ACCESSWIRE - Tue Jul 19, 12:29PM CDT
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESWIRE / July 19, 2016 / South American Gold Corp. (PINKSHEETS: SAGD) announced this week that they are eyeing international interest in the emerging cannabis market as an opportunity to accelerate their revenue development plans and product distribution strategy. Citing statements made by Jim Hagedorn, the CEO of Scotts Miracle-Gro to a Forbes news reporter, South American Gold Corp. feels very well positioned to take advantage of a frantic market rush into the legalized cannabis space. Mr. Hagedorn recently spoke with Forbes reporter Dan Alexander about his vision for capitalizing on cannabis, "It is the biggest thing I've ever seen in lawn and garden," Hagedorn has gone far beyond just talking about the opportunities, and has invested heavily in this emerging market. He invested $135 million last year on two California-based businesses that sell fertilizers, soils and accessories to pot growers and, more recently, spent another $120 million on a still-undisclosed lighting and hydroponics equipment company in Amsterdam. He has also stated that he plans to invest approximately $150 million more by the end of 2016. These investments combined, make this investment larger than any acquisition in the history of Scotts Miracle-Gro.
