The Cannabis Industry - A Blooming Business

There has been huge controversy over recent years with regards to the legalization of cannabis and will be for the foreseeable future. With the prodigious public movement in certain countries such as the USA, Spain and more recently Canada, cannabis production and consumption is becoming more accepted worldwide. We all constantly see new stories about how cannabis helps fight cancerous cells and how it helps with many other conditions and diseases.

In the U.S alone the legal cannabis industry generated over 9 billion U.S dollars revenue, which undoubtedly has started setting trends and causing many eyebrows to raise. Let’s not forget that not all the states have legalized cannabis fully for both medicinal and recreational use but that will soon change. Canada have taken a bold but wise step and plan to legalize cannabis for recreational use in summer 2018. I can almost guarantee that other countries will be following in their footsteps.

Cannabis is illegal in many other countries but some have exceptions such as Holland, it is decriminalized for personal use and can be sold for consumption in coffee shops. In Spain, it’s decriminalized for personal use and cultivation within private homes. As more countries jump on this band wagon, I think we will start to see a huge pattern start to emerge and cannabis consumption and production will increase around the globe.

Smoking cannabis can be an expensive habit, the product itself being costly and all the paraphernalia that is needed. It can also be considered a hindrance when trying to find a suitable strain and strength, especially if you’re a cannabis connoisseur. You always find that some people are a little more secretive than others when it comes to consumption. All these factors somewhat encourage people to grow their own, although not everybody has the knowledge or the spare capacity.

ATF Farms are holding an ICO event for crowdfunding, this will allow them to achieve their goals of producing the appliances and begin to distribute them mainly in the U.S and Canada. Entirely because the cannabis industry is one of the most rapid growing niches in these countries.

The ATF Token

This will be the first token that lets the blockchain community have access to their automated growing appliances and technology. ATF tokens will be listed on the leading cryptocurrency exchanges and repurchased by the issuer from the market. The number of tokens repurchased will be at least 35 % of profits for each year. ATF will not announce when they repurchase the tokens to ensure the price isn’t significantly effected, but the number of tokens in their account will be visible on the public blockchain.

During the token sale, a minimum funding of 1,300,000 USD is expected. The raised funds will be used for production in Canada and to set up a professional marketing campaign. Any funds raised above this minimum figure will be used for increase in production and market research. Once the funds gave been raised ATF plan to attain a plot of land and build their own production line in Canada. This will mean the distribution of the ATF Home Growers will be much quicker and more efficient, sales will then start in Canada and sales in the US will follow.
