The hemp, cannabis and marijuana industry is booming while more and more retail investors are really taking notice. According to Cowen & Co., legal marijuana sales in the U.S. have the opportunity to reach $50 billion annually by 2026, with cannabis research firm ArcView projecting compound annual growth of 26% in North America through 2021. The cannabidiol (CBD) market alone is estimated to grow by 700% by 2020, according to Forbes. A new report by market intelligence firm Hemp Business Journal projects that the CBD market will grow to $2.1 billion by 2020, an astronomical jump in value compared to last year's CBD market of $202 million. Plenty of market professionals firmly believe not many other industries and sectors are growing as quickly as legal marijuana heading into the new year.

The Agreement further solidifies the ongoing partnership between MTRAC and greenRush that was established in May of this year.

In light of the popular belief that commercial tissue propagation is an 'urban myth' in the Cannabis world, this announcement is a true breakthrough. This fact, added to the consistently high crop yields and sharp monthly revenue increases over the past two months, is a pure innovation success story that is just beginning to emerge.
