Delic Holdings Corp. (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF) Continues Investor Outreach as Psychedelic Wellness Drug Development Advances

  • Delic Holdings Corp operates in North America to advance the use of psychedelics in treating difficult conditions related to major depression, PTSD and anxiety
  • The company has a three-pronged approach to promoting access and affordability for treatment drugs: conducting research in its lab facility, advancing treatment through its clinical network, and educating the public through conferences and Web-based media
  • The use of psychedelic drugs to treat these mental health concerns is gaining credibility some 50 years after hallucinogenic drugs reached their peak use and were generally declared illegal
  • Delic recently received Health Canada authorization to obtain 60 grams of psilocybin mushrooms for its purposes and to conduct research using other psychedelics, such as MDMA (Ecstasy), LSD, DMT (Dimitri), mescaline and 2C-B.
On April 19, 1943, a Swiss chemical researcher experienced what has come to be known as “the world’s first intentional acid trip” as he experimented with the hallucinogenic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (“LSD“) while riding his bicycle home from work. The day subsequently became celebrated as “Bicycle Day” by the drug’s users (https://ibn.fm/WN2av). Some 50 years after LSD and other psychedelic drugs reached their peak use in the United States, psychedelics are enjoying a new resurgence in popularity and possible legal authorization as medical researchers examine their potential to treat difficult mental disorders — particularly where psilocybin, the naturally hallucinogenic prodrug compound in “magic mushrooms,” is concerned (https://ibn.fm/mvupb). Psychedelic wellness company Delic Holdings (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF) is a leader in new medicines and treatments for a modern world, making the health benefits more accessible and affordable to patients, and reframing the conversation around psychedelics. Coinciding with Bicycle Day, the company issued an update April 19 on Delic Co-founder and CEO Matt Stang’s appearances at the April 20 Sequire Cannabis and Psychedelic Conference and the April 22-24 Scottsdale Capital Event, where Stang was scheduled to meet with investors about the company’s strategic outlook for the remainder of the year and network with other industry insiders participating in the cannabis and psychedelic space (https://ibn.fm/EBwxG). The company sponsors outreach to industry companies and consumers through its annual Meet Delic psychedelic conference, which debuted last year as “the world’s largest psychedelic wellness event” with over 2,500 attendees and 16 hours of speakers and panel sessions in Las Vegas, as well as themed music and entertainment (https://ibn.fm/13BYm). This year’s event is scheduled for early November, with tickets already on sale (https://ibn.fm/by3IK). The scientific backbone of the company’s ecosystem is its Delic Labs research facility, which is federally authorized to work with psilocybin and cannabis to improve extraction, analytical testing and chemical processes while developing product lines and new intellectual property (“IP”). Delic Labs recently received a Health Canada 56 Research Exemption that allows its scientists to do research with a number of compounds outside of psychedelic mushrooms, including MDMA (Ecstasy), LSD, DMT (Dimitri), mescaline and 2C-B. Health Canada also authorized Delic Labs to acquire 60 grams of psilocybin mushrooms from Nectar Health Sciences Laboratory Division Inc., and the lab has applied for a Dealer’s License that would let it commercialize its psilocybin research and associated IP for medical and research purposes. The company also operates the largest ketamine clinic chain in the United States, Ketamine Wellness Centers (“KWC“), which has overseen 70,000 mental health treatments to date. Delic plans to open more state-of-the-art clinics by mid-2023 as part of its growing profile. “At Delic, we have built the most profitable model for scaling the best-in-class care directly to patients through the largest network of mental health clinics in the U.S.,” Delic Co-founder and CEO Matt Stang stated in January (https://ibn.fm/XTey8). “There are 51.5 million Americans who have experienced a mental health condition and the ongoing pandemic has only exacerbated the crisis. We are seeing a strong demand for alternatives to current treatments with lasting outcomes and less side effects. … Delic is well-positioned for growth and profitability in 2022 and beyond.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.DelicCorp.com.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Advancing DehydraTECH-Nicotine Research to Support Safer, More Effective Oral Alternative to Harmful Pulmonary Administration Practices

