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.

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.

Point Roberts, WA - November 29, 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."

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 Newstrike Brands Ltd. (TSX-V:HIP), TrackLoop Analytics Corp. (CSE: TOOL), Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (CSE: CURA)(OTCBB: CURLF) and FSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE) (OTCQB: FSDDF).

Newstrike Brands Ltd. announced that it has entered into an agreement with Peter Neal and Chris Neal and their company, Neal Brothers Inc. ("Neal Brothers") to create a co-branded specialty food products company to develop, market and sell cannabis edibles.

"We are bringing together two established brands and combining our respective strengths in a venture focused on the cannabis edibles sector. The Neal Brothers are innovators with a proven track record of creating a premium brand of products. Through their distribution business, they have also discovered and built several premium brands in the Canadian retail marketplace. We will apply our combined expertise to deliver leading-edge edible cannabis products that will both delight consumers and create shareholder value," said Jay Wilgar, CEO of Newstrike. "Our goal is to become the most trusted consumer focused brand in the Cannabis sector. Through our joint venture with Neal Brothers, we will engage in vast consumer insights, as well as in-house R&D to create real products that will stand the test of time in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) space."

TrackLoop Analytics Corp. announced the launch of its solution for the recreational and medical cannabis industry. TrackLoop's cannabis solution enables licensed producers, logistics providers, and leasing companies to fully ensure the quality of cannabis products from seed to sale.

Combining cold-chain (refrigerated supply chain) monitoring, GPS tracking, and equipment health monitoring, TrackLoop's solution provides real-time data on all aspects of the supply chain including production, transport and retail. The system is fully integrated and compliant with Metrc, the regulatory and compliance system deployed in California, Colorado, Ohio, Alaska, D.C., Oregon, Nevada, Maryland, Michigan and Montana. TrackLoop is currently in the process of becoming a certified Metrc vendor and data provider in most of these jurisdictions.

"The regulated cannabis market in the U.S. represents a huge opportunity for TrackLoop's fully integrated offering. Licensed producers and logistics providers are under increasing pressure from regulators to provide sufficient supply chain data. Furthermore, as customers demand a better-quality product, and competition increases, producers and retailers need to oversee every part of the supply chain, including cold chain monitoring, to ensure they can deliver the best product possible," said Zayn Kalyan, CTO of TrackLoop.

The California market represents nearly a third of the entire North American cannabis market. Estimates suggest that following legalization of recreational cannabis, sales in California will reach $3.7 billion by the end of 2018, and $5.1 billion by the end of 2019.[1] Analysts with Cowen & Co. believe that entire American cannabis market could reach $26 billion by 2026, with California accounting for about $25 billion of that market.

Curaleaf Holdings, Inc., a leading vertically integrated cannabis operator in the United States, announced today that its shares have been approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) and will trade under the symbol "CURLF," effective immediately. The Company also announced that it has applied to up-list its shares to the OTCQX.

Headquartered in Wakefield, Massachusetts, Curaleaf, Inc. has a presence in 12 states. Curaleaf, Inc. operates 33 dispensaries, 12 cultivation sites and 10 processing sites with a focus on highly populated, limited license states, including Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. Curaleaf, Inc. leverages its extensive research and development capabilities to distribute cannabis products in multiple formats with the highest standard for safety, effectiveness, consistent quality and customer care. Curaleaf is committed to being the industry's leading resource in education and advancement through research and advocacy. Curaleaf Inc.'s Florida operations were the first in the cannabis industry to receive the Safe Quality Food certification under the Global Food Safety Initiative, setting a new standard of excellence.

FSD Pharma Inc. announced today that the Company's facility and land located at 520 William Street in Cobourg, Ontario has a Fair Market Value of $105,000,000 according to a recent Comprehensive Property Value Assessment by a commercial real estate assessment specialist issued on November 20, 2018.

Due to the nature of the property, the current value assessment was conducted using the Cost Approach and incorporated property improvements of over $10,000,000 by the Company since acquisition, ongoing Joint Venture Capital Improvements by Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (TSX.V:XLY) of over $50,000,000 and Government-Issued Licenses for the production and sale of cannabis attached to the footprint of the property. Also considered in the assessment were unique features of the site, including its classification as a special use/purpose government food-grade facility with train access directly on the property, an on-site power generating station, and substantial ongoing capital renovations under Health Canada Guidelines and Specifications.

In the opinion of the commercial real estate assessment specialist, the property as a whole at the time of completion and operation of approximately 3,000,000 square feet would have an overall property value of an estimated $420,000,000 (at an average cost of 250 dollars per square foot to build out). At full capacity, the facility is expected to produce 400 million grams of dried cannabis flower per year.
