Vitamin Blue Enters 46 Billion Dollar US Medical Marijuana Market

Vitamin Blue Inc. (OTCQB: VTMB) recently announced its new business
plan that calls for acquisitions and growth in the Hemp/Organic
clothing industry. In addition to its current operations and
shifted direction, the Company is in current talks to do a joint
venture with local medical marijuana dispensaries.
Based on extrapolations of Washington State's Office of
Financial Management, estimates that the total US marijuana
marketplace could be as big as $46.42 billion per year if cannabis
were legalized nationally. This does not include ancillaries such
as hydroponics or paraphernalia, or services to the dispensary
industry such as landlords, testing labs, security systems,
insurance, and advertising.
The legalization of medical marijuana in several states has
paved the way for a budding edible medical marijuana industry and
the Company is expanding into this exploding new marketplace of
medical marijuana and cannabis edibles.
Medical marijuana edibles have been popular ever since the 60s,
when people would prepare it in the oven in brownie and cake mixes
to stimulate the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, marijuana's active
ingredient). Modern medicinal marijuana distributors and retailers
have mastered preparing many different edible products. Now
patients have several ways in which they can take their medication,
in contrast to only being able to smoke or vaporize it.
"We are pleased to make great progress in our recent purchase
order for hemp/organic clothing. Management has decided that with
the recent growth in the edible marijuana market and the
legalization of medical marijuana in various states, this industry
is where we'll want to be and the time is now to take action,"
stated Frank Ornelas, Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, the
due diligence on our planned joint venture in the Medical Marijuana
market are proceeding as planned and we hope to have an
announcement in the near future on this and other initiatives."
