Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast - following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today is legalization day here in Canada and a historic event for the Cannabis industry which has been much celebrated by many a cannabis company this morning.
Not only is this a massive step forward in the social and political aspect of Cannabis but is a significant milestone for those Cannabis companies brave enough to be the first through the door. Looking back one year ago this day at some of the key Cannabis companies we can see how much has changed just even in stock prices.
Aurora (TSX: ACB) was trading at $2.77 and is now at $13.24,
Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED) was trading at $12.72 and now is at $62.80,
Aphrtia (TSX:APH) was trading at $6.86 and now is at $19.69
Namaste (CSE:N) was trading at $0.21 and now is at $2.44.
To quote The Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, "The implementation of this progressive public policy marks an important shift in our country's approach to cannabis. With a strictly regulated market for adults, we will help keep cannabis out of the hands of youth and profits out of the pockets of criminals. Along with new laws and regulations on cannabis, our Government has also implemented stronger laws on drug- and alcohol-impaired driving. I am very proud that Canada now has one of the toughest impaired driving regimes in the world."
With the coming into force of the Cannabis Act, there are key facts that Canadians need to know:
You must be of legal age (18 or 19 and older, depending on your province or territory) to legally buy, possess or use cannabis.
The Cannabis Act includes strict penalties for selling or providing cannabis to youth under the legal age.
Adults of legal age can possess up to 30 grams of dried legal cannabis or equivalent in non-dried form in public
Legal cannabis has an excise stamp appearing in different colors for each province and territory on product labels.
Under the Cannabis Act, access to cannabis for medical purposes will continue to be provided to those who are authorized by their healthcare practitioner
Today marks an important step forward for Cannabis but there is still quite a large way to go moving forward and here at Investorideas.com Potcasts we will continue to follow the cannabis investment sector as well as important cannabis news to keep you informed.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast - following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today's podcast features an interview with Eugenio Garcia, owner and publisher of HEMP Magazine about the 2018 Farm Bill, the recent collaboration between HEMP Magazine and Whole Foods as well as the Hemp industry as a whole.
Excerpt -
Q: Investorideas.com
Let's talk about the 2018 Farm Bill which hasn't passed yet. What is the Hemp industry expecting from this new farm bill?
Eugenio Garcia
"Once aware of the "Hemp Language" attached to the bill we put the pedal to the metal realizing that once this bill is passed {the Hemp Industry} would go from a growing sector to a unstoppable crescendo. We think that the farm industry is a sleeping giant, but I think the greater population is not even aware of what the farm bill is, let alone that there is Hemp language within the farm bill that will lower the restrictions for farmers access to this plant and for industry to engage with this varietal. and that there will be a massive shift not only in industry and in agriculture but also in the ability for people to scientifically interact with the plant."
The 2018 Farm Bill which includes the Hemp Farming Act of 2018 is expected to pass in the coming month after mid-term elections. The bill would remove industrial hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, making the sale and distribution of hemp products in the United States legal. It would also legalize hemp cultivation, making CBD hemp oil more affordable and accessible for those in need.
Q: Investorideas.com
What are some of the more exciting things you're seeing in the Hemp industry today?
Eugenio Garcia
"One of the sectors I think is about to explode is CBD for pets. We think that the pet industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the nation. Incorporating CBD into the lives of pets is one of the fastest growing subsectors of the Hemp industry today."

India's IAMAI Forms Blockchain Committee, Steve Wozniak Co-founds Blockchain-based Venture Fund EQUI Global, Gemini Dollar Breaks Peg for Brief Spike While Tether Loses Steam, Bitfinex Reportedly with Hong Kong Bank and Huobi to Launch Four Stablecoins

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:AAPL)

The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has formed a blockchain committee, according to the Economic Times. The goal of the group is to help position blockchain technology as a means of job creation in India. The committee's chair, Tina Singh, who is Chief Digital Officer for Mahindra Finance, spoke about the potential of blockchain and the trajectory of the group.
"Blockchain is undeniably the technology of the future, slated to bring decentralization, trust and accountability into multiple areas of business. However, in order to be more effective and enter the mainstream, blockchain technology needs the intervention of government bodies, regulatory authorities and corporates. The IAMAI Blockchain Committee will focus on creating dialogue between all stakeholders; curate and create content to aid skill development and move towards creating a participative economy with the usage of blockchain."
Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple (NasdaqGS:AAPL), was announced via Medium as the co-founder of EQUI Global. EQUI Global is a venture capital fund that utilizes blockchain technology. Wozniak spoke of the progress the venture has already made and its potential.
"We've already got over 20 businesses that we are looking at and we haven't even officially launched yet. It's going to be very exciting. Ultimately, our mission is to seek, support and fund the blockchain and tech stars of tomorrow. EQUI Global is a game-changer".
Crypto exchange Gemini's dollar-pegged Gemini Dollar (GUSD) broke its peg with the US dollar in a big way yesterday. The stablecoin reached as high as $1.19 USD Tuesday after an initial break with its peg on Monday, when it rocketed to $1.14 USD. Conversely, Tether (USDT), perhaps the best known stablecoin, sunk to an 18-month low of $0.92 USD on Sunday night. As Tether's market cap declines its circulating supply is currently 2.2 billion out of 3 billion total supply. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Gemini Dollar and Tether at press time are trading at $1.02 USD and $0.97 USD, respectively.
The Block reports that crypto exchange Bitfinex is now banking with Hong Kong-based Bank of Communications, according to "a source familiar with the matter". This comes after Bitfinex suspended fiat deposits for almost a week and were reportedly banking with HSBC through a private account through Global Trading Solutions. Bitfinex has yet to comment on the matter.
Following a similar announcement from OKEx earlier this week, crypto exchange Huobi will be listing four stablecoins. The exchange will debut deposits of TrueUSD (TUSD), USD//Coin (USDC), Paxos Standard Token (PAX) and Gemini Dollar (GUSD) on Oct 19.

