The company will benefit from the infrastructure that is already in place, which could ensure rapid development. … The infrastructure existing at the mining site from the past includes a previously excavated 241-foot-deep, three-compartment shaft and 1,120 feet of underground drifting off the 200-foot level. Road and rail access are available, and there’s also nearby power infrastructure that can easily be connected to the property.”

Icon Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: IEX.H) Set to Capture High Margins with Vertical Integration Strategy in Canadian Cannabis

January 7, 2019 12:39:58
  • Canadian cannabis market set for CAGR of 77.9 percent to 2021
  • Icon’s Vertical integration strategy could capture high margins
  • Company will have operations in cultivation, extraction and retail

The legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada has made analysts project rapid growth for the industry. Spending on adult-use marijuana (http://nnw.fm/l1fIX) is “estimated to reach over $3 billion in 2021, driving a CAGR of 77.9 percent from 2018-2021.” Eventually, Canada’s legal cannabis market will likely be comparable in size to the hard liquor or wine market. Growing organically, some sectors will be profitable (others, perhaps, less so), but telling which may not be so easy. Consequently, the vertical integration strategy that Icon Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: IEX.H) is employing, by straddling the value chain, seems best for capturing the highest margins. The company will have a finger in many pies. It has been stocking up on talent as it prepares to commence operations in cannabis cultivation, refining and extraction and retail.

Even before the legalization of recreational cannabis on October 17, 2018, the cannabis market in Canada had been growing at a healthy clip. The number of medical marijuana patients has been increasing by 10 percent monthly, sales of dried cannabis have risen at…

Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of high pressure-based instruments, consumables, and related services for the global life sciences industry, this morning announced the commercial launch of its Biopharmaceuticals Contract Services Business. The eagerly-anticipated launch follows PBIO’s December 2017 acquisition of the assets of BaroFold, Inc., including patents, equipment, and other intellectual property relating to its unique, high pressure-based protein disaggregation and refolding platform. PBIO expects the technology platform to offer substantial improvement in the quality and costs of manufacturing protein therapeutics. “We are excited to announce the launch of our Biopharmaceutical Contract Services Business for the disaggregation and controlled refolding of proteins,” PBIO Chief Commercial Officer Dr. Bradford A. Young stated in the news release. “For companies involved in protein manufacturing, aggregation of proteins and challenges in achieving and maintaining optimal protein folding conformations are well-known issues that can dramatically reduce a drug’s efficacy and shelf-life. Our proprietary, pressure-based Barofold technology platform can help resolve and optimize these outcomes and can enable the development of novel protein therapeutics in both mammalian and non-mammalian systems, which we believe to be a very large and growing market opportunity.”

NetworkNewsBreaks – CytoDyn Inc. (CYDY) Names Richard G. Pestell, M.D., Ph.D. as Board Vice Chairman, Expanding Leadership Role in Advancement of Company Initiatives

January 7, 2019 10:04:03

Biotechnology company CytoDyn (OTCQB: CYDY) today announced the election of its Chief Medical Officer and Director Richard G. Pestell, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., F.A.C.P., F.R.A.C.P. to the additional position of vice chairman of the board of directors. In this added role Pestell, an internationally renowned clinician and cancer researcher and defining force in CCR5 antagonist research, will advance and accelerate CYDY’s initiatives in seeking non-dilutive licensing opportunities in cancer and immunology.

“We are honored to have Dr. Pestell serve as our Vice Chairman,” CytoDyn President and Chief Executive Officer Nader Pourhassan stated in the news release.  “He is a world renowned cancer expert who has published over 500 papers. We envision the role of our Vice Chairman to serve as an ambassador capable of delivering our message of the potential for our platform drug leronlimab (“PRO 140”) worldwide.  It just makes sense to elevate Dr. Pestell to this position, as we expect future results from our program to bring our technology into the spotlight. Dr. Pestell has the credibility on the world stage to represent the technology to other drug companies, potential collaborators, licensees and key opinion leaders. We also recognize his track record of success in overseeing cancer clinical trials for more than 13 years as the Director of two NCI -designated cancer centers. His expertise using CCR5 inhibitors in preclinical studies and the relationships he built while maintaining his commitment to excellence facilitated the approval from the FDA to proceed with our cancer trial.  With his broad leadership experience and CCR5 expertise, CytoDyn has strengthened the development of leronlimab as a novel therapeutic for cancer metastasis.”

About CytoDyn

CytoDyn is a biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab (PRO 140), a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. CCR5 plays a key role in the ability of HIV to enter and infect healthy T-cells.  The CCR5 receptor is also implicated in tumor metastasis and in immune-mediated illnesses such as graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) and NASH. CytoDyn has successfully completed a Phase 3 pivotal trial with leronlimab in combination with standard anti-retroviral therapies in HIV-infected treatment-experienced patients. The company plans to seek FDA approval for leronlimab in combination therapy and plans to complete the filing of a Biological License Application (BLA) in the first half of 2019 for that indication. CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 3 investigative trial with leronlimab as a once-weekly monotherapy for HIV-infected patients, and plans to initiate a registration-directed study of leronlimab monotherapy indication, which if successful, could support a label extension. Clinical results to date from multiple trials have shown that leronlimab can significantly reduce viral burden in people infected with HIV with no reported drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs). Moreover, results from a Phase 2b clinical trial demonstrated that leronlimab monotherapy can prevent viral escape in HIV-infected patients, with some patients on leronlimab monotherapy remaining virally suppressed for more than four years. CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 2 trial to evaluate leronlimab for the prevention of GvHD and initiated a clinical trial with leronlimab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in 2018.

