FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary 

According to new data published Arcview Market Research, a leading publisher of cannabis market research, the legal cannabis market is projected to continue to grow at a 27 percent CAGR through 2021, despite conflicting signals from the current presidential administration. The report created by Arcview's data partner, BDS Analytics, points out that the two biggest drivers of growth in this industry are the passage and subsequent implementation of new adult-use laws and branded product subcategories. Examples of these subcategories would be vape cartridges, edibles, and other alternative consumption methods. Invictus MD Strategies Corporation (OTC: IVITF) (CSE: IMH.CN), Cannabis Science Inc. (OTC: CBIS), Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC: MJNA), Easton Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTC: EAPH), CV Sciences Inc. (OTC: CVSI).

Troy Dayton, CEO of Arcview Market Research, said in a statement, "While the uncertainty created by the mixed signals coming out of the administration may cause a temporary dip in some valuations of cannabis companies and some more risk-averse institutional investors and multinational companies may continue to stay on the sidelines, it won't impact the growth of the market much at all. No matter what the administration does, states will continue to issue cannabis licenses to a long line of applicants and licensed cannabis outlets will continue to have long lines of consumers ready to purchase this product from regulated establishments."

Invictus MD Strategies Corporation (OTC: IVITF) (CSE: IMH.CN) is focused on three main verticals within the burgeoning Canadian cannabis sector: Licensed Producers under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR"); Fertilizer and Nutrients through Future Harvest Development Ltd.; and Cannabis Data and Delivery, with its wholly owned subsidiary Poda Technologies Ltd.

Dan Kriznic, Chairman and CEO of Invictus MD, stated, "We are very pleased to see the speed at which AB Labs has been able to secure starter material, strains and potential offtake partners for production. In addition, considering the magnitude of AB Ventures' land acquisition and future facility, and assuming AB Ventures obtains a license to produce the quantity forecasted for the proposed facility, the combined production capacity of both AB Labs and AB Ventures is expected to exceed 20,000 kilograms in 2019. Invictus MD currently has approximately $15.5 million in cash and is fully funded for the initial expansion plans with AB Ventures. Construction plans are already underway and expect to be submitted to Health Canada by May 1, 2017."

We will soon launch our observational studies for specific cannabinoid combinations targeting critical ailments. We will be growing a variety of cannabinoid combinations for our formulations and testing.
