CANNA-DIANS CELEBRATE CANADA AND CANNABIS DAY JULY 1ST

July 1st, 2017 was a huge day for Canada- not only was it Canada’s 150th birthday, it was the 22nd annual Cannabis Day- bringing Canna-dians across the country together to celebrate.

This Cannabis Day was historic for two reasons- one, it was held for the first time at Thornton Park, and two, it will be the last Cannabis Day where cannabis is illegal (assuming all goes to plan!).

Whatever reason brought you to Cannabis Day, whether it was its famous Farmer’s Market, the live bands, or the array of speakers including Jodie Emery, Dana Larsen, and Freddie Pritchard, it was a day of joy and joints for all.

Thornton Park gave attendees more room to breathe (and smoke!) than the Vancouver Art Gallery which was Cannabis Day’s previous home for over two decades. Craig Ex, from Expert Joints, was broadcasting live for Pot TV and said that “Thornton Park was leaps and bounds better than the Art Gallery”, describing the overall vibe as “extremely positive”. That was great news, considering the drama of the past two years which has included arrests and an attempted takeover by a rival group.

Dana Larsen, one of the featured speakers and co-organizers, said that “Cannabis Day is a nice alternative to many booze-fests also happening on Canada Day”, and when you looked around the large crowd of relaxed and peaceful chronnoiseurs, you couldn’t help but agree.

Cannabis Infused Products Generating Mouth-watering Opportunities Across North American Legal Marijuana Industry
8:30 am ET November 15, 2017 (PR Newswire) Print
Innovation is a driving force behind enormous growth in the Legal Cannabis markets across the U.S. and Canada as new CBD Infused products continue to gain in popularity for consuming cannabis while exploring alternative choices to smoking. Even alcohol giant, Constellation Brands is keeping tabs on the marijuana industry as reports indicates the company is looking to pay about $191 million for a stake in a well known, large Canadian seller of medicinal-marijuana products. Although the company recently said it has no plans to sell cannabis in the U.S. or other markets until it's legal "at all government levels but for now, it's more a matter of identifying markets with growth potential", said Chief Executive Officer Rob Sands. Cannabis companies in the markets this week with developments include: Puration, Inc. (OTC: PURA), GreenGro Technologies Inc. (OTC: GRNH), CV Sciences Inc. (OTC: CVSI), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (OTC: ACBFF) (TSX: ACB), Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTC: BLOZF).
Puration, Inc. (OTC: PURA) today announced the company plans to have a cannabis infused beverage ready to launch in Canada in conjunction with the nationwide legalization of recreational marijuana expected in Canada in July of 2018. Deloitte estimates the market for legal marijuana in Canada could reach $8 billion . The Canadian Spirits market is $5 billion. "I originally became a Puration shareholder when I purchased the Puration distribution rights for Canada," said Brian Shibley, CEO of Puration. "I am a Canadian citizen and with my experience and contacts in Canada, I became interested some time ago in distributing Puration products in Canada. One thing has led to another and Puration has evolved. My interest in Puration has since grown, and so I have become the CEO. With the pending nationwide legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada, combined with Puration's experience in cannabis extractions and making cannabis infused beverages, I am even more enthusiastic today about distributing Puration products in Canada then when I originally came to the company. I think Puration's success with EVERx CBD Infused Water is laudable, but I think the opportunity to introduce a THC infused beverage in Canada is a much bigger opportunity than EVERx." Read this and more news for Puration at http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/pura.html
Puration has licensed a patented process for extracting cannabinoids from the cannabis plant. Today the company produces and markets a CBD Infused Sports Water. Puration introduced EVERx CBD Infused Sports Water earlier this year in March at Arnold Schwarzenegger's Annual Arnold Sports Festival (formerly the Arnold Classic) in Columbus, Ohio. The Arnold is host to more athletes than the Olympics with over 70 sporting events and over 18,000 athletes. EVERx CBD Infused Sports Water was featured in September at Joe Weider's Olympia Fitness and Performance Expo In Las Vegas. EVERx CBD Infused Sports Water is also now on shelves at Drug Emporium. The company recently announced adding Strawberry Kiwi and Lemon Lime flavors to its EVERx CBD Infused Sports Water. EVERx has become a leading brand name in the CBD infused marketplace and one of the only CBD infused products in the sports nutrition marketplace.
In other industry developments and market activity:
GreenGro Technologies Inc. (OTC: GRNH) closed up over 2% with over 2.3 million shares traded by the market close on Tuesday.

