On Feb. 26, 2014, Advanced Cannabis Solutions (OTCQB: CANN) stock volume continued to soar with 931,764 shares changing hands, more than 8 times its three-month average volume of 115,995 shares.
In addition, CANN's share price closed at $32.50, up $12.45, or 62.09 %, from its closing price of $20.05 the previous day.
The Colorado Springs, Colo-based company that leases growing space and related facilities to licensed marijuana business operators has seen its share value nudging upward over the last month.
Good News Reaches Critical Mass
The upward trend, which reached critical mass Feb. 26, is being fueled by a spate of positive news coming from the company.
On Feb. 20, Advanced Cannabis Solutions said it has signed an agreement to provide comprehensive consulting services to a significant investor group in Canada. This group is involved in the start-up and operation of a large cannabis production operation serving the Canadian medical marijuana marketplace. The contract has a minimum duration of six months and a potential value in the low six figures.
In addition, the company that is headquartered in the middle of one of the first, vibrant legal-marijuana marketplaces in the country has recently been approved for a major line of credit.
These two elements are essential for Advanced Cannabis Solutions to be able to build and equip the facilities it wants to rent to cannabis growers.
In Colorado alone, the medical marijuana market is estimated to be $350 million in size while the legalization of recreational marijuana could expand that figure to over $500 million in 2014 by some accounts. These figures are significantly larger throughout the United States. Some analysts estimate the total market at between $10 billion and $120 billion per year in size, depending on the success of various legalization efforts and the components included in the estimates.
New 30-Million Credit Line
On Jan. 21, Advanced Cannabis Solutions announced that it had established a $30-million credit line.
According to a release, Advanced Cannabis Solutions signed a definitive agreement with Full Circle Capital Corp., a closed-end investment company. The agreement provides that the investment fund will initially provide $7.5 million to the company in the form of Senior Secured Convertible Notes, subject to certain conditions. An additional $22.5 million can be borrowed by Company with the mutual agreement of the company and the investment company.
At least 95% of the loan proceeds will be used to acquire properties, which the company consistent with its business plan, will lease to licensed cannabis growers.
"The six-year loan will be secured by real estate acquired with the loan proceeds, and will require interest-only payments at a rate of 12% per year," the release explained, outlining the agreement.

The assets purchase will include all micro-market operations and assets belonging to CRS including, but not limited to, all micro-market locations, inventories, accounts receivable, software, systems and intellectual property.
Upon closing of this proposed purchase, Fresh Healthy Vending plans to rapidly increase the number of company-owned micro-markets in the San Diego area. Additionally, the “company expects to begin offering the integrated micro-market platform to all existing and prospective franchisees.
Fresh Healthy Vending executives describe the soon to be Fresh Micro-Market as "a mini whole foods for the office break room.” A micro-market is an unstaffed, self-checkout, mini food store that integrates seamlessly into an office space.
Free to businesses that meet minimum qualifications, micro-markets are a great option for workplaces that want to

Growlife – Stead As She Goes
On Feb. 26, Growlife Inc. (OTCBB: PHOT) continued to enjoy a robust stock volume with 38,909,110 changing hands.
The steady uptick in volume began when the Woodland Hills, Calif. holding company that supplies equipment for legal marijuana growers announced on Feb. 7, 2014 that a majority of its stockholders preliminarily approved a provision that would allow the company to increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock from 1 billion to 3 billion.
