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 AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (CSE: AGRA) (OTCPK: PUFXF), Aphria Inc. (TSX:APHA) (NYSE:APHA), The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (TSXV: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF), Liht Cannabis Corp. (CSE: LIHT) (OTCQX: LIHTF) and SOL Global Investments Corp. (CSE: SOL) (OTCQB: SOLCF).
AgraFlora Organics International Inc., a growth oriented and diversified international cannabis company, announced that Propagation Services Canada has executed its first propagation supply agreement with Alta-Sun Samson Holdings Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cabbay Holdings Corp. The agreement calls for Propagation Services Canada to supply high-CBD cannabis plants for a 5-acre outdoor grow operation near Edmonton, Alberta.
"Having the ability to acquire high quality propagation plants for our outdoor cannabis operation near Edmonton, AB is a significant advantage for our business," said Andrew Morin Head Grower, Alta-Sun Samson Holdings Corp. and son of the former Chief of Enoch Cree Nation. "We can focus our efforts on the growing the highest quality cannabis for our primary customers without the overhead of planting and propagating our own cannabis seedlings. The timeline for AgraFlora's retrofit of their large-scale greenhouse works well with our application for a cultivation license and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership with AgraFlora and Propagation Services Canada."
"With the first phase of the retrofit of the 2,200,000 sq. ft. greenhouse complex scheduled for completion mid-2019, we are taking the necessary steps of establishing a customer base for our medical cannabis flower and propagating plants," said Derek lvany, President and CEO, AgraFlora Organics International. "Cabbay Holdings is Propagation Services Canada's first propagation customer and follows on the recently announced medical cannabis supply agreement with Namaste Technologies. 2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for AgraFlora and we will continue to expand the pipeline of premium customers for our high-quality cannabis products."
Aphria Inc. today announced that its Colombian subsidiary, Colcanna SAS has signed an exclusive agreement with the Federación Médica Colombiana ("FMC"), a national guild that oversees the ethical exercise of the medical profession in Colombia, to jointly develop an academic curriculum on the medicinal use of cannabis.
"Education in the medical community is critical for sustaining the advancement of medical cannabis in Colombia" said Gabriel Meneses, Vice President, LATAM & Caribbean at Aphria. "Colcanna is proud to make this exclusive arrangement with Federación Médica Colombiana, which will offer doctors and medical professionals across the country a credible and trusted source of information and training on medical cannabis."
The FMC has nearly 2,000 affiliated doctors and a database of more than 70,000 medical professionals that access the organization for research and educational resources, including through a virtual platform that offers certified courses on a range of subjects. The medical cannabis curriculum developed by Colcanna and FMC will be made accessible on this platform and will be supported by scientific events for the medical community.
The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. announced that as of calendar year-end, 7ACRES has 19 completed flowering rooms and is on track for all 25 flowering rooms to be completed in March 2019. Once completed, 7ACRES will have a greenhouse footprint of approximately 300,000 square feet, with the total facility reaching over 440,000 square feet. Supreme Cannabis expects 7ACRES to reach its estimated annual output of 50,000 kg by the middle of calendar 2019.
"We are thrilled with the progress made at our facility in Kincardine, Ontario and are excited to announce that we are nearing completion for all of our flowering rooms," said John Fowler, President & Founder of Supreme Cannabis. "In our view, 7ACRES sets the international standard for cannabis cultivation and allows us to grow craft-quality cannabis at scale. We believe consumer behaviour has validated our thesis that people prefer higher-quality flower and are willing to pay more for it, and as the market expands for derivative products such as vape pens and edibles we expect consumers will prefer products extracted from the highest quality inputs."
Liht Cannabis Corp. announced that Marapharm Washington LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of Liht Cannabis Corp., executed a Letter of Intent on December 18th, 2018, with a Canadian company that has developed "Biospherical Systems" which control and enhance cannabis cultivation.

