"The CCAs underscore this strategy by providing a vital mark of distinction for both winners and nominees, allowing them to demonstrate value and quality back to Canadians, while emboldening essential trust in our burgeoning world-class industry. The almost 50 per cent increase in public votes this year is a testament to the level of public awareness and standard of excellence the CCAs represent today."

Key Executives Shift from #Beverage Industry to #Cannabis: Sproutly (CSE: $SPR.C) (OTCQB: $SRUTF), Corby (TSX: $CSW.A.TO) (TSX: $CSW.B.TO), Pernod Ricard SA, Aphria (TSX: $APHA.TO)
Point Roberts, WA - November 30, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks releases a sector snapshot with a focus on the shift and demand for seasoned beverage industry experts to enter the rapidly growing cannabis infused beverage market.
As cannabis focused companies prepare to enter into the infused beverage market, finding seasoned experience to enter into the international and national beverage markets has become paramount, as many of the technologies and R & D reach their final stages and are now simply waiting on legislation.
Companies like Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF), who have secured a proprietary water soluble technology which is being readied for the market, have now pushed their focus towards people. Sproutly just appointed Constantine Constandis to the Advisory Board, as well as announced that Michael Bellas, CEO and founder of Beverage Marketing Company, has joined the Company's board of directors.
From the news: Mr. Constandis is a global C-level executive with over 34 years of experience in the wine and spirits industry in Canada, USA, Europe and Asia. Constandis was a former senior executive with Pernod Ricard SA (RI:PA), the €37B publicly traded producer of wine and spirits whose global portfolio includes leading brands such as Absolute Vodka, Jameson, The Glenlivit, and Beefeater, among others; most recently serving as President of Pernod Ricard China and Pernod Ricard Asia Travel Retail. Prior to Pernod Ricard, Mr. Constandis was the CEO of Corby Spirit and Wine Ltd (TSX:CSW.A)(TSX:CSW.B) the TSX listed alcohol manufacturing and distribution company whose portfolio includes some of the most renowned brands in Canada, including J.P. Wiser's Canadian whiskies, Lamb's rum, Polar Ice vodka and McGuinness liqueurs.
Continued: "We are very pleased with the addition of Constantine Constandis to Sproutly's Advisory Board," said Keith Dolo, President and CEO of Sproutly. "Constantine is committed to becoming an active member of the Company's Advisory Board. His experience in brand building, operations, sales and marketing in the highly-regulated spirits industry will prove to be extremely valuable to Sproutly as it continues to develop into a leading cannabis beverage company," he concluded.
Sproutly Canada, Inc. also announced that Michael Bellas, CEO and founder of Beverage Marketing Company, has joined the Company's board of directors. Mr. Bellas is a seasoned beverage executive who brings over 45 years of experience working with leading beverage companies across all beverage categories.
From the news: "Mr. Bellas is among the most respected names in the beverage industry and we are extremely pleased that he has joined our board of directors," said Keith Dolo, President and CEO of Sproutly. "His experience in the beverage industry, working with some of the largest global companies and brands in the beverage sector adds tremendous value to Sproutly's mission," he added.
Sproutly may be on the move to gather as much beverage industry experience as possible in the coming months but they are not alone.
In June, Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE:APHA) announced the appointment of Joel Toguri as Vice President of Sales, effective on June 18, 2018. Mr. Toguri joins the Company from Southern Glazer's of Canada where he was Vice President of Sales and Operations since 2013.
From the news: "Toguri brings more than 20 years' experience in the Canadian beverage alcohol industry. Prior to Southern Glazer's, Mr. Toguri held leadership roles at MolsonCoors, Maxxium Wine & Spirits, and Beam Global Spirits & Wine."
Other companies have taken a different approach of simply combining company strengths, most notably the joint venture between HEXO Corp (TSX:HEXO) (OTC:HYYDF) and Molson Coors Canada (MCC). Truss, which will be led by former Molson Coors executive, Brett Vye in the role of Chief Executive Officer, will report to the Truss board of directors consisting of three members appointed by MCC and two members appointed by HEXO.
This trend of beverage company executives, as well as the companies themselves, shifting towards the cannabis sector is due not only in part to the massive potential of the cannabis infused beverage industry, but also to a decrease in sales in the alcohol industry, which many have directly attributed to the added competition of cannabis infused products.
One article discussed this relationship between dropping alcohol sales and rising cannabis sales and the relationship millenials have started to play.
"The majority of the 55 million recreational marijuana users in the U.S. are millennials, according to a 2017 Yahoo News poll. Most millennials use marijuana socially: Only 25% of them smoke alone."
Continued: "Millennials drink far less alcohol than past generations, an annual national survey of 50,000 adolescents and young adults in America from the Monitoring the Future Study found. The share of college students who drink alcohol daily fell from 4.3% in 2016 to 2.2% in 2017, a drop of more than four percentage points from the 6.5% of college students who used alcohol daily in 1980."

