Top Ancillary Cannabis Plays

HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / March 8, 2019 / There are three main kinds of marijuana stocks:

1. Marijuana producers who cultivate marijuana, produce cannabis products, and distribute the products to customers.

2. Ancillary products and services providers who supply the products and services needed for marijuana growers and others in the cannabis industry to conduct their business successfully.

3. Cannabis-focused drug makers which include biotech or pharmaceutical companies that specializes in developing prescription drugs based on ingredients from the cannabis plant.

Are you overlooking ancillary marijuana stocks? Although some ancillary marijuana stocks may not come into direct contact with the cannabis plant, they provide everything from funding and consulting services to packaging and equipment. More importantly, they tend to fly under the radar and may have more upside compared to the growers and drug makers.

One company ancillary cannabis company to research is CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK). They have been ranked in the top 10 microgrids by Navigant Research. Their microgrid power solution for the cannabis industry cuts the monthly electricity bill of indoor grow-houses by up to 82%. That's a huge savings considering how much it generally costs producers.
