Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast - following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today we will be looking at updates from Canopy Growth Corporation trading on the TSX as WEED and the NYSE as CGC, CROP Infrastructure Corp. trading on the CSE as CROP and CannaRoyalty Corp. trading on the CSE as CRZ.
Canopy Growth Corporation announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Spectrum Cannabis has partnered with the Ontario Long Term Care Association (OLTCA) by way of an unrestricted educational grant to pursue the development and implementation of a long-term care (LTC) medical cannabis pilot study and care pathway for utilization in Ontario long term care homes. The six-month pilot aims to measure how medical cannabis use can potentially displace other, less-desirable therapeutics for both pain and cognitive function for residents in a select group of homes.
Development and implementation of the pilot will be coordinated by the OLTCA with Canopy Growth providing all product from its Spectrum Cannabis brand. Key components of the four phase program include: the initial recruiting of long-term care homes; identifying physicians to create a care pathway for the use of medical cannabis in LTC; providing education tools for front line staff and clinicians delivering care to residents; evaluating quality of life, clinical outcomes, caregiver stress and the economic and humanistic benefit of cannabis adoption for residents and ultimately, presenting the findings of the study. This will be one of the world's first and largest medical cannabis pilot programs in the long-term care space and will register as many as 500 residents and follow them over the course of care.
"There is clearly an interest in the long-term care space to explore medical cannabis as an alternative to traditional medications for pain and degenerative cognitive function," commented Mark Zekulin, President & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "The pilot study we've announced today is the first step in developing an evidence-based, best practice approach to medical cannabis that will result in consistent care for thousands of seniors and ultimately improve quality of life and outcomes in long-term care homes."
The project will utilize a quality-improvement framework similar to that developed for the OMNI Diabetes Protocol (winner of the OLTCA Quality Improvement Innovation of the Year and now adopted as the provincial standard for diabetes care). This same approach has been used to develop care pathways for COPD, influenza, stroke prevention and spasticity, delivering exceptional outcomes each time, while ensuring the approach is truly interdisciplinary.
"Medical cannabis is currently prescribed for residents as appropriate, but it's still an emerging area," says Candace Chartier, CEO, Ontario Long Term Care Association. "Through this partnership and pilot study, we hope to provide more clarity to long-term care clinicians and frontline staff about the use of medical cannabis for residents."
Today's announcement aligns with Canopy Growth's continued focus through Spectrum Cannabis to provide seniors with access to medical cannabis as well as education on its potential benefits and applications. Most recently, Spectrum Cannabis was named the preferred education partner and supplier of choice of medical cannabis for Centric Health and the seniors that it serves both in long-term care and retirement residences, as well as seniors living in the community.
CROP Infrastructure Corp. announced that further to its LOI with Naturally Splendid Enterprises (TSX-V: NSP) (previously announced on August 14th 2018) CROP will utilize NSP's proprietary HempOmega™ powder created from microencapsulated hemp seed oil in its 'CannaDrink' functional beverage line currently being developed.
CannaDrink will now be available in all other jurisdictions containing HempOmega™ where CBD products are not yet approved. CROP's new cannabis-infused line of soft drinks called CannaDrink will be a zero calorie, non-GMO, ketogenic-friendly line of soda pop, tea, and coffee variations.
HempOmega™ is a unique and proprietary homogenous powder created from microencapsulated hemp seed oil. It is a high-quality and sustainable omega fatty acid alternative ingredient. Due to its unique powder format, it solves the formulation challenge manufacturers face when trying to add oil to existing products and has proven to increase the bioavailability of omega fatty acids. The global carbonated soft drinks market is projected to reach USD 605.6 billion by 2025, according to a March 2018 report by Grand View Research, Inc.
In addition to its CannaDrink beverage line, CROP is working with Naturally Splendid to develop a "Hempire" branded hulled hemp seed and protein powder product line. CROP and Naturally Splendid are currently testing a variety of flavors and formulations created by NSP specifically for the Hempire Brand that will be enhanced with NSP's HempOmega™.
