420 with CNW – Marijuana Companies Look to Europe for Greener Pastures

Marijuana companies in North America are experiencing lots of trouble, and companies that are looking to reap profits from cannabis are suffering from significant losses. In the meantime, European companies such as World High Life PLC are basking in the new opportunities brought by the emerging marijuana industry.

The marijuana sector needs a fresh look because its markets remain unattractive despite the changes in equity valuation and investor attitudes.

Canopy Growth holds the blue-chip marijuana market leader position. Before Constellation Brands Inc. acquired its first stake in 2017, Canopy Growth had already secured a significant amount of funds.  A few days before marijuana was legalized in Canada; Canopy Growth shares increased by $55.45 (C$73.75). However, the stock price has dropped by 73% since then, and within the past six months, the company recorded the highest losses ever.

Canopy Growth shares were valued at $18 billion (C$24 billion) by the stock market at the end of April 2019. At the moment, the value at the stock market has dropped to less than $5.2 billion (C$7billion). Compared to the first quarter, the company’s sales were down 15% in the second quarter.

Apart from Canopy, other companies suffering from the downturn in marijuana market are Aphria Inc. whose shares have fallen 59% since April, and Aurora Cannabis Inc. whose shares have fallen 76% since the end of the first quarter of 2019. In the marijuana sector, companies are struggling with declining liquid assets, expensive operations, and shareholder attenuation.

On Tuesday, some pot stocks recorded a rise. Companies like the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences (ETF), which holds dozens of marijuana stocks recorded a 4.9% increase in stock trading. This suggests that investors are beginning to see the opportunities in marijuana stocks. Canopy stock also recorded a rise of $1.53, which is equivalent to 8.2%.

The marijuana market in North America is struggling with a fall in stock prices and surplus marijuana; however, the investors are investing more and more in the European emerging marijuana industry since they do not want to miss out on the new opportunity.

In a few years, the new frontier market in Europe may become the most significant market around the globe. It is estimated that by 2029, the medical marijuana market in Europe and the UK will be worth approximately $64.2 billion (£58 billion).

One of the companies that have taken full advantage of the emerging cannabis market in the UK is the World High Life PLC. The company plans to become a world leader in the global medical cannabis market as the industry evolves in the UK and Europe.

World High Life PLC finds and purchases marijuana companies in the UK and different European countries, thus creating a portfolio of companies with the capability of being top players in the marijuana industry. Investors are aware that buying a single stock in WHL gives you access to all the shares in the company.

The new frontier market gives investors and organizations a new chance to invest in the marijuana industry since they did not initially invest when marijuana was first legalized in Canada.

Experts think it may not be long before we witness an influx of companies like No Borders Inc. (OTC: NBDR) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) into the European market as a way of getting a piece of the offshore marijuana pie.

420 with CNW – President Trump Thinks Drug Prohibition is Doomed to Failure

During a vaping discussion held on Friday, President Donald Trump voiced his acknowledgment of the failure of policies banning drugs. He said that prohibiting access to drugs such as cigarettes, alcohol would only force consumers to acquire them through illegal routes.

During the meeting, the president met with both the supporters and opposers to debate on whether to endorse restrictive policies like banning of flavored vaping products, a proposal that was brought up by his administration.

President Trump further said that banning vaping products will force people to buy from the black market where they might buy products laced with poison instead of safe products.

In the face of the recent outbreak of vaping-related lung injuries, some policymakers and marijuana prohibitionists expressed their support for a total ban on selected vaping products. In response, marijuana advocates said that doing that would cause more harm than good.

President Trump responded to these remarks and asked them how they were going to solve the fact that after banning the vaping products, people would later ship them from Mexico – which is the problem they are currently facing with drugs and everything else that is illegal.

Trump’s remarks echo some comments he made back in 1990, when he voiced his support for drug legalization to weaken the black market. At the time, he said that America is losing the war against drugs, and for them to win, drugs must be legalized so that profits can be seized from the drug lords.

During the meeting held on Friday, marijuana did not crop up, but President Trump’s stand could be applied to the debate on contaminated THC cartridges, which are the primary source of the outbreak of vaping-related lung injuries. Marijuana prohibitionists argue that the outbreaks should be a valid reason for not legalizing weed. However, health agencies working under the Trump administration said that the majority of the THC-cases involved unregulated products bought from the illegal market.

Advocates of marijuana reforms argued that marijuana should be legalized to deter people from buying products from the illicit market, which was where most people who suffered from the vaping injuries obtained the products. Just like alcohol and tobacco, marijuana should have a legal and regulatory framework.

