SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: $SING): #Hemp Cigarettes - What You Need to Know About One of the Fastest Growing Segments of Hemp; @_Singlepoint_



PHOENIX - October 29, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB:SING) has launched into the smokable hemp market. Newly released brand 1606 Original Hemp is gaining traction after much attention at the 2019 National Association of Convenience Stores launch. The company received orders on site at the show and gathered over 100 interested clients that collectively own over 15,000 locations. SinglePoint expects to make its first large sale in the near future and has shipped orders to a collective 250 locations.





Hemp has been globally cultivated for thousands of years, but what is hemp and what makes the plant so special? Hemp is a strain that comes from the Cannabis Sativa plant species, it is an agricultural crop grown for seed and fiber. "Some of the earliest known uses of hemp began in China about 10,000 BCE, where it was used for making clothing, rope, and paper."

In today's world, hemp is becoming very popular. The use of hemp has evolved into diverse products such as lotions, oils, food, beverages, and cigarettes. Smokable hemp is a developing trend, but is it a good way to consume the cannabinoid? Here's what you need to know:

Hemp vs. Marijuana
Hemp and marijuana are both part of the cannabis family. However, hemp will not get you high unlike marijuana, which is known for its psychoactive effects. Marijuana has high levels of THC, containing anywhere from 5%-35% whereas hemp has less than 0.3% THC. Hemp contains high cannabidiol (CBD) content which is not psychoactive. Smoking hemp is a positive alternative to marijuana, "You get the same taste, the same psychological feeling of smoking a joint, but without the high."

Replacing Tobacco
Pure American Hemp cigarettes (link) are nicotine and tobacco free. Some research suggests that smoking hemp cigarettes could be a potential tool to replace tobacco and nicotine addictions. According to a Brightfield Group survey of more than 5,000 CBD users in the U.S.:
·        24% have used it to help quit smoking.
·        Quitters are often replacing cigarettes
·        with either smokable hemp or vaping.
·        41% of quitters have entirely replaced
·        tobacco with hemp CBD.

Google trends reveals over the last year that hemp was researched more often than tobacco and nicotine.

Initial Research
Initial research has shown CBDs ability to reduce cigarette consumption. Researchers at University College London conducted a study of 24 smokers. Each were given an inhaler with CBD or placebo. For one week they were to use the inhaler when they had the urge to smoke. Those with placebo had no difference in cigarettes smoked, those with the CBD inhaler significantly reduced the number of cigarettes smoked by 40%.

The Alternative Market
The Alternative Market has continued to grow drastically, 35%, from 2019 to 2018 while cigarettes stayed steady at 3.1%. With the addition of hemp cigarettes and the recent vape scare, many assume the alternative market will continue growing as people look for a "healthier for you" alternative to cigarettes.

The Future
BDS Analytics and Arcview Market Research projects that the collective market for CBD sales in the U.S. will surpass $20 billion by 2024 while New York-based investment bank Cowen & Co, estimates that the market could pull in $15 billion by 2025. The smokable hemp market currently represents approximately 2% of the overall CBD market, but with a 250% growth from 2017 to 2018, Brightfield Group, a Chicago-based cannabis market research firm, identifies dried and smokable hemp flowers as one of the fastest-growing segments of the CBD market.

Snapshot Looking at Cannabis Global Expansion from Israel to the EU


Point Roberts WA, Delta, BC – October 29, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering cannabis and hemp stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on the continued international expansion of the cannabis industry and how it’s leading to a global cannabis infrastructure.


A recent article reporting on the growth of the global cannabis industry notes, “Fully 185 countries are signatories to the United Nations’ Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, which prohibits cannabis as a drug that can be abused and cause ill effects, without bringing a substantial therapeutic advantage. Each signatory’s laws must reflect the Convention; that is the case for the US’ Controlled Substances Act of 1971. Countries that have legalized cannabis are flouting the convention, and some, such as Canada, admit that openly.”

