Investorideas.com - Cannabis Pushes Advancement in Agritech; (OTC: $ETII) (TASE: CSURE) (CSE: $VGW.C) (OTC: $VGWCF) (TSX: $OGI.TO) (OTC: $OGRMF) (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC)

Cannabis Pushes Advancement in Agritech; (OTC: $ETII) (TASE: CSURE) (CSE: $VGW.C) (OTC: $VGWCF) (TSX: $OGI.TO) (OTC: $OGRMF) (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 5, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot focusing on the new agritech wave of innovation in the cannabis sector.

Since the passage of the Farm Bill late last year, the development and distribution of CBD and hemp products nationwide has greatly expanded, creating a need for new agricultural technologies.

EnviroTechnologies International, Inc. (OTC: ETII), a company that develops and markets green, natural and organic products, recently confirmed that it is preparing to introduce its patent pending water treatment technology to licensed cannabis growers in the northwest. The EO Machines will help eliminate growth-impeding pathogens and stimulate harvest yields.

"What hasn't been covered as much is the potential and existence of fungal and contaminants that are prevalent in nearly all phases of plant growth, harvest, and post-harvest product processing of hemp and cannabis," said Gaylord Karren, ETI's President.

ETII also recently reported their estimated 2018 revenues and first quarter equipment orders under contract. "During this last month, we have received great interest in our EO Equipment and have signed more purchase orders," said Randall Waters, ETI's Vice President, Sales & Marketing. "First quarter, 2019 revenues will be approximately $605,000 and contracts for second quarter, 2019 are expected to be $885,000."

"We are particularly excited about the acceptance of our EO Machines and equipment in the agriculture world - with the apple farms in the northwest and the emerging CBD, cannabis industry," said Waters. "There are literally thousands of apple, cannabis and fruit farmers in the US that will benefit greatly from our proprietary technology, which will help them retain a much greater crop harvest and achieve higher yields by sanitizing their crops and eliminating dangerous and yield-stunting fungal and bacteria, particularly in the CBD, hemp and cannabis farming."

Cannassure Therapeutics (TASE: CSURE), a subsidiary of Solbar Food Technologies Ltd., a 57 year-old producer of plant based raw materials and solutions for the food and food additives industries, went a different route with the recent announcement of its collaboration with Cannika Holdings, an agritech incubator specializing in cannabis innovation.

Nir Peles, Interim Chairman of Cannassure commented: "We are delighted about this collaboration with Cannika. We are committed to medical cannabis innovation for the purpose of enhancing treatment and improving the quality of life of people worldwide with medical cannabis products. Having a cannabis technological incubator on our campus is directly in line with our strategy, activity and goals. Cannika's leadership team has extensive knowledge and experience in the fields of agritech, science, and business development which gives them the ability to support early stage, cannabis initiatives and fast track their path to successful commercialization."

Valens GroWorks Corp. (CSE: VGW) (OTC: VGWCF), a multi-licensed, vertically integrated provider of cannabis products and services focused on various proprietary extraction methodologies, distillation, cannabinoid isolation and purification, as well as associated quality testing, announced that it has entered into a multi-year extraction services agreement with Organigram Inc. (TSXV: OGI) (OTC: OGRMF) for cannabis and hemp extraction services.

Valens subsidiary, Valens Agritech (VAL) holds a license to cultivate cannabis and produce cannabis oil under the Cannabis Act, as well as a license to conduct analytical testing for the cannabis industry and currently has extraction processing and supply agreements with other leading producers across Canada

"Looking ahead to another year of unprecedented firsts in the national and global cannabis industries, our growth strategy is aggressive," says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. "A key element of that success is partnerships with companies like Valens who can offer the capacity, quality and expertise to help ensure we deliver on our ongoing commitment to meeting the increasing demand of the global medical and adult recreational cannabis markets."

VAL also has a supply agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation ( TSX: WEED) ( NYSE: CGC) under their extensive CraftGrow distribution network. Canopy announced in December 2018 that it had entered into a multi-year extraction agreement with Valens GroWorks Corp.

The US agriculture industry suffered years of stagnation under the crop monopoly of corn, but perhaps hemp and eventually cannabis, will allow companies like EnviroTechnologies International (OTC: ETII) and Valens to create a new era of agriculture and bring advanced technology to the US Farmer, improving yield, efficiency, and profitability..

