Investor Alert: The Next Big Thing Coming To Cannabis Markethttps://oilprice.com/article/Investor-Alert-The-Next-Big-Thing-Coming-To-Cannabis-Markets.html
One little-known cannabis company has found an innovative way to bring customers a unique and safe cannabis experience... and already has a provisional patent.
Lifestyles Delivery Systems (CSE:LDS; OTC:LDSYF) is a cannabis company with a fresh take on how to bring customers the relief they want most.
The company has a provisional patent on a unique THC delivery system: “Cannastrips,” similar to breath-strips, that deliver a potent dose without the health risks of smoking or vaporized inhalers.
LDS’s sublingual method delivers non-encapsulated biological molecules across mucous membranes to produce a soothing feeling with ease of administration, dose-repeatability and improved bioavailability. The technology pioneered by LDS could revolutionize the cannabis industry, and make smoking and vaping a thing of the past.
With four distinct products, as well as four unique flavors and potency levels, LDS has a wide range of cannabis customers covered.
What most investors don’t know is LDS has a permit to extract cannabis oil for third-parties, allowing them to supply oils at prices ranging from $12,000 to $15,000 per liter.
LDS control over the provisional patent in its Cannastrips technology will give it the power to corner the market on this new cannabis delivery system: they’ve basically erected a “patent moat” around their product, making it difficult for competitors to copy their methods.
With a facility able to produce 500,000 CannaStrips per day at a cost of $0.15, compared to an end user cost of $2, LDS could be set to take off. Savvy investors should take note, before they grow green with envy.
For a global industry that is forecasted to reach $30 billion in four years, there’s a vast amount of money to be made for investors smart enough to get in the game.
Here are 5 reasons to watch Lifestyle Delivery Systems (CSE:LDS; OTC:LDSYF) very closely:
#1 Marijuana Market Projections
The explosion in the legal marijuana market has been one of the biggest stories of twenty-first century.
From basically zero in 2005, sales of legal marijuana neared $10 billion in 2017.
Analysts predict legal marijuana sales will reach more $30 billion by 2021.
Weed sales are taking off. Sales in 2018 are estimated to exceed $11 billion, and thousands of jobs are being created as more than 9,000 active licenses are held by marijuana businesses throughout the U.S.
All this growth has been possible despite the on-going legal obstacles to the weed trade. But the possibilities for further growth are significant; the market is still small, the companies are still mom-and-pop outfits with low overhead and little capital.
In Canada, for instance, marijuana has become fully legal. Deloitte has estimated that the Canadian legal market for cannabis could be $22.6 billion: more than beer, wine and spirits COMBINED.
When legalization comes to the U.S., the impact could be even greater. That means the sector could double, triple or more in size in a few years.
#2 Medical Marijuana Use
Right now, the biggest cannabis market in the U.S. is for medical marijuana.
The U.S. market was valued at $7.1 billion in 2016, an increase of 25 percent from the previous year. Globally, the medical marijuana market could exceed $50 billion by 2025.
Inside the United States, twenty-eight states and Washington D.C. have legalized marijuana for medical purposes.
The health benefits of marijuana for chronic pain, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and a host of other ailments have been backed up by more than 20,000 scientific studies.
For people using marijuana products to treat medical conditions, the Lifestyle Delivery Systems (CSE:LDS; OTC:LDSYF) Cannastrip offers some competitive advantages. It has none of the potential health risks associated with smoking or consuming vaporized oils.
Users who seek medical marijuana treatments for pain relief will likely be attracted to Cannastrips thanks to their ease of use.
Cannastrips deliver cannabis into the bloodstream faster than most other methods, and the provisionally patented system can have users feeling the effects of the strip in 90 seconds or less.
#3 Recreational Marijuana Use
While medical marijuana is the biggest single sector, recreational weed use could be about to blow up.
With a few states leading the way, recreational marijuana is expected to add billions to the market. From only $1.89 billion in 2016, the recreational market is expected to grow to $10.8 billion in 2025, according to one analysis.
As cannabis products become more available for recreational and medical use, delivery systems have become more sophisticated. Fewer and fewer people are choosing to smoke buds and flowers, and are instead experimenting with edibles, oils and other varieties.
Trends in the cannabis industry point towards greater diversity of products, with tastes moving away from smoking towards chocolates, teas and other edible varieties.
Lifestyle Delivery Systems (CSE:LDS; OTC:LDSYF) unique Cannastrips could fit a huge market. They’re easy to use, easy to deliver and can be mass-produced to meet demand.
The potent effect of the Cannastrip and their convenience make them an attractive alternative to traditional cannabis products.
That could be quite appealing in the fastest-growing U.S. market: the state of California, where a full-blown green revolution is in progress.
#4 California Legalization
The market for marijuana on the West Coast just got a lot bigger... and this California-based company is about to become a big winner.
In January, California fully legalized recreational weed use. If you’re over 21, you can buy marijuana from a legally-licensed provider and keep as many as six plants at home.
California, the world’s sixth-largest economy has licensed 400 new businesses since January 1, and one analysis has estimated the state’s cannabis industry could be worth $5.1 billion by 2018.
Recreational legalization could triple the size of the Californian pot industry within a single decade.
The state has 758,000 medical marijuana users. However, out of the state’s population of 39.3 million, 14 percent of adults have admitted to being regular cannabis users. There are a further 251 million people visiting the state, making that market even larger.
And Lifestyle Delivery Systems (CSE:LDS; OTC:LDSYF) is ready to profit from the growth that will come from this expansion. Recreational use could cause the Californian marijuana market to grow from $2.8 billion to more than $6 billion by 2020.
It’s the biggest legal weed market in the country.
And LDS has almost no competition for its Cannastrips products. The company has all it needs to market its products in California and fully comply with existing laws. Other companies will need a lot more time and legal prep to catch up.
That means that Cannastrips could capture a big chunk of the market.
#5 Lifestyles Delivery Systems (CSE:LDS; OTC:LDSYF) Cannastrips: $50M in Profits by 2020
The global marijuana industry is set to take off. And LDS could profit immensely, thanks to its innovative, provisionally patented technology and its quality products.
Cannastrips deliver quality results to users in both the recreational and medical marijuana communities. They appeal to users looking for ease and reliability.
The full legalization in California is only the beginning. Wide majorities of Americans support legalization, and it could be only a matter of time before the federal laws are changed to reflect this reality.
Canada has legalized medical marijuana, and its cannabis industry is booming.
Calfornia and Canada represent the current trend: it’s all good news for marijuana investors. Particularly, cannabis shops and growers are making more money per square foot than grocery giant Whole Foods.
LDS represents the next step in the industry’s evolution. Savvy investors should take note and get in on the action before it’s too late.