Scott Gottlieb, who is the former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, said that in light of the recent vaping illnesses outbreak, there is a need for a federal regulatory system for the marijuana market.

Trump was in favor of harm reduction in vaping products. According to an expert, vaping is less dangerous than smoking combustible cigarettes.

On several occasions, the president has expressed his support for states to set their marijuana policies. In August, Trump said that the legalization of marijuana reforms is a big subject, and right now, states are allowed to make their decision.

The jury is still out on how far-reaching President Trump’s comments will be, but experts don’t expect marijuana companies like ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) and LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV) to read so much into these comments made during this meeting.

HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC), a hemp-biomass processing entity, recently completed its 19,000-square-foot facility in Port Lajord and is anticipating the arrival of its initial new extraction equipment in December 2019. An article discussing the company reads, “Installation of the extraction and formulation equipment will mark the next major stage for the company’s strategy of building on hemp biomass tolling contracts on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border to extract CBD full-spectrum oil (‘FSO’) and to keep a percentage of the distillate for future sales and offtake agreements, including sales to the cannabinoid pharmaceutical market. Bought-deal, private-placement financing that closed last month is injecting aggregate gross proceeds of C$10 million into the venture (http://cnw.fm/9JGzx). . . . The Port Lajord facility has been designed to be one of the highest performance facilities in Canada for hemp-biomass processing, extraction, formulation and refining, and interior work is ongoing to establish it as GMP Euro compliant. It will also house quality assurance testing and product development laboratories.”

420 with CNW – 5 Banking Options Marijuana Companies Can Explore

Every month, many marijuana companies across the U.S. have to move physical cash from their premises in order to pay for utilities and other needed supplies and this is a common practice among marijuana businesses. Although marijuana is legal in most states in the U.S., banks that are federally insured have prohibited the opening of accounts for cannabis businesses. This is because they are afraid of being accused of criminal activity since federally, marijuana is a controlled substance under Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act.

The refusal of banks to conduct business with weed businesses has left them with no alternative but to operate on a cash basis. For example, NUG is licensed to cultivate and manufacture marijuana products in its facilities in California, and since it cannot deposit the money in the banks, the only way to safeguard it is to keep it in locked vaults.

The founder and CEO of NUG, John Oram, said that the company headquarters is set up like a casino as it has vaults and electric notes counters. He also noted that a minimum of two employees must be present when a transaction is taking place. Oram further said that the company hired armed guards for cash deliveries from the dispensaries and the guards are also cautioned to switch up their routes to avoid predictability.  NUG has 200 employees who are paid in cash. Taxes are also paid in cash.

Oram is hoping to start working with Pacific Banking Corporation to alleviate transacting on a cash basis. Some of the methods marijuana business could use to avoid operating on a cash-only basis include:

PayQwick

PayQwick was formed by two attorneys, and it functions like PayPal. Businesses and customers deposit money into a system that allows them to transact back and forth. It also permits money transfers to and from banks. Farmers can use the app to pay for seeds and soils, while customers can pay for products at the dispensary. The app allows the transfer of money across state lines and takes on the responsibility of federal compliance, such as due diligence and compilation of suspicious activity reports.

CanPay

CanPay is a mobile debit app that is widely used by marijuana retailers and businesses. Customers do not pay extra fees upon making a purchase, and customers can only transact at a maximum of $250 per day. Every time a purchase is made, the same amount is debited in your checking account. Currently, 400 medical and recreational marijuana businesses are transacting using the app.

Hypur

Hypur provides banking institutions with a legitimate way of transacting with highly regulated industries, such as the marijuana industry, through an electronic app. Hypur matches cannabis businesses with banks or credit unions since it has every detail about the financial institutions.

Dama Financial

Dama Financial has a network of all banks that are insured by the FDIC that are interested in transacting with marijuana businesses. The business looking to work with the bank must fill in an online application and agree to an on-site inspection. Once approved, Dama manages the company’s banking services, and this includes transportation of cash to the processing facility and receiving the deposits via ACH wire. The money is deposited in the company’s account the following day.

Local Banks and Credit Unions

Some small banks are open to conducting business with well-organized weed businesses, although many are still wary of marijuana businesses. You can therefore do your homework and find one of these small institutions that can accept your cannabis business as a client.

These options should ease the pressure on marijuana entities like The Green organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN) who may need backup arrangements in case banks pull the plug on them.

