American Cannabis Partners Success Lies in the Details and its Values

  • ACP operates in two states and has strategic plans in place to expand into two more by 2024
  • Partnerships have allowed the recreation of the exact soil conditions, growing supplements, water makeup, and environment of Orange Hill in Jamacia
  • Junior Gordon, the Cultivation Manager of ACP, is an award-winning and highly sought after grower whose focus is primarily on plant health
The privately-owned American Cannabis Partners (“ACP”), a large scale organic cannabis cultivation company, is headquartered in Northern California but also has a foothold in Michigan. Since its beginning in 2018, ACP has acquired 12 cannabis licenses, 20,000 sq. ft of cultivation license in California, and 540,000 sq ft. of cultivation licenses and one retail license in Michigan. The company has plans to expand into its third U.S. state in 2022 and it’s fourth in 2024. The company prides itself in the level of detail given to growing its plants. Partnerships with Soilscapes and Link4 Systems have allowed the company to create exact soil conditions, growing supplements, water makeup, and environments that mimic Orange Hill in Jamacia. This has resulted in yields well above industry norms and the production of some of the most sought-after flower in the U.S. According to Gary Coltek, COO of ACP, the flower is so sought after that the entire crop of the new patent-pending strains, sold exclusively under the brand ZUK has been pre-sold for 2021 (https://ibn.fm/LNjoN). Junior Gordon, the Cultivation Manager of American Cannabis Partners, is a High Times Cannabis Cup and Ganjamaica Cup Winner and one of the top-ranked growers in the world (https://ibn.fm/UJnsQ). Gordon and his team focus daily on plant health which is one of the many reasons the final product is in constant demand. This attention to detail results in uniform, clean, and beautiful plants that are of the highest quality. The company believes strongly in conducting business in a way that benefits and does not harm the environment, employee, and customer experience. Therefore, as they seek out additional partnerships, they want to ensure that those who join them hold the same high values. These values include sustainable operating practices that reduce ACP’s environmental footprint while increasing social responsibility. This is achieved by:
  • Local purchasing and employment
  • Environment-friendly products
  • Energy and water conservation efforts
  • Waste management program that positively impacts people, planet, and profit
Part of ensuring that these values are maintained requires that ACP looks for real estate listings in cannabis-friendly states with a population demand, agricultural zoning, and available license. The land and equipment purchased by the company are paid for in full to remain debt-free. Once acquired, cost-effective measures are put into place to increase the market value of the land. American Cannabis Pertners is focused on four industry segments that include real estate, cultivation, medical research, and non-profit groups. The company supplies multiple forms of raw product at wholesale prices and provides stable profit margins for customers. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.ACPFarms.com.

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) Hires Co-Inventor of Flagship Technology as Lead Project Engineer

