Organigram Holdings Inc., the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading licensed producer of cannabis has been recognized as one of the 2019 OTCQX Best 50. Organigram was ranked as 4th best performing stock on the OTCQX® Best Market for 2018.

The OTCQX Best 50 is an annual ranking of the top 50 U.S. and international companies traded on the OTCQX Best Market, based on an equal weighting of one-year total return and average daily dollar volume growth. Companies in the 2019 OTCQX Best 50 were ranked based on their performance during the 2018 calendar year.

"At Organigram we believe corporate excellence and product excellence go hand-in-hand," says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. "We are proud to be recognized as one of 2019 OTCQX Best 50, and believe that our team's diligence related to governance, operations and output will continue to support Organigram's continued and growing success both here at home and around the world."

iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc., which owns, operates, and partners with best-in-class regulated cannabis operations across the United States, announced that it has opened its second New York dispensary, located in the Dutchess County town of Wappingers Falls. The dispensary will operate as "Citiva Hudson Valley" under iAnthus' "Citiva" New York dispensary brand.

The 2,600 sq. ft. dispensary is located at 1147 Route 9 in Wappingers Falls, a short drive from Beacon Train Station on the Metro-North Railroad, Marist College, Vassar College, and a collection of New York historical sites. The retail location initially will offer more than 30 locally-sourced, lab-tested products, including vape cartridges, tinctures, capsules, and powders, dispensed by highly-knowledgeable patient care representatives.

This is the second of iAnthus' four New York licensed dispensaries, with locations in Staten Island and Chemung County still to follow. iAnthus opened its first New York dispensary in Brooklyn in December 2018.

"The opening of our Citiva Hudson Valley dispensary is a major milestone for iAnthus, as it marks the 20th dispensary opened by the Company," said Hadley Ford, CEO of iAnthus. "2019 will be full of catalysts and exciting developments for Citiva, including the much-anticipated completion of our cultivation facility in Warwick, New York, and the opening of dispensaries in Staten Island and Chemung County."

Aurora Cannabis Inc. announced today that Michael Singer, previously Chairman of the Board, has been appointed Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Company also announced that independent director Ronald Funk has been named Lead Independent Director and Margaret Atkins has been appointed as a new independent director and Chair of the Audit Committee. Diane Jang, who served on the Company's board since November 2017, has voluntarily resigned her position as Director of Aurora.

"As Aurora continues to mature into one of the world's largest and leading cannabis companies, it is important that our Board continues to examine its composition to ensure that its experience and expertise aligns with the Company's strategic direction," said Michael Singer, Executive Chairman. "The changes announced today ensure that our Board is well-equipped to continue to provide that guidance and strong oversight to the Company. In my new role I will continue to work closely with our CEO, Terry Booth, and the rest of our senior executive team on all matters pertaining to strategic direction, execution and finance. Ron, with his exceptional senior leadership track record and experience, has been a valuable contributor as an independent director and is now positioned to play a more critical role as our Lead Independent Director. He will work closely with Norma Beauchamp, Chair of the Governance Committee, to continue to advance and further enhance our corporate governance practices."

CannTrust Holdings Inc. announced that it has satisfied all the regulatory requirements to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

Trading of the Company's common shares on the NYSE will begin on Monday, February 25, 2019 under the ticker symbol "CTST". The Company's common shares will continue to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "TRST".

"We are continuously looking to deliver shareholder value and the NYSE listing is a natural progression for CannTrust," said Peter Aceto, Chief Executive Officer. "We have taken steps to strengthen our management team to accelerate our growth as we face high demand for our products and expertise, both domestically and internationally. Specifically, we have recently hired Greg Guyatt as Chief Financial Officer, who has demonstrated experience in international capital markets. We expect the NYSE listing will result in an expanded institutional and retail shareholder base, increased capital markets exposure and firmly establish CannTrust as a global company."

