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.
Today’s
podcast is sponsored by Cannabis Suisse Corp. (OTC: CSUI), a research & development company licensed
under Swiss Cannabis and tobacco regulations to cultivate and sell cannabis.
The Company's facilities for producing cannabis are based in Zurich.
The
Company grows high quality, organic cannabis with sustainable, all-natural principles.
Cannabis Suisse products are laboratory tested to ensure the end users have
access to a standardized, safe and consistent product.
In
today’s podcast we will be looking at a few private and public company
announcements.
American
Green
(OTC: ERBB) announced that one of its best AGM Vending
Machine Kiosk customers has used the company's technology to keep its employees
and customers safe by eliminating all contact with fellow customers and
employees while completing a transaction at its stores.
Earthly Mist, like
most companies in the retail sector, found itself in a situation when Covid 19
hit, of having to close its stores unless it found a way to continue to serve
its clients without risking the health of its employees and customers. Store
management came up with a solution to re-deploy their American Green AGM kiosks
to carry out a complete transaction without any human interaction whatsoever.
According to
Earthly Mist Manager, Danelle Pierce, "Customer and employee safety was
our #1 priority. We've used the AGM - American Green Merchandisers - as a way
to offer contactless purchases that are compliant within our Covid-19
environment. American Green's AGM has been great for our clients that still
need to complete purchases, but who are concerned about interacting with the
public. By making our products available day and night, essential workers still
in the workforce no longer need to rush in before our stores close. We've
informed our clients that even through forced shutdowns due to government
restrictions, our popular products will remain available to them to purchase
any time of the day or night. Our contact-free solution has greatly relieved
consumer anxiety and allowed us to continue to offer access to our products
during these uncertain times."
According to Lindel
Creed, American Green's head of American Green's AGM Division, "Earthly
Mist was forced to become very creative in their business thinking and has put
today's technology to optimum use in keeping their business and client base
stress free. Using high-tech security cameras and two-way communication with
customers arriving at the store, coupled with American Green's proprietary AGM
- American Green Merchandiser - Earthly Mist can continue to securely dispense
its quality products to customers using the kind of ingenuity that has made
American the great country that it is."
When visiting the
Earthly Mist Facebook page you can see a flyer made about a possible temporary
closure; however, the website and Automatic Dispensing AGM Machines will remain
available day and night.
In other news,
American Green plans to open up 10 additional major markets to vending
operators wishing to sell American Green's CBD line of American-made CBD
products. In addition to the AGM smart vending kiosk, the company is also a
leading online supplier of America-made, high quality CBD products which it
plans to "marry" to its state-of-the-art AGM machines. For a sampling
of American Green's high quality product offerings, simply click on the
company's online store. If you are an experienced vending machine operator
serving a major market and wish to add a complete CBD products to your existing
route, you should contact Mr. Lindel Creed at American Green's AGM Division
located in Gastonia, North Carolina by writing lindel@americangreen.com
or calling Mr. Creed on his direct line at 704-718-3158.
Merrco Payments
Inc.,
the leading cannabis payment solution provider, and Dutchie, an online cannabis
marketplace, announced the successful integration of Merrco's payment solution with Dutchie's
online platform for Click and Collect and cannabis delivery services (subject
to Provincial laws).
Following
the Ontario government's announcement on April 7, 2020 temporarily allowing
cannabis retailers to offer curbside pickup and delivery, cannabis retailers
had to act quickly.
Click
and Collect models were implemented immediately to allow consumers to reserve
products on a retailer's website or online ordering platform and securely pay,
and have the products delivered or picked up at curbside. This helps retailers
provide consumers with a convenient buying option while ensuring social
distancing measures are followed.
Dutchie
is an online cannabis ordering platform that provides consumers an easy and
safe way to purchase cannabis products from local cannabis retailers for
pickup, curbside or delivery.
Ross
Lipson, Co-founder and CEO of Dutchie said, "We are excited to partner
with Merrco to offer both consumers and cannabis retailers an end to end
cannabis ordering platform, that allows the consumer to pay online at
checkout."
Fern
Glowinsky, President and CEO of Merrco shared, "We are proud to offer
cannabis merchants a simple and reliable Click and Collect payment solution.
With the Dutchie integration, cannabis retailers benefit from a robust payment
processing platform that is fully integrated within their website."
Merchants
ready to offer Click and Collect services for curbside pick up or delivery, can
reach the company at info@merrco.ca
or 1-800-957-0534 to get started.