420 with CNW – Want to Make Money in 2019? Think About These 3 Cannabis Trends

January 7, 2019 04:20:51

As the year comes to an end, many investors are evaluating their portfolios and are planning how to reallocate funds from losing investments to other avenues where the earning potential is higher. If you plan to make money from the cannabis industry, read on and discover the three trends that you can consider as you make your 2019 investment allocations.

Think Small

Seasoned investors know that the worst time to acquire interests in an entity is when the price is at its peak, because that means that a market correction will soon happen and latecomers will lose out.

Similarly, people who are planning to invest in the marijuana industry need to move away from the large-cap companies and examine the small-cap companies. There is logic in this approach because many of the large-cap entities are most likely to have partnered with a large entity in the past year (2018), so their shares are likely to have hit an all-time high.

Instead, think of smaller companies, such as those valued at less than a billion dollars. Such companies may have better prospects going forward because you will be positioned to get a slice of any gains they make when big players come knocking to acquire a stake in those companies.

However, you also need to be cautious and avoid very small companies, such as those valued at less than $200 million because the long-term survival of those companies may not be certain as yet.

Look to Auxiliary Companies

It may also be a smart move for investors to put some money in companies that complement the companies involved with the cannabis plant directly. For example, a good place to start would be the companies that provide packaging materials to the cannabis industry. These auxiliary companies are a good investment choice because they will grow as the industry grows, and they often have a foot in other industries, so they are a smaller risk when compared to the companies which “touch the plant.”

Slot CBD In

Cannabis drinks are likely to take the world by storm, and many of them will not cause a high. That means investing in a company that has interests in CBD (from industrial hemp, for example) may line your pockets as the popularity of CBD oils and drinks reaches feverish level in the years to come. Current trends point in this direction, especially after hemp was legalized by the federal government and more states are legalizing either medical or adult-use cannabis.

As always, do your due diligence before making an investment decision. You can start by watching the journey of Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) and ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) in order to get an idea of the historical trends for cannabis companies, and then branch out in the direction that you think holds most promise to you as an investor.

420 with CNW – The Shameful Cannabis Irony: Everyone, Except Scientists, Can Easily Access Marijuana

January 4, 2019 16:20:36

The difference between U.S. federal marijuana laws and the legal framework in many states around the country has created an ironical situation in which everyone can easily access marijuana in state-legal and states where cannabis is still illegal, but scientists who desperately need high-quality cannabis for research purposes cannot get it.

This situation is very frustrating for the scientists because they know that the private sector in states where cannabis is legal has made available cannabis of very high quality, but scientists can’t lay a finger on it due to federal restrictions.

Instead, the scientists are made to jump through endless hoops in order to get an often inadequate supply of cannabis from the Mississippi University facility authorized to grow cannabis for research purposes.

That cannabis is so inferior in quality that it would never get a buyer if it was put on the open market and buyers compared it to what is available for medical or recreational use in jurisdictions where cannabis is legal.

It is also disturbing that the federal authorities claim that there isn’t sufficient research to back the claims that cannabis is medicinal, and yet the very authorities have made it hard for cannabis research to be conducted. In essence, a catch-22 situation has developed.

These legal roadblocks aren’t likely to end soon, given that the two houses (Congress and the Senate) are unlikely to agree on anything related to marijuana since one is largely Democrat while the other is controlled by Republicans who are renowned for their opposition to any reforms aimed at relaxing cannabis laws.

However, not all is lost. The federal government recently invited qualified entities to apply and grow cannabis for the different research programs that will be approved in 2019. This may break the monopoly held by Mississippi University, but it may not be time to celebrate just yet because issues of quality may still arise in case the selected firms don’t come with the mindset that what they produce must be at par with what the commercial entities are providing to the public.

The other factor that brings hope is the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. With hemp now legal, it is likely to get easier to study cannabinoids since hemp also contains some limited amounts of THC. The feds may therefore be compelled to ease restrictions since the people studying CBD will also be interested in looking at THC and other cannabinoids.

The entire cannabis industry, including FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) and Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) long for the time when the scientific community in the U.S. will find it as easy to get cannabis for research reasons as ordinary people get the product for medical or recreational use.

NetworkNewsBreaks – The Flowr Corporation’s (TSX.V: FLWR) High Production Standards Result in Premium Quality Products

January 4, 2019 13:54:05

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR), a Canadian Licensed Producer, is leveraging its cannabis cultivation expertise to provide top-notch products. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Flowr’s high production standards and its facilities that are designed to pharmaceutical industry standards allow it to grow cannabis that meets Health Canada’s strict standards for cleanliness without the need for irradiation. Cannabis grown in greenhouses or lower quality facilities is almost always blasted with radioactive material (a process called irradiation) to kill mold and bacteria so that it can pass Health Canada inspection. While such treatment is allowed, it is known to diminish the consumer experience, as it leaves dead mold and bacteria particles on the flower and alters the taste and smell of the plant in other ways (http://nnw.fm/7xgBi). … As a result, Flowr and only a few other producers can meet the demand for premium quality cannabis, a key reason why its products were chosen for sale by government retailers in Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia, as well as a private dispensary in Saskatchewan. This quality also played a role in the team behind Toronto’s highly successful Ace Hill Beer choosing Flowr as their partner for their new Ace Valley cannabis brand.”

Through Green Hygienics’ earlier acquisition of some very important technology, the company has the capacity to become a low-cost producer. Its production cost per gram is estimated to be under $1, while direct competitors cultivating a higher-end indoor product will generally have costs in the range of $2 to $4.”

