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 InvestorIdeas interviews Jason Wilson, the Cannabis Expert for ETFMG, which
offers a full suite of cannabis ETFs for investors, including the first and
largest cannabis-focused ETF: MJ, the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF as well
as MJUS, MJIN and MJXL. Wilson discussed each of these different Cannabis ETFs
in more detail, what trends are being noticed in both the US and the Global
cannabis space as well as which areas of the industry are of most interest to
investors today.
With over 15 years of experience in
the asset management, finance and structured product space, Mr. Wilson has a
track record of bringing hard-to-access asset classes to market. He has held
leadership and senior positions at several leading financial institutions.
Most recently, Jason was Senior Vice
President at INFOR Financial Inc. INFOR is a leading boutique investment bank
based in Toronto, Canada that has worked in connection with a number of
companies in the legal cannabis industry, including acting as advisor to Canopy
Growth Corporation in connection with entering into its strategic relationship
with Constellation Brands. He also worked at the investment banking divisions
of Société Générale, France’s third largest bank, and at CIBC, one of the five
largest banks in Canada.
While at Société Générale and CIBC,
Jason provided asset managers and financial institutions with various capital
raising, financing and risk mitigation solutions and strategies. Jason has an
LLB from the University of Western Ontario. Prior to completing his university
studies, Jason was a member of the Canadian Forces and is a recipient of the
Gulf of Kuwait Medal, awarded for his engagement in direct combat during the
Gulf War in 1991.
When asked about each o ETFMG’s
cannabis ETF’s Wilson commented, “we launched MJ, the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF back in
2017, which was the first US listed cannabis focussed ETF. Since then we’ve
added three more. We have one that focuses just on US operators, which trades
as MJUS, we also have one that provides 2X Upside
Exposure (MJXL) and one that provides 2X Inverve
Exposure (MJIN) to the Global Cannabis Industry. Those
four cannabis focussed ETFs offer investors the full global and domestic
optionality on the cannabis industry.”
When asked about how current
politics continue to affect US stock prices and speculation surrounding the US
cannabis industry, Wilson commented “we’re seeing momentum on the Federal level
stalled, not because of issues of partisanship, but instead mostly on a
disagreement on the level of reform that is necessary. So it’s less a question
of getting enough support from both sides of the aisle to get legalization but
instead how far do some of the social programs go and things of that nature.
That being said, we've still seen a lot of interest in US stocks at a retail
and private equity level.”
Wilson continued, “If you look at
the US MSO’s as an example, we can see that before the election last year some
of their stocks were drifting sideways and down, but having the Democrats
complete the full sweep really brought a lot of optimism to the space and saw
their prices rally very strongly, really until February or March. Then the big
expectation was that this was the first time we would see a Cannabis Reform
bill tabled in the Senate. To have Schumer bring out the COA kind of took the wind out of the sails
because his draft bill wasn't really even so much a draft bill as it was a
talking paper and beyond that, was so overreaching and extensive that it was
dead on arrival. One of the more difficult things from the Republican side was
the 25% Federal Excise tax. That was the first pin prick in the cannabis
balloon and you’ve seen stocks represent that since then. We have seen other
pieces of legislation proposed, for instance from Nancy Mace, which was a very sensible piece of
legislation. The push and pull isn’t between Democrats and Republicans as per
weather or not cannabis should be legalized, but instead the push and pull is
between how extensive is the reform and right now you have the Senate Majority
Leader pushing for very extensive reform, so much so that you’re not going to
get those extra Republican seats necessary to drive any legislation forward.”
Wilson went on to discuss some of
the current trends being noticed and how these differ in both the domestic US
market and Global cannabis space as well as what he expects to have the largest
impact on the industry over the next few months.

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 InvestorIdeas interviews Pankaj Gogia, CEO of Psychedelic
Water, the first legal psychedelic, mood-boosting, hangover-free fun that has
recently been featured in Inside Hook, Yahoo!, VICE, Business Insider, Financial Post. According to many
testimonials the writer "drank the 'psychedelic water' going viral on
TikTok, and I felt my anxiety melt away." Gogia went on to discuss how
Psychedelic Water came to be, being a pioneer in the Psychedelic space, as well
as how he sees this industry and his company evolving as people’s understanding
and comfort level with Psychedelics continues to change.
Discussing the company’s start,
Gogia commented, “We launched in the US in early 2021 and since then we have
seen massive traction and curiosity. In a period of roughly 10 months we have
had over 40,000 customers and over 12 million views on Tik Tok.”
When asked what factors lead to the
company’s early success and brand traction Gogia commented, “I think the
reality is that we sort of hit a nerve as there is definitely a curiosity
around what’s going on with Psychedelics. I think our name, Psychedelic Water,
I think that by itself is probably the number one factor. I think second is our
packaging and the can. What we have built out there is extremely unique, a
holographic can, and was an extremely hard process to get there. I think
between those two factors, a lot of our marketing has been very organic to be
honest. Consumers love the product and that’s where a lot of our success got
started.”
Psychedelic Water works because it
is the world's first legal psychedelic blend of kava root, damiana leaf, and
green tea leaf extract for an experience like no other. The innovators behind
this global psychedelic experience sold out their first production run and are
rapidly expanding into retail stores nationwide.
