$NUGS Investors Flock to Cannabis Market as Business Booms

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: As the cannabis industry sees its profits and legitimacy rise, the market potential is drawing increased attention from big investors.

• The U.S. and global cannabis sector is seeing great growth, lifted by the success of medical and recreational cannabis and legalization in Canada.
• This is drawing in previously reluctant investors as companies become listed on stock exchanges.
• Greater integration within the sector is both a symptom of and a support for this cannabis boom.

Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTC: NUGS) (NUGS Profile) shows this integrated approach, bringing together cultivation, product sales and personnel services for the cannabis industry. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is working across borders on international research to create better cannabis-based medicines. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has benefited hugely from the surge in investor attention, receiving billions in investment from the beverage sector. CBD products are allowing parts of the cannabis sector to achieve widespread acceptance, thanks to the work of companies like Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: CWBHF) (CSE: CWEB). All of this means a rise in sales for suppliers of hydroponic equipment such as GrowGeneration Corp. (OTCQX: GRWG).

Cannabis’s Money Problems

The legal cannabis industry is one of the newest in the world and one weighed down with a great deal of baggage. Decades in the legal wilderness have tainted the public image of the drug, leaving many potential customers and investors with a negative knee-jerk reaction to the sector and its products. Even now, as legal cannabis becomes more common on a state-by-state basis, the U.S. industry is held back by lingering federal laws enacted as a result of the war on drugs.

This has created challenges for cannabis companies in search of finance. Both the legal restrictions in the United States and historical prejudice against the industry have made it hard to find mainstream investors. But with the market expanding and profits rising significantly year on year, that looks set to change.

The Signs of Change

In the United States, the cannabis industry is taking off in a big way. California is the largest of the nine state-sized markets for recreational cannabis, so it makes sense that the state has become home to many of the companies working in the sector, such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTC: NUGS). But the seeds for the rise of these companies lie elsewhere.

The first signs of the huge potential for a legal cannabis market came in 1996, when California passed Proposition 215, the first law making medical cannabis legal in a U.S. state. The medical market quickly took off, with legal companies moving into a business previously owned entirely by criminals, while other states considered such legislation of their own. Just over 20 years later, 31 states have legal medical cannabis markets, and a whole host of companies have sprung up to cater to them. Knowledge of cannabis’s benefits has also grown swiftly, thanks to these companies’ research efforts.

But the biggest bellwether for growth in the recreational market has come from north of the border. This October, Canada became the first G8 country to legalize recreational cannabis on a national level. The result is a tightly regulated and quickly growing industry that is setting an example for the rest of the world.

That example holds out great promise for the likes of companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures. Cannabis Strategic Ventures has taken a portfolio approach to the cannabis sector, developing a range of brands covering areas such as cannabis oil, concentrate extraction services, staffing for the cannabis sector, and most recently cannabis cultivation itself.

The industry is growing quickly, with analysts predicting that it will reach $65 billion by 2023. That’s creating plenty of space for companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures to grow. It’s also drawing the attention of investors.

The Rise of Cannabis Investment

The cannabis industry didn’t initially attract a lot of funding from investors. The potential of cannabis as a legal market was unclear, and it came with risks thanks to the drug’s illegality at a federal level. Investors couldn’t yet see much potential for profit, and they were wary of throwing their financial lot in with such a dubious group.

Now, however, the market has had time to mature. The sector isn’t just a handful of cultivators and retailers trying to work on an untested business model. There are specialist cannabis tech firms, research outfits and umbrella companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures. It’s looking more and more like a conventional market sector — though a market sector subject to staggering growth.

The result is a growing surge of investment. Since January this year, U.S. cannabis companies have raised more than $8.2 billion of investment, while their Canadian cousins raised $2.2 billion in October alone.

Getting listed on a stock exchange is invaluable to a getting a company’s stocks in front of powerful investors and thus raising additional funds. Larger cannabis companies are looking at moving from the Toronto exchange to the New York Stock Exchange, the largest stock market in the world, while others such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures are preparing for their first listings.

Investors are more prepared now to take a chance on the cannabis market. Stock exchange presence will allow cannabis companies to tap into that potential and so to take a stronger place in a fast-growing market.

A Fractured Industry

The American cannabis industry is a fractured one. Without the well-established business relationships and support structures of longer-standing sectors, many of the pieces are small and disjointed. Progress has been driven primarily by small startups.

The same moment of maturity that has brought the recent wave of investment has also brought the seeds of change for the industry’s structure. Some companies are using mergers and takeovers to build bigger businesses focused on particular parts of the sector, benefiting from the efficiencies these acquisitions bring. Others are diversifying to create companies with greater reach across the sector and even potential to take it to new places. Cannabis Strategic Ventures, for example, is expanding its product lines to include beauty products even as it adds cultivation to its portfolio for greater vertical integration.

