CannabisNewsBreaks – Barron’s Article Highlights Huge Upside Potential of Cannabis Stocks

August 30, 2018 11:28:33

A recent Barron’s article by Steve Garmhausen, titled ‘Pot Stocks Can’t Be Ignored’, puts a spotlight on the strong performance of marijuana stocks through the first three-quarters of 2018. As the article notes, “Marijuana stocks have been an investor darling this year, with even hedge fund billionaire Leon Cooperman betting his own money in the sector.” The most recent buying frenzy in the space came on the heels of a late-August report that alcoholic beverage giant Diageo (NYSE: DEO) was in talks to invest in or partner with at least three Canadian cannabis companies. Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY), one of the largest and most sophisticated producers of premium medical cannabis in the world, saw its shares skyrocket from $17 at its July IPO to a high of more than $62 earlier this week. Likewise, Cronos (NASDAQ: CRON), which commenced trading on the Nasdaq in February, rose from a mid-August low of $5.65 to a 52-week high of $12.89 in the wake of the Diageo news. “This is like bitcoin levels, the kind of move Tilray is making,” cannabis investor Jason Spatafora told MarketWatch. “The market is completely irrational.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – The Flowr Corp. Partners with Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG) Subsidiary to Conduct Cannabis Testing

August 27, 2018 09:40:20

The Flowr Corp., a Canadian licensed producer that focuses primarily on premium flower production, was recently highlighted in a Bloomberg article titled, “Scotts Miracle-Gro Tests Whether It Can Make Pot Grow Too,” authored by Kristine Owram. Per the article, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company’s (NYSE: SMG) subsidiary, Hawthorne Gardening Co., is partnering up with Flowr to build a 50,000-square-foot research facility on the same site as Flowr’s grow-op in Kelowna, British Columbia. Firstly, the new lab will test Hawthorne’s lights and nutrients on cannabis, with plans to ultimately conduct more in-depth studies on the plant.

Currently producing 250 grams a square foot at its grow-op, Flowr seeks to nearly double that number to produce some of the highest crop yields in the industry, targeting an ultimate yield of 450 grams. The company has already inked supply agreements with the Ontario and B.C. governments ahead of legalization and has secured a distribution agreement to sell medical marijuana in Germany next year. Presently, the company’s seasoned executives are eyeing opportunities in the Caribbean and South America. The president and co-founder of Flowr, Tom Flow, was also the co-founder of MedReleaf Corp., a company recently acquired by Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (OTCQB: ACBFF) for roughly $2.2 billion in stock. Flow also brought several of the MedReleaf team members to Flowr, which is set to list on the TSX Venture Exchange next month via a reverse takeover.

About The Flowr Corp.

With a sense of craftsmanship and a spirit of innovation, Flowr is also well positioned with a line of premium quality cannabis products for the upcoming adult-use market. Flowr recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to supply premium cannabis to the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Board which will be the sole retailer of non-medicinal cannabis in the province following the October 17 legalization of adult recreational consumption. The company announced earlier in the year that it had been selected by the Hawthorne Canada subsidiary of The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company for an exclusive strategic R&D alliance. Flowr also has announced its intention to list shares on the TSX Ventures Exchange. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.flowrco.ca.

CannabisNewsAudio – Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) Poised to Benefit by Potential Changes in Hemp Legislation

August 24, 2018 11:14:24

Related Editorial
The hemp industry is growing in North America and appears to be set for further expansion thanks to legislation making its way through the U.S. Senate.

  • Hemp is a cultivar of the cannabis sativa plant that lacks the active drug ingredient that makes marijuana users high.
  • It can be used to produce medicinal CBD oil as well as fibers for rope, paper and canvas.
  • Even in difficult growing conditions, hemp can provide higher profits than many other crops.
  • It has a lower environmental impact thanks to low water consumption and little need for chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile) has hemp already growing at cultivation sites in Canada and the United States, experimenting with improved strains and cultivation techniques. As a provider of hydroponic equipment, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG) is benefiting from the growing cannabis industry and will likely see increased sales thanks to a recent acquisition. Another provider of hydroponics, GrowGeneration Corporation (OTC: GRWG), has already seen a dramatic increase in sales thanks to acquisitions and the rise of cannabis. Micron Waste Technologies, Inc. (OTC: MICWF) (CSE: MWM) is launching specialist waste treatment equipment for cannabis growers. And as federal hemp legislation comes closer to passage, Future Farm Technologies (OTC: FFRMF) (CSE: FFT) is producing millions of hemp seeds ready to be planted by farmers in Maine.

