Bayport International Holdings, Inc. ($BAYP): An Emerging Powerhouse in Cannabis Tech Industry
Cannabis’s exponential growth appears to be unstoppable, as the emerging industry continues to see strong sales growth and widespread support for recreational legalization. Once the federal government takes cannabis off Schedule I or even legalizes it for recreational use, the U.S. cannabis industry will explode to the likes of the alcohol industry shortly after prohibition was repealed.
According to Statista, the combined U.S. recreational and medical cannabis markets are forecast to grow from $6.7 billion in 2017 to $37.3 billion in 2024. While most consumers, cannabis enthusiasts, and entrepreneurs are trying to cash in on the legalization of the physical plant, cannabis technology stands to be the major winner over the long-term.

From lab testing to digital media content, cannabis technology offers a wide array of application possibilities. Even cannabis growers and cultivators will need cannabis technology in order to stay ahead of the competition. Technology is a major driving force of growth across all industries and businesses and cannabis is no different.
One cannabis technology company that stands to be a leader within the emerging industry is Bayport International Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: BAYP).
Overview: Bayport International Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: BAYP):
Bayport International Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: BAYP) operates as a diversified holding company, which primarily focuses on oil & gas, precious metals, and cannabis technology. For most of its existence, the company has primarily focused on oil & gas and precious metals. However, with oil & gas prices under pressure over the last several years, the company decided in late 2016 to shift its focus primarily to the red-hot cannabis technology industry.
Bayport International Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: BAYP)’s main cannabis technology holding is Weedwiser.com, which is a national cannabis business directory and digital community. Rather than only having only cannabis deliveries and dispensaries within the directory, Weedwiser will also feature cultivation companies and other cannabis vendors. Furthermore, Weedwiser offers cannabis-related articles, content, events, and job listings to further educate and keep the cannabis community up to date on the latest information.
In a sense, Weedwiser will be a more expansive and diverse version of WeedMaps, which is a popular cannabis delivery and dispensary directory. WeedMaps’s focus is primarily on cannabis consumers, rather than consumers and entrepreneurs. Ultimately, Weedwiser takes a more in-depth approach than WeedMaps to appeal to a wider range of cannabis enthusiasts. Weedwiser is currently in “beta” and will continue to be further developed.
