TRTC stock is up in early morning trade Friday. Why? It has to do with the cannabis company announcing the start of cannabis sales to San Leandro, California's adult use market.
Here's what we know.
TRTC Stock Reacts to Cannabis Sales News
On May 3, Terra Tech Corporation (OTCQX:TRTC) announced the start of cannabis sales to the adult use market at the Blüm San Leandro cannabis dispensary.
Back in March, the San Leandro City Council approved adult use sales, giving it a start date of May 1, 2019. The Council then conducted a review, and granted TRTC the provisional adult and medical license yesterday, May 2, 2019. According to Yahoo Finance, the Council approved three facilities, but Terra Tech currently only operates the Blüm San Leandro dispensary. The license will last one year.
Since the Blüm San Leandro cannabis dispensary opened in January 2019, there has been significant foot traffic. However, adult users have been turned away because of restriction sales. With this provisional license granting cannabis sales to the adult use market, Terra Tech can start benefitting from this traffic.

Actual Figures
