U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Gets Twitter Buzzing with Tweet on Farm Bill


Point Roberts, WA - December 11, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing opportunity in the sector with the expected imminent passing of the US 2018 Farm Bill.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell got the Twitter space buzzing today when he said,"With today's signature, my provision to legalize industrial hemp is one step closer to reality."
For investors, the big question is what does this mean for the sector when it passes?
Cabot Wealth said last week in an article, What the Farm Bill Means for Cannabis Stocks, "If the Farm Bill passes with hemp legalization intact, it could herald boom times for the CBD industry, with giant retail players like Walgreens and CVS and Walmart becoming the biggest retailers. In fact, Bethany Gomez, the director of research for the cannabis research firm Brightfield Group, said, "Once CBD is fully legalized, we expect that market to absolutely explode, with sales hitting $22 billion by 2022, which is higher than the U.S. cannabis industry."

Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), talking about being ready to capitalize on the Farm Bill, said on the company's third-quarter earnings call, "Tilray's $500 million in cash, its Nasdaq-listing and its global reach "gives us advantages to very quickly deploy capital in the U.S." if Congress passes the farm bill, which would legalize non-intoxicating cannabidiol derived from hemp."
Making headlines in the sector recently, with news on December 7th that Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) entered into a subscription agreement with tobacco company Altria Group, Inc., Altria agreed to make an approximately C$2.4 billion equity investment in Cronos Group. "This strategic partnership provides Cronos Group with additional financial resources, product development and commercialization capabilities, and deep regulatory expertise to better position the Company to compete, scale and lead the rapidly growing global cannabis industry."
CNN, reporting on the Cronos deal sees this partnership and others benefiting even more with the passing of the Farm Bill, "Congress may finally pass the Farm Bill which would make it legal to produce hemp and potentially open the door for more products containing cannabidiol or CBD."
Benchmark Co. analyst Mike Hickey is betting on Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) to be a winner from the passing of the Farm Bill.
MarketWatch reported "Hickey is expecting the Farm Bill to be approved by year-end, effectively legalizing CBD or cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, which is used in a variety of medical products. The bill would remove industrial hemp from the government's list of controlled substances and is expected to open the market for rapid expansion."
Continued: "We believe WEED will invest meaningful capital into the U.S. after CBD legalization and leverage the Constellation Brands manufacturing profile to create CBD beverages; we expect a deployment strategy already firmly in place and will provide for near term growth," Hickey wrote.
American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) CEO and Interim Chairman Ryan Fishoff said, "The passage of the 2018 Farm Bill will remove any lingering roadblocks to the mainstream acceptance of CBD infused products. Once Hemp is legalized, CBD will not be considered the scarlet letter that it is now in some retail circles. The Company won't have to dance around it with our products by calling it hemp or hemp oil; we can go to market 100% full force with CBD branded products and not have to worry about it inhibiting our sales. This will open the door to big box retailers as well; Amazon, Wal-Mart, Krogers and many other large grocery and convenience store chains will not have hesitation carrying these types of products" Fishoff has been betting on the passage of the Farm Bill, thinking it was a matter of when, not ‘if'. American Premium is focused on harnessing the powers of its "hydro-nano" technology paired with cannabidiol (CBD).
His company just announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with the California-based subsidiary of Growpacker, Inc. (https://www.growpacker.com/) which offers local and international brands key services such as manufacturing, co-packing and distribution for THC & CBD infused products. Another building block was put in place on December 6th with American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPHreporting it entered into a partnership with Upside Health's product Ouchie, (www.ouchie.com) a pain management app and platform targeting the over 120 million Americans who live with chronic pain. Ouchie's goal is to empower patients to address pain management through various methods, including new treatments like cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). LALPINA CBD will be offered for sale on the platform, as part of the regimens utilizing CBD. Additionally, the product's efficacy and impact will be tracked on the platform to further enhance innovation efforts.
Also looking to grab market share in the CBD space and capitalize on the Farm Bill, Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (OTC: CBDS), the US-based marketer and manufacturer of cannabis & hemp products recently announced that it had secured a patent for a CBD lozenge that helps treat hypertension. This opens up a potentially huge medical opportunity for the Company, as hypertension is the one of the country's biggest ailments, where 7 out of 10 Americans are afflicted with some form of the condition. The global anti-hypertensive drugs market is expected to reach $23.1 billion in size by 2023, according to iHealthcare Analyst Report.
Investors looking to participate in the sector seeing headlines like ‘Hemp legalization included in new farm bill could 'open the floodgates' on nascent industry' are reminded that just like all sectors, there will be winners and losers and due diligence into the products, marketing and strategic partnering is key.

