Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast we look at a few of this week’s announcements.

VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSXV: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIFannounced that its common shares will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange effective as of market open on January 24, 2020, under the current trading symbol of VIVO. In conjunction with the TSX listing, the Common Shares will be voluntarily delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange.

"The strength of the Toronto Stock Exchange is world-class, and this event represents a tremendous milestone for VIVO," said Barry Fishman, Chief Executive Officer. "We believe the TSX listing will increase VIVO's exposure to a wider audience, increase trading liquidity and expand access to a large new pool of institutional investors."

VIVO has also successfully shipped cannabis 2.0 products from its Canna Farms facility to the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with purchase orders to Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia expected to ship imminently.
VIVO also expects to make initial shipments of its Fireside™ chocolate products, which were created with the founders of award-winning Belgian chocolatier, ChocolaTas, to the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, and its Fireside™ concentrates and vape products from its Vanluven facility to the provinces of Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia and New Brunswick, before the end of Q1 2020.

"We expect that by the end of Q1 2020, our cannabis 2.0 products will be available for sale in seven provinces, which is a significant achievement considering the recent opening of the market," Mr. Fishman continued. "We are proud of our suite of 2.0 products and look forward to our customers having the opportunity to experience them for themselves."

PharmaCielo Ltd. (TSXV: PCLO) (OTCQX: PCLOF), the Canadian parent of Colombia's premier cultivator and producer of medicinal-grade cannabis extracts, PharmaCielo Colombia Holdings S.A.S., announced that it has signed a three-year pan-European distribution agreement, in which the Company's high-grade CBD isolate and broad-spectrum CBD oil will be sold to wholesalers and medicinal CPG product manufacturers through GMP certified lab owner, CBD Export Global.

The Agreement with the Quebec, Canada-based CBD Export Global expands PharmaCielo's distribution network in Europe with shipments into the EU to commence in 2020 with increased volumes during the duration of the agreement as B2B markets are expanded.  A minimum target volume of 2,000 kg has been agreed to in the first year of the three-year performance-based Agreement, allowing for confirmation of individual market regulatory approvals and enabling increased sales volume expansion in subsequent years.

"The agreement with CBD Export Global is part of PharmaCielo's second-phase growth strategy complementing the first phase in which we established one of the largest cultivation and extraction operations in Colombia and initiated global sales, and now in the second phase expanding the distribution network as production volumes increase on a daily basis to take our high-quality medicinal CBD extracts to global markets," says David Attard, Chief Executive Officer of PharmaCielo. "In 2019 we saw global demand for quality medicinal extracts increasing on an ongoing basis. In 2020 we are further expanding our distribution and sales channels. The collaboration with CBD Export Global will play a key role in our continued growth."

The distribution agreement with CBD Export Global is entered into with the intent of continued market expansion beyond 2019's experience successfully completing commercial shipments of CBD isolate from PharmaCielo to the U.S. and Switzerland.

Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHAannounced that it has entered into an agreement to accept a strategic investment from an institutional investor, pursuant to which the Significant Investor has agreed to purchase 14,044,944 units of the Company at a price of C$7.12 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of C$100,000,001.

Each unit is comprised of one common share of Aphria and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Aphria. Each warrant will entitle the Significant Investor to acquire one common share at a price of $9.26 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to finance international expansion, working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Offering is expected to close on or about January 31, 2020 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.

"Given the strength of our leadership team, the continued execution of our strategic plan and the robust opportunities we have for growth in the global cannabis industry, we were able to secure this additional capital from a single investor, a significant endorsement of Aphria in these market conditions," commented Carl Merton, Chief Financial Officer. "We expect this strategic investment to strengthen our balance sheet and propel Aphria forward as we continue to differentiate ourselves in the industry."

Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with bi-coastal processing centers, has announced that it will be opening The King of Hemp Store™, its flagship, brick-and-mortar retail store at 330 East Beale Street in Kingman, Arizona.

The soft launch of The King of Hemp Store™ will take place on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2020, with a Grand Opening to follow. The 5,000 square foot retail space will be utilized for the store within a former Wells Fargo building in the entertainment district of Kingman or “Old Town Kingman”. The store will carry hemp and cannabidiol (CBD) topicals such as lotions, creams, shampoo, conditioner, luxury gifts and items such as gemstone encrusted hemp candles, high-quality hemp CBD pre-rolls, as well as industrial hemp products like hemp string and hemp denim jeans.

