MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary
PALM BEACH, Florida, September 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Industry professionals are reporting that sales growth estimates for the legal marijuana, hemp and cannabis industry are reaching new highs every day. The Marijuana Business Daily's newest report, "Marijuana Business Factbook 2017," is forecasting that legal U.S. cannabis sales could soar by approximately 300% to around $17 billion annually by 2021. A compound annual growth rate in the mid-20% range moving forward is simply something that industry experts and leading companies are taking very seriously. Active companies in industry this week include: SugarMade Inc. (OTC: SGMD), India Globalization Capital Inc. (NYSE: IGC), CV Sciences Inc. (OTC: CVSI), Terra Tech Corp: (OTC: TRTC), Hemp Inc. (OTC: HEMP).
Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) and Plantation Corp., today announce important breakthroughs in long-term cannabis storage. Laboratory research has produced an optimum proprietary packaging atmosphere that will allow long-term storage of cannabis in the new BudLife containers. The management teams of both companies consider this research breakthrough to be highly significant to the emerging cannabis industry.
After many iterations and modifications to the patented technologies, Plantation has come up with what it believes is the optimum storage atmosphere for cannabis flowers.BudLife products will preserve the important properties of cannabis - THC levels, terpene quality, and tricome structure, along with aroma and feel. Sugarmade and Plantation are now turning development efforts toward finalizing the packing design, a process that is well underway. Based on these breakthroughs the companies expect to begin taking orders for BudLife in the 4th quarter of this year.

"We are super excited to be the exclusive distributor for BudLife products for the single largest cannabis market in the world, the U.S. states of California, Oregon and Washington," commented Jimmy Chan CEO of Sugarmade. We believe this breakthrough is really important. With the growing glut of cannabis flowers in the marketplace, storage will be more critical than ever. As the California market opens up, we expect to see even more cannabis hit the market. We plan to help the cannabis industry deal with this supply issue via high quality preservation and storage products. We look forward to releasing pricing and prototypes, and to begin to take pre-orders for these patented and trade secret protected products. We urge all of our investors to visit http://www.budlife.net to review this groundbreaking cannabis storage technology."
The quality of cannabis has risen dramatically over the past few years and it's clear that premium product keeps consumers happy and allows growers and distributors to command premium prices. But, the quality of cannabis degrades quickly, which places the significant investments made in high quality product production at risk. BudLife products are design to significantly reduce this risk and to allow growers and distributors to store and control the release of their higher quality products at optimal times in order to maximize profits, thus helping users of BudLife to shape the cannabis supply and demand curve.
