$NETE 420 with CNW – Health Canada Changes Tactics in a Bid to End Cannabis Shortages

Tired of the endless cannabis shortages which have threatened to hand the legal cannabis industry back to the black market, Health Canada has come up with a new way to increase how soon a newly licensed cultivator can start growing cannabis.

The solution that Health Canada wants to start implementing entails giving production licenses to entities which already have a cultivation facility ready.

This means that companies which want to grow cannabis will have to first construct the greenhouses they intend to use so that the facilities can be ready for inspection by Health Canada. Facilities which pass the inspection can then be licensed to start operation immediately.

This new approach is likely to favor the bigger players at the expense of smaller entities which want to enter the cannabis cultivation space.

For example, Aphria has been waiting for its new Ontario-based cultivation site to be approved by Health Canada for more than a year. If this new rule had been in place from the very start, Aphria would have started cultivation long ago, thereby getting a head-start in the market while other entities without ready grow facilities play catch up.

The key question is, will this change in the regulatory approval process bring the cannabis shortage to an end?

The realistic answer is that the move will have a very small difference in fixing the problems causing marijuana shortages in Canada. For example, one of the reasons for the persistent shortages is that it has been difficult for harvested marijuana to be processed and packaged due to a shortage of packaging materials which meet the strict requirements set by Health Canada.

Many cultivators have cannabis which cannot be released onto the market because it hasn’t been packaged in a way that complies with the Cannabis Act. Speeding up how soon a licensed firm starts growing cannabis will not fix this packaging nightmare.

Another reason why switching to licensing cultivators who already have grow facilities may not solve the supply shortages is the red-tape at Health Canada. Many entities have been waiting for over a year to have their license application considered even without the requirement to have ready cultivation facilities. It is hard to imagine how the processing of applications will miraculously speed up just because Health Canada now says they will give priority to applicants with cultivation facilities already set up.

Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) and Net Element Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) look forward to the time when Health Canada fixes all its internal issues which have played a part in perpetuating the cannabis shortages in the country.

$RIV $RIV.V Cannabis Companies Racing to Gain Exposure to CBD Beverage Market

Palm Beach, FL – May 14, 2019 – Over the last year, Canada approved cannabis.  More U.S. states are legalizing its recreational or medicinal use.  Corporate America is using CBD and hemp oil in everything from lotions and pain balm to beverages.  President Trump signed the 2018 Farm Bill into law.  Even better, according to Arcview Market Researcher and BDS Analytics, global spending on cannabis is expected to rocket 38% this year to $16.9 billion up from $12.2 billion in 2018.

Along the way, cannabis has also transformed pharmaceuticals, tobacco products, health, and wellness products.  Even the beverage market has seen a substantial impact.  For example, Constellation Brands partnered with Canopy Growth Corporation.  Molson Coors teamed with HEXO Corporation.  Even New Age Beverages is producing and distributing a new line of Marley+ CBD drinks, including Mellow Mood, a relaxation tea with CBD.  Some of the top companies in the industry include The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF), The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF), Green Thumb Industries (CSE:GTII)(OTC:GTBIF), Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX-V:RIV)(OTC:CNPOF), and Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (CSE:LHS)(OTC:LHSIF).

The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS)(OTCQB:BOSQF) BREAKING NEWS: The Yield Growth Corp. just engaged Cornerstone Strategic Branding (CSB) to complete a visual positioning study and subsequent creation of brand and packaging design for its new hemp and cannabis beverage lines.  As Yield Growth and CSB work on these brand designs, the ownership company will be canvassing the market to secure a partner from the U.S.A. beverage industry and one multi-state operator to launch these beverages to bars and restaurants, and retail stores.

“The creation of powerful packaging and in-store communications programs is crucial for Yield Growth to successfully enter the competitive drinks market with its hemp and cannabis products,” says Penny Green, President & CEO of Yield Growth. “With CSB as an agency partner, we are confident their research, strategy and design expertise will combine with our exciting beverage options to quickly impress consumers in this market niche and generate sales throughout North America and internationally in time.  We were impressed by the effectiveness CSB has shown for its beverage sector clients such as Poland Spring 100% Natural Spring Water, Coffee Mate, Nescafe Taster’s Choice Coffee and Seagram’s Escapes under the direction of Christopher Nunes, CEO.”