Rising Demand for Cannabis Oils Pushes Canada's Producers Into Overdrive
8:30 am ET November 15, 2017 (PR Newswire) Print
Licensed cannabis producers in Canada are growing at remarkable pace, swept forward by the country's legalization of medicinal marijuana in 2001 and impending legalization for recreational use of the plant, set for July 1, 2018. Amid demand for cannabis in various forms, oils are a significant contributor to the growth of leading producers that are keeping an eye on evolving market trends (http://nnw.fm/Xa32z). Key industry players such as ABcann Global Corp. (OTC ABCCF) (TSX-V: ABCN) (ABCCF Profile), Emblem Cannabis, Inc. (OTC: EMMBF) (TSX-V: EMC), Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC: EMHTF) (TSX-V: EMH), OrganiGram Holdings, Inc. (OTC: OGRMF) (TSX-V: OGI) and Supreme Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC: SPRWF) (TSX-V: FIRE) are leading the industry and adjusting their strategies to include mounting consumer demand for oils.
ABcann Global (OTCQB: ABCCF) (TSX.V: ABCN) is leveraging its position as a globally licensed, cost efficient producer of premium quality organic standardized medicinal cannabis to expand its product line to include cannabis oils. As one of Canada's first licensed cannabis producers, ABcann is significantly ahead of the curve when it comes to production capacities. The company's licensed and fully operational Vanluven Facility produces 1,000 kg annually. Construction on the company's Kimmett facility, an industry-leading, purpose-built, world class style facility, is under contract with another 65 acres under full Abcann ownership for future expansion plans. As noted in its corporate presentation (http://nnw.fm/W6rbx), ABcann's yield per square foot is 100 percent over the industry average.
Pivoting off its deep roots in pharmaceutical-grade cannabis, ABcann's wholly owned ABcann Medicinals, Inc. subsidiary in August launched CBD-Med, one of Canada's highest legal CBD:THC (cannabidol:tetrahydrocannabinol) ratio products available on the market (http://nnw.fm/sYv7g), under Health Canada regulations.
The launch of CBD-Med is on par with ABcann's broader strategy to diversify its product line and capture its share of demand for cannabis oils. Products that ABcann will have available for patients are expected to include a 1-1 THC/CBD drop, a high THC dropper and a high CBD dropper.
"The development of these products is in line with ABcann's corporate strategy as a premium product provider of organic, pesticide free cannabis," ABcann's executive chairman stated in the press release. "As the Company continues to scale production capacity, our product line will expand as we strive to increase shareholder value through capturing a larger market share of the current global medical markets."
CBD-Med's high CBD content is a vital differentiating factor. Although the virtues of THC have been loudly sung, many patients exhibit adverse reactions, such as short-term memory impairment, dysphoria (feeling uneasy for no apparent reason), increased levels of anxiety and even panic attacks to the cannabinoid. On the other hand, CBD is devoid of such side effects and, moreover, appears to mitigate the injurious effects of THC when taken in conjunction with it.
More than half (54%) the cannabis strains on the Canadian market have a high THC-CBD ratio, with THC over 15% and CBD less than 1%. Many others (29%) have less THC but negligible amounts of CBD, with THC less than 15% and CBD below 1%. Only 14% of strains have both THC and CBD levels that exceed 5%. And just 3% of strains have less than 1% THC and more than 9% CBD, a highly prized category in which CBD-Med can be found.
