Kelowna, British Columbia – July 10, 2019 – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQX:LXRP) (CNSX:LXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”), a drug delivery platform innovator, announces that it has entered a definitive 5-year agreement, via its subsidiary Lexaria Hemp Corp, to provide Lexaria’s patented DehydraTECHTM technology to Nic’s Beverages Ltd for use in CBD-based beverages to be produced and sold throughout the United States.
This new license is the fourth beverage license awarded by Lexaria; three of which are for immediate use in the US and one in Canada pending new legislation taking effect in October.
Nic’s Beverages will initially begin production of ready-to-drink (“RTD”) cold brew coffees enhanced with CBD from multi spectrum hemp oil.
“We are currently in discussions with major wholesale houses and are looking to be in the market by the first of October,” said John Goodpasture, CEO of Nic’s Beverages. “DehydraTECH technology is perfect in allowing us to deliver CBD from hemp oil with zero impact on our cold brewed coffee’s outstanding aroma or flavour. Nic’s is extremely excited about our new product lines and our continued growth with Lexaria.”
Nic’s Beverages started out simply from a father and son’s love of a good cup of coffee. Nic’s is a smooth Cold Brew Coffee that is infused with CBD. Available in 4 unique flavors and coming soon to a convenience store near you.

Organigram plans for launch of dried powder formulation beverage products in early 2020 in Canada
- Proprietary nano-emulsion technology, developed based on analytical testing, used to create products with an initial onset of 10-15 minutes
- Shelf-stable, thermally-stable, water-compatible and palatable cannabinoid nano-emulsion formulation allows for the production of both liquid and powdered beverage products
- Company actively seeking experienced beverage partner for global product development
In anticipation of the legalization of adult use recreational cannabis edibles in Canada, as well as consumer demand for cannabis-infused beverages, Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI), the parent company of Organigram Inc. (the “Company” or “Organigram”), a leading licensed producer of cannabis, has developed a proprietary nano-emulsification technology that will allow for the production of both liquid and powdered cannabinoid products.
In addition to the Company’s previously announced plans to launch a range of premium cannabinoid-infused chocolates, Organigram is planning to launch a variety of dried powder formulation beverage products in early 2020 in Canada.
“This is an exciting time for cannabis product development, says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. “We know that predictability and reliability are important to adult consumers of cannabinoid-infused products. We also believe that a powder additive will offer consumers a unique and differentiated offering, along with convenience and discretion. Allowing consumers to make their own choice as to which beverage they will infuse opens up a new consumption experience for Canadian cannabis consumers.”
A key anticipated feature of the products to be developed by Organigram is the initial onset of the effects of the cannabinoids within 10 to 15 minutes. To determine the onset of effects, the cannabinoid particles have been studied at a size of 20 nm (nanometers). Organigram, subject to the receipt of any required approvals, plans to conduct further testing to confirm the onset of action and duration of effect.
At the same time, the Company is also actively seeking a strategic partner with proven experience in beverage product development to take advantage of the liquid formulation it has developed.
About Nano-Emulsion
Typically, the active ingredients in cannabis such as Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD) are lipophilic, and don’t naturally dissolve in water. The process by which the body processes these ingredients can take a significant amount of time and likely delay the onset and offset of the effects of the cannabinoids.
“In order to reliably speed up this onset/offset process, nano-emulsification of these fatty substances into very small water soluble droplets enables them to be dispersed uniformly in water,” says Dr. Alec Zhou, Director of Research and Development, Organigram. “This process effectively bypasses a large part of the metabolic process, accelerating absorption of active forms of the cannabinoids into the bloodstream.”
The emulsion process developed by the Organigram team generates micro-droplets that are very small and uniform, translating to an absorption and onset of effect that is rapid, reliable and controlled.
“With traditional edibles and beverages, the body spends significant time breaking down fat soluble cannabinoid particles which are then absorbed and metabolized in the body before effects are felt. This lengthy process can result in accidental overconsumption and undesirable experiences,” says Ray Gracewood, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Organigram.
“We thought that if we can do that breakdown work before a consumer ingests the product, these products could have the potential to change the way consumers think about cannabis-infused products.”
Organigram’s nano-emulsion technology is stable to temperature variations, mechanical disturbance, salinity, pH, and sweeteners.
About Organigram’s Dried Powder Formulation
Organigram researchers have also recently developed a way to transform this emulsification system into a solid form, turning it into a dissolvable powder. This shelf-stable, thermally-stable, water-compatible and palatable cannabinoid nano-emulsion formulation is expected to provide an initial onset of effect within 10 to 15 minutes if used in a beverage.
The powdered formulation will offer consumers a measured dose of cannabinoids which they can then add to the beverage of their choice and expect a reliably rapid onset and offset of effects, while also offering the discretion, portability and shelf life expected of a dry formulation.
About Organigram Holdings Inc.
Organigram Holdings Inc. is a NASDAQ Global Select and TSX Venture Exchange listed company whose wholly owned subsidiary, Organigram Inc., is a licensed producer of cannabis and cannabis-derived products in Canada.

