Investor Ideas #Cannabis News #Potcasts Special Edition: Interview with Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Science Officer of Sproutly Canada Inc. (CSE: $SPR.C) (OTCQB: $SRUTF)



Investor Ideas #Cannabis News #Potcasts Special Edition: Interview with Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Science Officer of Sproutly Canada Inc. (CSE: $SPR.C) (OTCQB: $SRUTF) 





Delta, Kelowna, BC – June 4, 2019 Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including cannabis and its potcast site, www.potcasts.ca release today’s special edition of Investorideas.com potcastsCM, featuring an interview with Dr. Arup Sen, the Chief Science Officer for Sproutly Canada Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF). Dr. Sen discusses Sproutly’s recent developments and how they are approaching the Canadian cannabis beverages market expected to open up this fall.

Listen to the podcast:


Sproutly’s core mission is to become the leading supplier to the cannabis beverage and consumables market. The company’s Toronto-based, ACMPR licensed facility was built to cultivate pharmaceutical grade cannabis to supply a technological breakthrough in producing and formulating the first natural, truly water-soluble cannabis solution. Their water-soluble ingredients and bio-natural oils will deliver revolutionary brands to international markets that are clamouring for well-defined commercial products, and Sproutly’s business focus is to execute on partnerships with local and globally established consumer brands to leverage their existing customer bases, further expand brand loyalty, assist with marketing, and support distribution networks to deliver this scientific breakthrough with speed and efficiency worldwide.


When asked about recent developments Dr. Sen discussed Sproutly and OCC Holdings Ltd., an affiliate of Moosehead Breweries Limited’s recent announcement that they have entered into a definitive agreement to form an exclusive joint venture to develop, produce, and market nonalcoholic cannabis-infused beverages in Canada using Sproutly’s proprietary, naturally produced water-soluble cannabinoids known as ‘Infuz2O’.

“We will be pretty much standing alone in the field of making beverages that will include natural chemicals in their natural state from cannabis and hemp plants,” commented Dr. Sen with regards to Sproutly’s unique product capabilities.

When asked about what the Company has been doing to prepare for the recreational beverage market coming this fall, Dr. Sen talked about Sproutly’s recent stability tests for  their current formulations and the success they’ve seen so far.

“We have created about 44 different formulations, many of which have already gone through the stability testing, both in cans as well as bottles, because at this point we don’t know how the regulations will turn out. We would prefer glass bottles, because of the clear solution nature of our beverages which will stand out in a glass bottle.”

“In the stability study for glass bottles we have exceeded 5 and a half months, and in cans we are right around 4 months and a week. As you know, beer and other beverages go through a 3 to 6 month stability test and we’ve already exceeded the 3 month mark and we have not seen any change in the experience or quality,” Dr. Sen concluded.

Sproutly also recently released its premium cannabis brand for the recreational market, CALIBER. CALIBER is designed for the cannabis connoisseur and delivered via Sproutly’s craft cannabis flower production. When asked about this, as well as future Sproutly recreational products, Dr. Sen described some of the possibilities with the Company’s Bio-Natural Oils and how this separates Sproutly from its competitors.

“The next in line for us would be tinctures and capsules, which our Bio-Natural Oil perfectly fits in to. The tinctures and capsules will have their own unique features and characteristics, as our Bio-Natural Oil behaves very differently from other isolates and distillates, as ours is actually full plant oil. We could sell each by itself, or we can create blends and profiles of unique recreational value which others wouldn’t think they would be able to, because they are still stuck on Indica, Sativa and Hybrid. We, on the other hand, are focused on the unique strains, as each delivers a unique experience. We are in a position to either provide what would be considered single flower, much like a varietal of wine, and unique blends, knowing what the specific qualities of each strain are, to provide something none of the other capsules or oils will be able to provide.”

Dr. Sen also went on to discuss, in more detail, what consumers might be able to expect for product offerings with regards to their partnership with MooseHead as well as the far off future of potential IV use with their water-soluble solutions, though even Dr. Sen would be the first to say that the industry is still looking way down the road for that distant goal.

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon 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.

In today’s podcast we look at a few early announcements.

But first, according to a new report from Deloitte, the next stage of cannabis legalization in Canada is expected to create a consumer market for edibles and other alternative cannabis products worth more than C$2.5 billion a year and generate higher profits for retailers than cannabis products that are already legal.

The report, Nurturing new growth: Canada gets ready for Cannabis 2.0, says the legalization on October 17, 2019, of edibles containing cannabis and cannabis concentrates will create new product mixes that will reach consumers who may have been reluctant to try traditional cannabis consumption methods that are currently available. Many of these novice or "cannabis-curious" consumers will be older, often female Canadians who will prefer more familiar consumption formats, notably edibles such as baked goods.

