• Tryp Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical company focused on establishing new drug candidates that will provide effective alternatives to established treatments for responding to medical conditions with largely unmet needs
• The company is preparing to launch a clinical trial with a 25mg synthetic psychedelic drug candidate, TRP-8802, to determine its efficacy and safety in treating select eating disorders in combination with psychotherapy
• Tryp recently announced that its educational partner, Fluence, has completed training of the psychotherapists who will be involved in administering the drug candidate to help establish minimal variability in the data outcomes and grant the patients the best possible experience
• Investment banking services provider, Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., announced on Aug. 26 that it has initiated coverage on Tryp with a “buy” rating

Tryp Therapeutics (CSE: TRYP) (OTCQB: TRYPF) is approaching the launch of its phase 2a clinical trial that will use synthetic psilocybin (a psychedelic drug derived from certain mushrooms) in combination with psychotherapy for a select class of overeating disorders. Tryp has continued to execute on its mission to develop successful treatments with increased efficacy for medical conditions with high unmet needs. The phase 2a trial, to be conducted at the University of Florida (“UF”), will determine safety and efficacy of psilocybin on hyperphagia — a condition in which the patients never feel full, so they are continually wanting to eat. “The research we’re actually going to be doing at the University of Florida with psilocybin is focusing on a little bit more intense problems than just eating disorders,” said pediatric eating disorders expert Dr. Jennifer Miller, who will be the trial’s principal investigator, during an interview with The Dales Report in May (https://ibn.fm/XDAVY). “Ultimately, of course, we hope it will help people with overall eating disorders, but first we’re going to focus on people with specific neurologic causes of those eating disorders … for treatment of a select chronic eating disorder called Prader-Willi Syndrome (‘PWS’).” The hyperphagia trial will also target hypothalamic obesity eating disorder — the result of the removal of a brain tumor — and binge eating disorder. TRP-8802, an off-the-shelf synthetic psilocybin active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) will aim to shake up the clinical thinking on how to deal with such neurological conditions and prepare Tryp for further studies using their novel, trademarked drug candidate, TRP-8803. “All of the currently available approved obesity and eating disorder medications are daily medications: you stop taking them, you stop having the efficacy,” Miller said. “Our hope is with psilocybin, … (that) once- or twice-a-year treatments will allow these neural networks to rewire themselves and provide a more chronic treatment, which doesn’t exist right now. … None of the currently available treatments or even past available treatments touch their appetite and fullness.” On Aug. 24, Tryp announced that psychedelic therapy educational platform partner Fluence, has completed the training of the psychotherapists who will be involved in the phase 2a trial by assisting and overseeing dosing sessions of the psychedelics (https://ibn.fm/eCpNN). “Psychotherapy is an integral part of Tryp’s novel treatment methods to create the proper mindset for the neuroplasticity benefits of psilocybin to take full effect,” the news release states. “Participants will undergo preparatory psychotherapy sessions with trained therapists leading to two dosing sessions in the upcoming phase 2a clinical trial for eating disorders. … Following the administration of the drug, patients will also benefit from multiple integration sessions with the therapists.” To ensure the scientific viability of the trials, it is important to establish definitive guidelines and training to minimize variability and grant the patients the best possible experience. The training will also be adapted to subsequent clinical trials, such as using Tryp’s API to treat fibromyalgia and other chronic pain indications. Tryp’s efforts have caught the attention of investment banking and capital markets products and services provider Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., which serves investors who are specifically focused on health care and life sciences companies. Ladenburg Thalmann announced on Aug. 26 that it had initiated coverage on Tryp with a buy rating (https://ibn.fm/9aFSD). In its research note, Ladenburg noted that psychedelics have recently outperformed approved prescription treatments for major depressive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder, leading to the advisement that psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy may provide an appropriate response for helping people with eating disorders “benefit from a disconnect of the brain’s neural connections, allowing for new connections and behaviors distinct from current memories and feelings.” For more information on Tryp Therapeutics, visit the company’s website at www.TrypTherapeutics.com.

