Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 11, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the trend of cannabis companies uplisting in U.S. markets.
As regulations change, such as the rescheduling of CBD and Hemp in the US, it is likely we will see and more and more smaller cannabis companies work towards uplisting to the OTCQB, NYSE and NASDAQ markets, making them more transparent to investors as well as reaping the benefits of opening themselves up to a larger investor base and gaining access to more capital.
Back in February of 2018, Cronos Group Inc. (TSX: CRON.TO) (NASDAQ:CRON) began to blaze the path in cannabis stock credibility by becoming the first cannabis company to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, as well as uplisting from the TSX-Venture to the TSX.
In their release, Mike Gorenstein, CEO of Cronos Group said, "This up-listing to NASDAQ is a major corporate milestone and reflects the significant progress we have made in strengthening our corporate governance and expanding our global footprint. We believe this will increase long term shareholder value by improving awareness, liquidity, and appeal to institutional investors."
Since then, cannabis companies both small and large have been looking to follow in their footsteps.
EnviroTechnologies International, Inc. (OTC:ETII) in a recent news release reported that it has commenced an audit to become a fully reporting company and transition to the OTCQB. The company's subsidiary, CBD Health Co. (www.cbdhealthco.com), a company that markets and sells high quality and proprietary hemp-based, natural CBD health products, has made inroads into the hemp-based pet supplement products market and further ambitions in the CBD market.
Gaylord Karren, ETI's President commented, "We have been transparent with our financial information but we have not to date committed to a formal audit, which we determined is the next logical step in our progression as a public company. We expect to complete our audit by the end of first quarter 2019, which will then allow us to move to the QB and expand our options in the public marketplace."
CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST.TO) (OTC:CNTTF), one of Canada's leading, most trusted licensed producers of cannabis and the 2018 Canadian Cannabis Awards "Top Licensed Producer of the Year", made a similar announcement recently that it has applied to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
In their release Peter Aceto, CEO of CannTrust said, "CannTrust has firmly established itself as one of the top licensed producers in Canada with a global platform rooted in trust, science and innovation. A listing on the NYSE is a natural step forward in our evolution as we look to broaden our investor base, increase the Company's exposure and expand our business on an international scale."
Many companies are also looking to broaden their investor reach in the Canadian markets as American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH), a company positioned in the growing CBD beverage market announced in December that it had engaged Canadian law firm Aird & Berlis with the intention to begin the process to list on a Canadian stock exchange. The Company's goal is to be listed in Canada by the end of the first half of 2019, as well as complete its audit and become fully reporting on the US OTCQB.

In their news release, American Premium CEO and Interim Chairman Ryan Fishoff, commented "Today's announcement is the first step to expand the Company's reach into North American and the global investor market."
Fishoff, as much as he is moving in the direction of the future, knows the importance of also remembering the roots of the industry, with icons like Snoop Dog. He tweeted yesterday making note that his company's ‏LALPINA CBD brand will be the liquid star of an event hosted by Snoop Dog for retired NFL player and Fox Business News contributor, Jack Brewer.

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 Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF), Zenabis Global Inc. (TSXV:ZENA), Braingrid Limited (CSE:BGRD) and PharmaCielo Ltd.
But first, in the news today Cowen analyst Vivien Azer said "the U.S. market opportunity is valued at around $40 billion to $50 billion and expected to grow to $80 billion by 2030 assuming national availability,".
Wall Street's top cannabis analyst believes U.S. sales of marijuana will rise more than she previously projected to $80 billion by 2030 and told clients to expect major Canadian growers Canopy Growth and Tilray to outperform in 2019.
"We expect continued growth in newly established U.S. states, and more robust growth in Canada as more supply comes online and new form factors hit the market," Cowen analyst Vivien Azer wrote Tuesday. "Given our outlook for continued strong growth in North American cannabis in 2019, we remain constructive on all three of our publicly traded cannabis stocks," including Canopy (NYSE:CGC) , Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) and KushCo (OTC:KSHB) , an American company that sells packaging for the cannabis industry.