Other cannabis-related developments from around the markets include:

The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX:TGOD) (OTCQX:TGODF) is developing a distribution hub for beverage and edible products for Canada and abroad.  “We believe that the beverage and edible market will be the largest single segment of the cannabis market. Cannabis, as the base ingredient, makes these products possible. The medicinal and recreational market for CBD and THC will only increase over time and starting with an organic input is the most important aspect to developing these higher margin products,” notes TGOD President Csaba Reider.

Green Thumb Industries (CSE:GTII.CN)(OTCQX:GTBIF) just announced that Rise Amherst will begin selling cannabis to adults aged 21 and over.  The store will continue to offer exceptional care to medical cannabis patients with a separate consultation space, retail floor, checkout area and exit for people with a valid Commonwealth of Massachusetts medical card. “GTI’s mission is to empower the right to wellness by progressing the responsible adult use of cannabis through innovative branded products and people-first retail experiences while remaining committed to the community,” said GTI Founder and CEO Ben Kovler.

Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX-V:RIV.V)(OTCPK:CNPOF) just announced that its portfolio company PharmHouse Inc. entered into a second offtake agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation for the purchase of cannabis from its 1.3 million square foot greenhouse facility upon licensing. The Agreement commits an additional 20% of PharmHouse’s flowering space to Canopy Growth for the next three years, in addition to the 10% that was originally committed in May 2018. The Agreement provides for the delivery to Canopy Growth of a minimum of 25,000 kg of cannabis per year and a maximum of 45,000 kg of cannabis per year.

“PharmHouse continues to show tremendous progress at the facility, and the joint venture is quickly developing as a key pillar for value creation and synergy within the Canopy Rivers portfolio ecosystem,” said Olivier Dufourmantelle, Chief Operating Officer of Canopy Rivers. “Thanks to the collaborative contributions of our joint venture partners, the ongoing support and guidance of Canopy Rivers, and the strategic insight of Canopy Growth throughout the licensing process, we are excited to announce an incremental supply partnership that mutually benefits all three parties.”

Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (CSE:LHS.CN)(OTCQX:LHSIF) just announced that it will open its 14th Florida dispensary in Cape Coral’s South Cape business district, subject to Florida Department of Health approval. This is the first medical facility to open in Cape Coraland Liberty’s second dispensary to open in Lee County.  The 3,380 square-foot facility includes innovative shopping displays that engage and educate patients, two private consultation rooms and a large waiting room where patients, physicians and community members can learn about the benefits of medical cannabis. The dispensary is also equipped to offer drive-through services for its patients.

“We anticipate strong patient demand in the Cape Coral area, which is supported by a large population of potential patients living in Southwest Florida who can take advantage of our exceptional customer service and educational resources,” said Victor E. Mancebo, interim CEO of Liberty. “There are many retirees living in our service area who can benefit from our products and Cape Coral is also one of the fastest growing cities in Florida. Already patients and the city of Cape Coral are embracing our presence and we are excited to provide the community with our premium medical marijuana products.”

$LXRP 420 with CNW – China Reaps from Cannabis Industry Boom

Look around your home and nearly half (or even more) of the products you see may have been made in China. Now China has jumped into the fray and it is bringing loads of CBD to the market in cosmetics, ingestible oil and other products.

This boom is largely centered in just two of China’s 34 provinces. These provinces are cultivating the plants even if Chinese law is very strict on psychotropic drugs, with death sentences routinely handed out to drug traffickers.

Hanma Investment Group is one of the first companies that secured a license to grow cannabis in Southern China in 2017. The CBD extracted is marketed outside China in balms, oils and sprays.

Hanma Investment Group has a subsidiary that is cultivating industrial hemp on more than 1,600 acres in Yunnan Province.

For thousands of years, hemp and marijuana were widely grown across China for making ropes, fabrics, paper and for medicinal purposes until the People’s Republic of China was founded and clamped down on the plant in 1949.

Hemp was also outlawed in 1985 when China signed the UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances despite hemp having just trace amounts of THC.

