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.
Planet 13 Holdings
Inc. (CSE:PLTH) (OTCQB:PLNHF), a leading vertically-integrated
Nevada cannabis company, welcomes recently passed bill 341 allowing
existing licensed dispensaries to operate a consumption lounge co-located with
the dispensary. Planet 13 has reserved an expansive dedicated space within the
Las Vegas SuperStore for a consumption lounge which it will look to get built
as soon as possible.
"We
are thrilled that after the long wait, Nevada will finally be home to
consumption lounges. We've long believed that tourists needed a safe, legal,
and enjoyable place to consume cannabis and have been planning for a
consumption lounge at the SuperStore since the bill was originally proposed two
years ago," said Bob Groesbeck Co-CEO of Planet 13. "Our SuperStore
is one of the only dispensaries with the space on site and the proximity to the
Las Vegas Strip to create a truly Vegas style club. As with the rest of our
dispensary we look forward to setting the bar and showing the industry what is
possible when your goal is to Out Vegas, Vegas."
Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON), an innovative global cannabinoid
company, and Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc. (“Ginkgo”), which is building the leading
horizontal platform for cell programming, today announced an amended collaboration and
license agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) that will enable the companies to
accelerate the commercialization of cultured cannabinoids at scale.
The
Amended Agreement with Ginkgo will enable Cronos Group to commercialize
products using cultured cannabinoids ahead of reaching the originally stated
productivity targets, while maintaining the incentives to continue to develop
towards and achieve the previously agreed upon efficiency and cost goals. This
approach is expected to facilitate Cronos Group’s cultured cannabinoid products
being first to market in Canada, which will drive significant market knowledge
and consumer insights that are expected to help deliver future novel and
innovative consumer-driven products. Cronos Group expects that the final
productivity target for CBG will be achieved prior to September 2021, as
previously announced.
The
Amended Agreement follows the receipt of Cronos Fermentation’s processing
license in April 2021, and most recently the receipt of its CRA license. With
the Amended Agreement and both licenses in hand, Cronos Fermentation commenced
commercial production of CBG today. Cronos Group is prioritizing rare cannabinoids,
such as CBG, and plans to sequence commercial production and subsequent product
launches based on this approach.
“Beginning
commercial production demonstrates the significant progress underway with our
Ginkgo partnership and the competitive benefits we see in being first to market
with innovative consumer products,” said Kurt Schmidt, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Cronos Group. “Cannabis holds many unique compounds with a
wide range of potential use cases and benefits. By leveraging Ginkgo’s research
platform and our fermentation manufacturing capabilities, we believe we have
disruptive technology that can deliver rare cannabinoids at scale and elevate
the consumer experience.”
“Biological
manufacturing is unlocking access to important cannabinoids that can be scaled
up and produced reliably, consistently and economically,” said, Jason Kelly,
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Ginkgo. “We look forward to
continuing our work with Cronos to facilitate innovation bringing this powerful
technology to the cannabis industry.”
Goodleaf
Company,
the leading cannabis brand in South Africa, has merged with Highlands Investments, formerly Canopy Growth Africa, in a deal
valued at almost $50million. The transaction has resulted in the largest
vertically integrated cannabis operation in Africa, with an investment in
excess of $25million to date.
"We are delighted to conclude
this merger, and in doing so create Africa's first truly seed-to-sale
offering," says Warren Schewitz, Founder and CEO of Goodleaf. "It's
always been our intention to create a world-class global brand, and as we scale,
access to high-quality supply is essential, which Highlands affords."
"This transaction brings
together two of the biggest cannabis players in Africa," says Jody
Aufrichtig, Founder - Highlands Investments. "Highlands is the first ISO
22000 grade cannabis producer in Africa, the quality of our product is
world-class, this combined offering will enable us to make significant inroads
globally, because we can compete both on quality and price."
Goodleaf, a premium CBD brand, has
commercialized a portfolio of 30 products in multiple categories, and has well
established distribution lines through retail stores, online, wholesale, and
coffee shops in South Africa. Goodleaf's products will soon be exported to
retailers in Asia and Europe.
"Consumers are demanding
quality products with a known origin," says Schewitz. "Lesotho's
pristine growing environment, combined with Highlands commitment to GACP
("Good Agricultural and Collection Practices") and ISO 22000
standards, ensures access to a reliable, certified high-quality supply."
Highlands has a track record of
producing premium CBD flower. In April 2021 it concluded its fourth harvest in
Lesotho, the outdoor harvest yielded almost six tonnes of premium cannabis; a
significant portion is destined for the European medical cannabis market.
Highlands will continue to supply bulk CBD and THC flower, distillate and
isolate to global medical and wellness markets.
"This is a transformational
transaction for Goodleaf as we have diversified our business into a fully
seed-to-sale offering, strengthening our leadership position in the South
African cannabis market. It provides a low cost production base for our product
range as we expand into global markets," Schewitz concludes.
Under terms of the transaction,
Highlands' shareholders will have 35% shareholding in the merged entity, with
Goodleaf being the majority shareholder at 65%. The merged entity will continue
to trade as Goodleaf and Highlands Investments.
The
Valens Company Inc. (TSX: VLNS) (OTCQX: VLNCF), a leading manufacturer of cannabis products, announced that it has launched several new
products in partnership with Verse Cannabis in the flower, pre-roll,
concentrates, and edibles categories. With the continued launch of
next-generation, high quality cannabis products across various categories,
Valens continues to partner with Verse to further its mission to provide all
Canadians with best-in-class formulations in innovative formats at value price
points.
The new products launched under the
Verse Originals line include BC God Bud Flower, Dreamweaver Pre-Rolls and Amp
Pre-Roll, in addition to the Double Chocolate Brownie – one of the first
confectionery products of its kind to hit the Canadian recreational market.
Additionally, the newly launched Killer Kush Live Terp Vape Cartridge and Hash
will be available as part of the Verse Concentrates offering. The launch of
these new products marks Valens' entry into the flower and pre-roll categories,
an offering expansion at the request of its customer base which is represented
by many leading cannabis companies in the country. Additionally, the Company
has expanded its concentrates product offering in the market to include hash
and live terp vape cartridges.
"With these new additions to
the Verse Originals and Verse Concentrates lines, Valens now has products
across all cannabis categories in the Canadian recreational market," said
Tyler Robson, Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder and Chair of The Valens
Company. "With our proven ability to create innovative products across all
categories, we have not only increased our total addressable market in Canada,
but now hold the capability to increase partnership opportunities with our
enhanced product offering, reach more consumers with our expanded distribution
network, and elevate both the quality and value of products in the Canadian
market today."

Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, and coming to Ontario in
the third quarter of 2021.
Amp

Carefully milled, mixed and packed
for an enjoyable steady burn, the 1g Amp Pre-Roll contains a uniquely curated
blend of complementary strains with an energetic, intense and vibrant
flavouring. Each pre-roll is machine slim-rolled using proprietary technology
containing moisture sensors and a weight system to ensure product consistency,
size and shape within the manufacturing process. Packaged in a convenient,
reusable flip top single package, the Amp Pre-Roll is expected to be available

Originals line, the Double Chocolate Brownie. Infused with a decadent chocolate
ganache and expertly crafted by the team at LYF Food Technologies, the 1-unit x
10mg Double Chocolate Brownie is one of the first confectionery products of its

created with traditional techniques to ensure exceptional quality and
remarkable consistency in the manufacturing process.
Killer
Kush Live Terp Vape Cartridge
The first to launch in a series of
Live Terp products from Verse Concentrates, the Killer Kush Live Terp Vape
Cartridge is curated using a specialized method of CO2 extraction to carefully
remove the complete terpene rich profile of fresh, flash-frozen ultra-premium
and BC sun grown Killer Kush cannabis. Through this process, the fresh live
terpene and cannabis profile of the strain is maximized, translating the
essence of the living plant into an extract comprised of exotic notes and deep
profiles. Now available in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, the
Killer Kush Live Terp Vape Cartridge is expected to be coming soon to Ontario,
Manitoba and New Brunswick.
Hash
With a dense but pliable
consistency, Verse Hash contains a unique mix of terpenes that deliver a bold
nose of earthy, pine with light peppery undernotes. Verse Hash is offered in a
convenient 2g format packaged in a resealable pouch for freshness, and is
expected to be available in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan in the
coming weeks.
