The Cultivation and Retail Sector comprises of companies that specialize in growing and selling cannabis flowers and related products. Since this involves acquiring various licenses from the relevant government agencies, this sector is dominated by Canadian Producers who already have such licenses from the Canadian Federal Government and are authorized to grow and sell marijuana. Whereas in the US, the scenario is a bit different due to the uncertain legal environment, this is the reason most of the cultivators and retails in the US prefer to enter the OTC public market. Companies that fall in the Cultivation & Retail Sector are highly sensitive to the federal, state, and local cannabis regulations.
