CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 4, 2019 / The end of the year was a large turning for the marijuana industry, as the year's events were instrumental in cementing the growth of the cannabis sector around the world. Specifically, in North America, many variables have fallen into place that have allowed for more favorable opinion surrounding cannabis. Following Canada's nation-wide legalization and the recent passing of the US Farm Bill, the nascent cannabis sector has shown exciting promise in terms of opportunities for investors looking to the space. With the new year just a few days old, CLS Holdings USA Inc (OTC:CLSH), Pyxus International Inc (PYX), Aurora Cannabis Inc (ACB), and Aphria Inc (APHA) are 4 pot stocks that are gaining speed on Friday.
CLS Holdings USA Inc (OTC:CLSH) is a diversified cannabis company operating as Cannabis Life Sciences and an integrated cannabis producer and retailer in Nevada through its Oasis Cannabis subsidiaries. The Company's business model is comprised of licensing operations, processing operations, professing facilities, product sales, and brand creation. Earlier in 2018, CLS Holdings USA Inc (OTC:CLSH) closed on its acquisition of Oasis Cannabis, a company which announced that packaged marijuana product represented 67% of its total sales.
As a cannabis retailer for the state of Nevada, Oasis served over 127,000 customers in its first year of adult-use sales.
In a year-end review letter issued several days ago, CLS Holdings USA Inc (OTC:CLSH)'s Chariman and CEO, Jeff Binde, said, "We are excited by the prospects of completing our proprietary processing facility in North Las Vegas with a scheduled opening in the second quarter of 2019. This is expected to serve as a showcase for other potential licensing partners along with servicing the needs of our branded line of City Trees. This is a potential game changer for CLS. We believe that we can bring a superior product to market with yields that exceed current options and at a price that is lower than our competition."

Pyxus International, Inc (PYX) issued a statement from Pieter Sikkel, the Company's president and Chief Executive Officer, in full support of US Congress' passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, following President Trump's signing of the bill into a law. Per the press release, the Company is ecstatic that hemp will no longer be considered a controlled substance and have the ability to become an agricultural commodity.
"We are excited about the breadth of opportunities provided by the Farm Bill. We will utilize our strong heritage of agronomy expertise, paired with our track and trace technology, SENTRI, to help American farmers capitalize on this emerging market to efficiently and profitably cultivate hemp. That hemp can be processed into hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) at our affiliate, Criticality, LLC's, state-of-the-art 55,000-square-foot extraction and purification facility in Wilson, North Carolina, expected to open in early 2019. We are also working with Criticality to help them partner with retailers to capitalize on the rapidly-growing, high-margin CBD market with Criticality's new line of CBD products, Korent, and new and beneficial products in its innovation pipeline."