CannaRoyalty Corp., a leading North American cannabis products and brands company, announced today that it has finalized a definitive agreement with Australis Capital Inc. whereby Australis will purchase 2,200,000 common shares (the "Share Purchase") in the capital of Wagner Dimas Inc. ("Wagner Dimas") from Cannroy Delaware Inc. ("Cannroy Delaware"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CannaRoyalty. The Agreement replaces the letter of intent signed by the parties on September 17, 2018.
"As CannaRoyalty continues to grow and build a solid presence in California as a cannabis brands company and a major third-party distributor, our focus has been concentrated on realizing value from assets that are non-core to our business. This Agreement cements this stated strategy. The approximately 182% return on investment from the sale of our equity stake in Wagner Dimas reinforces our commitment to generate significant returns for shareholders and fund accretive growth in our key markets in North America," commented Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of CannaRoyalty.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Australis has agreed to purchase Cannroy Delaware's 22% equity interest in Wagner Dimas. As consideration for the Share Purchase, Australis shall pay C$3,000,000, 1.5 million in cash and 1.5 million by Australis issuing 738,916 units at a deemed price of CAD$2.03 per Unit.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast - following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today we will be looking at announcements from Organigram Holdings Inc. trading on the TSX-VENTURE as OGI, Khiron Life Sciences Corp. trading on the TSX-VENTURE as KHRN, Phivida Holdings Inc. trading on the CSE as VIDA, The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. trading on the TSX as TGOD and PUF Ventures Inc. trading on the CSE as PUF.
Organigram Holdings Inc., the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading licensed producer of medical marijuana, announced that is has closed the previously-announced private placement investment in Eviana Health Corporation (CSE:EHC).
Organigram along with an institutional strategic investor each participated 50% in a $10 million debenture offering by Eviana.
"Our investment in Eviana represents just the beginning of our international aspirations" said Greg Engel, CEO of Organigram, "but is representative of our approach to work with trusted local partners to both move quickly with boots on the ground and to navigate regional regulatory issues effectively".
Khiron Life Sciences Corp., an integrated medical cannabis company with its core operations in Colombia, announced today that it has signed multi-channel distribution agreements for Kuida®, its first CBD-based skincare brand. These agreements have been secured with Colombia´s most recognized distributors in the cosmeceutical industry.
Alvaro Torres, Khiron Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer stated, "These key channel partnerships enable us to execute our first go-to-market strategy, by entering the $5.6 Billion Colombian skincare market with significant distribution and access to large and established consumer networks."
As part of a robust strategy, Kuida® launches with secured distributor agreements that leverage their market reach, geographic location, scale and ability to ensure the Kuida® brand achieves its market potential. These agreements reflect retail, on-line and wholesale distribution, and further the strategic goals of the Company's wellness unit.
Retail distribution: Kuida has entered into an exclusive agreement with Farmatodo, one of Colombia´s largest pharmacy chains with 56 stores and over 1.2 Million monthly transactions, generating annual revenue of more than US $120 Million across more than 10 product categories including, medicine, personal care, beauty and skin care, and food and beverage, among others.
The exclusive agreement gives consumers direct product access based on agreed prominent store merchandising and point of purchase display across all Farmatodo stores. Following an exclusive period with Farmatodo, Kuida will also be available at other leading retail chains across the country.
Online Distribution: Kuida has signed an agreement with Farmalisto, Colombia's leading digital drugstore with more than 800,000 monthly visits, sustained annual sales growth of 150% and a strong presence in both Colombia and Mexico. Farmalisto is a leading e-commerce platform, based on a strong CRM program allowing patients and consumers to access medicines and products with ease.
Wholesale Distribution: Kuida has entered into an agreement with Distribuciones AXA S.A., one of Colombia's largest national distributors in the pharmaceutical sector, with 14.000 product SKU's and more than 8,000 retail clients. AXA will play an important role in Kuida´s development, allowing the brand to reach an expanded network of retailers and clients.