NetworkNewsBreaks – CytoDyn Inc. (CYDY) Foresees Market Availability of PRO 140 by 2020

January 4, 2019 12:23:51

Biotechnology company CytoDyn (OTCQB: CYDY) anticipates that it will attain final FDA approval for its HIV treatment, PRO 140, by the fourth quarter of 2019. The company expects market availability will follow by 2020. An article further discussing the company reads, “Leronlimab (PRO 140) is part of a new class of HIV drugs that protects healthy cells from infection by the virus. It’s a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to CCR5, a cellular co-receptor with multiple roles including implications for HIV infection, tumor metastasis and immune signaling. Less frequent dosing, minimal side effects and hardly any toxicity are among multiple potential benefits that distinguish PRO 140 from HIV treatments in current use.”

To view the full article, visit http://nnw.fm/zWs5K

About CytoDyn

CytoDyn is a biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab (PRO 140), a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. CCR5 plays a key role in the ability of HIV to enter and infect healthy T-cells.  The CCR5 receptor is also implicated in tumor metastasis and in immune-mediated illnesses such as graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) and NASH. CytoDyn has successfully completed a Phase 3 pivotal trial with leronlimab in combination with standard anti-retroviral therapies in HIV-infected treatment-experienced patients. The company plans to seek FDA approval for leronlimab in combination therapy and plans to complete the filing of a Biological License Application (BLA) in the first quarter of 2019 for that indication. CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 3 investigative trial with leronlimab as a once-weekly monotherapy for HIV-infected patients, and plans to initiate a registration-directed study of leronlimab monotherapy indication, which if successful, could support a label extension. Clinical results to date from multiple trials have shown that leronlimab can significantly reduce viral burden in people infected with HIV with no reported drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs). Moreover, results from a Phase 2b clinical trial demonstrated that leronlimab monotherapy can prevent viral escape in HIV-infected patients, with some patients on leronlimab monotherapy remaining virally suppressed for more than four years. CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 2 trial to evaluate leronlimab for the prevention of GvHD and expects to initiate clinical trials with leronlimab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in 2018. More information is at www.CytoDyn.com.

420 with CNW – Marijuana Law Changes in Mexico and Canada May Finally Change Texas Attitudes

January 4, 2019 04:20:37

The legalization of marijuana in Canada, and the impending legal change to marijuana laws in Mexico now leaves Texas isolated as the only jurisdiction in that area where cannabis isn’t legal. This “engulfment” is likely to generate sufficient pressure to cause a change in Texas sooner rather than later.

Already, public opinion in the state has shifted in favor of lesser punishment for those found in possession of small amounts of cannabis.

Moreover, Kim Ogg, the Harris County District Attorney, entered office in 2017 and started a new program in which small-time cannabis offenders would avoid jail time and a criminal record if they enrolled for a drug education class and stayed clear of re-arrest on similar charges.

This “diversion program” has also been replicated in at least one other Texas county. Ogg reasoned that it wasn’t helpful to devote badly needed resources to hunting down, prosecuting and incarcerating people on minor drugs charges and yet those resources could be put to better use to make communities safer by dealing with other pressing law enforcement issues, such as stemming the growth of child sex abuse online.

In a parallel measure that shows where Texan law is going, the state legislature passed a law in 2015 enabling doctors to prescribe CBD oil for patients whose conditions were unresponsive to the existing conventional drugs.

That law in effect shows that medical marijuana isn’t far off from being legally available as a complementary treatment beyond the narrow description provided as that bill was passed.

Interestingly, Texas also has the distinction of having the cities where the highest amount of cannabis is consumed despite the existence of prohibitionist laws. Research has it that Houston consumes approximately 21 metric tons of marijuana annually. This makes the city rank at number four on the list of the top ten cities in terms of marijuana consumption around the country.

Dallas is also in the top 10, coming in at number seven with an annual consumption of approximately 15 metric tons of cannabis.

So, where is all that weed coming from if no cultivation is allowed in Texas?

In the past, smugglers met the demand by moving cannabis from Mexico to the Lone Star state. However, the relaxation of cannabis laws in the states neighboring Texas has provided a domestic (U.S.) source for the Texas cannabis black market.

In fact, consumers now prefer the superior quality of marijuana produced within the U.S. rather than the crop from Mexico that doesn’t conform to any quality standards. It is now known that licensed growers in the states where medical marijuana is allowed produce much more than what can be consumed within those states. The excess product finds its way into the black market, and this reality has been causing federal prosecutors sleepless nights.

Wouldn’t it be wiser for Texas, and the federal government to legalize cannabis in order to end this cat and mouse game with the black market? Such a decision would ease many of the legal minefields in the way of Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV), Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and the entire cannabis industry.

420 with CNW – Cannabis is More Potent than it was a Decade Ago, Study Finds

January 3, 2019 16:20:16

Researchers who collected and analyzed data taken from at least 28 European countries have discovered that the potency and price of cannabis has increased significantly over the last decade.

The researchers from King’s College London and University of Bath found that the strength of cannabis has doubled from what it was 11 years ago. The data used in this study was taken from the data collected by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction.

The researchers looked at cannabis from two perspectives or categories. One was herbal cannabis and the other was resin cannabis.

The concentration of THC doubled from five percent to 10 percent between 2006 and 2016 in herbal cannabis. Similarly, cannabis resin had its THC content jump from eight percent to 17 percent between 2006 and 2017.

The price of herbal cannabis and cannabis resin also rose steadily during the years analyzed by the researchers. For example, the price of a gram of herbal cannabis rose from 7.36 Euros ($8.41) to 12.22 Euros ($13.97) between 2006 and 2016.

The researchers also observed that while the THC content of cannabis was increasing with time, there was no commensurate rise in the CBD content of cannabis over the same duration covered in the study.

