#CBD #Beverage Market and the 2018 Farm Bill Speculation: American Premium Water (OTC: $HIPH), Kona Gold Solutions (OTC: $KGKG), New Age Beverage ( $NBEV), Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - November 27, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing global opportunity for CBD beverages, with a focus on the US market and its potential explosive growth amid the much speculated and talked about passing of the 2018 Farm Bill.

The Hemp Farming Act of 2018 which will remove hemp as a designated controlled substance, legalizing the crop under federal law, will allow CBD to be legally sold in all 50 states. The main benefit seen from this change will be the increased opportunity for investment, providing the hemp industry with access to a full range of financial, market development and advisory services that were previously unavailable because of its classification as a controlled substance.

Looking at its current market position in CBD beverages and the potential moving forward if the Farm Bill passes, American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH) announced yesterday that "its LALPINA CBD beverage will be sold with Fit Food Fresh (https://www.fitfoodfresh.com) in southern Florida along with its fresh prepared food plans. Fit Food Fresh which is the highest rated food delivery program in South Florida, services customers Palm Beach, Dade, Broward and Martin counties, which according the latest census figures, comprises 6,318,747 residents, the largest population concentration in Florida."

Fishoff continued saying, "It has been a busy week since I got back from the MJBIZ conference. The partnership with Fit Food Fresh is the second significant distribution deal that the Company has closed in as many weeks." (The Company announced on November 14th it will be featured in New York City's first ever CBD pop-up shop).

New Age Beverages Corporation (NASDAQ: NBEV), announced in October that the results of its CBD-infused portfolio during the North American Convenience Store show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, October 7-10, 2018.

"New Age was the 2nd most visited and searched booth out of 1,259 exhibitors at the show and ranked in the 100th percentile in terms of booth popularity, despite debuting their new CBD-Infused products offsite at the hotel connected to the convention center. At NACS, New Age displayed their full portfolio of one-stop-shop healthy beverages and unveiled their "Live Healthy" campaign at the same time to unprecedented response and outranking some of the major other food and beverage companies at the show including Coca-Cola, Red-Bull, Monster, AB InBev, Campbells, and more than 1,000 others."

Investor Ideas discussed the importance of branding with Ryan Fishoff of American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH) at the MJBiz Conference, where he mentioned what differentiates Lalpina, the Company's premium CBD beverage lifestyle brand, with over a million Instagram (instagram.com/lalpinabrands) followers. "I dare for you to find another CBD cannabis lifestyle brand with anything close to that following. We know how to market and we have partners that know how to market."

Their marketing and branding competitive edge, in addition to their acquisition strategy resulted in an analyst upgrade, with a target Price of $0.30 in mid- October. SeeThruEquity said, "We see HIPH as an intriguing speculative growth company targeting large consumer opportunities in the CBD, blockchain and lifestyle consumer goods markets."

Another competitor in the CBD space and betting on its long term growth, Kona Gold Solutions, Inc. (OTC: KGKG), a hemp and CBD lifestyle brand focused on product development in the functional beverage sector, recently discussed the company's two hundred and twenty-five percent (225%) increase in revenue from the previous month on thirty-two thousand dollars ($32,000) in sales. The Company recorded its strongest month-to-date off of the signing of new distribution partners and extremely strong sales of its popular Kona Gold Hemp Energy Drinks and HighDrate CBD Energy Waters. The Company has also seen an eight-seven percent (87%) increase in sales on Amazon.com over the last 30 days and a two hundred and ninety-two percent (292%) from this time last year.

The potential supply and demand increase available from the 2018 Farm Bill is not being overlooked, even Canadian based companies are examining the potential growth in the US. In a recent Motley Fool article it was reported, "Hemp production would be a natural fit for Canopy Growth (TSX:WEED) (NYSE:CGC). Constellation and Canopy have talked about launching a wide variety of cannabis-infused beverages in Canada. But if the 2018 Farm Bill becomes the law of the land, the two partners might also be able to legally launch beverages containing cannabidiol (CBD) made from hemp in the much-bigger U.S. market. Canopy Growth also wouldn't have to worry about being delisted on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The company would still be able to adhere to the TSX's listing requirements and its own commitment to only market cannabis products where they're federally legal."

With companies like these wasting no time in the interim to capitalize on branding and international opportunities in the CBD market, there is a lot at stake with the potential passing of the US Farm Bill. If it becomes law, it has the potential to alter the global beverage market as well as the landscape of the US Farm Belt.

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 LiveWell Canada Inc. (TSXV:LVWL), CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) and Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSXV:N) (OTCMKTS:NXTTF).

LiveWell Canada Inc. has been approved to list its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE). As a result, the Company will voluntarily delist its common shares from the TSXV. The transition will happen seamlessly, with LiveWell listing on the CSE starting today and the delisting from the TSXV will take place in the near future.

Moving to the CSE will allow LiveWell to accelerate its growth plans to become a global leader in the CBD market without restrictions on operating in certain international markets.