Emblem Cannabis, Inc. (OTC: EMMBF) (TSX-V: EMC.V) is also strategizing for its share of the market. Earlier this month the company was granted a license to sell cannabis oils (http://nnw.fm/0rdcB ). Late last year, Emblem was granted a supplemental license for the production of cannabis extracts. John Stewart, President of Emblem's Pharmaceutical Division has emphasized the importance of this license to the company's plan to provide high quality, differentiated cannabis products, in a variety of formats. Emblem plans to offer a selection of cannabis oils, including those from CBD dominant strains, THC dominant strains and strains with both CBD and THC content. The company believes cannabis oils and related formulations provide a level of consistency and dosage accuracy that cannot be achieved with dried flower. Such products also provide a method of consumption that many consumers find to be substantially more precise and convenient.
Meanwhile, Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQX: EMHTF) (TSX-V: EMH.V), through its Emerald Health Botanicals subsidiary, as a licensed producer is already offering eight oils with varying levels of THC, THCA, CBD, and THC to CBD ratios. The product line includes the company's recently launched CBD-25 and CBD-50 medical cannabis oils containing approximately 25 milligrams and 50 mg of CBD per milliliter (http://nnw.fm/mSfc3). The company believes that CBD-50 will provide a unique treatment option to doctors and patients seeking high CBD potency with minimal THC. Its management is of the opinion that CBD-50 contains the highest amount of CBD per milliliter on the ACMPR market today. Emerald Health Botanicals is now licensed to produce and sell both dried medical cannabis flower and medical cannabis oil in Canada. The subsidiary currently operates an indoor facility in Victoria, BC, and is making progress on expansion plans for a 32-acre property in Metro Vancouver and a joint venture with Village Farms that utilizes a 25-acre existing greenhouse complex in Delta, BC.
Moncton, New Brunswick-based OrganiGram Holdings, Inc. (OTC: OGRMF) (TSX-V: OGI.V) in June received an upgrade to its licensed producer status (http://nnw.fm/47QlM), allowing both the production and sale of cannabis oil extracts, as well as the company's current dried medical cannabis products. Quickly acting on that approval, OrganiGram released Shubie, a pure CBD edible oil that expands its range of cannabis oil offerings. Shubie is an ethanol-extracted cannabis oil formulated in an organic sunflower oil base (http://nnw.fm/RTd4Y). This 50ml formulation boasts 23.7 mg/ml CBD and 1.39 mg/ml THC. Like the other oils in the OrganiGram line up, Shubie was named for an iconic Atlantic Canadian waterway, the Shubenacadie River.
Supreme Pharmaceuticals' (OTC: SPRWF) (TSX-V: FIRE.V) wholly owned 7ACRES subsidiary recently received approval from Health Canada to begin cultivation at its 30,000 square-foot flowering rooms at the company's hybrid grow facility. The additional flowering rooms increases the size of 7ACRES' flowering facility to 40,000 square feet. 7ACRES, and thus Supreme, also has its footing in oils via a retail partnership with Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB) (OTC: ACBFF). In its fourth-quarter financial results, Aurora said sales of dried medical cannabis and cannabis oils contributed $5.6 million to revenues, of which $0.4 million (7.1%) was generated in Germany and $5.2 million in Canada (http://nnw.fm/MOgY2 ).
Adoption of cannabis oil continues to increase as a preferred alternative to cannabinoid consumption, providing cannabis cultivators with an unprecedented market opportunity paced by rising consumer demand.