  • Lexaria expects to begin dosing this summer as part of a human nicotine study, NIC-H22-1, to compare DehydraTECH-nicotine pouch performance to that of existing leading brands such as ON! and Zyn
  • So far, the company’s animal studies have evidenced that the technology delivers outstanding results, including faster delivery, an increase in the quantity of peak nicotine delivered, higher brain levels of nicotine, and enhanced bioavailability
  • In its most recent study, Lexaria established that DehydraTECH-oral nicotine delivery peaked in bloodstream 10x to 20x faster than controls and peak levels achieved were up to 10x higher than controls
  • Lexaria’s research aims to support a safe alternative to the harmful, antiquated pulmonary nicotine administration practices, which claim 7.7 million lives annually
Since commencing in vivo studies evaluating its DehydraTECH technology for oral nicotine applications in 2018, global innovator Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) has primarily focused on animal studies that have proven the technology’s effectiveness in promoting faster absorption, higher peak absorption, and greater overall quantities of nicotine, on average, in the blood than concentration-matched control formulations. Building on the successes of these animal studies, Lexaria has now set its sights on a human nicotine study, NIC-H22-1, which is expected to begin dosing this summer (https://ibn.fm/DwaiJ). NIC-H22-1, a pharmacokinetic randomized, double-blinded, cross-over study involving 36 human participants, will compare Lexaria’s DehydraTECH-nicotine pouch performance to that of existing leading brands available to US consumers, namely ON! and Zyn. The study primarily aims to collect data on the maximum concentration of nicotine in the bloodstream (“Cmax), the time at which Cmax was reached (“Tmax”), and the area under the (“AUC”) – a parameter that indicates the total quantity of nicotine delivered over time – relative to controls. In addition, as part of its secondary objectives, the study NIC-H22-1 will include extensive subjective evaluations related to, among other things, the user experience and throat burn. Ultimately, Lexaria hopes to evidence that DehydraTECH-processed purified nicotine improves oral tissue absorption and reduces negative experiences compared to brands currently sold to consumers. Lexaria’s first animal study, whose results the company announced in April 2018, revealed that DehydraTECH delivered significant nicotine absorption performance improvements relative to controls. These included: 1,160% faster delivery of equivalent quantities of nicotine; 148% uptick in the quantity of peak nicotine delivered to the bloodstream; 560% higher brain levels of nicotine; enhanced bioavailability as evidenced by lower urine levels of nicotine; and lower quantities of key liver metabolites in the bloodstream, suggesting bypass of first-pass liver metabolism (https://ibn.fm/uIr7z). Later in August 2018, Lexaria announced the results of an animal study showing the company had successfully delivered nicotine in an edible form into the blood plasma a few minutes after dosing. Notable highlights from the study included a 79% improvement in Cmax; a 94% enhancement in AUC, a 70% improvement, on average, in the speed of delivering the nicotine; and significantly greater absorption levels. According to Lexaria, this study corroborated and confirmed the validity of the April 2018 results (https://ibn.fm/yefXr). In 2021, the company announced its oral nicotine absorption study, NIC-A21-1, revealing that DehydraTECH-oral nicotine delivery peaked in bloodstream 10x to 20x faster than controls and peak levels achieved were up to 10x higher than controls (https://ibn.fm/FzMmH). “Performance gains of this magnitude could be of great significance in enabling the oral pouch product category to offer improved nicotine satiety and effectiveness, with a goal of one day rendering pulmonary administration practices like smoking and vaping as obsolete,” Lexaria CEO Chris Bunka said of last year’s outstanding results. Through its focus on oral nicotine products as well as its ever-growing portfolio of in vivo studies, Lexaria’s research aims to support a safer, more effective nicotine alternative to 1.1 billion smokers worldwide (as of 2019). With tobacco causing 1 in 5 deaths in males globally and roughly 7.7 million cumulative deaths annually (https://ibn.fm/nlHsM), Lexaria’s DehydraTECH technology, which has so far delivered outstanding results in animals, could help the millions of users move away from the harmful smoking habit. And the upcoming human study is expected to inch the company closer to realizing this goal. In fact, Lexaria is optimistic this larger human study will produce positive findings pursuant to those evidenced by the 2021 study.

