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 company announced its latest drilling results shortly before Thanksgiving (http://nnw.fm/K9oVa), with CEO Trent Mell’s evaluation that the results “confirm the continuity and consistency of mineralization predicted by our geological model and add further support for the development vision for the future of the project as we build towards the updated resource estimate in early 2019.” … In an effort to potentially restart the refinery within 18 months and use it to help fund ongoing exploration at the Idaho site, First Cobalt’s executives are in talks with third party investors who could help “minimize or eliminate any equity dilution” as the refinery gets up and running, according to the news release.”

Leading omni-direct lifestyle company Youngevity International’s (NASDAQ: YGYI) co-founder Dr. Joel Wallach was recently featured in a documentary that highlights his impactful career of spreading health and wellness awareness worldwide. A recent article discussing the film reads, “A recent documentary on the Youngevity founder has been released by Carpe Diem Media. It is titled “The Audacity of Health: The Dr. Joel Wallach Story” and has already garnered a global following thanks to social media. 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. Folate, once a negligibly known substance, is now recognized as a critical component in prenatal vitamins to foster fetal health and development. The benefits of his work for the health and wellness of citizens are innumerable and far-reaching.”

Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc. (SGSI) Displays Capability to be One Stop Shop for 5G

December 27, 2018 13:12:14
  • 5G networks expected to roll out in 2019
  • Around $150 billion expected in Telco CAPEX by 2023
  • Spectrum’s opportunity pipeline valued at $137 million

On December 19, 2018, an investor webinar and live Q&A session put on by Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc. (OTC: SGSI) showcased the engineering company’s technological prowess and potential (http://nnw.fm/1CeCq). Undoubtedly, this single-source provider has the capability to upgrade, install and maintain next-generation telecommunication networks. Deployment of 5G networks is expected to create roughly three million American jobs and add $0.5 trillion to U.S. GDP, according to global management consultants Accenture. Spectrum plans to be part of that rollout. The company has developed a global track record by successfully executing over 150,000 projects since commencing operations 34 years ago. Spectrum has delivered cost-effective, scalable, robust solutions for communication carriers, utilities, enterprise companies, OEMs and others. With 5G on the horizon, the company is gearing up to continue its stellar performance. With $137 million in the opportunity pipeline, its stock, trading at just 7.5 percent of sales, looks strangely undervalued.

A generation ago, 2G networks were state-of-the-art. Very few people had mobile phones back then. In 1991, when 2G had its debut, cell phone subscriptions numbered about 7.5 million. Subscriptions hit 69.2 million in 1998, when 3G appeared, and reached 262.7 million in 2008, after the launch of 4G LTE. Now, with 5G set for rollout in 2019, very few on the planet will not be linked to a network. Already, major carriers like…

First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Developing Potential North American Supply of Critical Tech Metal

December 27, 2018 12:15:23
  • Despite recent market downturns in the cobalt sector, market analysts see more than 10 percent CAGR during coming decade
  • Cobalt helps supply critical power to computer industry
  • First Cobalt anticipates updated resource estimate completion in early 2019 for flagship United States cobalt exploration
  • First Cobalt is also investigating options for restarting its refinery — the only permitted refinery capable of producing battery-grade cobalt in North America

A sustainable cobalt resource in North America could provide the world’s leading tech manufacturers with a conflict metal that’s free of the human rights concerns and profiteering politics evident in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where 58 percent of global cobalt production originated last year (http://nnw.fm/cilV1) and as much as two-thirds of the world’s output has been recorded. Aggressive work by pure-play cobalt explorer First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (ASX: FCC) is making a commercial North American source look more and more like a possibility.

Cobalt is a rare yet necessary resource for modern computerized equipment, making up about 60 percent of the lithium cobaltate in the positive electrodes of…

420 with CNW – Research Shows that Fewer Teens Consumed Cannabis in Washington after Legalization

December 27, 2018 04:20:29

Many opponents of cannabis legalization often argue that teens will use the substance once it is legalized. However, a recent study done in Washington State has found that such fears are unfounded.

The researchers carefully analyzed the data collected during the Washington Healthy Youth Surveys conducted in 2010-2012 and the data gathered during the 2014-2016 survey. The data clearly shows that the number of teens who reported that they use cannabis had declined.

Recreational marijuana was legalized in the state in 2012, so the researchers had a keen interest in comparing consumption rates before and after legalization.

The study found that marijuana use among eighth-graders dropped by nearly 3 percent from approximately 10 percent in the years just before legalization to approximately 7 percent in the data captured following legalization.

There was a drop of 2 percent among 10th graders since the rate stood at 20 percent in the data captured in the 2010-2012 surveys while the rate was 18 percent when those teens were surveyed in 2014-2016. There was no change in the percentage of 12th graders who consume cannabis.

