Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – March 27, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering tech and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at how payment technology and data solutions have evolved due to the regulatory hurdles facing the cannabis industry.
PaymentsJournal discussed the “cannabis payments conundrum” and how as the cannabis industry matures we are beginning to see an evolution in payment and data tech companies.
From the article: “The next few years will be hugely important in bringing more validity to the cannabis industry as it continues to expand into new legalized markets. Tapping into the compliant payments solutions will ensure that cannabis dispensaries and retailers will operate above reproach, something their customers/patients, employees, banking partners, and state regulators will appreciate.”
Global Payout Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and its operating subsidiary, MTrac Tech Corp. just announced that Carol Gabel, a member of the Company’s government relations team at MGR2 has been invited to speak at the New Jersey Cannabis Insider event on April 3rd.
The timing is critical, as next week New Jersey lawmakers are expected to vote on legalization. Gabel will discuss the pending changes in the cannabis payments sector and the company’s flagship product, the MTrac payment platform.
The event brings together many of the key players from throughout the cannabis industry in New Jersey and surrounding tri-state area to provide networking opportunities for both new and established businesses in this rapidly expanding industry.

“Over the course of my career I have had the distinguished opportunity to participate in the legislative process,” said Ms. Gabel. “With this experience I have gained a deep understanding of the legal challenges facing the cannabis industry and have harnessed that experience to help businesses succeed. One of the most challenging aspects of working in the cannabis industry is access to reliable banking and merchant processing services, and I believe MTrac does a lot to solve those problems. MTrac's payment platform helps both businesses and regulatory bodies by providing a secure tracking method for tracing purchases and solves the problems of cash only operations as well.”
The focus of the conference is to help attendees come away with an in-depth understanding of where the law stands, where the law is headed, and how to remain compliant in a complicated regulatory environment. Ms. Gabel intends to utilize this platform to discuss and highlight MTrac’s unique blockchain-powered cashless payment solution, and how states with legal recreational cannabis are leveraging the technology to increase safety and compliance across the board.
BLOCKSTRAIN TECHNOLOGY CORP. (TSXV: DNAX) (OTC: BKKSF) recently announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with Spark Digital Technologies Inc., whereby the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Spark and the business of Spark.
Spark is the owner of its proprietary platform, IgnitePro™, which was built exclusively for the cannabis industry. The IgnitePro™ technology is connected globally and will be able to travel with cannabis plants and products as they move from cultivation to distribution. IgnitePro™ will produce reports, store documentation and track transports, and when combined with Blockstrain, is expected to ensure regulation and compliance standards are being met and protected on the blockchain.
Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions Inc. (OTC: REFG), another leading provider of regulatory-compliant financial services for state-sanctioned marijuana, announced back in September the launch of their nationwide banking solution for state-sanctioned cannabis, (PayWithGo) and recently provided an update on its activities in 2018 and its 2019 strategic direction.
Jeremy Roberts, Company CEO commented, “Our corporate mantra has always been compliance, security and accessibility. And we're currently hitting on each of those principles. With the commercialization of Go!, which represents our single most important milestone to-date, we are on the cusp of an entire new era of growth and expansion as cannabis as well as other industries begin to adopt our payment solution."
Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSXV: RIV) has also been keeping a close eye on the rise in cannabis tech having announced earlier in the year that it has completed an equity investment in Headset, Inc., a data and analytics service provider for the cannabis industry. Canopy Rivers subscribed for C$4,084,500 of Series A Preferred Shares in Headset, representing the Company’s first entry into a technology-focused cannabis vertical.
The US House Financial Services Committee is expected to vote on the SAFE Act in the coming weeks, which would permit commercial banks to offer services to cannabis companies that are in compliance with state law. With these developments, the cannabis landscape could change overnight and switch from a cash-based grey system to a transparent economic powerhouse. This will be good news for the many payment and data companies that have already postured to accommodate the cannabis space, and could also represent a massive missed opportunity for the regulated banking sector.

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
Good
afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com “potcast”, looking at
cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and
experts.
Today
we are looking at announcements from Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSXV:
FAF), Cannara Biotech Inc. (CSE:
LOVE), Cannabis Growth Opportunity
Corporation (CSE:
CGOC), Vireo Health (CSE:VREO) and
SOL Global Investments Corp. (CSE:
SOL) (OTCQB:
SOLCF).
Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. today
announced successful first month operations of its
cannabis Click & Collect service.
The Click & Collect service allows
age-verified adult-use cannabis consumers to reserve cannabis and accessory
products for pickup at stores across the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The service was launched as part of the Company's mission to curate the world
of cannabis for its customers who seek a more convenient and informative buying
experience. Certain cannabis products sell out rapidly, and the Click &
Collect service ensures customers are able to reserve high-demand products and
receive priority service when visiting a store.
"The Click & Collect service has
been adopted very favourably, particularly by our loyal customers using mobile
devices," shared Trevor Fencott, Fire & Flower's Chief Executive
Officer. "We are seeing rapid and continuous growth in use of our Click
& Collect service across the entire Fire & Flower retail network."
The service was developed by HiFyre Inc.,
Fire & Flower's digital product studio that was acquired by the Company in
July of 2018. HiFyre Inc. has significant cannabis e-commerce experience
including work for Mettrum Health Corp., Starseed Medicinal Inc. and Canopy
Growth Corporation.
Cannara Biotech Inc., an emerging
vertically integrated cannabis company focused on cultivation and
cannabis-infused products, today
announced its subsidiary Global shopCBD.com Inc.
("shopCBD.com") has closed
private rounds of financing for aggregate proceeds of $8,865,849.15. Cannara remains the majority shareholder of
the U.S. based online e-commerce platform with an approximately 61% ownership
position.
"As the hemp CBD consumer markets
continue to evolve, what is increasingly clear is the health and wellness
segment is becoming more prominent," said Zohar Krivorot, President and
CEO of Global shopCBD.com. "The high level of investor interest in
participating in shopCBD.com underscores the potential of both CBD products
overall and moreover, a best-in-class online platform to serve this
market."
Cannabis Growth Opportunity Corporation,
a cannabis focused investment corporation with both public and private cannabis
holdings,
reported that Vireo Health International Inc.,
one of the private portfolio holdings commenced trading on the Canadian
Securities Exchange , under the symbol "VREO", on March 20, 2019, at an opening price of $5.65. In
conjunction with its previously announced business combination with Darien
Business Development Corp, Vireo raised over US$50 million by way of brokered
and non-brokered private placement offerings.
Vireo is a physician-founded and
scientifically-focused multi-state medical cannabis company. CEO Dr. Kyle
Kingsley founded the Company in 2014 after winning one of only two vertical
licenses issued by the state of Minnesota. The Company has gone on to expand
its business across multiple states, focusing its efforts on limited license
medical states. Vireo has a successful
track record of winning licenses in competitive application processes.
Jamie Blundell, President and Chief
Operating Officer of CGOC commented, "Vireo
has proven to be a committed and dedicated company, who have achieved their
goals and objectives as stated. We expect significant upside within the company
as they continue to expand their reach across the US.
"Our investment in Vireo has
provided a return of 188% in nine months and is a great example of how our
private investments can quickly add value to CGOC. This will positively impact
our NAV when calculated in April. At the current share price, CGOC represents a
unique and vastly discounted opportunity to benefit from the continued success
within this sector."
SOL Global Investments Corp. announced its
investment in leading premium soda-maker Jones Soda Co. (OTCQB:
JSDA).
SOL Global has acquired 3,396,049 common
shares of Jones Soda in the open market. SOL Global's total investment
represents approximately 8.19% of the total issued and outstanding common
shares of Jones Soda which, based on publicly available information, makes it
the company's largest stockholder. SOL Global has filed a Schedule 13D with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission describing its investment in
Jones Soda.
The Seattle-based Jones Soda Co., founded
in 1986, is known for its wide variety of flavored craft sodas, made with pure
cane sugar and other high-quality ingredients. The company's most recent
product launch, Jones Ginger Beer - as well as two new sugar-free soda flavors
- join its core brands including its Jones Soda product line, Jones Carbonated
Candy, and Lemoncocco, a premium non-carbonated drink made with high-quality
lemon and coconut flavors. Jones Soda is sold in eye-catching glass bottles and
cans and in fountains at restaurants and is distributed throughout North
America. The company continues to innovate its core brands as demand for
healthier sodas that contain high-quality ingredients grows and has also
redeveloped the majority of its product line using colors derived from natural
sources.