Green Growth Brands today announced an agreement with DSW Inc. (NYSE: DSW) to sell hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) personal care products under the Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy brand at select DSW stores throughout the U.S.
The Agreement was received by Green Growth Brands yesterday, January 9, for 54,960 units and covers sales in 96 U.S.-based DSW stores. Seventh Sense brand offers high-quality CBD-infused products and affordable prices, including muscle balms, body lotions, body washes and foot creams. The Agreement follows a successful test phase conducted last autumn in which Green Growth Brands sold select Seventh Sense products in 10 DSW stores. During the first 10 weeks of the test period, 74.4% of product presented on shelves was sold, significantly exceeding expectations.
"DSW is the number one full line adult footwear specialty retailer in North America1," said Peter Horvath, CEO of Green Growth Brands. "They have revolutionized shopping for shoes and accessories and we are thrilled they chose to partner with our company, allowing us to introduce a new product category to their customers."
Zenabis Global Inc. announced that the trading of its common shares commenced at market open today under exchange symbol "ZENA" on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").
This event follows the completion of the reverse takeover of Bevo Agro Inc. by Sun Pharm Investments Ltd. on January 8, 2019. As previously announced on October 4, 2018, Bevo and Sun Pharm entered into an arrangement agreement with respect to the spin-out of Bevo's interest in CubicFarm Systems Corp. and subsequent a reverse take-over of Bevo by Sun Pharm, with the resulting combined issuer being Zenabis.
Braingrid Limited, a global provider of affordable, scalable and easy-to-deploy sensor platforms for precision agriculture announced the first commercial deployment of its innovative, self-powered Sentroller S precision agriculture technology at Canadian licensed producer WeedMD Inc.'s modern greenhouse facility located in Strathroy, Ontario.
"As an innovative producer of medical-grade cannabis, we're a long-time partner of Braingrid starting with our best-in-class indoor cultivation facility in Aylmer, Ontario," said Keith Merker, CEO of WeedMD. "We are finalizing a production capacity expansion at our 610,000 square foot, state-of-the-art greenhouse in Strathroy, Ontario - incorporating the latest advancements for precision cultivation including Braingrid's innovative technologies. We're very pleased with the results so far with over 110,000 square feet of production space progressively online."
PharmaCielo Ltd., the Canadian parent of Colombia's premier cultivator and producer of medicinal-grade cannabis oil (PharmaCielo Colombia Holdings S.A.S.), today provided a corporate progress update in preparation for its public listing on the TSXV under the ticker PCLO (TSXV:PCLO), on or about January 18, 2019.
In preparation for PharmaCielo's transition to commercial-scale production and sale of cannabis oil extracts and concentrates in 2019, the Company has made some key appointments to its management team and board of directors:
  • With scalable cultivation and processing infrastructure in place and the Company's public listing achieved, Anthony Wile has stepped down as interim chief executive officer and from the Board as a director, returning to his role as chief executive officer of Grupo Jaque Ltd., a private equity and investment company based in Medellín. Mr. Wile will continue to work with the Company, serving as a special consultant, with efforts focused on actively supporting the long-term global strategy and expanding international opportunities;
  • David Attard has been appointed chief executive officer;
  • Delon Human has been appointed global head, health and innovation; and
  • Doug Bache has been appointed to the Board, and will serve as chair of the Audit Committee.
"When Federico Cock-Correa and I founded PharmaCielo several years ago, we envisioned an organization that could leverage Colombia's natural advantages to become a leading global supplier of cannabis products, driving long-term value for shareholders and equally benefitting end users as well as the people of Colombia as a whole," said Anthony Wile, outgoing CEO. "Earlier this year, I accepted the interim role of CEO to meet the needs of the business during the public listing process as well as to provide leadership in expanding international initiatives as the Company advanced its cultivation and processing capabilities. Over the next several years, PharmaCielo will become a value-added partner and supplier of cannabinoid inputs to global end-product companies. David Attard has a proven track record of scaling profitable operations across multiple markets and distribution channels. I am confident that David and the team are well-positioned to generate profitable growth for shareholders as I return to my role as CEO of Grupo Jaque Ltd. and continue my contribution to the development of PharmaCielo as advisor."