SPYR Inc. (SPYR) Plans to Continue Building Revenue Streams With IoT Product Developer Acquisitions

  • SPYR Inc. recently announced acquisition plans for the coming months that it expects to increase its revenue streams
  • SPYR’s targets include a proprietary lighting technologies developer and a proprietary high-value asset tracking technologies developer for use in the construction, agriculture, asset management, police, defense, energy and cold-chain industries
  • The deals are in the preliminary stages, but SPYR is working to complete a non-binding letters of intent in the near future
  • SPYR subsidiary Applied Magix completed a national TV ad campaign for its first branded product, MagixDrive, which serves as a wireless adapter between an iPhone and a vehicle’s CarPlay infotainment system to increase ease of access to apps and other functionality while driving
SPYR (OTCQB: SPYR), a technology focused holding company, is preparing to add additional revenue streams to its operations, paving the way for a possible boost to shareholder value this year if its plans come to fruition. SPYR’s current technology operations are largely centered on the Apple(TM) ecosystem — its subsidiary Applied Magix, Inc. develops and resells products for the multibillion-dollar IoT smart home product and connected car product markets that are designed for consumers who are Apple fans. SPYR’s holding company acquisition plans for 2022 include two targets the company mentioned in a news release March 28. The first is a developer of proprietary lighting technologies that have gained credibility as the product standards in the transportation and industrial lighting spaces. The second company controls a proprietary web-based software platform and complementary hardware that are used by the construction, agriculture, asset management, police, defense, energy and cold-chain industries for high-value asset tracking, according to SPYR’s statement. “Over the past year, we have been actively exploring expansion of the holding company for the benefit of our shareholders, and I believe these two opportunities are very attractive and will, assuming we complete the acquisitions, contribute to the overall business development and profitability of the company for the benefit of our shareholders,” CEO Tim Matula stated (https://ibn.fm/M26n9). SPYR anticipates completing non-binding letters of intent “soon” that will provide security and time to perform due diligence research. SPYR’s subsidiary Applied Magix, Inc. gained notice recently for establishing an independent advisory board with industry veterans such as Fred Tio, the former senior creative director of Worldwide Marcom, Apple Inc., and Michael Teitelbaum, the senior brand integrity manager at Jazwares, to help provide guidance and expanded name credibility to the small cap company (https://ibn.fm/25oPB). Applied Magix obtains and resells white label Apple HomeKit(TM) products and accessories from worldwide manufacturers as well as manufacturing its own new branded line of Apple-friendly products. A TV ad campaign launched the week after Christmas to promote Applied Magix’s MagixDrive wireless CarPlay device bundle (https://ibn.fm/rrkE7) received expanded airings in February (https://ibn.fm/gRznJ), and the company recently announced a limited-time special pricing offer for MagixDrive as a standalone product to help get it into more people’s hands. “It was very satisfying to see the public respond positively to our first commercials, but we felt we could do more to bring MagixDrive to more of our customers – so, we decided to go with less cost with an exclusive limited special pricing offer,” Applied Magix CEO Harald Zink stated (https://ibn.fm/Jktru). The MagixDrive standalone offer promotes Applied Magix’s first branded product, which works as a wireless adapter between an iPhone and a vehicle’s CarPlay infotainment system. “We believe this product is immensely practical — as a one-time install it automatically connects to your CarPlay when you enter your car so you can conveniently use your apps, listen to music and give Siri voice commands without needing to fish your phone out to plug it in,” Zink stated. The advertised bundle combines MagixDrive with the company’s MagixBlock data blockers and the MagixCharge in-car power adapter for a more empowered experience.

Friendable Inc. (FDBL) Promoting Free, Unlimited Music Distribution in April Artist Contest; Bonus ‘Grow With Us’ Campaign for Promotion

