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 private and public company announcements.
Trulieve
Cannabis Corp. (CSE:
TRUL) (OTCQX:
TCNNF), a leading and top-performing cannabis company in the
United States, announced that it
will soon begin offering edible cannabis products to patients in Florida.
Following finalized regulations from the Florida Department of Health for the
sale of edible cannabis products and approval of its products, Trulieve will
introduce edibles in its medical cannabis dispensaries across the state,
expanding patient access to the types of products they have been requesting for
years.
Trulieve has planned for the debut
of edibles and, with the final guidelines in place from the Department of
Health (DOH), once its products are approved by the DOH, will be able to
introduce an exciting assortment of edible products.
In preparation for edibles rollout,
Trulieve built out a 10,000 sq. ft. commercial-grade kitchen at its production
facility in Quincy, FL, where Trulieve's skilled production team will produce
initial products as well as test and develop new offerings. In addition to its
branded product line, Trulieve has partnered with specialty edible brand
partners Binske, Bhang, District Edibles and Love's Oven to expand its edible
offerings to include cookies, brownies, and other products for Trulieve
customers.
"Similar to what we saw when
flower was introduced in 2019, we expect that edibles will contribute to a
sizable share of overall sales," said Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve.
"We know the demand is there, as we have been hearing from our customers
for some time now. To meet that pending demand, Trulieve was the first in the
Florida market to introduce ingestible products. We started with capsules and
extended to other forms, such as TruPowder in January, follow-on flavored
options just this month, and TruTincture Drops, which are similar to lozenges.
We are glad to finally be able to offer edibles as yet another option for
medical cannabis patients across Florida."
Rivers added, "We believe we
are well-positioned to meet the expected market demand for edibles, and believe
we are the only cannabis company in the state that can serve this variety
across 56 stores with not only our own Trulieve branded edibles, but also
robust product lines from partner brands."
Trulieve continues to build on
strong expansion and financial growth, recently reporting Q2 2020 revenue of
$120.8M and opening its 57th dispensary this week in Florida to serve nearly
400,000 patients in the state. Deemed an essential business, the company has
continued to operate throughout COVID-19 and expanded its employee base to meet
increased demand.
Medical
Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:
MJNA), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in
the United States that launched the world's first cannabis-derived
nutraceutical products, brands and supply chain, announced
today that the Company has reached a significant operational
milestone of selling and shipping more than 1.6 billion milligrams of hemp-based
cannabidiol (CBD) since 2017.
The Company’s milestone comes at a
time when e-commerce CBD sales have seen a sharp increase as four out of 10 CBD
consumers plan to use CBD oil more frequently during the COVID-19 pandemic and
15 percent of those consumers plan on using a higher dose of CBD than usual.
“For a decade, our Company has
offered the highest potency CBD product in an oral applicator form through our
flagship product, Real Scientific Hemp Oil™. We’ve seen international media
coverage of our customers having positive experiences with our products for
over half of a decade,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus.
“Many products on the market today use isolate forms of CBD, or contain no CBD
at all, marketing themselves as ‘hemp oil.’ While we are glad to have such high
demand for CBD products, we’re also proud to remain one of the highest quality
CBD oils on the market.”
As one of the pioneers of the
American hemp CBD industry, Medical Marijuana, Inc. has advocated for the compound
for over a decade and the Company’s products have remained popular among
consumers as mass awareness of CBD rapidly increases. Today, over 62 percent of
Americans recognize CBD and/or CBD products and about 33 percent of Americans
have used CBD at least once.
“We continue to believe in a world
where CBD and other cannabinoid-based products are a part of the general
population’s everyday wellness routine,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. COO Blake
Schroeder. “While many new companies enter the hemp CBD space, our portfolio of
companies was the first to legally offer CBD products derived from industrial
hemp.”
World
High Life
(OTCQB:
WRHLF) acquired its wholly owned subsidiary, Love Hemp, less
than a year ago, and since securing the London-based CBD company, World High
Life continues to have that decision validated.
In 2020, Love Hemp has enjoyed a breakout year of consistently strong
growth, and the company recently
announced that it has once again posted impressive numbers, this
time for July 2020.
After reporting record financials in
the first two quarters of 2020 that led to a 107% increase in online sales from
January to May 2020, Love Hemp has continued that success to start the third
quarter. In July, the company reported a
57% growth in sales over corporate sales in June 2020. Additionally, Love Hemp said its online sales
remain significantly higher than pre-COVID-19 levels, which made up 62% of all
of the company’s sales in July compared to the 40% of sales registered in
January 2020.
