As Hemp Bill is on Brink of Legalization Cannabis Stocks Poised for Green Rush

Palm Beach, FL -- December 19, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary 

The cannabis market is aiming to end 2018 on a high note after a year full of momentum from moments like Canada'sfull-legalization, the Farm Bill in the United States and overall growth on the consumer side as more and more people have access to both Cannabis and CBD-based products. In America, the Hemp Bill is a massive step toward the end of prohibition of cannabis as a whole, on track to being legal across the U.S. which is expected to generate massive growth opportunities in the cannabis industry. Tucked inside the Farm Bill are several provisions that clear the way to making industrial hemp a regular agricultural crop, fueling experts belief the hemp market itself could generate annual revenues north of $20 billion by 2020. From a business opportunity idea, with industrial hemp expected to be treated like any other agricultural product many anticipate several key roadblocks that have slowed growth to be removed, namely free access to the federal U.S. banking system, unrestricted interstate commerce as well as access to federally backed farm support programs. Active Companies from around the market with current developments this week include: Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD), Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC: MJNA), Hemp Inc. (OTC: HEMP), Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA), Kali Inc. (OTC: KALY).

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCPK:SGMDBREAKING NEWS: Sugarmade believes the passage of the U.S. Farm Bill, which includes specific hemp cultivation and legalization provisions creates additional revenue and investment opportunities for the Company as farmers across the country announce plans to begin or expand the cultivation of hemp. Sugarmade provides multiple products for the cultivators and processors and is in process of bringing additional products into this marketplace.

The markets for industrial hemp, CBD oils and other hemp products are widely expected to explode upon implementation of the hemp provisions in the Farm Bill. Several analysts are now forecasting that the market for hemp and CBD will exceed even the size of the booming THC marijuana market.

"Our vast experience in the supply of cultivation, harvesting and processing products places Sugarmade in a strong position to increase its revenue and profit outlooks as dozens of new operations prepare to come online," commented Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade. "Many of our current products apply directly to the industrial hemp market, which is now opening up. Additionally, we will be marketing other products directly to this emerging market, particularly relating to post-harvest processing. We see this an important market in which we plan to be involved."

In addition to sales of hemp market related supplies, Sugarmade also holds an option to invest up to $1 million in Kentucky hemp operation, Hempistry, Inc., which recently successfully harvested its first 100 acre test crop. Plans are currently underway to significantly increase cultivation operations for the 2019 planting season.

Mr. Chan continued, "We are especially pleased with the specific provisions in the Farm Bill that include legalization of cannabidiol products. We think the inclusion of CBD into foods, beverages and other consumer products will continue to grow, creating additional markets for participants in the North American hemp industrial complex. We believe Sugarmade is very well prepared to capitalize on these booming markets." Read this and more news for Sugarmade at: http://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-sgmd

Since our company has been operational in multiple states over the years, providing the necessary infrastructure for farmers to maximize their output, we know that this legislation will benefit local economies tremendously." According to Perlowin, Hemp, Inc. has spent $25 million on building its industrial hemp infrastructure ($3 million over the course of 5 years building out the infrastructure in Arizona, $20 million building out the infrastructure in North Carolina, and $2 million in Oregon building out its infrastructure which only took 90 days).