Within the industry, one of the big fractures in the United States is that between the different states. With cannabis still illegal under federal laws, businesses have to operate within the borders of individual states with their own local regulations. Though some companies have operations in several states, it’s not yet possible to create a properly integrated national operation, at least in part because of states where the drug remains entirely illegal. But with the White House hinting at potential reform, this is something that could change over the next few years. While politicians respond slowly to public and investor demand for a more efficient and integrated cannabis sector, it’s the companies that are leading the way.

An Industry Coming Together

Despite the limitations they face, cannabis companies are finding ways to come together and cooperate, both within the United States and across international borders.

Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), a leading medical cannabis company, is supporting research work beyond the borders of the United States. As a supplier of materials for clinical trials in Canada and Australia, Tilray working with other research-oriented companies to increase understanding of the effects of cannabis and develop better treatments based upon it. These could be invaluable in treating such problems as chemotherapy-induced nausea and childhood epilepsy. And while the work has an invaluable humanitarian element, it’s also appealing to investors who recognize the profits present in the pharmaceutical industry.

Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) is one of the great investment success stories. One of Canada’s largest cannabis companies, it has attracted several billion dollars of investment from Constellation Brands, an American drinks manufacturer. This represents an interesting twist on integration within the cannabis industry, with an alcohol company looking to get involved in other recreational chemicals. Tobacco companies have been taking a similar interest in cannabis, and the industry may one day bleed over into one or both of these related sectors.

Already connected into the cannabis industry is industrial hemp, a form of cannabis that doesn’t get users high. Recent years have seen a surge in sales of cannabidiol (CBD) products, which use a compound extracted from industrial hemp. Companies such as Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: CWBHF) (CSE: CWEB) have had huge success is developing and marketing CBD-based health and wellness products. These products are gaining mainstream acceptance, with Charlotte’s Web getting its products into three thousand outlets.

The success of cannabis growers and retailers has been a boon for companies providing the products and services they need. GrowGeneration Corp. (OTCQX: GRWG), which supplies hydroponic systems and nutrients used in growing cannabis, has seen a massive rise in sales off the back of legalization initiatives. The company’s sales went up by 80 percent in 2017, and it has acquired several smaller companies to help it make the most of this surging demand.

Greater investment helps companies to achieve these successes, which in turn draw in greater investment. As more cannabis companies hit the big stock exchanges, the industry looks set to see its growth continue.

$YGYI CEO to Speak at the Cannabidiol Symposium

• Youngevity CEO invited as a featured speaker to the Cannabidiol Symposium slated for November 6, 2018
• Direct selling companies dealing with cannabidiol-related products projected to rake in up to $300 million in revenue
• Youngevity adds phytocannabinoid-rich, full-spectrum HempFX into its line of products

Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) is one of the leading direct selling companies for lifestyle products. The company has one of the most unique direct selling business models, combining the power of social selling and e-commerce. Among the categories in which its products are listed are home and family, health and nutrition, spa and beauty, food and beverage, essential oils, fashion, photo and innovative services.

On October 24, 2018, the company made an official announcement that it is participating in the Cannabidiol Symposium to be hosted by Direct Selling News and Success Partners. Among the featured speakers at the event scheduled for November 6, 2018, in Dallas, Texas, is the company’s CEO, Steve Wallach (http://nnw.fm/7rgQq).

The opportunities in the direct selling market are enormous. In the case of cannabidiol-related products, projections suggest 2018 sales of over $300 million for companies in this niche. This effectively makes direct selling the largest and most preferred distribution channel for products in this sector.

Youngevity has made a strategic footprint by bringing together a variety of products and services under the same fold through a combined power of social selling and e-commerce. Official sources from the company express a strong belief that it is well positioned to leverage the cannabidiol direct selling boom to strengthen its foothold.

The CEO is optimistic that the event presents a unique opportunity where players in the industry will share information on the best practices in direct selling business models. Cannabidiol is one of the transformative products that is gaining traction in many jurisdictions around the world. Direct selling is the platform that will take this product to the consumers.

Youngevity has transitioned successfully to an international marketer of health and lifestyle products and services. According to the CEO, the invitation to speak at the symposium represents a recognition of the role and influence of the company in the direct selling channel and cannabidiol space.

HempFX is the latest product launched by Youngevity. It is a hemp-derived cannabidiol oil, rich in phytocannabinoid, that nurtures the body and complements health regimes. It is available in three proprietary formulas – Uplift, Relax and Soothe – all of which are double tested and contain no tetrahydrocannabinol.

The HempFX product line contains two tablet-based products designed to be used alongside Youngevity’s Y-DR8+ portable water system. This provides users with palatable water while reducing chemical traces found in piped water. The Y-DR8+ has an activated carbon cloth filter that is portable and convenient for today’s on-the-go lifestyle.

Youngevity was formed in 2011 following a merger between Javalution Coffee Company and Youngevity Essential Life Sciences. The company recorded annual revenues of $166 million in 2017, derived from both direct selling and its coffee industry business segment.

