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 public and private company announcements.
View Systems, Inc.’s (OTC: VSYM) Sannabis S.A.S. announced that they will meet today with students and faculty from the University of Cauca to implement their internship program established through a Collaboration Agreement # 25-32.8-010 with Sannabis’ Taller Libre Community Association. University of Cauca was founded in 1827 as the University of Popayan and later changed name to Universidad del Cauca in 1884.
This agreement with the University allows Sannabis to approach major food and medical corporations that want to enter the cannabis space but are limited by research.
The Internship Program will cover the following areas:
- Research projects on the medicinal properties of Sannabis products, application of the products, protocols for product certification, dosing protocol for diseases, and research that derives from the projects of companies that support this initiative. (Health Sciences Faculty).
- Research projects on the benefits of cosmetic products. (Faculty of Engineering)
- Research projects of social impacts, in the development of community proposals, derived from the process of cultivation, transformation, commercialization and application of products.
- Research, production and development projects in the process of , psychoactive (THC) and non-psychoactive (CBD) cultivation, cultivation for flower, seed, stems, and comprehensive use of cannabis (Faculty of Agricultural Sciences).
- Cannabis regulation. (Faculty of Law, political and social sciences)
Sannabis previously announced a site visit of their Seed Propagation Facility near
Popayan-CAUCA by the Colombian Institute of Agriculture (ICA) on July 30, 2020 at 9am. ICA will inspect, make recommendations, and give the Company 60 days to comply, after which the approval process begins. Sannabis applied for this license prior to December 31, 2018, the deadline for new applications, after this date no more applications are being accepted. Arguably a Colombian Seed Use License could be the most sought after and valuable marijuana license anywhere in the World.
The University of Cauca will certify Sannabis products as well as the Sannabis Cultivars from their seed bank. Students will also study the dosification and efficacy of Sannabis products giving the Company a huge advantage over competitors.
“I don’t believe many Cannabis products on the shelves in the U.S. and elsewhere have been analyzed and certified by a 190-year-old University. Dosage has always been an issue with consumers since it’s anecdotal and until now wasn’t backed by research, right now it’s trial and error to find the dosage that works for you,” stated John Campo, President of View Systems, Inc. and Sannabis co-founder.
“We’re proud to be working with the University in my hometown,” stated Juan Paulo Guzman, co-founder and Director of Sannabis. “Several other much bigger companies were after this relationship and we’re happy the University recognized our 23 years working with the community making quality products and promoting a new livelihood,” continued Mr. Guzman.
Students will work with Sannabis’ ongoing projects focusing on Medical and Social Components of Sannabis products and other initiatives that involve the integral use of cannabis, taking into account the aforementioned and being aware of the importance of each of the academic disciplines in all processes.
Sannabis has been working in Cauca, Colombia’s top marijuana growing region for over 23 years, educating Indigenous tribes and locals on the health benefits of the legitimate use of marijuana. Cauca is home to landrace strains made famous by a documentary chronicling a futile attempt by a European seed bank to take these strains out of Colombia.

NuggMD, the nation's leading medical marijuana telemedicine platform, announced that it is now providing telemedicine services to patients in Ohio for $139.
Ohio normally prohibits the use of telemedicine for medical marijuana evaluations, but has lifted this restriction for the duration of the pandemic emergency orders. This makes it possible for patients to get their MMJ recommendation without risking exposure to Sars-COV-2.
"We're so excited to join Ohio's medical marijuana community," says Alex Milligan, NuggMD Co-Founder and CMO. "We hope that Ohio will see the benefit of allowing medical marijuana telemedicine services to continue for the long term. Even after the pandemic is over, and we don't know how long this will take, telemedicine is an incredibly valuable tool for at-risk patients."
"COVID-19 is forcing the medical community to re-consider their long-standing prejudices against telemedicine," says Kam Babazade, NuggMD Co-Founder and COO. "The misperception that patients can't receive the same quality of care and follow up via telemedicine has forced immunocompromised patients to risk exposure to illness in order to comply with local state laws. After the pandemic is over, these patients will face the same unnecessary risks to their health. We hope the state will consider making this change to their policy permanent for the well-being of at-risk cannabis patients across the state."
The state has not yet determined when the emergency orders for COVID-19 will be lifted. Recently, several states have seen a resurgence of the virus and have taken measures to increase social distancing again.
At the time this press release was written, Ohio had 46,970 confirmed cases of COVID-19, 7,681 hospitalizations and 2,807 total deaths. This total reflects a spike in confirmed cases over the final weekend of June. Those at the highest risk of contracting the virus are advised by authorities to remain at home as much as possible.
An Ohio medical marijuana evaluation with NuggMD costs just $139. As always, patients who are not approved for a medical marijuana recommendation receive their evaluation for free.
Since 2016, NuggMD has helped more than 600,000 patients connect face-to-face with their MMJ doctors via video telemedicine in California, New York, Nevada, Oklahoma and Missouri. NuggMD's practitioners provide medical marijuana recommendations to patients only in states for which they are fully-licensed to practice medicine. They are also approved to provide recommendations by their respective regulatory agencies where necessary.
Tidal Health Solutions Ltd., a privately held Licensed Producer (LP) and one of Canada's leading suppliers of Cannabis 2.0 products, announced that it is now supplying topical cannabis products in Canada.
"Our topical products are the result of extensive research and development and are leading the category in Canada", said Mark E. Burton, President and CEO of Tidal Health Solutions. "We are one of the few Licensed Producers providing these products".
Tidal's RIVA brand focuses on the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) while the TULLIA brand features equal amounts of CBD and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Both come in 200mg and 400mg cannabinoids per jar formats. They are both fast absorbing lotions with a natural eucalyptus extract that provide a pleasant cooling sensation similar to a cool ocean breeze.
"In my clinical experience, well-developed topicals may be useful for conditions close to the skin's surface such as arthritis and neuropathic pain", said Dr. Douglas Smith, a founder of Tidal Health Solutions and a national expert in the medical use of cannabis. "They are very pleasant and easy to use".
The products are now available in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and will soon be available in Prince Edward Island and Alberta.
