Cannabis Operations Heat up for North America Pot Stocks

PALM BEACH, Florida, November 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The North American Cannabis Market is surging at an unprecedented rate according to data collected throughout the young market's life. Just last year, revenues grew by an astounding 30% as the market expands throughout the United States and Canada. Canadian based Legal Marijuana/Hemp/Cannabis stocks showed a strong trading day yesterday alone reaching to new levels amid optimism over growth potential throughout the country. The high anticipation surrounding Canada's pending recreational cannabis market shows no sign of abating ahead of the planned legalization of recreational marijuana next summer. Last week the country's Department of Finance reiterated the government's stance to legalizing the marijuana for recreational use, laying out a plan to levy an excise tax on cannabis products at 1 Canadian dollar per gram (USD $0.79) or 10% of the sale price, whichever is higher. Active North American Cannabis companies today include: MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE:MYM) (OTC:MYMMF), Hempco Food and Fiber Inc. (TSX-V: HEMP.V) (OTC: HMPPF), Friday Night Inc.'s (CSE: TGIF.CN) (OTC: VPGDF), Surpreme Pharmaceuticals Inc.