#Payment News: Visa (NYSE: $V) Welcomes 20 new Visa Token Service Partners

Nxt-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: $NXTD) subsidiary Fit Pay, Inc. Named as one of Visa Partners

Investorideas.com - NXT-ID Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD)

Point Roberts, WA - October 17, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in tech and finch investor news issues a payment update following news from Visa Inc. (NYSE:V); "Visa welcomes 20 new Visa Token Service partners who will help scale tokenization to their thousands of merchant clients and millions of customers around the world."
Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) announced the commercial expansion of the Visa Token Service for credential-on-file (COF) token requestors, marking a major milestone towards further securing consumer payments in the digital channel.
"With this expansion, acquirer gateway and technology partners Adyen, AsiaPay, Braintree, Checkout.com, Cherri Tech, CyberSource, Elavon, Ezidebit, eWAY, Fit-Pay, Giesecke & Devrient, PayPal, Payscout, Rambus, SafeCharge, SecureCo, Square, Stripe, Worldpay and YellowPepper are or will soon be able to tokenize credential-on-file digital payments on behalf of their merchant and payment clients."
Nxt-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD) subsidiary Fit Pay, Inc., a proprietary technology platform that delivers end-to-end solutions to device manufacturers for contactless payment capabilities, credential management, authentication and other secure services within the IoT ecosystem, was named as one of the 20 new partners.
"Expanding our platform capabilities to include tokenized credential-on-file and ecommerce transactions significantly increases our addressable market," said Michael Orlando, President of Fit Pay, Inc. and COO of NXT-ID. (NASDAQ: NXTD). "We are very pleased to be a part of Visa's new program, which gives consumers more control of their card data and increases security for the entire payment ecosystem."
More From the news - "Built on top of the EMVCo Payment Tokenization Standard, the Visa Token Service offers another layer of security by replacing sensitive cardholder information, such as personal account numbers and expiration dates, with a unique digital identifier (a "token") that can be used for payment without exposing a cardholder's more sensitive account information. In addition to enhancing security, expired or compromised payment credentials can be seamlessly updated in the background by the financial institution, eliminating a significant point of friction for consumers and merchants."
"Merchants also get the added security protection of being shielded from data breaches that occur elsewhere in the ecosystem since the Visa card number is replaced with a token unique to the merchant or gateway acquirer partner."

#Canada's Legalization of #Cannabis - What it means to the U.S. and the World; DirectView Holdings (OTC: $DIRV), Aphria (TSX: $APH.TO), Aurora (TSX: $ACB.TO), Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO), Tilray (NASDAQ: $TLRY)


