$SNNVF Increase to Previously Announced Bought Deal Public Offering

VANCOUVER, Sept. 19, 2018 – Sunniva Inc. (“Sunniva” or the “Company“), (CSE:SNN) (OTCQX:SNNVF) is pleased to announce that it has amended the terms of its previously announced bought deal offering of units (the “Units“) of the Company (the “Offering“). Under the amended terms of the Offering, a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters“) co-led by Beacon Securities Limited (“Beacon“) and Canaccord Genuity Corp. have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 3,800,000 Units at a price of $5.27 per Unit (the “Offering Price“) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $20,026,000.  (All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated).

Each Unit shall consist of one common share (a “Common Share“) in the capital of the Company and one-half (1/2) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant“) of the Company. Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price per Common Share of $6.85 for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date (as defined below).

The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about October 10, 2018 (the “Closing Date“) and is subject to the completion of formal documentation and receipt of regulatory approval, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Company has granted the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option“), exercisable, in whole or in part, by Beacon, on behalf of the Underwriters, giving notice to the Company at any time and from time to time up to 30 days following the Closing Date, to purchase, or to find substituted purchasers for, up to an additional number of Units equal to 15% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering at the Offering Price to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.

The Units to be issued under the Offering will be offered by way of a short form prospectus to be filed in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario (and such other provinces as agreed between the Company and the Underwriters) and may be offered in the United States to Qualified Institutional Buyers pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements under rule 144A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“), in a manner that does not require the Units to be registered in the United States.

$PFSF 420 with CNW – Cannabis and Crypto

Cannabis firms have fought regulations and misconceptions for quite a long time as they have made attempts to inform the public on the medical benefits of the plant. In the recent couple of years, cannabis companies have started recording a surge in interest, as evidenced by their monthly record sales. Investors in Wall Street project that the industry will attain a valuation of $75 billion by the end of 2030.

Almost coincidentally, cryptos have also been enjoying a surge in popularity, with values of top cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and Ethereum hitting record levels. Toward the end of 2017, the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency industry hit $600 billion.

Apart from the growth prospects of the two industries, both experience legal uncertainty, high-risk environments and tighter government regulations. This makes cannabis and cryptos perfect partners.

How Blockchain is Facilitating Cannabis Trade

The blockchain technology that is the backbone of crypto transactions can help the cannabis industry to secure its exchange transactions. The cannabis trade has been criticized for channeling funds into the black market. With the blockchain, these worries can be put to rest and loopholes for fraud and funds leakages into the underworld sealed.

When this happens, both the crypto and cannabis industries can legitimize their activities in today’s dynamic modern economy. For instance, in the United States, only Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Colorado, Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts have legalized marijuana for both recreation and medical use. The rest of the states have legalized the drug only for medical use.

Using cryptocurrency to facilitate transactions in the cannabis market is hugely important. This is because it widens the playing field and promotes inclusion to other groups all around the globe that previously were secluded from the trade. Since cannabis is still a Schedule I drug together with methamphetamine and heroin, players in this industry are barred from using bank accounts.

Any attempts by the banking system to facilitate cannabis payments could lead to dire legal consequences, including charges for money laundering. The exclusion of the banking system also renders the use of credit and debit cards impossible. Operations for cannabis businesses in the U.S. are cash-based.

Legitimizing the Cannabis Industry through Crypto

Cryptocurrency companies have come up to support trading activities and other development initiatives within the cannabis industry. One of the companies offering blockchain technology solutions customized for the cannabis industry is Pacific Software Inc. (OTC: PFSF). The company seeks to improve the compliance, transparency and efficiency of cannabis supply in states where it has been legalized.

Cannabis companies and traders who want to use the company’s Hyperledger blockchain applications are required to pay transaction fees, cash, loyalties and other forms of payment depending on the nature of the transactions.

GreenBox POS, LLC (OTC: GRBX) has also built customized payment solutions for different industries, including cannabis. The point of sale system is fully integrated, easy to use and intuitive.

By connecting buyers and sellers, crypto firms are creating a legitimate, centralized online meeting place where cannabis enthusiasts can share information and engage with one another. Usually, participants are rewarded with crypto coins that can be exchanged for goods and services or converted to fiat currency.

Any effort to boost accountability and transparency in the logistics and supply chain of cannabis is therefore welcome. The adoption of blockchain technology is yielding positive effects by fighting the social stigma around the sale and use of marijuana. As this positive ecosystem expands, buyers and sellers will feel safe, just like any other participants in a market platform.

$NUGL Allowing Searches for Cannabis Brands by Name

  • Clients can search for preferred cannabis brands and find where to buy them
  • NUGL’s platform’s new brand search filter is unique to industry
  • Legal cannabis industry currently worth $9 billion, expected to reach $47.3 billion by 2027

The marijuana industry is maturing at a rapid pace, and an increasingly wide range of consumers are using cannabis in a growing variety of ways. As more and more products and services become available, technology company NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) has created a platform to allow consumers to more easily locate suppliers. The company announced recently that it has made it even easier for customers to tailor their searches for the exact products they require (http://nnw.fm/eWYn5).

In addition to recreational users, some customers are discovering the health benefits of various cannabis-based brands, including medical products, functional beverages and food supplements. Many more dispensing and delivery options are available.

NUGL has added a brand search filter to its marijuana industry directory service, which will allow customers to find out who sells their preferred brands. Added to the existing geographical location functionality, this will let customers see exactly where they have to go to get their products.

NUGL believes that this functionality puts its platform ahead of other operators who are attempting to provide cannabis industry directory services.