The Provider will design, fabricate, supply and install an advanced "Biospherical System". The system incorporates proprietary technologies which can provide logistical, operational and financial benefits to the Company, over standard industry practices. This comprehensive agreement includes, commissioning and warranty of their equipment and future service required to facilitate operations. The pre-determined value of the systems is approximately $7,500,000 USD.
A definitive agreement formalizing this arrangement will be finalized within the coming weeks. Compensation will be in the form of royalties, and leaseback financing provisions; no compensation will be stock based; the final terms will be determined by the definitive agreement.

Under the terms of the transaction, SOL Global will acquire a 25 percent stake in the equity of GreenLight for €1.8 million, with an option to increase its stake to 51 percent.

#CryptoCorner: ETH Becomes Top #Altcoin Again, Philippines Postpone Final #ICO Regulation

Things are looking very green in the crypto market as we enter 2019. Data from CoinMarketCap indicates that total market capitalization is sitting at about $132 billion after having dipped a bit on Sunday night. Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading for $3866 and Ether (ETH) has reclaimed its position as the top altcoin after exhibiting 11 percent growth in the last 24 hours and trading for $150 at press time.
The Philippine Star reports that the Philippines' Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed the issuance of final regulations on ICOs. This follows a request from shareholders to have more time to examine the draft rules that have already been issued. Attributed to the protection of investors, the current draft rules require prospective ICO issuers to register with the SEC 45 days before the pre-sale date, and companies must submit records of all members involved in the startup.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India's central bank, has shelved plans to issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC), according to a report from the Hindu Business Line. The RBI had also set up an interdepartmental group to study cryptocurrencies, but the findings have not been made public. The article quotes Kunal Nadwani, blockchain expert and CEO of uTrade Solutions:
"Crypto-currencies will be mainstream and ubiquitous, and governments all over the world will launch fiat cryptocurrencies, whether out of compulsion or choice. Since governments have the power of taxation, and they can declare any digital token as legal tender for payment of taxes, they can have fiat tokens. But it will take time before central banks are able to make this transition because the economic effects of crypto are sizeable and largely unknown."
Business Live reports that South Africa's government has established a crypto assets regulatory working group to investigate all aspects of cryptocurrencies and related blockchain concepts. The country's finance minister, Tito Mboweni, said
"It is anticipated that, following broad industry comment and participation, the crypto assets regulatory working group will be ready to release a final research paper on the subject during the course of 2019."

Research Finds that AI Provides a $340 Billion Opportunity in Retail Sector

India's Economic Times reports that artificial intelligence offers a $340 billion cost-saving opportunity to the retail sector. The report draws from research done by Capgemini, titled: Building the Retail Superstar: How unleashing AI across functions offers a multi-billion dollar opportunity,which looked at 400 global retailers that are implementing AI use cases at different stages of maturity. Kees Jacobs, Vice President of Global Consumer Products and Retail Sector at Capgemini said:
"Our research shows a clear imbalance of organisations prioritizing cost, data and ROI (return on investment) when deploying AI, with only a small minority considering the customer pain points also. These two factors need to be given equal weighting if long-term AI growth, with all of the benefits it brings, is to be achieved."

CEVA's RivieraWaves Bluetooth 5 Licensed and Deployed by Optek Digital Technology and NICE Enhances Investigate to Assist Law Enforcement

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:CEVA) (NasdaqGS:NICE)

CEVA, Inc. (NasdaqGS:CEVA), a leading licensor of signal processing platforms and artificial intelligence processors, announced today that Optek Digital Technology Ltd. has licensed and deployed CEVA's RivieraWaves Bluetooth 5 Dual Mode IP in its latest OTK528X multimedia System-on-Chip (SoC), targeting artificial intelligence (AI), voice and music market segments and applications including hearables, wireless speakers, on/in ear headphone, multi-channel AVR, musical instruments and voice user interface (VUI).

