built around recognized brands. Under the terms of the letter of intent, a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Tech will amalgamate with Golden Leaf, with the resulting amalgamated corporation being a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Tech. Derek Peterson, Chief Executive Officer of Terra Tech, commented, "As new participants enter the cannabis industry the market is undergoing rapid consolidation. The companies that are vertically integrated with strong brands and multi-jurisdictional operations are best situated to achieve scale and retain market-leading positions. We are planning to merge with Golden Leaf's operations because its seed-to-sale business model is complementary to ours, encompassing both the Oregon and Canadian market which represent new markets for us, and touching Nevada where we are focused on gaining market share. Its 'Chalice Farms' retail dispensaries are well known and have an excellent reputation in Oregon, and the wholesale side of the business offers diverse, high quality cannabis products for all demographics, which are complementary to our existing wholesale product lines. This transaction, if completed, will create a combined company that will control 41 permits across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and retail spanning Oregon, California and Nevada, in addition to 21 pending permit applications in multiple jurisdictions throughout the U.S."