Body and Mind Inc. and Australis Capital Inc. (CSE: AUSA) announced an investment by BaM into Green Light District Holdings, Inc. by way of a USD $5,200,000 senior secured convertible note at a rate equal to 20% per annum. The note is convertible into 89.75% of the shares of GLDH at the option of the Company. In addition, BaM has an agreement to issue additional consideration to David Barakett totalling USD $6,297,580 payable in shares of BaM at price of CAD $0.7439 upon meeting certain milestones. The price was calculated using a 5-day volume weighted average price as of November 28, 2018. BaM's investment in GLDH was funded in part by a $4,000,000 secured loan from Australis.
GLDH is the owner of the well-known ShowGrow dispensary brand and owner of the ShowGrow Long Beach dispensary, 43% of the equity interest and 60% of the voting rights in the ShowGrow San Diego dispensary, 30% equity interest in ShowGrow Las Vegas, and 100% ownership of the popular ShowGrow app. The dispensaries are in various stages of licensing: Long Beach has a medical license, San Diego has a conditional use permit ("CUP"), and Las Vegas has a recreational license. GLDH focuses on building dispensaries in high volume locations and will continue to work toward receiving its recreational status at both Long Beach and San Diego. ShowGrow San Diego still requires build out and is not yet open for business.
Leonard Clough, BaM's CEO commented, "Our gratitude goes to the team at Australis, who worked tirelessly in assisting us in getting this deal completed within a one-week period. Australis not only provided BaM with a secured credit facility, but also agreed to exercise approximately 3.2 million warrants to allow us to maintain a responsible debt to equity ratio. This is a demonstration of how the Australis and BaM relationship benefits both our shareholders. Secondly, I am happy to welcome David to our team and believe that this opportunity is multi-dimensional as it provides a benefit to almost all our business segments."
Canopy Growth Corporation and MediPharm Labs Inc., a specialized cannabis extraction business licensed under the Cannabis Act, and a wholly owned subsidiary of MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSXV: LABS) have entered into a strategic supply agreement dated November 29, 2018.
Under the 18-month agreement, MediPharm will supply up to 900kg of cannabis extract for sale to Canopy Growth and its subsidiaries. Canopy Growth has committed to purchasing a minimum of 450kg with an option to purchase an additional 450kg.
"As the industry matures we are seeing exciting businesses like MediPharm establish specialized skill sets that will drive the industry forward. Extraction is now and will continue to be an opportunity to develop expertise and IP," said Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "We continue to develop our own capacity in this area and are pleased to work with MediPharm, a leading team that has demonstrated it shares this vision."
Liberty Leaf Holdings Ltd. announced that its subsidiary, Just Kush Enterprises Ltd., submitted its Affirmation of Readiness ("AOR") evidence package to Health Canada on November 29, 2018.
This submission is the final stage in Just Kush's strategy and efforts to obtain regulatory approval for Cannabis Licensing, which has included the buildout and upgrading of its facility, and compliance with all of Health Canada's Cannabis Licensing requirements. The AOR submission was orchestrated and shepherded by Cannabis Compliance Inc. ("CCI"), a respected firm with a proven track record for success in this area.
Completion of the AOR involved certifying the readiness of the facility itself, and producing an attestation video and comprehensive report with evidence supporting the Company's adherence to Health Canada's standards and requirements for Cannabis Licensing.
"We are extremely gratified that we have reached the culmination of all our planning and efforts to effect the AOR submission," said Will Rascan, President and CEO of Liberty Leaf.

MJBizCon Cannabis Show in Las Vegas; Investor Ideas talks to Wolf of Weed Street, @WolfOfWeedST
Delta, BC and Las Vegas, NV - November 29, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering marijuana and hemp stocks and its cannabis podcast site www.potcasts.ca reports from Las Vegas, at this year's biggest MJBizCon show to date, from the first ever Podcasters Row.
Investor Ideas met with Jason Spatafora, known as Wolf of Weed Street, at MJBizCon to discuss his entry, strategy and experience in investing in the cannabis space.
Jason Spatafora, Wolf of Weed Street
After a couple of months of email tag trying to set up an interview with the infamous Wolf of Weed Street, we finally got to meet him in at the iconic MjBiz Conference in Vegas for an interview.
Many have mixed opinions of Jason. Maybe his social media persona is like an olive - you either hate them or its part of your daily diet. For all of you olive haters out there; we love olives and we loved Jason, one of the nicest guys you might meet at a cannabis conference.
His interview gave great insight into his start in investing in cannabis stocks. When asked what he looked for in winning cannabis penny now versus the early years, as the US market has changed with NASDAQ listed cannabis companies being front and center, he said, "When I first started I had no clue what I was doing....the first company I invested in did payment processing. I put $500 in, never invested in a penny stock in my life before. It went up 50% and two days later it tanked; I was like, "what the hell just happened?"
He went on to say, "Initially I thought 'there is something to this volatility but I need to look at this differently', so I focused on the agricultural side; the lights, the picks and shovels...That is how I grew and made some big money and lost a lot of money and it wasn't until the first bubble burst which was around April 2014 that I realized I didn't know anything."
Continued: "The rules for companies in the US versus Canada are completely different. Its convertible debt...the US is a crap shoot. So the first thing I do is, I Google the CEO's name and type 'fraud' next to it or 'scam'. I'd look at the companies he did before, if any. What was the status of them? Did this guy have 4 shells before and they all sucked?"
Continued: "Now it is how is everyone going to fit into the global cannabis market? I look at the Canadian market as there are a lot of great companies but there are also a lot of baby seals. (They are all going to get clobbered). Unless you have some sort of IP and you are frugal with your money, you will be ok. I think that what we are going to see is a lot of these smaller companies (the baby seals), if they are smart-they get together and they try to plant smaller flags and cast a wider net together to share costs etc. At the end of the day, in a couple years, they are not going to be able to compete with the Auroras, the Canopy Growths, The Aphria's of the world."
After our interview we got the chance to stop by his suite in Vegas to talk and exchange life stories with Jason and his wife. We compared notes about everything - from getting 3-year olds nails painted for the first time, the need for more women in the cannabis industry and lessons we have learned along the way from getting burnt in the market.
Jason and his wife were one of the highlights of the trip. Four things we learned about Jason; he's smarter than you, he has no time for phoniness, he truly loves the cannabis sector, and his wife is awesome!
So the next time you are feeling salty about the Wolf; order that martini with three olives The Wolf of Weed Street isn't going anywhere but forward.
