This equipment can be used safely and effectively without any toxic by-products. Used within the medical marijuana sector, companies can enhance the growth of plants as well as control air quality and any unwanted odors.
“Legal marijuana is one of the most rapidly expanding medical markets in the U.S., projected to exceed $3 billion in 2014. This rapid growth is creating significant opportunities and Aquentium is positioned as the first public traded company to offer air and water purification solutions for legalized growers in this burgeoning sector,” added Taggatz.
Cannabis experts believe that the New Farm Bill Green Lights Hemp Cultivation. President Obama’s signing of a five-year, $1 trillion farm bill into law that eases restrictions on hemp. This should be a step in the right direction bysetting a key precedent on a federal level for large-scale cannabis cultivation.The new farm bill will allow universities and state agriculture departments to create industrial hemp growing programs. However, it only applies to states where industrial hemp farming is already legal under state law. These 10 states include Colorado, Washington, California, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont and West Virginia.
