Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast – following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today we will be looking at announcements from Beleave Inc. (CSE: BE) (OTCQX: BLEVF), Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE: PLTH) (OTCQB: PLNHF), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX:ACB) (NYSE: ACB) and Newstrike Brands Ltd. (TSX-V:HIP)
Beleave Inc. announced that it has secured genetics acquisition agreements for a broad range of cannabis seed varieties from diverse lineages.
There will be a total of 90 new varieties introduced in the coming year that have been selected to cover the entire spectrum of low, intermediate, and high THC and CBD profiles. The list includes well-known classic Sativa and Indica varieties with applications for both medical and adult recreational markets. Also included in the selection are a number of novel strains, not previously available in the Canadian market, which have been bred for select terpene profiles to offer distinct custom flavours and aromas.
Last week, Health Canada notified the Company that their existing license under the ACMPR had been updated for the new system reflecting the changes under the Cannabis Act.
In the coming months, Beleave will be completing construction and upgrades on new facilities in Ontario and British Columbia. Once completed, they will greatly increase the Company's production capacity allowing Beleave to help supply the demands of Canada's growing cannabis market.
"We are very happy with the new varieties being introduced and the potential they have for Beleave's future. Our master grower has been working tirelessly to select and secure these strains," said Beleave CEO, Andrew Wnek. "Our whole team has been working aggressively to bring us to this point. Whether it's our increasing production capacity, expanded global distribution, or these new cannabis varieties; Beleave is ready."
Planet 13 Holdings Inc., a leading vertically-integrated Nevada cannabis company, announced today that it has launched its second wholly-owned brand, TRENDI.
"The TRENDI line of products is specifically designed to appeal to our Las Vegas Strip tourist clientele," said Larry Scheffler, Co-CEO of Planet 13. "The design is based directly on the feedback we have received over the years from visitors to Las Vegas, who are uniformly seeking a sleek, compact, easy-to-use disposable vape and concentrate product that offers a premium feel and quality experience even if they are only in town for a few days."
TRENDI represents expertly crafted disposable vape and concentrate products that create the trend, not the other way around. Utilizing state-of-the-art hydro carbon extraction technology further refined by fractional distillation, TRENDI delivers an exceptionally high potency product that enables our premium customer base to stand out from the crowd.
Overseen by Planet 13's VP of Operations and award-winning grower Chris Wren1, TRENDI will be powered by a curated variety of strains, processed into ultra-premium disposable vapes and concentrates at Planet 13's production facilities. The TRENDI line of products will be exclusive to the Planet 13 Superstore.
Aurora Cannabis Inc., announced its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2018.
On October 17, 2018, sales of cannabis for adult consumer use in Canada, legalized through Bill C45, commenced. Aurora recorded a strong performance, ranking top or among the top selling products and brands in many of the provinces the Company committed to supplying, for the first two weeks to October 31, 2018.
Provincial Highlights, for the first quarter included Aurora brands accounting for approximately 30% of the total market supplied through the OCS, with San Rafael as the top selling brand in ON and Aurora supplying two of the three top selling products
In BC Aurora had the top 4 best-selling dried flower products in BC and 3 of top 8 best-selling oil and capsule products.
In PEI Aurora and MedReleaf are 2 of the 6 top best-selling LPs in the province, with Aurora being the 2nd largest for overall revenue with more than 450 unique SKUs launched across Canada.
First quarter 2019 highlights included a revenue of $29,674,000 up 260% compared to the same period in 2018.
Pro-forma Q1 2019 revenue of $35,752,000 including MedReleaf (consolidated as of July 25, 2018), Anandia (consolidated as of August 8, 2018) and Agropro (consolidated as of September 10, 2018)
Gross margin on cannabis of 70%, up 12% points compared to the first quarter of 2018, and down slightly by 4% points compared to Q4 2018. The increase versus Q1 2018 was primarily due to a higher average selling price per gram of dried cannabis, coupled with a higher proportion of cannabis oil sales in the Company's sales mix ratio. The slight decrease from Q4 2018 was due to higher average packaging costs related to the inclusion of MedReleaf's relatively higher packaging costs and an overall increase in packaging costs due to the stringent regulatory requirements of the Cannabis Act.
The first quarter also saw active registered medical patients increase to 67,484,000 up 250% compared to the first quarter of 2018, as well as the introduction of Aurora Cloud, making Aurora the first and, to the company's knowledge, only LP supplying a vape-ready CBD oil cartridge to the market.
Newstrike Brands Ltd. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Up Cannabis Inc. ("Up Cannabis"), has had its licences issued under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) successfully migrated to licences under the Cannabis Act and its regulations for both its Brantford and Niagara Facilities. This migrated licence issued for the Niagara greenhouse adds the ability to sell cannabis in all acceptable forms produced within the facility.
