Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon, welcome to another Investorideas.com "potcast", featuring stocks to watch, cannabis news as well as insights from thought leaders and experts. This podcast is sponsored by CLS Holdings USA, Inc. (OTCQB: CLSH).
Today we will be looking at announcements from Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: PVOT)(OTCQB: PVOTF), Valens GroWorks Corp. (CSE: VGW) (OTCQB: MYMSF), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) and THC BioMed Intl Ltd. (CSE: THC).
Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that it has placed a Purchase Order with its German manufacturing partner, Solmic GmbH, for 15,000 bottles of Pivot Naturals Oral 1% CBD Solution. The product will be distributed in the European Union to over 1,800 retail and online clients by Pivot's distribution partner, S.T.U. GmbH. The 30 ml bottle will retail for CHF(Swiss Francs) 90.00 and be available for purchase in December 2018. The product is registered in Germany and has the required Pharmazentralnummer (PZN) code. Once a product is introduced in the IFA database, a Pharmazentralnummer (PZN) is assigned. It is the national standard identification code for products in the pharmacy market in Germany and makes the products eligible for sale in other EU countries.
Dr. Patrick Frankham, Pivot's CEO, stated, "With this initial Purchase Order from Europe, Pivot has completed another important milestone. In one year, the Company has successfully transitioned from acquiring patented formulation and delivery technologies to commercializing our catalogue of differentiated bio-cannabis products and initiating sales. Cannabis is an entirely new market and we are paving the way for premium science-based products consumers will demand. With recently announced sales channels and joint venture partners in Latin America, Europe and Canada, across pharmaceutical and beverage markets, Pivot is well positioned to rapidly capture global market share in the emerging industry."
Valens GroWorks Corp., a licensed, vertically integrated provider of cannabis products and services focused on various proprietary extraction methodologies, distillation, cannabinoid isolation and purification, as well as associated quality testing announced that it has entered into a multi-year Extraction Services Agreement with Harvest One (TSXV:HVT) for cannabis extraction and value-added services.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Harvest One's subsidiary, United Greeneries, will ship bulk quantities of dried cannabis to Valens over an initial three-year term. The Company will receive and process the cannabis on a fee for service basis into bulk resin or other cannabis oil derivative products.
The Company will also conduct R&D services for Harvest One to support their product line development including health and wellness products, beverages, vape pens, and nutraceuticals using cannabis oil derivative products. The significance of these products is reflected in the more developed markets in the United States where raw flower makes up less than half of the products sold.
Canopy Growth Corporation today released its consolidated financial results for the second quarter fiscal 2019 ended September 30, 2018.
During the quarter, Canopy Growth secured capital via a strategic $5 billion investment from Fortune 500 beverage leader Constellation Brands, which closed subsequent to the quarter. These funds will be deployed towards the Company's core strategic objectives of (i) intellectual property development, and (ii) replicating the Company's Canadian platform for success across a large number of international markets. These objectives will be achieved through international acquisitions as well as continued internal investments across the globe, and are discussed in further detail below.
Sales in the second quarter were in line with management's expectations leading into the opening of the recreational cannabis market. Revenue for the second quarter fiscal 2019 was $23.3 million, representing an increase of 33% over the prior year's quarter in which revenue was $17.6 million. As planned, the Company made only limited "test" shipments of $0.7 million into recreational channels during the second quarter to confirm supply chain systems functionality before the launch of recreational cannabis on October 17.  
Oils, including the Company's Softgel capsules, accounted for 34% and 18%, in the respective second quarters of fiscal 2019 and 2018, of the product revenue for each period, demonstrating an increased demand for value-added products that require lower active ingredient inputs and provide higher margins.
"With extensive investments over the past year, including most notably in the second quarter, in branding and retail development, our entrance into the retail cannabis market has been a success with our SKU assortment obtaining over 30% listings market share in multi-store physical retail store networks nationwide. With substantial product inventories on hand, new product formats coming to market as planned, a captive sales force driving increased demand through physical retail stores and increasing internal and channel efficiencies, we believe based on market conditions today that we will attain significant and sustainable market share of the Canadian recreational market," Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth.
THC BioMed Intl Ltd. announced that it has received a Cannabis Act and Cannabis Regulations License from Health Canada on November 8, 2018. This is the new license under the Cannabis Act and it allows THC to grow, produce and sell cannabis products on a large scale under the new regime.
THC also announced that Clone Shipper, its wholly-owned subsidiary, has received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office regarding THC's patent application for the invention of an illuminated shipping container for live cannabis plants. THC now has three months to conduct a final review of its patent application, file any necessary amendments, submit the formal drawings and pay the Issue fee. The Notice of Allowance is not a grant of patent rights but a notice from the Examiner that the Application is being allowed.
In addition, due to the high demand for our cannabis products, THC has completed its fourth (4th) shipment of cannabis products to the Province of B.C. Its previous three shipments have sold out since launch day on October 17, 2018.
THC is focused on meeting the high demand for its products. It continues to expand and develop its production space, as announced in previous press releases on October 16, 2018, June 29, 2018, June 12, 2018 and earlier.

