Pure Extracts Begins Trading on the CSE

Cannabis extracts are projected to become a $28.5 billion market by 2027, according to Grand View Market Research, representing a 16.6% compound annual growth rate. As consumers transition from cannabis flower to oils, tinctures, edibles, topicals and other products, cannabis extraction companies are playing a key role in the next stage of the industry’s expansion.
