"Get Your #CBD On" - #Cannabis Stocks to Watch; (OTC: $ISBG) (NASDAQ: $NBEV) (CSE: $KBEV.C) (CSE: $GGB.C)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 23, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the influx of CBD product purchase orders announced in 2019 as the demand for CBD products grows.
CBD continues to be the largest "buzz-word" in the cannabis sector and companies are wasting no time stocking their shelves with a diverse CBD product line-up as 2019 begins.
New Age Beverages Corp. (NASDAQ:NBEV), an organic and natural beverage company is betting on branding and name recognition to help take on the U.S. CBD-infused drinks market. In their recent press release, they announced that they have signed an agreement to develop and distribute Bob Marley cannabis beverages.
From the news: "The first product to rollout in the Marley+CBD portfolio will be Marley+CBD Mellow Mood, relaxation drinks in 15.5 oz cans with 25 mg of pharmaceutical grade CBD per serving. Initial market rollout to customers will be in Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and Michigan where cannabis is legal for responsible adult consumption."
Continued: "Retailers and distributors realize that it will be a long road for smaller CBD brands to gain traction and brand equity. Under the Marley brand platform, we are able to leverage a massive global brand with ties to healthy cannabis use, to ultimately grow a beverage brand beyond anything we have seen to date," said Michael Cunningham, Senior Vice President of sales for New Age.
Smaller, but just as ambitious, International Spirits and Beverage Group Inc. (OTC: ISBG), a brand incubator in the Global Wine & Spirits and CBD-Infused products markets recently announced its first purchase order for the Company’s new P19 CBD Gummies. The order exceeds $115K. In addition, the Company now anticipates revenues from its recently launched Health and Wellness segment to top $300K during Q1 2019 based on orders for CBD Gummies and other new product releases.
That would represent potential annualized y/y growth of 233% following full-year 2018 billed sales of $360K in comparable items and services.
ISBG CEO, Terry Williams, stated, "The removal of hemp from federal prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 will, according to all analysis we have received, indeed mean a broad expansion in the scale and scope of the total U.S. hemp industry. And experts expect this to have a dramatic and disproportionately positive impact on growth in the hemp-derived CBD products market segment. We expect this to be a major performance driver for ISBG Health and Wellness in 2019."
"With our expansion into the CBD products space, we now have enough logistical complexity to materially streamline costs through the implementation of our new supply chain technology," continued Mr. Williams. "Everything is suddenly coming together right now for this Company – the Farm Bill, strong early growth in our new Health and Wellness division, our Besado overhaul, our integration of our hybrid supply chain management system."
Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV) (OTC: KBEVF) another cannabis company in the CBD and beverage space announced its first purchase order with GNC Holdings, Inc. (GNC), a leading global health and wellness brand with thousands of retail stores across the U.S. and Canada.
It is the largest single order for product that Koios has received in its corporate history, and is for Koios's four most popular flavors, which will initially be available for purchase in approximately 2,700 GNC retail stores in the U.S. before the end of Q1, 2019.
Another company, Green Growth Brands (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXFannounced their recent agreement with DSW Inc. to sell hemp-derived CBD personal care products under the Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy brand at select DSW stores throughout the U.S.
The Agreement was received for 54,960 units and covers sales in 96 U.S.-based DSW stores.
The Agreement follows a successful test phase conducted last autumn in which Green Growth Brands sold select Seventh Sense products in 10 DSW stores in which 74.4% of product presented on shelves was sold during the first 10 weeks of the test period.
2019 looks to be a big year for CBD products, with headlines in USA Today reporting, "Cannabis food, drinks to be 2019's hottest dining trend, top chefs say."  If all goes according to analyst predictions, this could be a year of " Don’t Worry, Be Happy" for the sector.

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 will be looking at announcements from Agrios Global Holdings Ltd. (CSE: AGRO), Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V: OGO) (OTC: OGOFF), Cannvas MedTech Inc. (CSE: MTEC) (OTCPK: CANVF), NexTech AR Solutions Corp.(CSE: NTAR) (OTC: NEXCF), Flower One Holdings Inc. (CSE: FONE) (OTCQB: FLOOF) and CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST).
But first, Medicinal Genomics Corporation, a pioneer in using genomics to improve the transparency, safety and yield of cannabis has today announced the industry's most comprehensive Cannabis reference genome, a high quality de novo genome assembly of the Jamaican Lion cannabis strain. As the first reference genome to break the "usability barrier," the significance of this development cannot be overstated. Having a comprehensive cannabis genome opens the door to a host of industry innovations, including enabling cannabis research in states and countries where cannabis is still illegal, marker-assisted selection (MAS) for genetically-based strain identification, accelerated breeding to improve production yields, reliable seed-to-sale tracking systems, and pathogen identification to ensure cannabis purity and safety.