Investorideas.com - Joint Ventures in the #Cannabis #Beverage Sector; Sproutly Canada (CSE: $SPR.C) (OTCQB: $SRUTF), Hexo Corp. (TSX: $HEXO.TO) (OTC: $HYYDF), Canopy Growth (NYSE: $CGC) (TSX: $WEED. TO)

Investorideas.com - Joint Ventures in the #Cannabis #Beverage Sector; Sproutly Canada (CSE: $SPR.C) (OTCQB: $SRUTF), Hexo Corp. (TSX: $HEXO.TO) (OTC: $HYYDF), Canopy Growth (NYSE: $CGC) (TSX: $WEED. TO)



Joint Ventures in the #Cannabis #Beverage Sector; Sproutly Canada (CSE: $SPR.C) (OTCQB: $SRUTF), Hexo Corp. (TSX: $HEXO.TO) (OTC: $HYYDF), Canopy Growth (NYSE: $CGC) (TSX: $WEED. TO)


Point Roberts, WA - November 14, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) cannabis / beverage news - Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks releases a sector snapshot with a focus on the recent JV's (joint ventures) and investments in the cannabis infused beverage market.
Why the urgency to invest and partner in the space? Multiple sources including Business Insider quoted recent market projections from Canaccord Genuity reporting," Marijuana-infused beverages could become a $600 million market in the US in the next four years and big beverage makers are looking to take advantage of that opportunity."
"Revenue from cannabis beverages could outpace the general demand for cannabis products by over two times, capturing 20% of the market for marijuana edibles by 2022, according to the analysts."
Most recent JV news hitting the sector; Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FRA: 38G) just announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with Global Canna Labs Limited, the Caribbean's largest medical cannabis producer, to establish a joint venture for the purpose of developing, producing, distributing, marketing and selling cannabis infused beverages, edibles and topical products derived from Sproutly's fully licensed, APP Technology.
From the news: "Partnering with Global Canna Labs on this joint venture allows Sproutly to expand its business outside of Canada with a leading, low cost cannabis cultivator in Jamaica that has proven distribution in across the Caribbean and expanding into the European Union," said Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Sproutly. "This partnership will enable Sproutly to diversify its product portfolio and accelerate its global distribution network from a low-cost regulated jurisdiction."
Continued: "Paul Glavine, Chief Executive Officer of Global Canna Labs said, "We are eager to roll out this partnership with Sproutly on their APP technology. We have explored a number of options regarding extraction and cannabis technology solutions for beverage and derivative products - APP Technology is in our view the superior choice for beverage formulations.  With our current supply and expansion plans to over 1 million square feet of cultivation, we see this partnership with Sproutly as a step towards utilization of our large-scale production towards a finished-product strategy."
In early October, a substantial JV cannabis beverage announcement came from Molson Coors Canada (MCC), the Canadian business unit of Molson Coors Brewing Company, and HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO) (OTC:HYYDF). They reported the formation of a joint venture to pursue opportunities to develop non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages for the Canadian market following legalization. 
The joint venture, Truss, is led by former Molson Coors executive, Brett Vye, in the role of Chief Executive Officer. Vye reports to the Truss board of directors consisting of three members appointed by MCC and two members appointed by HEXO. 
Mark Hunter, President and CEO of Molson Coors was quoted in an article earlier this month saying "clearly there are lots of numbers being bandied around with regard to the potential size of the cannabis market in Canada." He went on to say, "I think, if you take the average, then it suggests that the market may be somewhere between $7 billion and $10 billion in market value, with beverages somewhere between 20% and 30%, and that's obviously non-alcoholic cannabis infused beverages. Even if you take the low end of that estimate, then it suggests that the beverages segment could be circa $1.5 billion of value. We're well placed to take a meaningful share of that segment."
Not only are many companies looking to be the first to the beverage market, whether locally or internationally, but the consumer demand seems to be pushing that direction as well.
According to one survey, "76% of US and Canadian's surveyed said they would use legal cannabis-infused products for therapeutic reasons, with nearly a quarter indicating that they'd try recreational cannabis via skincare products like lotions, creams and lip balms. 41% of the participants said they'd be more likely to try recreational cannabis through food, slightly higher than the 39% of those surveyed who said they would smoke it."
There has been heavy investment into this concept, the largest example being the $5 Billion CAD [$4 Billion USD] investment from Constellation Brands into Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE:CGC) (TSX:WEED), though speculation continues around Coca Cola's interest in the Cannabis sector.
In a recent CBC article, Bruce Linton, the founder and co-CEO of Canopy Growth said "new products developed by Tweed represent the next big opportunity."
Continued: "I think if you're not preparing things two years in advance, you're never ready," he said. "Right now, none of the chocolate or gummy bears or beverages can be prepared or sold, but we're doing experiments on how to make them."
Walmart, much like Coca Cola, according New Frontier Data "has also led some investigation into the cannabis market for although Walmart does not sell CBD products, it does sell a variety of hemp-derived products; such as hemp oil, hemp soap, and hemp fiber."
Continued: "At present, none of these large hemp companies sell CBD-related products, but look for some of them to start in 2019 as several leading brands look to expand their product offering into hemp-derived CBD to capitalize on mass market distribution opportunities. For now, all eyes are on the Farm Bill and FDA to give mass markets retailers, like Walmart, the green light to begin selling hemp products with CBD."
As countries race to allow new legalization for cannabis, companies in the sector continue to push to be leading innovators. The next year offers the potential passing of the 2018 Farm Bill as well as the legalization of edibles and beverages in Canada on October 2019, which could see consumers very close to their first ‘cannabeverage'.
Investors can expect to see more money flow and JV's as the sector ramps up.

