MPX Bioceuticals dominant multi-state cannabis operator MPX Bioceutical Corp (OTCMKTS:MPXEF) Shares Blast Higher on Huge Jump in Volume
MPX Bioceutical Corp (OTCMKTS:MPXEF) shares blasted 21.5% higher on Friday, in a move that amounted to a breakout above multi-month range highs. The move was no doubt related, at least in part, to news that Pres. Trump was siding with state’s rights in the matter of marijuana and cannabis legalization issues. However, the company has also been building up its own catalysts.
As a case in point , the company just announced that the official opening of the its newest “Health for Life” medical marijuana dispensary in the Metropolitan Phoenix area, located at the junction of E. Main and Crimson in the suburb of Apache Junction. According to the release, “this brings the number of dispensaries under MPX management in Arizona’s Sun Valley to four. The Crimson dispensary will meet the needs of patients in this comparatively underserviced southeast quadrant of the region by making available the full spectrum of MPX concentrates, an extensive variety of cannabis flower, and a broad selection of 3rd party, processed cannabis-infused edibles.”
MPX Bioceutical Corp (OTCMKTS: MPXEF) is a multi-state diversified cannabis company with operations focused in the U.S. in the adult use and medical cannabis markets.
The company’s foundation is built on its profitable operations in Arizona, with three (and soon four), operating dispensaries and well the established Melting Point Extracts (MPX) Brand; it also has operations in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Nevada.