However, the researchers were quick to point out that their findings do not in any way suggest that the drop in cannabis use among teens is entirely the result of legalization. They also added that their findings may not be an accurate indicator of what trend marijuana consumption among teens will take in the long-term.

The researchers suggested that more research needs to be done about the how the availability of cannabis in given neighborhoods affects the marijuana-use patterns of teens. Such research is necessary since what happens in the state capital may have little influence on what happens in particular neighborhoods.

The impact of advertising, packaging and the proximity of retail outlets should also be investigated to reveal how those factors influence the drug-use behavior of minors.

In the meantime, another study that was published shortly before the one on teenage cannabis use shows that the number of cannabis users in Washington State is almost twice what it was thought to be. This study makes the findings showing a lower prevalence of marijuana use among teens even more significant since it becomes clearer that legalization didn’t trigger a spike in the number of teens who can access and consume cannabis.

Cannabis industry participants like Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) and Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) are glad that verifiable scientific studies are disproving those who want to discredit cannabis at every opportunity.

420 with CNW – New Zealanders to Vote on Cannabis Legalization in 2020

December 26, 2018 16:20:34

New Zealand is likely to be the first Asia-Pacific country to legalize recreational cannabis if the expected vote in 2020 goes in favor of legalization. Such a development will make New Zealand the third country in the world to legalize recreational marijuana.

The next general elections in 2020 will have a binding referendum spelling out how exactly the industry will be regulated and managed in case voters approve legalization.

The government announced this approach in order to avoid a situation in which voters approve legalization, and then different parties disagree on how to implement the decision of the voters. A clear example of such a situation is the Brexit issue over which Britons are divided regarding what exactly they approved when they voted to leave the EU.

The decision to include a binding referendum in the next polls was made after the government and the Green Party agreed to work together to take the matter to voters.

The Green Party was particularly vocal in the campaign to legalize recreational cannabis. They argue that it is hypocritical for members of parliament to sit quietly while a law that criminalized marijuana was in force and yet many of them confessed that they had consumed cannabis in the past.

A recent poll conducted by the New Zealand Drug Foundation found that one in three New Zealanders supports the legalization of cannabis.

However, cannabis law reform advocates are unhappy that the government hasn’t revealed what exact question will be put to voters when that binding referendum is held. The Cannabis Reform Coalition suggests that the referendum question should have two parts.

According to them, the first part of the question should be designed to ask voters whether they want adults to grow and possess cannabis for personal consumption. The second part of the question can then ask the voters to state whether they are in favor of letting adults buy cannabis from authorized/licensed premises.

Such a two-part question can help voters indicate which specific form they would like cannabis legalization to take.

It is interesting to note that cannabis may not be the only subject upon which a binding referendum will be conducted come 2020. The New Zealand government is still mulling over the possibility of including a referendum on euthanasia and another on reforming the electoral laws.

Marijuana advocates are hoping that the outcome of the binding referendum is a favorable one, since the country has a history of having voted against changing the flag of the country two years ago (2016). That particular referendum cost the country upwards of $17 million.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) and other industry players like Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) can only hope that the voters in New Zealand will be given accurate and detailed information upon which to base which way they vote come 2020.

NetworkNewsBreaks – CytoDyn Inc. (CYDY) Appoints Chief Technology Officer Nitya G. Ray, Ph.D.

December 26, 2018 10:34:22

Biotechnology company CytoDyn (OTCQB: CYDY) today announced that it has named Nitya G. Ray, Ph.D. to serve as its new chief technology officer – head of process sciences, manufacturing & supply chain.  Dr. Ray, from November 2015 to June 2017, served as CytoDyn’s senior vice president of manufacturing.  Most recently, he served Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as its executive vice-president, head of product development, manufacturing and supply chain. Prior to joining CytoDyn in 2015, Dr. Ray was senior vice president at Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and, during his 14-year tenure there, was responsible for manufacturing, process and analytical sciences, and quality control. Dr. Ray possesses extensive knowledge of leronlimab (“PRO 140”) development and, at Progenics, successfully manufactured the first 10 batches of leronlimab under GMP, which was approved by the FDA for use in all clinical trials.

“We are pleased to have Dr. Ray return to our company to lead the final preparation of all CMC activities in connection with our upcoming BLA filing and drug supply for product launch,” CytoDyn President and CEO Nader Pourhassan, Ph.D. stated in the news release. “Dr. Ray, with his intimate knowledge of leronlimab (“PRO 140”) CMC development, is uniquely qualified to lead our preparation for the commercial launch of leronlimab in 2020 to meet the expected demand for significant revenue opportunities. CytoDyn is also anticipating to have early interim data for triple negative breast cancer in the first quarter of 2019.  If such results are positive, our need for large quantities of leronlimab may be accelerated.”