Bitmain Shuffles Board as IPO Nears, BCH Hard Fork Sees ABC Token with Most Nodes, Michigan Sec. of State Bars Crypto in Political Donations and Marshall Islands' President Prevails in No Confidence Vote Despite Controversial Crypto Position

8btc reports that bitcoin mining firm Bitmain has undergone a significant personnel change as the company prepares for its coming IPO. According to a "securities authority close to Bitmain", four out of six have quit the board, and includes company CEO and co-founder Jihan Wu. An unnamed lawyer is quoted in the piece explaining Wu's changed status with the board.
"As a director, Jihan had the right to vote when the board makes decisions. However, after changing to a supervisor, his power becomes smaller that he can no longer vote. As thus, Wu will be unable to participate in the business decision-making but only serve as a supervisor."
The Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hard fork is expected to happen on November 15, and crypto data platform Coin Dance shows that Bitcoin ABC has far more nodes than rival Bitcoin SV. At press time, the summary indicates that ABC has 1082 nodes while SV only has 171. The somewhat less talked about new token, Bitcoin Unlimited, falls between the two with 792 nodes at press time. For background, Bitcoin ABC is favoured by Roger Ver, as well as Bitmain, Binance and Coinbase, while Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Vision) is favoured by Dr. Craig Wright, who has claimed to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, as well as CoinGeek and Bitcoin.org.
Michigan's Secretary of State has formally come out against the use of cryptocurrencies in campaign donations in a letter to state legislature candidate William Baker. The letter reasoned that crypto's tendency toward volatility in price made it unreliable as a valid form of currency.
Cryptocurrency is not a mere transfer of controlled funds deposited or withdrawn through a financial institution, but rather is traded anonymously through an electronic platform. As with stocks and commodities, Bitcoin's worth fluctuates daily, there is no way to ascertain the precise monetary value of one Bitcoin on any particular day. Further the Act requires that committees deposit funds in an account in a financial institution, which is not an option for cryptocurrency.
Nikkei Asian Review reports that Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine has prevailed through a no confidence vote on her presidency that was based in part on her position on cryptocurrency. Holding on to power by one vote, Heine will pursue her controversial plan of implementing a digital currency known as the Sovereign for the Marshall Islands. Once created, the Sovereign will have equal status to the U.S. dollar in the country.
