The Race for the Premier Retail #Cannabis Market and Brands; (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC), (CSE: $GGB.C) (OTCQB: $GGBXF), (TSX: $ACB.TO) (NYSE: $ACB), (CSE: $CURA.C) ($CURLF)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 5, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the future of the retail cannabis market and companies competing for market share.
According to New Frontier Data, there are an estimated 272 million cannabis consumers globally, equivalent to 4% of the world's population; and more importantly, these consumers collectively spend approximately $356 billion each year on cannabis across legal and illicit markets.
With all this at stake, cannabis companies are positioning themselves in the retail markets with an acquisition strategy targeting premier retail brands.
In September 2018, Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (NYSE: CGCannounced the closing of the acquisition of Hiku Brands to strengthen their retail and brand portfolio.
"Leaves begin to turn. Canopy adds bold new brands. Ready for retail," commented Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "The Tweed and Vert brands we've built are now complemented with the likes of DOJA, Tokyo Smoke, Maitri, and Van der Pop, placing the taste-makers of tomorrow's cannabis industry on the same team."
In October 2018, Canopy announced the launch of a new brand for the recreational market in Canada; LBS. The LBS brand slogan - "Worth Its Weight In Gold" - is a reference to the care and quality put into the brand's products and also to its roots in California, the Golden State.
Talking about the brand, Mark Zekulin, President & Co-CEO said, "Canopy Growth was founded to pursue a 'house of brands' strategy in order to be inclusive across multiple demographics and across multiple cannabis markets."
Using a similar strategy, Green Growth Brands, Inc. (CSE:GGB.CN) (GGBXFplans to grow the world's premier cannabis retailing business. On January 30th the company announced it executed an arm's length definitive agreement to acquire control of ZLJT LLC & Arizona Natural Pain Solutions Inc., collectively referred to as "Desert Rose". Desert Rose holds a license for a vertically-integrated operation in Arizona, including retail, cultivation & infusion (kitchen).
"We were very impressed with the quality of the operations held by Arizona Natural Pain Solutions," said Green Growth Brands CEO, Peter Horvath. "At Desert Rose, the team is dedicated to providing their customers with medical marijuana products that are pure, safe and efficient, while striving to keep their costs as affordable as possible."
According to the website, "Green Growth Brands expects to dominate the cannabis and CBD market with a portfolio of emotion-driven brands that people love. Led by Peter Horvath, the GGB team is full of retail and consumer packaged goods experts with decades of experience building successful brands."
In December 2018, Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (NYSE: ACBannounced that it entered into an agreement to invest $10 million in High Tide Inc., a privately held, Alberta-based, retail-focused cannabis and lifestyle accessories company.
High Tide is developing an expanding network across Canada of cannabis and cannabis accessory retail stores, as well as manufacturing and distributing branded cannabis accessories which positions it exceptionally well to capitalize on the Canadian adult-use cannabis industry. Through its two wholesale businesses, Famous Brandz and RGR Canada and the 19 existing Smoker's Corner retail locations, High Tide serves more than 170,000 retail customers per year.
Getting it right when it comes to retail and branding for the cannabis sector is Curaleaf Holdings (CSE: CURA) (OTCBB: CURLF). Curaleaf is the largest national retail dispensary brand in the US, as well as a premium mainstream cannabis brand available in multiple states and product formats. The company targeted retail channels include: E-commerce (DTC), e-retailers, the natural products/wellness sections of grocery stores and mass merchandisers, high-end spas, pet stores, vape shops, and dispensaries.
Just like any other sector, the cannabis consumer's brand experience will lead to the success of each company. As they jockey for position, Green Growth Brands (CSE:GGB.CN) (GGBXF) is betting on a team that knows the retail market and all about 'going for the gold'.

Investorideas.com - Investing in #cannabis companies and the land they own; (CSE: $HARV.C) (OTCQX: $HTHHF) (CSE: $MMEC.C) (OTCQX: $MMNF) (CSE: $IAN.C) (OTCQX: $ITHUF)

Investorideas.com - Investing in #cannabis companies and the land they own; (CSE: $HARV.C) (OTCQX: $HTHHF) (CSE: $MMEC.C) (OTCQX: $MMNF) (CSE: $IAN.C) (OTCQX: $ITHUF)



Investing in #cannabis companies and the land they own; (CSE: $HARV.C) (OTCQX: $HTHHF) (CSE: $MMEC.C) (OTCQX: $MMNF) (CSE: $IAN.C) (OTCQX: $ITHUF)



Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 5, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the cannabis "land grab" happening in the US and Canada as companies focus on increasing their real estate footprint.
recent CNBC article discussed how the super wealthy have started to invest more into cannabis companies and the land they own. In the article, Michael Sonnenfeldt, founder of investment club Tiger 21, that has numbers upwards of 700 and have a total of $71 billion under management, commented on investing in the cannabis sector saying, "Sometimes it's owning the land that cannabis is grown on, sometimes it's owning the real estate where there are factories, if you will, and sometimes it's owning the companies and then, of course, there's the public market."
Companies like Innovative Industrial Properties' (NYSE: IIPR), a self-advised Maryland corporation focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized industrial properties leased to experienced, state-licensed operators for their regulated medical-use cannabis facilities seem to be a harbinger of this investment trend.
In recent news, the company was reported closing at $61.92, outpacing the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.86%, with shares of the company having gained 33.52% over the past month, outpacing the finance sector's gain of 9.7% and the S&P 500's gain of 8.11% in that time.
Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HTHHF), a vertically integrated public cannabis company, has decided to skip the middleman with regards to real estate and amassed one of the largest footprints in the U.S, with 60 licenses across 12 US states.
The company recently announced the Ohio Department of Commerce, pending background checks, will award the company a provisional processor license under Ohio's Medical Marijuana Control Program. The application scored among the top 26 after being judged on a series of standards and merits, including relevant experience across multiple verticals in the cannabis space, prior demonstration of compliance, financial viability and proposed community benefits.
"Ohio has an important long-term role in the cannabis industry," said Steve White, Founder and CEO of Harvest. "It has the seventh largest state economy, a skilled manufacturing workforce and a growing patient count. We are thrilled to open fully vertical operations and look forward to contributing to the Buckeye economy for years to come. This is a solid win for us, coming on the heels of big retail victories in Pennsylvania and Santa Monica, California."
Cannabis companies like MedMen Enterprises (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQX: MMNFF) have also realized the investment to be made in cannabis real estate. MedMen and Stable Road Capital, a Venice, California-based investment firm with a successful track record in real estate and cannabis, recently founded Treehouse Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a newly organized real estate investment company focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized retail and industrial properties leased for use as regulated adult-use and medical-use cannabis facilities.
Treehouse announced last week that it has completed its offering of 6,676,000 shares of its common stock (the "Common Stock") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $133.5 million. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, and Northland Securities, Inc. acted as the initial purchasers/placement agents for the offering.
iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. (CSE: IAN) (OTCQX: ITHUF) and MPX Bioceutical Corporation just announced that the previously announced plan of arrangement in which iAnthus will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of MPX is now expected to close on or before February 5, 2019.
The combined company, excluding MPX International, will encompass operations and cannabis licenses in 10 states that will permit iAnthus to operate 56 retail locations and 14 cultivation/processing facilities. As a result of the transaction, iAnthus will add retail and/or production capabilities in Arizona, Maryland, Nevada, California and Massachusetts. These additional licenses complement iAnthus' existing assets in New York, Florida, Massachusetts, Vermont, Colorado, and New Mexico, forming super-regional footprints in both the Eastern and Western United States.
The land grab for the US and Canadian cannabis retail and industrial real estate market is on and multi-state operators such as Harvest One (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HTHHF) may have the upper hand against the Canadian companies just beginning to enter into the US.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com "potcast", looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today we are looking at announcements from AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (CSE: AGRA) (OTCPK: PUFXF), Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (TSX-V: TBP) (OTCQB: TBPMF), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB), Radient Technologies (TSX-V: RTI) (OTCQX:RDDTF) and CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House (CSE: OH) (OTCQX: ORHOF).
AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (formerly PUF Ventures Inc.), a growth oriented and diversified international cannabis company, announced that Natures Hemp Corp., a spin-off company from PUF Ventures and a biotechnology and consumer products company focused on unlocking the true value of hemp for both B2B and B2C markets, is moving forward with the development of a hemp based coffee creamer. The Richardson Centre of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals at the University of Manitoba is undertaking phase two of product development which includes product and process optimization, increased production scale plus a shelf life study.
