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.
In
today’s podcast we look at a few public announcements.
But
first, a team of Canadian cannabis industry professionals have
launched the world's first public relations agency focused on
cannabis, psychedelics and other emerging regulated markets - all with
heightened transparency not often seen in traditional PR.
Along
with years of combined experience working in the regulated Canadian cannabis
sector, the company's team is ushering in a new approach to PR services with
four core values: transparency, authenticity, accountability, and consistently
driving value.
Alan
Aldous will offer services in communications and marketing for emerging and
regulated markets, including full-spectrum public relations support, search
engine optimization, media outreach, and the development of corporate social
responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
As
emerging markets mature in Canada and abroad, brands realize that the
one-size-fits-all PR agency model, with increasingly uncontrollable monthly
retainers, may no longer make sense.
Unlike
most PR firms, Alan Aldous offers a transparent quote builder on its
website, so brands can determine an approximate budget for their desired PR services
- on a per campaign basis with no exclusivity contracts.
The
name "Alan Aldous" is a nod to two highly-inquisitive famous authors,
Alan Watts and Aldous Huxley. Both of these extraordinarily forward-thinking
writers focused on psychedelic content in their works and advanced the world
towards better human understanding.
Alan
Aldous has developed one of the most comprehensive private media contact
databases within the cannabis and psychedelics industry.
Zenabis Global Inc.
(TSX:ZENA) announced details
of its cannabis derivative product strategy and execution, including entering
into an agreement with a Canadian beverage manufacturer to produce a range of
cannabis-infused beverages.
Highlights:
●
In December 2019, Zenabis signed a
definitive agreement with HYTN Beverages Inc. to produce a range of cannabis-infused
beverages at Zenabis Stellarton.
●
The initial launch of cannabis-infused
sparkling water beverages under the HYTN brand are listed with all Zenabis'
Provincial counterparties, with strong indicative demand. First shipment of the
initial four flavours of the cannabis-infused sparkling water beverages
expected in Q2 2020.
●
Zenabis executed its first production run
of vape cartridges for the PAX Labs Inc. Era vaporizer device range. The
initial run was immediately sold to three provincial partners. The first
provincial shipments commenced on 5 February, 2020.
●
Zenabis Atholville's extraction lab is
currently operating at 400 kg of biomass per month, and is expected to reach
steady state in March 2020. The intent is to use cannabis extracts from Zenabis
Atholville in Zenabis' cannabis derivative products once extraction reaches
steady state.
HYTN
is in the process of installing its own beverage production line in Zenabis
Stellarton, with commission expected to be completed by March 2020. Zenabis
will supply the requisite cannabis extracts and provide coast to coast
distribution with the company's provincial counterparties. The intent is to
launch a series of cannabis-infused sparkling water beverages under the HYTN
brand with future beverage products planned to the extent that is justified by
market conditions and demand.
"We
are happy to announce a new addition to the Canadian cannabis 2.0 market. We
are working with a partner that has experience successfully formulating new
beverage options in the Canadian market. The combination of HYTN's beverage
manufacturing expertise with our high-quality cannabis extracts allows Zenabis
to provide consumers with a new line of high-quality cannabis-infused
beverages," commented Kevin Coft, Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis.
"Initial indicative demand from our provincial partners is strong and we
hope to have these products into their supply chains in Q2 2020. This will make
Zenabis one of the first licensed producers to bring cannabis-infused beverages
to the Canadian market."
BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE:
BEV)
(OTCQB:BVNNF) announced that it
has entered into a definitive joint venture agreement with Mota Ventures Corp. (CSE:MOTA) (OTC:
PEMTF), to exclusively distribute BevCanna's hemp-derived
cannabidiol (CBD) products in the European market.
The
Joint Venture will initially launch BevCanna's "LEV" line of
fruit-forward lightly sparkling CBD-infused spring water beverages and
water-soluble powders. The beverages
will also utilize BevCanna's proprietary method of nano-delivery of
cannabinoids, a unique technology that produces a rapid onset time for the
cannabinoids. The JV will launch
additional products over the life of the five-year agreement.
Under
the agreement, BevCanna and Mota have agreed to share equal ownership in the
Joint Venture and be jointly responsible for developing and funding its
operations. In addition to capital,
BevCanna has agreed to contribute proprietary brands, product formulations,
formulas for nano-encapsulated water-soluble powders, and marketing and
manufacturing expertise to the Joint Venture. Mota has agreed to provide
manufacturing, marketing and distribution infrastructure in the European
market.
"We're
eager to launch our CBD products in the European market," said John
Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer of BevCanna. "Infused beverages are a
great way to enjoy cannabidiol in a familiar, appealing consumption format,
while also being non-carcinogenic and more socially friendly than other
formats. We're also excited to employ our proprietary nano-technology in our
beverages, which is more bioavailable and produces a rapid onset time."
The
company also
announced that it is significantly expanding its manufacturing
premises, in anticipation of the Company receiving its standard processing
license and initiating full-scale commercialization this year.
