Point Roberts, WA and Las Vegas, NV - November 26, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering marijuana and hemp stocks issues a sector snapshot looking at multi- geographically located cannabis companies positioning to benefit from the recent headline news Massachusetts makes history with launch of U.S. East Coast's first legal pot shops.

With this recent milestone, investors are looking East for new doors opening in the cannabis market, once dominated by the West Coast.

How big is the opportunity for the players competing for market share? According to an article in GreenMarketReport, "Massachusetts began selling adult use cannabis this week. Industry experts believe that the total Massachusetts cannabis market will exceed $1 billion annually generating hundreds of millions in taxes for the Commonwealth. Massachusetts has a population of 6.8 million people and over 47 million people live within a 4-hour drive of Boston, MA."

The Boston Globe reported, "On Tuesday, the first day of legal marijuana sales in Massachusetts, consumers spent a total of $440,011 at two stores on more than 10,700 individual cannabis products, according to data released by the state Cannabis Control Commission Wednesday afternoon…… Hundreds of customers gathered in long lines at both shops Tuesday and Wednesday, waiting more than three hours in some cases, for the chance to be among the first to buy cannabis legally. NETA and Cultivate each said it had sold out of certain products but still had inventory remaining as of Wednesday afternoon."

CLS Holdings USA (OTCQB: CLSH), a geographically diversified cannabis company is targeting Massachusetts in addition to Michigan and Nevada. The Company just announced in early November that it "has loaned $5 million to In Good Health, a licensed medical dispensary in Brockton, Massachusetts with a significant market share. In Good Health is located 25 miles south of downtown Boston and is one of the 38 licensed dispensaries in the state. The Brockton dispensary was the second licensed dispensary in the state and has been operational since September 2015, which has been medical only up until this time. In Good Health is currently servicing 17,000 registered patients and delivering to 1,700 homes with key product offerings of flower, concentrates, vapes, edibles, pre-rolls and tinctures."

In a recent interview with Investor Ideas, Director of CLS Holdings, Andrew Glashow said, "States for us that make a lot of sense are Massachusetts and Michigan. We have made a strong push to enter the Massachusetts market. We have signed up two transactions in that marketplace. Massachusetts represents for us a massive, massive marketplace; we are aiming for, by 2020, for that to represent $150 Million US plus in total revenue."

Another company taking note of the opportunities in Massachusetts includes Norwood-based MariMed Inc. (OTC: MRMD), a multi-state cannabis operator that develops, owns and manages cannabis facilities and branded products lines. MariMed’s team has developed state-of-the-art regulatory-compliant facilities in DE, IL, NV, MD, MA, and RI.

The company just announced Third Quarter Financials showing a big part of their revenue growth derived from there. " Revenues of approximately $8.4 million, up 88% year-over-year

The increase in revenue was primarily due to (i) the growth of rental income from MariMed’s facilities in Maryland and Massachusetts, which were fully and partially developed respectively and leased to tenants, (ii) increased supply procurement services provided to cannabis-licensed clients and other cannabis entities, and (iii) management fees and additional rental revenue which MariMed earns based on a percentage of revenue generated by its cannabis-licensed clients."

Acreage Holdings (CSE: ACRG.U ), a high profile US company that recently listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, has one of the largest geographic footprints of any cannabis company; currently owning and/or operating cultivation, processing and dispensary operations.

The company, looking at their continuous expansion across the U.S. in 2018 and their milestones reports, "Adult use begins in Maine, Massachusetts and California. Acreage enters New Jersey and prepares for imminent operational expansion in New York, Florida and Maryland. Acreage announces the appointments of former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives John Boehner and former Governor of the State of Massachusetts Bill Weld to its Board of Advisors."

As the map of legalized cannabis in the U.S, expands, with hopes of someday Federal legalization, the race is on for companies to expand their footprint and follow the marijuana money trail.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon, welcome to another Investorideas.com "potcast", featuring stocks to watch, cannabis news as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Today we will be looking at announcements from Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSXV: N)(OTCMKTS: NXTTF), National Access Cannabis Corp. (TSXV: META) and Aleafia Health Inc. (TSXV: ALEF)(OTCQX: ALEAF).