"The edibles market alone is estimated to be worth at least $1.6 billion a year in Canada, with cannabis-infused beverages adding a further $529 million," said Jennifer Lee, a partner and Deloitte Canada's Cannabis National Leader, and Consumer Advisory and Analytics Practice National Leader. "According to our research and stakeholder interviews, much of this economic boost will be on top of current cannabis product spending. The introduction of cannabis-infused edibles will clearly threaten the alcohol industry as consumers are using the product for similar usage occasions."

"The global cannabis market is enormous, and Canadian firms are well-positioned to play a pivotal role as this market grows and evolves," said Lee. "Cannabis companies with strong professional leadership and business fundamentals, a focused strategy, and a willingness to place bets—while playing the long game to wait out the changing regulatory environments—will be the ones who succeed and prosper."

Zenabis Global Inc. (TSX:ZENA) today announced that Health Canada has granted an industrial hemp production license.

"This is the second cultivation license we have received from Health Canada this year, and is another important step toward realizing our vision of becoming a significant cannabis and cannabinoid producer in Canada," said Andrew Grieve, Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis.

"This license enables the commencement of hemp cultivation and hemp-derived CBD production, and also the testing of our vertical farming system at Zenabis Langley for the cultivation of hemp. This vertical farming system is intended to be used for the production of cannabis upon receipt of the Zenabis Langley cannabis cultivation license. The hemp-derived CBD market is expected to grow exponentially over the next three years.1 Through this addition, among other strategic hemp-focused initiatives, we are positioning Zenabis to participate in the hemp-derived CBD industry in both Canada and the United States."

Zenabis will be able to cultivate hemp using the remaining land and in greenhouses off-cycle from other crops for its Zenabis Langley, Zenabis Pitt Meadows, and Zenabis Aldergrove facilities.2 Hemp cultivation at the Zenabis Langley site will not interfere with the planned cannabis cultivation activities at Zenabis Langley, nor will it reduce the cannabis cultivation design capacity of Zenabis Langley.

Gabriella's Kitchen Inc. (CSE: GABY) (OTCQB: GABLF), a market-leader in the North American cannabis wellness space, announced that its common shares have been approved for listing on the OTCQB Venture Market ("OTCQB"), a U.S. trading platform that is operated by the OTC Markets Group in New York. Effective June 3, 2019, the Company will commence trading on the OTCQB under the symbol "GABLF". The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "GABY".

In respect of the OTCQB listing, Margot Micallef, CEO of GABY commented, "We are thrilled to announce the listing of GABY's common shares on the OTCQB exchange, which we believe further establishes GABY as an innovative and leading-edge North American cannabis wellness company with broad appeal. GABY anticipates this additional listing on the OTCQB will provide increased opportunity for shareholder liquidity, as well as enhanced market access for American institutional and retail investors seeking to become a part of the GABY story."

Indiva Limited (TSXV:NDVA) (OTC:NDVAF) has successfully received an amended license from Health Canada for three additional grow rooms and three additional processing rooms, bringing the company's annual cultivation capacity to approximately 1,000kg.  The three newly licensed rooms will be immediately populated with plants, using advanced aeroponic grow technology, with the first harvest expected in less than 10 weeks. The Company has completed the video evidence package for an additional five rooms, including additional processing space, with the expectation the rooms will come online in Q3 2019, subject to Health Canada approval.  Once all eight rooms are online, Indiva's annual flower capacity will be approximately 3,000kg.

The amended license will further strengthen Indiva's position in the domestic and international cannabis industry, by allowing an expanded supply of quality products to patients as well as provincial wholesalers. This expansion will directly serve the growing demand for Indiva products including the company's current line of pre-rolls available through the OCS and licensed retailers in Ontario.  The increased flower capacity will also serve as raw material for Indiva's 70 tonne extraction facility planned for 2019, and ultimately serves as a high quality input for the Company's upcoming release of concentrates, chocolates, sugar and various other cannabis derivative items, when the law permits.

"Indiva continues to execute on its expansion plans, and this increase in production capacity gives us greater bandwidth to service the demand for quality cannabis products in Canada," said Niel Marotta, President and CEO.

Pasha Brands Ltd. (CSE: CRFT), Canada's largest craft cannabis organization, announced today that trading of its common shares will commence at market open today under exchange symbol "CRFT" on the Canadian Stock Exchange. This follows the completion of the reverse takeover of Broome Capital Inc.

Although new to the public markets, Pasha is Canada's only prohibition-era brand house and already the most significant force in Canada's craft cannabis community. The vertically integrated craft cannabis organization operates as a brand house representing Canada's most established craft cannabis cultivators, producers and retailers. Within the Pasha umbrella resides award-winning brands that have firmly established themselves, pre-legalization, in British Columbia – a region known around the world for its high quality craft cannabis product. Prior to legalization, the brands now owned by Pasha, while operating in the prohibition-era, ranked among the leading revenue producing companies now operating in the regulated industry.

"Today is historic for both Pasha Brands and the Canadian craft cannabis community," said Patrick Brauckmann, Executive Chairman of Pasha Brands. "Our listing not only marks the beginning for Pasha as a publicly traded company, but confirms our unwavering commitment to help take growers and brands, many of which played a role in making legalization happen, into the legal marketplace."

