#Cannabis Investor Idea: Yield Growth (CSE: $BOSS.C) Reports Agreements to Sell #Cannabis Topicals through 400 Store Distribution Network in Oregon @yieldgrowth
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - December 26, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS, C.BOSS) reports that its new subsidiary UJ Topicals Inc. has entered agreements with Nova Paths LLC to manufacture and distribute its THC and CBD infused line of topical products throughout the state of Oregon. Nova Paths is an Oregon Liquor Control Commission approved and licensed manufacturer and distributor of cannabis products in Oregon.
Yield Growth's wholly-owned subsidiary, UJ Topicals Inc., has granted to Nova Paths a non-exclusive license to its brand and proprietary product formulations for pain balm, analgesic pain gel, a pain patch, massage oil, capsules, and other products (the "UJ Topicals Line"). Nova Paths will manufacture CBD and THC infused versions of the products under Oregon law. UJ Topicals has also appointed Nova Paths as its exclusive distributor for the UJ Topicals Line in Oregon. Under the terms of the agreements, Nova Paths will retain a fee of 25% of the wholesale revenues from sales of UJ Topicals and pay the balance of wholesale revenue, less certain expenses, to UJ Topicals.
New Frontier Data projects $1.04 billion in Oregon's total cannabis sales in 2020 - $856 million recreational, $187 million medical. That will rank the state as the fifth largest US market behind California ($3.1 billion), Washington ($2.28 billion), Colorado ($1.83 billion) and Massachusetts ($1.05 billion).
"We are excited to bring our high-quality, Ayurveda-inspired products infused with THC and CBD to Oregon," said Penny Green, CEO of Yield Growth and UJ Topicals. "We will now look to finding licensing partners to launch our THC infused line of topicals in other legal states such as California and Washington."
UJ Topicals Inc. was recently incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Yield Growth. It has acquired rights from Yield Growth subsidiary, Urban Juve Provisions Inc., to infuse its catalogue of over 50 product formulas with CBD and THC and market the products through appropriate channels. UJ Topicals is developing several international topicals brands with the intent of launching them in jurisdictions where cannabis topicals are legal. The Yield Growth Corp. is building an international network for the legal manufacturing and sale of products containing hemp oil, CBD and THC.
Topicals are cannabis-infused products which are most popularly chosen for localized pain relief, muscle soreness, tension, and inflammation. Anecdotal evidence exists for an even wider spectrum of benefits, from psoriasis, dermatitis and itching, to headaches and cramping. Topicals are a fast growing industry within the cannabis sector. According to data from BDS Analytics, sales of topical cannabis products grew by 82% from 2016 to 2017 in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and California. Legal topicals sold in these states included CBD and THC infused creams, lotions, massage oils, lubricants, lip balm and patches, with infused balms and salves being the top selling items.