"LiveWell is preparing for its transformative progression to a global life sciences company leveraging robust CBD supply chain production capacity, while focusing on a brand development strategy that prioritizes functional products and outcomes," said David Rendimonti, President and CEO of LiveWell Canada Inc. "The CSE embraces transforming companies like LiveWell who are growing beyond the Canadian borders," he added.

Legalization and acceptance of CBD for its health and wellness benefits are accelerating at a rapid pace globally. CBD derived from hemp faces fewer legal restrictions worldwide than cannabis. The Brightfield Group of Chicago estimates the North American market alone for CBD from hemp could reach US$22 billion by 2022. While hemp cultivation, processing and sale activities are currently legal in the U.S., as per the State Farm Act, the anticipated passage of the Hemp Farming Act of 2018 would legalize hemp federally before the end of the year and essentially create the same business environment for hemp as any other agricultural commodity.

CannTrust Holdings Inc., one of Canada's leading and most trusted licensed producers of cannabis, announced today that it has shipped its standardized CBD oil capsules to Australia's Gold Coast University Hospital. The capsules will be used in a study to determine the efficacy of CannTrust CBD oil capsules in slowing the disease progression in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Motor Neuron Disease (MND), which was first announced by the Company in July 2018. The capsules will be imported, stored and distributed by PharmaCann Pty Ltd ("PharmaCann"). The shipment will include all investigational products that are required for the study.

This study exemplifies CannTrust's focus on medical research and its dedication to uncovering the medicinal value of its proprietary cannabis products, and how they can improve health and well-being for all. In addition to assessing ALS disease progression, the study will also look at the effects of CannTrust CBD oil capsules on a variety of outcome measures related to ALS such as spasticity, pain, weight loss and quality of life. The CBD strain which will be used in the study was developed by CannTrust from its proprietary genetics, meaning that the research results will be specific to the Company's CBD oil.

Canopy Growth Corporation has closed the previously announced acquisition of the assets of ebbu, Inc. ("ebbu"), a leader in hemp research and innovation.

Intellectual Property ("IP") and R&D advancements achieved by ebbu's team apply directly to Canopy Growth's hemp and THC-rich cannabis genetic breeding program and its cannabis-infused beverage capabilities. In addition, ebbu's IP portfolio will contribute to the clinical formulations program executed by Canopy Health Innovations, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Canopy Growth operates a rapidly emerging, field-scale hemp operation based in Saskatchewan and by applying ebbu's IP, the Company has the potential to vastly reduce the cost of CBD production, a sought-after cannabinoid in both the wellness and medical spaces.

Staying with Canopy Growth's long-held position on business operations in the United States, this transaction would not have been finalized were it not in clear accordance with US federal law, along with the requisite exchange consent by the TSX. Canopy Growth, through a newly formed subsidiary, will employ ebbu's assets and personnel to conduct R&D. There will be no production or sale of products resulting from such R&D in the United States unless and until it would be federally legal to do so.

Namaste Technologies Inc. announced that the Company has signed a Subscription Agreement, whereby the Company has completed an investment of $250,000 to acquire 46,729 Class B common shares of Kief Cannabis Company Ltd. at a cost of $5.35 per share. Namaste's investment represents approximately 3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Kief Cannabis, based on an $8.1 million valuation.

Further to the Company's August 29, 2018 news release where Namaste's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. signed a medical cannabis Supply Agreement to purchase premium medical cannabis products from Kief Cannabis for sale on its online platform, Cannmart will now also have the right of first refusal ("ROFR") on 35% of the total production of cannabis from Kief Cannabis.

This investment and additional security of supply bolsters Namaste's objective to become Canada's premier online medical cannabis retailer. In September, the Company received its ACMPR Sale for Medical Purposes licence, the first of its kind to be issued by Health Canada, allowing Canadian customers the ability to purchase medical cannabis from wide assortment of licensed producers through Namaste's platform, giving consumers the power of choice rather than having to register with just one LP.

Management of SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: $SING) at Podcast Row, #MJBizCon, Talk about the Growth of the Sector and their Company and the Big Opportunity in #CBD

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 and its cannabis podcast site www.potcasts.ca, report from Podcast Row in Las Vegas at this year's biggest MJBizCon show to date. Today's special edition features an interview with the management of SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING), Mr. Gregory P. Lambrecht Founder, Chairman, CEO and Mr. William Ralston, President and Director discuss the growth of the MJBizCon conference, the industry and their company.

Attending since the first year of MJBizCon, Ralston and Lambrecht have both witnessed first-hand the growth of the sector. Looking at their entry into the cannabis space Ralston said, "SinglePoint's history was always mobile payments, text messaging and mobile technology. When Colorado and Washington opened up selling cannabis, we thought lets go after that business. We had a mobile payments technology, they need these payment solutions and a lot of people were afraid to touch it. So we jumped in."

"We acquired GreenStar Payment Solutions and started SingleSeed that we eventually rolled GreenStar into. And there we were, processing payments in the cannabis market. From there we continued to grow and acquired DIGS. We really are an ancillary pick and shovel company and that's where we see a lot of the opportunity."