Canada’s Cannabis Industry: Weed Picking Up Speed
As Canada prepares for the lifting of cannabis prohibition with legalization in July of 2018, there’s a push to increase the number of licensed producers.
Leading companies in this space include Canopy Growth Inc. (TSX: WEED) (OTC: TWMJF), Aurora Cannabis (TSXV: ACB) (OTC: ACBFF), MedReleaf Corp. (OTC: MEDFF), and MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE: MYM) (OTC: MYMMF).
Already, Health Canada has stepped up its game in granting Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) licences and expects to up the amount even more through the end of the year by streamlining the process.
This provides a window on the state of the industry and shows why markets are also embracing the coming rise.
The increased pace of growth has broadened the entry point that once was limited to major producers such as Canopy Growth Inc. (TSX: WEED) (OTC: TWMJF). That stock rose as high as $13 per share in February of 2017, but has since settled back to the $10 level.
In the process, a number of nimble new competitors have entered the game and made serious inroads toward mass production.
Early cannabis contributors following their success model include Aurora Cannabis (TSXV: ACB) (OTC: ACBFF), and MedReleaf Corp. (OTC: MEDFF), who are both leading the Licenced Producer category, as well as relative newcomer MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE: MYM) (OTC: MYMMF). MYM is gaining attention as it rolls out plans for one of the world’s largest cannabis greenhouses that will dwarf all other operators.
MOMENTUM CARRIES
The potential $22.6 billion cannabis industry is still in its early stages, and for investors there seems to be no limit on the potential value this sector can offer. And the momentum is driving everything.
Beyond basic medicinal or recreational consumption, cannabis offers several other high value derivatives that provide major potential for the industry as a whole.
The most widely used is the Cannabidiol compound of the plant, referred to as CBD.
CBD-only products deliver much of the medicinal benefits of the cannabis plant, only without the high that’s typically attributed to cannabis’ other yield, THC. That’s why you’ll notice CBD used in all types of therapeutic products from topical ointments to beverages and a wide variety of food products.
Legal in all 50 US states and Canada, CBD was responsible for $170 million in the US 2016, and is projected to hit $1 billion by 2020. The American marijuana industry as a whole is expected to hit $50 billion by 2026.
In order to reach a $50 billion market from its current state is going to require industry wide expansion with a focus first and foremost on growing capabilities. These need to expand, and at a pretty rapid pace.
MASS CULTIVATION IS KEY
To accommodate expansion, the cannabis industry is wrapped in a race to build the biggest, best, most sophisticated greenhouses in the world – and they’re succeeding.
Canopy’s Tweed facility in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, which covers 350,000 square feet of greenhouse space is currently the clear leader and the world’s largest marijuana greenhouse.
But that won’t last long.
Competitors such as at Aurora Cannabis began work on their Leduc facility near the Edmonton Airport, which is to be more than double the size, at a whopping 800,000 square feet of growing space.
That facility has a projected growing capacity of 100,000 kgs of cannabis annually.
No to be outdone, AmeriCann Inc. (OTC: ACAN) is planning to surpass Aurora’s new space, and has announced plans to build the largest cannabis greenhouse facility in the USA at roughly 1 million square feet to be located in Massachusetts.
But, here’s where MYM leapfrogs all of their plans: MYM Nutraceuticals and its majority-owned subsidiary CannCanada signed an exclusive deal with the Quebec municipality of Weedon to build a 1.5 million-square-foot cannabis production facility consisting of fifteen 100,000-square-foot-greenhouses.
As envisioned, this massive marijuana operation will be one of the largest grow operations on the planet, with the potential to produce over 150,000 kgs of cannabis per year—or roughly $750,000,000 annually at current market value.
That’s three quarters of a billion dollars in annual production from a single cannabis operation.
MYM’S SMART PLAY
MYM Nutraceuticals has taken a brilliant tact in locating its new facilities.
The cannabis producer has worked in tandem with the municipality in Weedon to create jobs and spark an entire industry in the process. Accordingly, the plans will see Weedon itself acquiring the 329 acres of land for MYM to build on.
The first phase of the Weedon plan, which accounts for 300,000 square feet of greenhouse space, has both architectural and security plans completed. The additional four phases are still in development.
While the Weedon facility is at the forefront, MYM has advanced on another Quebec-based project, with the recent approval and permitting to begin construction on the company’s smaller facility in Laval.
The Laval facility is expected to have the capacity of producing 1,000 kgs. of cannabis annually and is scheduled for completion by the end of Q4 2017.
MYM is also diversified across much of the cannabis sector, from growth, to formulation and production, to branding and distribution.
Its operations are cover wide ranging assets, from CannaCanada in Weedon, to its Licensed Producer subsidiary Sublime in Montreal, along with products and branded entities Joshua Tree, MyHemp Skin Therapy, and HempMed.
At this point it has the assets advance rapidly up the ranks of the Cannabis heavy weights. Unlike those companies with market caps from $800 million to $1.5 billion, MYM Nutraceuticals remains undervalued at just a $27 million market cap.
Although one of the newcomers, MYM has already made an impression by more than doubling its value since it began trading in March of 2017.

