Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast - following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today we will be looking at announcements from Aphria Inc. Trading on the TSX and NYSE as APHA, Koios Beverage Corp. trading on the CSE as KBEV and Khiron Life Sciences Corp. trading on the TSX-Venture as KHRN.
But first, according to a new report from New Frontier Data, the authority in data, analytics and business intelligence on the global cannabis industry, the legalization of medical cannabis in Utah and Missouri and legalization of adult-use in Michigan will result in new markets that are projected to account for more than $1.2 billion in additional sales for a combined total of $2.1 billion in total legal sales by 2025. This increase will create more than 30,000 additional cannabis jobs over the same period.
"Cannabis legalization in some form has occurred in nearly 60% of the United States, and based on our research, legal retail sales revenues are currently estimated to be $10.3 billion in 2018; we now project the market to grow to more than $25 billion while supporting more than 642,000 jobs by 2025," said Giadha Aguirre de Carcer, Founder and CEO of New Frontier Data.
The revised projections take into consideration the outcome of four state ballot initiatives:
Michigan passed Proposal 1, legalizing recreational use and making Michigan the fifth largest legal U.S. cannabis market; combined with medical, annual sales are projected to reach $1.9 billion in total legal sales by 2025.
Missouri passed Amendment 2, legalizing state-wide medical cannabis; resulting annual retail sales are projected to reach $111 million by 2025.
Utah voters passed Proposition 2, legalizing medical cannabis; annual retail sales are projected to reach $63 million by 2025.
North Dakota voted down Measure 3, which would have allowed adults to grow, consume and possess as much cannabis as they want, without government oversight and without state taxation; annual recreational sales could have reached $67.5 million by 2025.
Aphria Inc. announced its proposed acquisition of CC Pharma GmbH, a leading distributor of pharmaceutical products to more than 13,000 pharmacies in Germany. The transaction, when closed, will strengthen the Company's end-to-end medical cannabis operations and infrastructure in Germany, a key market in Aphria's international expansion. It is anticipated that the transaction will close in January 2019.
"This acquisition strengthens our foothold in Germany, one of the most highly sought-after medical cannabis markets in the world," said Vic Neufeld, CEO of Aphria. "CC Pharma is cash-flow positive and has significant experience with regulatory requirements and international logistics. It will be a strong addition to Aphria's presence in Germany, providing deeper access to the important pharmacist channel and advancing our ambitious global growth strategy."
Founded in 1999, CC Pharma is a leading importer and distributor of EU-pharmaceuticals for the German market, with over €200 million in annual revenue. Aphria, through its subsidiary Aphria International, previously announced a supply agreement with CC Pharma to export approximately 1,200 kilograms of medical cannabis products from Canada to Germany. With Aphria's experience as a global cannabis leader, the Company will create a new division of CC Pharma dedicated to medical cannabis. CC Pharma operates a production, repackaging and labeling facility at its headquarters in Densborn.
Koios Beverage Corp. announced that the Company will be initiating a clinical study into the impact of CBD on the human brain.
Koios is already conducting a clinical trial on the impact of its nootropic supplements on the human brain, and released preliminary results on Oct. 9, 2018. Koios beverages and supplements contain a proprietary formula of nootropic, brain-enhancing nutrients.
The trial involved mapping the activity of the brain before and after subjects consumed Koios nootropic supplements.
Full clinical brain scans on Koios users show changes in brain activity in three main areas, all of which indicate improved cognitive function.
"The findings, although preliminary, are better than we could have expected," said Chris Miller, CEO of the Company. "Changes in the type of brain activity that we are seeing between the baseline that was mapped at the start of the study, and the effect on participants after several months of consuming our beverages, could have many positive implications."
Vice President of Sales Gina Burrus says the results are helping the Company in the design of future products, and so Koios has decided to launch similar trials of nootropics with CBD.
"It's long been known that CBD can have a dramatic impact on the human brain, all the way from helping people relax to treating people for epilepsy," said Burrus. "However, we don't yet know what impact CBD will have when combined with nootropics, and that's what this study is designed to tell us."
Both studies are being conducted by NeuraPerformance/Neuroptimize Brain Center, the go-to brain lab and physiotherapy clinic for Colorado's elite athletes, including the Denver Broncos football team. The lab's brain-mapping technique involves using sensors to measure the electrical activity within the client's brain.
NeuraPerformance/Neuroptimize is expected to release a full report within the next month, after which it will begin further testing of nootropics and CBDs.
Khiron Life Sciences Corp., an integrated medical cannabis company with its core operations in Colombia, welcomed the initiative presented yesterday by the incoming Government of Mexico through its next secretary of the Interior, Dr. Olga Sánchez Cordero, for the Regulation and Control of Cannabis in Mexico.
The General Law for the Regulation and Control of Cannabis, presented by Dr. Olga Sanchez will establish Mexico among Latin American countries that have legislated the use of cannabis for recreational, medical, scientific, research, industrial and commercial purposes.  Mexico has the second largest population in Latin America and 11.7 million potential patients for medical cannabis. (source: IMS Quintiles 2017). The new legislation will develop in more detail the conditions for recreational cannabis use already authorized by judicial decisions, and also define final details for medical use.
Alvaro Torres, Co-founder and CEO for Khiron stated, "Khiron is a leader in the medical cannabis sector in Latin America working with all levels of government, health professionals and patients to establish a safe and regulated cannabis environment. We welcome the presentation made yesterday by the next secretary of Interior, Dr. Olga Sánchez Cordero, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with the administration to develop a strong and successful cannabis industry in Mexico."
Former Mexican President and Khiron board member Mr. Vicente Fox stated, "As a Latin America focused company, Khiron is positioned to maximize the legislation proposed yesterday and to bring the benefits of a legalized cannabis environment to all Mexicans, which has the potential to reduce crime, increase prosperity and improve the health of our citizens."

