Michael Cummings, CEO of The CannaBusiness Group, Inc. stated, "I am very excited about the 1st quarter financials, I know our revenues numbers are not the level at which I would expect at this point however, with many new clients opening up facilities in new markets daily and our plans to hire more sales staff throughout the country will only increase our year end financials. CBGI is in the growth stage of our company and spending money on advertising, acquiring inventory, attending trade shows and building a strong and viable sales team. We will continue to search for areas to improve within CBGI and continue to increase our revenues as well as profits."  The legal medical marijuana industry is among the fastest growing and was one of the most resilient markets since the 2013 market boom, experiencing impressive growth during this entire period. This strong and rapid market growth is forecasted by experts to continue for years to come, due to continued and growing legalization at the State levels. In addition, this industry is expected to exceed $8.2 billion by 2018 according to the most recent forecasts.
