Latest trend gaining momentum in the market - advanced techniques in cannabis cultivation


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 8, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot of companies investing in new methods of cannabinoid production to meet the growing demands of the future.
According to Research and Markets, "The legal cannabis market is projected to register a CAGR of over 27% by 2023 and the latest trend gaining momentum in the market is the use of advanced techniques in cannabis cultivation."
Leading the way, NASDAQ's first listed cannabis stock, Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) and Ginkgo Bioworks, the organism company, in early September announced a partnership to produce cultured cannabinoids.
Cronos Group described the benefits of the deal in their presentation "Through biosynthesis Cronos Group and Ginkgo Bioworks are creating a landmark partnership that will reduce the cost of cannabinoid production, create commercial scale and the ability to access rare cannabinoids."
Continued: "Gingko Bioworks' platform could enable Cronos Group to produce the cannabinoids (ingredients) that are essential for product development at a fraction of the cost, at commercial scale and at higher purity than what is currently available."
One of the goals of the partnership, (estimated at $100M US with cash and stock and incentives) is to "Target production yields at a fraction of the cost of traditional cannabinoids production in plants: < $1,000 USD per KG."
Cronos Group will have the exclusive right to use and commercialize the key patented intellectual property related to the production of the target cannabinoids perpetually and globally.
Following similar mindset, SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB:SING), a company positioned in the sector with its subsidiary SingleSeed.com, an ecommerce-based business that sells and supplies industrial-based hemp cannabidiol (CBD) products, just announced its investment in TorusMed Inc. to develop CBD Cell Cultures from industrial hemp.
From the news: "The goal of the project is to ultimately have CBD that is pharmaceutical grade and cultivated in lab settings to ensure consistency. This project has the opportunity to change the way industrial hemp and CBD are manufactured reducing time, cost and valuable resources while increasing consistency, safety and scalability of the plant."
Continued: The specific aim of this is to develop the optimal protocols for the mass production of CBD from cell cultures of industrial hemp. The production of CBD from cell cultures is far more advantageous than from open-field farm cultivation of industry hemp for the following reasons: (1) independence from outside weather and seasonal climatic conditions; (2) environmentally-controlled production system in laboratory flasks and in scalable industrial photobioreactors; (3) optimal protocols for cell biomass growth and CBD production; (4) greater resource-use efficiency in terms of water, land nutrients, etc.; (5) greater convenience and efficiency in scale up of production in terms of using scalable industrial photobioreactors, among others. The specific objectives of the study include: (1) To develop and establish cell cultures of industrial hemp both in the form of callus cells and of liquid cell suspension cultures; (2) To optimize the biomass growth of the cell suspension cultures in terms of nutrient media, light intensity, light quality and carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichment; (3) To optimize the CBD yield of the cell suspension cultures in terms of nutrient media, light intensity, light quality, and carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichment; and (4) To demonstrate the cultivation of the cell suspension cultures in scalable Photobioreactor. The specific aim for a potential Year 2 for the study is to develop the protocols for the cultivation of the cell cultures and production of CBD in industrial-scale Photobioreactors.
In September, Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OGI) (OTCQX: OGRMF), a licensed producer of medical marijuana reported the closing of its strategic investment ($10 million Cnd) in Hyasynth Biologicals Inc., a biotechnology company based in Montreal and a leader in the field of cannabinoid science and biosynthesis.
From the news: "Hyasynth's patent-pending enzymes, yeast cells and processes make it possible to produce phytocannabinoids and phytocannabinoid analogues in genetically modified strains of yeast. Hyasynth's proprietary enzymes and yeast strains have to date allowed them to make CBG, CBD and other cannabinoids for novel and specialized products including vapourizable cannabis products and cannabis-infused beverages, as well as pharmaceutical ingredients, for a fraction of the cost of traditional plant-based production. The company will continue to develop a comprehensive platform of cannabinoids beyond THC, CBD and CBG for both medical and recreational use."
Another company looking at utilizing yeast for the production of cannabinoids, Intrexon Corporation (NASDAQ: XON) in September announced advances in the development of its microbial platform to produce cannabinoids for medical uses. "Through Intrexon's proprietary technologies, the Company has engineered a yeast strain to produce low-cost, robust and consistent cannabinoid outputs via fermentation. This process utilizing microbes has the potential to provide greater supply-chain security and avoids the resource-intensive isolation that often leads to quality and quantity variability in end products."
With yeast currently used in the making of beer and wine and the recent deal flow in the beer/cannabis and CBD beverage market, it seems like a natural next step for the cannabis industry to be researching how yeast can play a future role.