This increase in the concentration of THC raises many concerns since users are more likely to show the psychoactive (and potentially harmful) side-effects of using marijuana. In contrast, a higher CBD content moderates the psychoactive elements of cannabis, so it would be beneficial to see CBD rising in tandem with any increase in THC content.

However, the seizures made by British police show that cannabis resin has stable or reducing levels of CBD and yet the THC content has been growing. This is in contrast to herbal cannabis whose CBD level has been relatively constant even if THC has increased.

Globally, approximately 192 million people use cannabis either for medicinal or recreational purposes. However, these numbers are likely to increase as more jurisdictions pass laws ending prohibition or allowing medical marijuana.

It is therefore necessary to conduct thorough research about the likely impact of this highly potent cannabis on the market. Similarly, regulators need to find ways to regulate the potency of the cannabis released into the market in a way that is similar to how alcohol potency is controlled. For now, consumers should take a cautious approach and remember that a gram of cannabis today may be the equivalent of more than two grams of cannabis a decade ago, so less can be consumed while still offering the same ‘high’.

TransCanna, Therma Bright, Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) and other industry players have been calling for the relaxation of prohibitionist laws in the U.S. so that the scientific community there can study marijuana and facilitate the growth of the industry without exposing users to avoidable risks.

FinovateEurope 2019: Find Out How the Alchemy of Fintech is Transmuting Financial Services

January 3, 2019 15:12:25

If you want to find out how digital technology is transmogrifying the banking and financial services industry, plan to visit FinovateEurope 2019, which gets underway on Tuesday, February 12, 2019, at Tobacco Dock in East London.

The conference will feature over 65 tech firms displaying a diversity of technologies that are reshaping the frontiers of finance. Planned presentations promise discussions and demonstrations on AI-powered chatbots and communication platforms; alternative lending/credit scoring; biometric authentication; blockchain; digital identity; open banking; and subscription management. Tan Lee, founder and CEO of Emotiv, will be the keynote speaker. Lee will head a roster of fintech A-listers that includes Thierry Derungs (BNP Paribas), Kaushalya Somasundaram (HSBC), Anna Wallace (Financial Conduct Authority, UK), Wincie Wong (RBS) and a host of other industry influencers and leaders. The main conference takes place on February 12-14, 2019, with an additional summit day on February 15, 2019.

The now well-established series of conferences hosted by Finovate continues to be a crucible for fintech development. A successful 2018 season has paved the way for the 2019 series, which begins with FinovateEurope 2019 in London. FinovateSpring 2019 will follow on May 8-10, 2019, in San Francisco, and FinovateFall 2019 is planned for New York City on September 23-25, 2019. Finovate conferences allow both established entities and startups to display cutting-edge banking and financial technology through a unique blend of short-form demos and key insights from thought-leaders.

The Finovate conference series has developed over two decades. In 1997, Jim Bruene launched the Home Banking Network (HBN), the first personal financial management (PFM)-based online banking system. Bruene, a former banker, worked with Chase, First Chicago, Michigan National, Microsoft, U.S. Bancorp and Wells Fargo to develop HBN. He went on to launch a subscription newsletter, known as the Online Banking Report (now renamed the Digital Banking Report), which was an important voice in the nascent fintech sector. In 2007, the first Finovate conference season had its debut. The series has since become an important fintech forum.

FinovateEurope 2019 in London is expected to attract 1,400+ attendees, 65+ exhibitors and over 120 expert speakers and industry influencers over three days, February 12-14. The keynote speaker, Tan Lee, has been named as one of Fast Company’s “Most Influential Women in Technology” and Forbes’ “50 Names You Need to Know.” An additional summit day on February 15 will focus on AI and Open Banking.

  • Sproutly entered LOI with the largest Caribbean medical cannabis producer to establish a joint venture to sell cannabis-infused beverages and oil products

As worldwide prohibition of cannabis eases, restrictions on scientific research into cannabinoids are loosening as well, allowing innovative companies like Sproutly Canada, Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) to emerge. Sproutly, based in Vancouver, Canada, has discovered water-soluble forms of cannabinoids, which it is now able to extract with a proprietary Aqueous Phytorecovery Process (APP) technological platform.

Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4): Project Pipeline Set to Swell

January 3, 2019 11:53:14
  • Israel on brink of removing ban on export of medical marijuana
  • Redfund makes first investment in cannabis beverage company Biolog Inc.
  • Biolog to collaborate in initiative to develop water-soluble cannabinoids

Recent developments in regulation and research and development in the cannabis space are set to swell the project pipeline of Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4). In November, a government committee in Israel approved the first draft of a law on the export of medical cannabis, a move welcomed by the industry, with one commentator (http://nnw.fm/1hY7j) opining, “Although a small step in the dry process of legislation, it’s a huge leap forward for the industry.” Medical cannabis has been domestically available in Israel for at least two decades. Its export, however, has been prohibited, leaving untapped, some say, a market worth around $4 billion.

The course of cannabis in Israel has meandered over the years. Most notably, it was in Israel that Raphael Mechoulam and Yechiel Gaoni started research on cannabis in the 1960s, with their work eventually leading to the identification and…

420 with CNW – Cannabis Drinks Likely to Be a Big Hit in 2019

January 3, 2019 04:20:51

As calls for marijuana legalization sweep across the U.S., many companies are gearing up to provide yet another way to get your high, by sipping marijuana. Cannabis-infused drinks are poised to be a big thing in 2019 and beyond if the undertones surrounding the cannabis industry are to be believed.

First, industrial hemp is now legal to grow after the 2018 Farm Bill was signed into law. This means that companies will have a huge source of CBD (the non-psychoactive cannabinoid in hemp and marijuana) to use when making cannabis beverages.

