Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
Good
morning and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com “potcasts”, looking
at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and
experts.
Today’s
podcast begins with an introduction of myself, Taylor Van Zant the host of our
“potcasts” and after that I focus on a few early announcements from a few
interesting companies.
Khiron Life
Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN), (OTCQB: KHRNF), an integrated cannabis company with its
core operations in Latin America, announced today that the Company has signed an LOI with
Copservir Ltda., Colombia's largest pharmacy chain, to distribute Khiron's
medical cannabis products across the country. The companies have agreed to
initial discounting and commercial fees and will work towards establishing a
definitive commercial contract and detailed distribution plan to begin sales in
the second half of 2019.
As
Colombia's largest pharmacy chain, Copservir Ltda., operates over 900 stores
across 200 cities and municipalities with a traditional brick and mortar
presence representing 75% of its CAD 500 Million / year sales. In addition, a
growing virtual presence represents 25% of its sales with an annual growth rate
of over 20%. The company combines its retail and virtual presence with a strong
distribution and logistics platform with four distribution centres in the main
cities of Colombia and a home delivery service in 120 cities. This makes the
Colombian Government-administered company the largest by store-count pharmacy
chain in the country.
On
completion of the agreement, Khiron will have established a compliant and
secure distribution platform for its medical products across Colombia, starting
with its custom-made pharmacy compound strategy. Copservir's extensive
brick-and-mortar presence, virtual channel and distribution capability will
allow Khiron to offer patients across the country the option for pick-up or
home delivery of their medical cannabis formulations. Coupled with Khiron's
ongoing medical education platform to educate and engage doctors and physicians
across the country, this distribution strategy will allow Khiron to reach more
patients in a safe, compliant and innovative matter.
Alvaro
Torres, Khiron CEO and Director commented, "The proposed agreement with
Copservir Ltda. represents a significant development for Khiron, offering the
opportunity to leverage our first mover advantage to distribute medical
cannabis products across Colombia and service the more than 5 million potential
patients in the country. We also view Copservir entering the medical cannabis
market as a milestone validation of the market opportunity in Colombia. By
offering a platform that makes it easier for patients to access their
formulations in a compliant and safe manner, Khiron establishes a leadership
position in the medical cannabis market in Colombia."
The
companies will work towards establishing definite commercial and distribution
agreements to begin sales in the second half of 2019.
High
Tide Inc. (CSE:HITI) (OTCQB:HITIF), an Alberta-based, retail-focused
cannabis corporation enhanced by the manufacturing and wholesale distribution
of smoking accessories and cannabis lifestyle products, announced that on Friday, April 26, 2019 the Alcohol
and Gaming Commission of Ontario ("AGCO") approved and issued a
Retail Operator Licence to High Tide's counterparty Dana Michele Kendal for the
Canna Cabana Toronto store. A Retail
Store Authorization will also be required to be issued by the AGCO for the
Winner to finalize the set-up of the Toronto Store. The Winner is aiming to
open Canna Cabana Toronto on or before June 1, 2019.
The Toronto Store is expected to be highest
profile Canna Cabana-branded location in Canada. "From originally being
selected by the Winner to help establish the Toronto Store, to achieving this
important milestone part-way through the process, we are growing very keen to
open this shop near the intersection of Yonge Street and College Street,"
said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. "High
Tide's best efforts are being put toward this project and we look forward to
the privilege of the Toronto Store becoming a part of the surrounding community
for the long term," added Mr. Grover.
Prior to opening the Toronto Store, the AGCO will conduct a pre-opening
inspection to ensure that the Winner is ready to sell cannabis products to the
public in accordance with the regulations and standards for cannabis retail
stores.
Zenabis Global Inc.
(TSXV:
ZENA) (OTC:ZBISF) announced that it has entered into a binding term
sheet for a three-year supply arrangement with leading German pharmaceutical
research company Farmako GmbH for: (1) the supply of biosynthetically produced
pure CBD isolate oil (99.9%) from Farmako to Zenabis for sale in Canada; and
(2) the supply of European Union Good Manufacturing Practices certified
cannabis cultivated in Zenabis' indoor facilities in Canada for sale by Farmako
to the German medical market.