Global Ambitions for #Cannabis; The Greater Cannabis Company (OTC: $GCAN), Aphria (TSX: $APHA.TO) (NYSE: $APHA), Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC) and AgraFlora Organics (CSE: $AGRA.C)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 10, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the global expansion of the cannabis industry and the companies looking at new international markets as regulations change.
As new international markets being to open, both cannabis giants as well as smaller cannabis technology companies are now making the necessary preparations to enter this international space.
The Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. (OTC:GCAN), recently announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with iCAN Cannabis to expand distribution of its eluting patch platform into key global markets. The eluting patch platform is an innovative delivery system which uses a patented mucoadhesive and multilayered orally dissolving thin film to deliver a precise dose of cannabinoids into the body through the buccal mucosa. Clinical studies, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have shown the delivery system's capability in achieving higher bioavailability and desired results in the body using lower and controlled dosing when compared to other routes of administration.
The agreement with iCAN will include commercial ready formulations to meet medical and recreational market demands. Distribution and marketing rights for iCAN will include Israel, Australia, South Africa, Netherlands, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Malta, Macedonia and Portuguese territories.
In their recent news release, Aitan Zacharin, CEO of Greater Cannabis said, "I am pleased to announce our partnership with iCAN. Saul is an industry leader who is at the forefront of everything tech in cannabis. His desire to partner with us is a testament to the strength of our technology and its capabilities. We are excited to establish this important partnership in the medical and adult-use cannabis industry. We are focused on transactions that will accelerate commercialization of our products and the iCAN deal does that globally. iCAN shares our enthusiasm for seeing healthier, standardized, pharmaceutical-grade and more cost-effective cannabis products introduced into the market. We look forward to working with iCan to bring our cutting-edge technology to consumers worldwide."
Similarly, in December of 2018, Aphria Inc. (TSX:APHA.TO) (NYSE:APHA) and Rapid Dose Therapeutics Inc. announced that they have expanded the scope of their previously announced agreement where Aphria has been granted exclusive preferred rights to license, manufacture, distribute and sell RDT's QuickStrip™ innovative, proprietary delivery technology for the cannabis market to Germany.
In their news release, Jakob Ripshtein, President of Aphria commented that "Germany is one of the most sought-after cannabis markets today and Aphria continues to take a comprehensive approach to ensure a leading presence in the country as the opportunity evolves."Ripshtein continued, "Aphria is committed to bringing advanced products and innovations to cannabis markets around the world, and this agreement with RDT will enable us to bring QuickStrip™ technology to the German market and offer a unique nutraceutical product that delivers a consistent dosage."
Back in November, Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE:CGC) (TSX:WEED.TO), one of the world's biggest medical cannabis companies announced they would spend more than 100 million euros (US$115 million) to expand production in the EU over the next two years, according to Pierre Debs, managing director at Canopy's Spectrum Cannabis Europe division.
In one news article, Debs commented that Germany and the EU overall "are the most exciting federally regulated medical cannabis markets outside of Canada." Debs continued in the phone interview saying, "Things are going to grow not too differently than what happened in Canada. We're going to need significant production facilities."
AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (CSE: AGRA) (OTCPK: PUFXF) has also been looking at the international sector with their recent announcement that they have engaged good manufacturing practices (GMP) facility experts to design post production exports for the European Union (EU) in preparation for the first crop of cannabis to be planted at its large-scale Delta Greenhouse Complex later this year. The Company has also initiated discussions regarding supply agreements and product development partnerships with several European Union based pharma companies.
In their recent release, Derek Ivany, President and CEO, AgraFlora Organics International Inc. said, "I am very pleased to announce we have engaged European GMP facility experts to design post production products for export markets."
As the world is watching the successes and struggles of the Canadian and US cannabis markets, there is an increasing need for companies to take the proper steps and make the investments or face the possibility of being left out of the global cannabis community.
