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 thought leaders and experts. Today’s podcast features  news announcements from MedMen Enterprises Inc. trading on the CSE as MMEN and OTCQB as MMNFF, Aphria Inc. trading on the TSX as APH and the OTCQB as APHQF, MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. trading on the CSE as MYM and the OTC as MYMMF, Visionstate™ Corp. trading on the TSX-Venture as VIS and The Hydropothecary Corporation trading on the TSX as HEXO.

The United States’ legal cannabis market is projected to reach $11 billion in consumer spending in 2018 and more than $23 billion by 2022, according to the “The State of Legal Marijuana Markets, Sixth Edition” (SOLMM6) released today by Arcview Market Research in partnership with BDS Analytics. This growth has the potential to generate more than 467,000 full-time equivalent jobs in 2022.

According to SOLMM6, despite federal prohibition the U.S. legal cannabis industry experienced 31% growth in 2017 to reach $8.5 billion. Arcview forecasts that the continuing state-by-state roll-out of medical-use programs and then adult-use legalization, will bring nationwide spending in the U.S. to $23.4 billion in 2022, growing at a 22% compound annual growth rate over that five-year forecast period.

The Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States (STATES) Act, introduced by a bipartisan group of Congressional sponsors June 7 and endorsed by President Trump June 8, would legalize that economic activity for the first time at the federal level.
“The end of marijuana prohibition is in sight and what that means for this market cannot be overstated,” said Troy Dayton, CEO of the Arcview Group. “There are billions of dollars in institutional capital chomping at the bit to take advantage of this shift, but so far haven't found a major way in. This leaves a limited window for businesses to get a foothold and build value for liquidity events that might come sooner than any of us thought possible just a few months ago."
“Uruguay and Canada are leading the way on adult-use legalization, and Germany broke barriers in 2017 on medical-use availability. This means worldwide spending on legal cannabis should hit $32 billion by 2022,” said Tom Adams, Editor-in-Chief at Arcview Market Research and Managing Director of BDS Analytics’ Industry Intelligence Division.

MedMen Enterprises Inc. announced the forthcoming opening of its marquee location in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas.
Today, MedMen is scheduled to assume ownership and licensed operation of the New Amsterdam dispensary located at 823 3rd Street. The store will be remodeled and rebranded with MedMen’s signature design. A grand reopening is planned for mid-July.

Nevada is one of the fastest growing state-sanctioned marijuana markets in the country. According to the Nevada Department of Taxation, cannabis accounted for about $386 million of the total statewide taxable sales for the period of July 2017 through March 2018, about 19.3 percent of the state’s growth in taxable sales compared to the same period last year.

Aphria Inc. announced that it has closed its short form prospectus offering, on a bought deal basis, including the exercise in full of the underwriters' over-allotment option. A total of 21,835,510 common shares of the Company were sold at a price of $11.85 per Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $258,750,794. The Offering was underwritten by a syndicate of underwriters led by Clarus Securities Inc. and included Canaccord Genuity Corp., Cormark Securities Inc., Haywood Securities Inc. and INFOR Financial Inc.
The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used to finance the Company's recently announced state-of-the-art Extraction Centre of Excellence, its capacity increase at Aphria Diamond, as well as the construction of additional cannabis production facilities globally in both foreign and Canadian jurisdictions where cannabis is legally permitted and the evaluation of strategic acquisitions and investments and other industry related transactions.

MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. and Sherbrooke College announced the signing of a partnership agreement to develop a training program for MYM's employees assigned to the production of cannabis. The educational curriculum will be expanded and offered as a diploma (AEC) program as part of the Sherbrooke College (CEGEP) course offerings.

Under the terms of this agreement, MYM retains the services of the Sherbrooke College (CEGEP) Continuing Education Center to develop and deliver tailor-made training and learning programs leading to a diploma (AEC) in the fields of production, agricultural management and associated laboratory techniques specific to the production of cannabis. The agreement is valid for a five-year period, beginning July 1, 2018. Upon construction of the Company's production facility in Weedon, Québec being completed, the Company anticipates using such facility to provide certain physical and technical resources to the Continuing Education Center.

Visionstate™ Corp. announced that it has made a strategic investment in Alberta-based Freedom Cannabis Incin a round of seed funding. The investment into Freedom Cannabis was made on the basis of synergies that exist between the businesses with respect to potential sensor development for monitoring production processes and opportunities to leverage solar powered backyard greenhouses for the home growing market through Visionstate’s investment in Exceed Solar Inc.
The Cannabis Act was recently passed in the Canadian Senate, with production and use expected to become legal on October 17th 2018. “As the cannabis industry emerges in Canada, we see tremendous opportunity in partnering with Freedom Cannabis,” says Visionstate Corp. CEO John Putters, “particularly for integrating our IoT connected sensors and solar applications into the production process.”