It is only recently (2010) that China softened its stance and allowed Yunnan province to resume growing hemp for textiles, especially for making uniforms for the People’s Liberation Army.

The exploding interest in CBD around the world has made Yunna Province to add oil extraction to the growing list of products for which hemp is grown. This booming industry has breathed new life into the economy of Yunna since farmers can earn much more from growing hemp ($300 from an acre) when compared to growing other crops, such as rapeseed or flax.

Yunnan Province now has four companies that have, in total, opened more than 36,000 acres of land for hemp cultivation.

The other province which is reaping from hemp is Heilongjiang Province. Other provinces are catching on and plans are underway to license companies to start growing hemp in more regions of China.

The announcements that different companies have started growing hemp have caused such a stir on the stock exchanges that regulators were forced to intervene and stop trading in the shares of those companies.

Chinese companies are also aggressively staking their claim on the U.S. hemp landscape. For example, Hanma Investment Group has acquired a CBD extraction plant in Las Vegas, Nevada, and it has also set its eyes on Canada as well.

The 2018 Farm Act removed hemp from the list of controlled substances and it is now an agricultural commodity like any other within the U.S. The onus is now on U.S. companies to take full advantage of this legal reform so that China doesn’t muscle out local players in the CBD industry. Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) and Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) hope that U.S. companies are up to the challenge so that foreign firms don’t dominate the local CBD market.

To read the full editorial, visit:  http://cnw.fm/l07RO

Last year was a year of maturation for the cannabis market. The market growth resulted from retailers in nine legal adult-use states being pushed beyond the sector’s historically core demographics, targeting fast-growing new segments such as women, with an emphasis on elements such as wellness and clearly labeled/low-dose alternatives. That trend was reinforced with CBD breaking out into the mainstream, as industrial hemp became legal throughout the United States, and cannabis companies looked for ways to stand out from the crowd.

Founded in 2017 with the goal of genuine seed-to-sale capability and rapidly acquiring a bevy of premium cannabis brands, Vancouver-based TransCanna Holdings Inc.  (CSE:TCAN) (XETR:TH8) is pursuing a true “self-contained ecosystem” approach to the sector via its California-based, wholly owned subsidiaries.

$GNPX Featured by NetworkNewsAudio Covering New Gene Therapies

NEW YORK, May 09, 2019  — via NetworkNewsAudio – Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ:GNPX) announces the availability of a NetworkNewsAudio publication titled, “New Gene Therapies Hold Out Promise for Patients.”

To hear the NetworkNewsWire Audio version, visit: http://nnw.fm/D55vd

To read the full editorial, visit: http://nnw.fm/nhjN4

Gene therapies, the promising treatments pursued by companies such as Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ:GNPX), are based on turning [the] problem [of cell mutation] on its head. These therapies take genetic code, tiny snippets of biological information that tell the human body how to build itself and insert them into cells. Once in place, successful gene therapies replace damaged or missing code and help the body cure itself.

Creating these treatments is challenging work, and the companies that excel are innovators with the ability to try new approaches. Their work has won acclaim and awards, such as Genprex’s place as a finalist in the technology innovation category of the Fierce Innovation Awards.

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex Inc. is a clinical stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for cancer patients, based upon a unique proprietary technology platform, including Genprex’s initial product candidate, Oncoprex™ immunogene therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Genprex’s platform technologies are designed to administer cancer fighting genes by encapsulating them into nanoscale hollow spheres called nanovesicles, which are then administered intravenously and taken up by tumor cells where they express proteins that are missing or found in low quantities. Oncoprex has a multimodal mechanism of action whereby it interrupts cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells, re-establishes pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells, and modulates the immune response against cancer cells. Oncoprex has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance.

$RIV $RIV.V $CNPOF Significant Supply Agreement w/ PharmHouse

The 3-year contract commits 20% of PharmHouse’s cannabis production to Canopy Growth

TORONTO, May 9, 2019 – Canopy Rivers Inc. (“Canopy Rivers” or the “Company“) (TSXV: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) is pleased to announce that its portfolio company PharmHouse Inc. (“PharmHouse“) has entered into a second offtake agreement (the “Agreement“) with Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy Growth“) (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) for the purchase of cannabis from its 1.3 million square foot greenhouse facility upon licensing. The Agreement commits an additional 20% of PharmHouse’s flowering space to Canopy Growth for the next three years, in addition to the 10% that was originally committed in May 2018. The Agreement provides for the delivery to Canopy Growth of a minimum of 25,000 kg of cannabis per year and a maximum of 45,000 kg of cannabis per year.

