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 experts and industry leaders.
Today we are looking at announcements from Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB), The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF), Vireo Health International, Inc. (CSE: VREO) and Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. (CSE: LDS), (OTCQX: LDSYF).
But first, William "Beau" Wrigley, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Surterra Wellness , one of the fastest growing health and wellness companies in the United States (U.S.), today highlighted the need for a change in the policy paradigm related to cannabis, saying that "Americans are ready for the full spectrum of medical and wellness benefits of cannabis." Wrigley's remarks came during a national thought leader event hosted by news publisher Axios on "Shifting the Wellness Paradigm," a conversation on medical cannabis as a health and wellness alternative.”
At the event, Wrigley discussed how decades of global brand building and a lifelong passion for wellness spurred his interest in the burgeoning cannabis wellness industry and in building a company that he sees as an industry model for the long run. He also offered insights on Surterra's rapid growth and expansion into new markets, the science helping doctors and individuals look beyond outdated falsehoods about cannabis, and the need for policymakers to establish a workable regulatory and business framework for a dynamic cannabis industry.
"We're entering a new paradigm related to cannabis. Across the United States, public perception and support of legal cannabis are shifting rapidly, as facts replace outdated myths," Wrigley said. "Americans are ready for the full spectrum of medical and wellness benefits of cannabis – and at Surterra, we're building a company that can be a role model and gold standard for the long run. Now policymakers must modernize federal laws to align with the reality that cannabis is, and should be, part of America's future."
The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF), announced that its website, TGOD.ca, has been recognized with two prestigious global awards.
TGOD was presented two Horizon Interactive Awards for the TGOD.ca website in the categories of Best Responsive / Mobile Website (Gold) and Best E-commerce Website (Bronze).
"We are thrilled to receive global recognition for our new site," said Brian Athaide, CEO of TGOD. "Having launched in only December 2018, the fact that we are already receiving awards is remarkable. This recognition showcases the importance of not only building a leading digital platform for the cannabis industry, but a platform that competes across all industries."
Since 2002, the Horizon Interactive Awards have recognized the best websites, videos, online advertising, print media and mobile applications. The competition receives thousands of entries from around the world which are then judged by a panel of industry professionals specializing in advertising, marketing and design to determine which works should be celebrated. Entries are judged based on their design, creativity, technical approach, clarity of message and overall effectiveness.
Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB) today announced an update on the status of Aurora Sun, the Company's latest and largest Sky Class facility, which is currently under construction in Medicine Hat, Alberta. To support rapidly growing global demand for high-quality medical cannabis in Canada and abroad, the facility will be expanded to 1.62 million square feet, representing a 33% increase from its originally planned 1.2 million square feet. With the Sky Class production philosophy proven at Aurora Sky, the Company is confident in projecting an expected production capacity at Aurora Sun in excess of 230,000 kg of high-quality cannabis per annum.
Aurora's Sky Class facilities are the most technologically advanced in the world. They are not greenhouses, but purpose-built, indoor cannabis grow facilities that create the most optimal growing conditions for cannabis. A sophisticated glass roof, rainwater and snow melt recapture system, and a high-level of technology and automation give Aurora full control over all anticipated environmental and harvest conditions, resulting in the production of consistently high yielding, high-quality cannabis at low-cost.
"Aurora Sun represents the next evolution in our Sky Class facility design, delivering massive scale, low cost production, and consistent, high-quality cannabis," said Terry Booth, CEO of Aurora. "Particularly in newly-opened markets, establishing first-mover position and embedding Aurora's market share and brand requires a stable and reliable supply of high-quality cannabis for these markets. The increased scale of Aurora Sun reflects our expectations for the long-term growth in global demand, especially the higher margin international medical markets which will be faced with significant supply shortages for the foreseeable future. Sun is also designed with flexibility in mind to enable us to quickly meet changing market demands, particularly as breeding and cultivation technologies evolve and as customer preferences and requirements change."
