TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 11, 2018 / Oxford Investments Holdings Inc. ("Oxford" or the "Company")
(OTCMKTS: OXIHF) is pleased to announce that its US-based subsidiary, FloraCana Consultants, Inc. ("FloraCana"), operating under
the name of "Pioneer Green USA", has entered into another license agreement in Florida.
The new Pioneer Green USA store will be located in the Red Barn Flea Market, a popular Bradenton, Florida regional landmark that
operates year-round and attracts up to 50,000 people each weekend. The 600-sq. ft. Pioneer Green USA store is expected to have its
grand opening on December 15 and will be one of 60 permanent stores in the market which are open six days a week. On weekends, an
additional 600 vendors ply their wares. The Red Barn supports its vendors with high traffic, special events, advertising, clean
facilities, food courts, and over ten acres of parking.
Under the terms of the license agreement, the licensee is responsible for the lease of their storefront. The licensee engages
FloraCana to set up a turn-key Pioneer Green USA branded store and stock it with a variety of CBD products ranging from oils,
vaporizers, salves and ointments which are white-labelled specifically for Pioneer Green USA from multiple suppliers. By agreement,
licensees are obligated to purchase Pioneer Green CBD products on an ongoing basis.
"We are very excited for the launch of the Red Barn store. It is in a very high traffic location and should be a wonderful
showcase for Pioneer Green USA branded CBD products. As I’ve said before, we believe that CBD is expected to be one of the fastest
growing industries in the US over the next three to five years as more people become aware of the potential health and wellness
benefits of CBD," stated Michael Donaghy, President of Oxford. "We are looking to expand our concept into other states and striving
to make Pioneer Green USA into a nationally recognized brand."
The CBD market is a large part of the legal cannabis industry. The Hemp Business
Journal estimates that the CBD market will grow to a $2.1 billion USD market in consumer sales by 2020 with $450 million
USD of those sales coming from hemp-based sources. That is a 700% increase from 2016. In 2015, the market for consumer sales of
hemp-derived CBD products was $90 million USD.
CBD (Cannabidiol) is a hemp-derived compound that has potentially significant medical benefits to human and animal health and
wellness. Scientific and clinical research, often supported by academia, the US government, and the World Health Organization, which has concluded that CBD offers a range of medical health benefits
without the potential to be abused or cause harm in users. This makes it an appealing option for patients looking for relief from
inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, spasms, and other conditions without
disconcerting feelings of tiredness or feeling "stoned".
CBD that is derived from hemp is legal to import and purchase in all 50 U.S. states, without a prescription. Unlike THC and
marijuana, Cannabidiol itself isn’t listed in the Controlled Substances Act.