• All these achievements are positioning AmpliTech as the key infrastructure provider that supports 5G, satellite and other radio frequency communications infrastructure globally

On August 16, 2021, AmpliTech Group (NASDAQ: AMPG) announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2021 along with the first six months of the 2021 fiscal year (“Q2’21 and 6M’21”). Additionally, the company reviewed its growth outlook, its strides thus far, and some of the key milestones it achieved in the first half of 2021 (https://ibn.fm/7BCnP). Most notably, the company posted a 55% Q2’21 revenue growth compared to Q2’20. Total revenue stood at $1,024,410, up from $660,669 during the same period in 2020. This also represented a 117% growth from Q1’21. AmpliTech also reported that its order backlog as of the date of the announcement was $2.45 million, all in contractual hardware and engineering services, anticipated for delivery over the next three to six months, as opposed to $2.4 million at the close of Q1’21 (https://ibn.fm/7BCnP). The first six months of 2021 were significant for AmpliTech. For starters, the company completed its financial recapitalization and Nasdaq up-listing. This move allowed it to raise working capital of $29.8 million as of June 30 (https://ibn.fm/588HQ). This capital would go into product development, sales and marketing infrastructure investments while also offering the financial strength needed to engage with global customer prospects that were previously out of the company’s reach. As of the close of the first half of the year, the company had paid $1 million in debt and secured $0.2 million in SBA loan forgiveness. AmpliTech also reported having purchased $0.4 million worth of scientific equipment that was meant to enhance product development and testing (https://ibn.fm/7BCnP). It also made a significant strategic investment in its secure LNA chip development joint venture partner SN2N. AmpliTech is an enterprise that designs, develops and manufactures customer radio frequency (“RF”) components for the commercial, SATCOM, space and military markets. Its product line ranges from new offerings for the 5G/6G wireless ecosystem and infrastructure, along with quantum computing supporting the United States’ efforts to reach the coveted position of quantum supremacy. Since it was founded back in 2002, AmpliTech has remained committed to research and development (“R&D”), allowing it to remain at the forefront of emerging technologies globally. So far, 2021 has been a great year for AmpliTech, and its management is confident that the trajectory will carry on for the remainder of the year. While making the announcement, Fawad Maqbool, the president, CTO and CEO of AmpliTech, noted: “Our Q2 results reflect initial benefits of our significantly enhanced position and the gradual return of customer prospects to more normal planning and procurement activity for projects where our low noise amplifier solutions can deliver game-changing performance and ROI.” He further added: “Importantly, our financial recapitalization is allowing AmpliTech to engage for the first time with a range of very large customer prospects that were previously out of our reach (https://ibn.fm/7BCnP).” AmpliTech has attributed the impressive 6M’21 performance on expanding sales force efforts and the growing demand for its low noise signal amplifiers. It hopes to further capitalize on this to achieve even faster and additional growth as time progresses. “We are making strategic investments in product development, sales and marketing, and personnel and infrastructure to better position AmpliTech for hyper-growth opportunities we see across several markets, including satellite communications, the build out of true 5G infrastructure, quantum computing and space exploration,” noted Mr. Maqbool (https://ibn.fm/588HQ). The company projects that there will be an unprecedented growth in the demand for wireless connectivity given the proliferation of smart devices, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles and content streaming in the next several years. Its investments so far position it to take advantage of this growth and assert its position as a key infrastructure provider to support 5G, satellite and other radio frequency communications infrastructure.

• FuelPositive’s patent-pending first-of-its-kind system features an entirely non-polluting process of ammonia (“NH3”) production, using 30% less energy than traditional methods
• Carbon-free NH3 contains 65% more hydrogen than highly compressed hydrogen and addresses challenges associated with storing and distributing hydrogen
• Through its proprietary system, which stores hydrogen in carbon-free ammonia, the company is making possible the green hydrogen economy, with hydrogen able to be efficiently used for energy storage, long-distance transportation of energy, as fuel for internal combustion engine vehicles, and for other applications