Investorideas.com Newswire - #Tech News: Gopher (OTCQB: $GOPH) Launches Avant! AI Robotics Program



#Tech News: Gopher (OTCQB: $GOPH) Launches Avant! AI Robotics Program

Goal of Program is to Create Robotics-Focused Artificial Intelligence Platform to Enable Significantly Increased Autonomous Functionality

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


San Diego, CA - January 8, 2019 (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 started research to adapt its Gopher Avant! AI in the robotics field, using a programmable robot platform.
The robotics program research will continue through 2019. Gopher plans to integrate its Gopher Avant! AI engine into robot platforms; the program's goal is to create autonomous machines that will be capable of performing tasks under Avant! AI control, as well as becoming an information resource platform.
The goal of Gopher's Avant! AI machine is to enable efficient robotics application development including functionality for vision (objects/face recognition), grasping (grasping objects, physical orientation), motion control (obstacle avoidance, dynamic interaction) and data aggregation to expand its own knowledge-base (informational resource, understanding physical and logical data patterns to act accordingly). In addition, Gopher's Avant! AI incorporates machine learning-based, self-learning capabilities. The goal of this research is to to create a system that "thinks" and makes decisions.
Danny Rittman, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer at Gopher, commented, "AI and machine learning are no longer in an infancy stage with regard to robotic applications providing constant improvement in order to make an extraordinary impact on our lives. As part of our ongoing Avant! AI research & development, our plan is to push the boundaries of what is possible within the robotics arena over the next few years. At the root of AI robotics is the ability for machines to be able to perform tasks characteristic of human intelligence. These include identifying, understanding and recognizing patterns, understanding natural language, learning, and solving problems. Our pursuit envisions Avant! AI embedded within robotic machines, not just as a programmable machine that carries out a set of tasks autonomously, but as a cognitive entity that will reach one day a self-aware type of operation similar to human cognition.
"We believe Gopher's Avant! AI, implemented in robots, can be the brain for advanced technology in wide variety of domains, among them medicine, autonomous vehicles including automobiles, drones and spacecraft, aviation, military, education and many more. Most of today's robots are only programmed to carry out tasks without thinking; Gopher's goal is to create self-learning robots based on machine learning logic.
"The goal of our robotics program is to seek to address the need for robots to perform increasingly complex tasks and to have the capability to become a self learning and thinking entities. Today's launch of this program is just the first step."
Douglas Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Gopher, added, "A report from Research and Markets indicates that the global artificial intelligence market accounted for $15.7 billion USD in 2017 and is projected to reach $300.26 billion USD by 2026. We believe the robotics program launched by our CTO, Dr. Danny Rittman, when implemented, will be essential to organically grow our company in such an impactful and far-reaching market."

