Today's podcast overview/transcript:

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

Today we will be looking at announcements from AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (CSE: AGRA) (OTCPK: PUFXF), Aphria Inc. (TSX:APHA) (NYSE:APHA), The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (TSXV: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF), Liht Cannabis Corp. (CSE: LIHT) (OTCQX: LIHTF) and SOL Global Investments Corp. (CSE: SOL) (OTCQB: SOLCF).

AgraFlora Organics International Inc., a growth oriented and diversified international cannabis company, announced that Propagation Services Canada has executed its first propagation supply agreement with Alta-Sun Samson Holdings Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cabbay Holdings Corp. The agreement calls for Propagation Services Canada to supply high-CBD cannabis plants for a 5-acre outdoor grow operation near Edmonton, Alberta.

"Having the ability to acquire high quality propagation plants for our outdoor cannabis operation near Edmonton, AB is a significant advantage for our business," said Andrew Morin Head Grower, Alta-Sun Samson Holdings Corp. and son of the former Chief of Enoch Cree Nation. "We can focus our efforts on the growing the highest quality cannabis for our primary customers without the overhead of planting and propagating our own cannabis seedlings. The timeline for AgraFlora's retrofit of their large-scale greenhouse works well with our application for a cultivation license and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership with AgraFlora and Propagation Services Canada."

"With the first phase of the retrofit of the 2,200,000 sq. ft. greenhouse complex scheduled for completion mid-2019, we are taking the necessary steps of establishing a customer base for our medical cannabis flower and propagating plants," said Derek lvany, President and CEO, AgraFlora Organics International. "Cabbay Holdings is Propagation Services Canada's first propagation customer and follows on the recently announced medical cannabis supply agreement with Namaste Technologies. 2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for AgraFlora and we will continue to expand the pipeline of premium customers for our high-quality cannabis products."

Aphria Inc. today announced that its Colombian subsidiary, Colcanna SAS has signed an exclusive agreement with the Federación Médica Colombiana ("FMC"), a national guild that oversees the ethical exercise of the medical profession in Colombia, to jointly develop an academic curriculum on the medicinal use of cannabis.

"Education in the medical community is critical for sustaining the advancement of medical cannabis in Colombia" said Gabriel Meneses, Vice President, LATAM & Caribbean at Aphria. "Colcanna is proud to make this exclusive arrangement with Federación Médica Colombiana, which will offer doctors and medical professionals across the country a credible and trusted source of information and training on medical cannabis."

The FMC has nearly 2,000 affiliated doctors and a database of more than 70,000 medical professionals that access the organization for research and educational resources, including through a virtual platform that offers certified courses on a range of subjects. The medical cannabis curriculum developed by Colcanna and FMC will be made accessible on this platform and will be supported by scientific events for the medical community.

The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. announced that as of calendar year-end, 7ACRES has 19 completed flowering rooms and is on track for all 25 flowering rooms to be completed in March 2019. Once completed, 7ACRES will have a greenhouse footprint of approximately 300,000 square feet, with the total facility reaching over 440,000 square feet. Supreme Cannabis expects 7ACRES to reach its estimated annual output of 50,000 kg by the middle of calendar 2019.

"We are thrilled with the progress made at our facility in Kincardine, Ontario and are excited to announce that we are nearing completion for all of our flowering rooms," said John Fowler, President & Founder of Supreme Cannabis. "In our view, 7ACRES sets the international standard for cannabis cultivation and allows us to grow craft-quality cannabis at scale. We believe consumer behaviour has validated our thesis that people prefer higher-quality flower and are willing to pay more for it, and as the market expands for derivative products such as vape pens and edibles we expect consumers will prefer products extracted from the highest quality inputs."

Liht Cannabis Corp. announced that Marapharm Washington LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of Liht Cannabis Corp., executed a Letter of Intent on December 18th, 2018, with a Canadian company that has developed "Biospherical Systems" which control and enhance cannabis cultivation.