We’ve all heard about the hydrogen economy. So why isn’t it happening? In 2019, the transportation sector generated 29% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, the highest of the main economic sectors (https://ibn.fm/Jy6VS). According to 2020 statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), gasoline accounted for 56% of the country’s transportation energy use, while diesel was responsible for 24%. In total, petroleum products accounted for a whopping 90% of the energy use (https://ibn.fm/7h2gQ), demonstrating the heavy reliance on these fossil fuels despite the growing availability of electric vehicles and all the talk about the hydrogen economy. The hydrogen economy envisions a future where carbon-free hydrogen is used for energy storage, long-distance transportation of energy, and as fuel for vehicles and heat generation. With the heightened consciousness around emissions spearheaded by governments setting net-zero greenhouse emission targets, carbon-free “green” hydrogen is emerging as a key piece of the zero-emissions puzzle. As a fuel, hydrogen has no rival — it burns cleanly and produces more power per unit of weight than gasoline or diesel or even lithium-ion batteries. But moving to the hydrogen economy is not as simple as it sounds. There are practical problems that have so far prevented its implementation. FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), a company committed to clean energy solutions, is making the green hydrogen economy possible through its proprietary carbon-free ammonia (“NH3”) system. While hydrogen is an ideal energy carrier that can help address numerous energy issues, its use faces several hurdles. Firstly, blue and grey hydrogen production (the only kind today) using the traditional methods is energy intensive and almost entirely relies on fossil fuels. According to the International Energy Agency (“IAE”), about 6% of natural gas and 2% of coal produced globally go into hydrogen production. As a result, it is responsible for about 830 million tons of CO2 emissions per year (https://ibn.fm/NurmL). That is not acceptable since the purpose behind the hydrogen economy is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Even when sustainable electricity is used to produce green hydrogen, it is an extremely energy intensive process. Secondly, once produced, hydrogen is extremely volatile. Being lighter than air and even gasoline vapor, hydrogen rapidly rises and disperses upon escaping. This property is compounded by the fact that hydrogen is highly flammable and requires the lowest ignition energy of any fuel (https://ibn.fm/MbHUo), making it a risk for explosions. This, therefore, necessitates an expensive and safe storage in pressurized containers, which unfortunately presents another problem. As a gas, hydrogen must be compressed to extreme pressures to be adequate for transportation use and as a liquid, it boils off at standard temperatures (e.g., a hypothetical car with a full liquid hydrogen tank sitting in your garage on Friday would have an empty tank on Monday due to room-temperature boil-off). What about distribution? Hydrogen is known to embrittle steel pipes, necessitating more expensive, specially engineered pipelines to prevent hydrogen from escaping. Hydrogen is the smallest element on the periodic table. It’s so small it can even work its way in between the crystalline structure of metals, making them brittle and susceptible to cracking and failure. But hydrogen can be transported in chemical carriers, including liquid inorganic carriers such as ammonia. This is where FuelPositive’s carbon-free NH3 comes in. NHHHF’s patent-pending first-of-its-kind system enables the company to produce NH3 without relying on hydrocarbons in a dramatically less expensive process. The system also requires 30% less energy than conventional NH3 production methods. What’s more, carbon-free ammonia, which is made up of about 17.8% hydrogen by weight, also contains a higher volumetric hydrogen density/content than both liquid and compressed hydrogen. FuelPositive puts the figure at 65% more hydrogen than highly compressed hydrogen (https://ibn.fm/Hm4Pc). A 2020 review titled “Ammonia as effective hydrogen storage” observes that the content is 187% higher when liquid ammonia is used (https://ibn.fm/benoS). With storage and distribution infrastructure already in place, NH3 can be transported in tanker trucks, through pipelines and on ships. At the same time, FuelPositive’s in-situ carbon-free NH3 modular production systems can be installed with the end users, reducing the reliance on these unnecessary forms of ammonia distribution. “So, think of ammonia as the perfect carrier of hydrogen, and if the end-user requirement is pure hydrogen, then the safest and most practical way to get that hydrogen where it needs to be is through FuelPositive carbon-free ammonia,” the company concludes.