#Tech News: Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) Finalizes Avant! AI Knowledge Retrieval Algorithm (KRA), Commences Cognitive Development

Investorideas Featured Company: Gopher Protocol, Inc. (OTC:GOPH)


SAN DIEGO, CA - December 11, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher"), a company specializing in the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, including a global mesh network technology platform for both mobile and fixed solutions, announced today it has completed the Avant! AI Knowledge Retrieval Algorithm (KRA) and has commenced its cognitive system development.
In order to understand context in natural language, the content needs to be analyzed. This is considered an advanced task for AI systems. Avant! AI engine KRA includes robust semantic analysis for large text collections and multimedia objects, which includes several neural network architectures that have been incorporated into Avant! knowledge retrieval tasks. It is the goal to further expand the networks in the future, creating a cognitive system that will be able to be trained. The knowledge retrieval models are based on few methods, among them are feedback relevance, supervised probabilistic techniques and Bayesian inference networks. Each model is targeted to address a different aspect of the semantic analysis according to content type. The combination of wide spectrum of techniques to address knowledge retrieval enables fast and accurate context identification, extraction and understanding.
"One of the most important and difficult tasks in information retrieval is to generate queries that can succinctly identify relevant documents and reject irrelevant documents. In Avant! AI we are addressing this task by context divide-and-conquer approach," provided Danny Rittman, Gopher’s Chief Technology Officer. "Our KRA system analyzes documents, identifies and indexes text and then assigns different technique to "understand" its meaning and make a decision if it is viable or nonrelevant. In the case where the text is providing essential information, it will be added to the relevant database, otherwise it will be rejected. Typically, it is difficult to accomplish a successful search/analysis at the initial search, therefore we conduct searches iteratively and reformulate queries based on evaluation of the previously retrieved documents. One of the advanced methods that we developed is for automatic generation of improved queries. This method is a derivative of relevance-feedback technique. A query can be improved iteratively by taking an available query terms and adding more from the relevant documents, while subtracting terms from the irrelevant documents. This approach, in addition to probabilistic learning strategies enables our Avant! AI to extract knowledge fast and with the highest accuracy. With its upcoming cognitive capabilities users will be able to train Avant! with knowledge and information," continued Dr. Rittman.
About Gopher Protocol Inc. (http://gopherprotocol.com)
Gopher Protocol Inc. (GOPH) ("Gopher") (http://gopherprotocol.com/) is a development-stage company which considers itself a native IoT creator, developing Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled mobile technology platforms. Gopher has a portfolio of Intellectual Property that, when commercialized, will include smart microchips, mobile and security applications and protocols, and supporting cloud software. Gopher’s system envisions the creation of a global mesh network. The core of the system will be its advanced microchip technology that can be installed in any mobile or fixed device worldwide. Gopher envisions this system as a low-cost, secure, private mesh network between any enabled devices, providing shared processing, advanced mobile database management/sharing and enhanced mobile features as an alternative to traditional carrier services.

Interview with Gath3r Founder and CEO Raghav Jerath

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:NDAQ)

Investorideas.com recently spoke with Raghav Jerath, founder and CEO of Gath3r, about the state of the crypto market and the increasing interest coming from institutional players in the space.
At press time, CoinMarketCap indicates that total market capitalization is sitting at $111 billion USD. This is long way from the peak of about $830 billion seen less than a year ago in January. Jerath does not view the performance of the market this year, or the most recent downtrend witnessed in the past few weeks, as being any special cause for concern. He highlighted the seeming tumult that has characterized the market, in particular the flagship cryptoasset Bitcoin (BTC), to indicate that downtrends are not without precedent.
"This isn't the first and it's not going to be the last downtrend, and it's not going to be the last bump in the road," he said. "This is just a small hiccup. It was needed, this type of correction. If you look at the history of Bitcoin, specifically Bitcoin's price over the last five, six or seven years - it has had major corrections of 80 to 90 percent. So, it's nothing crazy or unusually out of order."
Jerath emphasized the important developments that are taking place with regulation, development and adoption as indicators that crypto is a lot healthier than many naysayers would have us believe.
"There's a lot of positive things happening in the space," he said. "Technology is evolving, we're seeing further adoption and most importantly we're seeing a friendlier regulatory stance coming about from multiple nations."
Jerath also highlighted the interest shown by the likes of Nasdaq (NasdaqGS:NDAQ) as being a sign that the crypto space is becoming more legitimate.
"If you're seeing institutional investors, or at least the gatekeeper for them, showing interest - it's a very positive sign," he said. "When you're seeing institutional players such as Nasdaq … coming in, it shows that there's a high amount of interest from very sophisticated players looking to enter the market because they see the potential clearly. That does two things. One, of course there's going to be major effects on the actual price of cryptoassets, and then it's going to fuel adoption."