“We have an edge over the competition. Everyone is fighting over the dispensaries and charging large sums of money for a simple listing,” Ryan Bartlette, CMO of NUGL, stated in a news release. “We have a much broader client base by expanding profiles far beyond dispensaries to include brands and services. The industry is growing and relatively untapped, so we will market to all of it.”

NUGL CTO Jeff Odle added that this was one of the core competencies of why NUGL was built and that the brand search is a truly unique feature and the only one of its type in this fast-growing market. The legal cannabis industry made an estimated $9 billion in sales last year. This is expected to explode to $47.3 billion by 2027 (http://nnw.fm/5OSmq).

NUGL’s directory services app, available for mobile and online platforms, allows consumers to locate and connect with providers of goods and services. Additionally, the platform lets businesses proactively create profiles and raise their visibility toward potential clients. Since the platform is dedicated to the marijuana industry, clients are able to market to their target consumers. The platform also allows business to business connections, making it easier for companies to find relevant ancillary services.

In addition to making it easier for customers to find relevant products and services, NUGL allows consumers to leave unbiased reviews, meaning that the information available is more accurate and useful.

NUGL has a global reach, allowing consumers and businesses from all over the world to benefit from its services. The company’s stated aim is to build the world’s most user-friendly cannabis industry app, and, to that end, it actively encourages users to send comments and suggestions of what functionality they would like to have included.

$PFSF Agri-blockchain Solution Tracks Products from Farm to Table

  • Company’s blockchain-based solution is able to track agricultural products from farm to table, providing an accurate, tamper-proof record
  • Company has a working relationship with IBM, as well as the government in the Brazilian state of Rondônia and some of the largest e-commerce companies in China

Pacific Software, Inc. (OTC: PFSF), an emerging development technology corporation and master licensor of Hyperledger blockchain-based systems, was recently featured in an interview by NewEconomies.com (http://nnw.fm/OwKJ8). Pacific Software President Peter Pizzino sat down with New Economies hosts Lucce Cervigni and Alice Hlidkova in the Nasdaq Times Square studio to talk about Pacific Software and the company’s recent developments and achievements.

Pizzino commenced the interview by talking about Pacific Software and the company’s business model, describing Pacific Software as a development technology company investing in blockchain applications. The company’s first application, currently being rolled out, integrates blockchain and e-commerce within the agriculture space. This “agri-blockchain” technology will make it possible to track the provenance of food products, creating an accurate record from origin to point of sale and thereby addressing current problems relating to food exports, such as lack of transparency, product integrity issues, recordkeeping inefficiencies and more.

Pacific Software has developed a working relationship with the local government in the Brazilian state of Rondônia, one of Brazil’s largest agricultural regions, to assist in enhancing the exportation of agricultural products to China.

The company’s farm-to-table blockchain solution is a game-changer, completely transforming the verification and certification process for exported agricultural goods. With news about zombie meat scares and food product recalls dominating headlines around the world, the ability to accurately track the entire journey of a product, from origin to final destination, and to eliminate fraud, human error and other issues, will have a widespread impact for producers, exporters, importers and consumers alike.

Pacific Software’s solution will not only give importers and consumers much-needed reassurance regarding the origins, safety and quality of food products; it could further save companies significant time and resources in the event that a product becomes subject to a recall. Providing an error-free, tamper-proof record covering the entire supply chain, this blockchain-based solution can pinpoint the precise origin of contamination, for instance, and thereby enable a narrow, focused and efficient recall of affected products.

The first aspect of Pacific Software’s business model is the implementation of its blockchain applications, and the second is commerce. The company’s commerce-related endeavors are primarily geared to the Chinese market, and Pacific Software is developing relationships with the largest e-commerce companies in China through the help of its partners in that country, with the ultimate aim of building a trade bridge into China through its blockchain/e-commerce portal.

Pacific Software’s next step is to implement its application for customers.

$PBIO Announces Commercial Release of the HUB880 Explorer

Ultra High-Pressure Instrument Expected toEnhance the Science and Commercial Applications of High Pressure Processing Studies for FoodQuality and Safety; Results Expected to Guide Development ofthe Company’s Ultra Shear Technology Platform

SOUTH EASTON, MA / September 13, 2018 / PressureBioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) (“PBI” or the “Company”), a leader in thedevelopment and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables,and platform technology solutions to the worldwide life sciences industry,today announced the sale of the first two instruments from its newest line ofhigh-pressure based instrument systems, the HUB880 Explorer.

Dr. Nate Lawrence, PBI’s Vice President of Marketingand Sales, said: “We are delighted that the first customer for our new HUB880Explorer system is one of Japan’s leading research institutes conductingresearch and development on agriculture and food. The institute’s goal is toincrease the productivity and safety of agriculture and food, while reducingproduction costs. We expect the institute to use the HUB880 Explorer to studythe effects of high pressure on food processing and on a number of foodbornepathogens.”

Dr. Lawrence continued: “We are equally pleased thatthe second system was recently purchased by the Public Health MicrobiologyLaboratory (“PHM Laboratory”) at Tennessee State University (“TSU”). The PHM Laboratory’sgoal is to conduct research to better understand environmental and entericpathogens and spoilage organisms. The PHM Laboratory is studying the effects ofhigh-pressure processing (“HPP”) on several of the more prevalent foodbornepathogens, including E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella.”

According to information on the PHM Laboratorywebsite, foodborne diseases cost an estimated 420,000 lives every year aroundthe globe and are collectively responsible for the loss of over 33 millionyears of healthy living annually. Additionally, one out of six Americansexperiences illnesses from these pathogens every year, leading to about 128,000hospitalizations and over 3,000 deaths annually.

