The marijuana industry of the present is vastly different from where it was even six months ago. With so much changing and so quickly, it seems as though at times it may be difficult to keep up with where the industry is headed.

Despite this, it seems as though the companies that grow cannabis continue to be the ones headed for the top of the charts. These businesses are working to find new ways to produce higher yields and better innovative methods of production to help aid the increasing demand of the future of the market.

One of the fastest growing methods of producing quick fiscal results in the cannabis industry has become the entrance of vertically integrated producers. These companies are both able to produce high-quality marijuana due to having complete control over the product, as well as higher margins than most other competitors. Although not all utilize this method, it seems to be working for many companies.

Next Green Wave (NXGWF) (NGW) is one of the preeminent vertical producers of high-quality cannabis-based out of California. Although their headquarters are in Canada, the company has all of their production done in a town known as Coalinga, CA.

This, however, is not a coincidence, as their choice of location centers them between Los Angeles and San Francisco. These two cities are some of the largest local cannabis markets inside the largest statewide market in the nation. All of this just goes to show how much exposure they have to the market as a whole.

The company recently announced that they have entered a new wave of attempting to receive permitting for their latest facilities in Coalinga. Their 35,000 sure foot facility is in the final stages of being tested for use, which should help them to get moving quite quickly. According to a report, they are finishing their final testing phase which will be completed with electrical installation within the next week or so. After that, all they need is an inspection from the city of Coalinga, and then they will be all set to go.

This announcement saw their shares climb upwards of 3% during the trading day on Wednesday, March 20th. Leigh Hughes, CEO of Next Green Wave stated that “after a very focused 11 months of build out, we are now only weeks away from activating our operations in California and one step closer to becoming a fully integrated premium producer.” All in all, Next Green Wave should continue to be watched by investors.

CannTrust (NYSE:CTST) is another grower of cannabis. The company works within the budding medicinal marijuana industry within Canada, but has seen a massive selloff resulting in cheaper than average stock prices. The company was able to list on the New York Stock Exchange not too long ago which is a major benefit to them, but there is still a long way to go.

According to some analysts, the company sees their valuation in the lower area, but their profitability is still very high. As one of the top players in the industry and one of only a few companies on the NYSE, CannTrust is a solid potential watch for anyone looking for value in the cannabis market.

Pursuant to an agreement between an affiliate of MAPH Enterprises, LLC (owners of MarijuanaStocks.com), Midam Ventures LLC and Next Green Wave (NGW), Midam has been paid $150,000 from Next Green Wave (NGW) for a period from October 1, 2018 to November 8, 2018. Midam has been compensated an additional $100,000 and has extended its period of coverage to December 8, 2018. Midam has been compensated an additional $75,000 and has extended its period of coverage to January 8, 2019. Midam has been compensated an additional $50,000 and has extended its period of coverage to February 8, 2019.

The marijuana stock market has seen a lot of shifts over the course of the past year or two. Despite this, it seems as though much of the change that is occurring is highly positive in terms of legislation and the shifting public belief of the substance. The past year or so has seen a major boom in terms of those who support the legal cannabis industry as well as those who are willing to invest in it. Because of this, it appears as though there could be more bullish sentiment filling the market in the coming year.

Next Green Wave (NXGWF) (NGW) is one of the leading vertically integrated producers of high-quality cannabis-based out of the U.S. One of the strategies that they have employed aside from their strategic location is that they do use a completely vertical business model. This model allows for two factors that should intrigue investors.

For one, they are able to have a very large hand in the production of their product which means it can be of the utmost quality. Additionally, they also are able to maintain high margins due to their being no middle man in the way of profits. This combination has brought a large amount of notoriety to Next Green Wave as they strive to reach the top of the industry.

In recent news, Next Green Wave stated that they have reached an agreement to take over SD Cannabis, which is a cannabis brand based out of California. The deal, worth around C$27 million, should help Next Green Wave to delve further into the product market on cannabis. Given that they are also located in California, this seems like a solid strategic plan for the duo. The goal is for this newest acquisition to help raise revenues during the latter half of the 2019 year, as well as drive execution of their distribution and product development in the state.

SD Cannabis currently has as many as 45 THC and CBD products across eight brands which means that Next Green Wave may have a lot to work with. Additionally, they have also stated that they are working on moving forward with their newest 35,000 square foot processing facility, which is just awaiting approval.

Leigh Hughes, CEO of Next Green Wave stated that “this is a very exciting but important time for Next Green Wave as we now enter the execution phase of our wider strategy of being a premium producer of high-quality downstream products.” All in all, Next Green Wave remains an interesting company to keep on the watchlist.

Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON) is quite a familiar name in the cannabis industry thus far. The company has stated that they have shown a 107% return during the 2019 year which has only been around three months at this point. One of the biggest pieces of news which was the introduction of Altria Group (NYSE:MO) into the business, has helped them to get the capital they need to move further into the industry.

The goal is that they will be able to see their share prices increase as this new partnership presents new opportunities for the company. Of course, Cronos Group is simply a solid company to watch given that the rest of the industry is heavily influenced by their leadership status.

Pursuant to an agreement between an affiliate of MAPH Enterprises, LLC (owners of MarijuanaStocks.com), Midam Ventures LLC and Next Green Wave (NGW), Midam has been paid $150,000 from Next Green Wave (NGW) for a period from October 1, 2018 to November 8, 2018. Midam has been compensated an additional $100,000 and has extended its period of coverage to December 8, 2018. Midam has been compensated an additional $75,000 and has extended its period of coverage to January 8, 2019. Midam has been compensated an additional $50,000 and has extended its period of coverage to February 8, 2019. We may buy or sell additional shares of (NGW) in the open market at any time, including before, during or after the Website and Information, to provide public dissemination of favorable Information about Next Green Wave.

