PALM BEACH, Florida, August 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Cannabis companies are pioneering their way through uncharted territory across the globe as marijuana continues to become legalized in more and more states, and ultimately creating new worlds of revenue and economic opportunity in various ways for active companies in the sector such as LeafBuyer Technologies Inc. (OTC: LBUY), PotNetwork Holding Inc. (OTC: POTN), Hemp Inc. (OTC: HEMP), Agritek Holdings Inc. (OTC: AGTK) and GreenGro Technologies Inc. (OTC: GRNH)

Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LBUY) announced today its 2017 sales expansion strategy into West Coast legal cannabis markets.

"As Colorado's largest online cannabis deals network, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of the legalization of recreational cannabis in California set to open in 2018. Now is the right time to duplicate the success we have had in Colorado and grow our presence nationally," said Mark Breen, VP of Business Development.

"As markets become recreational, the rules change. Potential consumers increase from a list of patients with a medical marijuana card, to any consumer over the age of 21. Many consumers new to cannabis find it challenging to find accurate information about products, prices and where to find the best deals. As an online resource, Leafbuyer helps the consumer research and find answers to cannabis-related questions from the privacy of their mobile phone or desktop," said Kurt Rossner, CEO. "We are excited about the expansion and have deployed sales teams in each market. We continue to believe that face-to-face interaction with potential and current clients is the best way to gain their trust."

The number of legal cannabis businesses will continue to explode over the next 5 years. Gaining a competitive advantage over competition will be one of the biggest hurdles that these companies will face. Leafbuyer will continue to help clients gain that competitive advantage by offering the most robust technology platform in the industry. Along with the expansion plans in Oregon, Leafbuyer recently released a list of the most unique dispensaries in Portland.
