Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com “potcasts”, looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
In today’s podcast I look at a few of the day’s earlier announcements.
But first, Strainprint™ Technologies Ltd, the leader in cannabis data and analytics, is pleased to be recognized for "Best App" at the 2019 O'Cannabiz Industry Awards Gala.
"We are so incredibly humbled to receive this award," said Strainprint CEO, Andrew Muroff. "From the very beginning, we designed the Strainprint app as a tool by patients for patients. To date, we have already helped tens of thousands learn which strains, doses and routes of administration are working best for them and their symptoms. Being voted "Best App" inspires us to not rest on our success, but rather to continually advance our technology and tools to create next-generation products that provide wider wellness support for our patients that use cannabis. In the end, it's all about helping patients use cannabis better."
To date, Strainprint has gathered more than 1.2 million real-time patient reported outcomes from tens of thousands of medical cannabis patients treating with lab-tested products. These valuable patient insights can be leveraged by licensed producers, clinics, researchers, pharmacists, physicians, government and the entire global cannabis industry.
Founded in Toronto in 2016, Strainprint™ Technologies Ltd. is the leading demand-side cannabis data and analytics company. With the world's largest longitudinal, observational data-set of its kind and a mission to advance the scientific understanding of cannabis and its legitimization as a mainstream therapy, Strainprint helps medical cannabis patients and doctors to use cannabis in the most effective and responsible way possible.

SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CSE: SLNG), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods company with a robust portfolio of renowned brands distributed across 2,600 stores in 11 US states, announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire LBA Global Corporation and its Lunchbox Alchemy brand portfolio and subsidiary Hydra Distribution. The proposed transaction will bolster SLANG's position in the Pacific Northwest by adding a complementary portfolio of top-selling products in Oregon and California and robust supply chain and distribution capabilities.
Founded in 2014, LBA is the owner of the award-winning Lunchbox Alchemy portfolio of cannabis brands, which has been recognized for its innovations in cannabis-infused edibles and concentrate production. Today, LBA owns and manufactures a variety of ingestibles products (gummies, hard candies, and pastries) that collectively rank as the 2nd best-selling ingestible brand in Oregon since 2014, per BDS Analytics. Lunchbox Alchemy also owns a CBD-infused product line that is currently available in retail stores in 40 states across the US.
SLANG Co-Founder and CEO Peter Miller said, "Lunchbox Alchemy's products have proven themselves in some of the most competitive markets in the US. Their success is based on knowing what consumers want and delivering consistent product quality, diverse portion sizes, formulations and high-quality organic and vegan ingredients. LBA's impressive management team, with their diverse CPG expertise, and the company's extraction, manufacturing facilities and distribution business will bring significant new opportunities for SLANG's branded products in Oregon and California, further establishing SLANG's position as a leading global cannabis CPG company."

The Company also announced that Jakob Ripshtein, Aphria's President, will resign from the Company. Mr. Ripshtein will remain in his current role until June 7, 2019. His current responsibilities will be shared among the existing senior leadership team.
"On behalf of the Board of Directors and Aphria team, we thank Jakob for his contributions to the Company over the past year and wish him well in his future endeavors. He has been instrumental in assembling the incredible team we are fortunate to have today that will carry his responsibilities forward," said Irwin D. Simon, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Aphria Inc. "I am very pleased to welcome Jim and Maureen to Aphria, and to promote Tim. A top priority for us is to continue to build our executive talent and culture.