Namaste Technologies Inc. announced that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc., has signed a Product Acquisition Agreement with Weed Me Inc., whereby Cannmart will purchase medical cannabis from Weed Me to offer in its online platform.

Subject to the terms of the Agreement, Cannmart has placed its first order with Weed Me that includes a variety of pre-rolled products in several strains. By creating a unique offering of strains and products sourced from multiple producers, Cannmart offers medical patients more variety of high-quality cannabis products through a single platform. Cannmart has been focused on securing additional products, and in expanding its product categories to include pre-rolls. The Company looks forward to nurturing a long-term supply arrangement with Weed Me, and securing additional supply from their future production.

The Company's goal is for Cannmart to become the leading online marketplace for medical cannabis in Canada by offering the largest selection of product and in offering excellent customer service. With Namaste's technology and Cannmart's platform, the Company believes it is well-positioned to offer significant value as a sales-channel to a broad range of licensed producers across Canada. Namaste's management team is confident in its ability to set itself apart as a true innovator in the cannabis e-commerce space.

National Access Cannabis Corp. today announced it has closed its previously announced brokered private placement offering of special warrants of NAC that entitle the holders thereof to receive 8.00% senior secured convertible debentures of the Company upon exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants. 21,150 Special Warrants were issued at a price of $1,000 per Special Warrant for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $21,150,000. The Offering was led by Cormark Securities Inc., on behalf of a syndicate of agents that included Canaccord Genuity Corp., Beacon Securities Limited, INFOR Financial Inc. and PI Financial Inc. (together, the "Agents"). The net proceeds from the Offering will be used by the Company to repay existing debt.

Aleafia Health Inc. announced that the previously announced joint venture and financing transactions with Serruya Private Equity have closed.

"We look forward to immediately executing on our shared vision of building and scaling a retail cannabis network with immediate national reach and global expansion plans," said Aaron Serruya, a principal of SPE. "We are very excited to once again play an early role in developing one of the world's largest cannabis companies."

"Aleafia made a firm commitment to launch a national adult-use cannabis division with global ambitions. With final approvals now in place, we have delivered on that commitment," said Aleafia CEO Geoffrey Benic. "With commercially proven brands and global retailing expertise, we believe our partnership with Serruya will provide significant value to our shareholders."

The closing formalizes Aleafia's acquisition of a 51 per cent interest in Flying High Brands Inc., a domestic and international cannabis brands joint-venture and a 9.9 per cent interest in One Plant Corp. a Canada-wide cannabis retail joint venture.

The closing also marks the completion of Serruya's $10 million (CAD) strategic investment into Aleafia (by way of the purchase of 5 million common shares at $2.00 per common share) and the completion of Aleafia's $1 million (CAD) investment in Flying High and $4 million (CAD) investment in One Plant. Aleafia purchased its 51 per cent interest in Flying High, in part, by the issuance of 6 million common shares to Serruya.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon, welcome to another Investorideas.com "potcast", featuring stocks to watch, cannabis news as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Today we will be looking at announcements from National Access Cannabis Corp. (TSXV: META), Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSXV: N) and Curaleaf, Inc. (CSE: CURA).

National Access Cannabis Corp., a best-practices leader in delivering secure, safe, and responsible access to legal cannabis in Canada, today announced that another eight NewLeaf Cannabis™ retail locations have received cannabis retail licenses and are expected to open this week in Alberta and one new Meta Cannabis Supply Co™ ("META") store has received a cannabis retail license and is expected to open this week in Manitoba. The addition of nine new stores more than doubles the national number of NAC-owned and licensed cannabis retail stores to 17 - the most of any cannabis retailer in the country, excluding the Government of New Brunswick.

NAC is looking to open a total of 50 locations between META and NewLeaf across Canada by the end of the year and plans to have a total of 150 retail locations operational during 2019, subject to regulatory approvals. With the aligned brand values of META and NewLeaf, NAC is well-positioned to support Canadian consumers and usher in a new era of responsible cannabis consumption.

