The marijuana industry is proving to be important in more ways than one, with Forbes stating that “A new report from New Frontier Data projects that by 2020 the legal cannabis market will create more than a quarter of a…

(SING) is building an acquisition-based cannabis business focused on high-potential targets that service the cannabis industry rather than those that deal directly with…

Singlepoint, Inc. (SING) Helping Cannabis Businesses Accept Transactions in a Secure and Legal Way

Despite a total of 28 states having now legalized marijuana in some form, the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration still classifies cannabis as a Schedule 1 substance, alongside heroin and LSD. With this mind, it has been hard for the banking industry to support legal marijuana businesses. Because such businesses have fewer options in opening bank accounts with national banks, they are pressured to accept cash payments, making them vulnerable to all of the issues associated with operating a cash business.

The Israelis are widely regarded as leaders in medical marijuana research. However, the local market is small, estimated at $20 million, tops.