Canopy Rivers Inc. (“Canopy Rivers” or the “Company“) (TSXV: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) congratulates its portfolio company TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend“) (CSE: TER) (OTCQX: TRSSF) on its announcement today that it has received an amendment to its licence from Health Canada allowing for the sale of cannabis oils from its facility in Mississauga, Ontario. Sales of TerrAscend’s cannabis oils are set to begin immediately through its medical marketplace, Solace Health. This news comes two months following TerrAscend’s announcement that it had been issued a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate in accordance with the rules governing medical products in the European Union, in conjunction with establishing a sales and distribution agreement with iuvo Therapeutics GmbH, a German pharmaceutical wholesaler.
“With another key milestone achieved by TerrAscend in a matter of a few short months, the company continues to demonstrate its ambition to become a global provider of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products,” said Narbe Alexandrian, President and CEO of Canopy Rivers. “Cannabis oil is gaining popularity in Canada, the US and in other emerging global medical markets, and this sales licence enables TerrAscend to meet growing demand for non-combustible cannabis products.”
In October 2018, to accommodate TerrAscend’s strategic pursuits internationally, including select opportunities in the United States, Canopy Rivers agreed to restructure its investment and waive certain restrictive covenants that were granted by TerrAscend, in connection with its original investment. For more information regarding Canopy Rivers’ investment in TerrAscend, please refer to the final prospectus of the Company dated February 21, 2019, filed with Canadian securities regulators and available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Green Organic Dutchman has taken an organic approach to cannabis, as consumers grow more concerned about what they ingest.
The Green Organic Dutchman (TGOD) is all about organic. This means their growing methods to manage the different biological systems are more complex than traditional growing methods.
TGOD lives by the highest standards in cultivating premium, certified organic cannabis. Because of its complex organic growing methods, they use the most efficient and innovative technology to produce clean and pure, certified organic cannabis.
Not all cannabis is created equal. If someone cares about the way that their fruits and vegetables are grown and they carefully wash all of them when they buy them, they should care the same about their cannabis. The certified organic process leads to a cleaner product free of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and allows Mother Nature to do what she does best.
TGOD is extremely mindful when it comes to designed sustainable practices for their local communities. This means less packaging, less water, less energy. The company takes the natural environment that we live in into consideration and works with local communities to make life better for future generations.
Certified Organic
The Green Organic Dutchman takes organic seriously. Their processes are certified by both ECOCERT and Pro-Cert. In addition, they’re the only Licensed Producer where 100% of their cannabis products is organically grown.

