Today's podcast overview/transcript
Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of
Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch
as well as insights from thought leaders and experts
In
today’s podcast we look at a few early announcements.
Flower One Holdings
Inc. (CSE: FONE) (OTCQX: FLOOF), announced the official, operational launch of its
technologically advanced cannabis production lab which will operate alongside
the Company's 400,000 square-foot greenhouse.
The
new production space encompasses approximately 55,000 square feet and can
readily consume between 3,000 – 5,000 pounds of biomass per week – with
distillate processing from its ethanol extraction train in the 100-150 liter
per week range. Today's announcement enhances Flower One's ability to generate
product from its more than 140,000 pounds (62,500 kg) of dry cannabis flower
and trim expected annually from the greenhouse.
Thomas
Rosengren, Director of Extraction & Production reported: "The Launch
of Flower One's bulk distillate process train has been a resounding success –
with early lot potencies already testing in the 90%+ range."
Flower
One's production lab has been intentionally designed for large-scale product
fulfillment. By leveraging multiple extraction methods – namely ethanol, LPG,
and CO2 – that run in parallel, Flower One has access to three
upstream extraction channels, granting it the flexibility to leverage the
specific extraction techniques needed to produce a wide range of cannabis
products. Beyond extraction, the lab will engage in refinement, compounding,
and commercial-kitchen-related activities, including ongoing optimization via
data-driven continuous improvement processes.
"The
product and test results coming out of the lab mark another huge milestone for
Flower One and our ability to produce premium quality cannabis products"
said Kellen O'Keefe, Chief Strategy Officer at Flower One. "Flower One is
thrilled to bring some of the nation's leading cannabis brands to Nevada's
retailers and consumers," he added.
Valens GroWorks
Corp. (TSXV: VGW) (OTC: VGWCF) announced that it has entered into an agreement to
supply cannabis oil derivative products to Medical Cannabis by Shoppers, the
online medical cannabis ecommerce site of one of Canada's most trusted pharmacy
retailers.
Valens
will utilize their five different types of extraction services including CO2,
Ethanol, Hydrocarbon, Solvent-less, and Terpene extraction as well as its IP
and formulation services to create a variety of innovate oil-based products for
Shoppers' medical platform. Under the agreement, Valens will immediately begin
production of gel caps and tinctures with further expansion of product
offerings to include vaporizer cartridges, topicals and other desired products
as permitted for sale by Health Canada regulations.
"Valens
is proud to be chosen as the first third party extraction and product development
company to supply cannabis oil products to one of the most recognized pharmacy
retailers in Canada." said Tyler Robson, CEO of Valens. "Shoppers
Drug Mart is a highly respected, trusted brand that consistently delivers
premium products that patients can trust.
Our industry leading extraction, analytical testing and product
formulation capabilities are ideally positioned to deliver the high quality,
oil-based products and services expected from such a reputable industry leader
such as Shoppers. This new partnership
will advance our product development portfolio as we continue to enhance our
capabilities and increase our market presence."
Nextleaf Solutions
Ltd. (CSE: OILS) (OTCQB: OILFF) announced entering into an exclusive supply
agreement with BevCanna Enterprises Inc., an emerging leader in cannabis
infused beverages, based in BC, Canada.
Nextleaf
has granted exclusive license to BevCanna for the use of intellectual property
related to water-soluble cannabinoids for the development, manufacturing and
sale of BevCanna products. This will include BevCanna's portfolio of house
brands, and white label products developed by BevCanna for third parties.
Performance
milestones include commercialization within 12 months of the legalization of
infused products and edibles in Canada. The initial term of the agreement
extends for 3 years after the legalization of infused products, and subsequent
5-year renewal period.
"BevCanna has a world-class bottling
plant on a spring water aquifer, its one of the most unique licensed production
facilities in Canada," said Paul Pedersen, Nextleaf CEO. "The
BevCanna team brings a tremendous amount of experience in creating iconic
beverage brands and consumer packaged goods, such as Mike's Hard Lemonade,
Vega, and Trace Beverages. BevCanna is a great example of the caliber of
partner we want to commercialize our IP through." stated Pedersen.
BevCanna
has recently shared two of its intended brands for commercialization in Canada,
including Anarchist Mountain Beverages, a line of THC infused sparkling spring
water beverages with botanical flavor profiles inspired by the Pacific
Northwest. Additionally, Gruv, a line of easy-drinking iced tea beverages, with
a blend of THC and CBD.
"We
are very pleased to leverage Nextleaf's technology within our formulations, as
they have a proven reputation for unique and differentiated IP," shared
Emma Andrews, Chief Commercialization Officer at BevCanna. "Their patented
extraction and purification process will allow our beverages to be made with
odorless, tasteless cannabinoids, resulting in a superior taste and consumption
experience. A natural compliment to our premium spring water base. We believe
taste and reliability will be essential to growing this category." Andrews
said.
Through
the Standard Processing License announced last week for Nextleaf Labs, and
under BevCanna's recently issued Research License, product development
activities will take a significant step forwards, including stability
validation, sensory evaluation, and equipment testing, in preparation for
scale-up towards full commercialization.