  • Friendable acquired Artist Republik and FeaturedX in January 2022 – bringing together a full-service artist offering without the need for label control
  • Fan Pass Live artist platform lets artists earn revenue for all aspects of their music, including fan subscriptions, contests, ticket sales, tips, and more
  • For April, Fan Pass Live is offering the top five artists with the most ticket sales the opportunity to win free, unlimited music distribution for a year
  • Friendable will be integrating a non-fungible token (“NFT”) offering in the future, adding another stream of revenue for artists, by enabling fans to trade and sell these tokens
  • The global music streaming market was valued at $29.45 billion in 2021 and is expected to continue growing, with technological advances playing a major role in the expansion, especially the use of smart devices for distribution and production
Friendable (OTC: FDBL), is addressing an unmet need in the music industry for independent artists. The current structure requires artists to sign with labels, booking agents, and managers to acquire the resources necessary to record and distribute their music – not with Friendable’s 360 artist offering. Statistics show that most artists lose 90% of their streaming revenue to record labels, 10% to booking agents, and 15%-20% is spent in manager fees. Friendable’s 360 offerings are working with independent artists to help them take control of their music once more. In January 2022, Friendable completed its acquisition of Artist Republik and FeaturedX – which has made its flagship offering Fan Pass Live an all-inclusive solution for artists, fans, and labels. With Fan Pass Live, artists now have access to production, distribution, and marketing tools they need to move forward in their careers without the limitations of signing with major recording companies. Friendable makes it possible for artists to earn more for their music – artists earn revenue for all aspects of their music, including fan subscriptions, contests, ticket sales, and more. Each month Fan Pass Live also gives artists an additional opportunity to earn through exclusive artist contests. For the month of April, Fan Pass Live wants artists to stream to win. The top five artists with the most ticket sales in April will win free, unlimited music distribution for a whole year. Additionally, Fan Pass Live is also giving a bonus to artists. When they promote three of their streams during April (tagging @fanpasslive on Instagram), they can win a free ‘Grow With Us’ campaign ($10 value) to add listeners to their Spotify and SoundCloud platforms. It is easy to win – join Fan Pass Live, set ticket prices and invite fans, and keep 100% of the sales. Friendable is currently working toward virtual integration and a non-fungible token (“NFT”) offering. NFTs are changing the way digital ownership and commerce occur in the industry. NFTs are a means for creators to generate additional revenue through sales and distribution. Artists will be able to use NFTs as a means of additional revenue and can be sold or traded among fans. The company has experienced significant growth since launch, leveraging a massive market opportunity. The global music streaming market was valued at $29.45 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 14.7% from 2022 to 2030 (https://ibn.fm/w35mb). Technology is expected to be the biggest growth factor for the industry, especially the increase in the use of smart devices for recording and distribution.

Hero Technologies Inc. (HENC) Looks to Expand as States Report $3.7B in Cannabis Recreational Tax Revenue in 2021

  • MPP report notes that states with legalized marijuana for adult use generated $3.7 billion in tax revenue from recreational cannabis sales
  • HENC is looking to leverage its cannabis expertise in more of these states
  • Company is aggressively pursuing expansion into Colorado, Massachusetts
A new report reveals that states with legalized recreational marijuana collected an estimated $3.7 billion in tax revenues last year (https://ibn.fm/iBUXq). That news bodes well for savvy players in the legal cannabis space, including Hero Technologies (OTC: HENC), as states are often eager to support revenue sources. “States that have legalized marijuana for adult use collectively generated more than $3.7 billion in tax revenue from recreational cannabis sales in 2021, a report from the Marijuana Policy Project (‘MPP’) that was released on Wednesday found,” reported Marijuana Moment. “That’s a 34% increase compared to revenue that states received from cannabis sales in 2020. “The report follows up on an analysis MPP put out in January that looked at the total adult-use cannabis tax revenue collected by all legal states since recreational sales started in Colorado and Washington State in 2014,” the article continued. “At the time, the 2021 figures were incomplete but still showed that states received more than $10 billion in tax dollars from recreational marijuana sales over the past seven years. Now that the data is updated for 2021, the organization says the 2014–2022 total as of March is $11.2 billion.” While cannabis remains on the federal list of banned substances outlined in the 1970 Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”), a growing number of states have passed laws providing for the medical or recreational legal use of the drug, with some states legalizing both uses. “According to 2020 U.S. Census Bureau apportionment numbers, more than 145 million Americans now live in a state that has legalized marijuana,” a U.S. News article reports (https://ibn.fm/EyU6Y). The article went to note that “the wave of initiatives to legalize marijuana began in 2012, and has mostly been driven by coastal states.” The article also projected that more states are likely to join those ranks in the coming years, as about two-thirds of American adults support marijuana legalization, according to a Pew Research Center. Survey. Hero Technologies is looking to leverage its cannabis expertise in more of these states. The company currently has a majority stake in BlackBox Systems and Technologies LLC, which has been operating legally in Michigan as a medical caregiver. BlackBox Systems is an aeroponic cannabis cultivation system that provides optimal conditions to enhance photosynthesis and cultivation of large flowering plants, creating increased efficiencies. HENC is aggressively pursuing an expansion of its cultivation and dispensary operations in Colorado through Mile High Green LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary. The company is also looking to move into Massachusetts through an additional wholly owned subsidiary, MassCannabis LLC. These three states are in the top-six cannabis markets in the United States (https://ibn.fm/SazEj). While California tops the list, Colorado comes in at number three, reporting a $2.5 billion market, with Michigan following in the number-four spot, showing a $1.4 billion market. Massachusetts ranks number six, with a market of $1.2 billion. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.HeroTechnologiesInc.com.

Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. (CIPI) Completes Name, Ticker Change to Better Reflect Focus on Clean Energy Leadership

  • Correlate Infrastructure Partners recently completed a name and ticker rebranding effort on the OTCQB exchange as part of its effort to clarify its identity and success with portfolio clean energy solutions in North America
  • Correlate Infrastructure Partners provides turnkey development and finance services to help commercial and industrial facilities reduce their use of fossil utilities thus reducing their carbon footprint
  • The company recently acquired Correlate Inc. a national leader in locally sited solar, energy storage, EV infrastructure and intelligent efficiency measures
  • Worldwide, countries are working to implement strategies for climate harm reduction following a 2015 Paris agreement supervised by the United Nations and reducing building greenhouse gas emissions has the potential to make a huge dent in their goals
During the seven years since 196 nation participants in the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference of the Parties (“COP”) reached an agreement setting goals to limit the rise in global temperatures, implementation of national plans has proceeded at a slow pace. Last year, U.N. Climate Change Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa offered a sobering assessment of the continuing impact of climate change and the need for action worldwide (https://ibn.fm/XtYSW). The COP’s participants agreed that they will report transparently on actions related to climate change mitigation and measures to adapt to the changes beginning in 2024 to help assess the nations’ collective progress toward long-term goals (https://ibn.fm/b6zo6). In the meantime, a number of countries are reporting a new sense of urgency now to secure energy sourcing in the wake of Russia’s war against Ukraine and the international sanctions resulting from it, which is generating further interest in green utilities (https://ibn.fm/V1yuB). Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI) is a clean utilities solution provider using data analysis and services to help commercial and industrial facilities access clean electrification through locally sited solar, energy storage, EV infrastructure and intelligent efficiency measures in response to the global climate concerns. The company recently completed the transition of abandoning its former name, Triccar, Inc., and former ticker symbol, TCCR, on the OTCQB exchange for an identity it believes better reflects its mission, after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) approved the CIPI ticker and name Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. “Since the merger of Correlate, Inc. in December 2021, the company has aggressively moved to rebrand and initiate an investor relations awareness campaign,” CEO Todd Michaels stated (https://ibn.fm/POyYD). “We are excited about the potential for future growth of the company in this market given that only 3 percent of the buildings in the United States have been optimized for efficiency, sustainability, renewable energy and electric vehicle support.” The company’s focus on existing commercial real estate energy infrastructure and alternatives for carbon reduction reflects statistics showing energy used in homes and other buildings contributes up to 40 percent of U.S. energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. While the United States and Canada have seen a 700 percent increase in net-zero energy and ultra-low energy commercial buildings during the past decade, many construction and development professionals are still struggling through a “net-zero learning curve,” according to a Utah Clean Energy statement last year (https://ibn.fm/9yw8W). The UN’s Statistics Division reports that global carbon dioxide emissions need to be reduced by 45 per cent by 2030 from 2010 levels and reach net-zero emissions by 2050 if the agreement reached seven years ago in Paris is to be fulfilled (https://ibn.fm/qpzDI). Correlate Infrastructure Partners believes that clients who make use of the company’s proprietary solutions for portfolio-scale development and financing will be able to make significant improvements to their net operating income as well, providing further incentive for change. Adoption of such building improvements represents the potential for the next boom market. The company expects to file its annual financial report on Form 10-K within the near future, following analysis of revenue data related to its acquisition of the Correlate subsidiary (https://ibn.fm/zUk3c).
