Cannabidiol (CBD) is the part of the cannabis plant that is usually used for medical purposes. Growth of the medical cannabis market is expected to accelerate as the products become more popular treatments for various medical applications such as chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sleep disorders, anxiety, nerve pain and others. "The United States constitutes 35% of the global pharmaceutical market, the largest market in the world, and a major driver of the U.S. economy. It is one of many industries that will be impacted by the growth of the legal cannabis market and we are already starting to see that trend in legal medical states where use of key prescription drugs is down by 11%. If cannabis were to be adopted nationally, we would begin to see a trend of patients turning to medical cannabis as a substitute or complement to pharmaceuticals," said Giadha Aguirre De Carcer, CEO and Founder, New Frontier Data.

Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) announced yesterday that its majority owned subsidiary, MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. has finalized a business development agreement with Pot Saver, a Southern California-based community periodical providing listings on discounted cannabis-related products for local dispensaries and shops. As per the agreement, MTRAC will provide Pot Saver with fundamental support and guidance needed to execute its go-to-market strategy.

The Company expects that as early as Q4 2017, this agreement will enable MTRAC to generate revenue earnings from service agreements facilitated on behalf of Pot Saver, while providing both companies an opportunity to benefit from rampant market growth.

"With the medical and recreational cannabis industry growing at an unprecedented rate in California, we are determined to be conscious of the multiple opportunities that currently exist, or that we can create for MoneyTrac to further expand its brand throughout the industry as well as tap into every available revenue source possible," said MTRAC COO Vanessa Luna. "This agreement with Pot Saver is an excellent opportunity for us to offer the industry-specific business development expertise we have acquired to help further Pot Saver's go-to-market strategy, while simultaneously creating a new source of revenue for our company as we continue to expand our own brand throughout the industry."

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. (OTCQB: OWCP) and mediq Innovation Partners (mediq) announced earlier this year an agreement for the introduction of OWCP's active cannabinoid-based topical psoriasis cream to the German market.

Mediq's objectives for OWCP will consist of both scientific collaboration and most importantly the development of a commercial market for OWCP's proprietary, active cannabinoid-based topical psoriasis cream in Germany.

Commenting on the collaboration with OWCP, Jan Wende, managing director of mediq stated, "We're looking forward to initiating our efforts on behalf of OWCP in Europe, starting in our home market of Germany. Since German laws and regulations allow non-smokable forms of medical cannabis, we believe that OWCP's proprietary cannabinoid-based topical psoriasis cream is the right product at the right time."