"For the first time, growers and breeders will have a complete and reliable genome from which to create new strains for increased yields and productivity, while documenting them to protect their work. Cultivators will also be able to embark on a brand new era of intelligent breeding destined to change the way cannabis is grown, sold and consumed," said Kevin McKernan, chief science officer for Medicinal Genomics. "And this is just the beginning of enhancing cannabis yield with genomics. This plant that has the potential to be more valuable than wheat and corn combined, but with far more varied and diverse uses, including everything from CO2 sequestration to pain relief and medical therapies to complete vegetable proteins, clothing and industrial materials."
MGC was the first to sequence the cannabis genome with its sequencing of the Chemdawg cultivar in 2011. Since then, major breakthroughs in sequencing technology have enabled their reference of the cannabis genome to greatly exceed the standards set by the Human Genome Project in 2001. The company has also steadily applied these improvements by adding more genomes to its Kannapedia knowledge database, and in 2018, in validation of the company's progress their work was underwritten by the DASH Cryptocurrency.
Agrios Global Holdings Ltd. announced it will be establishing a subsidiary business unit in the State of Missouri to provide consulting services related to the regulatory changes that come into affect with the state's recent approval of medical cannabis. The Company's initial focus is preparing license applications for qualified clients who wish to enter the emerging medical cannabis business in Missouri.
Agrios Global Holdings has been assessing the opportunity for expansion into Missouri pending the outcome of a proposed  constitutional amendment, the Medical Marijuana and Veteran Healthcare Services Initiative, which was approved on November 6, 2018. The measure has legalized marijuana use for medical purposes under state law, but does not change federal law, which still makes marijuana possession, sale and cultivation a federal offense.
Agrios Global Holdings' Director, Larry Ellison, a long-time advocate of the recent changes to the Missouri marijuana legislation, commented, "Potential cultivation, manufacturing and dispensary license applicants will require the guidance of someone with a clear understanding of the regulatory environment under which marijuana can be cultivated in Missouri. Agrios will offer services to assist clients with license applications and can offer those who obtain licenses further advisory and consulting services in areas such as dispensary operations, agriculture technology and agronomy services for improving crop quality."
Organto Foods Inc. today announced that the Organto Global Cannabis Group, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Medicannabis S.A.S. has filed registrations for a total of 144 cultivars (i.e., strains) and breeding lines as Fuente Semillera (translated, "Source Seed") with the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA), Colombia's agricultural authority.
All cannabis plants grown in Colombia must be derived from registered Fuente Semillera in order to be permitted for use.  Licensed cannabis producers had until December 31, 2018 to file these registrations. Medicannabis filed technical sheets for 144 cultivars and breeding lines in advance of the deadline thereby establishing a large and diverse genetic library for the company to cross-breed and develop numerous new cultivars with a wide variety of trait combinations (flavor, aroma, medicinal properties, phytochemistry, etc.).
"A large and broadly diverse genetic library is the foundation for a successful plant breeding program, key for the development of commercially successful varieties and product applications." commented Todd Dalotto, President of the Organto Global Cannabis Group.  "Our Fuente Semillera library will allow us to create new cultivars with seemingly infinite combinations of traits that include phytochemistry (i.e., high/low-THC, high-CBD, THCV, CBG, and terpenes), mold-resistance, aromas, flavors, and suitability to various climates and growing environments."
Cannvas MedTech Inc., a leading digital cannabis educator and business technology company, announced it has agreed to a deal with NexTech AR Solutions Corp., whose mission is to bring augmented reality (AR) to the masses through its web-enabled AR e-commerce, AR e-learning and AR live streaming platforms to create the first AR ecosystem, to collaborate on enhancing the user experience of its digital cannabis education kiosks across Canada.
"Working with NexTech allows Cannvas the opportunity to create a first-to-market AR-based cannabis learning program and lead the way for the digital evolution of education as it continues to intertwine with technology to generate new and exciting ways for people to take in information," said Steve Loutskou, Chief Operating Officer, Global Markets, Cannvas MedTech Inc. "It has been proven that companies who personalize the user experience through AR enjoy an improvement in their customer relations and overall profitability, and our goal through this partnership with NexTech is to take our Cannvas Kiosk to the next level and ensure users receive accurate and evidence-based cannabis information customized to their needs and location."
