CORAL GABLES, FL / February 19, 2019 / The marijuana stock market shares much of its success from the recent boom taking place in the legal marijuana industry around the world. On a near daily basis, companies are entering the space with innovative approaches to how to best utilize the multitude of benefits presented by partaking in the use of recreational/medicinal cannabis. One of the more significant updates to the legal weed market has been the advent of Canadian recreational legalization, which took effect in October 2018. In addition to the success enjoyed by Canadian legalization, California’s legislative efforts have demonstrated the potential opportunities that can be created when cannabis is legalized. Although cannabis remains federally criminalized, if more US states follow in California’s footsteps, this may result in an influx of investors looking to the marijuana stock market for opportunities. Nabis Holdings (INNPF) (NAB), INSYS Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: INSY), CannTrust Holdings Inc (OTC PINK: CNTTF), and Canopy Rivers Inc (OTC PINK: CNPOF) (TSX-V: RIV) are four cannabis companies picking up speed on Tuesday.
Nabis Holdings (INNPF) (NAB) is a Canadian investment company focused on investing in high-quality cash flowing and strategic assets across multiple aspects of the cannabis sector primarily in the U.S. limited license states with a roadmap to expand globally. The Company has put in work to identify profitable ventures, specifically in U.S. markets, with high-growth potential in order to discern when to acquire a majority stake in the companies.
Nabis Holdings (INNPF) (NAB)announced last week that the Company has entered into a binding term sheet with Momentum Ideas Co to acquire certain assets used and marketed under the brand Bloombox, including the Bloombox Software and data platform. Nabis’ acquisition of Bloombox will create a dominating presence in the growing U.S. cannabis market, featuring an integrated ecosystem of modern, next-generation technology. According to the details of the agreement, the Bloombox team will be working closely with Sam Gammon, the inbound Chief Technology Officer of Nablis, following the closing of the investment.
Shay Shnet, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Nabis Holdings (INNPF) (NAB), said, “Bloombox is a strategic investment for Nabis as it creates a very well established retail and supply chain ecosystem to be used and distributed across the Nabis’ network of dispensaries across the United States,” said Shay Shnet, CEO & Director of Nabis. “We look forward to working with the Bloombox team to further establish this retail cannabis software as the industry standard that we expect to be adopted by almost all cannabis retail locations, supply chain, & users.”
INSYS Thereapeutics Inc (INSY), a leader in the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical cannabinoids and spray technology, announced in early January the results of a dose-finding pharmacokinetic (PK) study (INS015-18-124) of its epinephrine nasal spray. These results identified a dose that showed a PK profile similar to that of intramuscular injection of EpiPen® (0.3 mg) and Adrenalin® (0.5 mg), both of which are treatments for anaphylaxis, an acute, life-threatening allergic reaction.
Following the Company’s announcement, Dr. Venkat Goskonda, senior vice president of research and development, commented, “these results enable us to select an appropriate dose for advancing to the next stage of clinical development. We look forward to working with the FDA to bring a new treatment option for allergy sufferers who experience anaphylaxis.”
CannTrust Holdings Inc (CNTTF) announced last week that the Company had appointed Greg Guyatt, CPA CA as Chief Financial Officer effective February 19, 2019, further strengthening the Company’s leadership team. Per the announcement, Greg comes to the Company from GreenSpace Brands Inc, a Canadian-based natural food product company, where he served as CFO.
Peter Aceto, Chief Executive Officer of CannTrust, said, “we are very pleased to have Greg join CannTrust and deepen the executive leadership team as we look towards our listing on the NYSE and beyond. On behalf of everyone at CannTrust, I would like to thank Ian Abramowitz for his financial leadership over the past two years and look forward to working with him in his new role as Senior Vice President of Global Investments and Partnerships.”
Canopy Rivers Inc (CNPOF) (RIV) enjoyed impressive gains in early afternoon trading on Tuesday, with shares up 3.54%, trading at $3.78 per share. The Company announced earlier this month that it had entered into an agreement with CIBC Capital Markets and Eight Capital, under which the joint book runners agreed to purchase, together with a syndicate of underwriters, 11,500,000 subordinated voting shares of the company on a bought deal basis.
Per the details of the announcement at the time, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies, new domestic and international investments, working capital and general corporate purposes.