Such drinks may be the first to become popular since name-brand giants like Coca-Cola have expressed an interest in making them. Those beverage giants have massive experience in building a brand from scratch and distributing it to all corners of the world cost-effectively, skills that will be crucial in getting the cannabis drinks to as many people as possible without affecting their cost.

Secondly, the medical use of marijuana is growing rapidly and more states are due to pass legislation or vote on ballot measures to legalize medical marijuana. This sector will also provide huge opportunities for cannabis drinks to take root and thrive. Already, one brewer has put a non-alcoholic cannabis beverage on the shelves of medical marijuana dispensaries. You can bet that more such drinks are in the offing, and consumers may be spoilt for choice by the end of 2019.

A number of craft beer makers have also gotten in on the action and it is now easy to find “cannabis beer” in states where recreational cannabis is legal. However, that beer just contains terpenes that give the beer flavors similar to cannabis flavors. Consequently, you aren’t likely to get a double-high (drunk on beer and high on marijuana). So, don’t be fooled when you see the image of a marijuana leaf or plant slapped on a beer can.

There’s a major reason why you are unlikely to find an alcoholic drink that contains THC. The existing laws in the country don’t allow any maker of alcohol to include THC among the ingredients used to make that alcoholic drink.

This legal provision has a firm foundation in logic, for you wouldn’t want to learn the hard way what a concoction of different intoxicating substances can do your body and mind.

If you didn’t know about that provision of the law, then you need to be first in line to get your ticket to the upcoming Cannabis Drinks Expo in San Francisco so that you can interact with different players in the cannabis industry, such as Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) and VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) as you sip on the different drinks available.

CryptoNewsBreaks – CrypticCoin Foundation Issues Update on CrypticCoin’s Recent and Future Milestones

January 2, 2019 17:17:10

CrypticCoin Foundation on New Year’s Eve issued a press release recapping some of the recent highlights and future milestones for CrypticCoin (CRYP), a decentralized open-source cryptocurrency coin on its own blockchain that connects the best privacy and anonymity practices with lightning-fast transaction speeds. After being created on January 18, 2018, and being assigned a maximum supply total of 7,598,607,351 (which equated to about one CRYP for every person on Earth as of early 2018), CrypticCoin was successfully launched worldwide in 2018 as a Free Coin Offering (FCO) – not an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) – similar to the launch of bitcoin. However, CrypticCoin Foundation notes that CRYP is faster, more private and trading at a fraction of the price of bitcoin. Additional 2018 highlights included the release of CrypticCoin’s initial whitepaper and technical whitepaper; the close of its FCO on May 22; the public launch of the CrypticCoin blockchain; and the listing of CrypticCoin on four top exchanges, including LATOKEN, P2PB2B, Exrates and BitMart.

CrypticCoin Foundation has a number of additional milestones planned for 2019. These include introducing enhanced protection for CRYP holders from blockchain threats, a sapling update to integrate the new ZeroCash/Zcash Protocol Update, I2P Integration within wallets and RSK Smart-Contract Support, among others.

To eliminate the risks inherent in an ICO, CrypticCoin began its initial coin distribution and launch through a FreeCO or FCO (Free Coin Offering).

420 with CNW – Malawi Drafts Bill to Legalize Marijuana Farming

January 2, 2019 16:20:07

The parliament in Malawi has drafted a bill that will make it legal to grow marijuana and hemp both medicinally and industrially. The bill comes at a time when the country’s export earnings have taken a huge hit as tobacco sales decline year by year.

Tobacco sales have been bringing in at least 60 percent of the country’s foreign exchange earnings, but the sustained anti-smoking efforts spearheaded by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other groups have triggered a downward trend in the number of people who smoke. Malawi is feeling the effects of those efforts.

Moreover, the estimated value of the largest tobacco companies in the world, such as Altria (makers of Marlboro) and British American Tobacco (BAT) has declined by at least 20 percent.

In the U.S. alone, there has been a 67 percent reduction in the number of smokers from 1965. Today, approximately 14 percent of the U.S. population smokes tobacco cigarettes, and this number continues to reduce year by year.

The cannabis and hemp industry has therefore been lobbying the Malawi government to pass enabling legislation so that the country can diversify its sources of foreign currency earnings. Their campaigns are bolstered by the global trends which show that cannabis and industrial hemp are on the rise as huge commercial crops.

For example, an acre of land on which 2,500 hemp plants are grown fetches approximately $60,000 annually in the U.S., while a similar number of tobacco plants on an acre of land brings a paltry $5,000 annually to Malawi. Making the switch to hemp and cannabis would therefore be a no-brainer when these statistics are considered.

Additionally, the cost of growing hemp and cannabis is likely to be much lower in Malawi given that the country has favorable climate that can allow outdoor grows throughout the year. This is unlike the climate of Canada and the U.S. where indoor facilities have to be used to have supplies of cannabis and hemp all year round.

If the bill is passed, then Malawi will join the ranks of South Africa, Lesotho and Zimbabwe where cannabis prohibition has ended. The question on everyone’s mind is, when will the U.S. federal government finally see the errors of continuing to prohibit marijuana while the rest of the world is legalizing marijuana and allowing researchers and entrepreneurs to understand and commercialize the plant? The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF), The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) and other cannabis industry players are also asking themselves that question.

NetworkNewsBreaks – BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTC: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) Completes Novel Frozen Formulation of Bria-IMT; Announces Participation in Two Upcoming Conferences

January 2, 2019 13:03:33

BriaCell Therapeutics (OTC: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT), a biotechnology company developing targeted, safe treatments for cancer, today announced multiple updates including completion of its development of a novel frozen formulation of Bria-IMT, its upcoming attendance at the Biotech Showcase taking place Jan. 7-9, 2019 in San Francisco, and the acceptance of an abstract for presentation of advances in Bria-IMT and BriaDX programs at the 2019 Keystone Symposia scientific conference taking place Jan. 20-24, 2019, in Vancouver, British Columbia. According to the update, the new frozen Bria-IMT formulation will provide for on-demand shipment to clinical sites and accommodate higher volumes of patients at reduced costs per-dose.