“Thanks to changing public perceptions, moves such as Canada’s, ongoing research on health benefits and risks, and the urging of the World Health Organization—in 2019 it came out in favor of less restrictive control of cannabis and of removing prohibitions for pure CBD and CBD preparations containing no more than .2% THC—the United Nations has said it will revisit cannabis under the Single Convention. It should be noted, however, that amending the convention is difficult with so many members involved.”
“Medical use of cannabis is and will be accepted around the world a lot more quickly than recreational use,” says Mario Torres of Brazeau Seller Law (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). “People are not enthused about prohibiting medical care. They don’t want to disallow access to the only thing that may stop epileptic seizures in children or is part of a patient’s treatment plan.” Medical use is becoming more acceptable even in very conservative countries like South Korea and Thailand, which have legalized cannabis for medical purposes.

Recent news headlines look to Israel saying,” Israel is at the forefront of cannabis tech. The country, which produces more pharmaceutical cannabis than just about anywhere else, is poised to become a leading exporter.”

Recently listed on the CSE, Isracann Biosciences Inc. (CSE: IPOT) is an Israeli-based cannabis company focused on becoming a premier cannabis producer offering low-cost production targeting undersupplied, major European marketplaces. The Company (formerly Atlas Blockchain Group Inc.), recently provided an operative overview and update regarding facility development activities in Israel.

Concurrent to and as part of the Company’s recent listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange it had satisfied the escrow release conditions for the net proceeds of its highly successful CAD$10.1 million financing efforts which bolstered an already healthy cash position.

This positions the company to immediately accelerate its planned Phase One Facility Design and Construction Services Program which consists of finalization of greenhouse facility design for cannabis cultivation and production in accordance with an existing technical specifications strategy; to rapidly advance greenhouse and related facility construction per the design; ensure adequate controls are in place against any diversion, theft and loss of cannabis products per regulatory standards; and ensure compliance with other protective security, health, and safety requirements in accordance with Israeli regulations.

To date, Isracann has entered into agreements for the development of medical cannabis cultivation projects with regional stakeholders holding preliminary breeding and cultivation licenses issued by the Israeli Ministry of Health. The regional stakeholder is required to renew these licenses each year and further bears the cost of electricity, property and related land taxes and are bound to working with Isracann to obtain the required licenses and to participate in the construction of the greenhouses.

Isracann ‘s CEO, Darryl Jones notes, “We are very pleased to have achieved our very important initial milestone targets with the CSE listing of our ticker symbol “IPOT” and to confirm our accelerated investment plans in Israel are fully underway. We have lined up several key organizations and personnel and look forward to announcing a number of these key commercial agreements in the days and weeks ahead. We thank all our supporters for their belief in us, and in our belief that the Israeli agricultural sector will provide a huge leading role in positioning the Isracann brand as market leaders in the massive and underserved European cannabis marketplace.”

In related news, the Company welcomes the recent appointment of Irit Arbel, Ph.D. to its Board of Directors. Dr. Arbel brings significant senior multidisciplinary biopharma and governance experience to Isracann’s board. She serves as CEO, Co-Founder and Director of Neurocords Ltd., a company focused on developing new treatments for peripheral and spinal cord regeneration, and previously served as Director and President of Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics, and as Executive Vice President of Research and Development at Savicell Diagnostic, a biotechnology company. Dr. Arbel previously served as Chairperson of Real Aesthetics, a company specializing in cellulite ultrasound treatment, and BRH Medical, a developer of medical devices for wound healing. She was also Director of M&A at RFB Investment House, a private investment firm focusing on early-stage technology-related companies. Previously, Dr. Arbel was President and Chief Executive Officer of Pluristem Life Systems, a biotechnology company, and prior to that as Israeli Sales Manager of Merck, Sharp & Dohme, a pharmaceutical company. Dr. Arbel earned her Ph.D. in 1997 in Neurobiology, after performing research in the area of MS. Dr. Arbel also holds a Chemical Engineering degree from the Technion, Israel’s Institute of Technology.

