4 Marijuana Stocks Gaining Speed On Thursday (2/7/19)

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 7, 2019 / When thinking about the marijuana stock market, safety is not often something that comes to mind. This is due to a variety of factors, namely the recent influx of legislation regarding cannabis, as well as the general infancy of the industry overall. The current state of the market is rather volatile, but that is relatively usual for any nascent industry. Including the 2018 year, marijuana continues to look as though it could be legalized on a federal level sometime in the near future. As a result of the increase in favorable opinion, investors looking for potential opportunities have shifted their focus on the cannabis industry. With February underway, Future Farms Technologies Inc (CSE:FFT) (OTCQB:FFRMF), Curaleaf Holdings Inc (OTC PINK: CURLF), Aurora Cannabis Inc (NYSE: ACB, TSX: ACB), and iAnthus Capital Holdings Inc (ITHUF) are 4 pot stocks looking to have a breakout day of trading on Thursday.

Future Farms Technologies Inc (CSE:FFT) (OTCQB:FFRMF) is a publicly traded Canadian company that acquires and develops a diversified portfolio of projects in the cannabis and agricultural technology sectors. The Company is comprised of innovative decision makers, at the top of their field, determined to advance sustainable agriculture through the production of wholesale and retail cannabis products, including hemp.

As a leader in its field, Future Farms Technologies Inc (CSE:FFT) (OTCQB:FFRMF) is focused on four key market segments in the cannabis industry, namely cultivation, processing and breeding genetics, retail, and technologies meant to advance the sector as a whole. Presently, the Company holds an exclusive, worldwide license to use a patented vertical farming technology that, when compared to traditional planting methods, generates yields up to 10 times greater per square foot.

In recent news, Future Farms Technologies Inc (CSE:FFT) (OTCQB:FFRMF) announced earlier this week that it has reached an agreement with its Puerto Rico partner, TCG Investments, LLC, owner of the "Clínica Verde" brand of medical cannabis dispensaries, to expand its ownership interest in its Puerto Rico subsidiary, FFPR, LLC ("FFPR").

Following the announcement of the agreement, William Gildea, CEO of Future Farms Technologies Inc (CSE:FFT) (OTCQB:FFRMF), commented, "Puerto Rico is a strategic location for Future Farm expansion given its soaring patient population and increasing social acceptance of medical cannabis.