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.

Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc.’s (NUGS) CBD Line Set to Ease the Pain in Sports

December 26, 2018 09:00:36
  • World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) removes CBD from banned substances list
  • Art ‘One Glove’ Jimmerson appointed brand ambassador for CBD Fitamins line
  • Hemp CBD market projected to maintain 55 percent CAGR to 2020

In sports, as the saying goes, there’s no gain without pain. However, not all pain is the same, at least according to researchers at the John Hopkins School of Medicine (http://nnw.fm/Wv2mK). They note that there is good pain and bad pain. Stress in the muscles as they develop strength causes the former, but excessive training can overload and damage muscles, resulting in bad pain. Regardless of taxonomy, pain is an athlete’s constant companion, and, in the search for more effective escapes from it, many are ditching traditional anodynes and turning to cannabidiol (CBD) products like those provided by Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS). The company is offering athletes a way to ease their pain with its Fitamins CBD line. It recently signed Art ‘One Glove’ Jimmerson to be brand ambassador for the label (http://nnw.fm/WrRT2).

Jimmerson knows a thing or two about pain. He is a former professional boxer and mixed martial arts fighter, as well as a pioneer of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) franchise. His appointment as brand ambassador was announced on November 10 at the UFC 25th Anniversary Fight Night in Denver, Colorado, an event that was…

420 with CNW – Nebraska May Vote on Medical Cannabis in 2020

December 26, 2018 04:20:54

Two legislators in Nebraska have announced plans to put medical marijuana on the ballot in 2020 if lawmakers don’t pass a medical marijuana law in the session due to begin in January 2019.

State Senators Adam Morfeld and Anna Wishart announced that they had formed a group, Nebraskans for Sensible Marijuana Laws, to campaign and gather signatures for a ballot measure on medical marijuana.

The two legislators from Lincoln said that their campaign would be similar to what forced the issue in Utah, Oklahoma and Missouri during the recent midterm elections.

Wishart said that they were forced to register this committee after being frustrated by the inaction of the legislative arm in recent times.

The legislature in Nebraska is nonpartisan, but it is dominated by Republicans. Recent attempts to legalize medical cannabis have been blocked by these Republicans who cite different reasons for their actions.

First, they claimed that legalizing medical cannabis is a ruse to allow recreational use in the state. Secondly, some claimed that the medicinal benefits of cannabis are unproven, so there is no reason to pass enabling legislation over unsubstantiated claims.

Attorney General Doug Peterson and Governor Pete Ricketts are also opposed to the legalization of medical cannabis. That notwithstanding, Wishart plans to table another bill in the coming session as a final step before she calls on voters to have their say if the legislature blocks her bill.

This will not be the first time that voters in Nebraska are called upon to bypass the lawmakers on an issue. In 2014, a ballot measure resulted in an increase of the minimum wage after legislators rejected a bill on the matter. In November this year, voters again approved a ballot measure to expand Medicaid in the state when legislators were unwilling to do so. Before that, capital punishment was reinstated in 2015 through a ballot measure.

The two Lincoln legislators will not be on their own as they gather signatures to put medical marijuana on the ballot. The pair will have the support and the resources of the Marijuana Policy Project.

This non-profit was instrumental in the success of similar ballot measures in Utah, Maine, Nevada, Michigan and Massachusetts.  The group feels that it is inhumane to regard the patients who can benefit from medical marijuana as criminals.

The Marijuana Policy Project also believes that their campaign in Nebraska will be successful. After all, the people there already support the proposal to legalize medical marijuana. ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) and Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) hope that the people, who are the final beneficiaries of medical cannabis, will be at the center of any discussions regarding whether or not to legalize medical cannabis in the state.

420 with CNW – Legislator Wants Sharing of Missouri Medical Cannabis Patient Info with Feds Banned

December 21, 2018 16:20:52

This year’s midterm elections saw the passing of a ballot initiate to legalize medical cannabis in Missouri. Now a legislator has pre-filed a bill which will prevent any state official or agency from sharing information about medical cannabis patients in the state with any federal authority.

The bill, sponsored by Republican Nick Schroer intends to make it a Class E felony for any state official to share with the federal government any information about the people holding medical cannabis cards in the state. Anyone convicted for this offense risks a custodial sentence of up to four years.

While it is rare for the Justice Department to prosecute individuals who use medical cannabis in states where it is legal, such a step isn’t entirely unheard of. The protracted case of three family members in Washington is a stark reminder that anything can happen as long as marijuana is still regarded as a strictly controlled illegal substance by the federal government.

Currently, a spending rider passed by Congress stops the federal government from using tax dollars to prosecute individuals who use medical cannabis in states where legalization has taken place.

