Marijuana Penny Stocks to Watch, No. 2: Leafbuyer Technologies Inc.

Headquartered in Colorado, Leafbuyer Technologies Inc. (OTCMKTS: LBUY) offers discounts and deals for marijuana on its website.

There were few details released by the company in its Feb. 14 announcement. But the company did say blockchain technology will allow users to register and participate in "special deals."

You see, the blockchain technology could streamline purchasing marijuana online.

Through a blockchain program, the technology could identify who is a medical marijuana patient, or an individual who lives in a state where recreational marijuana use is legal.

The cannabis user could then theoretically pay for marijuana using the blockchain. The dispensary would receive its part of the sale, and Leafbuyer could receive a commission for promoting the deal.

With a streamlined process, more dispensaries may want to pay Leafbuyer to promote deals.

To be clear, Leafbuyer did not say this is how its program will work, but it's just one way blockchain technology could be used to generate more income for LBUY.

Keep in mind that blockchain technology is in its infancy, and the global blockchain industry was worth just $339.5 million in 2017, according to Statista.com.

However, the research site expects that to skyrocket 577.46%, to $2.3 billion, by 2021.

The LBUY stock price climbed 147% over the past 12 months, from $0.76 per share to $1.88.

If it can net another 147% gain over the next year, LBUY would trade for roughly $4.70 per share.

And our next marijuana penny stock to watch could be one of the "safest" ways to play the $10 billion cannabis market…