Back in 2016, voters passed a measure to legalize recreational marijuana in Maine. Since then, residents have been waiting for the state government to draft and pass regulations which would operationalize recreational cannabis cultivation, manufacture and sales. Gov. Janet Mills has now signed the regulations and brings the long wait to an end.
These guidelines will take effect in September and the first recreational cannabis sales could begin early next year.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Gov. Mills remarked that the rules show what can happen when the government works with legislators, industry players and members of the public to attain a common goal. She added that this law brings the state ever so close to making the people’s wish of legalizing recreational marijuana a reality.
One of the clauses in the regulatory framework states that any marijuana company which wishes to be licensed in the state must have a resident who has lived in Maine for at least four years as the majority shareholder with an ownership stake that isn’t less than 51 percent. This requirement will remain in force until June 2021.
The law also contains restrictions on who can sell marijuana in the state. Anyone who has been convicted for any offense related to drugs (even if that drug isn’t marijuana) within the past 10 years and those who have ever had their marijuana license revoked anywhere in the U.S. aren’t eligible for a marijuana sales license in Maine.
Local authorities have also been allowed to decide whether recreational marijuana businesses can open within their jurisdictions or not. So far, only a paltry 15 out of the 455 municipalities in the state have expressed interest in licensing recreational cannabis businesses.
This low interest is understandable from two key perspectives. First, the ballot measure which saw the legalization of marijuana was passed by a slim majority of voters. If voter sentiments haven’t changed much since 2016, it is reasonable to expect that a sizeable number of municipalities (and the residents therein) will be opposed to recreational marijuana.
Secondly, many municipalities have been waiting on the state government to pass the regulatory framework before they can decide whether to opt in or out of the recreational industry. Now that the rules are out, the vast majority of municipalities in this category will make their position known by the time recreational sales officially begin.
Marijuana industry watchers are wondering what industry players like Youngevity International Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) and Willow Biosciences Inc. (CSE: WLLW) think about this regulatory framework, which has become law in Maine.

Palm Beach, FL – July 2, 2019 – Demand for CBD is on the rise all over the world. All as cannabis-infused products find their way onto the shelves of major retailers, with analysts believing the trend provide a significant catalyst. Piper Jaffray, for example, believes the CBD market alone could be worth up to $100 billion. In addition, according to Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, global spending on cannabis could reach $57 billion by 2027. All as people around the world wake up to the health benefits of cannabis, including the treatment of insomnia, stress, anxiety, pain, and even chronic issues. That’s opening a wide range of opportunity for companies including The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTCQB:BOSQF), Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE:CGC)(TSX:WEED), The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX:FIRE)(OTCQX:SPRWF), Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE:GGB)(OTCQB:GGBXF), and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB) (TSX:ACB).
The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS)(OTCQB:BOSQF) BREAKING NEWS: The Yield Growth Corp. just announced that its Urban Juve Anti-Aging Serum can now be sold in the European market. A Compliance Certificate has been issued by Biorius, who is acting as Urban Juve’s Responsible Person in Europe. Pursuant to EU regulations, Yield Growth retrained Biorius to act as its Responsible Person for Urban Juve, Yield Growth’s wholly owned subsidiary that formulates luxury hemp-based skincare products. In order to sell products in the European Union, the Responsible Person must first issue a compliance certificate for each product. After compliance review of each ingredient in the Anti-Aging Serum, including Urban Juve’s proprietary hemp root oil, Biorius issued a certificate of compliance, confirming that Urban Juve Anti-Aging Serum can now be sold in the European Market. “This certificate of compliance is a crucial last step towards distribution in European markets,” says Penny Green, CEO of Yield Growth. “We’re very much looking forward to introducing high-quality hemp-powered cosmetics to a new consumer base in the European Union.”
As previously announced, Yield Growth has already signed a letter of intent with Melorganics Hellas, who will act as the exclusive retail distributor and non-exclusive e-commerce distributor for Urban Juve products in Greece and Cyprus. And as proposed legislation across the European Union continues to bring cannabis closer to the mainstream, high-end cannabis products are gaining in popularity. With a total population over 508 million, the EU represents massive market potential for Urban Juve products. Urban Juve is seeking to obtain compliance certificates for sale in the EU of all 11 of its products currently in the market. Sales of Urban Juve products in Europe are expected to commence in the fall. Read the full Press Release and more for BOSS at: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-boss

These things, together with the dynamic partnerships we’ve entered into on the accessory and technology fronts, position us well for this new market launch in December as per Health Canada’s recent regulatory amendments.”