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 iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. (CSE: IAN) (OTCQX: ITHUF), CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. (CSE: CROP) (OTC: CRXPF), Rubicon Organics Inc. (CSE:ROMJ) (OTCQX:ROMJF), INVICTUS MD STRATEGIES CORP. (TSXV: GENE) (OTCQX: IVITF), Cannamerica Brands Corp. (CSE: CANA) (OTCQB: CNNXF) and AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (CSE: AGRA) (OTCPK: PUFXF).
iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc., which owns, operates, and partners with best-in-class regulated cannabis operations across the United States, announced that it has opened its first and flagship dispensary in New York on December 30, 2018. The dispensary, located at 202 Flatbush Avenue directly across from Barclays Center and Atlantic Terminal, is the first in Brooklyn, New York's largest borough, with a population of roughly 2.6 million people. The dispensary will operate under iAnthus' "Citiva" New York dispensary brand.
"I'm excited that Citiva has opened Brooklyn's first regulated medical marijuana dispensary, providing valuable palliative care to certified patients in our borough," said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. "Dating back to my time in the State Senate, I have long advocated for expanding the use of alternative treatments in the battle against serious medical conditions. My administration advocated hard for our borough to be part of the State's medical marijuana program, and the long-awaited opening of this dispensary translates to quality local jobs and quality local access to critical health care."
The 2,000 sq. ft. retail location initially will offer more than 30 locally-sourced, lab-tested products, including vape cartridges and tinctures, dispensed by a highly-knowledgeable patient care representatives.
This is the first of Citiva's four licensed dispensaries, with additional locations to include Wappingers Falls (set to open in late-January 2019), Staten Island and Chemung County. In conjunction with the opening of the Brooklyn dispensary, Citiva is launching a delivery program with the ability to deliver products all across the borough.
CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. announced today its 49% owned subsidiary Elite Ventures is nearing completion of a 1,600 square foot genetics, tissue culturing and micropropagation laboratory at the company's Nevada Farms. The objective of the team and the lab will be to provide 10,000,000 plant starts for the company's 2,115 acres of CBD farms. By propagating in the lab, the company will save approximately $3.0 Million in seed and planting costs for the 2019 season.
The laboratory team's objective, beyond saving on planting costs, is the mandate of developing proprietary genetics to maximize yield and provide the company a Global edge with specific attentions paid to the over 100 other photocannabinoids beginning with cannabinol (CBN) and cannabigerol (CBG).
Cannabis industry analysts, The Brightfield Group, estimate the hemp-CBD market alone could reach $22-billion by 2022.
CROP CEO, Michael Yorke, stated: "The development of this genetics and micropropagation lab is further demonstration of our team's dedication to keeping our genetics portfolio and brands at the fore front of this industry. Teams worked steadily through the later part of the year and Holiday season on the construction and development of this lab which will save the company and our stakeholders a significant amount in 2019 and beyond."
Rubicon Organics Inc., a premium organic cannabis company with operations in Canada, California and Washington, announced that its common shares are now trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker symbol "ROMJF", while Rubicon Organics' common shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the ticker "ROMJ".
The OTCQX Best Market provides U.S.-based investors with access to trade Rubicon Organics through regulated U.S. broker-dealers.
"Rubicon Organics' expansion into the OTCQX is a milestone that brings the Company greater access to investors. Trading on the OTCQX in the U.S. can enhance liquidity for our shareholders and allow a broader group of investors to participate in the North American cannabis market through Rubicon Organics", commented Jesse McConnell, CEO.
INVICTUS MD STRATEGIES CORP. announced that it has entered into a binding letter of intent to create a joint venture with Cannamerica Brands Corp. and CBDistribution Company Ltd. with the intention of acquiring hemp biomass for extraction into CBD isolate using purpose-built facilities for large scale CBD extraction.
In December 2018, President Trump signed the $867 billion Farm Bill which recharacterized hemp from a schedule 1 drug with high potential for abuse to the lowest-level listed drug (schedule 5) which includes small doses of medicines such as codeine. This allows for mass hemp production in the United States that is federally legal and the ability to move hemp across state lines. Hemp is defined in the United States as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC. CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis, has had a surge in popularity over the past couple of years based on its a huge range of potential health benefits and uses.
Subject to Board approval and completion of satisfactory due diligence, Invictus intends to enter into a definitive joint venture agreement on or before January 31, 2019. Each of the parties will receive a one-third share of the joint venture in exchange for their respective contribution:
Invictus will contribute a line of credit ("LOC") in the amount of $5 million CAD which will be used to acquire extraction equipment, build out infrastructure and fund working capital. The LOC will be secured by a general security agreement over the joint venture and will bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum;
CannAmerica is a pioneer in the science of cannabis extraction and post processing, precision dosing of product, and formulation of concentrates and oil-based vaporization products. The Company had sold more than 14 million cannabis infused gummies in the states of Colorado and Nevada, and will contribute operational expertise, will source the property, extraction equipment, staffing and manage operations; and,
CBDC will contribute the sourcing of Hemp Biomass procurement, branding, marketing and the commercialization of the finished product, including but not limited to CBD Isolate.
"We are thrilled to partner with CannAmerica and CBDC to extract and supply CBD to the US market. This partnership represents a great opportunity to continue expanding our footprint beyond Canada and capitalize on the United States' federal legal framework that is now in place to produce and sell CBD," said George E. Kveton, CEO of Invictus.
AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (formerly PUF Ventures Inc.), a growth oriented and diversified international cannabis company, announced that it has engaged good manufacturing practices (GMP) facility experts to design post production exports for the European Union (EU) in preparation for the first crop of cannabis to be planted at its the large-scale Delta Greenhouse Complex later this year. The Company has also initiated discussions regarding supply agreements and product development partnerships with several European Union based pharma companies.
"I am very pleased to announce we have engaged European GMP facility experts to design post production products for export markets," said Derek Ivany, President and CEO, AgraFlora Organics International Inc. "The first 250,000 square feet of cultivation space at Propagation Services Canada's Delta Greenhouse Complex will be coming online in mid-2019 and it is important that we have multiple sales avenues for our final product. We have taken steps to establish our domestic distribution network and have initiated discussions with multiple pharma companies based in the European Union to establish an export market. We expect to make an further announcement regarding domestic and export supply and product development agreements in the first half of 2019."
AgraFlora's management team is actively establishing a customer base for its medical cannabis flower and propagating plants including the recently announced medical cannabis supply agreement with Namaste Technologies and propagation plant supply agreement with Cabbay Holdings Corp.
The European Union represents a significant opportunity for AgraFlora as it is home to more than 500 million people, a population significantly larger than the combined population of the United States and Canada-the two largest cannabis markets in the world today. The legalization of medical and recreational cannabis is gaining traction across Europe including Germany, one of the fastest-growing medical cannabis marketplaces in the world.

