CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 12, 2019 / Running in tandem with the rise of the marijuana stock market has been cannabis companies producing products containing cannabidiol, or CBD. CBD contains none of the psychotropic elements of cannabis despite coming from the same plant, and CBD has become known as an incredible medicinal pain reliever for post-workout regimens because of its abilities as an anti-inflammatory. Following the passing of the U.S. Farm Bill, which was enacted several months ago, cannabis companies have increased production on the production and sales of industrial hemp because manufacturers can utilize hemp-derived CBD to use for creams, tinctures, and balms. ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG), Choom Holdings Inc (OTCQB: CHOOF) (CSNX: CHOO), Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc (OTCQX: EMHTF), and Canopy Growth Corp (NYSE: CGC) represent 4 marijuana stocks on the rise on Tuesday.
ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG) is a technology-driven logistics company purposed with connecting consumers to the goods they love. The Company's executive leadership recognized a problem: people simply don't have the time to take out of their day to go shopping. What began as a creative solution has since evolved into a massively successful on-demand marketplace where ParcelPal customers can purchase whatever they need and have their orders delivered within the hour.
As we've seen over the course of the last few months, public interest in cannabis-related products has increased. ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG) predicted this would occur, and back in September 2018, the Company announced that they had signed an agreement for cannabis distribution with Vancouver-based Choom Holdings, Inc, Canada's leading cannabis retailer.
In recent news, ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG) last month announced that Brian Storseth had joined the Company as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Prior to joining the ParcelPal team, Mr. Storseth was a Member of Parliament for the electoral district of Westlock-St Paul for the Conservative Party of Canada for 9 years from 2006-2015. During his tenure as an MP, he served on committees for Aboriginal Affairs, Agriculture and Agri-food Canada.
Following the announcement, Kelly Abbot, President, and CEO of ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG) , said, "Brian is an incredibly accomplished business leader and policy expert, having spent 9 years in Ottawa in the House of Commons. He is intimately familiar with ParcelPal's business, our plans for future expansion and will be an invaluable asset moving forward as we navigate multiple opportunities across various Government entities, namely within the Ontario market. We are excited to leverage his network, experience, and leadership to assist with our national expansion plans."