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.
Today we're looking at announcements from Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB), Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. (CSE:ISH), Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) and GrowLife, Inc. (OTCQB: PHOT).
Aurora Cannabis Inc. announced today that, further to the Company's press release dated December 7, 2018, the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Farmacias Magistrales S.A., subject to customary due diligence provisions, the completion of definitive agreements, and regulatory and government approval.
As previously announced, Farmacias recently became Mexico's first and only federally licensed importer to date of raw materials containing THC, gaining the necessary licenses, facilities, and permissions to import raw THC material, and manufacture, store, and distribute medical cannabis products containing over 1% THC. This transaction firmly establishes Aurora's first-mover advantage in one of the world's most populous countries, where more than 130 million people will have federally legal access to a range of Aurora's non-flower medical cannabis products containing THC.
Under the regulations governing the Mexican medical cannabis market, domestic cultivation, import or sale in Mexico of dried flower products is prohibited. Consequently, Farmacias is the only company to date with the ability to supply THC containing products, and the only THC-containing offerings available initially will be Aurora-sourced higher-margin derivative products.
Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. today announced it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced investment agreement with Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) and its wholly owned subsidiary High Park Holdings Ltd.
Pursuant to the closing, Inner Spirit received $2.25 million in consideration for the issuance of 11,335,013 common shares of Inner Spirit at a deemed price of approximately $0.1985 per share.
This is the first tranche of a total investment of $4.5 million by Tilray into Inner Spirit. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, on the third business day following the date which is six months after closing of the first tranche, subject to certain conditions in favour of each party, Tilray and Inner Spirit will exchange common shares valued at an additional $2.25 million based on the 10 day volume-weighted average price of each company's shares at the time of issuance.
"Partnerships and cross investments are key strategies we're using at Inner Spirit to grow our Spiritleaf retail brand and create value for investors in the cannabis market. We see Tilray's investment as an endorsement of the Spiritleaf store concept by a leading industry player as we prepare to further extend the Spiritleaf brand throughout Canada with High Park's product portfolio highlighted in our retail locations. We look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship with Tilray and High Park," said Darren Bondar, President and CEO of Inner Spirit.
Hemp, Inc., a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with bi-coastal processing centers including the largest multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere (in Spring Hope, North Carolina), announced today that New Mexico has passed Proposal 1, which would allow farmers to cultivate hemp at the industrial level.

There are now 41 states in the nation that have legalized hemp, and at least 39 have allowed for hemp cultivation and production programs. The hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) market is expected to hit $591 million this year. There are no signs of slowing, either, as the market is projected to grow 40 times this size-to $22 billion by 2022, according to a report by Brightfield Group.
"We are delighted to be at the forefront of the re-emergence of the industrial hemp industry," said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. "This opportunity offers us the privilege to boost the economies of rural U.S. towns that have found it nearly impossible to turn a profit growing wheat or corn as a small farm."
Hemp, Inc. has already created strategic partnerships with farmers across the U.S. in states including North Carolina and Oregon, providing them with services including drying, curing and storing of industrial hemp. Additionally, Hemp, Inc. is also expediting the development of a Veterans Village Kins Community in Arizona, where veteran participants would work in the planting, harvesting, and production of hemp. This hemp, in turn, will be used in Hemp, Inc.'s growing line of hemp-based products and for other applications.
GrowLife, Inc., one of the nation's most recognized indoor cultivation product and service providers, today announced that it held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on December 6, 2018. At the meeting, more than 90 percent of shares were voted and all items put forward by management were passed by a majority vote.
"Yet again, I am honored by our shareholders' enthusiasm and the trust they have bestowed in our management team. This was demonstrated by the overwhelming participation and the passage of all proposed motions," said GrowLife CEO Marco Hegyi. "We have one of the largest shareholder bases in our entire industry and to have so much support for our vision of continued expansion is beyond encouraging. We had a significant majority of shareholders approve the motions put forth, including a prospective reserve split in shares enabling our company to seek more high-quality investment in the future.
The result of this meeting, combined with GrowLife's recently closed rights offering that allowed the company to raise approximately $2,500,000, will support our growth through continued acquisitions, strengthening our financial health, and funding our commitment to research and development on products that deliver on our value proposition. We are committed to helping lower the operating costs for our customers while increasing our value for shareholders. Next year is shaping up to be one of the most important for GrowLife, with new commercial products, such as our vertical grow system, set to hit the market. We will also be expanding our recently acquired EZ-Clone business."