Santé
Cannabis, a pioneer in
medical cannabis in Québec, has partnered with Spectrum Therapeutics, the
medical division of Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) to launch the Prescriber Training
Program, designed to aid physicians and patients, announced today at the new Santé Cannabis clinic and
research centre in Montréal.
This new initiative developed by Santé
Cannabis equips physicians with the most up-to-date clinical guidelines,
support networks, online and in-person training opportunities so they can
prescribe and monitor cannabinoid treatment plans with confidence. The program
will be offered for free to Québec physicians and is made possible by an
unrestricted educational grant from Spectrum Therapeutics.
"Patient referrals and training
requests from our physician colleagues have increased by more than 500 per cent
over the last year," says Dr. Michael Dworkind, Medical Director of Santé
Cannabis and McGill University Associate Professor of Family Medicine. "It
is our duty as physicians to understand the available treatment options for our
patients, and medical cannabis treatments have emerged as an important clinical
tool. In this program, we extend our experience and expertise to healthcare
professionals, in order to support them to meet the needs of their patients."
The Prescriber Training Program is designed
by clinicians for clinicians, and gives a unique, practical approach to medical
cannabis learning. It provides participating physicians with:
●
Self-learning
modules that detail treatment evidence for specific conditions and symptoms;
●
Ongoing
personalized phone support for questions about medical cannabis and patient
care;
●
Clinical
preceptorship opportunities at four Santé Cannabis locations across Québec;
●
Practical
reference guidebook on developing and managing treatment plans and dosing; and
●
Clinical
toolkits to help navigate patient assessment and follow-ups.
"A significant issue preventing the
consideration of cannabinoid medicine by healthcare professionals is that the
topic is not typically included in the medical school curriculum,"
comments Dr. Mark Ware, Chief Medical Officer, Canopy Growth. "We've
invested in a range of training and education initiatives to address this gap
in knowledge, and this new program creates an important resource for Québec
physicians interested in learning how to integrate medical cannabis into their
practice."
As Québec's first and foremost medical
cannabis clinic and research centre, Santé Cannabis has received referrals from
more than 2,500 physicians and assessed over 6,000 patients since 2014, while
also providing information sessions for patients and healthcare professionals.
Spectrum Therapeutics' track record with providing industry-leading education,
resources and support for healthcare professionals includes:
●
Evidence-based
educational courses in Canada that have been delivered to thousands of
physicians, nurses, and pharmacists, including accredited medical education
programs through the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy
(CCCEP)
●
A
first-of-its-kind Catalyst Peer Mentorship Program, which links physicians from
across Canada with colleagues who possess advanced knowledge of the cannabis
field in order to provide case-by-case support.
●
71,000+
interactions with healthcare professionals
Today,
Syqe Medical, Ltd. and TerrAscend Corp. (CSE: TER) (OTCQX: TRSSF) announced an exclusive distribution agreement to
bring Syqe's flagship product, the Syqe™ Inhaler, to the Canadian market.
Backed by rigorous clinical trials, the Syqe Inhaler is the world's first
metered-dose medical cannabis inhaler to provide predictable, precise and
consistent treatment at pharmaceutical standards. Syqe first debuted its
product to the Israeli market in June 2019, and through TerrAscend is bringing
its breakthrough technology to the Canadian market to ease the suffering of
patients dealing with chronic conditions.
"Syqe's
goal since inception has been to bring relief to as many patients as possible
in the fastest possible way, and we spent eight years developing the Syqe
Inhaler to ensure that when introduced, it would make a significant positive
impact on patients' lives," says Perry Davidson, Syqe CEO and Founder.
"We have been searching for a partner that is truly focused on the medical
side of cannabis. We are thrilled to be working with TerrAscend to share our
groundbreaking technology with a progressive market at the forefront of medical
cannabis treatment."
TerrAscend,
through its wholly owned subsidiaries TerrAscend Canada and Solace Health
Network, will lead marketing, distribution and sales efforts across Canada.
Through Solace Health's patient-centric online platform and medical coverage
assistance, as well as its wide network of medical professionals, TerrAscend is
uniquely positioned for success with the Syqe treatment in the Canadian medical
cannabis market.
As
part of the agreement, TerrAscend will utilize their platform to both provide
high quality guidance to patients on use of the Syqe device and educate the
medical community on the benefits of medical cannabis and the Syqe treatment.
"We've
seen time and again the deficiencies of current drug delivery devices – whether
it be dosage inconsistencies or side effects – and recognize that the industry
is ready to be disrupted," says Michael Nashat, TerrAscend's CEO.
"Syqe's device is on the cutting edge of drug delivery technology, and we
are excited to facilitate their entry into the Canadian medical cannabis
market, as there is a real need for a new approach to an age-old
problem."
Syqe's
entrance into the Canadian market comes at an opportune time, with patient
treatment primed for improvement. A 2018 Health Canada survey shows that 71% of
Canadians using medical cannabis consume it in dried flower or leaf form. The
Syqe inhaler provides an effective alternative that ensures precise dosing for
cannabis delivered by inhalation, while eliminating the hazards of smoking.
