Terra Tech Corp (OTCMKTS:TRTC) Leading The Nevada Recreational Cannabis Party

Like many other stocks in the cannabis sector, Terra Tech Corp (OTCMKTS:TRTC) has been on a downtrend lately. However, July 1^st, marks the first day that the new marijuana laws go into effect, making the recreational use of marijuana in the State of Nevada legal. This event is causing the stock to show signs of a reversal. On June 30, 2017, the stock gapped up on the open from $.1744 to $.1812, and traded up to an intraday high for the day of $.1950, on higher than average volume. On the next trading on July 3^rd, (date of this article), the stock gapped up again on the open from $.1788 to $.2145, and traded up to an intraday high for the day of $.2560, with much higher than average volume. The stock closed at $.2395. The trading day after the 4^th of July holiday should prove to be interesting.

In May 2017, Nevada's Tax Commission approved temporary regulations to allow an "early start" for adult-use cannabis sales to commence July 1, 2017. This early rollout makes Nevada the fifth state with an operational adult-use market and the first to launch since last November's election. The state's adult-use cannabis program is projected to generate more than $70 million for the state over the first two years, according to data from the Las Vegas review Journal. Terra Tech Corp. was able to take advantage of the July 1^st event in Nevada.For the benefit of those readers that are not familiar with the Company, Terra Tech Corp. operates through multiple subsidiary businesses including: Blüm, IVXX Inc., Edible Garden, and MediFarm LLC. Blüm's retail and medical cannabis facilities provide the highest quality medical cannabis to patients who are looking for alternative treatments for their chronic medical conditions as well as premium cannabis to the adult-use market in Nevada. Blüm offers a broad selection of cannabis products including; flowers, concentrates and edibles through its Oakland, CA and multiple Nevada locations.
