As discussed above, AGTK products will now be featured on WeedMaps, which could grant a strong competitive advantage. The stock seems in need of a new catalyst to spark another run, and maybe this will provide that boost. As we see it, this type of news, when hitting an OTC name, necessitates some follow-up to confirm the impact. This is obviously a huge boost if extrapolated in the most potent manner. But that entails a “benefit of the doubt” attitude, which is extremely rare in this market milieu.
The featured items, as noted above, are its new Microdose Strips and California Premiums. The former are apparently “a discreet, dose controlled, evaporating oral strip which offer a unique and smoke-free alternative to patients initially residing and holding medical recommendations in California. The medicated oral strips will be distributed to dispensaries and sold in a single pack and eventually multi-packs. Doses for one oral strip will consist of 10mg and 50mg strips, and are manufactured through a consistent organic sun growth cannabis base. The strip is utilized by being placed under the tongue or between the cheek and gum of the mouth with the strip dissolving directly into the bloodstream.”
The latter represent a “premium pre-roll brand licensed exclusively by Agritek Holdings now available on WeedMaps, with delivery to dispensaries in select locations this month.”
“We are extremely pleased to begin the distribution of our branded products through this partnership with WeedMaps, the most respected and widely known cannabis information and technology site in the industry. Our Microdose Strips and California Premiums products can now be requested and searched for by patients and dispensaries alike. We look forward to making these licensed brands recognized names and highly requested products throughout California over the next several months,” stated B. Michael Friedman, CEO.
