MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary 

There is a growing speculation and excitement building in the Cannabis industry of late as many are seeking any level of validation of the massive global potential of the cannabis industry as legalization looms in Canada. Validation seems to be more and more apparent as it was reported by BNNBloomberg.com recently that New Age Beverages Corp., which surged as much as 45% on September 5th merely for saying it tested a cannabis-infused beverage in Colorado at the Liolios Gateway Conference in San Francisco. Also it was reported by Bloomberg.com that Coca-Cola said it's monitoring the nascent industry and is interested in drinks infused with CBD -- the non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that treats pain but doesn't get you high. However Coke downplayed the speculation this week but did indicate "we are closely watching the growth of non-psychoactive CBD as an ingredient in functional wellness beverages around the world. The space is evolving quickly. No decisions have been made at this time."  This could be a great indication of things to come all while companies are already looking to the next phase of the Cannabis industry such as edibles and other THC-infused products and drinks.  Active companies in the markets today include:  The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (TSX-V:WTER) (OTC :WTER ), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (OTC :ACBFF ) (TSX :ACB ), Hexo Corp.