#CBD Sector Matures: “US Hemp CBD Market will Triple by 2022”; (CSE: $CROP.C) (OTC: $CRXPF) (OTC: $ISBG) (CSE: $LIHT.C) (OTCQX: $LIHTF) (CSE: $TGIF.C) (OTCQX: $TGIFF)


#CBD Sector Matures: “US Hemp CBD Market will Triple by 2022”; (CSE: $CROP.C) (OTC: $CRXPF) (OTC: $ISBG) (CSE: $LIHT.C) (OTCQX: $LIHTF) (CSE: $TGIF.C) (OTCQX: $TGIFF)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 20, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot focused on new product launches in the CBD sector and how the hemp and CBD industry is maturing.

The CBD market has been aggressively expanding since the signing of the US Farm Bill, but now the sector is starting to mature, as well as separate from the THC cannabis sector, as products are hitting shelves and online retailers. New Frontier Data says, “The US Hemp CBD Market will Triple by 2022.”


Crop Infrastructure Corp. (CSE: CROP) (OTC: CRXPF) has focused on the demand for CBD isolate, having announced earlier in the month that its 49% owned subsidiary, Elite Ventures reported that Hempire has been issued with a 2019 hemp handler, hemp nursery and hemp grower licenses covering 1,350 irrigated acres on its 2,115 acres of owned or leased CBD focused lands.

Crop CEO, Michael Yorke, stated: "With the increased size and operating range of our tenant's licenses, CROP's Nevada CBD operations are emerging into a truly world class operation. Our land holdings, micropropagation team, strategies, drying and extraction capabilities and supply agreements will enable us to operate from seeds to isolate to sales in 2019."

International Spirits and Beverage Group Inc. (OTC:ISBG), a top-tier brand incubator in the Global Wine & Spirits and CBD-Infused Products markets, recently announced that it will launch live sales of its second official CBD product in the form of a complete line of CBD Topicals, featuring all-natural icy/hot, odor-free CBD lotions and gels capable of deeply penetrating sore muscle tissue and providing soothing relief for aches and pains through the healing action of high-potency, nano-infused cannabidiol.

“We view our incubation model as unique in the CBD space at present,” commented ISBG CEO, Terry Williams. “We have traction with one product, and we are nearing the release of our second. We plan to build this division into a dominant position in the marketplace using our strong strategic partnerships with leaders such as BioPulse and Canbiola, and then progressively monetize it through brand acquisitions.”

“We have developed a model that specializes in producing brands for acquisition,” continued Mr. Williams. “The CBD space is ideal as an application for this model because the ROI is now so eye-popping that major consumer products companies sitting on big cash reserves will see diversification into the CBD products market as an increasingly inviting option. We are cultivating a top-tier line of products that represent industry-leading quality in terms of bioavailability and potency across the board.”

Liht Cannabis Corp. (CSE: LIHT) (OTCQX: LIHTF) has also had a new product launch, having announced the launch of PureCloud 9, (a Liht Cannabis Corp. brand), a collection of 6 organic hempseed oil based skincare products to the health and wellness market.

PureCloud 9 will offer its first six products for in-store purchase and to consumers online at www.purecloud9.com which currently offers delivery options within Canada and will open globally in the near future.

1933 Industries Inc. (CSE: TGIF) (OTCQX: TGIFF) has focused more so on reach, having recently reported that its subsidiary, Infused MFG. continues to expand its reach across the US and has attained product distribution into 46 states.

Infused, a manufacturer of proprietary hemp-based, CBD infused health and wellness products continues its market penetration in the US where it has established its own distribution to over 600 stores. Infused's recognized brands, including Canna Hemp™, Canna Hemp X™ and Canna Hemp Paws™ are available in over 250 retail stores in California, Nevada, Arizona and Colorado, with the remainder distributed across the United States. In addition, the Company has an established e-commerce presence, sales agents, call-centre and a dedicated sales and marketing team who work directly with each retailer building and maintaining relationships, providing customer service and education.

"Owning our distribution is key to our growth strategy and to our success, ensuring that our branding and messaging is properly delivered", said Mr. Chris Rebentisch, USA Chief Operating Officer. "Our operational expertise and excellence have set the benchmark for product manufacturing, distribution and compliance in Nevada."

With supply chains and distribution networks now in place and with products hitting shelves, the CBD sector is starting to separate itself from the THC focused cannabis market. With more quarterly financials expected in the next few weeks, the CBD and Hemp sector will have the chance to prove their viability as an independent product sector.