"We are moving to phase two of the development of our all-natural, hemp-based, non-dairy coffee creamer to increase production scale, introduce alternative flavours and study the nutrient composition and shelf life of the new product," said Derek Ivany, President and CEO of AgraFlora Organics International. "Initial tests show that our new coffee creamer tastes good, has all the characteristics of conventional creamers and includes all the healthy benefits of cannabidiols. More news will follow as we add to the management team and provide more specific timing to the public listing process."
Nature Hemp's healthy alternative non-dairy coffee creamer is made using whole hemp seeds. Hemp seeds are recognized as a superfood, like flax and chia seeds, because they contain cannabidiol (CBD), are high in protein, contain 20 amino acids, and are also high in the fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6. Hemp seeds are typically pressed to produce oil and the remaining byproduct is processed into a flour from which products like pasta, baked goods and other healthy foods can be created.
Crescita Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: CTX), a Canadian commercial dermatology company and Tetra Natural Health (NHP), a subsidiary of Tetra Bio-Pharma, a leader in cannabinoid-derived drug discovery and development, today announced an agreement to develop an enhanced version of Tetra's dermatology portfolio using Crescita's patented transdermal delivery technologies: Multiplexed Molecular Penetration Enhancer ("MMPE™") and DuraPeel™. The primary active ingredient contained in the product portfolio to be reformulated is beta-caryophyllene ("Beta-C"), which is known to work on Cannabidiol ("CBD") 2 receptors. The testing methodology and the clinical development made possible by the collaboration will help optimize the delivery of Beta-C and several other active ingredients into the skin and local tissues.
Some of Tetra's dermatology products have already been approved by Health Canada as natural health products, and address several medical conditions, including but not limited to, muscle and joint pain, cold sores and hemorrhoids. In late 2018, Crescita published the favorable results of a study demonstrating the enhanced permeation of CBD, the non-psychoactive component of cannabis. The in-vitro skin permeation study showed that both MMPE and DuraPeel significantly increased the transdermal permeation of CBD over the control formulation by up to 14- and 6-fold, respectively. Based on these results, Tetra believes that the use of Crescita's patented technologies will improve the permeability and potentially, the efficacy of Beta-C and will enhance the intellectual property of its dermatology portfolio.
In addition, the companies have entered into discussions related to Crescita's contract manufacturing services to produce Tetra's enhanced product portfolio once the desired results have been attained in the development and testing phases of the collaboration.
Aurora Cannabis Inc. announced today that its extraction technology partner, Radient Technologies has received its Standard Processing License from Health Canada.
In 2016, Aurora identified Radient's proprietary extraction technology (MAP™) as potentially disruptive for the cannabis industry due to its ability to achieve much higher throughputs than is possible with existing benchmark technologies, as well as its efficiency and ability to preserve the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes found in the source material. These aspects provide key competitive advantages in the development and large-scale production of high-quality derivative products.
Since investing in Radient, Aurora has expanded into the hemp sector with its majority ownership of Hempco Food and Fiber ("Hempco") and the acquisition of AgroPro, Europe's largest producer of organic hemp products, providing low-cost access to high-quality raw material for the extraction of CBD. The industrial-scale extraction of CBD will play a key role in the roll-out of Aurora's derivative products strategy, including the development and production of high-margin products for the wellness market.
CannaRoyalty Corp. d/b/a Origin House, a leading North American cannabis products and brands company, today announced that that the Company has entered into an agreement to provide strategic financing of US$704,000 to Humboldt's Finest, an alliance of heritage cannabis farms representing Humboldt County. Humboldt's Finest produces sun-grown cannabis flower on their farms in Humboldt County, California, which is processed into products including jarred flower, pre-roll flower joints, live resin dabs/jars and/or live resin cartridges.
The funds have been advanced towards the forward purchase of Humboldt's Finest cannabis and cannabis products at a discount to the wholesale price. In conjunction with the Agreement, Origin House's wholly-owned distribution subsidiary, RVR Distribution ("RVR") has renewed and extended its exclusive distribution rights to Humboldt's Finest products. This Agreement, in addition to the previously announcedpartnership with Mendocino-based Henry's Original, reinforces Origin House's presence as an active operator with a strong foothold in the Emerald Triangle, the epicenter of California's cannabis cultivation.
"We are proud to announce Humboldt's Finest as a participant in our innovative brand acceleration program, following recently announced partnerships with Henry's Original and Utopia Cannabis," said Afzal Hasan, President and General Counsel of Origin House. "We believe that the low-impact, organic practices of cultivators such as Humboldt's Finest are the gold standard for high quality, sustainable, heritage cultivation. Humboldt County has come a long way socially, economically and environmentally, and the intellectual property rooted within the practices of this community is at the core of the brands that we are partnering with. We're excited to support operators in Humboldt County that are seeking to make the area a global nexus for cannabis cultivation, as these relationships have the potential to translate into strong returns for both the local communities and our stakeholders."