Advanced Research & Development in Unique Cannabis Therapies to Battle Opioid Addiction for Safe Alternative Pain Relief
8:30 am ET November 28, 2017 (PR Newswire) Print



Studies are displaying evidence that new strains of cannabis can aid the battle against opioid addiction and in turn, create yet another new revenue opportunity in the burgeoning and vast cannabis landscape. As America fights an alarmingly disturbing opioid epidemic, the results of these studies could push legislators to continue paving the way for legal use of medical strains of cannabis throughout the country. Researchers studied patients using prescription opioids to treat chronic pain who enrolled in a recent program between 2010 and 2015 discovered patients using cannabis based therapies reported pain reduction, quality of life, social life, activity levels, and concentration, and few side effects from using cannabis one year after enrollment in the New Mexico study program. Active in the legal cannabis markets today include: Veritas Pharma Inc. (CSE: VRT) (OTC: VRTHF), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (OTC: TWMJF), Aphria Inc. (TSX: APH) (OTC: APHQF), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (OTC: ACBFF), Isodiol International Inc. (CSE: ISOL) (OTC: ISOLF)
Veritas Pharma Inc. (CSE: VRT) (OTC: VRTHF) announces its research arm, Cannevert Therapeutics Ltd. ("CTL") filed a provisional patent application to US Patent and Trademark Office (the "USPTO") on September 13, 2017 for use of a specific cannabis strain to enhance the actions of opioid analgesics. An acknowledgement letter from the USPTO was received recently which provided a filing number of US 62/558,021 for this application. Read this and more news for Veritas Pharma at: http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/vrt.html
Opioids are substances that are derived from the opium poppy plant. They bind to the human body's own opioid receptors to provide pain relief or 'analgesia' for patients with acute or chronic pain when prescribed legally; morphine is an example opioid analgesic. Use of these drugs for a brief time is considered safe for pain management. However, when they are overprescribed and/or frequently misused, they produce a sense of euphoria along with relieving pain. Hence, drug dependence can occur despite using them as prescribed over prolonged periods with the potential of fatal overdose. Opioid overdose contributed to more than 33,000 deaths in 2015 according to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Heroin and fentanyl are the most widely known opioids for their illegal, recreational use, abuse potential and fatal overdoses. Cannabis contains substances called cannabinoids that appear to bind to human body's own cannabinoid receptors to also produce similar effects to those of the body's opioids in mediating analgesia and behavioral effects. However, they do not have the same drug dependence or overdose potential. When cannabinoids and opioids are combined, they appear to augment each other's effects synergistically. Therefore, the combination may allow for opioids to be used at lower doses with fewer side effects for the treatment of pain and related addiction. According Coherent Market Insights*, the global opioids market was approximately USD $17b in 2015 and is forecasted to moderately increase to near USD $26 bn in 2024. It indicates that legal cannabis is expected to impact the opioids market growth as it gets adopted as a safe alternative pain relieving therapy to opioids and it is increasingly being used to address related addiction. According to the World Drug Report 2016, approximately 17 million people suffered from opioid drug abuse.
Veritas CEO, Dr. Lui Franciosi stated, "We are pleased with Cannevert's latest submission to protect its discovery of a cannabis strain that could potentially reduce the dose and side effects of clinically used opioids while maintaining a good pain relieving effect for patients." Dr. Franciosi goes on to say, "This strain could be also potentially useful in addressing the current fentanyl crisis throughout North America. If we're targeting pain or opioid addiction, we want to deliver a scientifically tested, standardized product that clinicians can rely upon."Also, to note, the Company will be issuing 1.1 million stock options based on today's closing price of CAN$0.81 cents.
In other industry developments and market performances of note:
Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (OTC: TWMJF) is continuing to develop its hemp operations. It has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets and intellectual property from Green Hemp Industries Ltd. and its principal, Jason Green. Mr. Green is a veteran hemp farm operator based in Saskatchewan. The transaction marks a major milestone in Canopy Growth's hemp business and is expected to enhance Canopy Growth's vertically integrated field-scale hemp production capabilities. In addition to acquiring Green's farm operations and associated assets, equipment, genetic stock, and other property, Canopy Growth will operate approximately 300 acres of existing hemp production after completion of the transaction, which it anticipates will be scalable to 2,200 acres for the 2018 growing season.
Aphria Inc. (TSX: APH.TO) (OTCQB: APHQF) has achieved another milestone as part of its expansion strategy, obtaining its dealer's license pursuant to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act under Health Canada. This permits the company to possess, sell and transport medical cannabis oil and resin to international markets. "There is an incredible appetite for high-quality medical cannabis in legal markets around the world. Obtaining our dealer's license is a significant milestone in our international expansion strategy as it enables Aphria to have greater control over importing and exporting medical cannabis oil globally," said Vic Neufeld, Chief Executive Officer of Aphria. "This license will accelerate our speed to international markets and broaden our patient base internationally, resulting in greater revenue for Aphria."
Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (OTCQX: ACBFF) wholly owned subsidiary BC Northern Lights (BCNL) and Namaste Technologies Inc. have signed a hardware supply agreement whereby Namaste will be the first third party distributor to sell BCNL's premium home cultivation systems and accessories through its on-line technology platform. Namaste will roll out same-day delivery service of select BCNL products to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), as well as next-day delivery in most other parts of Canada, to help meet the growth in demand for home gardening systems anticipated with the passing of the federal Cannabis Act to legalize adult consumer use, as well as continued rapid growth of the medical cannabis market.
Isodiol International Inc. (CSE: ISOL.CN) (OTCQB: ISOLF) recently announced it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of C3 Global Biosciences (C3GBS), a cause driven organization committed to developing sustainable health solutions through the advancement of cannabis science. "Isodiol and C3GBS are truly complementary. We look forward to bringing the C3GBS brand and world class team onboard to pursue the shared vision of providing consumers with the highest quality of bioactive CBD products," said Marcos Agramont, CEO of Isodiol. "By combining the two companies, we can align our efforts strategically to further strengthen our portfolio of assets. This partnership will be aimed at increasing market expertise as we establish both companies as leaders in the CBD market."