Why, you may be wondering, would Nick Shroer deem it necessary to propose a bill on a matter that seems to have been settled by Congress? The reason is that policies can shift at the federal level at any time.

State law is therefore necessary to insulate patients from any policy changes that can put them in the crosshairs of the federal government.

Such laws are also intended to send a strong message that the states have their own right to pass and implement their own laws without having to bow to the wishes of the federal government.

Current events show that federal prosecutors are having meetings in different states where cannabis has been legalized in some form during the recent midterms in order to discuss how those policy changes will impact the work of federal prosecutors. This is a good sign that shows that the feds are adjusting to the changes taking place at the state level even if those changes contrast with the position held at the federal level.

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) welcome the legal protections that the legislator from Missouri wants to see for medical cannabis patients. Such protections ensure that people in dire need of relief from their medical conditions aren’t looked at as criminals who should be locked up.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (REFG) Providing Accessible, Safe Banking Option to Licensed Cannabis Companies

December 21, 2018 10:32:29

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) is offering licensed cannabis providers a solution to their banking needs with ‘Go!’, an end-to-end payment processing system. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Due to federal regulations, traditional banks are often unwilling to provide full services to the cannabis industry. REFG, on the other hand, is able to provide legal banking and secure payment processing while remaining compliant to ever-changing federal regulations. The company believes that the solution to success is being transparent and complying with regulations rather than working around them. Now averaging 60 million transactions per month along with one million new cards issued, REFG takes the security and safety of every transaction seriously. … When customers of a dispensary sign up for a Go! Card, they are creating a link between their banks – any checking accounts from any U.S. bank – and the dispensaries. When businesses create a Go account, they are providing their customers with convenience and redefining the culture of dispensaries. What was once a dangerous, risky, cash-only store front becomes a safe, convenient place to do business.”

420 with CNW – Mexico to Consult Other Countries on Cannabis Legalization, Minister Reveals

December 21, 2018 04:20:37

The election of a new government in Mexico paved the way for quick steps to be made towards the legalization of recreational cannabis. Now the foreign minister of the country has told a Mexican Senate committee that lessons are going to be drawn from countries and jurisdictions where legalization has already occurred.

The government officials will visit Uruguay and Canada, as well as California and other U.S. states where recreational and medical cannabis are legal. Apparently, a Mexican team has already visited Canada to learn about this important process.

Additionally, a bill was filed before the Mexican Senate last month seeking to legalize recreational cannabis in the country.

Several factors have worked together to bring Mexico to this point regarding its policy on marijuana.

First, its war on the drug has only caused violence to spiral out of control, with gangs battling each other and the authorities on an almost daily basis. People grew weary of that endless war and started calling for another way to deal with the problem.

Secondly, the U.S. has been the biggest ally of the Mexican authorities in their battle against marijuana and other drugs (which were ultimately smuggled into the US). However, the Mexicans started questioning the wisdom of going on with an endless fight while a wave of cannabis legalization is sweeping across the states in the US. The Mexicans may have felt that it was time to take a leaf from the book of California, Colorado and the other more than 30 states where cannabis is legal either for recreational or medicinal use.

Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, the Supreme Court of Mexico made a fifth ruling to the effect that private individuals could not be stopped from growing and consuming cannabis if they so wished.

What was significant about making a fifth ruling?

Under Mexican law, any matter upon which the Supreme Court makes five similar rulings automatically sets a precedent that all other courts in the country must follow. Consequently, the fifth ruling that it was unconstitutional to stop an adult from consuming marijuana meant that no court in the country could deny anyone permission to grow and consume cannabis.

The decision to pass appropriate laws regulating the consumption of cannabis was therefore a necessary step to put into practice what the Supreme Court had already authorized by default.

It is commendable that the Mexican authorities have decided to listen to, and learn from several jurisdictions that have walked the legalization path before them. There is no need to try and reinvent the wheel when lessons abound regarding what to do and what to avoid during this journey.

Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL) applaud the rational way in which the Mexican government is approaching cannabis adult-use legalization.

420 with CNW – Upscale Cannabis Gear Selling Like Hot Cakes in New York

December 20, 2018 16:20:16

As the buzz around cannabis legalization in different jurisdictions gathers steam, savvy entrepreneurs are cashing in by bringing innovative marijuana accessories to the market. “Higher Standards” is one such store that is cashing in on the heightened interest in marijuana.

The store is housed in the prestigious Chelsea Market in Manhattan. Higher Standards caters to foodies and tourists who want a gift or a rare cannabis accessory as they head off to jurisdictions where marijuana consumption is legal.

One of the most expensive and rare cannabis accessories that you can buy at this store is a glass pipe shaped like a skateboard. This pipe goes for a cool $6,000. Cannabis infusers, cannabis rolling papers and glass containers for matches are other products you will find when you visit this high-end establishment.