Andrew
Grieve, Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis, stated, "While Zenabis is committed to producing both hemp- and
cannabis-derived CBD products, we are thrilled to have signed the very first
commercial agreement globally of its kind for the purchase of biosynthetic
cannabinoids. We are purchasing the CBD
isolates from Farmako at an incredibly low cost, which will allow us to tap
into the rapidly growing Canadian CBD market by supplying products that will be
priced much more competitively than current market offerings. This partnership
will also enable Zenabis to supply high-quality medical cannabis into Germany,
one of the largest medical cannabis markets in the world, thereby establishing
our position in the European cannabis market."
Farmako
founder and chief executive officer, Niklas Kouparanis, said, "Signing the
first deal in history to sell mass-produced CBD isolate created by biosynthesis
to Zenabis is a significant milestone for both Farmako and for the global
Cannabis industry. Being the first European company to enter into an agreement
to sell CBD isolates to the Canadian market puts Farmako at a significant
competitive advantage within the global market and also supports us in bridging
the gap between cannabis and pharmaceuticals. With our unique Continuous
Bacterial Cannabinoid Biosynthesis (CBCB) method using our patented Bacterium
Zynmomonas Cannabinoides®, we are able to produce nature-identical cannabinoids
very effectively and at very low costs on a large scale."

Taking Care of Our #Pets:
More #CBD Pet Products Coming to Market Drive Quality and Innovation (TSX: $WEED.TO)
(NYSE: $CGC) (OTC: $LRSV) (OTC: $MJNA) (TSXV: $EAST.V)
Point Roberts WA,
Delta BC – April 29, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor
news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at
how as the CBD pet market grows, more companies are putting in extra effort to
create quality products and innovative technologies to ensure the best care possible
for pets that are often considered family members by consumers.

A recent study published in The Pet
Behavior Science Journal indicates that dogs with epilepsy can have less
frequent seizures if treated using CBD oil.
While the study may
have been small because it only followed three dogs over a period of two months
while those dogs were treated with CBD oil, the research suggests that dogs
respond to cannabis treatment in the same way that humans do.
One of the largest
cannabis companies in the world, Canopy
Growth Corporation (TSX:WEED) (NYSE:CGC) and Sequential Brands Group, Inc. announced back in February
that Martha Stewart had joined the Company in an advisory role to assist with
developing and positioning a broad new line of product offerings across
multiple categories, with a focus on pet products.
“I am delighted to
establish this partnership with Canopy Growth and share with them the knowledge
I have gained after years of experience in the subject of living,” said Martha
Stewart. “I’m especially looking forward to our first collaboration together,
which will offer sensible products for people’s beloved pets.”
While we are still
waiting with baited breath for more news and developments on Canopy’s pet
product line, the company is not sitting idly by and is ensuring proper supply
arrangements so as to be prepared to enter the market. More recently, the company announced its acquisition of
AgriNextUSA, a hemp enterprise led by CEO Geoff Whaling, which has been at the
forefront of hemp advocacy and building a vibrant hemp sector in the US. The
acquisition will accelerate Canopy Growth’s entry into key American
jurisdictions as regulations surrounding the full use of hemp as a crop begin
to be implemented, thanks in part to the recently enacted 2018 US Farm Bill.
Hemp has the
potential to disrupt several prominent industries: advanced materials,
cosmetics, energy, fiber and textiles, food and protein production and the
health and wellness sectors. In addition, hemp is a natural source of CBD, the
non-intoxicating component of cannabis that can be used for health and wellness
purposes, as well as pet products in jurisdictions where legally permitted.
LinkResPet, a
subsidiary of Link Reservations Inc.
(OTC: LRSV), a
company providing CBD products especially tailored for pets, has recently announced that
it is finalizing negotiations with a certified US-based CBD producer and
fulfillment center and are currently in the final stage of negotiations.
Link
Reservations Inc. is looking to establish itself in the US/North American
market and has been communicating with various producers in order to find
partners that meet their high standards, and has now found such a producer to
advance on their first partnership.
Upon
this arrangement being successfully completed and as the company explores
retail opportunities, LRSV will be able to offer home delivery of its CBD pet
products in the US and Canada. The company will also be in a position to supply
products to brick & mortar pet retailers. This will be a key for future
growth as the LinkResPet product line increases.
