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.
Today’s podcast is sponsored by Cannabis Suisse Corp. (OTC: CSUI), a research & development company licensed under Swiss Cannabis and tobacco regulations to cultivate and sell cannabis. The Company's facilities for producing cannabis are based in Zurich.
The Company grows high quality, organic cannabis with sustainable, all-natural principles. Cannabis Suisse products are laboratory tested to ensure the end users have access to a standardized, safe and consistent product.
In today’s podcast we will be looking at a few private and public company announcements.
American Green (OTC: ERBB) announced that one of its best AGM Vending Machine Kiosk customers has used the company's technology to keep its employees and customers safe by eliminating all contact with fellow customers and employees while completing a transaction at its stores.
Earthly Mist, like most companies in the retail sector, found itself in a situation when Covid 19 hit, of having to close its stores unless it found a way to continue to serve its clients without risking the health of its employees and customers. Store management came up with a solution to re-deploy their American Green AGM kiosks to carry out a complete transaction without any human interaction whatsoever.
According to Earthly Mist Manager, Danelle Pierce, "Customer and employee safety was our #1 priority. We've used the AGM - American Green Merchandisers - as a way to offer contactless purchases that are compliant within our Covid-19 environment. American Green's AGM has been great for our clients that still need to complete purchases, but who are concerned about interacting with the public. By making our products available day and night, essential workers still in the workforce no longer need to rush in before our stores close. We've informed our clients that even through forced shutdowns due to government restrictions, our popular products will remain available to them to purchase any time of the day or night. Our contact-free solution has greatly relieved consumer anxiety and allowed us to continue to offer access to our products during these uncertain times."
According to Lindel Creed, American Green's head of American Green's AGM Division, "Earthly Mist was forced to become very creative in their business thinking and has put today's technology to optimum use in keeping their business and client base stress free. Using high-tech security cameras and two-way communication with customers arriving at the store, coupled with American Green's proprietary AGM - American Green Merchandiser - Earthly Mist can continue to securely dispense its quality products to customers using the kind of ingenuity that has made American the great country that it is."
When visiting the Earthly Mist Facebook page you can see a flyer made about a possible temporary closure; however, the website and Automatic Dispensing AGM Machines will remain available day and night.
In other news, American Green plans to open up 10 additional major markets to vending operators wishing to sell American Green's CBD line of American-made CBD products. In addition to the AGM smart vending kiosk, the company is also a leading online supplier of America-made, high quality CBD products which it plans to "marry" to its state-of-the-art AGM machines. For a sampling of American Green's high quality product offerings, simply click on the company's online store. If you are an experienced vending machine operator serving a major market and wish to add a complete CBD products to your existing route, you should contact Mr. Lindel Creed at American Green's AGM Division located in Gastonia, North Carolina by writing lindel@americangreen.com or calling Mr. Creed on his direct line at 704-718-3158.
Merrco Payments Inc., the leading cannabis payment solution provider, and Dutchie, an online cannabis marketplace, announced the successful integration of Merrco's payment solution with Dutchie's online platform for Click and Collect and cannabis delivery services (subject to Provincial laws).
Following the Ontario government's announcement on April 7, 2020 temporarily allowing cannabis retailers to offer curbside pickup and delivery, cannabis retailers had to act quickly.
Click and Collect models were implemented immediately to allow consumers to reserve products on a retailer's website or online ordering platform and securely pay, and have the products delivered or picked up at curbside. This helps retailers provide consumers with a convenient buying option while ensuring social distancing measures are followed.
Dutchie is an online cannabis ordering platform that provides consumers an easy and safe way to purchase cannabis products from local cannabis retailers for pickup, curbside or delivery.
Ross Lipson, Co-founder and CEO of Dutchie said, "We are excited to partner with Merrco to offer both consumers and cannabis retailers an end to end cannabis ordering platform, that allows the consumer to pay online at checkout."
Fern Glowinsky, President and CEO of Merrco shared, "We are proud to offer cannabis merchants a simple and reliable Click and Collect payment solution. With the Dutchie integration, cannabis retailers benefit from a robust payment processing platform that is fully integrated within their website."
Merchants ready to offer Click and Collect services for curbside pick up or delivery, can reach the company at info@merrco.ca or 1-800-957-0534 to get started.
Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT), a leader in natural health and wellness products, announced the launch of Neptune Air, a non-contact infrared thermometer (NCIT) optimized for measuring a person's temperature while reducing cross-contamination risk and minimizing the risk of spreading disease.