NexTech brings AR to a wide audience through its own AR ecosystem, featuring e-commerce solutions for websites, AR learning and education and AR live streaming for events. Its AR web-enabled e-commerce platform is currently integrated with Shopify, WordPress and Magento, and its e-learning platform "edCetra" has been used by Fortune 500 companies such as Imperial Oil, Bombardier and Staples, as well as the Library of Congress and others to educate and train employees.
Flower One Holdings Inc. today announced a new licensing agreement and Brand Partnership for cannabis-product fulfillment in Nevada with California-based, Old Pal, the popular lifestyle cannabis brand that offers the most affordable legal cannabis in the state of California. Flower One is now licensed to produce, manufacture and distribute the entire Old Pal product line to Nevada's 130 cannabis retailers, marking Old Pal's first out-of-state expansion and entry into the Nevada market.
"Flower One is thrilled to bring a California favorite, Old Pal, to the Nevada market to ensure that our retail partners and, subsequently, consumers have access to quality, affordable and abundant cannabis flower," says Ken Villazor, President and CEO of Flower One. "As Flower One continues to secure more Brand Partners for the Nevada market, we remain focused on meeting the needs of all levels of the value chain, ranging from affordable 'shareable flower,' like Old Pal's suite of products, to high-end luxury products."
Rusty Wilenkin, Co-Founder & CEO of Old Pal has had his sights set on a Nevada expansion since his California sales started to soar, "California has already taken off and we're positive that our second market will see even more success. The opportunity in Nevada is huge, with 55 million tourists landing in Nevada every year we really have the chance to showcase our brand on an international stage."
CannTrust Holdings Inc., one of Canada's leading, most trusted licensed producers of cannabis and the 2018 Canadian Cannabis Awards "Top Licensed Producer of the Year", announced it has obtained the necessary permitting from the Town of Pelham to proceed with its Phase III expansion with the construction process set to commence immediately.
The revised Phase III expansion is permitted for a footprint of up to 390,000 square feet, compared to the 600,000 square feet in the Company's initial application. However, with enhancements to the Phase III facility above and beyond the specifications initially contemplated, CannTrust maintains its total production capacity forecast of 100,000 kg per year after completion of the Phase III construction.
The enhancements to the Phase III expansion include investing in automation and a higher level of climate control. Given these enhancements and the time it has taken to obtain permitting, construction of the Phase III expansion is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2020. Initial harvest from the Phase III expansion is expected in the second quarter of 2020 and full production capacity is expected in the second half of 2020. In order to address local concerns from the emission of light from its facilities, CannTrust is proceeding to add additional fan ventilation so its shades can be completely closed, at minimal incremental cost.

Nasdaq CEO Writes "Crypto Currencies Could Still Be a Global Currency of the Future", London Stock Exchange Tech Selected for Crypto Exchange, Netherlands Publishes Regulatory Proposals and Huobi "Likely" to Launch Stablecoin in 2019

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:NDAQ)

As we come out of the long weekend the crypto market is still hovering around a total market cap of $120 billion USD, according to data from CoinMarketCap, after dropping from $124 billion on Sunday night. Flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) is trading for around $3600, followed by XRP and Ether (ETH), which are trading for $0.32 and $119, respectively.
In a post on LinkedIn, Nasdaq (NasdaqGS:NDAQ) President and CEO Adena Friedman wrote that "Crypto Currencies Could Still Be a Global Currency of the Future". The post, which was written ahead of Friedman's appearance at the World Economic Forum at Davos this week, outlined two possibilities for the future of crypto:
1) Either the innovation finds practical utility followed by years of steady and sustainable commercial progress and integration into the economic fabric (e.g., the Internet); or

2) The invention fails to achieve broad adoption and its commercial applications as medium of exchange are limited (e.g., the Segway).
The London Stock Exchange Group's (LSEG) technology provider, LSEG technology, has announced in a press release today that its Millenium Exchange technology has been selected by fintech company ATOM Group for its new digital asset exchange venue AAX. LSEG Technology CIO Ann Neidenbach commented:
"We are delighted to have been selected by ATOM to provide a best-in-class technology solution to help power its new exchange. It underlines Millennium Exchange's reputation for performance, scalability, flexibility and reliability and we look forward to working with the AAX team ahead of the launch in H1 2019."
report published by the Netherland's central bank, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), and the Netherlands Authority for Financial Markets (AFM), outlines recommendations for a regulatory framework of the crypto space. The report argues that, given the cross-borders nature of cryptocurrency, an internationally-coordinated regulatory framework is ideal. The two recommendations outlined in the report are:
  1. Introduce a licensing regime for fiat-crypto exchange platforms and crypto wallet providers, to ensure effective implementation of the revised European anti-money laundering directive.