When asked about how the company is
looking to expand their product offerings in the future, Gogia went on to say,
“As we started to build out this company what we really wanted to do was build
a brand. We have trademarks with Psychedelic Water and are looking at getting
other trademarks applied to different categories such as Coffee, Tea, Cookies,
etc. What you can expect from our company is a stew of products in the upcoming
years as we grow with success. In terms of formulation as we looked at coming
to market, we saw that a lot of the companies were focussed on Psychedelics in
a more traditional sense, more in Pharma and the Scientific side, but nobody
was looking from a CPG perspective and that’s where we came up with the
concept. What we wanted to do was bring a product to market that was real, so
it does have a psychoactive effect, but is legal, so that’s how we landed on
our current ingredients. We will be adding other ingredients that could have
similar impact but are legal in nature and as and when legalization happens and
continues, we will look at adding more products that contain more traditional
Psychedelics.”
Gogia continued, “It’s been a real
journey for us to normalize Psychedelics into the community. I think we are
creating a new curiosity and removing any sort of stigmas associated with
Psychedelics by having it become more normal and casual.”
Gogia went on to discuss how some in
the Psychedelic community and industry have reacted to the product so far, how
he sees the company evolving moving forward as well as the impact psychedelics
could have on society as they continue to become more normalized.
Psychedelic Water, which just
launched earlier this year, made over $1 million in sales over its first few
months. In addition to being available at www.psychedelicwater.com,
you can now find it on Amazon and in stores around the country.

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 Investorideas interviews Becky
Postar, the COO of HDCS (Higher-Risk
Deposit Compliance Solutions), where we discussed the recent move from JP
Morgan to no longer trade in OTC Cannabis stocks, industry banking compliance
today and how it is evolving as well as how banking for the cannabis sector is
expected to evolve and expand with growing demand and regulatory changes.
Becky
is a veteran banking officer of 20 years who has extensive experience in
business development, lending, and compliance training for multiple banks. She
has deep domain expertise in BSA, AML, KYC and the evolving cannabis
regulations.
When
asked about HDCS as well as her background in the industry Postar commented,
“HDCS is a full-service boutique consulting company. Our clients are financial institutions that
either are banking higher risk industries (primarily cannabis and crypto) or
want us to assist with the implantation of a higher-risk compliance program. We
are passionate about guiding financial institutions through the processes of
implementing a risk-focused compliance banking program, including the beginning
steps of research, to implementation and supporting the financial institution
through regulatory examinations, and not just depository services but lending
as well.”
Postar
continued, “I am the COO of HDCS and I am a veteran banker with over 20 years
of experience including both community and big banks with experience in
internal audit, creating and implementing training programs, commercial credit
underwriting and commercial lending. Most recently, I moved into cannabis
banking and have become a subject matter expert in the cannabis industry
specifically around laws, regulations and legislation.”
When
asked about how the recent announcement from JP Morgan has affected HDCS and if
there has been any positives or negatives as far as attracting new clients,
Becky commented, “Uhm, a little bit of both. This could mean even less FIs are
entering the cannabis space but it does solidify why an FI would want to look
into hiring a consulting firm like mine. I am zero % surprised by the
announcement and here is why: This is a net new industry. We do not have the long-term data that we
have on other industries that spans over decades. Some are saying we are
approaching a bubble, not only in the US but another one in Canada, so the
timing for the announcement from JPMorgan is not surprising.”
Becky
continued discussing some of the larger risks and issues facing the cannabis
industry today such as , “Not a lot of large institutions welcome cannabis
related businesses and for most CRBs companies they find it difficult to find
companies willing to work with CRB and when they do, the pricing is much
higher. For example: crop insurance, 401(k) plans and other benefits for their
employees, Armored car services and additional expenses on security and
competing against the black market.”
The
discussion of Federal legislative change continues to hang over the industry,
and in regards to realistic expectations Postar commented, “with the changes in
the Senate as a result of the last election, I thought we would see banking
reform. The SAFE Banking Act of 2021 has bipartisan support to pass, but key
Democrats won’t release it to let it have its time on the floor because they
are demanding broader reform. Most
Americans support reform, but it is going to take some more work to get key
Republicans on board. And how can we do
that? We could start by passing the
research bills that are in Congress and banking reform. Look at alcohol
prohibition, change doesn’t happen overnight so we should pass what we can pass
while working on broader reform.”
Postar
continued, “I mentioned earlier that there will always be a banking shortage
for the cannabis industry, and here’s where we sit today according to the FinCEN Marijuana Banking Update date June
30, 2021: 706 financial institutions filed Marijuana
Related SARs comprised of 518 Banks and 188 Credit Unions with 202,734 total
SARs filed. You compare that to June 30, 2017 with 318 Banks and 50 Credit
Unions and 28,651 total SARs filed. It is safe to say less than 700 financial
institutions have active cannabis banking programs as some of these over
200,000 filings are “Termination” SARs from financial institutions that do not
wish to bank the industry. Me and others in the industry believe this number to
be closer to 200 or less.”
Becky
went on to discuss some of the current banking compliance issues facing the
industry today and how she sees changes on the horizon as well as HDCS’s recent
webinars on the cannabis industry and what many clients are looking for
guidance on.