Furthermore, Khiron's wellness unit has a robust e-commerce strategy for Kuida that includes direct sales through www.kuidaskincare.com
Phivida Holdings Inc. recently saw the decision by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to remove the cannabis component cannabidiol (CBD) from its Schedule 1 list of controlled substances. The DEA defines Schedule 1 as a list of controlled substances with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. CBD, when contained in "finished dosage formulations" has now been moved to Schedule 5, defined as drugs with lower potential for abuse. The ruling does not broadly apply to CBD.
"We see this reclassification of CBD in pharmaceuticals as a good sign that will bolster the growing awareness of CBD as a substance that delivers many benefits, and opens the door for other CBD-based treatments, in line with the recent FDA approval of a drug to treat childhood epilepsy," said Jim Bailey, President and CEO. "Phivida is launching its Oki line of functional beverages which provide a spectrum of non-psychoactive phytocannabinoids through infusion with active hemp extract. While our Oki and Vida+ product lines are not subject to FDA approval, as we grow to have product on shelves in all 50 states, we will benefit from the increased acceptance of the efficacy of cannabis and hemp products.
On September 12, 2018, Phivida announced the bottling and launch of its Oki brand of functional beverages and supplements, infused with active hemp extract. Oki will be available to consumers in up to 2,400 natural specialty store locations within the United States, in a significant distribution channel market valued at over USD 4.1 billion in retail sales.
Phivida also announced today the issuance of 1,508,512 common shares of Phivida Holdings. The common shares are for payment for a combination of consulting services provided in regards to an advisory on the Cannabis Beverages Inc. ("CanBev") joint venture with WeedMD Inc. and management sourcing.
The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. announced the closing of the previously announced acquisition of HemPoland. The transaction has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange and cements the Company's commitment to building shareholder value through international expansion.
"HemPoland has proven an ability to execute through quality product development and strong brand awareness. We are incredibly pleased with this transaction, a key milestone in our long-term acquisitions strategy. The acquisition is accretive to our shareholders, delivers immediate revenue, and opens a new vertical for TGOD. We're incredibly excited to have such an innovative and strong entrepreneurial team join our TGOD family," said Brian Athaide, TGOD's CEO.
Europe is home to three-quarters of a billion potential consumers, and HemPoland is a leading manufacturer and marketer of premium CBD oils within this market. This acquisition provides TGOD with immediate revenue, access to HemPoland's significant distribution network, state-of-the-art hemp oil extraction technology and the premium top selling Cannabigold brand.
PUF Ventures Inc., an advanced ACMPR license applicant,announced that Natures Hemp Corp., a biotechnology and consumer products company focused on unlocking the true value of hemp for both B2B and B2C markets, has reported the successful formulation and initial test results of a hemp based coffee creamer by the Richardson Centre of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals at the University of Manitoba.
"Working with the University of Manitoba, Natures Hemp formulated an all-natural, hemp-based, non-dairy coffee creamer which tastes good and has all the characteristics of conventional creamers without the worrying ingredients," said Derek Ivany, President and CEO of PUF Ventures. "Coffee drinkers are looking for a healthy alternative to conventional coffee creamers and Natures Hemp all-natural coffee creamer comes with all the healthy benefits of cannabidiols including: healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, iron, vitamin E, and essential amino acids."
Hemp is traditionally known for its use in textiles due its long and strong fibers, but hemp seeds have become the source of a robust health food and alternative medicinal marketplace. Hemp seeds are being recognized as a superfood, like flax and chia seeds, because they are high in protein, contain 20 amino acids, and are also high in the fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6. Seeds are typically pressed to produce oil and the remaining byproduct is processed into a flour from which products like pasta, baked goods and other healthy foods can be created. Nature Hemp's healthy alternative non-dairy coffee creamer is made using the whole seed with added water.