Avicanna Inc.(TSX: AVCN) (OTCQX: AVCNF), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of cannabinoid-based products, recently announced that Santa Marta Golden Hemp S.A.S., its majority owned subsidiary, has completed commercial exports of its Aureus™ brand of CBD-based products to South Africa and the United Kingdom.

The Aureus brand of products include an organic and sustainable line of plant-derived active pharmaceutical ingredients ("APIs") and bulk CBD formulations developed by Avicanna in collaboration with SMGH and Sativa Nativa S.A.S. ("Sativa Nativa"), which is also a majority owned subsidiary of Avicanna. These initial sales included the export of CBD isolate and 4% bulk formulation for CBD oil sublingual sprays. Each of the above exports has been completed in accordance with all applicable laws in the Jurisdictions.

Aras Azadian, Avicanna's Chief Executive Officer, stated "We are excited to bring the Aureus brand of cannabinoid APIs to our international customers. We believe these initial sales further validate the brand's opportunities in these two countries, as well as the potential for us to actively market our APIs across the globe to manufacturers of CBD products. We believe the Aureus brand of API products will become a leader in organic and sustainable cannabinoid raw materials and the gold standard with respect to global quality controls, which we believe are necessary for the evolution of a worldwide cannabinoid industry.”

Avicanna is also looking into the Latin American market having announced the retail launch of its Pura Earth™ derma-cosmetics line of CBD products, which are now available at approximately 59 high-end retail locations throughout Colombia, including Blind Prestige beauty shops and Cromantic professional beauty markets.

Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN) (OTC: KHRNF), a vertically integrated cannabis leader with core operations in Latin America, recently announced their entrance into the EU market having completed the EU cosmetic regulatory process for seven Kuida products, and received a "no objection" letter from TSXV with respect to distribution of these products in the UK.

Tejinder Virk, President, Khiron Europe, commented, "The fulfillment of EU cosmetic regulatory requirements allows the Company to bring our proven product line into the sophisticated and growing European skincare market, where we expect to rapidly build and grow Kuida's market share. We will initially focus on import and marketing in UK, with our first sales expected in Q1 2020, before expanding to Spain, Germany and the broader European market, subject to the specific requirements of individual member states and TSXV approval."

Kuida®, the first consumer brand of Khiron's wellness business unit, brings the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) to a comprehensive portfolio of skin and body care products for women. Kuida was launched in Colombia in October 2018 through retail, wholesale and online channels and is now available nationwide and through e-commerce channels. As the Company expands Kuida® distribution in Europe, the brand will be a featured exhibitor at Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2020, which attracted over 265,000 visitors in 2019 and is the largest such event to learn more about market leading products and to place orders.

The company also participated in the Open Parliament held by Senate of Mexico on the theme of "Towards Cannabis Regulation," which took place through August 2019 and September 2019. As a Latin American cannabis leader with a strong presence in Mexico, Khiron joined both open forum sessions and a committee of experts to engage in dialogue and provide input on the building blocks of the country's new regulatory framework.

PharmaCielo Ltd. (TSXV:PCLO) (OTC: PHCEF), whose anticipated acquisition of Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") listed Creso Pharma will establish a global medicinal cannabis company positioned to rapidly develop new markets and grow sales in the expanded footprint served by the combined company, recently announced key developments in respect of its acquisition originally announced on June 6, 2019. Creso Pharma has informed the Company that it has received approval from the Supreme Court of Western Australia to convene meetings of its shareholders and listed option holders, and if thought fit, to approve the Schemes of Arrangement whereby PharmaCielo would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares and listed options of Creso Pharma. The Meetings will be held on November 11, 2019, beginning at 10:00AM (Perth time).

The Board of Directors of Creso Pharma continue to unanimously recommend that Creso Pharma Shareholders and the Creso Pharma Optionholders vote in favour of the proposed Schemes of Arrangement, in the absence of a superior proposal for Creso Pharma.