In reference to the news release dated December 19, 2016, the Company has entered into a LOI which would provide their state certified tenant, AlphaPheno, with a vertically equipped facility, maximizing the capacity of its 28,000 sq. ft footprint in 2019.

The Provider will design, fabricate, supply and install an advanced "Biospherical System". The system incorporates proprietary technologies which can provide logistical, operational and financial benefits to the Company, over standard industry practices. This comprehensive agreement includes, commissioning and warranty of their equipment and future service required to facilitate operations. The pre-determined value of the systems is approximately $7,500,000 USD.

A definitive agreement formalizing this arrangement will be finalized within the coming weeks. Compensation will be in the form of royalties, and leaseback financing provisions; no compensation will be stock based; the final terms will be determined by the definitive agreement.

SOL Global Investments Corp. announced an investment in and strategic partnership with European medical cannabis company, GreenLight Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

GreenLight, which was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, is a vertically-integrated medical cannabis company with a clinical research and development operation led by Dr. James Linden, a seed genetics program, cultivation operations, and CBD brand and distribution operations.

Under the terms of the transaction, SOL Global will acquire a 25 percent stake in the equity of GreenLight for €1.8 million, with an option to increase its stake to 51 percent.

In addition, SOL Global has also acquired an option to acquire a 75 percent stake in a future GreenLight subsidiary that successfully obtains a cannabis cultivation license in Ireland or Northern Ireland for an aggregate exercise price of approximately €1 million. SOL Global director Rob Reid and Chief Medical Officer Michael Barnes will join the board of GreenLight Pharmaceuticals.

"SOL Global is excited to partner with the clinical research team at GreenLight as they continue to develop R&D programs throughout Europe. As society continues to delve into the future of using cannabis medicinally, GreenLight plans to be instrumental in forming industry-leading solutions and therapies. With members of SOL Global's team joining GreenLight's board, we look forward to working together to further develop and enhance GreenLight's leadership position in Europe's nascent medical cannabis industry," stated Brady Cobb, SOL Global CEO.

Investorideas.com - The Seeds of a New Era for #Cannabis and #Hemp in the U.S. - Companies Poised to Capitalize in 2019 and Beyond ( $SING) (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC) ( $TLRY) ($CRON)

The Seeds of a New Era for #Cannabis and #Hemp in the U.S. - Companies Poised to Capitalize in 2019 and Beyond ( $SING) (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC) ( $TLRY) ($CRON)

A Big Idea can start with a Single Seed...

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 2, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a 2019 outlook for the sector as the 2018 US Farm Bill law plants the seeds of a new era for the US markets.

According to New Frontier Data, "The 2018 Farm Bill will restore industrial hemp to nationwide legal production for the first time since World War II, offering vast opportunities for the industry and investment in a market expected to triple in four years."

Continued: With the removal of hemp from federal prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA), the total U.S. hemp industry now looks to expand at a healthy 18.4% through a 5-year combined annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2018-2022. New Frontier Data's Hemp Business Journal estimates that, in leading all hemp product categories, the hemp-derived CBD market will grow from a $390 million-dollar market in 2018, to a $1.3 billion market (or 3.3x) by 2022, representing a 27.2% 5-year CAGR.

SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) just stated in recent news, "This is a huge win and opportunity for us. The company's subsidiary SingleSeed.com is an ecommerce-based business that sells and supplies industrial-based hemp cannabidiol (CBD) products. As hemp has become more mainstream and now a fully federally legal commodity the company plans to add more to its offering. Ranging from Biofuel to construction materials to extracting cannabidiol used to treat various ailments and wellbeing, industrial hemp now has an opportunity to be competitive in the global marketplace."

They also said, "Looking ahead to 2019, SinglePoint management is seeking new deals and currently negotiating potential acquisitions across different sectors and will continue to grow revenue through its acquisition model. Management is confident revenue growth through hemp-based initiatives will be successful through 2019 and beyond."

Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth Corporation, the world's largest diversified hemp and cannabis company, (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC ) commented on the passage of the Farm Bill saying, "Canopy Growth commends the United States government for passing the Farm Bill, a transformative piece of legislation that will create jobs and meaningful economic impact across the United States."

Continued: "Thanks to a deep hemp-specific portfolio of intellectual property acquired from Colorado-based ebbu Inc. and a landmark investment of USD $4 billion from Constellation Brands, management believes it is well-positioned to enter the US market quickly."

Canadian-based Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), a global leader in cannabis research and production said in December following a flurry of deal flow, "The Farm Bill in the U.S. presents an opportunity to enter the hemp-derived CBD industry and capitalize on an estimated US$22 billion market. Tilray has the expertise, team and supply in place to pursue this opportunity and looks forward to potentially expanding its product offerings to include hemp-derived CBD in U.S."

Another Canadian-based player, with a presence across five continents, Cronos Group

(NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) is on most investors' watch list following recent news of a C$2.4 billion strategic investment from Altria Group, Inc.

Following the news, during the company's conference call, Graeme Kreindler from Eight Capital asked about Altria's experience in the US market and how it would play a role. "So I was wondering if there's been any discussions about what that could mean for Cronos in the event of a passing of a farm bill here, on a strategic initiative there?"

Cronos Group's CEO Mike Gorenstein said, "Sure. I think any market, it's great being able to draw from that experience. One of the things that we found is going to be really important is the experience that Altria has dealing with agencies like the FDA and making sure that, again, we follow all the steps, we follow the right processes to make sure that we're bringing products on in a responsible fashion and in collaboration with regulators. So I think that will be very, very important for us."

With headlines like,' 'Financial cascade': How the U.S. farm bill could unleash a multi-billion dollar CBD business overnight' investors are looking to 2019 as a big year for cannabis stocks but as always, are reminded to keep their feet firmly planted in the ground with some due diligence.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:

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

Today we are looking at announcements from Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN), (OTCQB: KHRNF), Bevo Agro Inc. (TSXV: BVO), The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS), Kali, Inc. (USOTC: KALY), Nouveau Life Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (USOTC: NOUV) and Sunniva Inc. (CSE:SNN) (OTCQB:SNNVF).

Khiron Life Sciences Corp., an integrated medical cannabis company with its core operations in Colombia, announced today that the Company has been added to the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF, marking the Company's elevation to the senior index of publicly traded North American companies with significant business activity in the cannabis industry.

HMMJ is an index ETF, which seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the North American Marijuana Index, net of expenses. This index is designed to provide exposure to the performance of a basket of North American publicly listed life sciences companies with significant business activities in the Marijuana industry. The North American Marijuana Index selects from a current universe of companies that have operations that may include one or more of biopharmaceuticals, medical manufacturing, distribution, bio-products and other ancillary businesses related to the Marijuana industry.

Bevo Agro Inc. announced that, further to its press release dated October 4, 2018, it has received the requisite shareholder approval of the previously announced proposed reverse take-over of Bevo by Sun Pharm Investments Ltd. and spin out of Bevo's interest in CubicFarm Systems Corp. to the shareholders of Bevo by way of a plan of arrangement. Such approval was obtained at the annual and special meeting of Bevo shareholders held on December 27, 2018, where Bevo shareholders that casted votes at the Meeting voted 100% in favour of the Reverse Take-Over and 100% in favour of the Plan of Arrangement.

In addition, the requisite final court order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia has been obtained in respect of the Plan of Arrangement. Bevo and Sun Pharm expect that the Reverse Take-Over and the Plan of Arrangement will close and become effective during the first half of January 2019, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. As disclosed, Bevo has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for completion of the Reverse Take-over.

The Yield Growth Corp. announced that its proprietary sunscreen formula has passed the United States Federal Drug Agency (FDA) broad spectrum test which provides a clinical vitro measurement to confirm the ability of the product to perform against both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30.