A new year means new technology. No industry is immune to the modern advancements of an online world. But cannabis is anything but traditional, and the technology these pot stocks are using is a testament to the evolution of our industry. From blockchain and e-commerce to lighting and cultivation, cannabis is at the forefront of technological innovation.
Here are the latest technology updates in cannabis:
Harvest One Cannabis employs the latest blockchain technology
The buzz around Bitcoin may have tapered out, but blockchain technology is not going anywhere. For cannabis, blockchain offers one of the most efficient ways to track and label plant strains and genomes. Harvest One Cannabis (TSXV:HVT) (OTCQX:HRVOF) is the latest pot stock to implement blockchain through their agreement with BLOCKStrain Technology Corp. (TSXV:DNAX) (OTC:BKKSF).
Harvest One will use BLOCKStrain’s authenticity and tracking platform to support its current cannabis sales platform. Labels for each medical cannabis product will now be confirmed through the blockchain program so that consumers can trust that their cannabis is exactly what it says it is.
“BLOCKStrain’s technology is intended to enable us to guarantee that our strain origins and content are exactly as labeled, providing medical consumers with a level of certainty they could not expect with similar, unverified products,” Harvest One CEO Grant Froese explained in the press release.
Tracking cannabis is a unique task as there are thousands of strains of marijuana and the list is constantly growing and changing. When medical marijuana patients have specific needs and are looking for specific strains, it is extremely important for licensed producers to guarantee that the label matches the product. BLOCKStrain was the first technology firm to create a fully-integrated IP tracking platform for cannabis with blockchain technology, and Harvest One will be using the technology on 30 of their products to start. In the future, all of Harvest One’s products will be verified through blockchain technology.
Green Growth Brands launches new e-commerce website
Despite being outright rejected by Aphria last week, Green Growth Brands (CSE:GGB) (OTCQB:GGBXF) is pushing ever forward. They expanded their brick and mortar strategy last week through their partnership with the Simon Property Group, and this week they are expanding digitally through a brand new e-commerce website.
The new website is powered by Green Growth’s Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy brand, a line of CBD-infused beauty and personal care products. Anyone can access the website, but only consumers in a handful of states (which are listed in the press release) will be able to have their products shipped to them. Green Growth promises more states will open up as “CBD is becoming more common in the United States.”
“Sales through our digital channel are a huge component of our strategy,” Green Growth CEO Peter Horvath clarified on Thursday. “Our digital presence is harmonious with our bricks and mortar strategy. The site expands our reach and will drive subsequent purchases for our customers who have shopped at our Seventh Sense shops or our assortment at DSW.”
Finding a balance between e-commerce and traditional retail is tricky, especially for cannabis companies navigating state and federal laws. Seventh Sense Botanical is made with legally sourced hemp and not marijuana, yet Green Growth is still only able to ship their CBD products to 29 states. Could this limitation harm their bottom line?
While it implies a certain sense of exclusivity that could potentially drive sales, other cannabis companies are shipping across the country and the globe. Green Growth no doubt has their eye on the competition, but they will want to reach their entire market if they truly want to compete.
Liht Cannabis to use cutting edge liquid cooled lighting technology
Liht Cannabis Corp. (CSE:LIHT) (OTCQX:LIHTF) chose an innovative new lighting technology for their Canadian cultivation facilities. The new lights and monitoring system will be installed in their facilities in British Columbia, including their brand new 486,000-square-foot indoor grow space.
The Agentix LED lighting system Liht is exclusively using comes with two unique efficacy controls. First, the lights are full-spectrum, providing every color of light cannabis plants need during the various stages of growth. Second, and most unique, are the lights’ ability to stay cool through a water loop inside of the light.
Cannabis plants are highly sensitive to light and temperature, and the water in the Agentix lights removes the heat from the grow space without any extra work from the cultivator’s side. The goal is to eliminate the use of humidifiers, air conditioning, and other strains on the HVAC systems without sacrificing the health of the plants or the quality of the cannabis.
According to the press release, Liht expects to see their energy costs cut in half with the new lights. The pot stock’s goal is to keep the cost of their organic cannabis low and affordable for all consumers, and Agentix provides them with a modern answer to the never-ending question of how to save money.

“Our acquisition of Khrysos is extremely exciting on a number of levels,” said Youngevity CEO Steve Wallach. “Beyond the fact that Khrysos’ hemp-CBD extraction technology is far more efficient than most anything else on the market, we’re acquiring a turnkey business model here. Their systems are applicable to the entire industry and are immediately implementable across our own line of HempFX products as well as in offtake agreements we have through our existing business relationships. We see this as providing not only immense value to our company, but also to our investors–by selling not just the extraction systems, but also servicing and operating those systems via a rental model, they will provide us with continuous, ongoing profitability.”
The acquisition of Khrysos and a 20 percent ownership stake in the Carolina Cannabis Company will allow Youngevity to establish a similar model in the cannabis sector. By taking ownership of the production, processing, branding and sales of CBD products, the company plans to profit from every stage in the process and ensure that its products are produced both efficiently and to the highest standards.

