Karma Care Media
The Opportunity
Create an international media company
focused on the healing powers of
cannabis. The Company is devoted to
bringing vendors, physicians, and patients
together in a content rich information
ecosystem using video productions to
promote branded products, disseminate
reliable information, and incentivize patients
with a membership rewards plan.
Legal use of cannabis products
is growing rapidly, consumers
are seeking medical and
scientific information about
cannabis, and they desire
branded products.
People in North America spent $53.3
billion on legal, medical, and illicit
marijuana in 2016. That's more cash
than Americans spend in a year at
McDonald's and Starbucks
combined.
The North American legal cannabis
market posted $6.7 billion in
revenue in 2016, up 30% from the
year before. The illicit market
generated 87% of total pot sales,
down from 90% in 2015.
ArcView projects legal sales will grow
at a compound annual growth rate of
26% through 2021, when the North
American market is expected to
reach $21.6 billion.