René
Lauritsen, Link Reservations Inc. CEO commented: “This is a huge step for LRSV
and our brand LinkResPet, and we are incredibly excited to be making advances
in North America. We selected our new partner due to their high-grade CBD
products and flexibility in production and delivery timeframes. We ensure our
products undergo a rigorous process of quality control and testing, using the
latest scientific methods that will confirm their quality and safety, which of
course includes being free of bacteria, pesticides, mold, solvents, and other
contaminants."
The
producer is specialized in “SFE” technique (Supercritical Fluid Extraction),
using state of the art equipment. “SFE/CO2 Extraction” is the most
sophisticated method of professionally producing hemp oil extract, gently
obtaining the extract and preserving many of the plant’s active molecules,
while being environmentally friendly and sustainable. In this process,
supercritical CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas is used in natural product extraction,
offering the possibility to separate materials from each other selectively and
with great care.
Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), the
first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States’ subsidiary, Phyto Animal Health recently announced the launch of
its newest CBD pet product, HempBone Smoked Salmon Bites for cats.
HempBone
Smoked Salmon Bites are artisanal star-shaped cat treats that are soft-baked
and naturally-flavored to taste like smoked salmon and roasted seafood.
Small
cats can enjoy three to four bites daily to help support overall wellness,
while larger cats may require a larger serving. CBD has been studied
extensively by top-veterinarians to promote cardiovascular function, support
healthy joints, and promote neurological health and emotional behavior in pets.
"Our
HempBone Bacon Apple Donuts have gained incredible popularity over the past
year because of their natural allergen-free ingredients and palatable taste
that dogs love," said Phyto Animal Health CEO, Ian Quinn. "We wanted
to offer a safe and nutritious snack for cats as well so we created HempBone
Smoked Salmon Bites. They are one-fourth of the CBD per serving size as the
Bacon Apple Donuts and feature a more feline-focused flavor, better meeting the
dosing needs and taste preferences of cats."
"There
is currently an upward trend in the CBD pet supplement industry and for good
reason," said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO, Dr. Stuart Titus. "Phyto
Animal Health leads this industry trend with premium quality,
veterinarian-recommended CBD supplements in a variety of options that are
customized to meet the needs of pets of many different sizes and species."
EastWest
Bioscience Inc. (TSX-V: EAST) is also bringing new innovative products to market,
having announced four additional products to its
Natural Pet Science line, both in Canada and the US, with CBD included in the
US destined products which will be marketed to CBD permitted jurisdictions.
Overshadowed by the significance of the CBD opportunity
that the signing of the 2018 Farm Bill presented, in December 2018, The US Food
and Drug Administration completed its evaluation of three generally recognized
as safe (GRAS) notices for hemp seed-derived food ingredients. These
ingredients being hulled hemp seed (GRN765), hemp seed protein powder (GRN771)
and hemp seed oil (GRN778). These notices represent a real market opportunity
for EastWest, which validates the Company's Canadian ‘product first' strategy.
EastWest's product development and sales strategy in the
US will be similar to what it used to grow retail shelf space in Canada. Now
that there is FDA approval for hemp-based foods, the Company's interesting and
innovative hemp-based products with unique formulations and ingredients become
attractive to distributors. As Eastwest's hemp products become established in
retail stores and distribution networks it lowers the barrier of entry for the
Company's CBD infused products.
"Hemp based products are still relatively new to US
markets and distributors are always looking for innovative lines to sell. Our
Hemp and Cricket pet treats on shelves in the US, even without CBD, represents
an opportunity to increase revenues beyond what the Canadian market is capable
of," states Rodney Gelineau, CEO of EastWest Bioscience Inc.
August 2018 figures from New Frontier Data found that
hemp-derived pet supplies generated $13 million in 2017 and by 2022 it's
expected that this number will reach upwards of $125 million.
Currently dogs and cats are the focus of the day as these
are our most common North American pets, however as companies develop better
quality products and increase distribution, we can expect to see horses and
larger animals as beneficiaries of CBD as well, expanding the overall potential
for the market. As more research comes out on the benefits of CBD for animals,
we can look ahead to more companies entering the market, with companies having
early entry in the sector gaining the lead.