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF), a cannabis-focused research and development company, was recently classified in an Institutional Equity Research report by CIBC World Markets as one of the few small- and medium-sized businesses that have what it takes to lead the new global cannabis market. A recent article discussing TGODF reads, “According to the CIBC World Markets report, strong management teams offer investors the best guidelines in terms of entities that have the potential to become global leaders. . . . The management’s vision for the future is much more important in this industry than a valuation, the report concludes. While a valuation is still relevant, it matters less than in other industries. It has had little effect on cannabis trading patterns, while regulatory change, external investment and demonstration of operational execution have established themselves as much more important factors.”
The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings is a publicly traded, premium global organic cannabis company with operations focused on medical cannabis markets in Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America, as well as the Canadian adult-use market. The company grows high-quality, organic cannabis with sustainable, all-natural principles. TGOD’s products are laboratory tested to ensure patients have access to a standardized, safe and consistent product. TGOD has a planned global capacity of 219,000 kgs. and is building 1,643,600 square feet of cultivation and processing facilities across Ontario, Quebec, Jamaica and Denmark.

HOUSTON, TX / February 14, 2019 / Cannabis has going mainstream with retail.
Consumers are already seeing CBD-infused beer, food, health, supplements, medications, beauty aids, and clothing. It’s even disrupting the $4.2 trillion global wellness industry.
DSW for example, has been running tests in its stores with CBD, announcing plans to expand such products to nearly 100 stores. Neiman Marcus is pushing ahead with CBD sales at some of its stores and online. Simon Property Group is partnering with Green Growth Brands to open 108 stores in its malls just in 2019.
Barney’s will launch “The High End,” a luxury cannabis retail shop in Beverly Hills, California in partnership with cannabis company, Beboe.
“Barneys New York has always been at the forefront of shifts in culture and lifestyle, and cannabis is no exception,’ said Daniella Vitale, Chief Executive Officer & President, Barneys New York. “Many of our customers have made cannabis a part of their lifestyle, and The High End caters to their needs with extraordinary products and service they experience in every facet of Barneys New York.”
“There is a demand for high-end CBD products,” notes Neiman Marcus, as quoted by CNN. “CBD products are the next big thing in beauty.”
As more retailers see the opportunity that DSW, Simon Property, Neiman Marcus, and Barney’s already do, the story could become even more explosive.
Along the way, it’s creating sizable sales opportunity for several companies, including The Yield Growth Corporation (CSE: BOSS)(OTCQB: BOSQF), HEXO Corporation (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE: HEXO), and The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD)(OTC: TGODF)
The Yield Growth Corporation (BOSS)(BOSQF), for example, just announced the launch of six new products with its proprietary hemp root oil under the Urban Juve brand: Vitalize Face Mist, Balance Face Mist, Align Face Mist, Vitalize Daily Ritual Oil, Balance Daily Ritual Oil and Align Daily Ritual Oil.
The six new products now complete Phase One of the Urban Juve product line, bringing the total number of separate product SKU’s to 11. Within two weeks the six new products may be purchased online at urbanjuve.com and will be available for sale through retailers. Phase two launch of Urban Juve products is expected to begin in June 2019 and will include 10 more personal care products.
“I’m so impressed at the speed our talented team has brought these high-quality products to market,” says Penny Green, CEO of Yield Growth, “We are positioned to be at the forefront of the hemp and cannabis revolution which is disrupting the $4.2 trillion wellness industry.”

The Green Organic Dutchman (TGOD)( TGODF)is developing a distribution hug for large-scale beverage and edible products that can be introduced in Canada and abroad.
“We believe that the beverage and edible market will be the largest single segment of the cannabis market. Cannabis, as the base ingredient, makes these products possible. The medicinal and recreational market for CBD and THC will only increase over time and starting with an organic input is the most important aspect to developing these higher margin products,” notes TGOD President Csaba Reider.

In addition, these strategic moves may ideally prepare the company for expansion prospects throughout the rest of the country.