420 with CNW – Washington State University Teams Up With Pot Company to Study Medical Marijuana

On November 6, one of the universities which was granted federal land by the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890, Washington State University, announced that it would be partnering with Biopharmaceutical Research Company (BRC) to advance the research on medical marijuana and its impacts. BRC is a pharmaceutical company registered with the DEA.

Washington State University issued a press release saying that it partnered with the pharmaceutical company to launch an innovative study to evaluate marijuana and speed up the pace of marijuana research. The partnership will give the WSU scientists access to marijuana for research purposes while adhering to the federal regulations on cannabis.

The partnership will also enable WSU researchers to use BRC analytical services and knowledge to study the effect of marijuana on the physical and mental health of the consumers. It will also explore the impact of marijuana policies on public health and safety.

The Chair of Washington State University (WSU) Collaborative for Cannabis Policy, Research, and Outreach (CCPRO), Dr. Michael McDonnell, said that compared to other drugs, very little is known about the benefits and risks of marijuana. And for the researchers to obtain the pot they need to research its health effects on animals and humans, they must overcome several hurdles. Dr. McDonnell further said that WSU’s partnership with BRC would solve the problem of acquiring weed since BRC would provide them with marijuana for research purposes through federally compliant processes.

For the past 50-plus years, researchers have been allowed to source for marijuana for clinical trials from the University of Mississippi farm, which is federally approved and operated by the National Institute of Drug Abuse.

This is outright monopolization that leads to limited access to cannabis by the researchers, which then slows the progression of marijuana studies for years. In 2019, the federal government announced its plans to increase the number of producers cultivating marijuana for scientific research.

The collaboration between WSU and BRC is expected to help in addressing the importance of easy access to quality marijuana for research purposes; however, neither of the two entities is allowed to grow cannabis.

The Biopharmaceutical Research Company (BRC) CEO George Hodgin said that working with a reputable research institution such as WSU guarantees that they will be working with the best researchers in discovering the benefits of the pot products. It will also make sure that BRC is taking care of its responsibilities of ensuring public safety. Hodgin further said that the products have shown a great deal of potential by treating a variety of health conditions such as PTSD and chronic pain, yet the lack of federally-approved research in the U.S. is highly evident.

BRC applied for a cultivation permit in 2016, and if granted, the company would be in position to grow and produce marijuana and marijuana-derived products for research.

Analysts say this research is a welcome activity in the eyes of marijuana companies like Grapefruit Boulevard Investments Inc. (OTCQB: IGNG) and Dama Financial since the research findings will provide further proof of the therapeutic value of marijuana.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) Set to Profit from FDA’s MRTP Pathway Announcement

Lexaria Bioscience (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP), a global innovator with technology that has demonstrated its ability to enhance the oral delivery of nicotine, is positioned to benefit from the FDA’s recent announcement that it had authorized the marketing of eight smokeless tobacco products through the modified-risk, tobacco-product (“MRTP”) pathway (http://cnw.fm/PaC87). An article discussing the company reads, “The FDA approval of the ‘modified risk’ claims was made after reviewing scientific evidence submitted by the manufacturer of the products. The approvals, which are product specific and expire after five years, do not mean the products come with no health risks. Nicotine-based products are addictive and may, according to some studies, induce the onset of cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders. . . . The patented DehydraTECH(TM) drug-delivery platform mitigates a serious limitation to nicotine ingestion. The human GI system struggles to process nicotine in the forms in which it is presently offered, one reason why there are currently no edible, nicotine, manufactured products available, although some natural foods — eggplant, green pepper, potato, tomato — do contain nicotine. However, DehydraTECH employs a delivery mechanism that improves the bioabsorption and bioavailability of many ingestible substances, as well as their taste and smell, by using lipophilic agents. Application of the technology extends beyond nicotine to nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, vitamins and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).”

About Lexaria Bioscience Corp.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. is a global innovator in drug-delivery platforms. Its patented DehydraTECH drug-delivery technology changes the way active pharmaceutical ingredients enter the bloodstream, promoting healthier ingestion methods, lower overall dosing and higher effectiveness for lipophilic active molecules. DehydraTECH increases bioabsorption, reduces time of onset and masks unwanted tastes for orally administered bioactive molecules including cannabinoids, vitamins, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (“NSAIDs”), nicotine and other molecules. Lexaria has licensed DehydraTECH to multiple companies in the cannabis industry for use in cannabinoid beverages, edibles and oral products, as well as to a world-leading tobacco producer for the development of smokeless, oral-based nicotine products.