  1. Amend the European regulatory framework to enable blockchain-based development of SME [small and medium-sized enterprises] funding, and reconcile the national and the European regulatory definitions of security.
Cointelegraph reports that crypto exchange giant Huobi could debut its own stablecoin this year. The article quotes Huobi CFO Chris Lee after a presentation in Singapore today, where he said:
"This year will be huge for stablecoins and we will be a part of that. Likely Huobi Group will launch its own stablecoin in 2019 in the first half of the year."

"Get Your #CBD On" - From Drinks to Edibles, CBD is the Trend to Watch; (OTC: $ISBG) (NASDAQ: $NBEV) (CSE: $KBEV.C) (CSE: $GGB.C)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 22, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the influx of CBD product purchase orders announced in 2019 as the demand for CBD products grows.
CBD continues to be the largest "buzz-word" in the cannabis sector and companies are wasting no time stocking their shelves with a diverse CBD product line-up as 2019 begins.
New Age Beverages Corp. (NASDAQ:NBEV), an organic and natural beverage company is betting on branding and name recognition to help take on the U.S. CBD-infused drinks market. In their recent press release, they announced that they have signed an agreement to develop and distribute Bob Marley cannabis beverages.
From the news: "The first product to rollout in the Marley+CBD portfolio will be Marley+CBD Mellow Mood, relaxation drinks in 15.5 oz cans with 25 mg of pharmaceutical grade CBD per serving. Initial market rollout to customers will be in Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and Michigan where cannabis is legal for responsible adult consumption."
Continued: "Retailers and distributors realize that it will be a long road for smaller CBD brands to gain traction and brand equity. Under the Marley brand platform, we are able to leverage a massive global brand with ties to healthy cannabis use, to ultimately grow a beverage brand beyond anything we have seen to date," said Michael Cunningham, Senior Vice President of sales for New Age.
Smaller, but just as ambitious, International Spirits and Beverage Group Inc. (OTC: ISBG), a brand incubator in the Global Wine & Spirits and CBD-Infused products markets recently announced its first purchase order for the Company’s new P19 CBD Gummies. The order exceeds $115K. In addition, the Company now anticipates revenues from its recently launched Health and Wellness segment to top $300K during Q1 2019 based on orders for CBD Gummies and other new product releases.
That would represent potential annualized y/y growth of 233% following full-year 2018 billed sales of $360K in comparable items and services.
ISBG CEO, Terry Williams, stated, "The removal of hemp from federal prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 will, according to all analysis we have received, indeed mean a broad expansion in the scale and scope of the total U.S. hemp industry. And experts expect this to have a dramatic and disproportionately positive impact on growth in the hemp-derived CBD products market segment. We expect this to be a major performance driver for ISBG Health and Wellness in 2019."
"With our expansion into the CBD products space, we now have enough logistical complexity to materially streamline costs through the implementation of our new supply chain technology," continued Mr. Williams. "Everything is suddenly coming together right now for this Company – the Farm Bill, strong early growth in our new Health and Wellness division, our Besado overhaul, our integration of our hybrid supply chain management system."
Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV) (OTC: KBEVF) another cannabis company in the CBD and beverage space announced its first purchase order with GNC Holdings, Inc. (GNC), a leading global health and wellness brand with thousands of retail stores across the U.S. and Canada.
It is the largest single order for product that Koios has received in its corporate history, and is for Koios's four most popular flavors, which will initially be available for purchase in approximately 2,700 GNC retail stores in the U.S. before the end of Q1, 2019.
Another company, Green Growth Brands (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXFannounced their recent agreement with DSW Inc. to sell hemp-derived CBD personal care products under the Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy brand at select DSW stores throughout the U.S.
The Agreement was received for 54,960 units and covers sales in 96 U.S.-based DSW stores.
The Agreement follows a successful test phase conducted last autumn in which Green Growth Brands sold select Seventh Sense products in 10 DSW stores in which 74.4% of product presented on shelves was sold during the first 10 weeks of the test period.
2019 looks to be a big year for CBD products, with headlines in USA Today reporting, "Cannabis food, drinks to be 2019's hottest dining trend, top chefs say."  If all goes according to analyst predictions, this could be a year of " Don’t Worry, Be Happy" for the sector.
