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 BLOCKStrain Technology Corp. (TSX:V: DNAX) (OTC:BKKSF), Harvest One Cannabis Inc. (TSX:V: HVT) (OTCQX: HRVOF), CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. (CSE: CROP) (OTC: CRXPF), Green Growth Brands, Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) and High Tide Inc. (CSE:HITI).

BLOCKStrain Technology Corp., creator of the first Blockchain-secured, fully-integrated IP tracking platform for the cannabis industry, today announced that Harvest One Cannabis Inc., a Canadian licensed producer of medical cannabis, will employ BLOCKStrain's proprietary genome tracking software to collect and register its cannabis plant DNA and strains.
By incorporating BLOCKStrain's cannabis strain authenticity and tracking platform - the Master Genome Strain and Clone Registration Program - into its sales program, Harvest One is expected to be able to confirm its medical cannabis strains are as labelled, providing its consumers with increased transparency and confidence about its products. Upon completion of the collection and registration of its strains, an initial 30 Harvest One products will carry BLOCKStrain's Seal of Authenticity, guaranteeing their origin and providing quality assurance.

"This agreement with Harvest One is a testament to the growing traction of our proprietary genome-to-sale software, which we expect to increase as more companies recognize the inherent and significant value in protecting the genetics and IP of their various strains," said BLOCKStrain's Chief Executive Officer, Robert Galarza. "We believe our unique technology will enable Harvest One to guarantee its strains and provide consumers with unparalleled assuredness about the products they purchase. This is of particular importance for medical cannabis when patients with specific conditions are relying on products to be of consistent quality and provide consistent results."

CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. announced today that its 49% owned subsidiary, Elite Ventures reported that Hempire, the company's Nevada tenant, has been issued with a 2019 hemp handler, hemp nursery and hemp grower licenses covering 1,350 irrigated acres on its 2,115 acres of owned or leased CBD focused lands.

A hemp handler is defined as a person who is registered by the licensing department to receive industrial hemp for processing into commodities, products or agricultural hemp seed.

The company chose to apply for its hemp grower licence, nursery and hemp handler licence in anticipation of its lab extracting and producing CBD isolate with a throughput capacity of one ton per day of raw biomass. Furthermore, the company increased the acreage size covered by its hemp licences from 240 acres of cultivation in 2018 to 1,350 acres of irrigated cultivation for 2019.

CROP CEO, Michael Yorke, stated: "With the increased size and operating range of our tenant's licenses, CROP's Nevada CBD operations are emerging into a truly world class operation. Our land holdings, micropropagation team, strategies, drying and extraction capabilities and supply agreements will enable us to operate from seeds to isolate to sales in 2019."

Green Growth Brands, Inc. announced the launch of ShopSeventhSense.com. The eCommerce site will allow consumers access to hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) personal care and beauty products under the Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy brand.

"We have the most comprehensive assortment of CBD-infused personal care and beauty products of anyone in the CBD industry," said Peter Horvath, CEO of GGB. "Sales through our digital channel are a huge component of our strategy. Our digital presence is harmonious with our bricks and mortar strategy. The site expands our reach and will drive subsequent purchases for our customers who have shopped at our Seventh Sense shops or our assortment at DSW."

         
Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy products include CBD-infused body lotion, muscle balm, body wash, bath salts, sugar scrub, bath bomb, lip balm, and face oil. ShopSeventhSense.com will ultimately offer over 300 SKUs of Seventh Sense high quality personal care and beauty products.

High Tide Inc., an Alberta-based downstream cannabis corporation focused on the manufacturing and wholesale distribution of smoking accessories and cannabis lifestyle products, today announced that it has opened its eighth Canna Cabana retail store, which is located at Unit #116, 5305 Magasin Avenue in the city of Beaumont, Alberta. Having met all municipal business requirements, the Beaumont Store is approved to sell smoking accessories and cannabis lifestyle products while the temporary suspension of incremental cannabis retail licensing by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis ("AGLC") remains in effect.
The opening of the Beaumont Store reaffirms High Tide's ability to rapidly execute on its broad set of growth plans. "As the fifth fastest growing community in Canada, it was important for High Tide to establish a retail location in Beaumont. We will strive to quickly become a part of this Leduc County community and integrate the outlet into the local economy for the long term," said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. "Our Canna Cabana employees can now begin to educate customers about cannabis and smoking accessories, accept Health Canada-approved cannabis product packaging through the free in-store recycling program and engage with this important community adjacent to southern Edmonton," added Mr. Grover.

