Dispensaries are staples of the cannabis industry.

This is where customers go to buy medical and recreational cannabis. Without these key players, there would be no retail outlet for cannabis consumers. After all, Wal-Mart isn’t carrying anyone’s favorite line of Kush. Not yet at least.

While dispensaries are important and highly visible in the distribution channel, they are also turning out to be one of the most profitable sub industries in the cannabis sector.

Dispensaries on the whole are doing well. And awesome in some cases.

According to a report from Marijuana Business Daily in mid-2016, almost 90% of cannabis dispensaries are profitable or breaking even. Take a look at the chart below.

Analysis originally distributed on December 14, 2016 By: Michael Vodicka of Cannabis Stock Trades

Back in 1991, very few people had heard of a company called Starbucks.

After all, what kind of fool would pay more than $2 for a cup of coffee? Particularly when you could brew a cup at home.

Today, Starbucks is a billion-dollar global leader and one of the most recognized consumer brands in the world. Early investors have been rewarded with life-changing gains.

Shares are up almost 17,000% in the last 25 years. Investing $10,000 at the IPO in 1991 would be worth $1.7 million today. $25,000 would have grown into $4.4 million. Take a look at the big gains below. Continue reading "4 Cannabis Stocks With The Best Chance To Be The Next Starbucks"

Canopy Positioned to Dominate with $430 Million Bid for Mettrum

Analysis originally distributed on Decemberber 7, 2016 By: Michael Vodicka of Cannabis Stock Trades

Two of my favorite cannabis stocks reported great news.

On December 1 Canopy Growth Corp (TSX:CGC), Canada’s largest medical marijuana company, announced a $430 million bid to purchase industry rival Metrum (TSX.V:MT).

This is one of the most important events of the year in the cannabis industry.

If the merger is approved by regulators and shareholder it would the single largest merger in the history of the young cannabis industry.

It would help solidify Canopy’s status as the giant of the Canadian medical marijuana market.

The combined company would have a market cap of more than $1 billion, 655,000 thousand square feet of annual production capacity and the potential to capture half the entire Canadian medical marijuana. Continue reading "Canopy Positioned to Dominate with $430 Million Bid for Mettrum"