Visionstate Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Visionstate Corp., is an Internet of Things (IoT) company that specializes in data collection and analytics through sensor data. The Company’s core product, WANDA™, is an IoT touch-screen solution that collects information on cleaning activities, monitors supply inventories, collects foot-traffic data using people sensors and provides detailed analytics, with a reporting dashboard that enables data-driven operational decisions.
“The cannabis industry offers huge potential for sensor applications, particularly in monitoring and quality control,” Putters explains. “Our relationship with Freedom Cannabis provides the opportunity to enter this potentially lucrative market.”

The Hydropothecary Corporation reported its financial results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2018, the third quarter of the 2018 fiscal year. The management discussion and analysis for the period and the accompanying financial statements and notes are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on its website at www.HEXO.com. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.

The highlights include:

Pt. Roberts, WA; Delta, BC –June 27, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its “potcast’ site, www.potcasts.ca  release today’s edition of its series, Investorideas.com potcastsCM - cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

Listen to the June 27 podcast:


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 thought leaders and experts. Today’s podcast featrues news announcements from Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX:s WEED and the NYSE: CGC), Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSX-Venture: N ) and Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: PVOT and OTCQB: PVOTF) .

First, we look at Canada’s continued push towards legalization this October.
Today, Health Canada announced the regulations supporting the Cannabis Act. The Cannabis Regulations and the new Industrial Hemp Regulations are based on best practices from the previous regulations for producers of cannabis for medical purposes and industrial hemp as well as extensive consultations held over the past several years.
The regulations include strict specifications for the plain packaging and labelling and analytical testing of all cannabis products as well as stringent physical and personnel security requirements for all federally licensed production sites. They outline details on the licences for cultivation and processing of cannabis, including micro-size licences, industrial hemp, research and analytical testing. The regulations also maintain a distinct system for access to cannabis for medical purposes.
During the transition between Royal Assent and the coming into force of the Cannabis Act on October 17, 2018, the Government of Canada will continue to work with the provinces and territories, Indigenous communities, stakeholders, and regulated parties to promote understanding of, and compliance with, the regulations and help ensure an orderly transition to the new legal framework.

The regulations announced today will be published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, on July 11, 2018, and are available upon request from Health Canada.

Canopy Growth Corporation today released its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.
The main highlights from the quarter are:
-        Total licensed footprint exceeding 2.4 million sq. ft.; 200,000 clones prepared and shipped from Ontario to jump start cultivation in million sq. ft. greenhouses in British Columbia;
-        Inventory of approximately 15,700 kilograms of dry cannabis, 7,000 litres of cannabis oils and 360 kilograms of softgel capsules at quarter end;
-        Secured deep channels into Canadian recreational market; multi-year supply agreements, with commitments totaling over 25,000 kg per year, with 5 provinces and territories announced to date; secured private "brick & mortar" and online cannabis retail licenses in Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador and Saskatchewan;
-        Annual and fourth quarter revenue of $77.9 million and $22.8 million, representing year over year increase of 95% and 56%, respectively;
-        Record Germany quarterly sales of $2.3 million;
-        Approximately $323 million cash on hand at year end to fund domestic and global expansion.


"With the recent launch of our Spectrum Softgels, strong sales in Canada and Germany and the expansion of our global footprint into Africa and further into Europe and Australia, we continue to drive our global leadership position in medical cannabis forward," said Bruce Linton, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. "The efforts of Canopy Growth and Canopy Health Innovations to develop a range of patented, insurance coverage eligible cannabis-based medicines took a critical step forward with the recent receipt of approval to conduct its first in a planned series of clinical trials. Believing that combining Canopy Health's growing intellectual property portfolio with our production and advanced manufacturing platform will speed time to market of disruptive medicines, we made the decision to pursue full ownership of Canopy Health Innovations."

Namaste Technologies Inc. announced the signing of a Master Services Agreement with YPB Group Ltd., an Australian based product verification and customer engagement company. Namaste has identified the need for its global customers to have confidence in the products they are purchasing, and for vendors to have access to granular data on their end-users. As such, Namaste plans to introduce YPB's solutions across its network of manufacturers and to Canadian Licensed Producers to bring certainty of authenticity and supply chain transparency to the entire legal cannabis industry globally. This coalition furthers Namaste's agenda in providing leading technology platforms for its global marketplace and in enhancing the user's experience for its customers.

Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. announce that it will file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Clinical Trial Application (CTA) with Health Canada to begin human clinical trials of PVT-005, the Company's pharmaceutical drug candidate for the treatment of Female Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). 
HSDD, the most common type of female sexual dysfunction ("FSD"), affects approximately 12 million women in the U.S. alone. The condition is characterized by low sexual desire and marked distress which are not attributable to existing medical, pharmacologic, psychiatric, or relationship issues. Approximately 6 million pre-menopausal women meet the diagnosis for acquired, generalized HSDD.

Using Pivot's drug formulation and delivery platform technologies, the Company will develop and aim to commercialize a topical cream containing cannabinoids ("PVT-N005") for perimenopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women who have noticed a decline in sexual desire and response. While erectile dysfunction in men has been extensively researched, very little has been completed on female sexual dysfunction which can involve reduced sex drive, difficulty becoming aroused, vaginal dryness, lack of orgasm and decreased sexual satisfaction.
