Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good morning and welcome to another Investorideas.com potcast – looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Today we will be looking at announcements from Namaste Technologies Inc. trading on the TSX-Venture as N, Organigram Holdings Inc. trading on the TSX-Venture as OGI and the OTCQB as OGRMF and MYM Nutraceuticals Inc., trading on the CSE as MYM.

Namaste Technologies Inc. announced that the Company has received official approval of the latest version of its NamasteMD cannabis telemedicine App for Google Android devices, which is live in the Google Play store as of 8 AM EST August 23^rd, 2018. Approximately 50% of mobile phone users in Canada use Android devices. With the new launch of the apps on both iOS and Android platforms, NamasteMD can now facilitate online patient consultations, free of charge, within 15 minutes from sign-up on the App. The Company anticipates launching real-time consultations through NamasteMD within the next 10 days. Further to the Company's Aug 22^nd news release, NamasteMD has achieved over 14,000 registered users, representing a 130% increase over a 2-month period. The Company anticipates significant acceleration in conversion rates with additional exposure through the Google Play store.

Namaste has developed Canada's first fully-compliant medical cannabis patient portal, available on iPhone or Android devices, which allows Namaste to acquire patients faster and at a lower cost in comparison with other Licensed Producers. Patients acquired through NamasteMD have access to purchase medical cannabis through Namaste's cultivation partners. Under the terms of various Educational Service Agreements, Namaste collects between 15-20% of the gross revenue derived from patient purchasing through referrals to Licensed Producers under NamasteMD. Namaste is presently partnered with over 10 Licensed Producers.

With Namaste's medical cannabis "sales-only" license imminent, the Company anticipates a sharp increased revenue and margin with Cannmart booking full revenue amounts from patient ordering and the Company will aim to maintain a minimum of a 50% gross margin on cannabis products sold directly on its website.

Organigram Holdings Inc., the parent company of Organigram Inc, a leading licensed producer of medical marijuana, announced that the Company has signed a supply agreement with Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) in anticipation of the launch of a legal, adult use recreational cannabis market in the province.

"We are pleased to announce our supply agreement with NSLC," says Greg Engel, Organigram's Chief Executive Officer. "Our home markets have always been a key priority for Organigram and this announcement solidifies our position as the market leader here in the Maritimes. With supply arrangements in place in six provinces, we take great pride in our place as a national leader working towards a responsible, sustainable and successful adult-use recreational cannabis market."

MYM Nutraceuticals Inc., announced that it has entered into a partnership with the University of Sherbrooke to study the medicinal and industrial uses of cannabis and hemp. Researchers at the University of Sherbrooke will work with an on-site coordinator to create partnerships by targeting expertise in various faculties and training centres.

During cannabis prohibition, research on its compounds and by-products remained very limited. This partnership aims to explore the benefits of the cannabis plant. "Université de Sherbrooke groups together a broad set of skills in relation to the opportunities associated with cannabis," said Vincent Aimez, Vice-President, Commercialization and Partnerships, University of Sherbrooke. "MYM's contribution will help actively explore multiple research projects. This is a completely new and highly promising multidisciplinary partnership we wish to nurture and grow in the coming years."

Avenues of collaboration range from identifying the best alternative energy systems in greenhouses to the effects of cannabinoids on the nervous and immune systems. Research will also include: industrial materials manufacturing, eco materials, hemp fiber biofuels and opportunities created from the by-products of cannabis production.

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good morning and welcome to another Investorideas.com potcast ; looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Today we will be looking at announcements from Choom™ (CSE: CHOO & OTCQB:CHOOF), CannaRoyalty Corp.(CSE: CRZ) , Village Farms International, Inc. (TSX: VFF and OTC: VFFIF), Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. ( TSX-Venture: EMH) , Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED and NYSE:CGC ) and FSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE and OTC: FSDDF).

Choom™ an emerging, fully-integrated cannabis company, announced that it has advanced its retail portfolio and the build-out of its cannabis retail store network in Alberta and British Columbia.

Choom has secured the rights to an additional 5 retail locations in Alberta and 7 in B.C. These new retail opportunities bring Choom's total retail potential up to 52 locations across western Canada. Choom's rapidly expanding provincial presence now stands at 29 leases in highly strategic and secure locations in Alberta with 28 applications submitted, in combination with 17 retail opportunities in B.C.

CannaRoyalty Corp. today announced the Company's financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018.

"Q2 marked a turning point for CannaRoyalty and its shareholders as the team translated strategy and execution into record financial performance. The Company generated earnings per share of $0.18 primarily by delivering on its stated objective of rationalizing early passive investments. The Company also generated a record adjusted EBITDA result for a Canadian-listed cannabis company²," said Marc Lustig, CEO of CannaRoyalty. "Q2 is the beginning of a multi-quarter parabolic step change in revenue, powered by sequential acquisitions and organic growth. CannaRoyalty generated a record $3.5 million in revenue this quarter, a 446% increase from Q1 and more than the Company generated in all of 2017. These results reflect the successful initiation of the Company's strategic focus on building its Californian distribution and brands platform. This growth is expected to continue in Q3 and Q4 as FloraCal and RVR are added to the Company's financials and as our team continues to grow market share and expand the Company's supporting manufacturing and value-add services footprint. Both RVR and FloraCal are performing above expectations, and we are actively executing our plans to increase the revenue generating capacity of both companies. I thank all of our long term shareholders for their faith in this team and our plan. I am proud to say that this is truly just the beginning of the CannaRoyalty story."