Dr. Aliyar Fouladkhah is an Assistant Professor at TSUand Director of the PHM Laboratory. He and his team have used PBI’spressure-based instruments for several years, during which time they havegenerated multiple publications related to foodborne pathogens, food qualityand safety. Dr. Fouladkhah said: “I am really proud to know that, according toa report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the progress foodscientists have made in the development of safer and healthier foods has beenone of the top 10 public health achievements of the 20th century. Itis unequivocally clear to me that the food science community will requireextensive innovative solutions and cutting-edge technologies for years to come.High-pressure processing is one such technology. Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”)may be another.”

Dr. Lawrence added: “Our collaboration with Dr.Fouladkhah and the PHML team has been very fruitful. Their publications usingPBI’s pressure-based systems have been impactful and well received, especiallyin the foodborne disease area. With its ability to reach higher pressure levelsand accept larger sample sizes, we believe the new HUB880 Explorer will enable scientistsat public health, food science, microbiology, agriculture, and other suchresearch laboratories, as well as scientists involved in food processingtechnologies like HPP, to study the mechanisms by which pressure inactivates foodpathogens and spoilage organisms, which should lead to improvements in the HPParea, and to safer food. Because of this, we believe the HUB880 Explorer hasthe potential to add significantly to our revenue base in the foreseeable future.”

 

Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, said:”PBI is expanding its efforts and commitment into two very different butrelated areas of the very large food equipment industry: (i) laboratory-scale,high-pressure based research instruments (e.g., the HUB880 Explorer) to helpscientists better understand the mechanisms by which high pressure caninactivate foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms, which in turn shouldimprove the processing of food, resulting in safer and higher quality food forconsumers worldwide, and (ii) Ultra Shear Technology, a scalable foodprocessing method that can address the limitations of using HPP for food, suchas batch mode processing only, high cost, poor results on low acid foods, and arequirement for post-processed food to be refrigerated. This entry into the food equipment market ishighly complementary to our existing presence in the life sciences toolsindustry, as it provides exciting new opportunities for growth by using thetechnical, scientific, and operational expertise we acquired while working onour cutting-edge biological sample preparation equipment.”

 

Mr. Schumacher concluded: “We recently released newson our patented Ultra Shear Technology platform, which combines high pressurewith intense shear forces, while minimizing exposure to damaging elevatedtemperatures. We also announced the award of close to $1 million dollars fromthe USDA to Ohio State University to fund the development of the UST platform,of which we will receive $318,000 for the design, development, and manufactureof the initial prototypes of the bench-top and floor model UST instruments. We believeUST can be used to process healthy, nutritious, great tasting beverages andliquid foods, with extended shelf-lives but no chemical additives. We alsobelieve that UST can play a significant role in other very large marketsegments, such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, paints, andindustrial lubricants.”

$NUGL Building Deep and Wide to Support Cannabis Consumer/Company Search Engine Needs

  • Despite ongoing federal disdain for cannabis market, state-by-state efforts driving $9.2 billion industry with $47.3 billion outlook
  • NUGL’s new search platform exceeded company’s expectations during first month since launch, gaining followers on social media daily and hundreds of company profiles
  • NUGL’s search engine drives beyond location, allows brand and service searches without granting any favored status

Despite the U.S. federal government’s reluctance to legalize cannabis over the past several years or even encourage its use in scientific research, the medical marijuana industry has grown state-by-state and in other countries, along with a burgeoning acceptance of recreational marijuana use to such a point that consumers have become acquainted enough with cannabis to develop preferences for specialty strains and outlets. That consumer development parallels growing diversification within the cannabis industry, as companies step forward to fill a variety of service and product needs, and that, in turn, has created a niche for an enterprising cannabis industry search engine company named NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL).

NUGL bills itself as the world’s first cannabis search app built for the people, by the people. Its search platform is an efficient Firebase-built web app that its visionary team designed to link users not only to select dispensaries, but to the ever-growing network of ancillary services and branded products, including types of flowers, edibles, vapes and concentrates, which can be searched for wherever they may be located for purchase without biased results.

“This is one of the core competencies of why we built NUGL. The brand search is truly unique, and we feel it is the best and only one of its type in the industry,” Chief Technology Officer Jeff Odle stated in a news release announcing NUGL’s expansion into the cannabis market (http://nnw.fm/BYa7B).

“We have an edge over the competition. Everyone is fighting over the dispensaries and charging large sums of money for a simple listing. We have a much broader client base by expanding profiles far beyond dispensaries to include brands and services. The industry is growing and relatively untapped, so we will market to all of it,” Chief Marketing Officer Ryan Bartlette added.

NUGL was able to develop its web app quickly and design it to talk to Apple and Android app stores, giving it a running start at recognition in the B2B and B2P arenas. The company’s online user base and number of listings has grown at a pace surpassing expectations during the first month since its launch, drawing on a variety of marketing methods ranging from direct contacts to social media proselytization (http://nnw.fm/tiSD0).

“We are determined to grow the user base while expanding the company’s listings and profiles at the same time. It is a chicken before the egg scenario,” Bartlette stated. “NUGL is reaching thousands of users, hundreds of claimed profiles and is growing on both fronts daily. The NUGL Instagram has reached approximately 10,000 followers in one month and seems to have no end in sight.”

Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics estimate that legal cannabis sales reached $9.2 billion in the United States last year, and the market is expected to explode to $47.3 billion by 2027 (http://nnw.fm/aEfx6). As the reach of NUGL’s app grows, the company gains a heightened sense of what cannabis consumers need and how to help them meet those needs. The company has added advanced filtering that allows users to search for the distinct features of greatest interest to them, and NUGL plans to launch its biggest feature yet in the coming weeks — an integrated menu with sharing capabilities.

