AnythingIT Inc. Eyeing Legal Marijuana Industry with Focus on Employment & Staffing Opportunities
Growing Marijuana Industry Gives High Hopes to Job Seekers
FAIR LAWN, Mar 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- - AnythingIT ANYI, announced today the company is exploring entry into the legal Marijuana industry with an emphasis on supporting the underserved employment & staffing opportunities that are in demand. Over the near-term, AnythingIT plans to announce a series of changes to our company designed to give the company a better ability to make strategic acquisitions, and enhance shareholder value.
The company is currently exploring several opportunities including potential mergers, acquisitions, as well introductions of its own product line or services directly related to the legal cannabis industry.
Currently 20 states including the District of Columbia have approved Medical Marijuana and more are expected to follow. Industry pundits predict the current trend will accelerate and that the regulated domestic cannabis industry will grow from its current $1.5 Billion Market to over $20 Billion by 2019.
"We have been a green company for 21 years," stated COO Vlad Stelmak. "In 1992 we were one of the first companies to enter the IT asset recycling industry. Just as we were pioneers entering into that marketplace, we now see an even greater opportunity in the future in the budding legal cannabis industry."
"It is our feeling with this additional course we may gain access to markets as needed to build upon the company growth plan and we believe those plans and opportunities are significant," stated CEO David Bernstein. "We plan to look towards the state of Colorado as the model of the regulated Marijuana industry and hope to capitalize on this unique opportunity for our shareholders."
As the industry bellwether, Colorado voters first approved to legalize medical marijuana in 2000 and in January 2014, being the first state to include sales of Marijuana for adult's recreational use. Revenues of marijuana are expected to exceed $600 million this year in Colorado total.