Investorideas.com - The Race for the Premier Retail #Cannabis Market and Brands; (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC), (CSE: $GGB.C) (OTCQB: $GGBXF), (TSX: $ACB.TO) (NYSE: $ACB), (CSE: $CURA.C) ($CURLF)

The Race for the Premier Retail #Cannabis Market and Brands; (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC), (CSE: $GGB.C) (OTCQB: $GGBXF), (TSX: $ACB.TO) (NYSE: $ACB), (CSE: $CURA.C) ($CURLF)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 5, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the future of the retail cannabis market and companies competing for market share.

According to New Frontier Data, there are an estimated 272 million cannabis consumers globally, equivalent to 4% of the world's population; and more importantly, these consumers collectively spend approximately $356 billion each year on cannabis across legal and illicit markets.

With all this at stake, cannabis companies are positioning themselves in the retail markets with an acquisition strategy targeting premier retail brands.

In September 2018, Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (NYSE: CGC) announced the closing of the acquisition of Hiku Brands to strengthen their retail and brand portfolio.

"Leaves begin to turn. Canopy adds bold new brands. Ready for retail," commented Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "The Tweed and Vert brands we've built are now complemented with the likes of DOJA, Tokyo Smoke, Maitri, and Van der Pop, placing the taste-makers of tomorrow's cannabis industry on the same team."

In October 2018, Canopy announced the launch of a new brand for the recreational market in Canada; LBS. The LBS brand slogan - "Worth Its Weight In Gold" - is a reference to the care and quality put into the brand's products and also to its roots in California, the Golden State.

Talking about the brand, Mark Zekulin, President & Co-CEO said, "Canopy Growth was founded to pursue a 'house of brands' strategy in order to be inclusive across multiple demographics and across multiple cannabis markets."

Using a similar strategy, Green Growth Brands, Inc. (CSE:GGB.CN) (GGBXF) plans to grow the world's premier cannabis retailing business. On January 30th the company announced it executed an arm's length definitive agreement to acquire control of ZLJT LLC & Arizona Natural Pain Solutions Inc., collectively referred to as "Desert Rose". Desert Rose holds a license for a vertically-integrated operation in Arizona, including retail, cultivation & infusion (kitchen).

"We were very impressed with the quality of the operations held by Arizona Natural Pain Solutions," said Green Growth Brands CEO, Peter Horvath. "At Desert Rose, the team is dedicated to providing their customers with medical marijuana products that are pure, safe and efficient, while striving to keep their costs as affordable as possible."

According to the website, "Green Growth Brands expects to dominate the cannabis and CBD market with a portfolio of emotion-driven brands that people love. Led by Peter Horvath, the GGB team is full of retail and consumer packaged goods experts with decades of experience building successful brands."

In December 2018, Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (NYSE: ACB) announced that it entered into an agreement to invest $10 million in High Tide Inc., a privately held, Alberta-based, retail-focused cannabis and lifestyle accessories company.

High Tide is developing an expanding network across Canada of cannabis and cannabis accessory retail stores, as well as manufacturing and distributing branded cannabis accessories which positions it exceptionally well to capitalize on the Canadian adult-use cannabis industry. Through its two wholesale businesses, Famous Brandz and RGR Canada and the 19 existing Smoker's Corner retail locations, High Tide serves more than 170,000 retail customers per year.

Getting it right when it comes to retail and branding for the cannabis sector is Curaleaf Holdings (CSE: CURA) (OTCBB: CURLF). Curaleaf is the largest national retail dispensary brand in the US, as well as a premium mainstream cannabis brand available in multiple states and product formats. The company targeted retail channels include: E-commerce (DTC), e-retailers, the natural products/wellness sections of grocery stores and mass merchandisers, high-end spas, pet stores, vape shops, and dispensaries.

Just like any other sector, the cannabis consumer's brand experience will lead to the success of each company. As they jockey for position, Green Growth Brands (CSE:GGB.CN) (GGBXF) is betting on a team that knows the retail market and all about 'going for the gold'.

Investorideas.com - Investing in #cannabis companies and the land they own; (CSE: $HARV.C) (OTCQX: $HTHHF) (CSE: $MMEC.C) (OTCQX: $MMNF) (CSE: $IAN.C) (OTCQX: $ITHUF)

Investing in #cannabis companies and the land they own; (CSE: $HARV.C) (OTCQX: $HTHHF) (CSE: $MMEC.C) (OTCQX: $MMNF) (CSE: $IAN.C) (OTCQX: $ITHUF)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 5, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the cannabis "land grab" happening in the US and Canada as companies focus on increasing their real estate footprint.