The company serves international markets with no geographical limitations and provides a variety of revenue streams to help businesses build their profits.

$YGYI Eyes Rapid Expansion as it Scales Up in Coffee and Cannabis

  • Enters $7.7 billion cannabis market with HempFX™ brand
  • Signs $250 million contract to supply 41 million pounds of green coffee annually
  • International expansion underway; direct marketers derive 50-75 percent of revenues from outside the U.S.

With ventures in coffee and cannabis, Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) is set for a scalability that is already impacting its financial performance. Over the past six years, the company has enjoyed a CAGR of over 40 percent, with revenues rising from $22 million in 2011 to $166 million in 2017. Now, that growth trend has been strengthened; with the launch of its HempFX™ brand, Youngevity is entering the $7.7 billion cannabis market. The new product line will complement the extensive range of lifestyle products already marketed through the company’s direct selling division. Together, the company’s field-to-cup coffee operations and direct selling activities provide Youngevity with a viable platform to boost business to a global scale. Now it’s clear why its executives were ringing the opening bell at the Nasdaq Market Site in Times Square on January 3, 2018.

In a recent interview, Youngevity chairman and CEO Steve Wallach, and President and CFO Dave Briskie, discussed the company’s recent performance and talked about its future plans (http://nnw.fm/mv72A). The company has spent the last three-and-a-half years building a global infrastructural platform to scale up its direct selling operations. Many large ($500 million or more in revenues) direct marketing companies derive 50-75 percent of their revenues from outside of the U.S. Statistics compiled by Direct Selling News indicate why.

In North America, the top three categories of direct sales – wellness, cosmetics & personal care, and household goods & durables – together make up a $37.8 billion business, a figure that, though large, is dwarfed by foreign markets. In South and Central America, the top three categories, albeit different from the North American top three, bring in $25.2 billion; in Western Europe, they are worth $29.5 billion; and in Asia, a monstrous $84.1 billion of goods are traded in the top three categories. Consequently, establishing an appropriate international infrastructural framework is an essential requirement to global success.

The product line-up is to be fortified with the introduction of the new HempFX products, which were launched in August at the company’s 21st Convention in San Diego, California (http://nnw.fm/OIB3p). Soothe™ contains a proprietary hemp-derived cannabinoid oil, as well as a variety of herbs and minerals, and a powerful antioxidant – glutathione. It supports a healthy immune system and soothes sore, tired, achy muscles and joints. Relax™ features the same hemp-derived cannabinoid oil found in Soothe, combined with the relaxing botanicals chamomile, lavender, valerian and melatonin – for sleep-supporting benefits. Uplift™ takes Youngevity’s exclusive hemp-derived cannabinoid oil and combines it with St. John’s Wort and a specialized set of natural terpenes, which are cannabinoid enhancers.

The potential for these products is enormous, as the cannabidiol market is poised for significant growth in the immediate future. A recent report in Forbes citing data from the Brightfield Group estimates that the global cannabis market will reach $31.4 billion by 2021. At the end of 2017, it was pegged at $7.7 billion.

Youngevity kicked off 2018 in grand fashion by ringing the Nasdaq opening bell to celebrate ‘Fit Week’, a most appropriate choice, since the company’s mission (http://nnw.fm/BB1Jp) is “to help consumers understand the key components needed to reach and maintain optimal wellness and to provide tools and product resources that aid significantly in the process.”

It is likely to end the year in the same celebratory mood. Its wholly owned subsidiary, CLR Roasters (http://nnw.fm/H22kj), has entered into a five-year contract for the sale and processing of over 41 million pounds of green (unroasted) coffee on an annual basis (http://nnw.fm/T4hg2). Based on current coffee prices and coffee futures, this contract should generate revenues in excess of $50 million dollars per year for each year of the five-year contract. The purchaser of the coffee is a major coffee importer and exporter that has, for over 70 years, been supplying some of the largest coffee brands in the industry. Revenue for this contract covers the period from 2019 through 2023, with first shipments to begin in January 2019.

$TGODF Launches its Premier Certified Organic Cannabis Brand

TORONTO, Sept. 12, 2018 – The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (the Company” or “TGOD”) (TSX:TGOD) (US:TGODF) is pleased to announce the launch of its premium, certified organic cannabis brand. This preeminent launch coincides with Canadian Organic Week, the largest annual celebration of organic food, farming and products across the country. This is a pivotal step for the Company in becoming the largest, organic cannabis brand in the world.

TGOD is proud to showcase its brand below.

Additional details of the launch will be provided in a subsequent press release.

TGOD cannabis adheres to the highest production standards for organic cultivation – the product is grown naturally in Canadian soil, without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. According to a 2018 Hill & Knowlton research study, 57% of Canadian medical cannabis consumers and 43% of recreational cannabis consumers prefer organic cannabis. Of 116 licensed producers in Canada, TGOD is one of only two that are certified organic.

The Green Organic Dutchman Launches its Premier Certified Organic Cannabis Brand (CNW Group/The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd.)

TGOD cannabis is never irradiated, resulting in rich and aromatic terpene profiles that are all natural. The Company’s cannabis oils are derived using a super-critical CO2 extraction process that uses no harmful solvents or additives.

As part of the launch, TGOD is selecting 200 beta patients to experience its product this coming January. Applicants will be selected from the Company’s Founder’s Club enrollment program located here.