IBM to Invest $50 Million in Research With Hospital and Medical Center and Qualcomm, Accenture and Kellogg Team to Develop VR Merchandising Solution
Stocks discussed: (NYSE:IBM) (NasdaqGS:QCOM) (NYSE:ACN) (NYSE:K)

IBM, (NYSE:IBM) through Watson Health, plans to invest $50 million in research collaborations with Brigham and Women's Hospital, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, and Vanderbilt University Medical Center - to advance the science of artificial intelligence (AI) and its application to major public health issues. Work with the two institutions will concentrate on developing solutions to health issues best suited for AI. Kyu Rhee, M.D., M.P.P., vice president and chief health officer at IBM Watson Health, commented:

"Building on the MIT-IBM Watson Lab announced last year, this collaboration will include contributions from IBM Watson Health's long-standing commitment to scientific research and our belief that working together with the world's leading institutions is the fastest path to develop, advance, and understand practical solutions that solve some of the world's biggest health challenges.”

QUALCOMM Incorporated (NasdaqGS:QCOM) subsidiary Qualcomm Technologies, Accenture (NYSE:ACN) and Kellogg Company (NYSE:K) are collaborating to develop and pilot a virtual reality merchandise solution. The VR merchandising solution utilizes a Qualcomm VR reference design headset, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Mobile VR Platform and is developed by the Accenture Extended Reality (XR) practice. Testing was done in collaboration with Kellogg around the launch of their Pop Tarts Bites product. Raffaella Camera, global head, Innovation & Market Strategy, Accenture Extended Reality, explained the tech:

“Our VR merchandising solution has the potential to transform product placement by examining consumer buying behavior in a holistic way. By combining the power of VR with eye-tracking and analytics capabilities, it allows significant new insights to be captured while consumers shop by monitoring where and how they evaluate all products across an entire shelf or aisle. Ultimately, this enables product placement decisions to be made that can positively impact total brand sales, versus only single product sales.”

JP Morgan Launches “JPM Coin”, SEC Withdraws Bitcoin ETF Proposal, Baidu Launches Blockchain Engine, EEA Opens Chinese Office and Indonesia Imposes Daunting Regulation On Crypto Space
Stocks discussed: (NYSE:JPM) (NasdaqGS:BIDU)

J. P. Morgan (NYSE:JPM) is launching a digital token known as the “JPM Coin”, which will be used to settle payments between clients, according to a report from CNBC. The move comes as part of the bank’s transition to blockchain technology from wire transfers. Umar Farooq, head of J. P. Morgan’s blockchain projects, commented:

"So anything that currently exists in the world, as that moves onto the blockchain, this would be the payment leg for that transaction. The applications are frankly quite endless; anything where you have a distributed ledger which involves corporations or institutions can use this."

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has withdrawn a proposed ETF submitted by Reality Shares ETF Trust, according to an official letter. The ETF application was filed on February 11, 2019 and outlined in its Principal Investment Strategy “bitcoin futures contracts of various maturities listed for trading on U.S. exchanges that provide exposure to the price movements of bitcoin”.

Chinese tech titan Baidu (NasdaqGS:BIDU) has launched the decentralized application (dApp) development system, Baidu Blockchain Engine, according to an announcement from Baidu Cloud. A loose translation of the announcement reads:

“The Baidu blockchain engine (BBE) uses the pluggable blockchain framework to provide developers with a complete multi-chain, middle-tier and various contract templates, dApp templates and other services to make the development of blockchain business systems faster and simpler.”

Cointelegraph reports that Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) has opened a regional office in China. The EEA is a “member-driven standards organization whose charter is to develop open, blockchain specifications that drive harmonization and interoperability for businesses and consumers worldwide”. The article reads:

Weijia Zhang, vice president of engineering at blockchain interoperability startup Wanchain, has been appointed as the head for the new regional office. Zhang will reportedly be responsible “for supporting the advancement and adoption of EEA’s standards by taking part in local hackathons, workshops, training sessions, and conferences.”

The Jakarta Post reports that Indonesia has issued additional regulations on the crypto space which impact the trading of cryptos and bitcoin futures. For futures, the new legislation requires a minimum deposit of $5.7 million, as well as a minimum paid-up capital of 100 billion rupiah ($7.13 million). And as for exchanges, a minimum capital of 1 trillion rupiah ($70.9 million) is required, with a minimum paid-up capital of 800 billion rupiah ($56.7 million). Reuters reports that crypto trader are concerned about the prohibitively high prices.
