Yahoo Finance Pot Stocks Ramping Up For October 2018
CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2018 / The marijuana market has offered investors a new opportunity for what many are calling "the green rush". But not every marijuana stock will be a smart investment as some are already finding out during these early days of growth. A new trend that investors are looking at is one of a mergers and acquisitions approach.
Not all cannabis companies can afford to get involved in such an undertaking but for a fragmented industry like cannabis, a roll-up strategy is proving to be beneficial for the companies that can complete these transactions. Not only has it allowed cannabis businesses to expand a national footprint but also an international footprint mainly with companies in Canada.
In a little over two 60 days, the date Canadian cannabis investors have long been waiting for will finally be here. On October 17, recreational marijuana will officially go on sale in the country, which follows the passage of the Cannabis Act in June. Canada will become the first industrialized country in the world to allow adults to legally purchase marijuana. With this, here are 3 marijuana stocks taking advantage of the new mergers and acquisitions strategy within the industry.
Market Cap: $39,044,678
Beleave Inc. (BLEVF) is getting involved in the growing legal cannabis industry by taking up a strategy that some of the larger cannabis companies are enlisting. This is an M&A strategy. Beleave has already wrapped up a number of companies into its portfolio including Medi-Green, Seven Oaks Inc., as well as a majority stake in Procannmed S.A.S. based in Colombia's quickly growing market.
In addition to this, Beleave announced this week that it will be opening two new Medi-Green stores which will be located in London, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec. Furthermore, the company said that in late-September, Medi-Green would be opening the London store. With approximately 1500 sq. ft. of space and onboarding will begin on September 3rd.
The Company has filed a patent application in the United States and Canada for this extraction method, which involves the activation, purification, and extraction of cannabinoid active ingredients.
This method delivers high purity and yields of cannabinoid compound using a process that is scalable and efficient and has been approved by Health Canada to be implemented for cannabis oil production.

In line with Beleave, Canopy Growth has also taken a strong stance in strategic investment and acquisition strategy.

This morning Canopy announced that approval has been received from the Veterinary Drug Directorate of Health Canada to research the effectiveness of cannabidiol or "CBD" to treat anxiety in certain animals.
In previous months, the company announced expansion on a global scale with the acquisition of Spectrum Cannabis Colombia S.A.S thought its subsidiary, Canopy LATAM. In the company's words, "This announcement represents a leap forward in the Company's growth strategy for its industry-leading Spectrum Cannabis brand. As a member of the Canopy Growth family, Canopy LATAM will focus on advancing medical cannabis and capturing market share across the region, home to more than 600 million people, as individual nations modernize their medical cannabis legislation."