  • FuelPositive is providing commercially viable and sustainable clean energy solutions through its flagship and proprietary technology for carbon-free ammonia
  • The majority of ammonia used today (80%) is in the agriculture industry, with more minute percentages in waste, water treatment, antiseptic, refrigerants, textile, mining, and pharmaceuticals
  • Co-inventor and engineer Dr. Ghassan Chehade has accepted the position of Lead Project Engineer with FuelPositive Corp.
  • FuelPositive selected Natural Compressed Air Canada Ltd. to undertake the manufacturing of the Company’s second phase hydrogen-ammonia synthesizer commercial prototype systems for carbon-free ammonia production
  • The existing global ammonia market is expected to grow from $52.71 billion in 2017 to $81.42 billion by 2025. The carbon-free global ammonia markets could see much more dramatic growth
FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), a growth stage company that is focused on manufacturing, licensing, partnership, and acquisition opportunities that build upon various technological achievements, has announced that it has appointed Dr. Ghassan Chehade as Lead Project Engineer. Dr. Chehade is an engineer and co-inventor named on the provisional patent for FuelPositive’s proprietary technology to produce carbon-free ammonia. He worked with Dr. Ibrahim Dincer on the original development of the NH3 technology, according to a company press release (https://ibn.fm/GhH4K). FuelPositive is committed to providing commercially viable and sustainable clean energy solutions, including carbon-free ammonia (“NH3”), for use across a broad spectrum of industries and applications. The company’s flagship carbon-free ammonia technology provides an innovative solution to the hydrogen economy’s current challenges. Traditional NH3 manufacturing exists on a large scale, but centralized facilities result in some of the world’s most concentrated CO2 emissions. A total of approximately 200 million metric tonnes of NH3 are consumed each year – the majority used in the agricultural sector. According to a Fior Markets report, the global ammonia market is expected to grow from $52.71 billion in 2017 to $81.42 billion by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 5.59%. Agriculture accounts for more than 80% of the global ammonia use. Smaller percentages can be attributed to waste, water treatment, antiseptic, refrigerants, textile, mining, and pharmaceuticals (https://ibn.fm/3uFOR). According to a July 5 report, the global green ammonia market size is expected to expand at 54% of CAGR by 2025. (https://ibn.fm/7Xvle). The technology developed by Dr. Dincer and Dr. Chehade allows for in-situ production of NH3 in an entirely sustainable manner, using only water, air, and sustainable electricity. The production of hydrogen is energy intensive, but it is just one of the variables that hinder the hydrogen economy’s growth. The hurdles include:
  • Storage – the storage by compression or liquification is both cost-prohibitive and unsustainable
  • Distribution – the network for effective hydrogen deployment has yet to be developed due to the enormous infrastructure costs
  • End-Use – transportation-related end-use applications are still in their infancy, but almost any vehicle on the road today can be easily converted to operate on 100% carbon-free ammonia at a considerably low cost per mile
“Ghassan will play a significant role, working closely with National Compressed Air Canada Ltd., as we manufacture our Phase 2 commercial prototype demonstration systems for carbon-free NH3 production,” said Ian Clifford, the CEO of FuelPositive. “The manufacturing of demonstration prototypes is a major milestone for us as we transition from research and development to the commercialization phase of our growth. Having Ghassan involved daily will ensure success, preparing us for the rollout of our demonstration pilot projects in early 2022,” Clifford added. “I am very excited to join Fuel Positive as a Lead Project Engineer. I look forward to working with Ian and his team on advancing this important technology to the next phase,” said Ghassan Chehade. In May, FuelPositive announced that it selected Natural Compressed Air Canada Ltd. to undertake the manufacturing of the company’s second phase hydrogen-ammonia synthesizer commercial prototype systems for carbon-free ammonia production. One of the key benefits of FuelPositive’s technology is the flexibility allowing for small, medium, or large-scale production of NH3 on location, minimizing or even eliminating challenges and volatility associated with storage, distribution, and end-use.

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) Is ‘One to Watch’

