ACCESSWIRE - finance.yahoo.com Posted 5 years ago

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2019 / The marijuana stock market has seen some of its best trading days over the course of the last few months or so. Following the passing of the U.S. Farm Bill, companies in the cannabis industry have been working tirelessly to build out their hemp-extraction operations in order to manufacture hemp products for the cannabis market. While legal hemp may not seem like a huge indicator for the potential rise of marijuana stocks, but the correlations between the two sects are staggering. Market analysts predict that this could be the year that cannabis skyrockets as companies in the sector continue to make strides in the right direction. The increase of growing approval coupled with capital flowing into the marijuana industry has resulted in attracting more investors looking for potential opportunities. Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI), Trulieve Cannabis Corp (OTC PINK: TCNNF ), HEXO Corp (NYSE American: HEXO), and Cresco Labs Inc (OTC PINK: CRLBF ) represent four pot stocks looking to lead their industry into the future.

Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) is unlike many companies in the cannabis sector because its core framework is built around healthcare. Whereas other companies are solely focused on cultivating and manufacturing cannabis products, Premier is largely a healthcare provider, which means that the Company elected to enter the space because of its accessible bandwidth to do so. Rather than solely utilize their resources for their patients, the Company recognized the incredible opportunity in incorporating medicinal cannabis as a means of treatment.

Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) provided consumers and investors in the cannabis sector with a corporate update towards the end of last week. Over the past year, the Company has completed several key strategic acquisitions, including Cloud Practice Inc, a healthcare technology company that provides cloud-based electronic medical records software applications for physicians throughout Canada.

As a result of this acquisition, Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) now has a collective ecosystem of over 3,000,000 active patients and 287 primary care clinics. Additionally, Cloud Practice has seen revenue growth in excess of 30% year over year for the past 3 years. Not only does this acquisition expand the Company's footprint across Canada, but it also provides an opportunity to plug in its services to Cloud Practice's current client base.

Amid their corporate update, Premier Health Group (OTC:PHGRF) (CSE:PHGI) spoke on plans for further expanding their operations. As for the Company's next move, they will be entering the Cannabis clinic space. The role of Cannabis in treating medical conditions is continuously expanding to help patients with acute & chronic symptoms. Currently, there is a critical gap between the patient's need for medical cannabis, and the physician's comfort and knowledge to prescribe it.