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, SPF 30 product blocks 97% of UVB rays. Both the American Academy of Dermatology and the Canadian Dermatology Association advise using a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Sunscreen products that pass the FDA broad spectrum test are allowed to be labeled as "Broad Spectrum", meaning they protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

Yield Growth subsidiary Urban Juve's sunscreen contains mainly natural ingredients and is free of petrochemicals, phthalates, propylene glycol, sulfates and parabens. Yield Growth subsidiary UJ Topicals has the rights to infuse this sunscreen formula with Cannabidiol (CBD).

According to Statista, the global sun care market value was approximately $15.83 billion U.S. dollars in 2015, and is forecasted to reach $24.91 billion by 2024.

Kali, Inc. and Nouveau Life Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced that the two companies anticipate up to $5 million in revenue from their hemp cultivation and extraction venture. The two companies recently announced an agreement to expand NOUV's current cultivation operations to include 100 adjacent acers dedicated to growing hemp under the new Farm Bill legalizing hemp farming just signed into law by President Trump. KALY will construct a CBD extraction facility on site based on KALY's patented extraction process. In addition to the outdoor hemp cultivation, NOUV will build a state-of-the-art greenhouse operation intended for the development of a proprietary hemp cultivar. Industry sources, including a Forbes article published today titled Cannabis Companies Expect Big Growth After Trump Legalizes Hemp, indicate hemp farming could yield $50,000 per acre from the combination of CBD extraction and other uses of hemp. KALY and NOUV's 100 acers hemp cultivation operation could yield $5 million at that rate.

KALY produces pharmaceutical grade cannabis extracts that have been involved in multiple clinical trials in addition to utilizing its patented cannabis extraction process in the production of CBD infused nutrition and wellness products to include its own Hemp4mula and CBD infused waters produced by Puration, Inc. (USOTC: PURA).

Sunniva Inc., a North American provider of cannabis products and services, announced today the closing of the previously reported 100% acquisition of LTYR Logistics, LLC, a California-based cannabis distribution company.

LTYR's strong leadership and proven ability to effectively execute growth strategies and utilize its distribution capabilities within the cannabis space are the primary drivers of this acquisition. LYTR will play an instrumental role in driving Sunniva's leadership position in California as a truly vertically integrated cannabis company across the entire value chain, from seed to sale, as it roles out its Sunniva branded product line in the first quarter of 2019.

"We are pleased to have completed this transaction and we are looking forward to 2019 when the full impact of adding compliant distribution to our portfolio will be realized," said Dr. Anthony Holler, CEO of Sunniva. "Since the original announcement six weeks ago, the LTYR management team has been integrated into our operations and have been working closely with our product development and marketing groups to solidify the strategy for our brand launch set for Q1 2019. We have been active in securing large quantities of clean biomass and we continue to manufacture and stockpile inventory for our initial brand launches early in the new year."

Investorideas.com - #Cannabisstocks: Aphria (TSX: APHA and NYSE: APHA) Responds to Unsolicited Proposal by Green Growth Brands (CSE: GGB)

Investorideas.com - The #Cannabis Market Shifts as Farm Bill is Now Law; Will the U.S. Be the New Driving Force for 2019?

The #Cannabis Market Shifts as Farm Bill is Now Law; Will the U.S. Be the New Driving Force for 2019?

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - December 28, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing North American opportunity for the CBD and Hemp market as the 2018 Farm Bill was passed into law.

Canada took the lead in the sector legalizing cannabis in October this year, but all eyes are now on the U.S as the Farm Bill was passed and new States continue to legalize cannabis .The U.S. cannabis market is expected to generate $23.4 billion in sales by 2022, according to Arcview Research

Edibles sales are on track to reach more than $4.1 billion by 2022 according to Arcview Market Research in partnership with BDS Analytics. They also report in 2018, consumer spending on cannabis-based food and drink is projected to reach $1.5 billion in United States and Canada.

So what about 2019? Many companies, both large and small have been taking note of the potential revenue the Farm Bill will generate and have been working diligently to prepare for this moment.

Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), a global leader in cannabis research and production, plans to be one of the leaders with recent announcements of its letter of intent to purchase hemp-derived CBD isolate from LiveWell Canada , in addition to news of a joint research partnership with Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD) into non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages.

The deal with LiveWell calls for them to supply Tilray with CBD isolate made from hemp cultivated and processed in the U.S. and Canada, with first supply commencing in February 2019. The CBD isolate will be used to process finished CBD cannabis products for distribution by Tilray in Canadian and U.S. markets, subject to applicable federal and local laws and regulations.

Now that the Farm Bill has been signed into law and Canada has opened the doors for edibles in 2019, the path is clear.

AB InBev (NYSE:BUD) is the third alcohol company to partner or invest in a Canadian marijuana producer after Molson Coors Brewing Co. signed a joint venture with Hexo Corp. and, most famously, Constellation Brands Inc. invested in Canopy Growth Corp (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) to become the biggest shareholder in the company. Tobacco company Altria Group Inc. also announced a $1.8 billion investment in Cronos Group Inc. this month.

Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth Corporation, the world's largest diversified hemp and cannabis company, commented on the passage of the Farm Bill saying, "Canopy Growth commends the United States government for passing the Farm Bill, a transformative piece of legislation that will create jobs and meaningful economic impact across the United States."

"Canopy Growth will participate in the American market now that there is a clear federally-permissible path to the market. Consistent with the spirit of the Farm Bill, Canopy Growth will participate in ways that support American farmers," continued Linton.

One notable difference in the Tilray/AB InBev deal is that unlike the Constellation and Altria deals, both of which include the option to take majority control in the future, Tilray wanted to remain independent. Chief Executive Officer Brendan Kennedy said, "We want to control our own destiny. We haven't sold our company to anyone, we're not looking to get bought or acquired."

Smaller, but just as ambitious, American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH), a company focused on harnessing the powers of hydrogen and Nano technologies paired with cannabidiol (CBD) to treat health disorders and enhance quality of life, has also been making preparations for the soon to expand CBD sector. The company recently announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with the California based subsidiary of Growpacker, Inc, which offers local and international brands key services, such as manufacturing, co-packing, and distribution for THC & CBD infused products. Growpacker will provide these services for the Company; internal LALPINA CBD branded products as well as manufacturing and co-packing for white label and co-branded products utilizing the Company's proprietary CBD and THC formulations.

Also trying to posture for market share, one company has taken a different approach. EnviroTechnologies International Inc., (OTC:ETII) a company that develops and markets green, natural and organic products for diverse industries recently announced that its subsidiary, CBD Health Co., (www.cbdhealthco.com), that markets and sells high quality and proprietary hemp-based, natural CBD health products, has placed its focus away from the seemingly oversaturated CBD beverage market and instead on hemp-based pet supplement products development. But that is just one of the many products they plan to roll out.

In the news Enviro said, "Current research shows that there are several common CBD benefits for dogs, which are, 1) powerful painkiller (the ECS is involved in managing pain and CBD's pain killing properties are well documented}; 2) effective anticonvulsant (CBD helps control seizures, tremors, tics and spasms); 3) natural anti-inflammatory; 4) anxiety and stress reducer (anxiety in dogs often results in in barking, urination and defecation, chewing and aggression); 5) active antiemetic (reduces nausea and vomiting); and homeostasis promoter (proper functioning of the body).

Continued: "Pet owners are committed to their pet's health well-being and are willing to spend money on pet health products, which make this a multi-billion dollar market, worldwide," said Karren. "We hope to introduce our CBD pet products in 2019 as we believe that our CBD pet products will be superior to those currently offered in this huge industry and will create another profitable channel for our CBD products."

As the markets for CBD and Hemp open up beyond North America, how significant of a player the US will be is yet to be determined, but it is safe to say the changes to industrial hemp laws in the US will have far reaching effects.
