Cannabis Market Benefits from Legalization and Job Creation

NEW YORK, February 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The cannabis industry is expanding rapidly as support for cannabis legalization continues to rise in the United States. According to Arcview Market Research, legal cannabis sales in North America totaled $6.9 billion in 2016. Sales are projected to increase to $21.6 billion by the year 2021, representing a 26 percent compound annual growth rate. Rapid legalization and growing awareness about medical use of cannabis are the major drivers that boost the market. Cannabis for medical use is now legal in 28 states in the United States, while only eight states have legalized recreational cannabis. NutraFuels, Inc. (OTC: NTFU), Cannabis Sativa Inc. (OTC: CBDS), United Cannabis Corporation (OTC: CNAB), Terra Tech Corporation (OTC: TRTC), American Cannabis Company Inc. (OTC: AMMJ)

According to Los Angeles Times, Lawmakers in 17 states have introduced more than two dozen measures to legalize recreational pot use for adults this year. The expanding cannabis industry may help boost the economy by creating more jobs and increasing tax revenue for states. Mary Washington, a Maryland state delegate, said: "Our focus is on revenue and bringing in cash to the state as legalization becomes more and more widespread," according to LA Times.

NutraFuels, Inc. (OTC: NTFU) late yesterday announced that, "as part of the implementation of initiation of clinical studies on the company's product line of oral spray nutraceuticals has announced the appointment of Kenneth Duchin, Ph.D. as Vice-President Clinical Development and the agreement with Palm Beach Research to conduct clinical studies.

The recent growth of NutraFuels has provided the opportunity to explore the benefits of the oral spray product line. Dr Duchin's career has spanned over 30 years in the pharmaceutical industry in various management positions at Bristol-Myers Squibb and in small and mid-size companies (Theravance, IVAX Corporation, Noven Pharmaceuticals) as well as in start-up virtual organizations.

"We are very pleased to be working with Ken and Palm Beach Research to initiate clinical trials for our health and wellness products," said Edgar Ward, NutraFuels President/CEO.

Palm Beach Research Center's track record of study enrollment has created a large amount of repeat business. However, Palm Beach Research Center is constantly searching out new partnerships in the quest to work on new medications and treatments seeking FDA approval. Palm Beach Research is honored to continue a relationship, and form a strategic partnership, with NutraFuels, Inc.
