March 8, 2018 09:00:05

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The first wave of companies to enter the Canadian cannabis industry were grounded in medical marijuana, which was legalized in 2001. As the country prepares for legalized adult recreational-use this summer, new recreational brands are joining the scene, and many companies rooted in medicinal cannabis are taking action to participate in this second wave of the Canadian market. With its strong branding and modern store design, Choom Holdings, Inc.

(TSXV: OGI) (OTCQB: OGRMF) is taking measures to increase its production capacity ahead of a surge in product demand. Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (TSXV: FIRE) (OTC: SPRWF) has entered into multimillion-dollar agreements to supply cannabis to retail-oriented companies, and in Quebec, Hydropothecary Corp. (TSXV: THCX) is expanding its greenhouse capacity to potentially increase its cannabis production to 30x its current volume.

Highs Coming for Canadian Cannabis

As established companies get serious about brand expansion, supply agreements, and potential retail revenues, investments within Canada’s cannabis sector are soaring.

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (REFG) in Marathon Drive to Serve Marijuana Customers with Unique Platform

March 7, 2018 15:58:30
  • ‘Green’ payment system offers security and regulatory transparency
  • Expanding legalization efforts mean more opportunity in market that’s expected to exceed $31 billion within the next three years
  • Company working out cryptocurrency alternative to U.S. dollar financing

In late February, a federal judge issued the latest legal finding on the drive to overturn the U.S. government’s classification of marijuana as an illegal drug, delivering a ruling that rejected medical marijuana patients’ claims that the ban is an unconstitutional violation of their rights (http://cnw.fm/DaqG1). The decision, based on a procedural finding that the plaintiffs had not gone through proper procedures with the Drug Enforcement Administration to challenge the ban and likely could not establish a constitutional right to use marijuana, further maintained the legal status quo of the cannabis plant, even as spreading drug availability under states’ rights movements continues to waft throughout the United States. Marijuana industry payment processing solution company Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG), whose CEO resides in Utah where similar measures are being debated, promotes the financing of cannabis industry transactions in state-legal locations and is optimistic about patient access possibilities elsewhere (http://cnw.fm/G0r4L).

“Investors and patients need not panic or worry. This is a marathon, not a sprint,” CEO Jeremy Roberts said in an interview following announcement of the company’s new dispensary-friendly private-label debit system ‘Green’ in January, on the same day that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end of…

Pliability of Canadian Cannabis Industry Triggers New Business Development

March 7, 2018 09:00:28

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The Canadian cannabis industry is pliable, changing shape amid mounting public support, favorable legislative action, an influx in capital, and the integration of alcohol and tobacco. For years, this massive industry was entirely illegal; its potential unavailable to legitimate investors. As Canada heads toward legalizing recreational cannabis later this year, however, the continuous sculpting of the industry provides investors a wealth of consumer-driven investment opportunities. Choom Holdings, Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) (CHOOF Profile) is targeting the recreational user via its own brand of high-grade handcrafted cannabis. Cannabis lifestyle brand Hiku Brands Co. Ltd. (CSE: HIKU) (OTC: DJACF) (DJACF Profile) recently received a $10 million equity investment from Aphria, Inc. (TSX: APH) (OTC: APHQF), denoting high expectations for recreational cannabis. Canopy Growth Corp.’s (TSX: WEED) (OTC: TWMJF) recent investment from a big alcohol brand reveals a glimpse of how separate sectors of recreational consumables are interwoven. This strategic blending means big business for cultivators such as ABcann Global (TSX.V: ABCN) (OTCQB: ABCCF) (ABCCF Profile), a recognizable licensed producer and seller of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products.

