A new, more efficient way to enter the plant-touching side has come into the
picture. A cannabis business with: 1) established avenues and networks of
production and distribution, 2) hired and managed, experienced employees, 3)
working capital and real estate, 4) cultivation and extraction techniques, 5)
capabilities to expand and scale, 6) A cannabis business with reduced risks and
income due to an established supply chain.
This paper discusses how an innovative business model called "crowdgrowing"
allows new cannabis entrepreneurs to enter the business with less risk and
greater income control. Crowdgrowing gets rid of the usual entry barriers such as
exhaustive procedures for obtaining licenses, cultivation and distribution
expertise, networking, real estate, and finally lush funds needed to achieve all of
the aforementioned goals.
In the following pages we take a look at how crowdgrowing works; why it works; the
limits of crowdgrowing compared to not crowdgrowing; the steps to take; and an
example of how cannabis entrepreneurs benefit from it.
True, crowdgrowing is not a typical cannabis business in the traditional sense, but
by leveraging established global cannabis production networks, crowdgrowing
offers the benefits of plant-touching business with much less risk.

How does
“Crowd Growing” work?
more and more people are interested in becoming a part of the cannabis
growing industry by partnering with cannabis cultivators.
In the cultivation and distribution of cannabis, the business must first deal with
the process of obtaining all the required licenses to operate on the legal market.
As mentioned before, licenses are expensive and alongside legal and
compliance requirements place restrictions on these cultivation and distribution
channels. In the U.S. a license to cultivate can cost anywhere from $1200 to an
astounding $44,517 for small to medium sized businesses. These costs are
prohibitive to many starting a grow operation. In addition to licenses the cannabis
business must acquire capital funding and real estate to produce the plant in
wholesale quantities.
How do the
partners and
subsidiaries benefit?
Partnership and subsidiary cannabis producers receive a direct benefit from
crowdgrowing - they receive funds for more rapid expansion and to lower costs.
The combined effect is making e-crowdgrower or simply put, e-grower,
operations competitive in the cannabis export marketplace.
Funds from the plant purchase are dispersed to a cannabis business partner for
expansion of grow facilities, project development, marketing, testing, and other
necessary expenses. While the e-grower observes all the phases of the plant to
complete and waits for his profit, partners are expanding the operation to make
the end-product less expensive, higher-quality, and more desirable as an export.
It's a win for the consumer of cannabis, a win for the partners, and a win for the
e-grower.
• E-growers receive their first profit in as little as 108 days after the funds are
received and the plant clones are getting planted.
Legalization
In 2015, a report from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), stated
that drug use, when not injuring others, should not be illegal in the EU. While
there are 37 million people in Canada and 327 million in the United States, the
European Union is home to almost 743 million.

Luxemburg is close to joining them anytime now. There are talks of even more
$31.6 billion by 2021 favorable EU legislation for recreational cannabis also, and when this happens, we
can expect an explosion of growth in the entire industry.

Now, demand for high-quality cannabis in Europe is high. To satisfy the demand a
few European countries have developed export markets for medicinal marijuana.
While the laws catch up to the overwhelming medical need for cannabis
cultivation and distribution, the EU council supports the World Health
Organization in the reclassification of cannabis from criminal to useful for
medicinal purposes, according to www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com
Europe is becoming the new frontier for medical and wellness cannabis.
The Brightfield Group predicts a 400% increase in the European
non-psychoactive cannabis market (including vaping liquid) from $318m in 2019
to $1.7 billion by 2023.
There is also an expansion into applications for non-psychoactive
cannabis-based pet products.
While these environmental conditions have always been present, the legal
landscape is catching up to match the export requirements in the European
countries that are accepting cannabis from foreign soil.
Colombia, a nation with a past rooted in the notoriety of illegal drug trafficking, is
taking the opportunity to use its nutrient-rich soil and land to operate legitimately
on the international playing field. According to the Washington Post "...[Colombia]
passed a landmark law legalizing medical marijuana for both domestic use and
export, laying the groundwork for the export market. The standards are a step
towards Colombia's mission to become the number one grower and exporter of
cannabis worldwide.”
In Africa, a few countries have the right climate and legal landscape to be strong
competition for Colombian growers and exporters. South Africa is one such
country which has approved medicinal cannabis for growth and export. Like
Colombia, the cost of labor and the right climate facilitate the production of
high-quality wholesale cannabis inexpensively.
Despite the United States still closing its export market to cannabis, "Germany,
Italy, Peru, are seen as fast-developing export markets". As more countries allow
medical marijuana coming from growing operations in Colombia, South Africa, and
other countries where production occurs legally, they will need to increase their
output to satisfy the global demand for medicinal and recreational cannabis.
Why crowdgrowing and investing are different
When an investor purchases a share of a company or fund, the investor hopes the
price of the share goes up. Valuation is based on several factors such as:
company management, the general financial conditions, the industry conditions,
the financial analysts reports, other investors, and more. The value of the share
price is based on future value estimations. In a new industry where the rules of the
game are being changed, the fluctuation in prices changes quickly due to the
overall uncertainty of the industry.

How it works?
Simply select the category of cannabis plant you want to grow, the amount you
want to have, and our partners' growing experts will cultivate in their greenhouses.
You can start taking a profit in as little as 108 days.
From the Clone shop menu, you have many options to select which kind of
cannabis plant you would like to grow. We offer your 4 types of Cannabis
categories, named; JuicyFlash, JuicyMist, JuicyKush, and JuicyHaze, that will give
you different profits depending on the weight and quantity of the harvests. Thanks
to the experience of our partners and favorable climatic conditions, their plants will
be harvested 2-4 times a year, depending on the different categories.
The names of the plant categories are a set of parameters that satisfy real
certified varieties that our local partner has the right to grow. By purchasing a plant
category, the e-grower gets not only the plant itself, but also the prepared growing
area and work hours.
The Growth period is 108 days. Profitability is the total amount returned
minus the costs. In this case we need to subtract the €50 cost from this
total, making the profit figures between 17,5€ and 32,5€.
Our other 3 categories have a fixed price of €2,000 regardless of the duration of the contract.
Juicy Mist
These are approximate figures, since harvests may vary from batch to batch.
If you are looking to cash out on your profits every 3 months, this is a plan for
you. JuicyMist is the strain with the fastest flowering period that we have.
Harvests are a little less dense compared to JuicyKush or JuicyHaze, but are
more frequent.

For maximum potential, we have a very special strain category with amazing
yields. Only two harvests a year but look at the figures:

The strictest international standards are utilized throughout the production and
distribution processes, which are enhanced by usage of Blockchain technology to
ensure compliance with all import, export and distribution regulations and channels.
FCM production facilities located in Antioquia and Tolima follow GAP and GMP
practices. The 22185.246 square meters FCM Antioquia facility is purpose-built for
medical cannabis and the Tolima facility is an extended production facility which
covers 474 hectares and will ultimately generate more than 2,300 jobs and 1,000+
tons of cannabis oil per year at full capacity. This will provide customers with the best
and most consistent quality products with lower production cost at large scale.
More recently Thomas has established and provided training programs aimed at
commercial customers in Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador and Costa Rica. Thomas also
provides cultivation training to groups of beginners who are just starting their
cannabis cultivation journey.
A platform that helps people to grow legal cannabis. A platform for people
like you and me. People who want to grow medical cannabis but dont have
the knowledge or perhaps funds required to enter. People who understand
that cannabis helps others in so many ways. We needed to build a platform
that allows everyone to grow cannabis without the need to touch a plant
and achieve their business dreams.
