Alternative Fuels Americas, Inc. (AFAI) announced today that it has formed a subsidiary, Marijuana Holdings Americas, Inc. to serve as the foundation for the company’s entry into the rapidly growing medical and recently legalized recreational marijuana markets that are emerging in the United States.

“We have always been drawn to early stage changes in sectors that greatly affect the status quo, and from which value can be created. This is consistent with our worldview and offers our shareholders an opportunity to benefit from yet another rapidly changing environment”, stated CEO Craig Frank. “What is transpiring with state-sanctioned legal medical and recreational marijuana is a classic case of an emerging market.”

“We have begun the process of evaluating the application process for medical marijuana and recreational licenses, which are now available in one form or another in 20 states and Washington, D.C. with more states indicating that they will follow suit. Our plan is to leverage our agricultural and business expertise to launch new licensed facilities to grow and distribute, as well as evaluate acquisitions of existing operations and peripheral business opportunities. All our activities will be strictly in accordance with State/Local Laws and currently stated Federal Enforcement Policies and Priorities, as well as the advice and review of counsel. We believe these developments demonstrate the emergence of a new industry with tremendous potential.”

“The roll out of recreational marijuana sales in Colorado since January 1st has been an overwhelming success, with Washington State set to follow their lead,” continued Frank.  “According to Bloomberg Finance, Washington State expects to plug a budget shortfall of $900 million for 2013-2015 with anticipated tax revenue of up to $2 Billion over the next 5 years solely through taxation on legal sales of marijuana. We believe other cash-strapped states will take note and permit the sector to further grow. We recognize risk here, but the dollar amounts are compelling, and we believe the potential leveraged returns for investors, if we are successful, could be extremely rewarding.”
