share
This week Technicorum Holdings announced an upcoming token sale and launch of The CanCoin – a cannabis token designed to solve market friction and monetisation in the European cannabis market and to help build blockchain-based solutions for the legal, fast-growing cannabis industry.
In the states, it looks like cannabis tourism could be on the rise – with a company in Las Vegas is now offering cannabis tours.
And Canadian-listed MediPharm Labs has secured a sweet $466,577 as part of the Australian Government’s $50 million Manufacturing Modernisation Fund.
The fund helps small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses scale up and compete internationally with the company planning to use the money towards $1,866,310 capacity optimisation project at its cannabis extraction facility in Wonthaggi, Victoria.
Staying on our side of the pond, BOD Australia (ASX:BDA) reported a massive 212% increase in medicinal cannabis product sales during FY2021.
The company sold 12,187 products compared to 3,907 in FY2020, retaining its 46% market share of the total Australian market for full-plant high CBD products retained during FY2021.
“We anticipate increased demand for our medicinal cannabis product suite over the coming quarter and beyond,” CEO Jo Patterson said.
