A market report by Ameri Research Inc. emphasizes that the global legal cannabis market was valued at $14.3 billion in 2016 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% from 2017 to 2024. During the forecast period, the demand for cannabis will continue to rise for both recreational and medical use products, and estimated global sales value is expected to reach $63.5 billion. The report points out the legal cannabis market is witnessing robust growth thanks to successful legalization and decriminalization campaigns across North America and Europe. Ameri Research also explained that due to the complex regulatory structure at the state level and federal level, the full potential of the market is not yet realized. Global Payout, Inc.

Major components of the cannabis industry are hemp products. "One of the most surprising things we found during this research was how many companies are currently operating in the space, and how few of them are generating significant revenue," said Bethany Gomez, the Director of Research at Brightfield Group. "Essentially everyone is trying to do hemp, but only a handful are doing it well. It's seen as easy because it can be sold online but, with restrictions on traditional marketing, it is very difficult to connect with your core consumer and even communicate why they need your product," Forbes reported.
Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) on October 26th announced that its majority owned subsidiary, MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. ("MTRAC", the "Company") is currently in the process of ramping-up sales and marketing efforts within Los Angeles County for its newly acquired brand, PotSaver. PotSaver will be releasing its premier Los Angeles publication on January 1st 2017 to coincide with the legalization of recreational use of cannabis in the most populous state in the country, California.
In the last year, PotSaver, a revenue producing, community periodical and online advertising platform that provides listings on discounted cannabis-related products for local dispensaries and shops has established a significant presence within the San Diego County cannabis community behind the efforts of its founder, Aaron Adler. In having been acquired by MTRAC in September 2017, PotSaver has been afforded the foundational and financial support needed to engage in a full-fledged sales and marketing campaign to expand the brand's footprint into both the Orange and Los Angeles County markets.
In recent weeks, MTRAC management has been working diligently to form a powerhouse inside and outside sales and marketing team that will work in collaboration to facilitate the successful launch of PotSaver's publication in Los Angeles. Mr. Adler will supervise this team and expand PotSaver's reach by executing subscription agreements with many of the top dispensaries, service and product providers throughout this newly available market, one that is expected to grow exponentially at the turn of the new year."