Vireo Health International, Inc., (CSE: VREO) a leading science-focused, multi-state cannabis company, today announced that Founder & CEO, Kyle Kingsley, M.D., will host a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) Session on Friday, April 12, 2019 at 8:00 a.m. EDT.
The Reddit AMA with Dr. Kingsley comes on the heels of several recent Company milestones:
● listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol, VREO;
● expansion into the Arizona medical cannabis market with the acquisition of four entities which together manage the vertically-integrated medical cannabis business of license-holder Arizona Natural Remedies;
● acquisition of the management of Red Barn Growers, a holder of one New Mexico's medical cannabis licenses, which is a vertically-integrated medical cannabis company, operating two medical cannabis dispensaries, located in Santa Fe, NM and Gallup, NM; and
● entry into Vireo's first adult-use cannabis market, through the acquisition of Mayflower Botanicals Inc., a Registered Marijuana Dispensary certificate holder in Massachusetts.
The Reddit AMA session will provide participants with an opportunity to ask Dr. Kingsley questions about Vireo Health and discuss his vision for replacing alcohol, tobacco and opioids with cannabis. In order to ask questions, participants must have a Reddit account and visit the forum at http://bit.ly/KingsleyAMA.
Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. (CSE: LDS) (OTCQX: LDSYF)., announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, CSPA Group, Inc., has entered into a five-year lease agreement for 20,000 square feet of warehouse space at $2 per sq. ft. per month. The new facility will be used to expand the Company's transportation and distribution operations in Adelanto, California.
The requirement to increase the square footage for CSPA Group, Inc.'s transportation and distribution operations is dictated by the expected start of operations of Highway 395 Dispensary and 420 Prime Delivery Service, which are currently scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2019. The new facility is conveniently located on the lot adjacent to the current Adelanto manufacturing facility, removing the need to engage third-party transportation services as well as allowing the Company to use its current armed security services at both locations significantly reducing the cost that would be required at any other location. The Company estimates its initial transportation and distribution space requirements to be approximately 10,000 square feet, which will allow the Company to sublease an unused portion of the building until increased space is required.
Brad Eckenweiler, CEO of LDS, stated, "This additional facility will allow for significant market growth in all CSPA Group's product lines as well as the products from Core Isogenetics, Inc. The warehouse will hold inventory of both raw material and finished products, and will include an environmentally-controlled storage space for seeds and seedlings. The availability of this facility is certainly timely for our operations; not only is it located in the green zone, but the proximity to our manufacturing space will allow us to easily coordinate transportation and distribution of our products saving us time and tens of thousands of dollars in transportation and security costs."

#Cannabis Companies Shift Focus towards Beauty and Wellness (NYSE: $CGC) (OTC: $GCAN) (OTCQB: $KHRNF) (NYSE: $APHA)
#Cannabis Companies Shift Focus towards Beauty and Wellness (NYSE: $CGC) (OTC: $GCAN) (OTCQB: $KHRNF) (NYSE: $APHA)
Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – April 10, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the many cannabis companies looking into the CBD beauty and wellness sector and why this sector is gaining such momentum.
According to one report from the GlobalWellnessInstitute, “a wellness mindset is starting to permeate the global consumer consciousness, affecting people’s daily decision-making – whether food purchases, a focus on mental wellness and reducing stress, incorporating movement into daily life, environmental consciousness, or their yearning for connection and happiness,” noted Katherine Johnston, senior research fellow, GWI. “Wellness, for more people, is evolving from rarely to daily, from episodic to essential, from a luxury to a dominant lifestyle value. And that profound shift is driving powerful growth.”
This change in mindset combined with growing interest from large retailers, most recently CVS and Walgreens, is making many companies invest in beauty and wellness.

The most notable is Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX:WEED) (NYSE:CGC) who, along with Sequential Brands Group, Inc., recently announced that Martha Stewart joined the Company in an advisory role to assist with developing and positioning a broad new line of product offerings across multiple categories including beauty and wellness.