Some of the financial results highlights included:

· Q2-2018 Revenue of $3.5 million compared to $643,437 in Q1-2018 – marks the successful initiation of California distribution and manufacturing strategy.

· Net income of $9.3 million (EPS of $0.18) and EBITDA of $10.4 million generated through execution of stated strategy to rationalize non-core assets and an increase in gross margin related to growing product sales.

· FloraCal (closed July 2^nd) and RVR Distribution ("RVR") (closing in Q3-2018) are performing above plan and are expected to drive sequential revenue growth through the second half of 2018 and beyond.

· Premier cannabis brand development platform powered by five licensed distribution and manufacturing facilities across California, delivering several of the state's top independent branded products to the majority of licensed dispensaries in the state.¹⁷

Village Farms International, Inc. and Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inctoday announced that their 50/50 joint venture for large-scale, low-cost, high-quality cannabis production, Pure Sunfarms, received from Health Canada its third amendment to the cultivation license for its Delta 3 greenhouse in Delta, BC. This amendment permits Pure Sunfarms to expand its cannabis production area by 195,000 square feet to approximately 420,000 square feet of the 1.1-million square foot Delta 3 production facility. The newly licensed area will be in commercial production this week, as the Delta 3 nursery has been producing cuttings in anticipation of this expansion.

Pure Sunfarms expects to have the full 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 facility, one of the single largest cannabis growing facilities in the world, converted for cannabis production by year end. The technologically-advanced Delta 3 greenhouse design is based on decades of large-scale, low-cost agricultural production experience and extensive cannabis expertise, resulting in a state-of-the-art facility with 17 grow rooms (seven of which are now licensed) optimized for year-round harvesting (more than 85 harvests annually) and an automated process line encompassing harvesting, trimming, drying and packaging.

Canopy Rivers Corporation, the venture capital investment platform of Canopy Growth Corporation, announced that it has set a date of September 12, 2018, for its upcoming shareholder meeting in connection with the proposed business combination involving AIM2 Ventures Inc. and Canopy Rivers.

As previously announced, Canopy Rivers has entered into a definitive amalgamation agreement with AIM2, which outlines the terms and conditions pursuant to which the parties will complete the Go Public Transaction. The Go Public Transaction will result in a reverse take-over of AIM2 by Canopy Rivers and will constitute AIM2's "Qualifying Transaction" under Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual.

Subject to receipt of all required approvals, including the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Go Public Transaction is expected to close and the subordinated voting shares of the resulting issuer are expected to commence trading on the TSXV under the symbol "RIV" during the week of September 17, 2018.

FSD Pharma Inc. reported today that its strategic R&D partner, SciCann Therapeutics Inc., has achieved positive results in a pre-clinical efficacy study of its proprietary "Steady Stomach" CBD combination product for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Under the terms of the agreement between FSD and SciCann, FSD Pharma holds exclusive marketing and distribution rights for the "Steady Stomach" product in Canada.

The "Steady Stomach" product is a patent-pending combination of Cannabidiol (CBD) together with additional synergistic factors that potentiate and activate the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD, thus making it more effective as a potential treatment for IBD disorders. All active ingredients of the "Steady Stomach" formulation are natural food-grade compounds, thus qualifying it as a CBD food supplement product. Previously completed tox studies in rodents performed by SciCann has demonstrated very high safety profile for the combination product, without any observed adverse events.

The pre-clinical study used a gold standard rodent model of Ulcerative Colitis, and demonstrated a significant 3-fold improved efficacy for the combination product, as compared to CBD alone, in reversing the deleterious effects caused by the colitis induction agent in the study model. Specifically, while the CBD alone arm achieved only a 27% improvement score as compared to the non-treated control arm, the "Steady Stomach" combination treatment arm achieved a 79% improvement score, thus almost completely alleviating the Colitis symptoms induced in the model animals.

"With Canopy Rivers, we are well-positioned to take advantage of the universe of investment opportunities unfolding globally in the ever-expanding cannabis economy," said Bruce Linton, Chairman and acting CEO of Canopy Rivers, and co-CEO of Canopy Growth.

To date, Canopy Rivers has made investments in eleven domestic and international companies, establishing a diversified portfolio of licensed producers, late stage licensed producer applicants, pharmaceutical formulators, brand developers and distributors, retail networks, and technology and media platforms.

As previously announced, subject to the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, the net proceeds from Canopy Rivers' $104 million subscription receipt financing are expected to be released from escrow in connection with the closing of the Go Public Transaction. The oversubscribed private placement, which was co-led by CIBC Capital Markets, GMP Securities L.P. and Eight Capital, on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Cormark Securities Inc., INFOR Financial Inc. and PI Financial Corp., closed on July 6, 2018.