Canada Heads for New Highs

An estimated 5 million Canadians already smoke cannabis once a month, with another 900,000 expected to join them after legalization. In 2015, the country was already spending nearly as much money on cannabis as on wine, indicating the huge business potential of…

CannabisNewsBreaks – The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. Continues Large Scale Cannabis Production as Supply Deficit Approaches

March 6, 2018 15:45:10

Ultra-low cost organic cannabis producer The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd., also known as TGOD, is set to reap the benefits from an impending shortage of cannabis in Canada. An article discussing the company reads: “As one of just two producers of organic cannabis and with a million square feet of low cost production planned, the Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (“TGOD”) is set to capitalize on Canada’s looming supply shortfall. The company is growing its competitive advantage in a way that appears to run contrary to established dictum by focusing not just on differentiation but also on cost leadership. Typical generic strategies are either one or the other. This unique approach is winning friends and influencing people. TGOD has, to date, closed $112 million in private placements, which includes $55 million from marijuana industry powerhouse Aurora Cannabis Inc. (OTCQX: ACBFF) (TSX: ACB). As Canada draws closer to legalization of the consumer market, TGOD is looking good. The company’s highly anticipated IPO is planned for March 2018.”

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (REFG) Sidesteps Bottlenecking of Cash Transactions through Innovative Platform

March 6, 2018 15:30:39
  • REFG solves cash-handling issues with electronic system solution
  • Introduction of Green as a platform with full merchant account functionality
  • REFG’s CEO highlights plans to enter the bitcoin market

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) boasts an industry first. Through a state-of-the-art financial services system that is easy to set up and simple to use, the company’s solution to cannabis banking has shown how to solve cash-handling issues, offering electronic payment and e-commerce features. This gives the marijuana business direct and immediate access to funds while still complying with all federal (FinCEN) laws aimed at combatting both domestic and international money laundering and terrorist financing, among other financial crimes. REFG is not only compliant with these regulations; the company’s end-to-end payment processing solution has finally provided cannabis retailers and consumers with payment options other than cash. Although marijuana has been one of the fastest-growing industries over the last couple of years and is expected to continue growing at the same pace throughout 2018 and beyond, authorized businesses and vendors still have a hard time managing their finances and customers in the absence of banking services (http://cnw.fm/g8Sgb).

REFG emphasises that it is a “first-tier merchant processing cannabis industry pioneer, bringing to market the first and only comprehensive card processing operation of its kind; a state of the art system which tracks sales and tax collection, and empowers businesses with…

March 5, 2018 15:08:26

Cannabis-focused financial services company Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions’ (OTC: REFG) CEO Jeremy Roberts believes that proposed legislation in Utah will be ready for consistent debate before the end of the current legislative session on March 8. An article discussing the company reads: “A medical cannabis bill that would advocate a more moderate approach and would “bridge the gap” between two very different legalization initiatives currently underway, has every chance to be successful, according to Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) CEO Jeremy Roberts, quoted by the Deseret News (http://cnw.fm/WDo7C). Roberts, who is also a member of the Utah Republican Party, discussed the matter with Rep. Lee Perry, who is planning on coming up with a “workable medical marijuana program in the state.” While the bill has not yet been formally drafted, with Perry still gathering input on language and contents, Roberts is confident that the initiative will be ready in time to be debated before the end of the legislative session on March 8.”

Skinvisible, Inc.’s (SKVI) Potential Merger Set to Deliver an Alternative as Opioid Crisis Deepens

March 1, 2018 15:15:14
  • Developing opioid alternative for pain treatment
  • Well-positioned to capture market share as an opioid substitute
  • Timely market entry as opioid abuse reduces U.S. life expectancy

Opioids are taking a toll on the nation. Data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that, for the second year in a row, life expectancy in the United States declined due to deaths from opioid overdoses. A major contributing factor to these alarming statistics has been the increasing appearance of synthetic opioid fentanyl. The drug is immensely powerful and is suspected to be the reason why many overdoses turn out to be fatal. Compounding the crisis is the double-headed problem that fentanyl, although manufactured and marketed legally, is also produced and distributed illegally. This duality offers a pernicious path to illicit use for patients introduced to prescription opioids for pain relief. Luckily, alternatives to pain management are under development. One such option will emanate from the proposed merger between Skinvisible, Inc. (OTCQB: SKVI) and Quoin Pharmaceuticals Limited. The combined entity’s proposed first product candidate, QRX001, is expected to be developed for the treatment of post-surgical pain.