The e-commerce platform is the main driver of growth. By offering the widest possible array of plant-based products, PlantX is positioned to be the online destination for all plant-based needs and desires,” says PlantX CEO Lorne Rapkin. PlantX recently announced the launch of its redesigned Canadian website, powered by Shopify (https://ibn.fm/mvXl0). You can access the website at www.PlantX.ca. “The company’s redesigned Canadian website was developed to better represent the company’s brand strategy, promote community engagement, improve customer satisfaction, and increase business reach,” explains the press release. The website now features a refreshed and modern design, simplified navigation, and improved search tools and functionality to enhance the overall user experience and brand impact. At the same time, it still offers access to PlantX’s informative resources, namely its podcast series and blog articles. Aiming to maximize the impact of the new platform, PlantX has also engaged UI/UX specialists to improve the website’s performance through better navigation speed and optimized conversion rates. The company intends to launch a new United States website on the Shopify platform later this year. Through its e-commerce platform, the company can actualize its plans to expand globally, to Australia, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. By leveraging the Shopify embedded features, the company will be able to easily clone its current Canadian model and launch additional websites in other countries with a click of a button. When launching in a new country, the company will be able to simply duplicate the PlantX theme and website features on Shopify, and then use the cloned platform to add products relevant to the country of interest. The automation of the company’s e-commerce expansion activity will increase its business effectiveness and allow PlantX to focus its efforts on curating the best plant-based products and educational resources for its customers, therefore boosting community engagement and satisfaction. “The decision to transition to Shopify as the main e-commerce platform to host the PlantX online presence is a strategic move that complements the company’s mission and expansion plans,” said PlantX Founder Sean Dollinger. “By leveraging the Shopify embedded features, PlantX will be able to replicate its current Canadian model and launch additional websites in other countries.” PlantX is a one-stop shop for all things plant-based. It offers consumers an efficient e-commerce experience, interactive brick-and-mortar stores, and a home delivery system for products, recipes, meals, and more.

• Avricore seeks to build the world’s largest network of diagnostic centres in pharmacy.
• Through its flagship platform, HealthTab(TM), the company is simplifying patients’ lives through easy access to point-of-care testing
• Through innovation, technology and partnering with key players in the industry, Avricore is allowing easy access to critical health information for patients and doing so in a convenient way for them. This, it believes, is the future of healthcare

Avricore Health (TSX.V: AVCR) (OTCQB: AVCRF) is a pharmacy service innovator committed to acquiring and developing early-stage technologies that seek to grow and push pharmacy forward. Since its inception, this Vancouver-based enterprise has stayed true to its mission to become the world’s largest health data company. This is evidenced by its move to innovate and leverage specific point-of-care technologies within its community of pharmacies. Avricore’s flagship platform, HealthTab(TM), impacts the healthcare sector mainly by simplifying patients’ lives with easy access to point-of-care testing. With HealthTab, Avricore can offer pharmacies complete turnkey and point-of-care rapid testing systems covering both software and hardware (https://ibn.fm/GN0Tk). Consequently, customers can quickly and conveniently check for markets associated with conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or any other conditions, with a simple finger-prick blood test and under the guidance of a pharmacist. “HealthTab is a way for anybody to get access to important health information in a way that’s convenient for them, and at a time that’s convenient for them,” noted Rodger Seccombe, the Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) at Avricore (https://ibn.fm/fo4Sk). It is one thing to have the technology and expertise to test patients quickly, but it is a whole other thing to get it to the intended patients. This is why Avricore has resorted to partnerships in a decentralization move that facilitates its growth and makes its technology and services accessible to as many people as possible. So far in 2021, Avricore has secured a distribution agreement with Abbott Canada, the first of its type for a health-data company. Avricore also entered into a master agreement with Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada, giving its service access to over 1,300 stores, a move that so far is proving successful. With the point-of-care diagnostics market projected to grow to $50.6 billion by 2025, Avricore is positioning itself to grow with it and arguably become a leader in the industry (https://ibn.fm/ySU2M). Currently, Avricore earns its revenue from data collection, equipment leasing, API integration, the sale of consumables associated with testing, along with screening tests. As time progresses, and with the investments and partnerships it is forging along the way, the company looks forward to forming an in-pharmacy network. This would allow it to secure steady revenues and collect real-world data that would enable researchers to quickly and efficiently examine health data trends, eventually transforming that into another source of income. The COVID-19 pandemic presented a massive growth for Avricore’s market opportunity. For starters, the public learned the positive impacts of early detection and rapid testing. Avricore’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Hector Bremner, acknowledged this opportunity, even citing rapid testing and early detection as “The future of pharmacy (https://ibn.fm/DJtmQ).” With different companies also recognizing this opportunity, Avricore has managed to stay one step ahead by bringing its services closer to the people with its pharmacies. “Yes, you need good instruments, but you need a whole system around that instrument,” noted Seccombe. “That’s where we’ve come in and developed a real out-of-box solution that works for pharmacies (https://ibn.fm/DJtmQ).” All the milestones achieved by Avricore throughout 2021, including the Ellerca Health Partnership, HealthTab rollout and the Shoppers Drug Mart agreement, among others, are representative of an enterprise that is constantly pushing the envelope in the healthcare sector. Avricore is staying true to its mission, and because of this, it is defining the future of healthcare. To learn more about the company, please visit www.AvricoreHealth.com.