As Canadians countdown to the start of cannabis edibles sales in December, some sobering information is filtering in to the effect that life insurance premiums could go up depending on one’s cannabis edibles consumption habits.
When recreational marijuana was legalized in October 2018, most insurance companies stopped regarding marijuana users as smokers. People who are categorized as smokers can pay up to four times more in life insurance premiums when compared to those who are categorized as non-smokers. This is because smokers are seen as being higher-risk clients for insurance companies.
However, it has emerged that one’s marijuana consumption habits can still get that person in the smokers’ category when taking out a life insurance policy.
Different insurance companies have their own cannabis consumption threshold beyond which the individual is classified as a smoker. Many put the weekly consumption cap at 2-4 times, but some have a higher consumption threshold.
So, what’s the deal with cannabis edibles and life insurance premiums?
It is anticipated that marijuana edibles will appeal to a broader section of the Canadian community, including those who are queasy about smoking cannabis flower. Additionally, it will be easier for someone to consume an edible product, such as a brownie, containing cannabis since these products will become readily available.
For example, many will not find any problem consuming at least one cannabis edible each day, and it is rational to expect lots of Canadians to consume more than one pot edible a day. This puts their weekly average consumption at more than the threshold set by insurers, and the smoker classification can get activated for such people.
Since marijuana has only been recently legalized, insurance policies are still in their infancy and the fine print hasn’t yet been adjusted to cater for the actual quantity of marijuana consumed. For example, a small brownie containing a small amount of marijuana is currently rated the same as a jumbo one having much more marijuana than what is contained in the smaller brownie.
This seems unfair to marijuana users, but it is what it is until the policies are modified to accommodate those nuances.
Some people may be wondering how life insurance companies will get data on their clients or prospective clients’ cannabis consumption habits. While these insurers will not access your cannabis products purchase records, they will ask you to provide some information about your marijuana consumption habits as you take out a policy.
If you downplay how much marijuana you consume in order to avoid being classified as a smoker, you face a high risk of any insurance claim you or your loved ones make being denied if the insurer later discovers, from your medical records for example, that you consume way more marijuana than what you declared. A discussion with your attorney is advisable before you sign any life insurance paperwork.
These developments in Canada paint a picture of what could happen in the U.S. if the federal government ever amends its marijuana policies to become more permissive towards the substance. How would this insurance issue play out? It would be enlightening to know what the take of marijuana industry players like VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) and TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FRA: TH8) is on this matter.

Clinical-stage gene therapy company Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) this morning provided an update on the development of its lead drug candidate, Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy, in combination with immunotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). Based on data from the ongoing study through GNPX’s July 2018 sponsored research agreement with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, as well as prior clinical and pre-clinical studies, Genprex is working with its scientific advisory board and outside consultants to design a clinical trial for Oncoprex. According to the update, the new study will focus on Oncoprex in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of NSCLC, with a goal of enrolling patients in the first quarter of 2020. “Recent studies have shown that less than half of cancer patients qualify for approved immunotherapies based on the patient’s PD-1 or PD-L1 protein expression level,” Genprex President and COO Julien Pham said in the news release. “Current immunotherapy treatment is only benefitting a small number of cancer patients. We are working to fill this gap by combining our lead drug candidate with approved immunotherapies to give patients more treatment options. The preclinical studies have shown encouraging data that this combination could be a viable treatment option for late-stage non-small cell lung cancer.”

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(TM) 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. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Genprex.com