Love Hemp is spearheading the
development of the United Kingdom’s (UK) leading range of trusted CBD products,
and its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Tony Calamita, said of the continued
growth, “The wellness industry isn't showing any signs of slowing down. What we have witnessed is an increased
consumption of CBD during the pandemic, and we expect this to continue
post-COVID-19.”
In fact, the growth has been so
strong this year that Love Hemp has not only produced impressive sales results
month after month, but it is now expanding its operations to meet overwhelming
consumer demand. World High Life’s
subsidiary has started construction on a new multi-level 13,500-square-foot
facility that will increase production by more than five times its current
output across its entire range of CBD products, including oils, cosmetics, and
capsules.
The company announced that the new
facility, which should be completed in about six months, will increase its
daily on-site production from a limit of about 8,000 units of CBD oils,
cosmetics, and capsules currently, to in excess of, 43,000 units per day when
the project is completed in early 2021.
Love Hemp’s CEO commenting on the
expansion said, “This expansion further increases our capabilities in striving
to exceed customer and consumer requirements while improving storage and
production capabilities, lead times and ensuring the safety of our staff. Our strategy is to continue to expand our
local footprint, contributing to the future growth of our business, while also
providing quality CBD products to our consumers throughout the UK and around
the world.”
Expanding operations to increase
production output comes at just the right time as the company’s sales continue
to explode and as Love Hemp launched two new brands into the market this
year. Love Hemp has over 80 products,
including oils, sprays, edibles, cosmetics, and vapes, and the company
currently enjoys around 1,200 retail listings.
Calamita has always pointed to new product development, which is at the
heart of everything the company does, to stay on top of what consumers are
demanding more of from Love Hemp and the industry in general. “We currently have 15 new products in the
development stage, and we remain committed to creating the UK’s leading range
of trusted CBD products.”
In April, Love Hemp launched Love
Hemp Immune, a blend of CBD,
essential vitamins, including vitamins C and D, and bilberry extract to
maintain a healthy immune system by supporting our body’s natural defenses.
And, then in July, World High Life announced Love Hemp’s new brand, “Buzz
Leaf.”
The Buzz Leaf product line is aimed
at younger consumers that include the release of four broad spectrum CBD
infused e-liquids with added terpenes, and eventually the launch of a full
range of CBD products, including CBD oils and capsules. According to the company, the e-liquids
feature exotic flavors that contain 500mg of CBD.
Sugarbud
Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV:
SUGR) announced that,
as part of the previously announced contract manufacturing agreement, it has
formally started the final development and qualification of its additive-free,
full-spectrum vape cartridges with Heritage
Cannabis Holdings Corp. (CSE:
CANN).
Under the terms of the Agreement,
Heritage will continue to provide Sugarbud with extraction, formulation and
production services for the development of its pre-filled vape cartridges
utilizing proprietary, additive-free formulations.
"Our high quality,
additive-free, full-spectrum vape products contain dried cannabis as the sole
ingredient and are a natural and logical extension of our inhaled product
strategy. Sugarbud vape products will leverage and embody the quality,
consistency, flavour profiles and aromas found in our exceptional craft
cannabis flower," stated Mr. Kondrosky, CEO of Sugarbud.
New cannabis derivative products and
formats such as vape cartridges and pens are a rapidly growing segment of the
Canadian adult-use recreational market and Sugarbud expects that its
high-quality, additive-free vape products will become a significant catalyst
for future growth.
"We are confident that our
partnership with Heritage will equip Sugarbud to deliver high quality products
to consumers with the safety, integrity and exceptional outcomes they
demand," concluded Mr. Kondrosky.
"We are very pleased to be
working with Sugarbud on the production of full-spectrum vape cartridge
products to support its cannabis 2.0 strategy," commented Clint Sharples,
CEO of Heritage. "As Sugarbud's manufacturing partner, Heritage will
produce high-demand, full-spectrum cannabis oil products using no harmful
additives, flavours or carrier oils, and will maintain consistency in the
strain profile between Sugarbud's craft cannabis and the final products."
The Company expects to apply to
Health Canada for an amendment to its sales license to permit the direct sale
of cannabis extracts in early Q4 of 2020.