A recent CNBC article discussed how the super wealthy have started to invest more into cannabis companies and the land they own. In the article, Michael Sonnenfeldt, founder of investment club Tiger 21, that has numbers upwards of 700 and have a total of $71 billion under management, commented on investing in the cannabis sector saying, "Sometimes it's owning the land that cannabis is grown on, sometimes it's owning the real estate where there are factories, if you will, and sometimes it's owning the companies and then, of course, there's the public market."

Companies like Innovative Industrial Properties' (NYSE: IIPR), a self-advised Maryland corporation focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized industrial properties leased to experienced, state-licensed operators for their regulated medical-use cannabis facilities seem to be a harbinger of this investment trend.

In recent news, the company was reported closing at $61.92, outpacing the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.86%, with shares of the company having gained 33.52% over the past month, outpacing the finance sector's gain of 9.7% and the S&P 500's gain of 8.11% in that time.

Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HTHHF), a vertically integrated public cannabis company, has decided to skip the middleman with regards to real estate and amassed one of the largest footprints in the U.S, with 60 licenses across 12 US states.

The company recently announced the Ohio Department of Commerce, pending background checks, will award the company a provisional processor license under Ohio's Medical Marijuana Control Program. The application scored among the top 26 after being judged on a series of standards and merits, including relevant experience across multiple verticals in the cannabis space, prior demonstration of compliance, financial viability and proposed community benefits.

"Ohio has an important long-term role in the cannabis industry," said Steve White, Founder and CEO of Harvest. "It has the seventh largest state economy, a skilled manufacturing workforce and a growing patient count. We are thrilled to open fully vertical operations and look forward to contributing to the Buckeye economy for years to come. This is a solid win for us, coming on the heels of big retail victories in Pennsylvania and Santa Monica, California."

Cannabis companies like MedMen Enterprises (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQX: MMNFF) have also realized the investment to be made in cannabis real estate. MedMen and Stable Road Capital, a Venice, California-based investment firm with a successful track record in real estate and cannabis, recently founded Treehouse Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a newly organized real estate investment company focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized retail and industrial properties leased for use as regulated adult-use and medical-use cannabis facilities.

Treehouse announced last week that it has completed its offering of 6,676,000 shares of its common stock (the "Common Stock") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $133.5 million. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, and Northland Securities, Inc. acted as the initial purchasers/placement agents for the offering.

iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. (CSE: IAN) (OTCQX: ITHUF) and MPX Bioceutical Corporation just announced that the previously announced plan of arrangement in which iAnthus will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of MPX is now expected to close on or before February 5, 2019.

The combined company, excluding MPX International, will encompass operations and cannabis licenses in 10 states that will permit iAnthus to operate 56 retail locations and 14 cultivation/processing facilities. As a result of the transaction, iAnthus will add retail and/or production capabilities in Arizona, Maryland, Nevada, California and Massachusetts. These additional licenses complement iAnthus' existing assets in New York, Florida, Massachusetts, Vermont, Colorado, and New Mexico, forming super-regional footprints in both the Eastern and Western United States.

The land grab for the US and Canadian cannabis retail and industrial real estate market is on and multi-state operators such as Harvest One (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HTHHF) may have the upper hand against the Canadian companies just beginning to enter into the US.

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 AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (CSE: AGRA) (OTCPK: PUFXF), Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (TSX-V: TBP) (OTCQB: TBPMF), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB), Radient Technologies (TSX-V: RTI) (OTCQX:RDDTF) and CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House (CSE: OH) (OTCQX: ORHOF).

AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (formerly PUF Ventures Inc.), a growth oriented and diversified international cannabis company, announced that Natures Hemp Corp., a spin-off company from PUF Ventures and a biotechnology and consumer products company focused on unlocking the true value of hemp for both B2B and B2C markets, is moving forward with the development of a hemp based coffee creamer. The Richardson Centre of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals at the University of Manitoba is undertaking phase two of product development which includes product and process optimization, increased production scale plus a shelf life study.

"We are moving to phase two of the development of our all-natural, hemp-based, non-dairy coffee creamer to increase production scale, introduce alternative flavours and study the nutrient composition and shelf life of the new product," said Derek Ivany, President and CEO of AgraFlora Organics International. "Initial tests show that our new coffee creamer tastes good, has all the characteristics of conventional creamers and includes all the healthy benefits of cannabidiols. More news will follow as we add to the management team and provide more specific timing to the public listing process."