“Currently, the old formulation of Bria-IMT used in the clinical trials was cumbersome to prepare, as it had to be processed the day before administration to patients,” BriaCell President and CEO Dr. Bill Williams stated in the news release. “This created a great deal of inconvenience and complexities for the manufacturer, clinicians and patients. The new frozen formulation has shown improved potency and stability in vitro and, based on its constituents and injection route, is expected to be highly bioavailable. This enhances Bria-IMT’s potential to address patient needs as a ready-to-use treatment alternative that can be prepared in advance, is easily transportable to distant locations in large quantities, is easy to use, and is safe and highly effective. We are excited to add this novel technology to our growing immunotherapy franchise as we advance safe and effective treatment solutions for advanced breast cancer, an unmet medical need. We look forward to the efficacy data of our ongoing clinical trial, which will provide further evidence for this promising novel therapy to bring hope to patients with advanced breast cancer.”

First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Aims to Capitalize on Forecast Cobalt Demand Increase in 2019

January 2, 2019 12:30:33
  • Demand for cobalt forecast to grow in 2019 and the year beyond, increasing the price of the natural resource
  • DRC is currently the world’s largest cobalt producer, but political turmoil and ethical considerations are providing excellent opportunities for alternative cobalt producers like First Cobalt
  • 2018 was a successful year for First Cobalt, with Iron Creek Cobalt Project prospecting far exceeding initial expectations

The forecast for cobalt in the coming few years is a positive one, with demand set to grow and prices expected to increase 30 percent by mid-2019, according to analysts. The cobalt price reached near decades high in March 2018, but then dropped for a few months and is now expected to reach $70,000 per tonne by the middle of 2019 and $80,000 per tonne by 2020, as noted by a Capital Economics report (http://nnw.fm/i8hNN). The increase in both demand and pricing will most likely benefit alternative cobalt producers such as North American pure-play cobalt company First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (ASX: FCC).

Geopolitical events and economic developments will likely contribute to the eventual hike. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) currently produces over 60 percent of the world’s cobalt. The country is dealing with an Ebola outbreak, as well as…

Sugarmade, Inc. (SGMD) Scaling Up in Cannabis Space with Acquisitions and Agreements

January 2, 2019 11:50:28
  • Scaling up with acquisitions and agreements in cannabis and hemp sectors
  • SGMD to gain synergy from application of hydroponics to cannabis cultivation
  • Revenue guidance for 2019 raised to $70 million

With California’s legal cannabis market expected to grow “more than 18 percent annually to hit $5.6 billion by 2020” (http://nnw.fm/wMBb4) and the hydroponics market on “a CAGR of 6.5%” (http://nnw.fm/uBW3f) from 2018 to 2023, California-based Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) has positioned itself at the confluence of two great market movements. The state was the first to buck the trend of prohibition when, in 1996, it passed the Compassionate Care Act, which legalized medical cannabis. In 2016, it made adult use legal as well, and, on January 1, 2018, sales of recreational pot officially began. Now, with demand for cannabis set to rise rapidly, attention is turning toward the supply sector and the cultivation and storage technologies like those now available from SGMD. The company’s partnership with Plantation Corp. has given it a toehold in the cannabis storage space, and its master marketing agreement with BizRight Hydroponics Inc. gives it immediate scale, expected to be around $30 million per annum.

Sugarmade’s strategy revolves around the supply of equipment and technologies to support the legal cultivation, processing and storage of cannabis and other agricultural products. Its marketing and distribution agreements open the doors to three…

420 with CNW – Study Finds That Veterinarians Want Cannabis Legalized for Pets

January 2, 2019 04:20:29

A recent survey has discovered that the majority of veterinarians want the laws on marijuana relaxed for both pets and humans. Many of those who participated in the survey felt that they were fairly informed about the medicinal use of marijuana, but they lamented that state veterinary associations or boards aren’t providing guidance to keep their members informed about how to handle the subject of cannabis for pets with clients.

The study, whose findings were released in Frontiers in Veterinary Studies (a respected industry journal), had more than 2,100 certified veterinarians sharing their views.

The researchers observed that just under five in 10 of the practicing veterinarians who took part in the survey revealed that they didn’t feel at ease discussing marijuana with pet owners. This hesitation was more noticeable among the veterinarians who had recently graduated, and were therefore new to the field.

Only eight percent of the respondents said that they had never been asked by a pet owners about CBD products for pets.

A significant proportion of the respondents (66 percent) admitted that they would never recommend marijuana for dogs while approximately five percent revealed that they routinely recommend CBD to dog owners.

Two key reasons were given to explain why the veterinarians were uncomfortable recommending marijuana to pet owners. First, 65 percent of the veterinarians felt that more research on the subject was needed. Secondly, 53 percent were reluctant because of the legal issues surrounding marijuana.

CBD was either recommended or discussed for pain management, fireworks or storms phobias, seizures or anxiety.

A huge majority (82 percent) of the study participants said that CBD should be removed from Schedule 1 while 70 percent of the respondents want marijuana rescheduled from where it is currently classified (Schedule 1).

The authors of the study wrote that the existing laws, and the polarization between marijuana advocates and those opposed to it, have made it hard for veterinarians to feel at ease when discussing marijuana with pet owners.

