Enertopia expects that having a strategic partner will assist in its ability to compete for more and larger projects in North America that might otherwise be out of reach.
Looking forward, it is estimated that the legal Marijuana market in North America which is estimated at $1.5 billion dollars today, could surpass $10 billion dollars before this decade is out and eventually become larger than the wine industry which had retail sales of over $34 billion dollars in 2012 according to third party reports.
Robert McAllister, Enertopia Corporation President & CEO said, “In my travels in meeting with MMJ patients the number one theme has been how medical cannabis has helped remove people from the debilitating effects of prescription narcotics and given them the ability, over and over again, to return to work and have a more productive life. Medical Cannabis is one of the biggest compassionate needs in our society today”.