“PharmHouse continues to show tremendous progress at the facility, and the joint venture is quickly developing as a key pillar for value creation and synergy within the Canopy Rivers portfolio ecosystem,” said Olivier Dufourmantelle, Chief Operating Officer of Canopy Rivers. “Thanks to the collaborative contributions of our joint venture partners, the ongoing support and guidance of Canopy Rivers, and the strategic insight of Canopy Growth throughout the licensing process, we are excited to announce an incremental supply partnership that mutually benefits all three parties.”

This new supply arrangement provides PharmHouse with additional revenue visibility and financial de-risking for a significant portion of the expected production from the flagship facility. Canopy Rivers holds a 49% equity interest in the PharmHouse joint venture and has played an active role in sourcing and negotiating production and supply agreements, which now cover approximately 50% of expected annual output. The incremental 50% of output remains unencumbered for the development of PharmHouse’s own suite of brands and products.

“This offtake agreement represents a significant step forward for PharmHouse. By effectively committing and selling 50% of our near-term cannabis production, we favorably position PharmHouse for the development of a proprietary suite of products and brands and/or the pursuit of incremental contract manufacturing agreements,” said Tony Abbas, General Manager of PharmHouse. “The fact that we are executing yet another agreement with an industry titan like Canopy Growth sends a strong signal about the quality of our operations and the confidence in our team’s ability to deliver.”

The 1.3 million square foot facility in Leamington represents the first stage of a planned global strategic relationship between Canopy Rivers and its PharmHouse joint venture partner, a company formed by the leading principals and operators of a North American agriculture conglomerate. The parties seek to leverage their relationship networks and respective strengths in cannabis, global commercial agriculture, marketing, and distribution to pursue regulated cannabis opportunities together on a global scale.

About PharmHouse:

Formed by Canopy Rivers and a company formed by the leading principals and operators of a North American agriculture conglomerate, the PharmHouse joint venture operates out of an ultramodern 1.3 million greenhouse facility in Leamington, Ontario, constructed in 2017 using the latest in commercial agriculture technology and featuring state-of-the-art automation systems. Canopy Rivers, along with its PharmHouse joint venture partners, are actively upgrading and supplementing the facility in preparation for licensing. In January 2019, PharmHouse entered into a syndicated credit facility providing up to C$80 million of secured debt financing. PharmHouse has secured multiple offtake agreements for an aggregate 50% of the production capacity upon licensing.

About Canopy Rivers:

Canopy Rivers is a unique investment and operating platform structured to pursue investment opportunities in the emerging global cannabis sector. Canopy Rivers works collaboratively with Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED, NYSE: CGC) to identify strategic counterparties seeking financial and/or operating support. Canopy Rivers has developed an investment ecosystem of complementary cannabis operating companies that represent various segments of the value chain across the emerging cannabis sector. As the portfolio continues to develop, constituents will be provided with opportunities to work with Canopy Growth and collaborate among themselves, which Canopy Rivers believes will maximize value for its shareholders and foster an environment of innovation, synergy and value creation for the entire ecosystem.

$TCAN CBD-Infused Non-Alcoholic Beer LOI with Persuasion Brewing

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 09, 2019 — via NetworkWire – Transcanna Holdings Inc. (CSE:TCAN: XETR: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the execution of a non-binding letter of intent with Persuasion Brewing Co. (“Persuasion” or “PBC”), a private brewing company located in Modesto, California.  Both companies have agreed to create a division within TransCanna’s recently purchased 196,000-square-foot vertically integrated facility (the “Facility”) to establish a Persuasion Brewing division, which will produce a variety of different CBD infusion non-alcoholic beers.  Terms of the LOI include TransCanna’s exclusive rights to the private labeled beers created at the Facility; a three-year commitment from Persuasion with a 180-day termination provision; compensation due to PBC for services rendered, which is to be determined based on a percentage of sales to dispensaries; and TransCanna to pay for the necessary equipment, including the canning and bottling lines.  Both parties agree to adhere to all local and state laws.  Completion of the transactions contemplated by the LOI remain subject to negotiation of final terms and completion of definitive documentation.

