The booming cannabis market is expected to have positive economic benefits, such as creating more jobs and generating tax
revenue. According to MG News, Vivien Azer of Cowen & Co. said in a report: "When you consider ancillaries such as
growers, testing labs, security, etc., the economic impact could range from $12.7 to $22.6
billion. Of note, these numbers do not include the impact of tourism, business taxes, licensing fees and paraphernalia
sales, which could drive the economic impact higher."
Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) announced on November 16th that, "its majority owned subsidiary,
MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. ("MTRAC", the "Company") continues to make significant headway with Pegasus Fintech, Inc. on their
collaboration in the development of a cryptocurrency token for the cannabis industry.
Last month, MTRAC announced the establishment of a strategic partnership with Pegasus Fintech, Inc., an innovative Blockchain
and Token Accelerator company that is focused on delivering solutions in the financial services, technology blockchain, and
emerging cryptocurrency market sectors. In recent weeks, MTRAC and Pegasus, along with additional companies they are currently
working in collaboration with, have been working on the development of a token that will be aimed at revolutionizing the
financial process that currently exists within the cannabis industry.
Coupled with blockchain technology, the token will not only provide businesses that are operating in the emerging cannabis
industry with the most effective option for transaction processing, but will also create a level of effective transparency in an
industry where the ability to track transactions from seed-to-sale is critical from a compliance perspective."
"Our vision is to create a fully intuitive financial network that interlocks the entire cannabis supply chain from
seed-to-sale," said MTRAC COO, Vanessa Luna. "This token will do far more than just optimize the
way businesses and consumers are able to process and complete basic transactions, but will create the kind of transparency that
will deliver consumer safety and ensure regulatory requirements across a rapidly growing industry by making it possible to track
every transaction from start to finish," Ms. Luna commented further.
Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA) is an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation. On November 9, 2017, the company announced that it has completed its financing of $800,000 in cash and 15 million shares of the Company's common stock in full satisfaction of the amended terms
of the joint venture agreement with Bougainville Ventures, Inc. Per the terms of the agreement and the completion of funding, the
Company has secured a 50% equity stake in BV-MCOA Management, LLC and will receive 50% of the net profits from leasing the
facility, which will accommodate a contracted cannabis production and processing tenant with an approved Tier 3, I-502 license.
As turnkey landlords, MCOA and BV look to provide an ideal cultivation environment for their future tenant and it is anticipated
that construction of the greenhouse will be completed in Q1 2018.
OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. (OTCQB: OWCP), through its wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, One World Cannabis Ltd., is

company. Through its subsidiary company SingleSeed, the company is providing products and services to the cannabis industry. On

payment issues plaguing the cannabis industry. SinglePoint sees vast opportunity for technology to solve payment issues related

offerings.