  • InMed has a world class leadership team with a successful track record of drug development and commercialization
  • The company recently announced closing of a $12 million private placement
  • InMed has a solid and expanding intellectual property portfolio with multiple patents filed
  • The company recently signed an LOI to acquire rare cannabinoids manufacturer BayMedica
  • InMed retains all commercial rights to its IntegraSyn manufacturing system
  • InMed has filed clinical trial applications in several countries as part of a Phase 2 clinical trial of INM-755 (cannabinol) cream in epidermolysis bullosa
  • The consumer market for cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals in the United States is forecast to grow to $25 billion by 2025 and to $50 billion by 2029
InMed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: INM) is a global leader in the manufacturing and clinical development of rare cannabinoids. InMed is a clinical stage company developing cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drug candidates, as well as manufacturing technologies for pharmaceutical-grade rare cannabinoids. The company is dedicated to delivering new therapeutic alternatives to treat conditions with high unmet medical needs. The company is also developing a proprietary manufacturing technology to produce pharmaceutical-grade rare cannabinoids in the lab and has recently announced an LOI to acquire a leading rare cannabinoid manufacturer. Research and Technology There are more than 100 rare cannabinoids found in only trace amounts in the cannabis plant, together making up less than 1% of the plant’s biomass. InMed is initially focused on the therapeutic benefits of cannabinol (“CBN”) in diseases with high unmet medical need. Preclinical studies of CBN demonstrated an excellent safety profile and showed CBN has potential for therapeutic benefit over other cannabinoids such as tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) and cannabidiol (“CBD”). Evidence suggests there may be great therapeutic potential in rare cannabinoids. Each has a specific chemical structure, and different cannabinoids have been observed to have distinct physiological properties in humans, including therapeutic potential for specific diseases as well as unique safety profiles. CBN is the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) in InMed’s two lead programs for dermatological and ocular diseases. InMed’s most advanced compound, INM-755, is a CBN topical cream under clinical development for the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa, a severe genetic skin disorder. To date, INM-755 has been evaluated in two Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers. InMed has filed Clinical Trial Applications in several countries as part of a global Phase 2 clinical trial of INM-755 (cannabinol) cream in epidermolysis bullosa. Responses from the National Competent Authorities and Ethics Committees are expected throughout the summer of 2021. InMed is also involved in developing INM-088, an ocular CBN formulation being researched for the treatment of glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness in the developed world. InMed is currently evaluating several formulations to deliver CBN into the eye to address issues of dosing frequency, side effects and treatment penetration. INM-088 is being designed for topical delivery to the eye. This localized delivery results in very little drug being absorbed or migrating into the bloodstream, thus minimizing potential adverse side effects. INM-088 shows promise to reduce intraocular pressure and provide neuroprotection of the eye. Manufacturing The limited availability of rare cannabinoids like CBN makes them economically impractical to extract directly from the plant for pharmaceutical use. InMed is developing IntegraSyn, a cannabinoid synthesis manufacturing system to create rare cannabinoids in the lab that are bioidentical to the compounds derived from the cannabis plant. IntegraSyn uses multiple standard pharmaceutical processes and has achieved a cannabinoid yield of 5 grams per liter, surpassing commercial viability and significantly exceeding currently reported industry yields. InMed is now focusing on manufacturing scale-up to larger batch sizes while continuing process optimization, targeting increased cannabinoid yield and further reducing overall cost of goods. BayMedica Inc. Acquisition On June 29, 2021, InMed announced it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire BayMedica Inc., a private company based in Nevada and California that specializes in the manufacture and commercialization of rare cannabinoids. As noted in the news release, BayMedica is a revenue-stage biotechnology company leveraging its significant expertise in synthetic biology and pharmaceutical chemistry to develop efficient, scalable and proprietary manufacturing approaches to produce high quality, regulatory-compliant rare cannabinoids for consumer applications. BayMedica is currently commercializing the rare cannabinoid CBC (cannabichromene) as a B2B supplier to distributors and manufacturers marketing products in the health and wellness sector. BayMedica is planning additional rare cannabinoid launches for the coming year. Pursuant to the indicative terms of the LOI, InMed and BayMedica intend to negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement under which InMed would acquire 100% of BayMedica in exchange for 1.6 million InMed common shares to be issued to BayMedica’s equity and convertible debt holders, with any such issued InMed common shares being subject to a six-month contractual hold period. Market Outlook There is a rapidly growing demand for rare cannabinoids. However, their low natural concentration makes traditional harvesting of these compounds cost prohibitive. Biosynthesis allows production of rare cannabinoids in the lab that are bioidentical to compounds found in nature, with significantly higher yields which reduce costs. Biosynthesis can produce pharmaceutical-grade, bioidentical, THC-free compounds at a cost that’s 70 to 90 percent less than wholesale prices of naturally harvested rare cannabinoids. Cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals are expected to overtake the market as rare cannabinoids become less expensive and more available. According to Statista, the value of the consumer market for cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals in the United States is forecast to grow to $25 billion by 2025 and to $50 billion by 2029, with cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals used to treat health conditions including pain, respiratory conditions, autoimmune conditions and more. Management Team Eric A. Adams has been CEO and president of InMed since June 2016. He has more than 25 years of experience in establishing corporate entities, capital formation, global market development, mergers and acquisitions, licensing and corporate governance. He previously served as CEO at enGene Inc. Prior to enGene, he held senior positions in global market development with QLT Inc. (Vancouver), Advanced Tissue Sciences Inc. (La Jolla, CA), Abbott Laboratories (Chicago, IL) and Fresenius AG (Germany). Bruce S. Colwill is InMed’s CFO.

Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) Prepares to Launch 3D NFT Collectibles Market