“Our 196,000-square-foot vertically integrated, cannabis-focused facility is perfectly designed to have a comprehensive bottling and canning line for multiple types of beverages. However, we firmly believe that our first beverage product subject to receipt of the appropriate licenses should be a private labeled non-alcoholic CBD-infused beer.  We believe it’s the least expensive method to generate the greatest margins as quickly as possible, and that will continue to differentiate us from others in the marketplace,” stated Jim Pakulis, CEO of TransCanna.

“The few companies in California that are currently in the non-alcoholic CBD-infused sector, based on my personal research, have done extremely well financially,” stated Chad Swan, president of Persuasion Brewing Co. “TransCanna is supplying the facility, capital, software, distribution and marketing platform, and we’ll supply the intellectual property and knowhow to create a superb CBD-infused non-alcoholic beer.  We currently have 16 various styles of beer on tap or in kegs, so to expand into this market is a natural fit.  And the fact that the brewery is only a five-minute drive to TransCanna’s facility makes the logistics of moving equipment and staffing streamlined.”

The owner of Persuasion, Chad Swan, was a principal of the company that owned the Facility recently purchased by TransCanna.  As previously reported, Mr. Swan’s company that owned the facility received 1.2 million warrants at US$2.60 and 500,000 restricted shares of TransCanna.

$TGODF $TGOD Enters US Market Through Cornerstone Investment in Califormulations

TORONTO, May 8, 2019 – The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or “TGOD”) (TSX:TGOD) (US:TGODF) is pleased to announce the Company’s strategic investment into the US beverage space as a co-founding investor and strategic partner in the newly formed Califormulations LLC (“Califormulations”). Califormulations will operate out of Columbus, Georgia serving global branded companies with concept-to-shelf beverage commercialization support including formulation development, technical services, in-house pilot scale production and contract manufacturing co-ordination. TGOD will work with Califormulations to expedite the US launch of TGOD branded organic hemp-based CBD beverages, as local laws and regulations permit.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Califormulations to further our development of hemp-based CBD beverage products,” said Brian Athaide, CEO of TGOD. “With the US market for functional beverages, including wellness, energy and sport recovery, currently worth over USD$20 billion, we want to remain on the cutting edge of innovation and establish the foundation for future proprietary and novel TGOD-branded products. TGOD strives to partner with established industry leaders, and we believe that this forward-looking strategic partnership positions TGOD to capitalize on the future cannabinoid beverage market.”

Califormulations is well positioned to immediately execute on a strategy to become the preeminent beverage formulation and commercialization centre in the United States.  TGOD’s co-founding investment in Califormulations is occurring alongside the expertise of Symrise Inc. (“Symrise”), including its Beverage Innovation Centers in Laguna Beach and Teterboro. Symrise, TGOD and founding management have provided a combination of equity and debt financing to capitalize Califormulations.

TGOD’s investment in Califormulations illustrates TGOD’s progressive corporate philosophy of investing in brand differentiating capabilities.  As global laws and regulations permit, Califormulations will be an important enabler allowing TGOD to manage supply chains without excessive investment in bricks and mortar.  This approach is consistent with TGOD’s long-term objective to focus capital investments on building the world’s leading organic cannabis brand. The Company intends to leverage the experience within Califormulations to expedite the US launch of TGOD-branded organic hemp-based CBD beverages, as laws and regulations permit. Initially, however, the focus will be on having bulk non-infused beverage concentrates produced and shipped by Califormulations to TGOD-owned and contracted manufacturing sites around the globe, including Canada, for infusion with cannabinoids and distribution within legal markets.

