BreedIT, Monsanto and GW Pharma Underscoring Advancements in Medical Marijuana Industry
ACCESSWIRE - Thu Sep 04, 8:29AM CDT
Whitefish, MT / September 4, 2014 / There is no shortage of philosophies coming from so-called pundits on how to play the legalized marijuana movement. The problem is that it's a nascent industry full of nascent companies, making it difficult to discern which companies will prevail. Many jumping into the pot space are throwing a dart of momentum plays (mostly those in the competitive growing or retail businesses) with only a modicum of information. There are some sectors that are being somewhat overlooked that may offer a more fundamentally sound opportunity for growth. The biotech space is like stacking speculation (biotech) on top of risk (medical marijuana), but that usually adds up to a home run if a company can get it right. Most investors are aware of the potential regulatory hurdles, but that has not steered them away from GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: GWPH). Probably the best biotech working with cannibinoids, GW Pharma has caught the attention of Wall Street for many reasons, including an upcoming clinical trial for Dravet syndrome, a terrible, life-threatening disease where patients are plagued with seizures that many families argue cannabis provides relief (if not essentially a cure).

*UPDATE* Big Pharma And Medical Marijuana; How Can They Coexist?
ACCESSWIRE - Mon Aug 25, 9:04AM CDT
New York, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August, 25, 2014 / Everyone has been closely following the marijuana industry. Anywhere from accessories from companies like Vapor Group Inc. (OTCQB:VPOR) to actual growing operations, this market has been a hotbed for analysis and speculation. Of course as with many developing sectors, marijuana has a long way to go before we start hearing about FDA approvals and big business taking a stand. What we have seen thus far, however, is the emergence of brand new companies mostly trading on the OTC who are becoming the mavericks of the MJ marketplace and possibly leading the way for big business and more importantly, Big Pharma to follow.

Cannabis Should Be Treated as an Agricultural Commodity, Not a Biotech Investment
ACCESSWIRE - Mon Aug 11, 1:44PM CDT
Pittsburgh, PA / August 11, 2014 / While the future of cannabusiness is certainly bright, one controversial yet crucial caveat must be made. Pot stocks should be treated as an agricultural commodity investment rather than as a biotech investment. This is not to say that cannabis cannot be used as a pharmaceutical. It certainly can. Rather it should not be invested in as one would invest in a pharmaceutical. Taking a biotech strategy with pot stocks is the wrong road to take.