POINT ROBERTS, Wash. and DELTA, British Columbia, Feb. 14, 2019 — Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at how recent developments in the EU Parliament as well as WHO (World Health Organization) could have massive impacts on the cannabis market and which companies are preparing for this next step in the radically expanding sector.
In breaking news yesterday, the European Parliament passed a resolution calling on the European Commission and EU countries to provide a legal definition and draw a clear distinction between cannabis-based medicines approved by regulatory bodies, MMJ not supported by clinical trials, and other applications of the plant.
The current patchwork of regulations in Europe has been seen as one of the main challenges for firms trying to expand into different markets and this resolution “emphasizes the need for the standardization and unification of products containing cannabis-based medicines.”
The resolution calls on the commission and national authorities “to address the regulatory, financial and cultural barriers” that have been hindering scientific research and “stresses the importance of close cooperation and coordination with the World Health Organization,” who recently recommended the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs to reschedule cannabis.
This will come as good news to Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB.TO), who has already entered the European market having announced earlier this month its first commercial export of cannabis oil to the United Kingdom (UK), making it one of the first Canadian companies to commercially supply cannabis-based medicines into the UK under the new legal framework.
American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH) is also looking to the EU, having announced that it has established a business development team based in the UK and Spain to pursue distribution deals and strategic partnerships for the Company’s LALPINA brand across the Continent. The team will be led by Tanya Gullick, who will hold the title of Managing Director, Business Development, UK & Europe, with Paolo Toffolo as Director of Sales & Marketing for UK & Europe.
American Premium CEO, Ryan Fishoff, commented, “I am thrilled to announce the Company’s entry into the European continent. This market has been largely ignored by a lot of our counterparts but collectively is as large as the US and Canadian hemp markets. This will be a huge potential market for the Company once we export our THC infused beverage that complies with all federal and international laws. It’s an exciting time and I look forward to going there to meet the entire team and work on the strategy for the region.”
At the start of the month, Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA.TO) (NYSE: APHA) completed its first transfer of plant cuttings from four of the Company’s cannabis strains to Denmark-based Schroll Medical as part of the Company’s previously announced Strategic Partnership with Schroll. The shipment was completed under permits issued by the relevant health authorities, including an export permit from Health Canada, an import permit from the Danish Medicines Agency and a phytosanitary certificate from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
“We are pleased to introduce the first four Aphria strains to be produced in Europe, through our strategic alliance with Schroll,” said Hendrik Knopp, Managing Director of Aphria Germany, who is overseeing the Partnership on behalf of Aphria and Schroll. “This marks another important milestone for Aphria as we extend our leadership position in the European market, and it gives me joy to be able to say today that we literally have a good thing growing in Europe.”
Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSXV:RIV) has also been investing in the EU, having announced a $9.4 million equity investment in its portfolio company Canapar Corp., the Canadian parent corporation of Canapar SrL, an Italy-based organic hemp production and processing platform. The investment aligned with the Company’s global-focused growth strategy and is expected to provide the Company with the opportunity to capitalize on the rapidly expanding European CBD market.
These recent recommendations from the EU and WHO could blow the lid off the cannabis sector and allow for much more freedom with regards to trade, transportation and research, but with expansion comes new challenges and companies like HIPH and Aurora, who have already begun investing in this area, are likely to have a major advantage moving forward.