With several clinical trials underway, Canopy Growth will be leaning on Martha’s vast knowledge of consumer products while exploring the effectiveness of CBD and other cannabinoids as they relate to improving the lives of both humans and animals.
The Greater Cannabis Company Inc. (OTC: GCAN), a market leader and innovator in the development and commercialization of cannabinoid delivery systems, just recently announced its expansion into the CBD beauty, cosmetics and self-care markets. In addition to its highly bioavailable, orally dissolving transmucosal patch, the Company is now formulating and commercializing a new line of products for CBD-infused cosmetics and skincare applications.
“Consumer demand for CBD-infused beauty products has prompted major retailers such as Walgreens, Sephora and CVS, and major cosmetic brands like Estee Lauder to move into this emerging sector,” said Aitan Zacharin, Chief Executive Officer of The Greater Cannabis Company. “Our unique and proven technology, coupled with the high stability of our product formulations well positions us to meet the market’s demand for CBD-infused beauty and cosmetic products.”
“CBD has a broad range of benefits in topical application, including antioxidants for anti-aging, anti-inflammatory for acne and more,” added Zacharin. “But bioavailability and stability are enormously important to its effectiveness, which is our significant competitive advantage.”
Outside the US, Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN), (OTCQB: KHRNF) announced that it has signed multi-channel distribution agreements for its Kuida® cosmeceutical brand with Fedco and Linio, two of the most prominent consumer distribution channels for wellness and beauty products in Colombia. In combination with the initial product launch through Farmatodo and Farmalisto, it is anticipated that the Kuida® brand will now be made available in up to 78 retail locations and through the country's leading online portal for beauty products. Initially focused on distribution in Colombia, these agreements create potential for the Company to further expand distribution across other Latin America jurisdictions.
Alvaro Torres, CEO and a Director of Khiron, comments: "These agreements with Fedco and Linio further deliver on our market strategy for Kuida® and provide the flexibility to tap into cross-selling opportunities as consumers increasingly adopt CBD based cosmeceuticals into their skincare regimen. We look forward to working with some of the largest retailers in Colombia as the Kuida® brand increases its presence in the marketplace and is positioned for future growth."
Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA) is looking into beauty and wellness Internationally, as through its subsidiary Aphria Deutschland GmbH, it recently launched the Company's first CBD-based nutraceutical, the first product in its CBD-based cosmetics line for the German market. Featuring CBD derived from hemp, the CannRelief brand of products are being produced in the European Union and distributed by the Company's subsidiary, CC Pharma, which has access to more than 13,000 pharmacies throughout Germany.
CannRelief CBD oils are being sold in both a 5% and 10% CBD concentration and can be found in select stores across Germany. A range of skincare and other products, including creams, serums and masks will be introduced under the CannRelief brand in a phased rollout in 2019. More information about CannRelief products can be found at cannrelief.de.
With the beauty and wellness market expected to have continued growth and consumer mindsets changing, we can expect more cannabis companies to diversify into this area as well as increased interest from large scale retailers, as seen recently from Walmart.

#Cannabis Sticks to its Roots: Cannabis Companies Continue to Prioritize the Importance of “People” (CSE: $CHM.C) (CSE: $HUGE.C) (CSE: $SLNG.C) (TSXV: $FIRE.V)
#Cannabis Sticks to its Roots: Cannabis Companies Continue to Prioritize the Importance of “People” (CSE: $CHM.C) (CSE: $HUGE.C) (CSE: $SLNG.C) (TSXV: $FIRE.V)
Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – April 10, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at how, as the sector matures, companies are racing to snap up industry leaders to enhance their position in the marketplace.
Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE:CHM) (OTCQB: CHMJF), an investment company dedicated to the US cannabis sector endeavoring to provide turn-key solutions for the regulated cannabis industry, recently announced the addition of Nicholas J. Zitelli, a.k.a. “Nico Escondido,” to its board of directors.