"Jones Soda has an iconic, retro
brand in the Soda Bottle and Fountain Beverage sector, and we believe the
company's true value will be recognized by the market as its new offerings gain
steam," said SOL Global Chief Investment Officer Andy DeFrancesco.
"It is clear that Jones Soda is committed to being on the front lines of
innovative product development, while staying true to their iconic brand."

#Cannabis Infused #Beverage Market Ready to Pop: Companies Prepare For Upcoming Canadian and US Infused Beverage Market; (TSX: $WEED.TO) (CSE: $SPR.C) (NASDAQ: $NBEV) (NYSE: $HEXO)
#Cannabis Infused #Beverage Market Ready to Pop: Companies Prepare For Upcoming Canadian and US Infused Beverage Market; (TSX: $WEED.TO) (CSE: $SPR.C) (NASDAQ: $NBEV) (NYSE: $HEXO)
Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – March 26, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the CBD and cannabis infused beverage sector and how companies are preparing to enter this new market segment.
In recent news, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said his agency has plans to regulate CBD edibles and will start holding public hearings on the matter as early as April.
Since the legalization of hemp and hemp-derived CBD in the Farm Bill, the CBD industry has eyed the FDA's position toward the substance, as it represents an obstacle to mass-market CBD edibles from a federal standpoint.
Having a clear set of rules could make it easier for cannabis and CBD companies to distribute their products on a larger scale and would eliminate the uncertainties that might prevent large retailers such as Walmart, Inc., from offering CBD products.

Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) has been preparing for the Canadian infused beverage market since receiving its investment from Constellation brands and is now preparing for the US, having acquired 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.
Sproutly Canada Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTC: SRUTF), a company whose core mission is to become the leading supplier to the cannabis beverage and consumables market, discussed their beverage plans in their recent strategic update.
“Sproutly has made significant progress towards building a world-class cannabis beverage and infused product company since going public in July of last year,” said Keith Dolo, CEO and Director. “We have been successful in acquiring the exclusive rights to Infusion Biosciences’ APP technology in certain jurisdictions, which is able to produce naturally water-soluble cannabinoids that deliver the full experience of cannabis paralleling the onset and offset profiles of smoking. From there, we have made steps to bring in the people and the resources to build a global cannabis-branded company focused on beverage and infused products” he added.
Following the legalization of adult use recreational cannabis in Canada in 2018, cannabis edibles are expected to be legalized later in 2019. As the Company approaches the legalization of edibles and beverages, Sproutly is developing its brand and partnership strategy with respect to APP technology. Sproutly will look to maximize the use of the exclusive Canadian license for APP Technology that it obtained through the acquisition of Infusion Biosciences Canada Inc. APP Technology is a patent-pending process that gently recovers naturally water-soluble cannabinoids as well as natural oils; recovering between 85% - 90% of the total bioactive cannabinoids in the plant.
New Age Beverages Corporation (NASDAQ: NBEV), a Colorado and Utah-based organic and natural beverage company intending to become the world's leading healthy beverages and lifestyle company, recently announced that it will hold an investor conference call on Friday, March 29, at 8:30 AM EST to discuss the Company's full year financial results for the period ending December 31, 2018.
In the conference call, NBEV will host a Q & A session for investors, where they will have the chance to inquire about NBEV’s beverage plans for the coming months and how the FDA decisions in April may affect their beverage strategy moving forward.
HEXO Corp. (NYSE: HEXO) (TSX: HEXO), similar to Canopy, has put focus into product supply having announced that it has entered a definitive agreement with Newstrike Brands Limited, in which HEXO will acquire all the outstanding and issued common stock of Newstrike as per the Business Corporations Act of Ontario.
The licensed indoor facility of Newstrike will offer HEXO access to the different growing techniques which will help position the company for global exports as the cannabis market continues to grow.
As we prepare for the Canadian consumables market and Federal regulations surrounding the CBD infused market in the US, ensuring a proper supply chain, distribution network and having top quality product are essential to any company aiming to capitalize on this opportunity. The beverage market is set to explode, but prospective companies still have a few more months to prepare for what could be the future of the beverage industry as a whole.