CORAL GABLES, FL / February 14,2019 / What’s interesting about marijuana stocks is how they’ve managed to overcome great adversity throughout the course of the past few years, and still generate excitement. Companies invested in the cannabis sector have known from the very beginning that the odds were stacked against them, in terms of public support. Only recently, after the passing of monumental pieces of legislation in favor of legalizing marijuana, have people started to change their minds. Though the naysayers still try to speak the loudest, the fact is cannabis companies know how incredible their products are, and how these products can dramatically improve the quality of life for consumers. As we progress into the future, if public opinion continues to turn more favorable, this could result in investors flocking to the nascent cannabis sector. Next Green Wave Holdings Inc (NXGWF) (NGW), Sunniva Inc (OTCQB: SNNVF), Lexaria Bioscience Corp (OTCQX: LXRP), and United Cannabis Corporation (OTCQB: CNAB) are 4 pot stocks worth paying attention to this month.
Next Green Wave Holdings Inc (NXGWF) (NGW) is a vertically integrated seed-to-consumer premium medicinal and recreational cannabis company operating in California, the world’s largest cannabis market. Presently, the Company owns and operates over 15 acres of cannabis-zoned development land is nearing completion on its first proprietary engineered 35,000 sq. ft. facility. The Company is determined to provide premium products and brands to both medicinal and adult use consumers.
Next Green Wave Holdings Inc (NXGWF) (NGW) today announced that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding to take a strategic investment in Organic Medical Growth OMG3 INC, a Canadian based company operating a wholly owned Colombian subsidiary called Proymed S.A.S. Proymed is a medical cannabis company focused on producing and commercializing non-psychoactive (CBD) products derived from medicinal and industrial cannabis. Proymed is finalizing its transformation and psychoactive (THC) licenses in Colombia as well as finalizing international distribution agreements.
Following this announcement, Leigh Huges, CEO of Next Green Wave Holdings Inc (NXGWF) (NGW), said, “we are excited to become a strategic partner of OMG as they position themselves to be a leader in the production and distribution of medical cannabis in Colombia. With the likes of PharmaCielo Ltd. and Khiron Life Sciences Corp gaining recent global exposure in the cannabis world, it is clear that Colombia hasthe brilliant potential for a low-cost, high-margin business model. Our partnership will benefit both parties by accelerating OMG to become a leader in the Colombian market whilst giving Next Green Wave future licensing opportunities and distribution beyond the California market.”
Sunniva Inc (SNNVF), a North American provider of cannabis products and services, today announced that the Company has secured an additional $4 million in purchase orders from select retail dispensaries in southern California for Sunniva branded cannabis products. This increases the total sales orders received to date to USD $11.5 million of products to be sold in the first four months of 2019.
Per the details of the announcement, Sunniva anticipates continued growth in sales volumes in the second quarter, increasing monthly throughout the year, secured by similar types of retail purchase contracts.
Lexaria Bioscience Corp (LXRP) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Lexaria Nicotine LLC and Altria Ventures Inc, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Altria Group Inc have executed definitive agreements to pursue innovation in oral, reduced risk nicotine consumer products using Lexaria’s patented DehydraTECH™ technology. Lexaria’s DehydraTECH™ technology enhances the performance of beneficial compounds in ingestible products across four categories: taste & smell, the speed of action, bio-absorption and bioavailability.
Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria, commented, “Lexaria Bioscience is proud that, after careful selection, Altria has chosen to fund research into DehydraTECH™ technology and potentially commercialize this technology for oral nicotine. This partnership will provide significant benefits to Lexaria Bioscience and its shareholders with a world-class R&D Program and regulatory compliance process. We believe Altria is the best corporate partner we could work with to truly make a difference in the lives of millions of consumers.”
United Cannabis Corporation (CNAB) announced earlier this week that the Company has entered into a joint venture with Blue Water Green Bridge, LLC, to establish an industrial hemp processing plant. Following the passing of the 2018 Federal Farm Bill, the joint venture will be able to produce industrial hemp for the growing domestic markets.
Per the details of the announcement, the Company expects to expand the services offered to include purification, testing and processing, as well as packaging, fulfillment, and secure storage capabilities.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2019 — via CannabisNewsWire – CannabisNewsWire (“CNW”), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company, today announces the publication of an editorial featuring Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTC: NUGS), a client of CNW focused on incubating, developing and partnering with category leaders within the cannabis sector.
To view the full publication, titled “Cannabis Cultivators Profit from Growing Legal Market,” visit: http://cnw.fm/m0vAk
The growth of the cannabis sector has led to the rise of companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTC: NUGS), a holding company for cannabis industry start-ups and growth-stage enterprises that is moving into cannabis cultivation in Northern California. Such companies are keen to talk up the potential of the cannabis market, and unlike some other sectors, cannabis shows every sign of living up to the hype.
The wave of cannabis-friendly legislation has allowed companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures to get their businesses started and access a broad legal customer base. Other legislation has maintained a lower profile but is equally important for the industry. In December, the 2018 Farm Bill belatedly passed through Congress after months of negotiations. In the process, it lifted the ban on commercial hemp, making it far easier for cultivators to produce this form of cannabis.

New Video Demonstrates PBI’s Ultra Shear Technology and Potential Impact in CBD, Nutraceuticals, Foods, Cosmetics, and Other Oil-Based Markets
SOUTH EASTON, MA / February 13, 2019 / Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) (”PBI” and the ”Company”), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables, and platform technology solutions to the life sciences and other industries, today released a short video demonstrating the Company’s proprietary Ultra Shear Technology (USTTM) platform and its ability to create extremely small, nanometer-scale oil droplets that effectively dissolve in water (nanoemulsions) to provide optimized bioavailability for absorption.
Dr. Bradford A. Young, Chief Commercial Officer of Pressure BioSciences, explained: ”We have all observed how oil and water do not normally mix or dissolve in each other, and routinely separate after mixing. Even with modern, advanced mixing technologies, oils remain in relatively large drops in water, which are poorly absorbed by the body. PBI’s proprietary UST platform employs ultra-high pressure and extreme shearing forces to create very small, nano-scale emulsions (nanoemulsions) of oil droplets in water with vastly improved absorption and stability characteristics.”
Bioavailability describes the percentage of and rate at which a substance is absorbed into the bloodstream. Oil-water emulsions of nutraceuticals and supplements present a serious challenge for many oral and transdermal therapies, due to most of the beneficial molecules remaining hidden inside of the oil drops. For CBD products commonly consumed orally – including CBD oils in edibles and beverages – absorption is typically below 10% (ERTH 8/28/2018: Water Soluble CBD – The Science of Nanoemulsion and Bioavailability). PBI believes that processing with the UST platform will deliver greatly improved absorption results (90% or higher) for CBD and other oil-based supplements.
Dr. Young continued: ”For many oil-based products, the ability to create nanoemulsions can improve a product’s absorption, medicinal benefits, visual appearance, and sensory presentation. The potential for the UST platform to impact the CBD industry is promising, with the total cannabinoid market expected to hit $22 billion by 2022 (Brightfield Group, 2018), with CBD oil-based supplements being the cornerstone of this market. More importantly, while CBD is an attractive opportunity for our proprietary UST platform, we believe that the nutraceuticals, topicals and cosmetics, and food and beverage markets as mentioned could be 10-50 times larger. We will be addressing these additional market opportunities in parallel with our efforts in CBD.”
The short video released today is the first in a series of product-targeted video presentations designed to offer investors, future clients, and other interested groups additional information on PBI’s UST platform and the numerous applications and opportunities for this transformational, proprietary technology.