Market Sees Red, Korean Bar Association Petitions State for Legal Framework, South Korea Pledges to Triple Blockchain Budget, Thai PM Calls for More Regulation of Crypto and Nine Leading Shipping Operators Launch Blockchain Network

The brief crypto bull-run we've seen this week may be over, as most of the top 100 coins listed by market cap are in the red today, according to CoinMarketCap. Total market capitalization is down $5 billion USD from yesterday, sitting at $214 billion USD at press time. However, with total market cap still being $10 billion higher than this time last week, it is perhaps too early to say definitively whether the market has lost momentum.
Reuters reports that South Korean lawyers publicly lobbied the government today to establish a legal framework for the cryptocurrency space. The Korean Bar Association rarely campaigns for the interests of particular tech or business groups, but Bar President Kim Hyun pushed for quick action in the space at a news conference held at parliament.
"We urge the government to break away from negative perceptions and hesitation, and draw up bills to help develop the blockchain industry and prevent side effects involving cryptocurrencies."
Korea Economic Daily reports that the country's government intends to triple the budget allocated to blockchain technology. The state will invest 40 billion won ($35.7 million USD) into distributed ledger technology and blockchain development. This did not please everyone, however, as Professor Han Ho-hyun of Kyunghee University felt the government could spend even more on the technology.
"I admit that it is difficult to secure 40 billion won by tripling next year, but [we] have to spend more [on our] budget. The size of other countries' [budget] is tens of trillion. We can invest more than 100 trillion won in three years."
Over in Thailand, Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam is calling for more control over cryptocurrency, according to the Bangkok Post. At the Counter Terrorism Financing Summit yesterday, Krea-ngam stressed the risk of terrorism, money-laundering and the anonymity provided by cryptocurrencies, making it difficult for authorities to track them.
"The negative impact of digital currencies has been discussed for some time, with several legal measures implemented to prevent their misuse. However, more efforts – both domestically and internationally – are needed to keep up with changing times and tactics."
The Maritime Executive reports that nine ocean carriers and terminal operators have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop the Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN), which is an "open digital platform" based on the blockchain. According to the report, the first planned application, which will be available in December 2018, will "allow shippers to digitize and organize their dangerous goods documents and automatically connect with relevant parties to streamline the approval process".

AI and Robotics Company Kebotix Finishes $5 Million Seed Round Led by One Way Ventures

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:BIDU)

Kebotix, a company "developing the world's first self-driving lab for materials discovery powered by AI and robotics", and founded by Harvard researchers, finished a $5 million seed round led by One Way Ventures. Other investors include Baidu Ventures, with backing from Baidu, Inc. (NasdaqGS:BIDU), Flybridge Capital Ventures, Embark Ventures, Propagator Ventures and WorldQuant Ventures. Kebotix CEO Dr. Jill S. Becker commented:
"We are building the materials company of the 21st century because how scientists discover new materials has not evolved since the 18th century. Being stuck in the 18th century significantly adds to the challenge of tackling climate change, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, water pollution and other urgent problems facing the world today."

Intel Drafts Model Legislation to Start Personal Data Privacy Discussion, Ancestry Adopts IBM Cloud and Seagate Works with IBM to Tackle Global Hard Drive Counterfeiting

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:INTC) (NYSE:IBM) (NasdaqGS:STX)

Intel Corp. (NasdaqGS:INTC) has drafted model legislation for lawmakers to encourage discussion of personal data privacy. The bill was influenced by the rise of new technologies like AI, which poses potential risks to privacy. David Hoffman, Intel's associate general counsel and global privacy officer explained the legislation:
"The collection of personal information is a growing concern. The US needs a privacy law that both protects consumer privacy and creates a framework in which important new industries can prosper. Our model bill is designed to spur discussion that helps inspire meaningful privacy legislation."
IBM (NYSE:IBM) has announced that consumer DNA network, Ancestry LLC, has has selected IBM Planning Analytics as-a-Service on the IBM Cloud for its business planning and forecasting processes. IBM worked with Ancestry to to create a high-speed analytics and forecasting solution on the IBM Cloud. Greg Adams, Vice President of IBM Business Analytics commented:
"Great companies like Ancestry understand the value that comes from leveraging advanced technologies like analytics through the cloud to improve things like performance, scale and efficiency.