“Organically certified cannabis is preferred by Canadian consumers, in both medical and recreational markets,” said Andrew Pollock, TGOD’s Vice President of Marketing. “Cannabis consumers value the safety, medical efficacy and natural terpene profiles that organic cannabis provides. Our mission is Making Life Better, and our organic cannabis products deliver on that promise. TGOD is an organic community that consumers will be proud to join,” continued Pollock.

In addition to producing a premium cannabis experience, TGOD will be the industry leader in sustainability and environmental standards. Production of organic nutrients requires less processing, and organic pest control has less environmental impact due to fewer chemicals entering the ecosystem. TGOD will operate the largest LEED-certified facility in the world and is building all facilities to GMP standards. LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, including energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emission reduction, and indoor environmental quality.

The Green Organic Dutchman Launches its Premier Certified Organic Cannabis Brand (CNW Group/The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd.)

“We are thrilled to launch our premium organic brand of TGOD products with a focus on providing the highest-quality cannabis experience in the world,” said Brian Athaide, TGOD’s CEO. “Our respect for the land is evident in every step of our production process, and we are committed to providing premium products for both our medical and future recreational customers,” continued Athaide.

“We are excited to see a company in a new industry that embraces the importance of organic cultivation and product offerings,” said Tia Loftsgard, executive director of the Canada Organic Trade Association (COTA). “When cannabis becomes legal, we are delighted that TGOD will be able to provide the option of cleanly grown, certified organic cannabis to the Canadian marketplace.”

$YGYI CBD Fueling Growth for Nutraceutical, Pharmaceutical and Cannabis Key Players

September 11, 2018

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Cannabis companies are seeing substantial growth, with the popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) playing a significant part in their positive outlook.

  • CBD is an active ingredient in cannabis.
  • It can provide health benefits without the psychotropic effects of other cannabis chemicals.
  • This has led to a growth in companies selling CBD treatments, sometimes alongside more conventional wellness products.

Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) (YGYI Profile) is one of these companies, having recently expanded its range of products to include CBD therapies for muscle pain, sleeplessness and mood improvement. GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) has created a CBD treatment for child-onset epilepsy and received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its sale as a medicinal product. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) has also developed a cannabis-derived epilepsy treatment, even as it makes deals to expand its distribution network in Canada. Aphria, Inc. (OTC: APHQF) (TSX: APH) has seen a steady rise in profits based on its cannabis work and is now working with branding specialists to capitalize on its opportunities. Isodiol International, Inc. (OTC: ISOLF) (CSE: ISOL) is providing not only a range of CBD products but also a platform for patients to connect with doctors to help manage cannabis-based medical treatment.

Cannabis Growth Continues

The past few years have seen substantial growth in the cannabis industry. As the plant’s legalization spreads, an increasingly diverse range of businesses have appeared to fill the needs of a growing wellness market. From hydroponic supply companies to seed providers, the industry is expanding at a rapid pace, and at its heart are the cannabis companies themselves, several of which have seen their stocks soar.

One of the reasons for recent growth is the development of a market in cannabidiol (CBD) drugs and wellness products. One of the active ingredients in cannabis, CBD is being used in a wide range of treatments to help with everything from epilepsy to mental alertness. A growing body of research and increasing range of uses have seen CBD oil become a significant part of the cannabis market, distinct from recreational marijuana. For companies invested in CBD, this trend is providing a fresh surge of growth.

The Power of Cannabidiol

A growing number of companies are producing and supplying CBD products — not just specialist firms, but other suppliers such as lifestyle company Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI). So what’s the fuss about?

CBD is one of the most prominent active ingredients in cannabis plants. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD does not cause users to get high, but it can have other effects on the body and mind. Those beneficial effects have led to CBD’s rising popularity for use in a variety of medicines and wellness products as researchers have learned more about it.

The distinction between CBD and THC is an important one. In some jurisdictions, industrial hemp, a type of cannabis plant that includes CBD but non-noteworthy amounts of THC, can be grown in circumstances where marijuana can’t. The legality of CBD products is different from that of cannabis cultivation itself in some places. Even in places where cannabis is legal for both medical and recreational uses, CBD is preferable to many health-conscious consumers who want its health effects without getting high.

It’s this potential that has drawn companies such as Youngevity to CBD. This market is expected to see tremendous growth based on forecasts for a range of uses beyond oils, such as CBD’s inclusion in food, drink, cosmetics and emerging health products. That’s a pretty impressive reason for companies to take an interest in CBD, whether they’re experienced cannabis insiders or newcomers such as Youngevity.

Wider Market Growth

Medical cannabis is now legal in more than half of North America. Legal recreational use has been enacted within nine states and the District of Columbia in the United States, and it will premiere nationwide in Canada in October. The cannabis plant’s ardent fan base is increasing public awareness and a growing acceptance of the potential benefits of products derived from it. Companies are moving to make the most of the opportunity as a previously frowned-on and illegal industry shifts into the mainstream.

This means that Youngevity’s cannabis-derived products will benefit from a wave of public awareness, publicity and market growth. The global value of this market was estimated at $7.7 billion in 2017, and it’s been predicted to reach $34.1 billion by 2021.

That growing market means that there’s now space for CBD products both on the shelves of high street stores and in the inventory of companies such as Youngevity.

Youngevity’s first entry into this market is the HempFX™ product line, introduced at the company’s 2018 convention in San Diego, Calif. A set of three distinct hemp-derived CBD oil products under the HempFX banner use organically grown products in proprietary formulas to help users through their day. The products include Soothe™, a blend of botanicals designed to relieve muscles by calming aches and pains; Uplift™, which combines CBD with St. John’s Wort to improve cognitive performance and mood; and Relax™, which combines CBD with a variety of herbs and melatonin to bring relaxation and a better night’s sleep.