"NAC, META and NewLeaf have quickly become established and effective leaders in Canada's cannabis retail market," said Mark Goliger, CEO of NAC. "We have a bold vision to lead recreational cannabis retail in this country and to date we have backed that up in a big way."

Namaste Technologies Inc. announced that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. has signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with 1181530 BC Ltd. to acquire the domain Buds2go.ca. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, Cannmart purchased the Buds2go.ca domain along with social media accounts and all intellectual property in connection therewith including trademark applications in exchange for a cash payment of $300,000. The 1181530 BC Ltd. management team signed a 6-month consulting agreement to assist with integration and operations.

The acquisition of Buds2go.ca is strategic in nature as the domain has established high-ranking organic search results for many targeted and valuable keywords, and supports the Company's vision to become a global leader in cannabis e-commerce and technology. The Buds2go.ca domain receives approximately 400,000 site visits per month, with an average visit duration of 6 minutes and a bounce-rate of roughly 31%. The site visits, search traffic and SEO rankings of Buds2go.ca would be difficult to replicate and provide strong long-term value for the company.

The Company reported that it has also concurrently completed an integration with the Buds2go.ca domain and has launched a new website which is powered by Cannmart. This will allow patients to order products from Buds2go.ca through a regulated channel and have access to inventory fed directly through Cannmart. Further to the Company's October 29th, 2018 news release, Cannmart signed a Patient Services Agreement with 1181530 BC Ltd. to offer users access to the Company's online telemedicine platform, NamasteMD Inc.

Curaleaf, Inc., one of the largest and fastest growing vertically integrated cannabis operators in the United States, today announced the launch of Curaleaf Hemp, a line of premium hemp-based CBD products.

Curaleaf Hemp was developed by an experienced team of scientists and product experts. The natural, non-intoxicating products meet the strictest quality standards and are derived from hemp farmed in the United States. Curaleaf Hemp's products are made with simple, natural ingredients and are infused with essential oils such as lavender, lemon, jasmine, ginger and vanilla to add an additional layer of benefits for overall wellness.

The range of products are available for purchase online at www.curaleafhemp.com and at select retailers nationwide.

The company also announced today that the Company has continued its expansion in Arizona by acquiring dispensary operator Midtown Roots. Midtown Roots is the only dispensary located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, and is easily accessible across the street from the Thomas/Central Ave light rail public transit stop. It will be Curaleaf's 5th dispensary in the Phoenix metro area and the 33rd Curaleaf dispensary nationwide.

With the acquisition of dispensary operator Midtown Roots, Curaleaf has now served over 70,000 patients in Arizona between its 5 locations.

"Curaleaf is a leading medical cannabis brand that is recognized across the country for its quality and expertise," said Steve Cottrell, president of Curaleaf Arizona. "With this rebrand, we will bring additional resources to Midtown Roots to support upgrades that will enhance the patient experience as well as the continued education of our staff."

Current Midtown Roots patients can anticipate the same experience they've come to know and love; friendly budtenders, great products and community events, such as regular meditation classes and bingo, will all continue under the new name. To celebrate, Curaleaf Midtown will host a Grand Opening Party on Friday, November 30

Investorideas.com - #CBD Stocks to Watch - Pain Treatment and Sports Medicine: Orion Nutraceuticals (CSE: $ORI.C), Aurora (TSX: $ACB.TO), CannTrust (TSX: $TRST.TO), Kalytera (TSXV: $KALY.V)

#CBD Stocks to Watch - Pain Treatment and Sports Medicine: Orion Nutraceuticals (CSE: $ORI.C), Aurora (TSX: $ACB.TO), CannTrust (TSX: $TRST.TO), Kalytera (TSXV: $KALY.V)

Point Roberts, WA and Kelowna, BC - November 21, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource for cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at CBD and its future role as a pain treatment in healthcare, and how it is being advocated and embraced by professional athletes.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) officially removed cannabidiol (CBD) from its Prohibited Substances List effective January 1, 2018 and that has opened up a lot of opportunity for athletes looking for more natural pain treatment solutions and companies in the space.