Neptune
Wellness Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT), a leader in natural health and
wellness products, announced the launch of Neptune Air, a
non-contact infrared thermometer (NCIT) optimized for measuring a person's
temperature while reducing cross-contamination risk and minimizing the risk of
spreading disease.
Neptune is
developing multiple versions of Neptune Air for consumers, businesses and
government customers, including white label turnkey solutions, and is currently
shipping to a large North American distributor of first aid and safety
products. The launch and expansion of Neptune Air is expected to allow Neptune
to rapidly increase North American supply of safe and effective thermometers,
which we believe have been in short supply since the COVID-19 outbreak.
According to the
U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the benefits of NCITs include:
●
Non-contact approach may reduce the risk of
spreading disease between people being evaluated
●
Easy to use
●
Easy to clean and disinfect
●
Measures temperature and displays a reading
rapidly
●
Provides ability to retake a temperature
quickly
This new expansion
of Neptune's product portfolio with products including hand sanitizers and
non-contact thermometers is a strategic response to COVID-19 and utilizes a
highly flexible and low cost supply chain infrastructure that can be scaled up
and down quickly to adapt to market demand.
"The launch of
Neptune Air reflects our ability to be nimble and quickly respond to customer
demands with turnkey product development and supply chain solutions," said
Michael Cammarata, Chief Executive Officer of Neptune Wellness Solutions.
"Neptune Air further reinforces our leadership position in health and
wellness products and we expect our entrance into this market to open the door
to many new customer relationships as we expand and diversify our health and
wellness product portfolio and leverage our capabilities to meet market needs.
In response to COVID-19, we are proud to bring this product to market to address
supply constraints due to strong demand for safe and effective thermometers as
an important tool in the fight against this pandemic."
Canopy
Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) officially unveiled its Cannabis
2.0 portfolio in late 2019 and provided the following updates on the
Company's 2.0 innovation products that have launched into the Canadian
recreational market in early 2020, and additional upcoming product releases.
The first wave of
the Company's ready-to-drink cannabis-infused beverages – Tweed Houndstooth & Soda and Tweed Bakerstreet & Ginger — shipped in March 2020 and April
2020, respectively. Houndstooth & Soda — the first THC-infused
ready-to-drink beverage to hit the Canadian market — garnered positive early
reviews and strong consumer demand across the country, with further shipments
having since been sent to provincial boards and retailers to meet ongoing
demand. Canadians can expect to see two additional beverages — Houseplant Grapefruit and Deep Space —
available through retail and e-commerce platforms within the coming weeks.
"We
are proud to see the early responses to our infused beverages," shared CEO
David Klein. "Our beverage innovation team took a flavour-first approach
with our drinks, and the first four offerings to hit the market demonstrate the
range of our portfolio, with flavour profiles that will satiate our consumers'
palates. We have said all along that infused beverages were going to be
game-changer for our industry and we are excited to introduce this new product
category to even more Canadian adult consumers in the coming weeks."
Canopy
Growth also recently launched its ~ 1 ounce SKUs — Twd. 28 Sativa and Twd. 28
Indica — via Twd., the Company's value cannabis brand. The Company believes
that consumers have the right to high quality, high THC flower at an accessible
price, and Twd.28 was developed to provide potency and value for purchasers who
prefer to buy their cannabis by the ounce. The introduction of competitively
priced bulk offerings into the legal Canadian recreational market will also
continue to help to shift sales from the illicit market.
Pasha Brands Ltd. (CSE: CRFT) (OTC:CRFTF) announced that it has signed a master
processing agreement with Indiva Limited
(TSXV:NDVA) (OTCQX:NDVAF) to manufacture and distribute
pre-rolls and jarred flower curated from Pasha’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BC
Craft Supply Co Ltd.’s, vast national network of artisanal cannabis growers.
This partnership intends to elevate the premium cannabis playing field by
highlighting the skills of Canada’s micro-growers and making their unique and
beautiful flower available to consumers from coast-to-coast.
“This
partnership represents a significant step for Pasha in realizing its vision to
bring high-quality micro producers into the legal market and to provide an
avenue for those products to be available on store shelves,” said Matthew Watters,
Pasha’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our partnership with Indiva will leverage
their world-class manufacturing capabilities, and equally strong distribution
network within Canada, to produce pre-rolls and jarred flower that sets new
industry standards. We take a lot of pride in our network of micro producers
and are excited to work collaboratively to bring their artisanal cannabis to
market, particularly at a time when quality product is in high demand.”
The
MPA is for a one-year renewable term. The partnership expects to begin
processing cannabis by late May 2020. Pasha and Indiva will share in the net
revenue from the MPA after costs are recovered by each respective party.