"The migrated licences from Health Canada allow us to bring to market cannabis products cultivated at our flagship Niagara Facility," said Jay Wilgar, CEO of Newstrike and Up Cannabis. "As we complete the 240,000 square foot retrofit of the Niagara Facility later this year and expand to 455,000 square feet in 2019, we are in a great position to support our provincial partners, meet increasing demand from consumers and expand the Up Cannabis brand."
Up Cannabis products are currently available through licenced provincial retail channels throughout Canada.

#Cannabis after 2018 Midterms - Medical Marijuana laws now adopted in 31 states: DirectView Holdings (OTC: $DIRV), Cronos Group ( $CRON), Tilray ( $TLRY), Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO), (NYSE: $CGC)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - November 9, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering security and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing global opportunity for the cannabis market as new States vote on legalization in the U.S. midterms.
Voters in Missouri approved Amendment 2 on Tuesday, making it the 31st state in the nation to adopt an effective medical marijuana law. The measure was leading 64-36 with 49 percent of precincts reporting when The New York Times called the election.
Effective medical marijuana laws have now been adopted in 31 states, including Missouri, as well as in D.C. and the U.S. territories of Guam, Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands. Eighteen other states have adopted medical marijuana laws that are ineffective because they are either unworkable or exceptionally restrictive. Idaho is the only state without any form of medical marijuana law.
Excited about the momentum, DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC:DIRV), a company focused on ownership and management of leading video and security technology companies, today announced that the Company's CEO, Roger Ralston and CFO, Chris Cutchens, will be attending the 2018 MJ Business Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"The conference, held November 13th to 16th at The Las Vegas Convention Center, is the largest cannabis business conference in the world. MJBizCon is the preeminent conference to drive business deals and forge valuable connections with cannabis professionals in business today. The conference is estimated to house 20,000+ cannabis professionals and 1,000+ exhibitors for the preeminent event for industry professionals."
"DirectView management will attend the conference to meet with Cannabis industry professionals, showcase its state-of-the-art cannabis security and surveillance solutions and discuss the various regulations and mandatory security compliance requirements associated with the quickly evolving industry."
"DirectView recognizes a major opportunity for custom-tailored security, surveillance, access control and safety solutions that meet the regulatory and compliance requirements of the booming cannabis industry. According to the research report " Video Surveillance Market by System (Analog, & IP), Offering (Hardware, Software, & Service), Vertical (Commercial, Infrastructure, Military & Defense, Residential, Public Facility, & Industrial), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023", the overall market is estimated to grow from USD 36.89 Billion in 2018 to USD 68.34 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 13.1% between 2018 and 2023. The increasing concerns for public safety and security, growing adoption of IP cameras, and growing demand for DIY and spy cameras are the key factors driving the video surveillance market growth."
Roger Ralston, President and CEO of DirectView said, "The cannabis industry is quickly taking off here, especially today after the midterm elections and the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. One of the major concerns in the Cannabis industry is Security. DirectView launched its initiative to provide and install custom-tailored security solutions for the cannabis industry. It goes without saying then, that DirectView's attendance at this conference is only natural. We are looking forward to meeting with and networking with industry professionals and educating them on DirectView security and surveillance solutions and the various compliance and regulations associated with the industry."
Paul Rosen, currently the CEO and Chairman of Tidal Royalty, a company that invests in U.S.-based cannabis companies, as well as an original co-founder of the Cronos Group (TSX: CRON), (NASDAQ:CRON) was quoted  as saying, "I believe that Michigan legalizing adult use will one day be viewed as the tipping point towards full legalization at a national level. Aside from the fact that it is the 10th state to legalize adult use - and one of the most populous states in the nation - it is the first Midwest state to do so."
CBS News MoneyWatch took note of these big developments in the cannabis sector and the reaction from investors reporting, "Canadian pot company Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) rose 30 percent on news that U.S. Attorney Jeff Sessions would step down."
The article went on to say how not only were the companies "lifted by midterm ballot measure victories, but Tilray and other cannabis companies rose further on word Sessions had resigned. The nation's top law enforcer last January said he would work to revoke policy from the Obama administration that let states make their own rules on weed without hindrance from the federal government."
Continued: "Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED), (NYSE: CGC) and Aurora Cannabis, two other publicly traded Canadian pot companies, both rallied more than 8 percent.
Stocks in the sector were higher in after- hours trading as well on Wednesday.
As cannabis stocks continue to rise on the news of more and more favorable legislation, investors will be watching and waiting for the next big development; perhaps the passing of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill under a new Democrat House.
Reuters reported, "Collin Peterson, ranking member and presumptive new chair of committee, said passing the crucial agricultural legislation was going to be his top priority, with a deal possible as soon as next week during the lame-duck session."

