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 will be looking at a few public and private company announcements.
The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTC: TGODF), a leading producer of premium certified organically grown cannabis, announced the launch of RIPPLE Gummies by TGOD, Canada's first cannabis-infused confectionary product to offer a scientifically validated 15-minute onset. They will initially be available in Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba, with plans to expand distribution across the country once provincial listings are received.
RIPPLE Gummies are made using certified organically grown cannabis, real fruit juice and all-natural flavours and colours. Each pack contains two precisely dosed 5mg THC-gummies for a total of 10mg, the maximum allowed under Canada's Cannabis Act.
RIPPLE Gummies leverage the same fast-acting proprietary technology used in quick-dissolving RIPPLE powder, which rapidly became one of the top-selling SKUs within the cannabis beverage category due to its scientifically validated 15-minute onset, a first in Canada.
"Canadian cannabis consumers love our quick-dissolving RIPPLE powder for its proven dose-controlled delivery mechanism; it offers a faster-acting, more standardized, and discreet alternative to most products currently on the market. With RIPPLE Gummies, we are bringing to market another proven product which has been a top seller where sold in the United States," commented Sean Bovingdon, TGOD's Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer. "RIPPLE Gummies offer another convenient option for Canadians to consume their desired dose of cannabinoids with a unique, predictable onset of action."
As part of its licensing agreement with Stillwater, TGOD plans to further expand its RIPPLE offering with additional flavours Honey Infusion CBD and Mango Balance, scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2021.

The oversubscribed Offering included demand from both institutional and retail investors and significantly expanded the Company's ownership base through the addition of over 1,000 new shareholders.
The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Offering to expand its retail footprint, pursue accretive acquisitions, and help position and solidify Gage as the leading cannabis brand in the state of Michigan.
"We are humbled and excited by the significant interest and investor demand we received for our oversubscribed Reg A financing," said Fabian Monaco, President of Gage. "Michigan is one of the fastest growing cannabis markets in the United States, and Gage is well positioned with a robust balance sheet to continue to grow our market share as the leading operator with the best brands in the state. This is a great first step in our journey to becoming a publicly-traded company, and we're excited to continue to drive long-term shareholder value."

Neuraxpharm Group (Neuraxpharm), a leading European specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the central nervous system (CNS), today announced that its affiliate Neuraxpharm France has been selected as one of winners for the participation in a pilot program for the medical use of cannabis issued by The French National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM), together with Panaxia Labs, Israel's largest medical cannabis manufacturer.
Neuraxpharm emerged as one of the first European pharmaceutical companies to include medical cannabis products in its portfolio, with a business collaboration starting last year for Germany, the largest cannabis market outside the USA. Now, as part of its strategic collaboration with Panaxia to enter the French market in the first phase, the companies submitted a joint application for the pilot program issued by ANSM. The program is based upon strict and demanding specifications in terms of compliance with good cultivation and manufacturing practices, the quality of the drugs and the safety of the distribution channel. France is the fifth largest pharmaceutical and CNS market in the world [1], and the country is known to have the strictest regulation in the Western world with regard to medical cannabis use. With a population of about 67 million, according to recent estimates there are about 700,000 patients in France who may be eligible for a prescription of a medical cannabis treatment.
Along with Neuraxpharm and Panaxia, three of the world's leading medical cannabis companies were selected as main suppliers for this pilot program, emphasizing Neuraxpharm's status as a leading player in the European medical cannabis market. As part of the program, four finished products were selected that have successfully met the stringent ANSM requirements in relation to finished products. They include the oral formulations in both the THC and CBD dominant forms together with the balanced THC / CBD formulations. The list of indications compiled by the ANSM includes diseases such as cancer, certain types of epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, palliative care and pain, where conventional treatments don't work.
This selection paves the way for supplying medical cannabis in state-of-the-art formulations to the patient, which will allow the effective start of the pilot program on March 31, 2021 at the latest. Monitoring of compliance and quality of the products supplied will continue throughout the pilot program.
The prestigious medical cannabis pilot program intends to provide free products to enrolled patients.
It will last two years and provide medical cannabis products to 3,000 patients who meet the determined criteria. Selected doctors, nurses and pharmacists participating in this program will undergo special training in registering and issuing medical cannabis prescriptions to patients. At the end, a decision will be made by the French Authorities regarding a license for the use and sale of medical cannabis products in France.
Dr. Jörg-Thomas Dierks, CEO of Neuraxpharm, commented: "We are excited to have been awarded and selected to participate in this pilot program for the medical cannabis use in France, a significant market in the fast-growing international medical cannabis sector. As one of the first pharmaceutical companies to distribute medical cannabis products in Europe, we are ideally positioned, in partnership with Panaxia, to responsibly introduce medical cannabis products to new markets, in line with our corporate mission to offer ground-breaking therapeutic CNS solutions to patients with unmet medical needs. We are confident that France will lead the way for other countries to embrace the use of medical cannabis in the coming years."