Higher Standards has been in New York for more than a year. How can this be possible when recreational cannabis is yet to be legalized?

Sasha Kadey, the chief marketing officer of Higher Standards, explains that the company doesn’t touch the cannabis plant, so it enjoys some leeway that wouldn’t have been possible if Higher Standards was handling cannabis directly.

In New York, there seems to be a silent policy through which such companies that don’t “touch the plant” get a wink and a nod to continue conducting their business. The same mischievous wink is extended to customers who buy the accessories on offer as they are told that the products are for “tobacco use only”.

That knowing wink seems to be bringing good tidings of what is to come for Higher Standards since the store set its own single-day sales record on Black Friday, then went on to crash that record on December 8.

With things looking up, the store has plans to open five more locations, including one that will be in Atlanta. The Atlanta one is expected to open just in time to cash in on Super Bowl Sunday.

Meanwhile, New York is in advanced stages of legalizing recreational cannabis. This move will bring more fortune in the way of dealers of accessories, like Higher Standards. For example, word is that MedMen intends to open an outlet just outside Chelsea Market. This will bring cannabis customers right to the doorstep of Higher Standards, and sales are expected to soar.

Before that happens, however, people seem to be snatching accessories off the shelves of the outlet and business is booming. That seems to be what happens wherever cannabis is permitted. Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) say kudos to Higher Standards for contributing to cannabis culture.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (REFG) Providing Accessible, Safe Banking Option to Licensed Cannabis Companies

December 20, 2018 15:31:11

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) is offering licensed cannabis providers a solution to their banking needs with ‘Go!’, an end-to-end payment processing system. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Due to federal regulations, traditional banks are often unwilling to provide full services to the cannabis industry. REFG, on the other hand, is able to provide legal banking and secure payment processing while remaining compliant to ever-changing federal regulations. The company believes that the solution to success is being transparent and complying with regulations rather than working around them. Now averaging 60 million transactions per month along with one million new cards issued, REFG takes the security and safety of every transaction seriously. … When customers of a dispensary sign up for a Go! Card, they are creating a link between their banks – any checking accounts from any U.S. bank – and the dispensaries. When businesses create a Go account, they are providing their customers with convenience and redefining the culture of dispensaries. What was once a dangerous, risky, cash-only store front becomes a safe, convenient place to do business.”

Growth in the Californian cannabis industry, currently restricted by licensing delays, is expected to accelerate over the coming months, bringing profits for suppliers of cultivation equipment.

  • California is one of the largest recreational cannabis markets in the world.
  • Recent delays in issuing cannabis licenses in California seem to be approaching an end.
  • Outside California, the growing global reach of the cannabis industry is drawing interest from significant international investors.

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) is one of the companies set to profit from this acceleration, thanks to its sales of hydroponic equipment to cannabis cultivators. Tilray, Inc.

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) Has Great Expectations for Growth Going into 2019

December 20, 2018 10:00:29
  • Despite stock market nervousness over cannabis’ undersupply since Canada legalized recreational use, market watchers expect rebound
  • The Green Organic Dutchman is building a relatively rare organic growing operation that’s expected to have low operating costs, premium pricing and green-friendly credentials
  • The company’s first crop will be delivered next month to select patients as management continues building toward industry-leading capacity
  • The Green Organic Dutchman expects 2019 to be a banner year as it works toward output of at least 170,000 kilograms per year
  • TGOD recently launched a brand new patient and consumer-focused website, which can be viewed at www.TGOD.ca

Canada’s legalization of cannabis for a full spectrum of adult uses created a bit of a land rush as investors moved to secure fertile ground for profits in the emerging market, but undersupply of cannabis product created a sense of caution, which was reflected in declining stock values as consumers also rushed to greet the plant’s legalization in numbers greater than the cultivators and their pipelines could sustain. Even so, industry watchers generally agree that the problem is temporary and should correct itself as growers such as The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) get their operations up to capacity.

In an interview, Danny Brody, TGOD’s vice president of investor relations, stated, “This is exactly why we have waited to launch our product. We want the kinks to be worked out and have operational readiness across all divisions of our company. We want patients to not only enjoy our organic cannabis but also enjoy the experience of…

Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (DVLP) Primed for Early Christmas Gift as 2018 Farm Bill Frees Up Hemp

December 20, 2018 09:45:09
  • Farm Bill 2018, freeing up hemp, awaits President’s signature
  • Makes CBD from compliant hemp legal
  • DVLP set to benefit, with operations in CBD retail, wholesale and information services

Texas-based Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP), along with the industry as a whole, seems set for a Christmas gift that will surely be welcomed. This past week, Congress passed the $867 billion Farm Bill, which, among other things, loosens restrictions on the cultivation and sale of hemp. Approved by the Senate on Tuesday, December 11, and by the House of Representatives on Wednesday, December 12, the legislation is expected to become law as soon as it is signed by the president, very likely before Christmas. Freeing hemp from prohibitive legal rules opens the way for further research into the plant’s possible nutritional and therapeutic virtues. As a result, DVLP expects demand for hemp-related products and services, like those it offers, to increase.

