Although a general downtrend for stock prices has taken hold in the cannabis sector, it would be naive to think that cannabis is going away. The political uncertainty resulting from the unfriendly rhetoric coming from Trump administration officials about federal law enforcement is causing some setbacks for cannabis related businesses. But setbacks are temporary, political rhetoric rarely results in direct action, and neither is having any effect on the demand for cannabis products. For those businesses that remain standing, “good thing will come.” mCig Inc (OTCMKTS:MCIG) is one of many cannabis companies that is well positioned to endure the “shake out.”Headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, mCig, Inc. is a diversified holdings company for various subsidiaries, focusing on technology and consulting, grow construction and cultivation, biotech, vaporizers, dispensary supplies, payment processing, and more.