Nature Hemp's healthy alternative non-dairy coffee creamer is made using whole hemp seeds. Hemp seeds are recognized as a superfood, like flax and chia seeds, because they contain cannabidiol (CBD), are high in protein, contain 20 amino acids, and are also high in the fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6. Hemp seeds are typically pressed to produce oil and the remaining byproduct is processed into a flour from which products like pasta, baked goods and other healthy foods can be created.

Crescita Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: CTX), a Canadian commercial dermatology company and Tetra Natural Health (NHP), a subsidiary of Tetra Bio-Pharma, a leader in cannabinoid-derived drug discovery and development, today announced an agreement to develop an enhanced version of Tetra's dermatology portfolio using Crescita's patented transdermal delivery technologies: Multiplexed Molecular Penetration Enhancer ("MMPE™") and DuraPeel™. The primary active ingredient contained in the product portfolio to be reformulated is beta-caryophyllene ("Beta-C"), which is known to work on Cannabidiol ("CBD") 2 receptors. The testing methodology and the clinical development made possible by the collaboration will help optimize the delivery of Beta-C and several other active ingredients into the skin and local tissues.

Some of Tetra's dermatology products have already been approved by Health Canada as natural health products, and address several medical conditions, including but not limited to, muscle and joint pain, cold sores and hemorrhoids. In late 2018, Crescita published the favorable results of a study demonstrating the enhanced permeation of CBD, the non-psychoactive component of cannabis. The in-vitro skin permeation study showed that both MMPE and DuraPeel significantly increased the transdermal permeation of CBD over the control formulation by up to 14- and 6-fold, respectively. Based on these results, Tetra believes that the use of Crescita's patented technologies will improve the permeability and potentially, the efficacy of Beta-C and will enhance the intellectual property of its dermatology portfolio.

In addition, the companies have entered into discussions related to Crescita's contract manufacturing services to produce Tetra's enhanced product portfolio once the desired results have been attained in the development and testing phases of the collaboration.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. announced today that its extraction technology partner, Radient Technologies has received its Standard Processing License from Health Canada.

In 2016, Aurora identified Radient's proprietary extraction technology (MAP™) as potentially disruptive for the cannabis industry due to its ability to achieve much higher throughputs than is possible with existing benchmark technologies, as well as its efficiency and ability to preserve the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes found in the source material. These aspects provide key competitive advantages in the development and large-scale production of high-quality derivative products.

Since investing in Radient, Aurora has expanded into the hemp sector with its majority ownership of Hempco Food and Fiber ("Hempco") and the acquisition of AgroPro, Europe's largest producer of organic hemp products, providing low-cost access to high-quality raw material for the extraction of CBD. The industrial-scale extraction of CBD will play a key role in the roll-out of Aurora's derivative products strategy, including the development and production of high-margin products for the wellness market.

CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House, a leading North American cannabis products and brands company, today announced that that the Company has entered into an agreement to provide strategic financing of US$704,000 to Humboldt's Finest, an alliance of heritage cannabis farms representing Humboldt County. Humboldt's Finest produces sun-grown cannabis flower on their farms in Humboldt County, California, which is processed into products including jarred flower, pre-roll flower joints, live resin dabs/jars and/or live resin cartridges.

The funds have been advanced towards the forward purchase of Humboldt's Finest cannabis and cannabis products at a discount to the wholesale price. In conjunction with the Agreement, Origin House's wholly-owned distribution subsidiary, RVR Distribution ("RVR") has renewed and extended its exclusive distribution rights to Humboldt's Finest products. This Agreement, in addition to the previously announcedpartnership with Mendocino-based Henry's Original, reinforces Origin House's presence as an active operator with a strong foothold in the Emerald Triangle, the epicenter of California's cannabis cultivation.

"We are proud to announce Humboldt's Finest as a participant in our innovative brand acceleration program, following recently announced partnerships with Henry's Original and Utopia Cannabis," said Afzal Hasan, President and General Counsel of Origin House. "We believe that the low-impact, organic practices of cultivators such as Humboldt's Finest are the gold standard for high quality, sustainable, heritage cultivation. Humboldt County has come a long way socially, economically and environmentally, and the intellectual property rooted within the practices of this community is at the core of the brands that we are partnering with. We're excited to support operators in Humboldt County that are seeking to make the area a global nexus for cannabis cultivation, as these relationships have the potential to translate into strong returns for both the local communities and our stakeholders."