This diverse range of uses shows why CBD is becoming so popular. By applying it to a variety of wellness issues, companies are able to market their products to a broad range of consumers, increasing sales and awareness.

Youngevity CEO Steve Wallach highlighted the strong potential link between CBD and broader trends in healthy living. “We firmly believe in plant-based nutrition, and hemp-derived (CBD) oil perfectly complements our product development philosophy. Entering this market, which is growing almost exponentially, also should offer a tremendous advantage to our many distributors around the world,” he stated in the company’s news release announcing the HempFX line.

The Power of Existing Pipelines

Wallach’s reference to distributors highlights why a company such as Youngevity is so well-positioned to benefit from the surge in CBD. New companies set up to cater to the CBD market have to build their sales pipelines from scratch, whereas established operators already have those pipelines in place. Youngevity’s massive network of direct sellers means that it has an immediate way of getting new products into the hands of consumers. Experience derived from 21 years of development has provided the company with the tools it needs to carve out its place in the market.

Being on-brand is important to such a move. Not just any company can jump into CBD and expect customers and distributors to come along with it. But according to Wallach, this isn’t a problem for Youngevity.

“Hemp-derived cannabidiol aligns with what we do very well,” he stated. “We’ve taken what we know about essential nutrients, along with decades of knowledge specializing in natural, plant-based nutrition and their most beneficial nutrients, and put that knowledge to work to develop high-end cannabidiol products.”

More Companies Take Up CBD

While CBD is often used in over-the-counter medicines and wellness products, it is also finding use in prescription medicines. GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) has created a CBD-based medicine to tackle child-onset epilepsy, a condition that can make a normal life almost unmanageable for the children it affects. This treatment has been approved by the FDA, making it the first cannabis plant-based prescription medicine to be legalized by the U.S. federal government (once the Drug Enforcement Administration reclassifies CBD, as expected this month in response to the FDA’s decision).

A global leader in the medical cannabis market, Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) works in research, cultivation, processing and distribution, providing cannabis extracts and flowers to patients, researchers and medical professionals on five continents. As Canada prepares for growth in the cannabis market following legalization, the company has made deals with Canadian partners to sell its products into that market. It has also developed a CBD and THC oil that has shown promising results in tackling drug-resistant epilepsy.

One of the more successful companies in the cannabis sector, Aphria, Inc. (OTC: APHQF) (TSX: APH) saw its profits and revenues rise steadily through 2016 and 2017. Aphria recently signed a letter of intent to form a joint venture with Perennial, Inc., in which the companies will collaborate on developing products for the Canadian cannabis market. Perennial’s expertise in strategic brand development will help Aphria reach more customers with its leading cannabis-based products, expanding its presence in one of the world’s most important cannabis markets.

Isodiol International, Inc. (OTC: ISOLF) (CSE: ISOL) is focused on CBD product development, with a range of offerings that includes skin cream, pain management and help with sleeping. It has recently expanded beyond its core products into support for those using cannabis-derived medicines through the creation of ISOCare. This secure platform will help to connect patients, their family doctors and physicians working with cannabis to ensure that patients receive the best possible longitudinal care.

The health benefits of cannabis and its derivatives are increasingly widely recognized. With huge potential for growth over the next few years, CBD and cannabis are drawing customers and companies like never before.

$NUGL Expands into $9 Billion Emerging Cannabis Market

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11, 2018 — via NetworkWire – NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) (the “Company”), the cannabis industry’s new standard of technology, today announces the expansion of its global marketing campaign to include a highly sought-after category – cannabis brands and accessories, which is estimated to be a $9 billion market and growing.

NUGL’s user-friendly cannabis search app is designed to respond to the specific needs of the cannabis industry and its consumer base. Adding cannabis brand categories to NUGL’s profile listings allows brands to make connections with dispensaries, which means branded products can now be highlighted at all locations where they are available for purchase.

“This is one of the core competencies of why we built NUGL. The brand search is truly unique, and we feel it is the best and only one of its type in the industry,” said Jeff Odle, CTO of NUGL.  The NUGL Business-to-Business application is one of – if not the most – robust software apps now being offered to assist brands and services in marketing and sales efforts.

Cannabis connoisseurs and newbies alike will find NUGL’s cannabis brand search function intuitive and responsive, now giving users the ability to search for name brands, types of flower, edibles and more. Cannabis brands are becoming more prominent in the industry as discriminating cannabis users become more loyal to the type of cannabis products they choose.

Forbes Magazine states, “Within consumer products, the emergence of dominant brands has been primarily centered around non-flower products: concentrates and vapes, edibles, and other ingestible in particular.” These profiles give users and cannabis industry professionals a much larger rolodex with better search and networking capabilities.

“We have an edge over the competition. Everyone is fighting over the dispensaries and charging large sums of money for a simple listing,” said Ryan Bartlette, CMO of NUGL “We have a much broader client base by expanding profiles far beyond dispensaries to include brands and services. The industry is growing and relatively untapped, so we will market to all of it.”

In 2017, U.S. legal cannabis sales were estimated at $9.2 billion by Arcview Market Research/ BDS Analytics. The organization forecasts a $47.3 billion market by 2027.

NUGL’s uniquely designed cannabis database platform features first-to-market technology that is attracting users and listings on a daily basis. NUGL’s flexible web app has no geographic limitations and can rapidly connect cannabis companies, related vertical services and users. The NUGL iOS and Android app brings a powerful cannabis search tool within reach of anyone, anytime, anywhere with the ease of a smartphone.