#Cannabis Industry Gets Boost and Stocks Rise after 2018 Midterm Results and Jeff Sessions Resignation: DirectView Holdings (OTC: $DIRV), Cronos Group ( $CRON), Tilray ( $TLRY), Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO), (NYSE: $CGC)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - November 8, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering security and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing global opportunity for the cannabis market as new States vote on legalization in the U.S. midterms.
Voters in Missouri approved Amendment 2 on Tuesday, making it the 31st state in the nation to adopt an effective medical marijuana law. The measure was leading 64-36 with 49 percent of precincts reporting when The New York Times called the election.
Effective medical marijuana laws have now been adopted in 31 states, including Missouri, as well as in D.C. and the U.S. territories of Guam, Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands. Eighteen other states have adopted medical marijuana laws that are ineffective because they are either unworkable or exceptionally restrictive. Idaho is the only state without any form of medical marijuana law.
Excited about the momentum, DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC:DIRV), a company focused on ownership and management of leading video and security technology companies, today announced that the Company's CEO, Roger Ralston and CFO, Chris Cutchens, will be attending the 2018 MJ Business Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"The conference, held November 13th to 16th at The Las Vegas Convention Center, is the largest cannabis business conference in the world. MJBizCon is the preeminent conference to drive business deals and forge valuable connections with cannabis professionals in business today. The conference is estimated to house 20,000+ cannabis professionals and 1,000+ exhibitors for the preeminent event for industry professionals."
"DirectView management will attend the conference to meet with Cannabis industry professionals, showcase its state-of-the-art cannabis security and surveillance solutions and discuss the various regulations and mandatory security compliance requirements associated with the quickly evolving industry."
"DirectView recognizes a major opportunity for custom-tailored security, surveillance, access control and safety solutions that meet the regulatory and compliance requirements of the booming cannabis industry. According to the research report " Video Surveillance Market by System (Analog, & IP), Offering (Hardware, Software, & Service), Vertical (Commercial, Infrastructure, Military & Defense, Residential, Public Facility, & Industrial), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023", the overall market is estimated to grow from USD 36.89 Billion in 2018 to USD 68.34 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 13.1% between 2018 and 2023. The increasing concerns for public safety and security, growing adoption of IP cameras, and growing demand for DIY and spy cameras are the key factors driving the video surveillance market growth."
Roger Ralston, President and CEO of DirectView said, "The cannabis industry is quickly taking off here, especially today after the midterm elections and the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. One of the major concerns in the Cannabis industry is Security. DirectView launched its initiative to provide and install custom-tailored security solutions for the cannabis industry. It goes without saying then, that DirectView's attendance at this conference is only natural. We are looking forward to meeting with and networking with industry professionals and educating them on DirectView security and surveillance solutions and the various compliance and regulations associated with the industry."
Paul Rosen, currently the CEO and Chairman of Tidal Royalty, a company that invests in U.S.-based cannabis companies, as well as an original co-founder of the Cronos Group (TSX: CRON), (NASDAQ:CRON) was quoted  as saying, "I believe that Michigan legalizing adult use will one day be viewed as the tipping point towards full legalization at a national level. Aside from the fact that it is the 10th state to legalize adult use - and one of the most populous states in the nation - it is the first Midwest state to do so."
CBS News MoneyWatch took note of these big developments in the cannabis sector and the reaction from investors reporting, "Canadian pot company Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) rose 30 percent on news that U.S. Attorney Jeff Sessions would step down."
The article went on to say how not only were the companies "lifted by midterm ballot measure victories, but Tilray and other cannabis companies rose further on word Sessions had resigned. The nation's top law enforcer last January said he would work to revoke policy from the Obama administration that let states make their own rules on weed without hindrance from the federal government."
Continued: "Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED), (NYSE: CGC) and Aurora Cannabis, two other publicly traded Canadian pot companies, both rallied more than 8 percent.
Stocks in the sector were higher in after- hours trading as well on Wednesday.
As cannabis stocks continue to rise on the news of more and more favorable legislation, investors will be watching and waiting for the next big development; perhaps the passing of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill under a new Democrat House.
Reuters reported, "Collin Peterson, ranking member and presumptive new chair of committee, said passing the crucial agricultural legislation was going to be his top priority, with a deal possible as soon as next week during the lame-duck session."