Binance CEO Says "Amazon Will Have to Issue a [Crypto] Currency Sooner or Later", Kraken Acquires Crypto Facilities and Bitfury Partners to Launch Bitcoin Operations in Paraguay

Coming out of the weekend it seems that the crypto market still can't break out of the current bear market, with total market capitalization clocking in at just under $114 billion USD according to CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading for $3459 at press time, with XRP and Ether (ETH) trailing behind and trading for $0.30 and $107, respectively.
Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of crypto exchange giant Binance, recently tweeted"Amazon will have to issue a currency sooner or later." This followed another tweet in which he expressed confusion at why any internet-based companies would not accept crypto.
For any internet (non-physical) based business, I don't understand why anyone would not accept crypto for payments. It is easier, faster and cheaper to integration than traditional payment gateways. Less paperwork. And reaches more diverse demographic and geography.
Crypto exchange Kraken has acquired UK-based crypto trading platform and index provider Crypto Facilities, according to the AP. Without specifying a price, the press release indicates that it was a "nine-figure deal" and was "Kraken's largest acquisition to date and one of the largest the industry has seen". Timo Schlaefer, Crypto Facilities CEO and Founder, said:
"It has been our mission to build the most sophisticated, powerful and user friendly cryptocurrency trading platform. Teaming up with Kraken allows us to innovate the next generation of products and tremendously boosts the value we are able to provide to our clients."
Blockchain technology company Bitfury has announced a partnership with South Korean R&D firm Commons Foundation to launch bitcoin operations in Paraguay. The two companies will build a series of transaction processing sites in the country, all using Bitfury's BlockBox AC mobile data centres. Valery Vavilov, CEO of Bitfury, commented:
"We are committed to increasing the security of the Bitcoin Blockchain, both through innovation in our hardware portfolio and expansion of its network throughout the world. Bitfury has consistently prioritized the global decentralization of the Bitcoin Blockchain and we look forward to helping our partners introduce this industry to Paraguay."

WISE, the Ansuz™ Chip and the future of #blockchain @network_wise


February 4, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) The company that brought you the Ansuz™ Chip, an innovative developer of analog-mixed-signal, system-on-a-chip (AMS-SoC) integrated circuits that empower IoT and mobile networks through blockchain technology, is taking the cryptocurrency market by storm.
This month, their ICO is already at full throttle, private sale of WSE Tokens already started and will continue through the first and second quarter.
Public Sale starts during 2019’s third quarter and Bounty is already up.
Check it out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5102900
A young company with an already secured amount of potential, Wise network and its Ansuz™ Chip is under the eye of investors and funding from Central Europe and the United Kingdom.
WISE (for short) specializes in breakthrough technologies applied to IoT devices and blockchain technology. Quite a prominent advantage of their new product, is the Ansuz™ Chip, and the introduction of a featured named "radio waves based IoT".
Most of the new generations of devices are now IoT enabled, different manufacturers create and apply their own IoT standards for those products. Meaning that a cellphone by Samsung wouldn't be fully compatible to exchange information with an LG microwave oven through Wi-Fi, for example. WISE changes that.
Ansuz™ is designed to communicate with other thousands of Ansuz™ ICs inside other mobile devices worldwide, checking their available idle time. The System-on-a-Chip technology in Ansuz™ is designed to borrow computing power from idle devices on the network for increased processing speeds where and when needed. This collective computing power is used for your smartphone to load data with much quicker speeds.
Hardware and software inside Ansuz™ can transmit voice & video through radio waves, from where you are stepping right to every place where radio wave transmission is available. 
Through the use of antennas, radio transmissions are free of charge. Some already said this could mean a "Bye bye to expensive cellular plans". The new technology will surely modify the rules of the game in every individuals' day to day activities once implemented.
All encapsulated inside a die-sized chip embedded in your device, in every single IoT device.
Wise's Ansuz™ Chip is blockchain enabled, which opens myriad applications to the public. From finding a parking spot to supply chain logistics. Imagine yourself being able to gather information from a network of Ansuz™ enabled IoT devices; a secured blockchain network like this one could transmit and receive information without compromising anyone's information or device.
WISE has its own ICO, called the WRC Token. WRC is a digital token that is created within the Ansuz™ system. The token is generated with every radio transmission and is native to blockchain technology. The token enables the purchasing of IoT/Mobile related services available on the decentralized app store to access further capabilities.
The amount of applications that this new technology could be applied to is simply astronomical as blockchain becomes more and more accepted and standardized, and disruptive technologies such as radio waves based IoT will definitely shake January's roadshow and attract investors without any doubts at all.