• Preliminary testing indicates that water produced using HyGrO’s patent-pending technology could increase shelf life of cut flowers
• The HyFrontier team is partnering with a commercial-scale flower producer to evaluate effects of HyGrO technology on larger list of flower varieties
• Positive study results will assist the company as it rolls out new technology

After reporting the successful results of preliminary testing, Golden Triangle Ventures (OTC: GTVH) is looking forward to pursuing larger-scale studies of its proprietary HyGrO hydrogen water technology. The company will work with commercial-scale flower products to further evaluate the efficacy of GTVH’s new process. “There are no words to properly express my shock and excitement at these results,” said Robert “Bo” DuBose, CEO of HyFrontier Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Golden Triangle Ventures. “The idea came from HyFrontier’s VP of sales and support, Martin Lorenz, who is an experienced master grower and connected within the ornamental flower agricultural sector. I would like to extend a special thanks to the owners of Campbell’s Flowers — Zach and Travis — for obliging Martin by running this test through their facility.” The test was designed to evaluate whether hydrogen-infused water via HyFrontier Technologies HyGrO system would increase the longevity of cut flowers (https://ibn.fm/KaXun). To conduct the study, Halcyon Hemp conducted a simple preliminary study of the effects of HyGrO water on the longevity of cut flowers. Two vases were filled, one with regular tap water and one with HyGrO water. The water was never changed, and pictures were taken to document the results. The preliminary study lasted 21 days, and the flowers used in this study were stock roses, carnations and gladiolas, provided by Campbell’s Flowers, one of the most reputable floral outlets in Colorado. From the results, photos and observations made in this study, the company concluded that water produced using HyGrO’s patent-pending technology could increase the shelf life of cut flowers, reduce the bloom rate and potentially reduce waste in the floral industry. Plans are already underway to confirm the results through a larger study. The HyFrontier team is partnering with a commercial-scale professional flower producer to continue to evaluate the effects of HyGrO technology on a larger list of flower varieties. The company hopes to see the same results, prove a predictable outcome, and further validate the technology, which will assist the company as it rolls out the new technology. “The pictures and comments we received absolutely speak for themselves, and this represents an entirely new avenue for HyGrO,” observed DuBose. “Following this test, Martin further engaged with the largest distributor of cut flowers in Colorado, and we are now testing close to 100 ornamental sets, in which we plan to prove the benefits of HyGrO and obtain a true standardized outcome on each flower variety. “Additionally, moving forward, we will be testing essentially every type of cut plant that is watered in the produce department at grocery stores,” he continued. “Our entire team is elated for the possibility to see other key ways we can help provide higher yields and improve shelf life at the retailer so customers can enjoy fresher and longer-lasting flowers at home.” Golden Triangle Ventures is a multifaceted consulting company with many projects being developed that provide synergistic values in the health, entertainment and technology industries. The company aims to purchase, acquire and/or joint-venture with established entities that management can help assist and develop into unique opportunities. Additionally, GTV provides a professional corporate representation service to different companies in these sectors while consulting on a variety of business-development objectives. The goods and services represented are driven by innovators who have passion and commitment to these marketplaces.

• Organic operating model has resulted in increasing the triple bottom line, positively impacting people, the planet, and profits
• American Cannabis Partners remains debt-free by purchasing all land and equipment in full, only seeking out real estate that is in cannabis-friendly states with high demand, agricultural zoning, and available licensing
• American Cannabis Partners’ new patent pending strains will be sold exclusively through its wholly owned in house brand ZUK at the Company’s retail locations in Michigan and select California suppliers