CannabisNewsAudio – Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) Determined to Secure its Share of the Growing Global Hemp Market

August 10, 2018 12:43:09

Related Editorial
In a landmark announcement, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved a drug derived from pure cannabidiol (CBD), Epidiolex, to treat seizures associated with certain forms of severe epilepsy, setting the stage for huge changes in the world of cannabidiol (CBD).

  • FDA approval of a cannabis-based drug represents seismic political, legal and economic shifts
  • Approval likely will lead to more clinical research and further validation of CBD therapeutic efficacy
  • CBD market projected to explode to more than $2 billion in two years with 39 percent CAGR

What’s most transformative about this drug approval is that this is the first time the FDA — the governmental arbiter of safe and effective medicine in the United States — has approved any substance derived from the cannabis sativa plant and validated certain therapeutic benefits of cannabidiol. The FDA is, to some extent, endorsing what has been anecdotally accepted by the masses for millennia.

Drug delivery platform innovator Lexaria Bioscience (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) this morning announced that within minutes after dosing in an animal in vivo study, it has successfully delivered nicotine in an edible form into blood plasma. Per the update, Lexaria’s DehydraTECH™ technology delivered nicotine with 90.2% greater delivery than the concentration-matched control formulation by the 10-minute mark and substantially greater absorption levels than the control formulation at all time intervals in the study. The company contracted a third-party laboratory to conduct the study which concentrated on detailed analysis of absorption over a 60-minute period. Lexaria’s in vitro laboratory, in vivo animal and human clinical absorption studies have all demonstrated quicker and more effective delivery of substances such as nicotine and cannabinoids. The company is continuing its focus on progressing both its R&D and commercialization initiatives with its DehydraTECH™ technology platform.

“Lexaria’s DehydraTECH™ breakthrough technology is demonstrating significant effectiveness in delivering nicotine into the bloodstream much more rapidly than we thought possible, and at levels approaching two times more effective than controls,” Lexaria CEO Chris Bunka stated in the news release. “If we can develop viable ingestible alternatives to cigarette smoking we could help hundreds of millions of people avoid many of the disease states associated with smoking and I cannot imagine a more rewarding destiny bestowed upon Lexaria Bioscience Corp.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – Global Payout, Inc. (GOHE) Unveils Restructuring Plan

August 7, 2018 11:33:01

Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) today announced that it has reached agreements with Secur Capital Corp. and ISBC Holdings for the return of 149,447,870 shares of common stock. As a part of the company’s restructure initiative, GOHE decided to separate from Secur Capital and ISBC Holdings moving forward, leaving MTrac Tech Corp. as the only wholly owned subsidiary of the company. To further diminish outstanding debt and improve its financial position, the company is working with shareholders regarding the conversion of Promissory Notes. In addition, auditing firm Fruci & Associates continues to work with the GOHE to complete the two-year audit. The company anticipates the Form10 to be filed in the coming weeks.

“When I agreed to take over Global as a part of the Merger with MoneyTrac one of my first goals was to clean up the books for this company,” Global Payout CEO Vanessa Luna stated in the news release. “There is a lot of history there and we have investors that have been supportive of Global over the years during the many ups and downs.  I really wanted to make every effort possible to make sure those people were taken care of. Part of that goal has involved reevaluating existing relationships with the company to ensure they make sense in the big picture, and the management team and I agree that these relationships do not fit into the long-term plan. I personally handled the returns from both Secur and ISBC and decisions to separate were not only amicable but all the way around we wish each other much success in our future endeavors. We will continue to evaluate all aspects of company operations as we continue to build a solid foundation for what I plan to be successful company that benefits all shareholders.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) Reports Encouraging Bioavailability Results from TurboCBD™ Study

