NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE -- Costas Inc. (OTC MARKETS: CSSI ) (CSSI or “the Company) is pleased to announce that, in the wake of the $867 billion 2018 Farm Bill having been signed into Law, the Company is entering the Cannabis industry which will include multiple acquisitions and operations in the sector to include extraction, processing, marketing and distribution.  The Company Board has approved purchasing of extraction equipment and partnerships with select cultivators in processing multiple product lines.

“The 2018 Farm Bill includes an amendment that removes hemp from the list of controlled substances under federal law. This legalizes, federally, hemp cultivation which could lead to a potential of additional 1 million jobs in the United States for 2019.  Our team agrees that the industry is poised for seismic growth and Costas will position itself strategically for meaningful participation in the market.

Costas Inc. is currently assembling a short-list of target executives with distinguished experience in the cannabis/hemp markets to serve as officers and directors as we move forward with initial acquisitions that are set for completion in January 2019.