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…

Pacific Software, Inc. (PFSF) Aiming to Build Digital Silk Road with Blockchain eCommerce Platform

December 20, 2018 09:00:29
  • Pacific’s B2B cross-border platform aims to facilitate trade expansion
  • China strengthens trade ties with Latin America
  • Blockchain technology holds promise to improve food safety and quality

Different times call for different measures. In antiquity, caravans traversed the 4,000 miles between China and the West bearing silk, spices and news. They traveled along what is now known as the Silk Road, a term coined by German explorer Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen in the late nineteenth century. But that was then. Today, both goods and information can travel by other channels. While trade must go by train, boat and plane, trading information between East and West can occur electronically through a platform like the one being developed by Pacific Software, Inc. (OTC: PFSF). The tech company is out to facilitate trade between China and Brazil with an e-commerce trade platform that looks set to become an important hub in a digital Silk Road.

Trade between China and Brazil looks set to increase. Although China has been Brazil’s largest trading partner since 2009, trade between the two giants is a fraction of what it might be. Currently, exports and imports between the two countries run at around $40 billion per annum. This is a mere seven percent or so of the $600 billion traded between the U.S. and China. Moreover, the incentives for China to diversify its trading relationships are intensifying. The Trump administration’s approach is likely to keep trade between…

420 with CNW – US States Hope Legal Marijuana Will Fix Pension Crisis

December 20, 2018 04:20:42

Several U.S. states, such as Illinois and New Jersey, are facing an epic pension crisis and they hope that legalizing marijuana will avail badly needed funds to fix the crisis before it boils over.

For example, Chicago’s pension scheme alone will need a minimum of $1 billion to be injected each year into the retirement benefits scheme four years from today if the city is to meet its obligations to those who served and retired.

Consequently, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is suggesting that the taxes generated once cannabis becomes legal should be ring-fenced and sent to the pension scheme immediately.

The situation in New Jersey is no better. Debt repayment and pensions are expected to consume at least one third of the state’s budget by 2023. The legalization of recreational marijuana may help to bolster tax collections so that this risky situation is managed before it spirals out of hand.

New Jersey and Illinois still have a lot to do before cannabis can become available to the residents and bring revenue to the state coffers.

Of the two, New Jersey seems to be the closest to passing the necessary enabling legislation. Towards the end of November, committees in the state legislature passed some bills to put an end to cannabis prohibition.

One of the bills made it possible to wipe out some convictions and criminal records related to cannabis, such as those for misdemeanor possession.

However, the major sticking point that is yet to be agreed upon is the rate at which recreational marijuana will be taxed once it becomes available in the state. The Governor wants marijuana to have a 25 percent sales tax imposed on it while the proposed legislation puts it at 14 percent.

Each side is advancing its own reasons explaining why a certain tax percentage is appropriate, but a consensus hasn’t been arrived at as yet.

As already mentioned, Illinois still has ways to go before recreational cannabis is legalized. The incoming governor is in favor of legalization, but no details have been worked out as yet. Analysts suggest that it may take at least one year before adult-use cannabis becomes legal in the state.

Before that happens, however, the opposition of Republican legislators will have to be overcome. This task may be made easier by the approximately $525 million tax kitty expected from the industry each year. Setting up the right legal framework and the related infrastructure will be key to realizing that tax revenue dream or waking up to a different reality.

All in all, the problems that these two states face may not go away even if cannabis brings in the projected taxes since those revenues will be just a fraction of what is needed to keep the states solvent. All that the cannabis industry, including Therma Bright, Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) and TransCanna, can do is wish Illinois and New Jersey the best as they find solutions to the funding gaps that they face.

420 with CNW – Row Over Patents Threatens to Delay Thai Medical Cannabis Legalization

December 19, 2018 16:20:03

Thailand is in advanced stages of legalizing medical cannabis, but a row over the patent applications filed by foreign cannabis companies may jettison the process that was expected to culminate in a law being passed in January 2019.

Local businesses and activists feel that the granting of those cannabis patents will make the foreign companies control the cannabis industry in the country and deny scientists a chance to conduct needed research on the plant.

Chokwan Chopaka, a cannabis legalization activist, compared the patent applications to someone wishing to patent water and all its uses. Thai law doesn’t allow anyone to acquire a patent for any plant-related substance.

Civic networks and researchers are threatening to take legal action against the government in case the patent applications are approved.