The authors therefore called on state veterinary boards and state veterinary associations to be more forthcoming with actionable guidance to veterinarians so that these professionals aren’t on their own when responding to queries from their clients.

The voices from different groups (alcohol retailers, mayors, etc.) are getting louder in their demands for marijuana law reform at the federal level. This survey of certified and practicing veterinarians is yet another addition to those calls. How long will the federal government wait before it listens and acts accordingly? Participants in the industry, such as Supreme Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) and Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQB: SNNVF) hope that federal action is seen sooner rather than later so that even players outside the U.S. don’t have a cloud hanging over their heads.

420 with CNW – Israeli Parliament Approves Export of Marijuana

December 28, 2018 16:20:04

The Israeli parliament voted unanimously in favor of a bill that would pave the way for Israel to start exporting medical cannabis. The approval of this bill by cabinet would allow Israel to be the third country in the world (following the lead of the Netherlands and Canada) to tap into the global medical marijuana market.

iCAN, an Israeli company that specializes in medical cannabis, welcomed the decision in parliament and added that the global medical cannabis market is likely to be worth $33 billion within the coming five years as the stigma directed at marijuana melts away.

This growing demand is likely to be entirely met by the few countries which have passed regulations to certify medical cannabis exports. For example, South Korea recently passed a medical marijuana law, and imports will only be accepted from countries that have approved cannabis products for medical use. Israel is now one potential source for medical cannabis for the South Korea market.

The stock market in Israel welcomed the news of the passing of this bill and cannabis companies registered massive gains (up to 10 percent) late on Tuesday (December 25) as the bill was passed.

However, the passing of this law didn’t come easily. For several years, the draft bill lay in limbo as there was massive opposition from law enforcement towards its enactment. The authorities were apprehensive that a significant portion of the medical marijuana which is exported may find its way onto the global black market.

To address these concerns, the framers of the bill added provisions that gave the Israeli police authority to supervise how medical cannabis export licenses are issued. The law imposes strict regulations upon the exporters, and those who violate that law face huge fines and prison time.

The Israel Securities Authority (ISA) immediately appealed to investors to avoid rushing to put their money in marijuana companies just because legislators had passed a law permitting medical cannabis exports. This appeal was similar to the appeal ISA issued regarding cryptocurrencies approximately one year ago.

The bill permitting the export of medical cannabis was passed just before parliament took a break so that preparations for the early elections called (due in April next year) can take place. Any additional delay would have compelled the House to postpone debate and voting on the bill until after the elections.

The export market is important to Israeli cannabis companies since the domestic market isn’t large enough to keep them growing and thriving. What is now left is for cabinet and Benjamin Netanyahu to approve the bill. However, there is some apprehension that the Prime Minister may avoid playing his hand on this controversial topic until after the elections on April 9, 2019.

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD), Sproutly Canada, Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) and other parties in the cannabis industry welcome the decision in Israel since it will add depth to the existing players at the global level.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (DVLP) Set to Benefit from Congress Passing the 2018 Farm Bill

December 28, 2018 13:46:07

Golden Developing Solutions (OTC: DVLP), an emerging leader in the cannabis, hemp, and cannabidiol (“CBD”) marketplace, is set to benefit from Congress recently passing the 2018 Farm Bill, loosening restrictions on the cultivation and sale of hemp. An article discussing the company reads, “With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, the hemp industry is poised to escape from the doldrums. Hemp is derived from the cannabis sativa plant, differing mainly because it has a much lesser level of THC than marijuana. However, having a common origin with marijuana has meant that it has suffered the same opprobrium and prohibitions. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, for example, required every person who sold, dealt in, dispensed or gave away marihuana to register with the Internal Revenue Service and pay a special occupational tax; it made no exception for hemp. The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 retained and intensified the restrictive regime around hemp. By making only negligible distinction from marijuana, it criminalized hemp, labeling it as a Schedule I controlled substance, the most restricted category of drugs. … The Farm Bill reverses that provision, removing industrial hemp from the CSA’s definition of marijuana and, consequently, from Schedule I.”

NetworkNewsBreaks – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Eyes Fast, Reliable Production as Further Spodumene Mineralization is Identified

December 28, 2018 13:05:29

QMC Quantum Minerals (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) recently reported that during its ongoing exploration and development of the Irgon Project, geotechnical field crews identified additional significant spodumene mineralization. Spodumene mineralization is recognized as being the primary source of hard-rock lithium. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Hard rock mining of spodumene as a source for lithium has distinct advantages over reaping elemental lithium from brines, since only highly concentrated brines produce lithium economically and the process to extract the lithium is glacial. The company states (http://nnw.fm/4Cx79) that once the initial exploration phase has been completed on hard rock lithium pegmatites, such as at its Irgon Project, hard rock pegmatite deposits are faster to mine and production is more reliable. QMC is nearing the final stage of this exploration phase and approaching the point at which an updated NI 43-101 can be filed, which will likely lead the company closer to its goal of actively mining the Irgon Lithium Mine Property.”

420 with CNW – Oregon Eases Access to Medical Marijuana

December 28, 2018 04:20:45

The authority in charge of overseeing cannabis in Oregon (the Oregon Liquor Control Commission) has released new rules that will make it easier for patients to access medical marijuana.

The new rules that are set to take effect tomorrow (December 28) will allow marijuana to be delivered to those areas where the local authorities have passed ordinances banning any marijuana-related business activity within their jurisdictions.

The new provision of the rules is welcome news to patients and caregivers because they will no longer have to travel long distances in order to replenish their medical cannabis supplies.

Additionally, the new rules have also increased the limit on how much cannabis one can buy at a go. Previously, a patient holding a medical cannabis card was only allowed to buy an ounce (28.3 grams) of cannabis.