August 2, 2018 10:23:10

Drug delivery platform innovator Lexaria Bioscience (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) this morning reported noteworthy bioavailability results from its randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind European human clinical study that evaluated TurboCBD™. TurboCBD™ is a proprietary, DehydraTECH™ powered, cannabidiol (“CBD”) fortified hemp oil capsule developed by Lexaria. The study evaluated the degree and speed of CBD absorption into blood plasma and potential cardiovascular and cognitive performance enhancement in 12 healthy male volunteers. The study compared the 90 mg dose of Lexaria’s TurboCBD™ to a 90 mg dose of a positive control formulation without Lexaria’s DehydraTECH™ technology. Per the report, Lexaria’s TurboCBD™ capsules continued to deliver more CBD to blood than the positive control capsules at each subsequent time point in the study through to the 6-hour mark when the study was completed. These results validate earlier in vitro and in vivo studies that have assessed the company’s DehydraTECH™ technology. Further data is still being collected and analyzed from the study, including other pharmacokinetic study parameters such as metabolic data and the results of the cardiovascular and cognitive performance measures.

CannabisNewsBreaks – PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (CSE: PREV) (OTCQB: PRVCF) (FSE: 18H) Posts Update on Scorpion Venom-Derived Peptide Program

August 1, 2018 09:59:44

PreveCeutical Medical (CSE: PREV) (OTCQB: PRVCF) (FSE: 18H) today issued an update regarding the second phase of its three phase, scorpion venom-derived peptide research and development program. The program consists of identifying, extracting and sequencing peptides and proteins isolated from Caribbean Blue Scorpion venom. The goal of the program is to empower PreveCeutical to produce Nature Identical™ peptide therapeutics to treat, regulate and prevent cancer progression. The company’s initial focus will target glioblastoma, a highly-aggressive form of brain cancer. PreveCeutical has started phase 2 of the program, comprised of re-designing the peptides to enhance their biostability while upholding their potency during screening against well-characterized and defined targets associated with brain cancer. The company’s research team employs advanced computer technology for its in-silico modelling and docking studies against identified brain cancer targets to determine critical structural features and amino acid sequences. Using its proprietary peptide linker technology, PreveCeutical will begin to re-engineer the identified peptides after they are generated from the modelling and docking studies to conserve the structural features responsible for binding and other critical activities. Each novel, uniquely designed Nature Identical™ peptide candidate will then be purified, fully characterized and added to a wide-ranging library of candidates. Upon completion of this phase, PreveCeutical will enter phase 3 and begin screening the peptides in cell-based glioblastoma models.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) and Global Hemp Group Inc. (CSE: GHG) (OTC: GBHPF) (FRANKFURT: GHG) Issue Update on CBD Farming Project in Scio, Oregon

August 1, 2018 09:59:17

Marijuana Company of America (OTC: MCOA) and its joint venture (“JV”) partner Global Hemp Group Inc. (CSE: GHG) (OTC: GBHPF) (FRANKFURT: GHG) provided an update this morning on their CBD hemp farming project in Scio, Oregon. The 2018 hemp cultivation at the farm, operating under the name Covered Bridge Acres (“CBA”), is ongoing. Approximately 40,000 high CBD yielding hemp plants have been planted on the lower two fields of the farm, on approximately 33 acres. Six different high CBD yielding hemp cultivars were planted this year, half of which were planted as clones and the other half were grown from seeds and then planted when they were approximately two feet high. The results of these cultivars will be evaluated during harvest to determine the planting strategy for next season. Now that the planting is complete, the staff is focusing on completing the construction of the five greenhouses that were acquired earlier in the year. The greenhouse space will provide an additional 19,000 sq. ft. for research and clone production for the 2019 planting season. In addition, the companies reported that they have replaced TTO Enterprises Inc. with Jeffrey Ward as the new project manager. The companies acquired TTO’s 15% interest in the project for $30,000, growing their respective interest in the project to 50% each, and have canceled the issuance of shares and warrants associated with the further acquisition of TTO’s interest, per the original JV agreement. The companies also announced that the terms of the Escrow Pool in accordance with the JV agreement between MCOA and GBHPF have been changed. GHG will now be depositing 2,300,000 common shares and 2,300,000 warrants exercisable at a price of CAD 0.36 per common share for three years. MCOA will be depositing 10,120,000 common shares and 10,120,000 warrants exercisable at a price of USD $0.083 per common share for three years.

