Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary

PALM BEACH, Florida, July 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer buying habits are shifting, as the cannabis industry evolves.  As that happens, investors are being offered incredible opportunities.  For example, according to GMP Securities, "demand for extracted products is going to explode this fall with the arrival of vape pens and infused products," as quoted by Marijuana Business Daily, adding that vape pens could lead with 20% of the extracts sector.  In addition, Aphria Inc. says, "The expected legalization of vapes and concentrates will mark a significant turning point in the Canadian market, providing more choice and new experiences, while opening the door to a range of new consumers," adding that vapes and concentrates will represent close to 30% of the entire Canadian adult-use market by 2021.
