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.
BLOCKStrain Technology Corp., creator of the first Blockchain-secured, fully-integrated IP tracking platform for the cannabis industry, today announced that Harvest One Cannabis Inc., a Canadian licensed producer of medical cannabis, will employ BLOCKStrain's proprietary genome tracking software to collect and register its cannabis plant DNA and strains.
By incorporating BLOCKStrain's cannabis strain authenticity and tracking platform - the Master Genome Strain and Clone Registration Program - into its sales program, Harvest One is expected to be able to confirm its medical cannabis strains are as labelled, providing its consumers with increased transparency and confidence about its products. Upon completion of the collection and registration of its strains, an initial 30 Harvest One products will carry BLOCKStrain's Seal of Authenticity, guaranteeing their origin and providing quality assurance.
"This agreement with Harvest One is a testament to the growing traction of our proprietary genome-to-sale software, which we expect to increase as more companies recognize the inherent and significant value in protecting the genetics and IP of their various strains," said BLOCKStrain's Chief Executive Officer, Robert Galarza. "We believe our unique technology will enable Harvest One to guarantee its strains and provide consumers with unparalleled assuredness about the products they purchase. This is of particular importance for medical cannabis when patients with specific conditions are relying on products to be of consistent quality and provide consistent results."
CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. announced today that its 49% owned subsidiary, Elite Ventures reported that Hempire, the company's Nevada tenant, has been issued with a 2019 hemp handler, hemp nursery and hemp grower licenses covering 1,350 irrigated acres on its 2,115 acres of owned or leased CBD focused lands.
A hemp handler is defined as a person who is registered by the licensing department to receive industrial hemp for processing into commodities, products or agricultural hemp seed.
The company chose to apply for its hemp grower licence, nursery and hemp handler licence in anticipation of its lab extracting and producing CBD isolate with a throughput capacity of one ton per day of raw biomass. Furthermore, the company increased the acreage size covered by its hemp licences from 240 acres of cultivation in 2018 to 1,350 acres of irrigated cultivation for 2019.
CROP CEO, Michael Yorke, stated: "With the increased size and operating range of our tenant's licenses, CROP's Nevada CBD operations are emerging into a truly world class operation. Our land holdings, micropropagation team, strategies, drying and extraction capabilities and supply agreements will enable us to operate from seeds to isolate to sales in 2019."
Green Growth Brands, Inc. announced the launch of ShopSeventhSense.com. The eCommerce site will allow consumers access to hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) personal care and beauty products under the Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy brand.
"We have the most comprehensive assortment of CBD-infused personal care and beauty products of anyone in the CBD industry," said Peter Horvath, CEO of GGB. "Sales through our digital channel are a huge component of our strategy. Our digital presence is harmonious with our bricks and mortar strategy. The site expands our reach and will drive subsequent purchases for our customers who have shopped at our Seventh Sense shops or our assortment at DSW."
Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy products include CBD-infused body lotion, muscle balm, body wash, bath salts, sugar scrub, bath bomb, lip balm, and face oil. ShopSeventhSense.com will ultimately offer over 300 SKUs of Seventh Sense high quality personal care and beauty products.

Having met all municipal business requirements, the Beaumont Store is approved to sell smoking accessories and cannabis lifestyle products while the temporary suspension of incremental cannabis retail licensing by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis ("AGLC") remains in effect.
The opening of the Beaumont Store reaffirms High Tide's ability to rapidly execute on its broad set of growth plans. "As the fifth fastest growing community in Canada, it was important for High Tide to establish a retail location in Beaumont. We will strive to quickly become a part of this Leduc County community and integrate the outlet into the local economy for the long term," said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. "Our Canna Cabana employees can now begin to educate customers about cannabis and smoking accessories, accept Health Canada-approved cannabis product packaging through the free in-store recycling program and engage with this important community adjacent to southern Edmonton," added Mr. Grover.