American Cannabis Partners (“‘ACP”), a multi-state 100% organic cannabis cultivation company, is committed to improving the lives of individuals through cannabis and business. Sustainable operating practices have been put into place that both reduce their environmental footprint and increase social responsibility. The Company’s organic operating model has resulted in increasing the “triple bottom line,” positively impacting “people, the planet, and profits” according to American Cannabis Partners COO Gary Coltek. With a focus on people — American Cannabis Partners is committed to maintaining a personal and positive relationship with Jamaica and its people. The Company is a high-paying grower who believes strongly in remaining aware of the profound needs of the people it works with and not just the business numbers. For American Cannabis Partners, people come before profit. With a focus on the planet — American Cannabis Partners only uses 100% organic materials in the soil and nutrients. A comprehensive approach is used to maximize impact by using environment-friendly products, increasing energy and water conservation efforts, and implementing a comprehensive waste management program. A partnership with Soilscape Solutions made it possible to rejuvenate soil fertility through sustainable soil practices while also helping to mimic the exact soil conditions found in Orange Hill, Jamaica. Still, there is always a need to focus on profit. However, this only comes after the commitment to both the people and the planet. The Company focuses on three complementary business segments to increase profits: real estate, acquisition and development of proprietary assets, and ongoing cultivation operations. To remain debt-free, tangible, and liquid available, all land and equipment is purchased in full. Once purchased, cost-effective measures are taken to increase the market value of the property. Real estate is only sought in cannabis-friendly states with cannabis population demand, agricultural zoning, and available licensing. In August of 2021, the Company trademarked ZUK, its wholly owned in-house brand. American Cannabis Partners’ new patent pending strains will be sold exclusively through ZUK at the Company’s retail locations in Michigan and select California suppliers. These strains produced yields far above industry norms and are highly sought after. They were cultivated in a greenhouse that mimicked the exact soil conditions, growing supplements, water makeup, and environment of Orange Hill in Jamaica. Through ZUK and strategic partnerships that make it possible to fine-tune the plant’s soil and environment, American Cannabis Partners has brought a sustainable Jamaican cannabis experience to the U.S. market.

• Cannabis company founded by veterans vows to meet highest of standards
• Veteran HempCo was founded with mission to provide quality, American-made, wholesale CBD products to health, wellness and beauty businesses
• Company has access to some of the best hemp flower in the country

As the cannabis industry grows and an increasing number of companies rush to enter the space, Hero Technologies (OTC: HENC) and its wholly owned subsidiary Veteran HempCo vow to hold themselves and their products to the highest of standards (https://ibn.fm/oXbDK). The subsidiary offers another unique aspect to cannabis company ownership: the company was founded by veterans. Initially, this group of entrepreneurial veterans found a nook in the American cannabis industry on the security side of things. They started, grew and then sold several cannabis security companies before deciding that they wanted to focus their talents and hard-earned knowledge of cannabis businesses into a far more product-focused role. “We began offering our sales, marketing and business development consulting to burgeoning cannabis industries to enable our clients to expand their platform and sell more product,” the company’s story states (https://ibn.fm/GHtHD). “Eventually, we decided that our passion for improving the standard and accessibility of cannabis products needed a more direct approach. ​And so we founded Veteran Hemp Company.” One of the challenges in the growing space is quality of product. Company leaders noted that CBD products offered today are poorly regulated, creating a situation in which finding high-quality CBD consistently can be a challenge. Until now, say the Veteran HempCo founders. “Veteran HempCo was founded with the mission to provide quality, American-made, wholesale CBD products to health, wellness and beauty businesses across the nation,” company founders note. “With our CBD products all going through proper laboratory testing, you can rest assured that everything we securely deliver to you will be the absolute best you’ll find.” The company regularly submits its hemp and CBD products to independent laboratories to ensure that anything it sells to customers is nothing short of the best. “Having served in the United States military, we’ve been instilled with honor and integrity as a way of life. As small business owners, we carry these values with us into everything we do. We believe in honesty and transparency,” states the company, which provides its lab testing results to anyone who wants to verify the quality of Veteran HempCo products. “Our testing procedures are consistent with industry best practices,” the company continues. “We are here to set the gold standard for American CBD. We are here to serve you, our customer, and work ceaselessly to do so. We’re here to change the status quo of how CBD is produced and sold, and we’re eager for you to be part of it.” Veteran HempCo carries some of the best CBD on the market in a variety of packaging options ideal for hemp flower, or the smokable form of hemp. The company offers the cola, or top of the plant, which contains the highest concentration of cannabinoids along with the best terpene, or flavor. “Veteran HempCo has access to some of the best hemp flower in the country,” states the company. “With custom harvest plans, drying facilities and all the logistics in between, we’re able to handpick top flowers for our retail partners.” Veteran HempCo’s parent company, Hero Technologies, is working toward a vertically integrated business model. The company’s strategic business plan includes cannabis genetic engineering, space for both medical and recreational cannabis cultivation, production licenses, distribution licenses, consumer packaging, and retail and dispensary operations that make the company a multistate operator.