About NUGL

NUGL is the world’s first cannabis search app built for the people, by the people. Our goal is to build the most user-friendly app experience in the cannabis industry by listening to our users and giving them what they want. NUGL is the only cannabis search app that offers equal and unbiased search results. We don’t sell top-spot listings or fake reviews, so our data stays true. Use NUGL to search for genuine user-rated dispensaries, strains, doctors, lawyers, cannabis service providers, vape shops, hydro stores, brands and more.

$NETE Riding Crest of Rising Revenues in North America, Restructuring International Operations

  • Net Element subsidiary Netevia processed $1.62 billion in transactions during first half of 2018, with $1.4 billion occurring in North America
  • Company’s PayOnline subsidiary part of reorganization involving international business, mobile payments solutions
  • Net revenues rose 15 percent during the first half of the year, with gross profits expected to rise another $6.5 million during the next four years

Payment processing technology company Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) is seeing rising revenues from its North American market and is weighing options for monetizing mobile operations on a global scale through its agent contracts, while additional value-added efforts have branded it a company that continues to identify growth initiatives with independent equity research firm SeeThruEquity (http://nnw.fm/jmMJ1).

An edited transcript of Net Element’s August 15 earnings conference call released recently (http://nnw.fm/zKx3a) notes the dominance of domestic transactions in the company’s revenue report amid anticipated declines in the global payment solutions’ international arena of operations due to the elimination of branded content business as Net Element takes an opportunity to reorganize its international business and join its mobile payments operations with multi-channel subsidiary PayOnline.

The company’s North American Transaction Solutions segment saw net revenue growth over the prior year, according to the earnings report, with a six percent increase for the second quarter and a 15 percent increase for the six-month period. The United States accounted for 88 percent of the quarter’s total revenues, and 87 percent of the six-month total.

A solid sign of the success of Net Element’s Netevia processing platform is that the value of the financial transactions that the company processed grew from $1.18 billion in the first half of 2017 to $1.62 billion in the comparable period of 2018, with $1.4 billion of that amount occurring in North America. The number of transactions processed by the company grew from 35.7 million to 50.2 million.

Net Element’s expertise lies in providing multiple payment channel options to small and medium-sized businesses and their customers while adapting its platform to the particular needs of brick and mortar, unbanked and web-based businesses trying to get optimal results from their revenue streams.

Netevia employs single-use credit card numbers for electronic transactions as a means of combatting fraud when its customers share card information across the internet in e-commerce, for example. The company’s mobile Unified Payments subsidiary is helping smaller-sized businesses combat onerous card transaction fees by employing a subscription model that reduces many of the complications associated with services that aren’t fully responsive to the end user.

“Utilizing a transparent subscription-based pricing model combined with the latest technology solutions, Payment Club can provide positive options to frustrated merchants and streamline their payment processes,” Payment Club President Anthony Kutscher stated in a news release (http://nnw.fm/8DDy9).

CEO Oleg Firer told participants in last month’s conference call that the company is also on track to launch services such as blockchain technology solutions that have been in the works.

“Combined, these strategic initiatives are expected to add over $6.5 million in gross profit over the next 4 years. We’re on track to deliver another year of growth and financial improvement and are pleased with our results as we continue to focus on long-term growth plans,” he said.

$YGYI Discusses Scalability, Coffee & Cannabis in Exclusive NetworkNewsWire Interview

NEW YORK, Sept. 06, 2018 — via NetworkNewsAudio — NetworkNewsAudio (NNA), a NetworkNewsWire (NNW) Solution that delivers clients unparalleled visibility, recognition and brand awareness in the investment community, today announces the online availability of its interview with Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI), a client of NNW and a leading omni-direct lifestyle company offering a hybrid of the direct selling business model that combines e-commerce and the power of social selling.

The interview can be heard at http://nnw.fm/4aHWZ

NNW’s Stuart Smith introduces Youngevity’s president and CFO Dave Briskie, along with CEO Steve Wallach, in an interview that among other key topics reviews Youngevity’s innovative business model and strategic entrance into the legal cannabis space.

Targeting a global consumer base, Youngevity provides quality goods from the eight top selling retail categories: health/nutrition, home/family, food/beverage (including coffee), spa/beauty, fashion, essential oils, photo, and a range of innovative services. Of all its endeavors, the interview highlights the company’s coffee subsidiary, which cultivates in the rainforests of Nicaragua and crafts some of the world’s finest coffee products.

Also discussed is Youngevity’s entrance into the $7.7 billion cannabis market via the launch of the Hemp FX™ product line for pain relief, sleep aid assistance and mood enhancement. The three initial products are only the beginning of a line that will provide the company footing in the hemp-based cannabidiol (“CBD”) market, which management expects could likely become the fastest and largest selling supplemental ingredient in the U.S.

The interview then moves to detail the company’s management team, combining an armory of experience pertinent to the company’s mission. Briskie and Wallach joined forces in 2011, merging their successful coffee and direct selling companies to create what today is a multi-million-dollar public company with most recent annual revenues of $166 million.

The company has maintained its momentum, leveraging key synergies to complete its 21st annual convention and continue its expansion into the cannabis market.

The interview also provides insight into Youngevity’s growth strategy and scalability, offering the investment community a look at exciting things planned for the company’s future.

