(SING) is building an acquisition-based cannabis business focused on high-potential targets that service the cannabis industry rather than those that deal directly with…

Singlepoint, Inc. (SING) Helping Cannabis Businesses Accept Transactions in a Secure and Legal Way

Despite a total of 28 states having now legalized marijuana in some form, the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration still classifies cannabis as a Schedule 1 substance, alongside heroin and LSD. With this mind, it has been hard for the banking industry to support legal marijuana businesses. Because such businesses have fewer options in opening bank accounts with national banks, they are pressured to accept cash payments, making them vulnerable to all of the issues associated with operating a cash business. Cash transactions make cannabis businesses prime targets for theft and break-ins, not to mention the gap left open for certain…

(MCIG), General Cannabis Corp. (CANN) and Cannabics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CNBX), Israel is reportedly making strides toward allowing the export of medical marijuana, according to Reuters (1). The Israelis are widely regarded as leaders in medical marijuana research. However, the local market is small, estimated at $20 million, tops.

Removing marijuana from the federal list of Schedule I drugs would be a major step forward for the industry, with massive implications and benefits trickling through to reach cannabis-related product…