Pasha's wholly-owned subsidiary, BC Craft Supply Co. Ltd. will assist micro-cultivators through development, licensing, testing, and distribution of craft cannabis products, in exchange for a guaranteed supply agreement with each micro-cultivator. Similar to Pasha, BC Craft has also amassed some of the most experienced growers in the industry who have laid the foundation for legal cannabis to exist today. Under the Health Canada framework, each micro-cultivator will be able to legally process approximately 500 kilograms of dried flower per year. For every 100 micro-cultivators BC Craft secures, up to 50,000 kilograms of world-class craft cannabis could be available to the market via Canada's regulated supply chain.

Investor Ideas #Potcasts: #Cannabis News Special Edition - Interview with Kim Casey on her recent book, Cannabis For Dummies


Investor Ideas #Potcasts: #Cannabis News Special Edition -  Interview with Kim Casey on her recent book, Cannabis For Dummies



Delta, Kelowna, BC –May 31, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its potcast site, www.potcasts.ca  release today’s edition of Investorideas.com potcastsCM - cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

Listen to the podcast:



Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon 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.

In today’s podcast I interview Kim Casey, Author of Cannabis for Dummies about her background in cannabis, what lead her to write this book as well a the content of the book itself.

But first, earlier this week, the cannabis community received a piece of great news as a federal appeals court gave medical cannabis patients and reform advocates a small but significant procedural victory, ruling that it would hold open a case challenging the scheduling status of marijuana under federal law.

The court is putting the federal government on notice that it must “promptly” make a decision on marijuana rescheduling so that those who rely on its medical benefits don’t unduly suffer.

Two years ago, a group of patients including New York Jet’s great, Marvin Washington and advocates, Cannabis Cultural Association, filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department in a U.S. District Court, alleging that the Schedule I status of cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) poses serious health risks and unfair economic disadvantages.
The 2-1 ruling from the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals said the feds’ classification of weed in the same category as heroin and LSD made no sense.

“Plaintiffs claim that a shift over time in our understanding of the uses and dangers of marijuana warrants a change in marijuana’s classification,” Judge Guido Calabresi wrote for the majority. “It is possible that the current law, though rational once, is now heading towards irrationality; it may even conceivably be that it has gotten there already.” The judges said they might intervene if the DEA did not act “with adequate dispatch” to a request to review its classification of marijuana as a Schedule I drug.

The Cannabis Culture Association commented saying, “The Cannabis Cultural Association is proud to be a plaintiff in this milestone case. Today, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its decision, holding our federal cannabis lawsuit in abeyance but retaining jurisdiction over it while our legal team files a petition to reschedule cannabis, to ensure that the petition is decided with “alacrity.”  This is the first decision of its kind and will afford the plaintiffs the rapid decision that they and all Americans deserve. The Cannabis Cultural Association looks forward to continuing to lead the legalization movement, and to supporting our lawyers’ efforts to compel the DEA to finally render a fair and fast decision.”

As well the Virtual Investor Conferences and KCSA Strategic Communications today announced the agenda for the upcoming Cannabis Industry Virtual lnvestor Conference. Individual investors, institutional investors, advisors and analysts are invited to attend. The program opens at 8:45 AM ET, with the first live webcast at 9:00 AM ET, on Tuesday, June 4th.
Some of the companies attending the Virtual Conference include Aurora Cannabis, KushCo Holdings, Khiron Life Sciences and more.
In my interview with Kim Casey on her recent book Cannabis For Dummies, Kim discussed what brought her to write this book and some of her hopes from both the industry and the average US or Canadian citizen who may read this book.
“I think this was written for numerous audiences, there’s something in it for everyone, from someone who is very comfortable as a cannabis user to someone who has just heard of cannabis and is curious. For the comfortable cannabis user they may learn a great deal about the industry itself {from the book},” commented Casey on the potential audiences for her book.
When asked about what specific information Casey thought the average cannabis consumer could learn from her book she pointed quickly to the section of the book focussed on Cannabis Taxes, both in the US and Canada.
“Most people, even the people working for cannabis companies, are unaware of the Federal US Tax code. The general public doesn’t realize that the dollars that are coming into the company are mostly going back to the federal government. To clarify, this is not State Tax where medical or recreational cannabis is aloud, but Federal.”
“For the Canadian population, understanding that each Canadian province has its own business structure on the involvement of Government in the supply chain. Some provinces are allowing independent business to operate the dispensaries, some are handling the entire piece from growers to consumers, and some have a mixture. This may be interesting to individuals who may not understand the industry and its ins and outs on the whole.”
Cannabis for Dummies covers everything from the growing and processing side of cannabis, to Investing, business practices and even how to best buy cannabis for personal consumption.
The chapter focussed on Investing gives a great overlay of the last two years in the industry, some of the pitfalls to avoid and be wary of as well as certain company standards and trends that have lead to success so far.
The book is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble and is available in paper and e-book format.