“We are proud to offer a wide range of hemp products that reflect the commitment Hemp, Inc. has to furthering the hemp revolution that is sweeping the nation,” said Dwight Jory, who has worked with Hemp, Inc. in various capacities, including as Project Manager for the Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc. “This store will provide education about hemp and also spark new local employment opportunities.”

Mike Simmons, a well-known community member who has ran multiple successful businesses in the downtown area is assisting with the store opening and operations. “The King of Hemp Store will add to the vibrancy of the downtown entertainment district and we look forward to participating in the ongoing annual festivals that celebrate the environment and the arts,” Simmons said. “We are also planning our own community outreach programs to further educate the community and visitors about hemp.”

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast Investorideas interviews Matei Olaru, President and CEO of Lift and Co (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQB: LFCOF) at the Lift and Co Expo Vancouver 2020, which took place January 9th to 11th in \Vancouver BC.

Lift & Co. Cannabis Expo Vancouver 2020 had a strong focus on Cannabis 2.0—edibles, topicals, concentrates—that have just started to appear in stores. According to a recent report by Lift & Co. and EY Canada, 70% of consumers did not know what they were going to purchase before entering a cannabis store, highlighting an ongoing need for brand and product education and awareness.

“The Lift & Co. Expo has become a launchpad for Canadian brands and new products, and the mainstage for our industry’s top thought leaders,” said Matei Olaru, CEO of Lift & Co. “This year’s focus on consumer intelligence, and our joint keynote with EY Canada and Nielsen in particular, speak to the evolution of our show and the maturation of the industry.”
This event comes on the heels of the launch of Lift & Co.’s consumer insights platform Cohesion in 2019, and recently announced strategic partnership with Nielsen to create an industry-first consumer segmentation tool for early 2020.

Additional talk highlights included:
      The Power and Potential of Psychedelics: Leading researchers and entrepreneurs provide insights into this uncharted industry
      Lessons from California: Building a Brand and an Industry: California-based cannabis leaders will share their insights and some lessons Canada can take away
      Trust after CannTrust: Rebuilding Confidence in the Industry: three presentations each touch on how brands can reframe the conversation to establish and maintain customer confidence

The Expo featured over 280 exhibitors and two full days of talks on the Fire & Flower Stage. Together, LCBC and Expo are Canada’s largest cannabis consumer and industry convention, with last year’s Vancouver event drawing in more than 18,000 visitors.

“We’re so excited to welcome CPG insights heavyweights like Nielsen, Ipsos, and EY Canada to elevate the cannabis conversation this year,” said Matei Olaru, CEO of Lift & Co. “Their presence signals an important shift for cannabis in year two, and will set the tone for a three-day event that will offer attendees the earliest view into cannabis in 2020. Lift & Co. has always strived to drive important topics forward at our events, and we’re looking forward to what is shaping up to be our most important Vancouver conference to date.”

Matei went on to discuss this year's event, the current data trends being addressed in the market and his expectations and forecasts for 2020.

Watch the video of Penny White, President and CEO of Yield Growth Corp. (CSE: BOSS) (OTCQB: BOSQF) (FSE: YG3) at the Lift and Co Expo 2020 in Vancouver



Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

In today’s podcast Investorideas interviews Penny White, President and CEO of Yield Growth Corp. (CSE: BOSS) (OTCQB: BOSQF) (FSE: YG3)at the Lift and Co Expo 2020 in Vancouver where we discussed the company’s most recent product developments in the US, Canada and EU, the company’s prospects for 2020 as well as the Expo itself.

The Yield Growth Corp. develops cannabis and edible mushroom products and is currently conducting research into uses, methods and products that improve life in what the Global Wellness Institute reports is a $4.2 trillion-dollar global wellness market. It owns the cannabis wellness brands Urban Juve, Wright & Well and Jack n Jane. The Yield Growth management team has deep experience with global brands including Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, M·A·C Cosmetics, Skechers and Aritzia. It’s all natural hemp skincare brand, Urban Juve, has signed agreements for distribution in Canada, Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina, El Salvador, Ecuador, Peru, Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia. Yield Growth’s Wright & Well brands are launching a THC/CBD line of topical and edible products in Oregon this month and a CBD from hemp topicals line in California in 2020. Through its subsidiaries, Yield Growth has over 200 proprietary beauty, wellness, edibles and beverage formulas for commercialization. It has filed 13 patents to protect its extraction method and other intellectual property. Yield Growth earns revenue through multiple streams including licensing, services and product sales.