In June of this year, The BIG3 basketball league announced they will allow players to use cannabidiol (CBD) as a pain treatment and for recovery. "The BIG3 is uniquely positioned in professional sports as a player-powered league that looks at our players as partners not property," BIG3 co-founder and co-CEO Jeff Kwatinetz said in a statement. "As a testament to our relationship with our players, we listened to their feedback on CBD, as well as feedback from professionals in the regulatory and CBD industry, and decided to take this major step to support their health."

NFL Players are some of the biggest advocates of the use of CBD for pain and sports injuries and as a Washington Post article explains, "No professional sport has so many outspoken proponents of marijuana's medicinal qualities, but then again, no sport is as closely associated with pain and injury."

Looking at capitalizing on the CBD market opportunity, cannabis life science company Orion Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE: ORI), just announce today it is entering the sports medicine CBD market with the addition of Shannon Ford-Smith, sports healthcare and CBD product expert to its advisory board.

From the news: Shannon Ford-Smith has a uniquely diverse background that includes education, construction, consumer goods as well as experience building and leading companies in the sports healthcare sector. She has over a decade of experience building, leading and establishing business direction.

Continued: Throughout her career she has developed deep market insight into the healthcare field. Her recent executive role at Floydʼs of Leadville as Director of Business Development includes the development of Aeliza (a medical grade CBD product line) and oversight of the Companyʼs expansion and growth into the Canadian market, hiring and leading the execution of a common vision of success while mitigating risk. She spearheaded development of the Aeliza line and personally oversaw every detail, from product development and formulation, manufacturing, business development, marketing, strategy, as well as bridging the gap between the medical world and cannabis.

Continued: "We are extremely pleased to add Shannon Ford-Smith to Orion Nutraceutical's advisory board", said Jonathan Fiteni, CEO of Orion. "Her impressive resume includes a strong background in both healthcare and business development. Shannon's experience in creating the CBD product line Aeliza will prove instrumental in the creation of Orion's own sports medicine CBD product lines."

Also looking at CBD for pain treatment, Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB) and McGill University announced in August, the launch of an international collaborative medical research project that will comprehensively examine the therapeutic impact and human health outcomes of cannabidiol (CBD) oil as a therapy for chronic pain and related anxiety and depression.

From the news: "Based on our extensive experience with more than 60,000 registered Canadian patients, we believe CBD to be one of the most impactful medical compounds to become legally available to people in need of non-addictive therapies to treat pain," stated Terry Booth, CEO. "Our support for and involvement with this project underlines Aurora's leadership in the medical cannabis space, as well as our long-term commitment to a science-based approach to deepen understanding of this amazing substance."

Taking a similar path and partnering with a major University, CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST), partnered with McMaster University on medicinal cannabis research for chronic pain and for designing more effective, safer treatment protocols in public health policies.

The race is on for companies in the sector and new advancements are being made. In late September, Kalytera Therapeutics, Inc. (TSX V: KALY ) (OTCQB: KALTF) announced a major step forward in its program to develop the first cannabinoid-derived pain treatment targeting activation of alpha3 glycine receptors.

"When activated, the alpha3 glycine receptor strongly blocks pain signals from being sent to the brain. Kalytera, and its research partner, Beetlebung Pharma Ltd. ("BPL"), have carried out a medicinal chemistry program to identify a novel analogue of cannabidiol ("CBD") that will block such pain signals via the activation of the alpha3 glycine receptor channel in the spinal cord. To date, no company has introduced into the market an agent specifically targeting this receptor."

As far as CBD's role in sports, it is really just the beginning. According to an article in SportsNet , "Former star NFL running back Ricky Williams thinks cannabis legalization in Canada is "a huge step forward" towards professional sports leagues like the NFL softening their stances on athletes using marijuana therapeutically."