Singapore and Malaysia, Thailand’s neighbors, are just getting started on the debate to legalize medical cannabis, so Thailand would be a kind of pioneer in the Southeast Asian region if it passed the appropriate legislation early next year as expected.

Such an action would be a major undertaking, given that the Asian region has been known to have some of the harshest penalties for possession, distribution and consumption of marijuana. For example, the death penalty is routinely handed out and implemented in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia in case someone is convicted for trafficking marijuana.

Similarly, thousands of people have been killed in the Philippines in a drug war that intensified when President Rodrigo Duterte started cracking down on narcotics in 2016.

However, marijuana hasn’t always been illegal in Thailand or the region. Traditionally, it was used as a medicine for sore muscles for Thai field workers for thousands of years. Thai women also used it to ease labor pains.

Those who are familiar with the word “bong” may be surprised to discover that this word (referring to the water pipe used when smoking weed) has its origin in the Thai language. Marijuana only became illegal in Thailand in 1935.

The move to legalize cannabis, at least for medical purposes, is therefore seen as the Thai community returning to its roots of using the plant as a medicine.

Furthermore, Thailand already earns a lot from medical tourism. Adding cannabis to the treatment options available to its visitors will therefore boost the medical tourism industry.

Another major plus for the upcoming cannabis revival in Thailand is the favorable tropical climate of the country which can make it cheaper to grow cannabis when compared to the marijuana grows in other countries, such as Canada.

What is left is for the government to handle the controversy brewing over patents well so that the interests of the indigenous firms are protected without locking foreign companies out. The two need each other if the industry is to develop and thrive to its full potential.

Cannabis industry players, such as Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQB: SNNVF) and Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF), in areas where the sector is thriving can only hope that any sticking issues are resolved early so that the industry in Thailand takes off without any baggage to weigh it down.

NetworkNewsBreaks – BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) Presents Clinical Data from Ongoing Bria-IMT Trial at SABCS

Biotechnology company BriaCell Therapeutics (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) recently presented data from its ongoing trial during the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (“SABCS”), one of the largest breast cancer conferences in the world. An article discussing the company reads, “The December 6 conference poster session presentation showed safety and efficacy results of BriaCell’s phase I/IIa targeted immunotherapy trial in patients with advanced breast cancer, as well as the early safety data of the combination study of Bria-IMT™ with KEYTRUDA®. KEYTRUDA® targets protein PD-1, which can block immune system cells from fighting off tumor cells. KEYTRUDA® attempts to “release the brakes” set in place by PD-1 and let the immune system do its work. BriaCell believes that the combination of Bria-IMT™ with KEYTRUDA® will be much more effective in killing the tumor cells compared with using either of the drugs alone.”

NetworkNewsBreaks – First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Continues Exploration Efforts as Cobalt Demand is Projected to Double by 2027

December 19, 2018 15:07:56

As demand for cobalt is forecasted to skyrocket, pure-play cobalt company First Cobalt (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (ASX: FCC) continues exploration at its flagship asset, the Iron Creek Cobalt Project in Idaho. An article discussing the company reads, “Cobalt is relatively scarce, and demand for it is on the rise worldwide, being fed by the lithium-ion battery industry. A lot of the global cobalt sourcing is facing major challenges because of an extensive dependence on the resource found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Child labor is common there, giving alternative producers like First Cobalt a significant ethical advantage. … Industry analysis suggests that the demand from the li-ion battery sector alone will more than double until 2027. There are also concerns about the inability of cobalt miners to continue meeting this demand after 2021. Predictive analysis further confirms the importance of the work First Cobalt is doing at the Iron Creek Cobalt Project.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) Positioned to Capitalize on Impending Supply Glut

December 19, 2018 12:14:22

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR), a Canadian Licensed Producer of premium cannabis products, was highlighted in a recent article published by The Motley Fool, titled ‘This Tiny Marijuana Stock Could Be Better Prepared for the Coming Supply Glut Than Canopy Growth and Tilray’ authored by Keith Speights. The article discusses several cannabis industry players, including Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) and Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY). Per the article, a smaller company like FLWR might be more prepared for the impending Canadian oversupply than the companies holding larger market caps. FLWR’s low operating costs will better position it to be able to withstand a low-price environment when supply exceeds demand. More importantly, the company boasts high quality products. Flowr’s plan is to remain focused on providing high-quality cannabis while developing methods to improve yield and decrease costs.

December 19, 2018 12:02:45

DPW Holdings (NYSE American: DPW) this morning announced that its board of directors has authorized the officers of the company to pursue a separate listing and initial public offering (“IPO”) of its DPW Technology Group, which is comprised of DPW’s defense and aerospace businesses as well as the electronics and power solutions businesses. Completion of the IPO is anticipated to occur in the first half of 2019, at which time DPW is expected to remain a majority shareholder of the new entity. DPW Technology Group plans to hire a chief executive officer to provide leadership during the IPO and to develop and execute future growth strategies. Additionally, DPW’s primary investor has agreed to provide purchase order financing up to $700,000 which shall be secured by a guarantee of Ault & Company, Inc. The parties are currently in the process of negotiating definitive documents. If the financing is received, the proceeds would be used to deliver on the backlog of products in DPW’s defense business.