$TGODF Global Cannabis Revenue Growth Continues to Jump as Expectations Hit New Highs

Palm Beach, FL – (November 5, 2018) – The ever expanding global cannabis industry continues to surpass all expectations relating to growth as leading cannabis companies in the industry expand into new markets behind increased consumer enthusiasm, as well as reduced barriers to entry behind advanced legalization efforts. The industry has seen headlines of food and beverage giants dumping billions into the space in order to get their share of the pie, as well as steady growth despite global volatility in other markets. A report by Grand View Market Research projects the legal cannabis market will be valued north of $140 Billion within the next seven years. As this industry continues to be highly active, it is also seeing increasing turnover rates, as well as a separation from the pack of the elite producers in the industry.   Active Companies from around the market with current developments include: Body and Mind Inc. (CSE:BAMM) (OTC: BMMJ), HEXO Corp. (TSX:HEXO) (OTC:HYYDF), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB) (TSX:ACB), Aphria Inc. (NYSE:APHA) (TSX:APHA), The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd.  (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF).

Body and Mind Inc. (CSE:BAMM.CN) (OTCPK:BMMJ) BREAKING NEWS:  Body and Mind announced today that it has closed the previously announced sale of securities pursuant to an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Australis Capital Inc. (CSE: AUSA) (“Australis”).

Director Appointment – The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Scott Dowty as a director of the Company. Mr. Dowty will replace Chris Macleod on the board of directors. Mr. Dowty is the CEO and Director of Australis Capital Inc. and brings 25 years of experience evaluating companies and markets to identify key business drivers, spur rapid revenue and profit growth in competitive and highly regulated global markets. Mr. Dowty has held executive and corporate officer positions with NYSE and NASDAQ listed companies, founded several successful start-up companies in North America and has held Board positions within market leaders in the Cannabis industry. Mr. Dowty’s extensive operational experience in the International fintech and gambling sectors is closely aligned to the regulatory path of the U.S. cannabis industry.

“I am eager to add immediate value to the BAMM franchise both as Director and as CEO of Australis Capital, a large strategic investor in BaM” states Scott Dowty. “Just as Aurora Cannabis built their global platform and spun-out Australis Capital, we will leverage strategic relationships while exercising a disciplined and aggressive approach in expanding BaM’s reach and creating value for BaM shareholders”.

Robert Hasman, Director of BaM commented “This strategic partnership with Australis’ will provide BaM with tremendous opportunities as a result of an immense deal flow.  The domain knowledge of the Australis network is industry leading and will be invaluable as we focus our attention on strengthening our two key franchises in Nevada and Ohio.  We would like to welcome the CEO of Australis, Mr. Scott Dowty, to our board of directors and would like to thank Chris Macleod for his contributions to the board of directors and wishes him well in his future endeavours.”

Subject to applicable laws and the rules of the CSE, for as long as Australis owns at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, Australis will be entitled to nominate one director for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). If Australis exercises all of the Warrants and converts all of the Debentures purchased in the Financing, Australis will be entitled to nominate a second director for election to the Board.     Read this and more news for BAMM at:  http://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-bamm

HEXO Corp. (TSX:HEXO) (OTCPK:HYYDF) has announced the closing of the acquisition of its interest in a large facility in Belleville, Ontario. This is the first facility that the Company has established outside of Quebec, further delivering on its national expansion strategy and allowing HEXO to create a centre of excellence for the development of advanced cannabis products.  “Closing the transaction and acquiring our interest in this facility is integral to carrying out our hub and spoke business strategy,” said Sebastien St-Louis, HEXO’s CEO and co-founder. “The space can be scaled up based on our future needs and provides HEXO with the infrastructure it needs to continue partnering with Fortune 500 companies and to create category-winning cosmetics, edibles, vapes and more.”

The idea that weed doesn’t correlate to other stocks seems to have some truth. This was shown by the events of early to mid-October, when legal reform and individual brand announcements set it on an opposite trend from other shares. While the Dow has headed towards its worst month since May 2010, cannabis stocks have carved their own path. It looked like good news for companies such as Youngevity.

As a lifestyle brand selling both coffee and cannabis derivatives, Youngevity has already placed itself to enter this cross-over market. And with its new HempFX™ line now available online, it’s moving fast to profit from changes in the cannabis market.

About Youngevity International, Inc.

About QuadSight^™

Foresight first launched a demo of its QuadSight^™ system last January at the CES show in Las Vegas. Foresight regards QuadSight^™ as the industry’s most accurate quad-camera vision system, offering exceptional obstacle detection for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle safety. Using proven, highly advanced image-processing algorithms, QuadSight^™ uses four-camera technology that combines two pairs of stereoscopic infrared and daylight cameras. QuadSight^™ is designed to achieve near-100% obstacle detection with near zero false alerts under any weather or lighting conditions – including complete darkness, rain, haze, fog and glare.

Stereoscopic vision technology’s exceptional three-dimensional (3D) images, detection and accuracy are essential for safe and reliable semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle vision systems. Stereoscopic cameras exceed a human driver’s ability to see objects in real time, whether large or small, in-motion or static, and from short or long-range distances. The dynamic driving environment demands a level of accuracy that only stereoscopic cameras can provide.