#EU Parliament and WHO Could Blow the Lid off The #Cannabis Sector: Who's Ready for the Next Phase? (NYSE: $ACB) (TSX: $ACB.TO) (OTC: $HIPH) (NYSE: $APHA) (TSX: $APHA.TO) (TSXV: $RIV.V)
Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 14, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at how recent developments in the EU Parliament as well as WHO (World Health Organization) could have massive impacts on the cannabis market and which companies are preparing for this next step in the radically expanding sector.
In breaking news yesterday, the European Parliament passed a resolution calling on the European Commission and EU countries to provide a legal definition and draw a clear distinction between cannabis-based medicines approved by regulatory bodies, MMJ not supported by clinical trials, and other applications of the plant.
The current patchwork of regulations in Europe has been seen as one of the main challenges for firms trying to expand into different markets and this resolution "emphasizes the need for the standardization and unification of products containing cannabis-based medicines."
The resolution calls on the commission and national authorities "to address the regulatory, financial and cultural barriers" that have been hindering scientific research and "stresses the importance of close cooperation and coordination with the World Health Organization," who recently recommended the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs to reschedule cannabis.
This will come as good news to Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB.TO), who has already entered the European market having announced earlier this month its first commercial export of cannabis oil to the United Kingdom (UK), making it one of the first Canadian companies to commercially supply cannabis-based medicines into the UK under the new legal framework.
American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH) is also looking to the EU, having announced that it has established a business development team based in the UK and Spain to pursue distribution deals and strategic partnerships for the Company's LALPINA brand across the Continent. The team will be led by Tanya Gullick, who will hold the title of Managing Director, Business Development, UK & Europe, with Paolo Toffolo as Director of Sales & Marketing for UK & Europe.
American Premium CEO, Ryan Fishoff, commented, "I am thrilled to announce the Company's entry into the European continent. This market has been largely ignored by a lot of our counterparts but collectively is as large as the US and Canadian hemp markets. This will be a huge potential market for the Company once we export our THC infused beverage that complies with all federal and international laws. It's an exciting time and I look forward to going there to meet the entire team and work on the strategy for the region."
At the start of the month, Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA.TO) (NYSE: APHA) completed its first transfer of plant cuttings from four of the Company's cannabis strains to Denmark-based Schroll Medical as part of the Company's previously announced Strategic Partnership with Schroll. The shipment was completed under permits issued by the relevant health authorities, including an export permit from Health Canada, an import permit from the Danish Medicines Agency and a phytosanitary certificate from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
"We are pleased to introduce the first four Aphria strains to be produced in Europe, through our strategic alliance with Schroll," said Hendrik Knopp, Managing Director of Aphria Germany, who is overseeing the Partnership on behalf of Aphria and Schroll. "This marks another important milestone for Aphria as we extend our leadership position in the European market, and it gives me joy to be able to say today that we literally have a good thing growing in Europe."
Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSXV:RIV) has also been investing in the EU, having announced a $9.4 million equity investment in its portfolio company Canapar Corp., the Canadian parent corporation of Canapar SrL, an Italy-based organic hemp production and processing platform. The investment aligned with the Company's global-focused growth strategy and is expected to provide the Company with the opportunity to capitalize on the rapidly expanding European CBD market.
These recent recommendations from the EU and WHO could blow the lid off the cannabis sector and allow for much more freedom with regards to trade, transportation and research, but with expansion comes new challenges and companies like HIPH and Aurora, who have already begun investing in this area, are likely to have a major advantage moving forward.

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 14, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing demand for higher extraction outputs and how the industry is responding.
CBD extraction demand is blowing up right now as companies look to put CBD products on shelves and there is a growing demand for higher output yields from extractors.
One method gaining traction is Supercritical CO2 extraction, which has been around for decades in a variety of other industries before cannabis; used in coffee, tea, vanilla and perfumery.
Sunniva Inc (CSE:SNN) (OTC: SNNVF), a company focused on producing medical cannabis and converting trim to extracted products, such as cannabis oil, is one such company focused on SCO2 Extraction.
Mylad Piroozbakht, manager of extraction and formulation at Sunniva commented in recent news, "The main benefit of SCO2 is that it enables the extraction of more total cannabinoids along with other plant components like fats and waxes. This method works well for products that require further post-processing like distillate oil."
Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP) announced significant progress toward the establishment of its new high-capacity CBD extraction and production facility in Colorado, including an approaching equipment order for a best-in-class supercritical CO2 extraction system (rather than an ethanol-based system), to drive the highest purity levels in end production.
"We are committed to driving the bus, not just riding on it," noted DVLP CEO, Stavros Triant. "We have the backing, the experience, and the operational know-how to assume a leadership position in the CBD extraction and production space. And we want to build this facility from the ground up to be the best of breed."
"We have already put in place the pieces to verticalize the CBD boom in-house," continued Mr. Triant. "We are about to launch our WheresCBD.com platform, which builds off our industry-leading WheresWeed.com platform. That will drive a network effect for the distribution footprint, which is the number one issue for CBD producers. We will already have that piece of the puzzle in place by the time we are churning out top-tier 99% pure CBD from our facility.
Companies like MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSXV:LABS.V) (OTC:MLCPF) are good indicators of the market demand for extract products, having recently announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, MediPharm Labs Inc., has entered into a significant sales agreement with a leading Licensed Producer to supply approximately $35 million of private label purified cannabis oil concentrates. The Licensed Producer will purchase $7.66 million of cannabis oil concentrate from MediPharm Labs’ inventory in February 2019. In addition, the Licensed Producer will purchase a minimum of $27 million of cannabis oil concentrate over a 12-month period commencing March 2019, with an option to purchase an additional $13.5 million over the same period, bringing the total potential aggregate value of the agreement to over $48 million to February 2020.
Diamond CBD Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. (OTC: POTN) and a leader in innovative CBD products for the wellness market, is using the influential Tobacco Plus Expo (TPE) as a platform to expand the distribution of its popular $19.99 "CBD Sales Center."
Over 300 retailers have placed a CBD Sales Center in their location over the last two months alone. The displays measuring 16x21x9 can be seen at Booth #9076 and feature Diamond CBD's best-selling edibles and oils, including CBD Honey Pots, Vape Pods, as well as ten different varieties of Diamond CBD Gummies.
"As we all know, success in business in no small part is not just about having great products but also about being able to effectively showcase your products, and rapidly build their distribution to the right audiences. These CBD Sales Centers are a great tool to do just that, and bring our products to the consumer," said Kevin Hagen, CEO of Diamond CBD parent company PotNetwork Holdings, Inc.
There is no shortage of news on the "booming CBD sector" going into 2019, but with increased demand, technology must also take a large step forward and it seems Supercritical CO2 Extraction is one method leading the way.