The rising use of destructive opioids is reversing the gains eked out by advances in medical science. Since 1963, U.S. life expectancy has improved, as newer drugs and better procedures are keeping us alive for longer. However, owing to increasing reliance on opioids, that trend was reversed in 2015 and 2016. Drug overdoses have now surpassed heart disease as the leading cause of death for…

Canada’s first vertically-integrated cannabis brand house, Hiku Brands Company Ltd. (CSE: HIKU) (OTC: DJACF), through its DOJA Cannabis Ltd. subsidiary, this morning announced that it has completed Health Canada’s pre-sales license inspection of its West Kelowna facility.

Hiku notes that, with the license win in Manitoba, the company has increased its internal forecasts for retail demand related to its branded cannabis flower and oil, and, as a result, it has decided to accelerate the build-out of DOJA’s second facility in Kelowna, British Columbia.

EVIO, Inc. (EVIO) Sets Up in California as July 2018 Mandatory Cannabis Testing Deadline Approaches

February 28, 2018 13:00:28
  • Global testing services market expected to achieve 10 percent-plus CAGR growth
  • California cannabis testing market also set for exponential increase
  • EVIO to double national testing footprint to 18 labs

California, befitting its history as part of America’s westward expansion, has earned an appellation as the ‘Wild West’ of pot. Medical marijuana, legal in the state since 1996, has been largely bypassed by quality control and safety regulations. That is about to change. To coincide with the opening of the adult recreational market, a plethora of rules and rubrics has been issued. California MMJ businesses will have until July 2018 to ensure compliance. As a result, demand for cannabis testing services in California is set to increase rapidly, a development that means EVIO, Inc. (OTCQB: EVIO), which has acquired testing facilities in Berkeley, California, is in the right place at the right time.

The supply shortfall in California cannabis testing services is rising to crisis proportions at a time when one report warns that ‘much of the marijuana sold in dispensaries in California would fail safety standards in other states’ (http://cnw.fm/7q9FU). Quality issues plague the industry, as recent examples from further afield demonstrate. A couple of MMJ companies licensed under Canada’s ACMPR were found to be…

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) expects to benefit significantly as cannabis deals in Canada cross the billion-dollar mark in anticipation of the legalization of recreational cannabis, which is only months away (http://cnw.fm/IY0qK). Its newly developed oral digestion technology, DehydraTECH™, is a complementary layer that works with other R&D being done on cannaboids. LXRP has been awarded a patent in the U.S. and Australia, with patents pending in 40 more countries, for the improved delivery (oral or ingestible) of all non-psychoactive cannabinoids. As the only company in the world with patents for this innovative edible technology, LXRP is in a unique position to work alongside other cannabis industry players, creating partnerships rather than competitors.

DehydraTECH allows for faster delivery time, lower dosages and shorter treatment regimens. Oral ingestion of the client drug eliminates unhealthy practices of inhalation dosing. It improves the absorption rate, by as much as five to 10 times, of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), vitamins, cannabinoids and even nicotine. Delivery time, the time it takes from ingestion to payload molecules reaching the bloodstream, is reduced from the 60-90 minutes of current methods to…

CannabisNewsAudio – Hiku Brands Co. Ltd. (CSE: HIKU) (OTC: DJACF) Set to Remap Canada’s Cannabis Retail Industry

February 27, 2018 16:40:39

Related Editorial
Out of 120 applicants, Manitoba recently awarded four master retail licenses, a monumental action as Canada prepares to legalize cannabis for recreational use this summer. The entities that now hold prized licenses to retail pot and its associated paraphernalia in the province are: Tokyo Smoke, a subsidiary of HIKU Brands (CSE:HIKU; OTCBB: DJACF) (DJACF Profile); a consortium of Delta 9 Cannabis Inc. and Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX: WEED) (OTC: TWMJF); National Access Cannabis (CSE: NAC) (OTC: NACNF); and 10552763 Canada Corporation. One key industry player that missed out on this licensing opportunity is MedReleaf (TSE: LEAF) (OTC: MEDFF). These licenses open the doors to considerable recreational retail revenue potential, and investors with foresight were quick to take action, with Aphria (TSX: APH) (OTC: APHQF) and Koicha Partners LP investing millions into the big four’s newest presence, HIKU.