CannabisNewsBreaks – The Flowr Corp. Discusses Company Activities in Interview with New Cannabis Ventures

July 31, 2018 13:40:27

The Flowr Corp. was the subject of a recent article by New Cannabis Ventures highlighting the company’s activities as it prepares to become publicly-listed. CEO Tom Flow and Chairman of the Board and Chief Strategist Steve Klein provided an exclusive interview with New Cannabis Ventures discussing its strategy to compete in the booming Canadian market. Per the article, the company is currently building its 84,000-square-foot flagship facility in Kelowna, British Columbia, which is expected to be complete by year-end with an annual production capacity of 12,000 to 15,000 kilos. The company is also designing other facilities, which will bring Flowr’s annual production capacity to approximately 60,000 kilos. In addition, the company was recently named one of British Columbia’s 31 initial suppliers and is in talks with other various provinces about prospective supply agreements. Through its two brands, Flowr and Flowr Rx, the company believes its commitment to high quality will make it a competitive player in the crowded marketplace. Both Klein and Flow forecast that the lack of quality products in the industry will be even more severe following recreational legalization in the fall, and they expect Flowr’s products will be in high demand.

July 27, 2018 13:15:00

Recent growth in the market for cannabidiol (CBD) products has been strong and appears poised to continue.

  • CBD is an active ingredient derived from industrial hemp that does not contain the psychoactive or “high” effect of marijuana.
  • CBD is used in a wide range of products, from cosmetics to pet supplements.
  • The recent acceptance of a CBD-based medicine by U.S. authorities creates potential for legal change that could make the sale of CBD easier.
  • Attention in the mainstream press has created a measure of gravitas for CBD.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile) has produced a diverse range of CBD products to promote well-being. Cannabis company Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC) has created a range of CBD oils for its customers while expanding its global reach. Aurora Cannabis, Inc. (OTCQX: ACBFF) provides pain relief through a range of cannabis strains and is set to expand its R&D potential through a takeover. Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC) provides equipment to cultivate cannabis and would benefit from a change in the legal landscape alongside its customers. PotNetwork Holding, Inc. (OTC: POTN) holds several subsidiary companies benefiting from cannabis and CBD products, thanks to the diversity of the sector.

CannabisNewsAudio – Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) Offers All-natural Alternative to Synthetic Medicines

July 20, 2018 13:15:58

Related Editorial
The opioid crisis in North America has drawn attention to the urgent need for alternative medicines, and hemp CBD products offer a viable plant-based option.

  • An active ingredient in industrial hemp, Cannabidiol (CBD) can be extracted to be used in a number of different products such as topicals, tinctures, and capsules.
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) has found CBD to be nonpsychoactive, nonaddictive, and to have a positive effect on patients’ health.
  • Scientific studies have shown CBD to be effective in pain relief and, therefore, it may be a healthier alternative to addictive opioids.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile) is actively engaged in producing all-natural products containing CBD, including a recently released pain cream that can be applied topically to relieve discomfort. Cronos Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) has recently received a boost in funds and a license to produce cannabis products in Australia, allowing the company to grow its operations. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC), which produces oils containing CBD, is expanding into Lesotho and Colombia, exploring a global pain-relief market. Aurora Cannabis, Inc. (OTCQX: ACBFF), which already produces a wide range of medical marijuana strains, is in the process of acquiring an R&D company to strengthen its offerings. And Organigram Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: OGRMF) produces medical strains that include a CBD option for patients and care providers eager to benefit from this ingredient.