David Attard, CEO of PharmaCielo commented, "PharmaCielo's acquisition of Creso Pharma, creates a combined company that has operational excellence across the value chain. The quality and scale of PharmaCielo's cultivation and extraction compliments Creso Pharma's product development and extensive developed global sales channels. With the Creso Pharma acquisition and our recently announced agreement to export CBD into the United States , 2020 is going to be an exciting year for PharmaCielo shareholders."
PharmaCielo expects that the combined company will be well-positioned to drive significant value for both existing PharmaCielo and Creso Pharma shareholders.

PharmaCielo has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for the issuance of common shares of PharmaCielo to Creso Pharma Shareholders and Creso Pharma Optionholders in order to effect the Schemes of Arrangement. The effective date of the Schemes of Arrangement is expected to be November 13, 2019; and the closing date of the acquisition is expected to be November 22, 2019.

With the growing international acceptance of the cannabis industry, companies with strongly established infrastructure in key global trade areas will become more of an essential asset as the industry moves further towards global standards and sales.

Investor Ideas #Potcasts; #Cannabis News and #Stocks on the Move: Interview with Tim Conder, COO of Tilt Holdings Inc. (CSE: $TILT.C)



Delta, Kelowna, BC –October 28, 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:



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

In today’s podcast I interview Tim Conder, the COO of Tilt Holdings Inc. (CSE: TILT) (OTCQB: TLLTF), where we discussed some of the company’s more recent news developments as well as the cannabis industry as a whole.

The company just recently announced the appointment of Tim Conder, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and co-founder of supply-chain technology and operations asset Blackbird Logistics Corporation, to the Company’s Board of Directors.

While serving as COO of the Company, Mr. Conder has been instrumental in implementing foundational changes to the Company that have led to increased revenue, specifically in the Company’s plant-touching assets, as well as guiding the integration of technology asset Baker Technologies Inc. into Blackbird.

TILT Holdings serves cannabis brands worldwide through a strong network of portfolio companies committed to technological innovations that support long-term success. TILT services more than 2,000 brands and cannabis retailers across 33 states in the U.S., as well as in Canada, Israel, Mexico, South America and the European Union. As a market leader in cannabis technology and related products and services, the Company’s core assets include wholly-owned subsidiaries Jupiter, a company that focuses on the vast potential of inhalation through innovative design, development and manufacturing; Blackbird, a company that provides operations and software solutions for wholesale and retail distribution; and Baker, a CRM platform helping dispensaries grow their business. The Company also owns cannabis operations in states including Massachusetts, led by Commonwealth Alternative Care, Inc.; and in Pennsylvania, led by Standard Farms, LLC. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with offices throughout the U.S., and London, TILT has over 400 employees and has sales in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

The company also recently announced that its plant-touching operating asset Commonwealth Alternative Care received local approval(i) for adult-use cannabis sales at its retail store in Taunton, Massachusetts.

CAC began selling cannabis to patients through the Massachusetts Medical Use of Marijuana program in August of 2018. Legislation in Massachusetts was passed in late 2016 legalizing adult-use cannabis although the program faced delays and sales only began in November of 2018. CAC has been working closely with local regulatory bodies and the state’s Cannabis Control Commission (“CCC”) in order to process an application to allow Massachusetts residents above the age of 21 to purchase cannabis products at its retail outlet in Taunton. The approval is conditional pending completion of a few milestones for CAC as well as final approval from the CCC, which the Company hopes to receive in the coming months.

With almost 7 million residents, the Massachusetts cannabis market is expected to exceed $1 billion by next year. The Company has a noteworthy early-mover advantage in this “limited-license” market as one of the first to have vertically integrated operations from its production facility in the same city.

When asked about what investors can look for in the coming months in the cannabis sector and from Tilt Holdings specifically, Tim commented, “I think from the cannabis sector in general, investors can look for long term/ rapid growth. I think cannabis is still the fastest growing industry in the world and I don’t see that slowing down anytime soon. For Tilt Holdings specifically, we’re looking to hitch our wagon to that growth through our software services and hardware offerings. I think investors can expect to see from Tilt, a refined focus around technology and innovation and our continued scaling to support brands worldwide.”