Penny discussed how she and the company entered into the cannabis space saying, “Our principal business is cannabis topicals, but we got into the business about a year ago launching our first set of products before topicals were legal. We launched our first line called Urban Juve, which is essentially skincare and beauty products which contain a lot of great parts of the plant but not the cannabinoids which would make them restricted. So, Urban Juve is distributed around the world right now.” 

When asked about their newest brand, Wright & Well, White elaborated, “It’s been a long road to get these products legal and launched in Oregon. We first applied in Oregon about a year ago, so it’s taken us almost a year to get through all the regulatory hurdles to get to market. Our Wright & Well products are designed for the therapeutic benefits of cannabis and they’re not intended at all for the recreational market, although technically they’re available for recreational users. The first line of products that we’re launching are a pain bomb, a therapeutic gel, a massage oil, as well as several tinctures. We are really appealing to people who are looking to use cannabis to relieve pain and anxiety, so that’s where the name Wright & Well comes in. Our products contain completely natural ingredients and the key ingredient is our hemp root oil which is created in Vancouver with our proprietary extraction technique. The root of the cannabis plant is typically exempt in pretty much all jurisdictions and isn’t considered “cannabis” as other parts of the plant are regulated. So we are able to put our hemp root oil in all of our products without regulation and when you mix the hemp root oil with THC and CBD there’s some great effects. The studies that we’ve done on our root oil has shown high concentrations of therapeutic compounds which early studies suggest help your body receive other cannabinoids so much more effectively. So when you combine the hemp root oil with either CBD or THC, you have a very potent product.”

White then went on to discuss the benefits of operating in Oregon when it comes to brand building saying, “We chose Oregon for a reason. Oregon has actually very good regulations for topicals and is a well developed state. It’s also a great place to launch because the packaging regulations are a little bit more lax so we were able to put something together that you would see on the shelves of Sephora or Shoppers Drug Mart or anywhere in the US in regular retail. So although there’s a warning on the box, it still conveys the meaning of a brand. The packaging definitely gives you a sense of the brand.”

The company is also launching a CBD line of products which White explained has its own benefits. “What we’re going to do to access those millions of people who don’t necessarily want to go to a cannabis dispensary, we are coming out with a CBD line of Wright & Well. We are already in the late stages of planning our production and are just in the final stages of making sure our packaging meets FDA standards.”

When asked why she chose topicals for the cannabis sector White explained, “When I went down to the States and started interviewing the chain owners in Washington, they kept asking “Do you have any sunscreen? Do you have any topicals?” and I realized there was a huge demand and there really weren’t many companies producing high quality topicals. My goal was to get these, what I understood to be, very effective potential treatments to as many people as possible and I didn’t see a lot of competition and still don’t to this day. We saw a huge market opportunity, and I just couldn’t imagine how an LP could have the manpower to put together a good topicals line. For any topicals company to be successful you have to be in more than one jurisdiction, otherwise you're’ never going to establish a worldwide brand.”

Urban Juve’s Hydrating Body Oil recently appeared in December’s issue of Vanity Fair UK, which features RuPaul on the cover, photographed by Annie Leibovitz.

The magazine highlighted Urban Juve’s Ayurveda-inspired Hydrating Body Oil in “The Vanity Box,” along with a range of other handpicked luxury beauty products, selected for the publication’s sophisticated and highly affluent readers.

The Canadian-made Hydrating Body Oil is one of Urban Juve’s most popular products. Powered by hemp seed oil, avocado oil and ginger oil, Hydrating Body Oil helps revive the skin, while cinnamon and cardamom invigorate the senses.

Urban Juve has been featured several times in Vanity Fair UK and other high-quality beauty and lifestyle publications, such as British Vogue and Elle Canada.

“We are expecting our products to be widely distributed throughout Europe and South America in 2020,” said Penny White. “In Europe alone the skin care market is expected to grow at 3.9% CAGR between 2016 and 2022, according to KVB Research, so we are positioning Urban Juve, along with our other brands, to capitalize on the opportunity.”

Mrs. White also went on to discuss the company’s recent entrance and focus on Psycolcibon research and into edible mushrooms.