BTC Back Over $4000 After Brief Market Rally, Japan's FSA Says No to Futures but Considering ETFs, Coinfloor to Take On Physically Delivered Bitcoin Futures in Asia and Colorado Senate Considers a Bill Exempting Crypto from Some Regulation

Though remaining fairly stagnant throughout the weekend, the crypto market experienced a small rally on Sunday night, bringing total market capitalization to 136 billion USD, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Much of the market is seeing green with Bitcoin (BTC) breaking through the $4000 barrier and trading for $4028 at press time. It is trailed, as usual, by Ether (ETH) and XRP which currently trade for $153 and $0.37, respectively.
Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA), the country's financial watchdog, is considering the approval of crypto ETFs, according to a report from Bloomberg. The consideration of ETFs follows the FSA's decision not to support crypto futures trading.
Elsewhere, Bloomberg reports that CoinfloorEX, a unit of UK crypto exchange Coinfloor, will take on physically delivered bitcoin futures trading in Asian markets. The platform will now be called Coin Futures and Lending Exchange, or CoinFLEX, and will be run by Coinfloor co-founder Mark Lamb. Lamb said:
"Crypto derivatives could become an order of magnitude larger than spot markets and the main thing that's holding back that growth is the lack of physical delivery. Volumes are reduced because of a problem of trust when it comes to cash-settled trades."
Recently released documents reveal a bill being considered by Colorado's senate that would see an exemption for cryptocurrencies from certain securities laws. An excerpt from the bill summary explains how easing some of the barriers on companies in the crypto space can help them promote jobs and growth in the local economy:
"...CREATING A COLORADO DIGITAL TOKEN ACT,WITH LIMITATIONS TO PROTECT CONSUMERS, WILL ENABLE COLORADO BUSINESSES THAT USE CRYPTOECONOMIC SYSTEMS TO OBTAIN GROWTH CAPITAL TO HELP GROW AND EXPAND THEIR BUSINESSES, THEREBY PROMOTING THE FORMATION AND GROWTH OF LOCAL COMPANIES AND THE ACCOMPANYING JOB CREATION AND HELPING MAKE COLORADO A HUB FOR COMPANIES THAT ARE BUILDING NEW FORMS OF DECENTRALIZED "WEB 3.0" PLATFORMS AND APPLICATIONS."