  • Augmented reality market solutions developer Nextech AR Solutions is pioneering the use of three-dimensional holograms for video conferencing and product placement
  • Nextech expects to launch its platform for providing 3D versions of digital NFT collectibles during the current third quarter
  • The company is not only working to create 3D NFTs, it is in talks with existing marketplaces to use its acquired Threedy.AI 3D content creation technology to turn existing NFT artwork into AR NFTs at scale
  • The NFT market’s value tripled last year and rose an additional 1,785 percent during this year’s first quarter
The NFT marketplace has caught the imagination of consumers during the past year and a half, boosting the valuation of the digital collectibles in tandem with the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic as people have spent more time than ever online, workers have placed a new priority on personal passions and new startups have made buying and selling collectibles online easier than before (https://ibn.fm/TFp7L). As a result, the NFT market’s value tripled in 2020, achieving $250 million before 2021 kicked the trending digital assets into a new class of matrix with a 1,785 percent increase in market cap during Q1 (https://ibn.fm/1AiYQ). Augmented reality (“AR”) ecosystem innovator Nextech AR Solutions (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) is jumping into the deep end of the NFT pool with its three-dimensional product IP, which it hopes will send NFT excitement even higher as it creates a type of collectible digital asset new to the burgeoning marketplace. “This venture is an exciting step forward for Nextech and a big move for creators and consumers alike,” Dawsyn Borland, the company’s vice president of AR Innovation Labs and Content stated in Nextech’s July 26 press release (https://ibn.fm/JONVM). “AR experiences are extremely well positioned as NFTs, as they not only display digital content but allow buyers to interact with them. Our current technology stack is perfectly in line with the global adoption of NFTs and we are thrilled to meet this growing demand.” NFTs are trade-able digital economy products — virtual representations of artistic works that are in a sense owned electronically by consumers but not copyrighted, similar to a mass-produced baseball card or poster that gains collectible value according to its rarity, the presence of an autograph and other factors — ultimately determining its value simply by what someone is willing to spend on it in comparison with any similar products held by other collectors. Nextech’s experience with AR innovations includes work in projecting human holograms and commercial products to cell phones and other smart tech devices in the form of 3D visualizations. Nextech’s human hologram creator platform HoloX is expected to launch during the current third quarter, which will provide the ecosystem for seamless interaction with the digital collectibles in augmented reality (https://ibn.fm/5x6IE). The NFTs will initially be purchased through a third-party marketplace so they can be accessed outside a digital wallet using HoloX, but Nextech then aims to establish its own platform where the human hologram NFTs can be bought, sold and “minted,” which is the process of obtaining revenue from an NFT by turning the digital art into a part of the Ethereum blockchain as a public ledger. In the same way that the process of creating coins is called minting, the addition of NFTs to a blockchain to make the artwork tamper-proof and trade-able is known as minting (https://ibn.fm/BJ9Cu). Nextech is also working on agreements to turn existing NFT artwork into AR NFTs at scale for placement in existing marketplaces, thanks to 3D content creation capabilities the company gained through its recent acquisition of Threedy.AI. Nextech’s single integrated platform for creating and delivering thousands of 3D models per week will help increase the reach of the NFT market. The company expects to provide additional details about its NFT in August. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.NextechAR.com.

Before and After the Storm, Sustainable Green Team Ltd. (SGTM) Has It Covered

  • Upon acquiring Mulch Manufacturing last year, Sustainable Green Team was established as an integrated group of companies
  • SGTM has robust infrastructure designed to alleviate landfill burden from downed trees by processing them into mulch sold to government, residential, commercial clients
  • After posting $30.58 million in revenue in FY 2021, SGTM started Q1 on forward looking 12-month run rate of $37.16 million in revenue, $5.6 million in gross profit
How can a tree in a populous Tampa subdivision end up as decorative soft mulch outside a home in Iowa? Easier than one might think through the infrastructure of Sustainable Green Team (OTC: SGTM) and its portfolio of subsidiaries specialized in tree services, debris hauling, biomass recycling, and manufacture of next-generation mulch products as well as specialty cypress lumber. Sustainable Green Team’s vertically integrated operations include Central Florida Arborcare, National Storm Recovery LLC, and Mulch Manufacturing Inc., three brands that speak quite clearly to the corporate mission to reduce environmental impact through responsible handling of tree debris rather than burying it in already over-burdened landfills. Earlier this month, the miraculous wind power of hurricanes was once again on full display, as Hurricane Elsa, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2021, ripped through Barbados and all the way up the U.S.’s East Coast. A Category 1 hurricane, Elsa was just a toddler compared to a giant like Category 5 hurricane Katrina that flattened New Orleans in 2005, killing over 1,800 people and damaging an estimated 320 million large Gulf Coast trees (https://ibn.fm/FotZB). Regardless of a hurricane’s designation, clean-up can take months to complete. Nobody talks much about removal of all the trees and debris in the wake of a storm, but when they go to a landfill, the storm’s negative impact on the planet just gets amplified. That’s where the expertise of SGTM comes in. Through its subsidiaries and list of governmental, residential and commercial clients, the clean-up is efficient and green. From a mobile command center assessing the damage and plotting a clean-up strategy to truck and rail logistics to create and move feedstock to one of its six production facilities to its retail and wholesale end consumers, SGTM can handle it all. With distribution across the country, that downed tree in Florida will end up a productive part of the economy again—potentially around a prairie rose in Iowa. Sustainable Green Team under its current moniker and operations has only been around a little over one year.  After acquiring Mulch Manufacturing in February 2020 (https://ibn.fm/ZD1Xn), a rebranding transpired to better represent the direction of the integrated group of companies. To that end, 2021 got off to a promising start ahead of the start of its hurricane system. During the quarter ended January 31, 2021 (which caught the final month of the 2020 hurricane season), the company reported revenue of $4.55 million and a gross loss of $752,792. The quarterly gross loss was a bit of an outlier considering SGTM reported $30.58 million in revenue and $3.51 million in gross profit for the full year. In the first quarter, ended April 30, 2021, the numbers jumped to $9.29 million in revenue and $1.4 million in gross profit. On forward-looking basis, that would extrapolate to a run rate of $37.16 million in revenue and $5.6 million in gross profit over the full year.

