GTSO Plans Launch into Booming U.S. Cannabis Industry

In a bold new direction for the company, Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: GTSO) announced today that it is exploring entry into the fast-growing, multi-billion-dollar cannabis industry in the U.S.

GTSO is considering the move because cannabis is one of the top growth industries in the nation. U.S. retail cannabis sales will rise more than five-fold over the next five years, from an estimated $2.2-$2.6 billion this year to as high as $8.2 billion in 2018, according to financial data released in the 2014 edition of the Marijuana Business Factbook. And the market for ancillary businesses and services is growing right alongside the market for the herb.

With medical and recreational cannabis now available for sale in 23 states and counting, the demand for top-quality business service from this industry has exploded. Large corporations have stayed out of this industry for a variety of reasons, opening huge opportunities for smaller organizations such as GTSO. Many experts agree that it is the dawn of a major new industry in the U.S., and GTSO could be in a position to capitalize.

In the coming weeks, GTSO will explore the creation of a cannabis subsidiary to develop new business plans to capitalize on the cannabis boom.

Green Technology Solutions, Inc., plans to introduce new products and services that will allow it to compete in a growing marketplace alongside Cannabis Sativa Inc. (OTCBB: CBDS), Terra Tech Corp. (OTCBB: TRTC), Agritek Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: AGTK), Medbox Inc. (OTCBB: MDBX) and more.