Wednesday, February 13th, 2019UncategorizedComments Off on $PBIO Makes CBD Oil Water Soluble, Addressing CBD Absorption Issue
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 13, 2019 — Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI), a leading omni-direct lifestyle company, announced today that it has entered into a binding agreement to purchase all the assets of Khrysos Global–a Tampa, Florida based manufacturer of hemp-based CBD extraction equipment. This acquisition is intended to establish YGYI’s newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Khrysos Industries, Inc, as a global player in the field-to-finish hemp-CBD oil, isolate, and distillate market, and also would give YGYI ownership of INX Labs and its testing facilities, allowing the company unprecedented capabilities in regards to formulation, quality control, and testing standards with its CBD products.
“I’m ecstatic about this purchase and what it signals for this moment in our company’s history,” Dave Briskie, President and CFO of YGYI said about the acquisition. “The purchase of the assets of Khrysos Global should be the catalyst that launches YGYI into the hemp-CBD space. We expect it will serve as a cornerstone of our comprehensive strategy as it relates to the production, cultivation, and extraction of hemp, CBD oil, as well as other CBs (cannabinoids).”
“Our agreement to acquire Khrysos is extremely exciting on a number of levels,” added YGYI CEO and Chairman of the Board, Steve Wallach. “Beyond the fact that we believe Khrysos’ hemp-CBD extraction technology is far more efficient than most anything else on the market, we’re acquiring a turn-key business model here. Their systems are applicable to the entire industry and are immediately implementable across our own line of HempFX™ products, as well as in offtake agreements we have through our existing business relationships. We see this as providing not only immense value to our company, but also to our investors since we’ll be selling not just the extraction systems, but also generating income servicing and operating these systems via a rental model.”
The agreement to purchase the assets of Khrysos is just the latest move in YGYI’s increasing stake in the rapidly growing hemp-CBD market: In January, the company entered into an exclusive cross-marketing agreement with Icelandic Glacial bottled water with the expressed intent of developing a ready-to-drink CBD product with the company. “For us, this partnership with YGYI was a unique proposition which we could not turn down,” said Dwayne Dundore, President of Khrysos. “We already have ongoing production operations and existing customers from coast-to-coast, so being able to partner with YGYI to upscale our extraction processes should provide a huge mutual benefit for both companies.”
Per the purchase agreement, all assets of Khrysos Global are to be acquired by YGYI, including all real property, joint venture agreements, contracts rights, intellectual property, trademarks, copyrights, and service marks in exchange for a total consideration of $16,000,000, of which 1,794,972 shares of common stock (having a deemed value of $14,000,000) and $500,000 shall be paid at closing. In addition, YGYI agreed to issue to the principals of Khrysos, subject to the approval of stockholders and The Nasdaq Stock Market, contingent consideration warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10 per share upon the achievement of certain revenue and net income milestones.
The closing of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement is scheduled for February 15, 2019 and is subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions. In accordance with the acquisition, Khrysos will provide ongoing consulting and advisory services to YGYI as it pertains to the manufacturing of its proprietary technology, as well as the production of both CBD extracts and finished goods.
About Youngevity International, Inc. YGYI, Inc. (NASDAQ:YGYI), is a leading omni-direct lifestyle company offering a hybrid of the direct selling business model, that also offers e-commerce and the power of social selling. Assembling a virtual Main Street of products and services under one corporate entity YGYI offers products from the eight top-selling retail categories: health/nutrition, home/family, food/beverage (including coffee), spa/beauty, fashion, essential oils, photo, as well as innovative services.