Cannabis and Beverages: #CBD Beverages to Become $260 million market by 2022: Sproutly (CSE: $SPR.C) (OTCQB: $SRUTF), Hexo (TSX: $HEXO.TO, OTC: $HYYDF), The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: $TGOD.TO), (OTC: $TGODF)


Point Roberts, WA - November 9, 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 growing interest in cannabis infused beverages and water soluble cannabis solutions.
Cannabis may have been federally legalized for recreational use in Canada this fall but many cannabis companies are looking a year into the future at the next big step in the market; October 17th of 2019 when edibles, oils and infused beverage products can join the Canadian recreational market.
How big is the opportunity? A recent Business Insider news article reported, "The marijuana-infused beverages could become a $600 million market in the US in the next four years. Canaccord estimates CBD beverages will become a $260 million market by 2022, and THC-infused beverages a $340 million market."
Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR), (OTC: SRUTF) is looking to capitalize on this opportunity, announcing today that it has completed the development and formulation of an initial portfolio of functional beverages with its proprietary naturally water soluble cannabinoids ("Infuz2O").
From the news: "The beverages combine recently licensed rights for the proprietary water soluble mineral platform ("MiST Platform") with Infuz20. The initial portfolio consists of three separate cannabis / hemp infused beverages that provide the following functions: a) Focused Energy; b) Stress relief and Relaxation; and, c) Restful sleep support."
"The Company is currently in the midst of medicinal and adult-use brand development, including its functional beverage line. The initial beverages will be ready for consumers if and when Health Canada allows consumer beverage products to be legal for sale."
From the news: "The focus of the Company has been to develop beverages that will distinguish our functional beverages from cannabis/ hemp beverages developed by our competitors. Our competitive advantage is to leverage the suite of proprietary water soluble technologies we have acquired, and create a line of consumer products that taste great and have a functional purpose", said Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer. "Our beverages not only cater to the emerging cannabis market but also to the large, functional beverage market that exists today", he added.
Sproutly went on to say, "The functional beverage category is increasingly becoming the popular choice among consumers who are seeking low-calorie, nutrient-dense options as a healthy alternative to traditional beverages. The global functional beverage market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% to US$93.68 billion by 2019, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Cannabis in its own right has a long history of being used as a way for users to address wellness and lifestyle needs. Sproutly's functional beverage formulations address major and growing consumer health and wellness needs for the modern lifestyle."
Looking at competitors, big players are following the money in this sector. On October 1st another cannabis beverage announcement came from Molson Coors Canada, the Canadian business unit of Molson Coors Brewing Company, and HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXOOTC:HYYDF) regarding the closing of the transaction announced on August 1, 2018, to form a joint venture to pursue opportunities to develop non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages for the Canadian market following legalization. The joint venture, Truss, will be led by former Molson Coors executive, Brett Vye, in the role of Chief Executive Officer.
Vye said, "When consumable cannabis is legalized in Canada, Truss will be ready to make its mark as a responsible leader in providing high-quality beverages for the Canadian consumer."
A Business Insider article last week reported that CEO of Molson Coors, Mark Hunter said "The cannabis market could total $7 billion to $10 billion in Canada alone, of which nonalcoholic cannabis-infused beverages could account for as much as $3 billion, or 30% of the total market."     
Sproutly Canada, Inc. has been setting up to enter the beverage space previous to today's news with the company announcing  in August that it had completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Infusion Biosciences Canada Inc. and SSM Partners Inc.
From the news: "We are extremely excited to finalize this Acquisition, enabling Sproutly to commercialize the APP Technology in major regulated markets around the world with innovative cannabis products that target the $50+ billion bottled water and functional beverage market with naturally water soluble molecules from cannabis and hemp", commented Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer of Sproutly."
What separates Sproutly and Infusion Biosciences from other cannabis beverage technologies? In a phrase; water oluble, as referenced in today's news by Keith Dolo, CEO.
This may put Sproutly in a league of their own with regards to their technology but other cannabis companies have been eyeing the beverage sector of the market. But as Dole noted, he is confident he can separate his company from the pack.
Not to be left out, The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD), (OTC: TGODF) also entered the space announcing, back in June of this year, the launch of a global division focused on the beverage industry.
From the news:  "The Green Organic Dutchman Beverage Division will utilize its experience to provide a strategic pathway into the cannabis market for large-scale beverage companies by way of direct investment, joint venture or other suitable opportunities."
Continued: "The focus will be to create industry-leading branded products, and to supply organic base ingredients for use in global beverage brands. Similarities between the cannabis sector, beverage, beverage alcohol and consumer packaged goods industries are apparent. "
As the cannabis market continues its growth curve and legalization allows for more cannabis alternatives, cannabis infused beverages will dramatically change and increase the size of the beverage market of the future.
Technology is key to who gets market share, making it an interesting race for investors to watch.