Califormulations is a key component to TGOD’s existing global organic cannabinoid-infused beverage strategy. TGOD’s beverage team will have access to and use of Califormulations’ R&D facilities to collaborate on hemp-derived CBD beverage developments, while maintaining and enhancing TGOD’s intellectual property portfolio. TGOD will enjoy certain exclusivities pertaining to the development of organic cannabinoid-infused beverages through the Califormulations platform.

“Collectively, the complementary capabilities of this ecosystem give Califormulations a unique position in the beverage/consumer packaged goods market that will foster innovation and scale new, successful brands quickly,” commented Paul Graham, President of Symrise Flavors North America.

$GGBXF Brings Hemp CBD to Abercrombie And Fitch

Cannabis company Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE:GGB) (OTC:GGBXF) (“GGB” or “the Company”) is partnering with Abercrombie & Fitch Co. to sell its CBD-infused bath bombs and other body-care products in a limited number of stores.

Columbus, Ohio-based Green Growth already sells personal-care products containing the non-intoxicating ingredient at DSW shoe stores, has CBD shops in malls owned by Simon Property Group Inc. and has a licensing agreement with Authentic Brands Group and its Greg Norman brand.

The deal, announced Tuesday, will see Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy body scrubs, bath bombs, cleansing oils, lotions and lip balms sold in 10 Abercrombie & Fitch stores in Massachusetts, California, Colorado, and Nevada. The products are made with CBD derived from hemp, which was legalized with the U.S. farm bill in December and is said by its proponents to help with health issues ranging from insomnia to pain and inflammation.

Green Growth appointed Brian Logan, a former executive at New Albany, Ohio-based Abercrombie, as its chief financial officer earlier this year.

Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE:GGB) (OTC:GGBXF) recently walked away from a takeover bid for Canadian pot company Aphria Inc. after Aphria’s shares traded significantly above the offer price. The two companies are now in discussions about a potential commercial arrangement, they said last month.

$TCAN 420 with CNW – NH Senate Okays Medical Marijuana Home Cultivation

House Bill 364, a proposed law that seeks to allow patients taking medical cannabis to grow marijuana at home, has been approved by the senate in New Hampshire. The vote was close, but the bill sailed through 14-10.

Under the proposed legislation, patients who have been enrolled on the medical marijuana program of the state can have 12 medical marijuana seedlings, 3 young plants and 3 mature plants for their own use.

Currently, New Hampshire has 7,000 registered patients in the medical cannabis program. These patients have been compelled to get all their medical marijuana from just four Alternative Treatment Centers operating in the state.

The small number of retail outlets has resulted in high medical cannabis product prices, and many patients who cannot afford those products have resorted to using prescription opioids and other potentially harmful alternatives since medical marijuana isn’t covered by most insurance companies.

Activists have welcomed the bill saying that it will give patients a viable alternative to the expensive medical marijuana available at Alternative Treatment Centers.

There was resistance to the bill in the senate, and several changes were made in order to accommodate the concerns of the dissenting voices. For example, the bill initially had a provision which would allow a medical cannabis patient to gift marijuana to another patient who is registered to use medical cannabis in the state.

This provision was removed because there were concerns that such gifting would open the way to medical marijuana getting to the wrong people, such as criminal gangs selling marijuana on the black market.

Despite the changes, some senators, such as Sen. James Gray, are still adamant that legalizing home grows isn’t a good move. He said that the state has a rigorous system in place to make sure that the licensed cultivators only supply their products to the state-approved retailers. Allowing home grows creates a regulatory nightmare because it will be hard to monitor the plants grown by each patient who chooses to grow medical marijuana, Gray added.

Now that the bill has received senate approval, it now heads back to the House of Representatives where it had initially been approved and sent to the senate. The bill is coming back to the House so that the lawmakers there can consider the changes made by senate.

If the lawmakers in the House of Representatives pass the bill in its current form, then it will be sent to the desk of Gov. Sununu for a final decision on whether it becomes law.

TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) and Therma Bright Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) sympathize with the patients and call upon the authorities to pass the bill quickly so that those who cannot afford the medical cannabis in Alternative Treatment Centers can grow their own.

TGOD cannabis is grown in living soil without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, and it is certified-organic by ECOCERT and Pro-cert, both of which are pre-eminent global certification bodies (http://nnw.fm/N9wq5).
