LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Medican Enterprises, Inc. (MDCN), announced the formation of Medican (US) Systems Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary formed to pursue business activities in the Untied States medical marijuana and recreational marijuana sectors.
The new entity, operating out of Las Vegas, NV, will:
- seek investments in commercial real estate which it can lease to marijuana growers in states where growing is legal;
- provide dispensary management and professional consulting services to the medical marijuana and recreational marijuana sectors; and
- offer a broad range of leasing and financing solutions to dispensaries, kitchens and cultivations centers.
Ken Williams, CEO of Medican Enterprises, stated “We are excited to position Medican for a strategic entry into the U.S. marijuana sector and seek to execute on promising opportunities in the United States in the near term. We believe in the present and future of legal marijuana businesses, and thus we will strive to find the best opportunities in this space to build value for our shareholders.”
The legalized marijuana industry in the Untied States is thriving. According to a November 2013 report from ArcView Market Research, the national legal marijuana market in the United States projected to grow from $1.3 billion to $10.2 billion by 2018.
Medican also provided an update on the proposed acquisition by its subsidiary Canaleaf Systems of a majority interest in Canada-based International Herbs Medical Marijuana Ltd. (IHMML), which is pursuing the creation of a 400,000 square foot cultivation facility in Athoville, New Brunswick, subject to approval by Canadian regulatory authorities.
“As previously announced, we were hoping to close on our acquisition of an interest in IHMML by September 30” stated Mr. Williams. “Unfortunately, we have faced structuring and regulatory issues that are making the consummation of this transaction, for both ourselves and our Canadian partners, challenging at this time. We will continue to monitor and explore this opportunity as we believe in its potential, but we must also now turn to address other opportunities, including in the U.S. through the creation of our new subsidiary. We look forward to providing additional updates on our efforts to establish our business in the near future.”