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 1, 2019 — Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. (CSE: LDS), (OTCQX: LDSYF), (Frankfurt: LD6, WKN: A14XHT) (“LDS” or the “Company”) announces it has entered into an exclusive agreement to negotiate a proposed business amalgamation between TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN, XETR: TH8) (“TransCanna”, or “TCAN”) and Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. The proposed business amalgamation is expected to involve the acquisition by TransCanna of all the outstanding common shares of LDS at a price equal to the greater of $51,660,140 payable in common shares of TransCanna and the amount resulting from a fixed exchange ratio of one (1) TransCanna common shares for every ten (10) LDS common shares.
This transaction, if completed, would allow for the operational foundation created by LDS to be expanded into the TCAN northern California facility in a significant way. In this new entity the TCAN-known cannabis brands with LDS expertise could have a potential to be cultivated, processed, manufactured and taken direct to market almost immediately upon closing of this transaction. The shareholders of LDS will receive a premium on the current price, while being protected from any downside pricing risk between the day of this news release and the closing date by the purchase price floor of $51,660,140 (which can be greater but not less) and the fixed share exchange ratio of 10:1 LDS shares for TCAN shares. TCAN management has been successful in their ability to promote and deliver to the market a comprehensive vision of the value of a vertically-integrated California cannabis operation. This transaction would make that vision a reality the day it closes. There are a number of transaction qualifications required before this decision goes to the shareholders. The due diligence by both companies, a fairness opinion and the approval from the Securities Exchange Commission. Ultimately the shareholders will determine the final decision of whether or not the amalgamation will be completed.
The Company’s CEO, Brad Eckenweiler, stated, “We believe that the amalgamation of our two companies will ultimately yield a value greater than the current individual values of LDS and TCAN. During the coming months, I believe the benefit of this transaction will become apparent to all the parties. The transaction will require approximately 60 days to structure and its closing will be subject to the approval of the Securities Exchange Commission, a fairness opinion, due diligence and the shareholders’ approval. During the estimated 60-day period the shareholders will have ample time to decide for themselves as to the value of this transaction. Moreover, there is no single group, brokerage or the management for LDS that have a percentage of ownership that would constitute a majority interest capable of deciding this issue alone. This transaction will be decided by the shareholders, period.”
The Company will continue to update the market on all events as they become relevant.

As the first half of this year comes to an end, you may be wondering what trends have firmly established themselves as shapers of the cannabis industry. Here is an overview of some trends you may have noticed or need to watch going forward.
Trend #1: Growth of Marijuana Social Consumption
It was always ironical that while marijuana was legal in various jurisdictions, it remained nearly impossible to legally use pot outside one’s home. A new wave of amendments and laws is addressing this gap and we have started seeing states and cities creating regulatory mechanisms for marijuana social consumption lounges. Expect these places to spring up in all jurisdictions where recreational marijuana is legal.
Trend #2: Revived Interest in Plant-Derived Remedies
The growth of the cannabis industry may have had an unforeseen consequence of reigniting people’s interest in treatments that tackle health complications from the root rather than just fixing symptoms. Throughout the U.S. and across the world, plant-derived medicine is seeing a revival which may just be what the marijuana industry needs to go to the next level. The CBD craze is one result of this trend. Expect to see numerous formulations from full-spectrum marijuana and hemp at a hospital or wellness center near you!
Trend #3: Remorse for the War on Drugs
There seems to have been a lot of soul-searching going on and the desire to correct the wrongs committed against racial minorities during the failed war on drugs has become a strong driver of marijuana legalization and decriminalization efforts. Illinois has set the bar, but don’t be surprised if other states raise it higher during the next wave of recreational marijuana legalization initiatives.
Trend #4: Consolidation Within the Industry
This was first noticed last year, but it appears to be gathering momentum as this year progresses. As the cannabis industry matures, many mom and pop or small startups in the industry are being gobbled up by bigger players who have the financial and other resources to successfully navigate the complexities of the industry brought by the contradictory state and federal laws. One advantage of this consolidation is that it will promote the industry further since Americans have generally grown to put more faith in big brands across all industries.
Trend #5: Cannabis Flower is Peaking as a Product of Choice
Cannabis flower still takes the lion’s share of the cannabis market, but this year has seen other segments registering massive growth that outstrips the rate at which the market for smokable flower is growing. For example, marijuana oils and edibles have seen explosive growth in recent months, and this surge is likely to continue at the expense of cannabis flower. Several reasons, such as the stigma associated with smoking marijuana, account for the growth of the other product lines.
Current and potential investors in the cannabis industry may be well advised to watch the trends above carefully and make their investment decisions accordingly. It would be interesting to hear what industry participants like The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) have to say about the trends above.