Pursuant
to a second amendment agreement dated February 14, 2020, BevCanna's current
5,235 square foot of dedicated cannabis production premises has doubled to
10,378 square feet.
"This
expansion is an exciting step for BevCanna," said John Campbell, Chief
Strategy Officer at BevCanna. "We expect to receive our standard
processing license imminently, and we're preparing to initiate full-scale
production in the coming months. We've seen a fantastic consumer and industry
response to the upcoming Canadian beverage market, and this development ensures
that we have capacity and full product offerings to fulfil the anticipated
demand."
The Green Organic
Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF), a
leading producer of premium certified organic cannabis, announced that it
has secured a research licence from Health Canada. Valid for five years, the Licence allows TGOD
to reduce the cost and accelerate the pace at which it develops new products by
eliminating reliance on third parties.
"As
consumers become increasingly aware that not all cannabis products are created
equal, we want to ensure that TGOD continues to go to market with consumables
that bear a seal of premium quality that they can trust," commented Brian
Athaide, CEO of TGOD. "By
leveraging the expertise of our in-house Science and Marketing teams, we are
able to optimize costs and accelerate our speed to market. In parallel, we are also layering on
additional quality control measures ensuring a high level of consistency across
all our product lines."
TGOD
also intends to leverage the newly awarded Licence to complete the development
of additional premium cannabis 2.0 products, which are expected to launch later
this year.
James E. Wagner
Cultivation Corporation (TSX:
JWCA.V) (OTCQX:
JWCAF), announced that it
has entered into a Master Cannabis Supply Agreement effective February 6, 2020,
with the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, operating as the Ontario Cannabis
Store. This agreement marks the launch of JWC’s products for sale into the
recreational market.
The
agreement provides the framework for JWC to supply its aeroponically grown
cannabis products to the OCS, making them available for purchase through the
OCS online store and nearly 30 private retail stores across Ontario.
“In
signing an agreement with the OCS, we are able to realize our goal of joining
one of the largest recreational cannabis markets in the industry,” says Nathan
Woodworth, JWC President and CEO. “Our products have a reputation for
consistency and flavour. We will be introducing new products in different
formats to service a wide range of lifestyles.”
As
announced in its press release dated November 20, 2019, JWC is also working
with Kindred Partners Inc. to offer
products for sale in Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. Kindred is a specialty
brokerage and services company for cannabis products.
Each
of JWC’s cultivars are grown exclusively using the Corporation’s proprietary
GrowthSTORM™ aeroponic technology, recognized for producing clean, consistent
cannabis. JWC is on track to produce a total of over 35,000 kg of dried
cannabis per year once its JWC2 cultivation facility, located at 530 Manitou
Drive, Kitchener, Ontario, is fully operational.

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.
In today’s podcast Investorideas interview Matt
Markiewicz, the Managing Director of The Cannabis ETF (NYSE:
THCX), where we discussed how the market, as
well as the ETF, has evolved and changed since Investorideas previous interview
with Matt, as well where there is potential growth and optimism looking ahead
at the cannabis space.
When asked about how the negative press and
financial results over the past few months have impacted the ETF as well as the
cannabis market, Markiewicz commented, “In terms of the impact on the ETF,
we’re down nearly 13% and a lot of that has been driven by the sell off in the
larger LP’s because we do have an overweight position in Canopy, Cronos,
Tilray, Organigram and Aphria. They are the bell-weathers of the industry. They
give the investor the best peak into what’s going on in the cannabis industry
in Canada and it’s been a rough go over the past few months. There has been a
lot of news flow in the sector, and it’s not been great news obviously, but it
is needed from the perspective of the costs needing to be more aligned with
where the growth rate is looking to go in Canada, especially in the medium
term, and this reckoning is something that had to happen for several months
now.”
Markiewicz also went on to discuss the roles of
the CEO in some of the larger LP’s, as there has been a consistent theme of
management change over in the last year, saying “I think change is oftentimes a
little bit shocking to people, but in these cases, and I think we will see more
by the way, change was necessary. You have to remember that a lot of these
cannabis companies are newly minted public companies so there is a certain type
of behaviour that needs to be followed. They have a fiduciary duty to
shareholders, that is their main objective, especially for boards on a lot of
these companies. They’re thinking about how we best serve shareholders.
Internally change can be hard to embrace, but externally for shareholders it's
necessary, especially when things aren’t working. A lot of the problems in the
industry are well outside management control in Canada at this point, and these
C-level executives can’t control market dynamics, but they can control the
messaging and the expectations that are built around growth for the industry
and those companies.”
When asked about the total impact these
management changes have had on the industry as well as the stock market,
Markiewicz commented, “These changes that have been announced over the past
couple of weeks in the industry haven’t really managed to instill any investor
confidence from the standpoint of moving the stocks higher.”
Markiewicz went on to discuss new opportunities
when looking at international markets, growth in the ancillary services sector
of the industry, the rollout of Candian cannabis retail, Cannabis 2.0 sales, as
well as the new opportunities that may arise as more companies are able to
uplist and go public.

Matt Markiewicz from August here and November here.
