So, without further delay, here are 9 predictions for 2017 and beyond.

*Disclaimer - these are our predictions, projections and estimates, and contain nothing further. They are simply the opinion of our writers.

1. Cannabis legislation will be introduced in Spring 2017 detailing the legalization of Cannabis across Canada. This legislation will include instructions from the Government on how the implementation of recreational marijuana will take place. In addition to new distribution models, cannabis legalization will maintain the existing framework and e-commerce platform that’s been in existence since 2013.
2. Marijuana stocks will rally and move higher from January 2017 - to April 2017, then taper off moving into the summer. There will be a 6 month quiet period, or a waiting period from April/May 2017 - October/November 2017, as short sighted investors take profits.
3. This will be the most incredible opportunity of our lifetime - an entire industry deregulating right in front of us. From October to December, the market will start to pick up again in anticipation of a federally legal recreational marijuana market coming in 6 months, first being introduced in Spring of 2018.
4. The crackdown on dispensaries will intensify as the government rolls out it’s excise tax, and now has a legitimate reason to close unlawful dispensaries as they’re watching revenue (read: TAX) evaporate.
5. Pharmacies will apply for distribution licenses in order to stock cannabis oil. Note* NOT botanicals. Shoppers Drug Mart will receive its distribution license in anticipation of being a major distribution channel for the medical market, specifically cannabis Oils.
6. Clinic networks will switch gears to open storefront locations and become legitimate dispensaries, they will also maintain support towards medical marijuana as the government plans to roll out details regarding excise tax.
7. Licensed Producers will continue to expand at unprecedented rates, racing towards production levels in excess of 500,000KG’s to meet bare minimum recreational market demand. Yes, we said 500,000KG’s.
8. Collectively we as an industry will be responsible for creating the worlds first entirely natural, non-habitual, safe solution to the global opioid epidemic. To put that in perceptive the global opioid market was valued at $34 billion in 2014. The first of these solutions will come in 2017 and be in the form of standardized dosage medication in pill format. These solutions will have the potential to disrupt up to 30% of the opioid market.
9. Canadian LP’s will continually improve their grows, with increased yields, consistency and bud density and the Canadian medical market will surpass 300,000 active patients by December 31st, 2017.

We’re going to revisit this list throughout the year and see how we do.