"We are pleased to announce Optek as a licensee for our Bluetooth IP. Bluetooth remains the de facto choice for wireless audio connectivity and the OPT528X SoC leverages the latest Bluetooth 5 innovations to deliver a comprehensive consumer wireless audio experience."
NICE Ltd. (NasdaqGS:NICE) has enhanced its NICE Investigate Digital Evidence Management and Investigation, making it easier for law enforcement to fight crime through community engagement. According to the press release: "investigators can create a Public Appeal on the Community Portal for any active investigation in seconds, enabling citizens to easily upload videos, photos and tips." Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President of NICE said:
"The proliferation of camera-equipped smartphones and home surveillance systems is creating an avalanche of digital evidence which can provide valuable evidence in cases. But without the right tools to engage citizens and make it easier for them to share this evidence, departments will continue to struggle. NICE Investigate's enhanced community engagement capabilities bridge this gap."

A Big Idea can start with a Single Seed...


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 2, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a 2019 outlook for the sector as the 2018 US Farm Bill law plants the seeds of a new era for the US markets.
According to New Frontier Data, "The 2018 Farm Bill will restore industrial hemp to nationwide legal production for the first time since World War II, offering vast opportunities for the industry and investment in a market expected to triple in four years."
Continued: With the removal of hemp from federal prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA), the total U.S. hemp industry now looks to expand at a healthy 18.4% through a 5-year combined annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2018-2022. New Frontier Data's Hemp Business Journal estimates that, in leading all hemp product categories, the hemp-derived CBD market will grow from a $390 million-dollar market in 2018, to a $1.3 billion market (or 3.3x) by 2022, representing a 27.2% 5-year CAGR.
SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) just stated in recent news, "This is a huge win and opportunity for us. The company's subsidiary SingleSeed.com is an ecommerce-based business that sells and supplies industrial-based hemp cannabidiol (CBD) products. As hemp has become more mainstream and now a fully federally legal commodity the company plans to add more to its offering. Ranging from Biofuel to construction materials to extracting cannabidiol used to treat various ailments and wellbeing, industrial hemp now has an opportunity to be competitive in the global marketplace."
They also said, "Looking ahead to 2019, SinglePoint management is seeking new deals and currently negotiating potential acquisitions across different sectors and will continue to grow revenue through its acquisition model. Management is confident revenue growth through hemp-based initiatives will be successful through 2019 and beyond."
Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth Corporation, the world's largest diversified hemp and cannabis company, (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) commented on the passage of the Farm Bill saying, "Canopy Growth commends the United States government for passing the Farm Bill, a transformative piece of legislation that will create jobs and meaningful economic impact across the United States."
Continued: "Thanks to a deep hemp-specific portfolio of intellectual property acquired from Colorado-based ebbu Inc. and a landmark investment of USD $4 billion from Constellation Brands, management believes it is well-positioned to enter the US market quickly."
Canadian-based Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), a global leader in cannabis research and production said in December following a flurry of deal flow, "The Farm Bill in the U.S. presents an opportunity to enter the hemp-derived CBD industry and capitalize on an estimated US$22 billion market. Tilray has the expertise, team and supply in place to pursue this opportunity and looks forward to potentially expanding its product offerings to include hemp-derived CBD in U.S."
Another Canadian-based player, with a presence across five continents, Cronos Group
(NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) is on most investors' watch list following recent news of a C$2.4 billion strategic investment from Altria Group, Inc.
Following the news, during the company's conference call, Graeme Kreindler from Eight Capital asked about Altria's experience in the US market and how it would play a role. "So I was wondering if there's been any discussions about what that could mean for Cronos in the event of a passing of a farm bill here, on a strategic initiative there?"
Cronos Group's CEO Mike Gorenstein said, "Sure. I think any market, it's great being able to draw from that experience. One of the things that we found is going to be really important is the experience that Altria has dealing with agencies like the FDA and making sure that, again, we follow all the steps, we follow the right processes to make sure that we're bringing products on in a responsible fashion and in collaboration with regulators. So I think that will be very, very important for us."
With headlines like,' 'Financial cascade': How the U.S. farm bill could unleash a multi-billion dollar CBD business overnight' investors are looking to 2019 as a big year for cannabis stocks but as always, are reminded to keep their feet firmly planted in the ground with some due diligence.