$PFSF to Support International Trade with Blockchain eCommerce Platform

  • Ecommerce platform fostering international trade between Brazil and China
  • Based on marquee hyperledger blockchain technology
  • Built on IBM Hyperledger Blockchain BaaS Infrastructure

Since the publication of Adam Smith’s ‘The Wealth of Nations’ in 1776, which, among other things, set out the theory of absolute advantage, and David Ricardo’s ‘On the Principles of Political Economy’, published in 1819, which introduced the advantageous subtleties of comparative advantage, no sensible person has sought to deny that international trade has its benefits. Even if a nation were the most efficient producer of all goods and services, it could still profit from trade because of the inescapable toll of opportunity cost. Economic resources are scarce and so making one thing always means not producing some other thing. Consequently, rather than trying to be a jack of all trades, which inevitably means being master of none, a nation should specialize in what it does best. In line with that economic theory, accepted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Pacific Software, Inc. (OTC: PFSF) is now out to facilitate global trade (http://nnw.fm/4b3AJ). The company has announced the signing of a definitive agreement to begin construction of its proprietary ecommerce trade platform.

Under the agreement, Cobalt 47 Technologies Ltd., a spin-off of KBQuest Group, will commence construction of Pacific Software’s multi-lingual e-commerce B2B and B2C trade platform (http://nnw.fm/AzUH4). The platform is expected to be in production by November 2018 and will integrate blockchain components, including the company’s Agri-Blockchain. The technology, designed to work as an overlay to existing international distribution channels, is meant to facilitate trade between exporters in Brazil and importers in China, but, as may be expected, it has wider application. KBQuest Group, Inc. is the leading Microsoft distributor in China and was named ‘Microsoft SQL Partner of the Year 2017’.

Development of the PFSF platform will be undertaken using IBM’s Hyperledger Blockchain “Backend as a Service” (BaaS) Infrastructure The IBM BaaS platform has the capability to record, store and track a variety of digital product information, such as farm origination details, batch numbers, factory and processing data, expiration dates, storage temperatures and shipping details.

Hyperledger is the name given to an initiative, which began in 2015, when a number of blockchain developers decided to pool their resources. The 30 founding members were ABN AMRO, Accenture, ANZ Bank, Blockchain, BNY Mellon, Calastone, Cisco, CLS, CME Group, ConsenSys, Credits, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), Deutsche Börse Group, Digital Asset Holdings, Fujitsu Limited, Guardtime, Hitachi, IBM, Intel, IntellectEU, J.P. Morgan, NEC, NTT DATA, R3, Red Hat, State Street, SWIFT, Symbiont, VMware and Wells Fargo.

These companies selected the nonprofit Linux to manage the enterprise, which has grown rapidly since inception. There are now more than 230 member organizations working on the current 10 projects, involving some 3.6 million lines of code. To date, the 10 active working groups have drawn close to 28,000 participants who have attended the 110+ meetings held so far. The aim of the Hyperledger project is to make blockchain technology available as modular, open-source platforms that are easy to utilize.

Initially, PFSF’s Agri-Blockchain platform may target Brazil’s substantial beef exports to China. Every year, the South American giant exports about $5 billion of beef, most of which goes to Hong Kong. The advantages of implementing a blockchain system for Brazilian meat exports are many. The blockchain will ensure transparency and trust with regard to origin, product quality, product safety and other factors. Additionally, in the event of food contamination, blockchain will be allow experts to pinpoint the exact source, which will reduce costs tremendously. Typically, under present supply chain systems, large quantities of good food are recalled and destroyed after an alert or warning is issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This, of course, adds the costs of wasting good food to the damage sustained by removing the infected food. Every year, around 420,000 people die due to food contaminated by bacteria, chemicals, viruses, parasites and toxins.

$NUGL North American Growth Exceeds Expectations

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 06, 2018 — via NetworkWire – NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) (the “Company”), the cannabis industry’s new standard of technology, today announces the North American growth of its industry-leading cannabis search platform has surpassed expectations as its online user base and number of profile listings continues to expand.

NUGL strategically launched its North American marketing campaign early last month with an eye toward attracting additional users and profile listings located throughout the North American region. NUGL’s marketing campaign took advantage of the benefits of social media, created test emails designed to attract consumers and clients, and utilized the time-honored method of directly contacting potentially interested parties to share what NUGL has to offer.

“We have methodically approached both users and profile listings simultaneously. We are determined to grow the user base while expanding the company’s listings and profiles at the same time.  It is a chicken before the egg scenario. We have found the correct balance and now can scale,” Ryan Bartlett, CMO of NUGL, said. “NUGL is reaching thousands of users, hundreds of claimed profiles and is growing on both fronts daily. The NUGL Instagram has reached approximately 10,000 followers in one month and seems to have no end in sight.”

Further development of NUGL’s sophisticated software application is in full swing as well. Major updates for both Apple iOS and Android apps launched in August include advanced filtering which gives users the ability to selectively search for distinct features that matter most to them.

“As our user base grows so does our knowledge of what the cannabis community needs. We receive critical feedback from our users, allowing us to build what they want and cater to their unique needs,” said Jeff Odle, NUGL CTO.

NUGL plans to launch its biggest feature yet in the coming weeks – an integrated menu with sharing capabilities – and is diligently rolling out new features weekly. NUGL offers the most robust B-to-B application and networking solution in the industry, providing a one of a kind platform for brands and services in the rapidly evolving cannabis space. The NUGL iOS and Android app brings a powerful cannabis search tool within reach of anyone, anytime, anywhere with the ease of a smartphone.

About NUGL

NUGL is the world’s first cannabis search app built for the people, by the people. Our goal is to build the most user-friendly app experience in the cannabis industry by listening to our users and giving them what they want. NUGL is the only cannabis search app that offers equal and unbiased search results. We don’t sell top-spot listings or fake reviews, so our data stays true. Use NUGL to search for genuine user-rated dispensaries, strains, doctors, lawyers, cannabis service providers, vape shops, hydro stores, brands and more.