American Cannabis Partners Poised for Expansion, Seeks Growth Opportunities as Reliable Business Partner

  • ACP’s strategy is based on leveraging opportunities in real estate and licensing in states that have recently passed legalization legislation
  • Focused on complementary business segments — real estate, acquisition and development of proprietary assets, and ongoing cultivation operations, ACP appears poised for expansion
  • Company seeks partnerships with companies with aligned personal, ethical, and business sensibilities to differentiate itself in assets, services, research, and philanthropy
American Cannabis Partners (“ACP”) is a licensed, large-scale, and 100% organic cultivation company supplying multiple forms of raw product at consistent wholesale prices for manufacturing, distribution, and retail licenses. The company is considering additional growth via numerous initiatives, including expansion opportunities through partnerships and joint ventures in New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Nevada, Arizona, Missouri, and Massachusetts (https://ibn.fm/7WK0A). American Cannabis Partners strives to operate the business in a way that positively impacts the environment, employees, customers, and partners alike. For example, as a high-paying grower, ACP takes its role in the local community very seriously. The company prides itself on its close personal and positive relationship with Jamaica and its people, one founded in profound awareness of needs and not just business numbers. The company is committed to taking a similar approach to building relationships with its partners, striving to build synergistic relationships and position itself as a reliable business ally. The experience of business partners working with ACP clearly reflects this commitment. In the words of Sam Deyton of Soilscape Solutions, a company helping rejuvenate soil fertility through sustainable soil practices, the experience of collaborating with ACP is exceptional. “Working with Stephen, Gary, and the rest of the team at American Cannabis Partners has been amazing. At Soilscape Solutions, we appreciate forming mutually beneficial relationships with our clients in the cultivation field, especially those whose core values align with our own. American Cannabis Partners brings integrity, professionalism, and small business values to the table in every way they conduct their business; it has been our pleasure to earn their business in return”, he said in a statement shared with the company. Link4 Corporation CEO Stephen Scherer, a company manufacturing software and environmental controls for growers, also praises the experience of collaborating with ACP. “Link4 Corporation is excited to be working with ACP in bringing environmental automation to all of their Greenhouse locations across the United States. It is always important for growers to not only monitor their grow environments closely but also have the ability to compare, track, and graph the data and relationships between different harvests. This is especially true when an MSO like American Cannabis Partners is working on strain development. We are pleased to hear that through ACP’s utilization of the Link4 Cloud, they feel they have everything they need to ensure their environment is operating within ideal parameters”, he described his collaboration with ACP in a testimonial recently shared with the company. Partnerships like these can produce exceptional results, and the words of American Cannabis Partners COO Gary Coltek, attest to this. “Having industry partners like Soilscapes and Link4 Systems have made it possible to replicate exact soil conditions, growing supplements, water makeup, and environments that mimic Orange Hill in Jamaica. The level of detail given to our plants have resulted in yields well above industry norms, and producing some of the most sought after flower in the US, especially our new patent-pending strains under the brand name ZUK where the entire crop has been pre-sold for 2021”, said Coltek. His views about the importance of strong business partnerships are shared by the company’s CEO Stephen Jordan. “Working with Soilscapes has provided us with an anomaly in the cannabis industry, consistent supply. One of the most difficult parts of the industry is locking down a supplier that provides various options tailored to a company’s needs. Soilscapes did that for ACP from nutrients, soil, greenhouse, and irrigation material”, he shared his experience of working with one of the company’s partners recently.