Talking about the CBD market Ralston told Investor Ideas, "SingleSeed.com is selling all of our CBD based products and we are looking at adding other brands to that site to become the e-commerce hub distributing these products."

He we went on to say, "We see a huge opportunity in the market and there may be a larger market there, as there are still a lot of people that don't want to use cannabis yet. The latest numbers that we saw are tremendous; it's almost at 40% of the cannabis market and it's just catching on. We are not only looking at selling these products but also looking at acquisitions that for us, would open up the floodgates."

In closing Lambrecht talks about their ambitious acquisition plans to add significant revenue to the company's bottom line and to uplist.

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - November 26, 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 CBD consumable products as regulations move towards global acceptance of CBD products.

Cannabis is fast becoming a growing sector, both in the medicinal and recreational sectors. As much as certain states and countries have begun to regulate this potential giant industry, CBD and specifically hemp strains of cannabis have begun to overshadow the general cannabis sector.

Seeing the opportunity at the start of 2018, EnviroTechnologies International, Inc., a publicly traded company (OTC: ETII) that develops and markets green, natural and organic products for diverse industries first announced the acquisition of CBD Health Co. (www.cbdhealthco.com), a company that markets and sells high quality and proprietary hemp-based, natural CBD health products, as a wholly owned subsidiary.

One of the products that uniquely position them as a public company is the CBD Hemp Protein , which caters to the health and sports markets. According to an article discussing its benefits "hemp-one of the most versatile plants on earth-offers a high-quality, eco-friendly source that can support muscle gain, fat loss, and peak performance."

EnviroTechnologies International updated shareholders on this acquisition in today's news. "We acquired CBD Health Co. because our company was founded to use green and natural products to make our environment safer and promote products that improve our quality of life," said Gaylord Karren, ETI's CEO. "And CBD Oil products have the potential to not only improve quality of their users' lives but also create enormous revenues for our company and its shareholders."

Continued: "For some time, experts have been making predictions about the global CBD market and the expanding acceptance of CBD as a natural health product. And some have predicted, specifically that the entire cannabis market could reach $20 billion by 2020 if the market expands at its current rate," said Randall Waters, ETI's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "However, recent studies by the Brightfield Group, a company that specializes in providing data and information about the cannabis and CBD markets, avers that the hemp-based CBD market alone could reach $22 billion by 2022."

Continued: "We see the markets for true hemp-based CBD products such as those produced by CBD Health, continuing to grow and the purchasing demographic multiplying over the next 3-4 years. We are satisfied that CBD Health is on the forefront of this incredible market and that we can tap into this new, accepted hemp-based CBD natural products," said Waters.

Puration, Inc. (OTC: PURA), another company in the CBD space, recently released more details regarding its corporate restructuring to concentrate resources on its rapidly expanding cannabis infused beverage business.

Puration, Inc. is a leading Texas-based CBD-infused beverage provider, with the flagship product being EVERx, which Puration debuted early last year at Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Arnold Sports Festival'. EVERx has since become the leading CBD infused beverage in the sports nutrition marketplace. The Company recently spun-off its cannabis cultivation segment to focus its efforts exclusively on its high-growth core CBD-infused beverage business.

CV Sciences Inc. (OTC:CVSI), operates as a life science company through two segments, Specialty Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Products. The company focuses on developing and commercializing prescription drugs utilizing synthetic cannabidiol (CBD) as the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Its initial drug candidate is CVSI-007 that combines CBD and nicotine for the treatment of smokeless tobacco use and addiction. The company also engages in the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of consumer products containing plant-based CBD under the PlusCBD Oil name in various market sectors, including nutraceutical, beauty care, specialty foods and vape.

CEO Joseph Dowling discussed the company's Q3 Earnings Report earlier this month saying that, "The momentum from the first half of 2018 has continued and we anticipate a strong finish for the remainder of the year. Through our dedication and commitment to providing the most trusted brand of hemp CBD products we have achieved strong momentum in sales and brand recognition of our plus CBD product line. Our strategic priorities for 2018 include strengthening our distribution channels, growing our brand relevance and recognition, developing new products, penetrating new vertical sales channels and gaining market share in the fastest growing product category in the nutritional supplement industry."

Even larger scale companies such as the Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF) earlier this year expanded their CBD output by signing a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of privately-held HemPoland.

HemPoland is a leading European manufacturer and marketer of premium organic CBD oils led by founder and CEO, Maciej Kowalski, one of Europe's most widely recognized CBD experts. This strategic acquisition provides access to HemPoland's vast distribution network, premium Cannabigold brand, state-of-the-art hemp oil extraction technologies and provides a strategic pathway into the European market for TGOD's medical & recreational products and licensing deals.

As the CBD trend continues to rise, companies may realize the benefit of focusing strictly on the CBD/Hemp sector. Often noted as a sleeping giant in discussions, consumer awareness and education, plus potential legislative acceptance moves, including the 2018 Farm Bill, will make this a big story for investors moving forward.
