PORT ST. LUCIE, FL--(Marketwired - Apr 30, 2014) - Water Technologies International, Inc. (OTC Pink: WTII) (PINKSHEETS: WTII), a the leader in the technology in atmospheric water production and design, today announced it has decided to expand its product line for specialized and licensed medical marijuana business operators in the United States. The recent expansion and acceptance of the medical marijuana industry, now within 20 states, has created high demand for clean water, customized cooling and humidity controlled units, specifically designed to meet the needs of large scale growing operations and green houses. The custom units will be able to generate water as well as clean, dehumidify, cool and heat the air in the growing areas. The units can be manufactured as marine quality and have redundant systems to protect the agricultural inventory.
Water Technologies, being located in Florida, is anticipating new legislation after the passage of HB 843 in Florida last Wednesday. The House Judicial Committee voted 15-3 in favor of decriminalizing low THC marijuana specifically for use in treating medical seizures in children. The full scale approval and legalization of medicinal marijuana in Florida is now on November's ballot. The Company is committed to establishing itself as a leader in both indoor and outdoor growing technology by providing customized equipment and innovative cooling solutions for large scale, licensed growing operations, greenhouses and medical marijuana dispensaries in states where cannabis is now legal.
The Medical Marijuana industry has grown to over 20 states and is now legal for recreational use in Colorado and will be in Washington State and possibly several other states. The medical and recreational use of marijuana is certain to increase the demand for the all of the vertical markets associated with cannabis.
Water Technologies' CEO, William Scott Tudor, said, "The medical and recreational marijuana movement is a fast growing industry that will have many big winners. We believe that our proprietary Atmospheric Water Generators, along with new custom products that control humidity and air flow provide a quality solution for indoor and outdoor agriculture. The growing demand for clean water creates significant revenue opportunities for our Company and in time will create real value for our shareholders".