Tuesday, February 12th, 2019UncategorizedComments Off on $NUGS Cannabis Cultivators Profit from Growing Legal Market
POINT ROBERTS, Wash. and DELTA, British Columbia, Feb. 12, 2019 — Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing demand for diversification, whether through e-commerce infrastructure or a proper CBD catalogue, as the cannabis industry keeps growing.
In a recent report from Brightfield Group: “The CBD market is projected to have reached $591 million in 2018, and the pet CBD market expected to have a CAGR or 195% from 2018 to 2022, outpacing the general CBD market’s CAGR of 147% for the same period. The beauty and skincare topicals are expected to have a whopping five-year CAGR of 214%, and drinks are expected to be a huge CBD growth area, projected to jump from a $12 million market in 2018 to a $200 million-plus market in 2019 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 242% through 2022.”
Growth in the CBD market as well as online e-commerce growth is changing the game, forcing companies to adapt and diversify in order to ride this growing green wave.
MassRoots, Inc. (OTC: MSRT), one of the leading technology platforms for the regulated cannabis industry is an example of one such company looking to further its reach in these expanding markets.
Powered by more than one million registered users, the Company’s mobile apps empower consumers to make educated cannabis purchasing decisions through community-driven reviews.
The company announced recently that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire COWA Sciences, Inc., a supply-chain as a service company, for common-stock consideration valued at approximately $8 million.
News: “MassRoots’ management team has been observing COWA Sciences and their growth trajectory for several years and are impressed with the book of business they’ve built with minimal outside capital investment,” stated Mr. Isaac Dietrich, MassRoots’ Chief Executive Officer. “This acquisition will be immediately accretive and allow us to better diversify ourselves in the rapidly emerging cannabis industry. Going forward, MassRoots is confident that the addition of COWA Sciences will increase overall revenues, expand our market presence and generate positive cash-flows from operations.”
MassRoots, Inc. also made another recent announcement on signing an agreement with New Age Brands subsidiary, We are Kured, LLC to serve as a leading online retailer of the Company’s #1 best-selling CBD Pen.
We Are Kured, LLC’s Vaporizer Pen will be the first CBD product to be sold directly through MassRoots’ impressive online platform and social media pages.
In their outline Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth commented, “Canopy has been preparing for and investing in this opportunity for several years now, through strategic acquisitions, infrastructure expansion, and extensive internal research and development. With the door now open, we are moving fast to bring our considerable resources to establish the same market leadership position internationally that we have earned in the Canadian cannabis market. Canopy has a strong supply of CBD, a significant channel presence, the IP to drive the CBD industry forward to the benefit of consumers, and the balance sheet needed to act now.”
Other companies are looking to expand their online performance as The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD.TO) (TGODF) and HelloMD, a leading online cannabis healthcare company, announced their partnership last December to streamline TGOD’s medical cannabis onboarding experience in which TGOD will begin selling its premium, certified-organic cannabis to medical patients in late January. With this in mind, TGOD also upgraded its online experience to include patient portals, consumer education centers and an entirely redesigned investor section.
Australis Capital Inc. (CSE:AUSA) (OTC:AUSCF) also announced their interest in the CBD space with their recent investment of $3,000,000 USD in Folium Biosciences, the largest vertically integrated producer, manufacturer and distributor of hemp derived phytocannabinoids in the United States. Folium also owns and operates the largest phytocannabinoid extraction and purification facility in the United States, with plans for a new pharmaceutical division and the completion of their Canadian facility in 2019.
Just as tree roots search for alternate sources of water, cannabis companies must seek out alternate sources of revenue to compete in this ever changing landscape.

As legislation and public perception continue to change surrounding the cannabis sector, particularly hemp, we see more and more retail and supply chain agreements coming to the sector in 2019; many in new areas with new partners to the industry.
It’s a big week for cannabis stocks, with some of the leaders reporting earnings and major deals being announced – showcasing how significant this sector is becoming.
Making sure to strike while the iron is hot for cannabis, Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) announced yesterday that it has entered into an agreement with Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE: SPG), giving GGB access to 108 prime shop locations in US malls owned and operated by Simon. GGB will further expand its chain of CBD-infused personal care product shops under the Seventh Sense botanical therapy brand and other GGB brands.
“Our partnership with Simon allows GGB to launch our brands and CBD products in premier shopping destinations across the US,” said Peter Horvath, CEO of GGB. “Our management team has had decades of experience working closely with developers and operating premium retail stores in their properties. We know this arrangement gives us access to the best locations, foot traffic, and consumers. We look forward to introducing our remarkable retail experience and line of CBD products to Simon shoppers in the near future.”
Simon is the largest shopping mall operator in the United States1, and its high-profile properties include Roosevelt Field in metro New York; The Galleria in Houston, TX; and Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley, NY. The expansive nature of the relationship with Simon makes it the first of its kind in the CBD industry and will give GGB access to entire markets of new customers at many of the nation’s most productive retail locations.
GGB Beauty also recently announced a licensing agreement with Authentic Brands Group to develop a line of CBD infused personal care products. The Company will be working with Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) as the preferred supplier of the CBD ingredients to be used in these products.
Tilray also recently entered into a marketing agreement with Authentic Brands Group to market and distribute a portfolio of consumer cannabis products within Authentic’s brand portfolio, in jurisdictions where regulations permit.
Tilray, Inc. is expected to release fourth-quarter 2018 results February 12th at the close. In the last reported quarter, Tilray beat earnings expectations by 42.9% after going public in July 2018.
Aurora beat earnings estimates reporting on its financials for the second quarter ended December 31, 2018. The report was positive with a net revenue of $54.2 million, up 83% sequentially, and up 363% compared to the same period in 2018, driven by Aurora’s strong performance in the launch of the Canadian consumer market with sales of $21.6 million, and the Company’s continued strength in the Canadian and international medical markets with sales of $26.0 million, up 8% in revenue and 23% in volume sold.
Aurora Cannabis Inc.(NYSE:ACB) (TSX:ACB.TO) has been strategically expanding its international footprint from day one, and the company has now announced that it completed its first commercial export of cannabis oil to the United Kingdom and the product has been successfully dispensed from a pharmacy.
Competitor company, Canopy Growth (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED.TO) is also expected to release their quarterly results this week on Thursday, Feb 14th. Canopy made headlines in mid-January with news that it had been granted a license by New York State to process and produce hemp.
Canopy says it will establish within the Hemp Industrial Park, large-scale production capabilities focused on hemp extraction and product manufacturing within the United States.
They also said, “Depending on Board approval of a specific site, Canopy Growth intends to invest between $100 million USD and $150 million USD in its New York operations, capable of producing tons of hemp extract on an annual basis.”
New Frontier Data just reported that in 2018, the global hemp market reached $3.74 billion in retail sales, with an annual growth rate of 15% and by 2020, off a 4-year CAGR of 20%, the global market projects to $5.73 billion.
Deals like GGB’s with Simon or Tilray’s with AGB are fast becoming the norm as perception around cannabis and hemp changes. As this industry continues to expand, it’s only a matter of time before the whole world is high on their supply.