The marijuana stock market has been quite dominated by the vertically integrated growers of cannabis. These companies have several factors that differ from traditional companies that make them interesting buys or at least considerations for investors.

Along with being growers of the substance, they also are able to maintain both high-profit margins, as well as a high control over the product that they are putting out into the open market. For these reasons, top-down or vertical cannabis growers seem to be leading the charts during the month of March thus far.

Next Green Wave (NXGWF) (NGW) has quickly become one of the leading producers of vertically integrated craft cannabis. One of the more exciting things about the company is the fact that they are located in the Californian market. Because of this, they have access to one of the largest cannabis industries in the world.

The company is situated in a town known as Coalinga, CA which is around halfway from San Francisco and Los Angeles, two of the largest marijuana markets within the equally large cannabis statewide market. For this reason, it seems as though they would have an easier time working to grow than some other businesses in different locations.

Next Green Wave also made large headlines only a few days ago after the announcement went public of them acquiring the large cannabis producer SD Cannabis. The deal, worth around $27 million should help Next Green Wave to move into the extraction and consumer product market as they continue to traverse the growing cannabis space.

After the news was shared, the company quickly saw their prices shoot up by as much as 10% during intra-day trading. CEO of Next Green Wave, Leigh Hughes, stated that “Not only does this acquisition give us an array of premium brands associated with key world-renowned influencers to penetrate global markets, it also gives us increased distribution with revenues from sales, along with direct to consumer reach, relationships and specialty extraction methods.”

Ryan Lange, the co-founder of SDC stated that “We are excited to join forces with Next Green Wave, which is arguably one of the leading cannabis innovators in California.” All of this news just continues to highlight the excitement being built by cannabis partnerships in the industry.

Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE:SMG) is a company that has quickly become one of the leading businesses within the cannabis market, but also not only in marijuana. Traditionally, they are a horticulture company that provides gardening supplies to individuals. With the advent of the cannabis boom, they have been able to begin producing products as well as acquire certain strategic buys to delve further into the market.

Their subsidiary, Hawthorne Gardening has shown that the cannabis market can be extremely lucrative on the gardening end which is considered to be an ancillary service. All in all, Scotts Miracle-Gro is helping cannabis companies to securely produce their vertically integrated cannabis, as well as operating their own vertical product business.

Pursuant to an agreement between an affiliate of MAPH Enterprises, LLC (owners of MarijuanaStocks.com), Midam Ventures LLC and Next Green Wave (NGW), Midam has been paid $150,000 from Next Green Wave (NGW) for a period from October 1, 2018 to November 8, 2018.

The marijuana stock market is filled with a large amount of companies that grow the pure substance. With that being said, there is a lot of deviation that has led to several different roads cannabis companies can go down. One of the most popular trends that we have seen grow in the industry in recent months has been the advent of premium marijuana growers entering the field.

These companies, which are mostly vertical businesses have been able to find their own niche in the market to put themselves into. The various businesses in this part of the industry are working to continue growing more and more cannabis to fuel the high demand for growth around North America and the world.

Next Green Wave (NXGWF) (NGW) is one of the leading premium cannabis suppliers that has been working to secure themselves as completely vertically integrated. The company is based out of Coalinga, CA which is centered right between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Their location is no mistake and has helped them to build their business in one of the largest marijuana markets in the world.

In terms of vertical integration, it offers Next Green Wave two distinct factors that help to put them at the top. First, vertical integration allows them to have much higher margins than most of the competitors. This is due to the fact that they control every aspect of production and have no middlemen to deal with. Second, they are able to have an extremely large hand in the production process which ensures that they are able to produce some of the highest quality cannabis available.

In recent news, the company won approval for a new facility next to their current one in Coalinga, CA. The facility, which is around 4,000 square feet, will allow them to have a nursery for their plants as well as conduct both non-volatile and volatile extractions. This should help to put them at the top when it comes to producing oils and concentrates made from cannabis. The permits will also help to give them an easier time pushing forward its seed and seedling production for the growth of more and more cannabis. All in all, Next Green Wave remains an important aspect of the vertically integrated cannabis growers.

The Supreme Cannabis Company (NASDAQOTH:SPRWF) is another leading company in terms of premium flower production. Based out of Ontario, they have been working with a new grow facility that will allow for 440,000 square feet of grow space. This facility will also allow them to produce more than 50,000 kilograms of cannabis per year when operating at full capacity.

Their newest products are focused on upping the levels of THC which is the main chemical that gets a user high. This is one of the reasons that they have become so popular among consumers in the past few months. The Supreme Cannabis Company has a lot to look forward to as we contuse to traverse this year in marijuana stocks.

Pursuant to an agreement between an affiliate of MAPH Enterprises, LLC (owners of MarijuanaStocks.com), Midam Ventures LLC and Next Green Wave (NGW), Midam has been paid $150,000 from Next Green Wave (NGW) for a period from October 1, 2018 to November 8, 2018. Midam has been compensated an additional $100,000 and has extended its period of coverage to December 8, 2018. Midam has been compensated an additional $75,000 and has extended its period of coverage to January 8, 2019. Midam has been compensated an additional $50,000 and has extended its period of coverage to February 8, 2019.
