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."

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."
