VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 3, 2016) - Namaste Technologies Inc. ("Namaste" or the "Company") (CSE:N)(FRANKFURT:M5BQ) is pleased to announce that the Company has secured new agreements with manufacturers of indoor growing equipment. These product lines will be added to Namaste's e-commerce portals and complement the Company's existing portfolio of vaporizers, pipes, papers and other accessories. This new product portfolio also represents a further monetization of Namaste's customer list of approximately 250 thousand names.
US Elections
Currently, cannabis is legal for medical use in 25 states and recreational use in four states. Next week, the US will have three states voting on the legalization of medical use (Florida, Arkansas, and North Dakota) and five states voting on the legalization of recreational use of cannabis (California, Massachusetts, Arizona, Nevada, and Maine). Should all five states vote in favor of recreational marijuana, the US could have upwards of 75 million people living in states where the recreational consumption of cannabis will be legal. This represents approximately 23% of the total US population and is anticipated to advance the potential for legalization in additional states. In the US, support for the legalization of cannabis reached an all-time high of 57% in favor. Namaste's product portfolio is ideally positioned to capitalize on these potential developments in the US.
Agreement Details
Namaste has entered into agreements with Gorilla Grow Tent Inc., SuperCloset Inc. and Kind LED Grow Lights, all leading manufacturers of the most advanced growing equipment available on the market. Namaste will initially market each of the manufacturers' products in the US and Canada, and will receive wholesale rates on product sales. It is anticipated after the initial launch, Namaste will launch each of these brands into the twenty international markets Nasmaste currently serves.