Neptune is developing multiple versions of Neptune Air for consumers, businesses and government customers, including white label turnkey solutions, and is currently shipping to a large North American distributor of first aid and safety products. The launch and expansion of Neptune Air is expected to allow Neptune to rapidly increase North American supply of safe and effective thermometers, which we believe have been in short supply since the COVID-19 outbreak.
According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the benefits of NCITs include:
● Non-contact approach may reduce the risk of spreading disease between people being evaluated
● Easy to use
● Easy to clean and disinfect
● Measures temperature and displays a reading rapidly
● Provides ability to retake a temperature quickly
This new expansion of Neptune's product portfolio with products including hand sanitizers and non-contact thermometers is a strategic response to COVID-19 and utilizes a highly flexible and low cost supply chain infrastructure that can be scaled up and down quickly to adapt to market demand.
"The launch of Neptune Air reflects our ability to be nimble and quickly respond to customer demands with turnkey product development and supply chain solutions," said Michael Cammarata, Chief Executive Officer of Neptune Wellness Solutions. "Neptune Air further reinforces our leadership position in health and wellness products and we expect our entrance into this market to open the door to many new customer relationships as we expand and diversify our health and wellness product portfolio and leverage our capabilities to meet market needs. In response to COVID-19, we are proud to bring this product to market to address supply constraints due to strong demand for safe and effective thermometers as an important tool in the fight against this pandemic."
Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) officially unveiled its Cannabis 2.0 portfolio in late 2019 and provided the following updates on the Company's 2.0 innovation products that have launched into the Canadian recreational market in early 2020, and additional upcoming product releases.
The first wave of the Company's ready-to-drink cannabis-infused beverages – Tweed Houndstooth & Soda and Tweed Bakerstreet & Ginger — shipped in March 2020 and April 2020, respectively. Houndstooth & Soda — the first THC-infused ready-to-drink beverage to hit the Canadian market — garnered positive early reviews and strong consumer demand across the country, with further shipments having since been sent to provincial boards and retailers to meet ongoing demand. Canadians can expect to see two additional beverages — Houseplant Grapefruit and Deep Space — available through retail and e-commerce platforms within the coming weeks.
"We are proud to see the early responses to our infused beverages," shared CEO David Klein. "Our beverage innovation team took a flavour-first approach with our drinks, and the first four offerings to hit the market demonstrate the range of our portfolio, with flavour profiles that will satiate our consumers' palates. We have said all along that infused beverages were going to be game-changer for our industry and we are excited to introduce this new product category to even more Canadian adult consumers in the coming weeks."
Canopy Growth also recently launched its ~ 1 ounce SKUs — Twd. 28 Sativa and Twd. 28 Indica — via Twd., the Company's value cannabis brand. The Company believes that consumers have the right to high quality, high THC flower at an accessible price, and Twd.28 was developed to provide potency and value for purchasers who prefer to buy their cannabis by the ounce. The introduction of competitively priced bulk offerings into the legal Canadian recreational market will also continue to help to shift sales from the illicit market.
Pasha Brands Ltd. (CSE: CRFT) (OTC:CRFTF) announced that it has signed a master processing agreement with Indiva Limited (TSXV:NDVA) (OTCQX:NDVAF) to manufacture and distribute pre-rolls and jarred flower curated from Pasha’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BC Craft Supply Co Ltd.’s, vast national network of artisanal cannabis growers. This partnership intends to elevate the premium cannabis playing field by highlighting the skills of Canada’s micro-growers and making their unique and beautiful flower available to consumers from coast-to-coast.
“This partnership represents a significant step for Pasha in realizing its vision to bring high-quality micro producers into the legal market and to provide an avenue for those products to be available on store shelves,” said Matthew Watters, Pasha’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our partnership with Indiva will leverage their world-class manufacturing capabilities, and equally strong distribution network within Canada, to produce pre-rolls and jarred flower that sets new industry standards. We take a lot of pride in our network of micro producers and are excited to work collaboratively to bring their artisanal cannabis to market, particularly at a time when quality product is in high demand.”
The MPA is for a one-year renewable term. The partnership expects to begin processing cannabis by late May 2020. Pasha and Indiva will share in the net revenue from the MPA after costs are recovered by each respective party.
Once again, today’s podcast was sponsored by Cannabis Suisse Corp. (OTC: CSUI), a research & development company licensed under Swiss Cannabis and tobacco regulations to cultivate and sell cannabis. The Company's facilities for producing cannabis are based in Zurich.
The Company grows high quality, organic cannabis with sustainable, all-natural principles. Cannabis Suisse products are laboratory tested to ensure the end users have access to a standardized, safe and consistent product.