“Our strategy is to create opportunities for investors to hold equity in more focused, streamlined entities. The technology and defense businesses have generated a significant backlog, and we believe the capital from an IPO will accelerate revenue growth and, ultimately, add value to our stockholders. This announcement follows recent news regarding our pursuit of a spin-off of, or other transaction involving, Super Crypto Mining, Inc. and we look forward to enhancing value for both companies as they enter their next phase of growth,” DPW Holdings CEO and Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault, III stated in the news release.

Cyberfort Software, Inc. (CYBF) Defends Against Cyber Security Threats with Vivio

December 19, 2018 10:00:27
  • Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. identifies cyber-attacks as biggest risk to financial markets in 2019
  • Cyber security market to hit $200 billion by 2021
  • CYBF offers extensive suite of cyber security solutions, including ad blocking and content filtering

The castles and citadels of medieval times may still stand, but their barbicans, drawbridges and high walls can no longer provide effective defense against external threat. For today, more often than not, attack by foe and felon is on the cyber front. Hacking and other threats have grown to such an extent (http://nnw.fm/nNI0L) that “the biggest risk to markets going into the new year is the threat of a cybersecurity attack, according to a new survey of risk managers and nonrisk professionals by the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp., which provides clearing and settlement services to the financial markets.” Fortunately, Cyberfort Software, Inc. (OTC: CYBF) is offering the digital equivalent of those antiquated fortresses. CYBF is out to acquire and develop technologies that improve content filtering, ad blocking and cyber-security (http://nnw.fm/FPi3w).

As the virtual universe expands, cyber security risks are multiplying. Our increased reliance on digital networks and devices, while providing many benefits, exposes us to attack on a wider range of fronts. Cyber threats now include the “weaponization” of artificial intelligence (AI), cyber-physical attacks that could disrupt electricity supply or similarly essential services and interference with…

Zenergy Brands, Inc.’s (ZNGY) New Zero Cost Energy Saving Program Helps Consumers and Commercial Clients Limit Consumption

December 19, 2018 09:45:24
  • Growing environmental awareness creating demand for energy-saving solutions
  • Smart controls make energy consumption manageable
  • Zenergy owns retail energy provider in Texas

Growing environmental awareness and changing economics are creating halcyon days for the new Zero Cost Energy Saving Program from Zenergy Brands, Inc. (OTC: ZNGY). Cities across America are increasingly demanding cleaner energy and implementing energy conservation measures. Furthermore, data published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) show that, since 2017, the cost of electricity from renewables has fallen below the cost of fossil fuels (http://nnw.fm/g8t5I). These developments are set to usher in happy days for Zenergy, as its Zero Cost Program aligns with both trends. With its deployment of smart controls, the program holds the promise of limiting energy consumption while protecting the environment. Signing on to the program offers commercial, industrial and municipal customers the possibility of reducing their power consumption by 20 to 60 percent, and who isn’t in the market for conservative consumption?

The Zero Cost Program, made possible through an industry standard arrangement known as a Managed Energy Services Agreement (MESA), is a turnkey solution that enables customers to upgrade their older, inefficient equipment. The outdated assets are replaced by energy-efficient retrofits, such as…

Aziza Project LLC, via the Aziza Coin, Offers a Tokenized Oil and Gas Fund Investment Opportunity

December 19, 2018 09:30:06
  • The Aziza Project focuses on investing in operations in the underdeveloped Southern Africa region
  • The company’s Aziza Coin is an asset-backed security token
  • The Aziza Project owns 20 percent of Africa New Energies

London-based Aziza Project LLC offers digital tokens backed by assets. Aziza offers a tokenized oil and gas fund investment opportunity comprising a security token offering, which will permit coin holders to share in company profits. The Aziza Project owns 20 percent of Africa New Energies (ANE). ANE, which has been operating in Namibia for six years, has rights to a huge hydrocarbon concession in the nation valued at $500 million. The Aziza Project is looking to raise $60 million via the sale of the Aziza Coin, an asset-backed security token. The proceeds will be used to underwrite a drilling program and make investments in other early stage oil and gas companies.

A major difference between cryptocurrency tokens and coins is that tokens are built and hosted on existing blockchains. Coins, based on their own blockchains, are standalone cryptocurrencies (http://nnw.fm/eaqD8). The crypto industry is moving toward sensible mainstream regulation and adoption, as well as…
