Get In Now to Win the Billion-Dollar Branding Race in Cannabis

by

For years, cannabis was associated with back-alley deals after dusk. Now it's becoming as commonplace as walking into a convenience store to buy beer.

That's why, as cannabis starts its next phase, branding is going to be incredibly important.

It's going to separate the winners from the wannabes. The cannabis firms that get branding right stand to make early investors a lot of money.

Take Starbucks – the company is an incredible branding machine.

Starbucks has managed to make its name synonymous with coffee. Customers know what to expect when they walk into one of its 30,000 locations around the world. They know what they order is going to taste the same whether the store is in a suburban strip mall or in the lobby of a luxury city hotel. Because the Seattle coffee giant has earned customers' trust through branding.

Incredible branding is also why the company is now worth $92 billion.

For cannabis companies to be known throughout the world, it's critical for them to follow a similar branding model. They need to offer quality and consistency throughout their products and services.

Smart cannabis executives know this and are working on it as we speak.

While there hasn't been enough time for cannabis companies to build brands that have global or even regional recognition yet, it's coming. But there won't just be a "Starbucks of cannabis" – it goes much deeper than that.

There will be companies battling it out to become the "Coca-Cola" of CBD-infused drinks, the "Apple" of must-own cannabis devices, and the "Uber" of marijuana delivery services.

It's these companies that are going to deliver huge windfalls for investors. So here are the upcoming cannabis "brands" we have our eye on now… Full Story

There's a Whole New Way to Profit in the Red-Hot Marijuana Sector

by

We can't overstate the importance of the 2018 Farm Bill for the American cannabis business enough.

But there's another, far less well-known law on the books that was fully implemented in 2016 and it's an absolutely earth-shattering development for marijuana investors.

In fact, it opens the door to a galaxy of investing opportunities in the cannabis sector.

Here's Greg with all the details and ways to profit...

The U.S. Cannabis IPO Wave Will Be a Massive Payday

by

Canada's fully legal "adult use" marijuana market throws the wild success of Canadian cannabis stocks into sharp relief…

In just the past year, Canopy Growth is up over 416%.

Cronos Group is up over 301% in that same time.

And Tilray, which only went public in mid-July, is up 577%.

These gains raise an important question: How can you make money on U.S.-based cannabis companies during this historic growth cycle?

After all, at about $8.5 billion, the United States cannabis industry is already larger than the Canadian market is projected to grow by 2022. And that growth isn't going to slow down anytime soon – Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics project that cannabis spending in the United States will reach $23.4 billion by 2022, a 275% increase in just five years.

That's an extremely conservative estimate, by the way, in that it assumes few, if any, additional states will legalize cannabis for recreational use. But because other states are coming on board and will likely continue to do so, other estimates have the market growing to $50 billion by 2022 – a 42.5% annual growth rate.

Yet there are no fewer than seven Canadian cannabis companies with a market value in excess of $1 billion, compared with only one U.S.-based outfit.

I'm looking for that to change – in a big way.

This will give you an idea of the size of the potential opportunity on our hands...