Precision Extraction Solutions Named Exclusive Equipment Supplier of Canapar S.r.L.
DETROIT, Feb. 12, 2019 — Precision Extraction Solutions (“Precision”), a market leader in cannabis and hemp extraction technology, has been named the exclusive equipment supplier of Canapar S.r.L. (“Canapar”) for the development and outfitting of its flagship extraction facility in Sicily, Italy.
On the heels of a $25 million CAD ($20 million USD) round of financing, that included a lead investment by Canopy Rivers Inc (TSXV: RIV), the corporate venture capital platform of Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED, NYSE: CGC), a global leader in the cannabis sector, Canapar engaged Precision for the design and manufacturing of an industrial scale hemp extraction plant.
“The KPD series extraction plant represents the newest and most innovative extraction technology in the marketplace. We are excited to see this revolutionary and automated cGMP solution at Canapar’s state-of-the-art facility,” states Nick Tennant, CTO of Precision.
The Precision® KPD Series is a scalable solution for industrial and agri-processing demands ranging from 2,200 lbs (1,000 kilograms) of cannabis or hemp input material per day to more than 100,000+ lbs per day.
Canapar’s Ragusa, Sicily facility, outfitted with a KPD series extraction plant, is expected to produce CBD extracts and isolate, which will then be used for a wide range of health and beauty, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and veterinary products.
“We chose Precision as our extraction technology partner because they are the most recognized and innovative extraction equipment company in the world. They are assisting us in all aspects of the project from facility design to equipment and training. With Precision’s help, the aim is to optimize the extraction process for the production of the world’s finest CBD isolate for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical market,” said Sergio Martines, CEO of Canapar.
The cGMP-compliant Ragusa facility is initially expected to be able to process over 600 tons of hemp biomass per year, making it the largest extraction facility in the European Union. With Precision’s assistance, Canapar is planning on scaling its operation within the next 12-18 months to keep up with projected demand.
According to Marc Beginin, CEO of Precision, “We are thrilled to be working with the professionals at Canapar. Canapar is poised to be the leading CBD isolate provider in Europe. They asked us to produce a scalable extraction plant with speed-to-market top of mind. Our team will be ready to deliver the first phase in Sicily this summer.”
The market for hemp extraction solutions to produce CBD isolate is growing rapidly. “Indeed, the market is robust,” says Beginin, “with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill in the US, and increased legality of hemp-derived products worldwide, it is estimated that the market for hemp extracts will grow to $22 billion by 2020.”

The cannabis oil sales license allows the Company to significantly expand its product lines for medical cannabis patients and adult-use consumers. ABcann’s high-quality oil products are expected to be a core component of the Beacon Medical™ and Lumina™ brands, in addition to the cannabis oil already offered by the Company’s Canna Farms™ brand.

The CO-2 extracted oils will feature a pharmaceutical-grade MCT carrier and are expected to be sold in a 20 mL format with a graduated dropper and syringe to make dosing precise and easy. Initial concentrations are expected to be in the 20-25 mg/mL range for THC and CBD products, and 10 mg/mL each of THC and CBD for the balanced products.
Mr. Fishman stated, “We remain committed to providing patients and consumers with safe and effective products that address their health and wellness goals and improve their quality of life. The addition of cannabis oil products to our Beacon Medical™ and Lumina™ brands is an important step towards a complete portfolio of patient and consumer-centric products and treatments.”