New York, NY and Delta, BC - October 17, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering security and cannabis stocks releases a sector snapshot as the industry realizes a significant milestone with the official legalization in Canada today on a federal level. Experts and thought leaders weigh in on this historic event giving insight as to what this means to the U.S. and global markets and their companies.
"Canadians are expected to spend as much as $7.17 billion on cannabis products in 2019 and increase their overall consumption by up to 35 per cent once recreational cannabis is legalized," according to a report by Deloitte. "Legal recreational cannabis sales could generate up to $4.34 billion in sales, accounting for more than half of total cannabis sales but the illegal market could still be worth more than $1 billion a year."
From Deloitte's news, "Canada is in a unique position as the first G7 country on the cusp of legalizing recreational cannabis," said Mark Whitmore, Vice Chair and Global Leader, Deloitte Private. "The move to legalize recreational cannabis has sparked a wave of innovation and entrepreneurship, similar to Canada's technology sector which will create jobs for Canadians, new opportunities for businesses and revenues for governments."
Seeing new opportunities, Roger Ralston, CEO and Chairman of DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV), a video surveillance solutions technology company that recently announced its expansion in the cannabis sector said "The legalization of cannabis in Canada this week is a huge step for the country and the sector. The decision comes with a lot of responsibility for all involved."
He went on to say "For businesses dealing in cannabis/CBD, safety and security is of the upmost importance and a legal requirement. This also has the potential to accelerate legalization here in the United States. We anticipate the legalization will spark the security and surveillance industry and DirectView stands ready to meet the needs in security and surveillance requirements of all industries, including the cannabis industry. We further see other security related needs such as guard services, armored vehicles for movements of cash and products increasing greatly."
Altitude Investment Management in a released statement noted, "Canada is the second country in the world, after Uruguay, to legalize cannabis for both medical purposes and adult use and it is the first country in North America to do so," observed Jon Trauben, partner at Altitude.
He added, "We believe that the legalization in Canada offers a roadmap to invest in the companies that will form the basis of the legal cannabis industry in the coming years. Altitude Investment Management's portfolio strategy rests on this premise, and we are confident that the growth of the legalized industry will continue to provide compelling investment opportunities globally."
HEMP Magazine publisher, Eugenio Garcia shared his thoughts with Investor Ideas on Canada's legalization saying, "Legalization in Canada will now allow all of its people access to the CBD products they are looking for without needing to have a doctor's recommendation. This will be especially helpful in regard to products that use the "entourage" effect and blend both high CBD levels with THC percentages."
When asked how public companies like Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED.TO) (NYSE: CGC), Aurora Cannabis Inc. ( TSX: ACB.TO( OTC: ACBFF) and Cronos Group are influencing the stock market and the economy as well as the future of the cannabis industry, he said, "These companies and the activity of investment around them have sent the valuations of these companies and others in the space into way above realistic levels. That being equal the exposer in the mainstream media of such large amounts of real money being put into the cannabis space is having a positive effect on the "normalization" of the industry from a main stream perception aspect."
Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY) was one of the first companies to be licensed to produce medical cannabis in Canada and was the first licensed producer of medical cannabis in the world to have its facility Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certified in accordance with European Medicine Agency (EMA) standards. The company currently serves thousands of patients, physicians, pharmacies, governments, hospitals and researchers in eight countries, spanning four continents, through its affiliated entities in Australia and New Zealand (Tilray Australia New Zealand Pty Ltd), Canada (Tilray Canada Ltd), Germany (Tilray Deutschland GmbH) and Portugal (Tilray Portugal Unipessoal Lda).
As legalization expands globally, one of Canada's noted leaders also has its footprint beyond the Canadian borders. Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHand US OTC: APHQF), announced yesterday, "It commends the Government of the United Kingdom for its decision last week to legalize medical cannabis. The Company is pleased to also announce that is has formed an alliance with noted UK-based neurologist and rehabilitation physician Professor Michael Barnes, MD, FRCP, a leading voice on medical cannabis policy in Europe."
From the news, "I applaud the UK government for taking this step to legalize medical cannabis," said Vic Neufeld, Chief Executive Officer of Aphria. "It's great news for patients in need across the UK and represents another major milestone in the advancement of medical cannabis around the world."
Bottom line; today's Canadian legalization is historic but the global shift to legalization is the biggest story for investors.

#Cannabisstocks: American Premium Water Corp. (OTC: $HIPH) Announces Development of Hydro Nano Infused #THC-#Cannabis #Beverage Prototype

Continues discussions with Canadian distributors and U.S. dispensaries, leveraging legalization and geographical advantage as highlight of marketing strategies


PLAYA VISTA, California - October 17, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) announces that it has created a prototype tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-infused beverage utilizing the Company's hydro-nano technology, and that it is engaged in discussions with Canadian distributors and U.S. dispensaries. Upon official launch, American Premium expects to offer the first hydro-nano-infused THC beverage on the market.
"I am thrilled to announce that after many months of R&D collaboration with our partners, we have , a beta version of our LALPINA Hydro Nano-infused THC beverage. Because this is an extension of our existing hydro-nano technology, we anticipate a quicker development process with potential of hitting the market by the first quarter of 2019 or sooner," stated American Premium CEORyan Fishoff.
Similar to American Premium's LALPINA Hydro CBD beverage, the hydro-nano THC beverage will boast an absorption rate of up to 90% higher than conventional THC beverages, which allows the THC to immediately penetrate into the cells, bypassing the bloodstream and creating a more immediate effect.
American Premium previously announced in June that it was looking into the development of a THC-Cannabis version of the beverage. American Premium launched its LALPINA Hydro CBD beverage in August and by October secured its first third-party distribution deal with SinglePoint, Inc (OTCQB:SING). The Company has been in discussions with other distributors for this product, and the addition of a THC-infused beverage as part of its offerings will aide in discussions.
With the legalization of cannabis in Canada, the Company is actively pursuing distribution agreements for both of its beverages in the Canadian market. The Company is also pursuing product distribution in U.S. states where Cannabis is legal, and is in discussions with dispensaries in California, Colorado, and Nevada.
"Legalization in Canada and the development of our second beverage provides the opportunity for a distribution channel that not many of our competitors have. Additionally, we have a great geographic advantage in the U.S. I am based in New York City, our Chairman chairman is located in Miami, and our headquarters are in Los Angeles - meaning we have 'boots on the ground' footholds in the country's largest and most visible markets. With the addition of the THC prototype, we are going to exploit this advantage and ramp up our marketing activities in these regions. An example of something that I have in mind is doing a pop up with MedMen's New York location. Doing a pop up with them (MedMen) would be an example of the type of marketing events that we intend to rollout in the coming months to take advantage of our geographic advantage. Over the ensuing weeks, I will share in more detail our wholesale distribution strategy for both the CBD and THC beverages," stated Fishoff.