This limitation was particularly hard on patients or caregivers from the areas where medical cannabis was prohibited. This is because such people would be compelled to make frequent trips to distant medical cannabis dispensaries.

The new rules now allow a patient or caregiver carrying a valid medical cannabis card to purchase up to 8 ounces (226.4 grams) of cannabis. This higher cap means that patients will now reduce how frequently they go to purchase replenishments.

Why the change of heart on the quantities?

It was previously feared that allowing medical cannabis cardholders to buy larger amounts of cannabis would create opportunities for the medical cannabis program to be used as a supply source for the recreational use of marijuana. However, this may have proved to be an unfounded fear.

Secondly, the inconvenience of having to go to a dispensary so frequently was burdensome to many patients and caregivers, so a concession on how much could be purchased was an inevitable compassionate step to take.

It is estimated that Oregon has approximately 50,000 people registered to access medical marijuana. The state legalized medical marijuana in 1998, and it has been updating its regulatory framework periodically, based on the changing realities within the state, and borrowing from the experiences of other states where medical marijuana has since been legalized. It is in this same spirit that plans are underway to pass permanent rules regulating CBD products and hemp in the wake of the passing of the Farm Bill 2018.

SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) and other industry participants like Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: 03X4) welcome the changes Oregon has made in response to the persistent problems that patients and their caregivers were experiencing.

420 with CNW – Cannabis Legalization Has Reduced Smuggling and Improved Border Security, Study Finds

December 27, 2018 16:20:10

A new study has shown that the legalization of marijuana in different states has reduced drug smuggling and made the Southern U.S. border safer. This research was conducted by the Cato Institute.

The Cato Institute analyzed data on how much marijuana has been seized by Border Patrol agents over time. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regularly releases statistics about the different drugs that have been seized at the different ports of entry into the country.

The analysis shows that over a period of five years, the quantity of marijuana smuggled has reduced by a whopping 78 percent. Similarly, the amount of marijuana seized by each Border Patrol agent has reduced by an average of 70 percent.

Colorado and Washington were the pioneers of marijuana legalization, and there are nearly a dozen states that have now ended the prohibition of marijuana. Many more are set to follow suit in the coming years as ballot measures and legislative action is already in advanced stages in several states as this year ends.

The Cato analysis is timely since it comes at a time when the White House is pushing hard for the construction of a wall on a large section of the border with Mexico. In fact, disagreement over the border wall even caused a partial government shutdown that is still ongoing.

The analysis of smuggling data shows that building a wall at the Mexican border isn’t likely to reduce the rate (and quantity) of the drugs smuggled into the U.S. Remember, the number of Border Patrol agents was dramatically increased between 2003 and 2009, but the CBP seizures data didn’t show any decline in the per-agent marijuana seizures. Only legalization has resulted in such a reduction since most consumers are more comfortable buying their cannabis from regulated sources instead of taking a chance with the smuggled substance for which no quality controls are implemented.

It is also worth remembering that the U.S. government constructed hundreds of miles of border fencing at about the same time when it doubled the CBP workforce, but there was no change in the data on smuggling. It may therefore be reasonable to expect that the wall may not fare any better since the real reason for smuggling (the lack of legal marijuana in some states) hasn’t been addressed.

As for the different marijuana industry players like Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) and Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF), the Cato research is yet another piece of evidence that marijuana legalization has so many direct and indirect benefits.

NetworkNewsBreaks – BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) Advancing Clinical Development of its Novel Advanced Breast Cancer Treatment

December 27, 2018 14:47:28

BriaCell Therapeutics (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT), an immuno-oncology focused biotechnology company, is continuing its progression of Bria-IMT for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. An article discussing the company reads, “The Bria-IMT phase I/IIa monotherapy study involved 23 patients who were very heavily pre-treated (a median of four previous systemic therapy regiments per patient). The treatment with Bria-IMT was well-tolerated, with minor local irritation at the injection site being reported as the most common adverse effect. … More importantly, Bria-IMT contributed to tumor shrinkage in three of the patients. The top respondent previously received seven rounds of chemotherapy and had tumor metastases at various sites. The patient’s three-month follow-up showed shrinkage in all 20 metastatic formations in the lungs. After six months, the response was still maintained. Two other patients also showed tumor reduction. All of the patients with tumor reduction matched Bria-IMT at one or more HLA types, validating BriaCell’s approach to selecting patients most likely to respond (BriaDx). Biological activity was observed in several other of the patients, and there was a noted decrease in circulating cancer-associated cells.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – Complex Regulations, City Bans & High Taxes Restrict California’s Legal Cannabis Market

December 27, 2018 14:35:43

A recent article authored by Patrick McGreevy and published by the Los Angeles Times, titled ‘One year of legal pot sales and California doesn’t have the bustling industry it expected. Here’s why’ shines a light on the negative impact complex regulations, city bans and high taxes have had on California’s legal cannabis market. The article discusses several hurdles that legal cannabis businesses have had to jump through in order to operate within the state. One such obstacle plaguing small cannabis companies is the competition from the large illicit market, which isn’t hampered by the high taxes licensed businesses must pay. “Because we are up against high taxes and the proliferation of illegal shops, it is difficult right now,” Javier Montes, owner of Wilmington pot store Delta-9 THC stated in the article. “We expected lines out of our doors, but unfortunately the underground market was already conducting commercial cannabis activity and are continuing to do so.”

The documentary traces the evolution of Wallach’s quest to spread health and wellness from the 1960s through his four decades of work in the industry. Most notably, the film showcases his early research-driven activism to save the white rhino from pollution in the 1960s, as well as his monumental victory petitioning the FDA to mandate supplement manufacturers to require important nutrients like folate, among others, as required dietary supplements.