Mr. Zitelli is a well-known cannabis industry leader. He has led numerous initiatives and contributed to highly regarded companies in the industry. Some of his accomplishments include: leading the High Times Cannabis Cup as the Competition Director since 2010, leading the digital evolution of the Cannabis Cup; creating a scoring algorithm for cannabis products that included both qualitative and quantitative criteria, and overseeing the world’s largest known cannabis database containing over 30,000 cannabis products. Mr. Zitelli also founded the Cannabis Genetics Institute (CGI) in Amsterdam, Holland where they focus on breeding customized medicinal strains of cannabis that are ailment-specific.

Chemistree’s President, Karl Kottmeier, stated, "As Chemistree continues its focus on building one of the world's leading cannabis companies, it is critical to have an experienced board to put us in the best possible position to achieve success. These are exciting times for Chemistree and Nico represents another outstanding addition to our board of directors on our path of rapid growth. The High Times Cannabis Cup is the most prestigious and extensive cannabis-related competition in the world and having his broad knowledge/specialized expertise, impressive network and reputation will be invaluable assets to the Company’s strategic direction.”
FSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE) (OTCQB: FSDDF) has also realized the importance of having industry pioneers on the board, having announced the appointment of Charles V. Pollack, Jr., M.A., M.D., FACEP, FAAEM, FAHA, FACC, FESC, FCPP, as Chairman of its Scientific Advisory Board. In this capacity, Dr. Pollack will serve as a strategic guide and resource to the Company as it develops disruptive, science-based, cannabinoid therapeutics.
Dr. Charles Pollack is an international leader in emergency medicine and founded The Lambert Center for the Study of Medicinal Cannabis and Hemp at Thomas Jefferson University, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2016. The Center is the only comprehensive academic resource for education, research and practice around the use of medicinal cannabinoids to be housed in a US university. He is the only physician to have received the American College of Emergency Physicians' highest national awards in both teaching and research; he also received the national teaching award from the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors. He is the only US emergency physician to be elected a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology. He is also an Editorial Board member of the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research.
Industry awards like the High Times 100 have helped recognize these industry pioneers ong with SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CSE: SLNG), a leading cannabis consumer packaged goods company, who recently announced that co-founders Peter Miller and Billy Levy have been honored as High Times 100 Most Influential People in Cannabis for 2019 for their leadership in the cannabis industry. The High Times 100 is recognized as the highest honor for a cannabis executive or entrepreneur.
Peter and Billy said, "On behalf of SLANG Worldwide's amazing teams and best-selling brands and fantastic partners, we are thrilled to be honored by High Times 100. The cannabis industry has been built by passionate mavericks from all walks of life and all over the world whose efforts and results are now becoming more accepted and welcomed, and we are proud to work alongside these people every day. We look forward to continuing to grow SLANG businesses in a responsible and inclusive way for our customers, communities, industry partners and investors."
The same can be said for The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) who congratulated its President and Founder, John Fowler for also being named to High Times list of The 100 Most Influential People in Cannabis.
Mr. Fowler, a pioneer of the Canadian cannabis industry, spent over a decade in the medical cannabis sector as a cultivator, influencer, patients-rights advocate and lawyer. In 2013, Mr. Fowler founded Supreme Cannabis' wholly-owned subsidiary 7ACRES with a clear vision: to create Canada's leading premium cannabis flower brand and produce high quality cannabis on a commercial scale. Today, 7ACRES is one of Canada's leading premium brands. Mr. Fowler is also Vice Chair, Adult Use and Director of the Cannabis Council of Canada, the leading organization of Canada's licensed producers of Cannabis under Health Canada's federal Cannabis Act.
The industry may be progressing at a seemingly break-neck pace and as many other industry experts and directors from big tobacco, alcohol and pharmaceuticals flock to be a part of it, it is good to see there is still recognition for the pioneers and early adopters. Cannabis is growing into a massive global industry but even as it progresses, there remains a commitment to its origins and roots.
