Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
In today’s podcast we look at a few private and public company announcements.
AUDACIOUS (Astralis Capital Inc.) (CSE:AUSA) and Thai-based partner Golden Triangle Health have partnered to open the first Herbidus Medical Center in Bangkok, which is also the first medical cannabis clinic in Southeast Asia supported by a U.S. Multi-State Operator (MSO).
Herbidus is among the first clinics in Asia that can prescribe cannabis for medical treatments in compliance with the law. It uses medicine approved by the Government Pharmaceutical Organization and is staffed by doctors that follow global standards for use of cannabis in patient treatment.
"Interest in medical cannabis is expanding rapidly in Thailand," said Terry Booth, Chief Executive Officer at AUDACIOUS. "With the opening of the Herbidus Medical Center, we are looking forward to bringing AUDACIOUS' cannabis expertise and seasoned corporate leadership to the Thai cannabis market. This is one of several initiatives that we are embarking on with Golden Triangle Health, which along with its parent company enjoys robust distribution channels across Thailand, as well as nimble and powerful white label capabilities for cannabis product manufacturing."
Mr. Booth continued, "GTH will also receive support from our Chief Science Officer, Dr. Jason Dyck, and will be able to utilize his knowledge and experience. This provides Herbidus with access to one of the global leaders in medical cannabis science, resulting in Herbidus patients receiving the highest standards of care in the industry. This will leverage the years of research we have performed in Canada and other countries, including Dr. Dyck's studies on one of the world's largest databases of medical cannabis users to identify the primary reasons for medical cannabis authorization and the health outcomes of these patients."
As Thailand begins to more aggressively expand opportunities for legal cannabis businesses, AUDACIOUS and Golden Triangle Health are poised to serve the nation of 70 million people with cannabis services and products grounded in years of successful and professional cannabis pursuits in North America.
Itself a spin off from Thai public company NR Instant Produce PCL with market cap close to $400M, GTH is well positioned to grow rapidly in the nascent Thai market. Following a soft launch, Herbidus has already seen close to 800 patients, showing the pent-up demand in Thailand for medical cannabis related services. Dr. Jason Dyck, CSO at AUDACIOUS, commented, "Leveraging the knowledge gained from years of studying one of the world's largest databases of medical cannabis users, we have made significant advances in understanding the medical conditions that patients are seeking cannabis treatment for as well as studying the health outcomes of these patients. The results of these studies will now become an integral part of the knowledge base of the practitioners at our Herbidus clinics to help our patients."
Golden Triangle co-founder Tom Kruesopon said, "Golden Triangle Health already has strong brand equity in Thailand and across Asia. Our partnership with AUDACIOUS to open Herbidus helps propel us even further," "We believe that together, we can be one of the most important players in the Asian cannabis market, following our joint launch in the Asian CBD market earlier this year."
Added AUDACIOUS Chief Operating Officer Duke Fu: "We believe the nascent cannabis market in Asia offers thrilling new and massive addressable market for AUDACIOUS. Given Golden Triangle Health's extensive and positive track record with distribution, cannabis and hemp manufacturing and healthcare in Thailand, we know this partnership is ideal for showcasing the true medical and economic benefits of cannabis."

Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ: CGC), a world-leading diversified cannabis, hemp, and cannabis device company, announced the appointment of Judy Hong and Jonathan Di Tosto to its Executive Management Team, along with the creation of four new strategic roles within its Senior Leadership Team.
Effective immediately, Judy Hong has been appointed as the Company's Chief Financial Officer. With a proven financial and capital markets background built through more than 20 years of experience at Goldman Sachs & Co., Judy joined Canopy in 2019 as the Vice President of Investor Relations. Since arriving, Judy's deep knowledge of the consumer-packaged goods sector has helped shape Canopy's engagement with the financial community, as well as the Company's overall commercial strategy.
The Company is also pleased to welcome Jonathan Di Tosto to the Executive Management Team as the Company's new Chief Operations Officer (COO). Jonathan assumes the role of COO from Andrew MacCorquodale, who is building upon his five years of dedication to Canopy by transitioning into a strategic advisory role.

Prior to Canopy, Jonathan spent 16 years with George Weston Limited, most recently as VP, Planning & Logistics, where he was accountable for the end-to-end supply chain strategy, process, and execution throughout Canada and the U.S.
"As Canopy evolves, so does our leadership team and I'm pleased to welcome both Judy and Jonathan who have demonstrated their capabilities as leaders to drive our business forward," said David Klein, CEO, Canopy. "As we enter our new fiscal year and continue our focus on accelerating growth and advancing on our path to profitability, I feel strongly that we have the right team and strategy to realize our important ambitions for the benefit of our customers, team members, and shareholders.''
The new executive leaders join the Company at a pivotal time, as Canopy enters Fiscal Year '23 on Friday, April 1st with a focus on continued discipline and execution against its strategic priorities, including further expanding Canopy's premium flower portfolio and growing overall premium share in Canada, scaling the Company's high-impact global brands like BioSteel and Storz and Bickel, and continuing to develop Canopy's U.S. THC ecosystem pre- and post-permissibility.
To support the continued advancement of Canopy's U.S. strategy, the Company has created four new strategic roles within the Senior Leadership Team. These roles will be led by seasoned executives who previously held leadership roles at Constellation Brands and bring with them a breadth of experience, perspective, and capabilities to help Canopy achieve its business goals in the U.S. cannabis market in four focused areas: commercial sales, marketing, operations, and strategic alliances.
"These roles were developed to leverage Constellation's well-established understanding of the U.S. market, established commercial relationships, and extensive operational capabilities," said Klein. "Accessing Constellation's world-class in-market expertise will allow Canopy to strengthen our competitive positioning as we continue to build a foundation for long-term success in the U.S. market."
