BAND Royalty, an entertainment fintech company, is leveraging the power of these assets to revolutionize the way fans connect with celebrities and performers own their brands by enabling users to share in royalties whenever their favorite songs are performed. BAND is the first company to use NFTs based on music royalties and the creator of the first-ever Music Only NFT Marketplace.

• These aspects, enumerated by Deloitte China, include: digital, analytics, cloud, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance
• Two retail companies have selected IFBD’s solutions in less than a month
• The collaboration with Zu Li Jian has set up a new path for the digital transformation of retail companies

Evolving customer expectations and business needs have fueled a digital transformation in China, marked by the integration of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (“AI”) into companies’ operations. “To survive in this new world, businesses must learn to observe, think, and operate differently,” reads Deloitte China’s webpage about digital transformation (https://ibn.fm/nPTXa). “Digital transformation, the cross-disciplinary power comprising digital, analytics, cloud, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance, is about embracing digital disruption and unlocking exponential value.” Interestingly, Infobird Software (NASDAQ: IFBD), a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company offering AI-enabled end-to-end customer engagement solutions in China, has packaged the aspects of digital transformation mentioned above, i.e., cloud computing, analytics, cybersecurity, and digital, into its robust proprietary solutions and is using them to help companies around China adapt to the changing times and transform digitally.

• Lexaria Bioscience Corp. has disruptive proprietary technology protected by a broad international patent portfolio
• The company has been issued 19 patents in the U.S., European Union and other countries, with more than 50 patents pending around the world
• Lexaria’s DehydraTECH technology has a vast worldwide, multi-billion-dollar total addressable market, including multiple rapid-growth segments like cannabinoid and noncombustible nicotine delivery
• The company has licensed its fat-soluble active molecule delivery technology to multiple established companies for use in their products
• Lexaria completed an uplisting to Nasdaq Capital Markets and an $11 million financing in January 2021

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) (CSE: LXX) is a global innovator in drug delivery platforms. The company’s patented technology, DehydraTECH(TM), improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) enter the bloodstream by promoting healthier oral ingestion methods and increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble active molecules. DehydraTECH promotes fast-acting, less expensive and more effective oral drug delivery and has been thoroughly evaluated through in vivo, in vitro and human clinical testing. DehydraTECH is covered by 19 issued and more than 50 pending patents in over 40 countries around the world. Lexaria’s first patent was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in October 2016 (US 9,474,725 B1), providing 20 years of patent protection expiring June 2034. Multiple patents have been awarded since then and are expected in the future. Lexaria has a collaborative research agreement with the National Research Council (“NRC”), the Canadian government’s premier research and technology organization. The company has filed for patent protection for specific delivery of nicotine, vitamins, NSAIDs, testosterone, estrogen, cannabinoids, terpenes, PDE5 inhibitors (with brand names like Viagra), tobacco and more. Lexaria began developing DehydraTECH in 2014 and has since continued to strengthen and broaden the technology. The company has no plans to create or sell Lexaria-branded products containing controlled substances. Instead, Lexaria licenses its technology to other companies around the world to offer consumers the best possible performance across an array of ingestible product formats. The company’s technology is best thought of as an additional layer that providers of consumer supplements, prescription and non-prescription drugs, nicotine and CBD products can utilize to improve the effectiveness of their own existing or planned new offerings. Lexaria has licensed DehydraTECH to multiple companies, including a world-leading tobacco producer for the research and development of smokeless, oral-based nicotine products, and for use in industries that produce cannabinoid beverages, edibles and oral products. DehydraTECH is suitable for use with a wide range of product formats including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, consumer packaged goods and over-the-counter capsules, pills, tablets and oral suspensions. DehydraTECH Technology Lexaria’s DehydraTECH is designed specifically for formulating and delivering lipophilic (fat-soluble) drugs and active ingredients. DehydraTECH increases their effectiveness and improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients enter the bloodstream. The major benefits to a subject ingesting a DehydraTECH-enabled drug or consumer product can be summarized by the following:

• Speeds up delivery – the effects of the product are felt by the subject in just minutes
• Increases bioavailability – the technology is much more effective at delivering a drug or product into the bloodstream
• Increases brain absorption – animal testing suggests significant improvement in the quantity of drug delivered across the blood-brain barrier
• Improves drug potency – more of the ingested product is made available to the body, so lower doses are required to achieve the desired effect
• Reduces drug administration cost – lower doses mean lower overall drug costs
• Masks unwanted taste – the technology eliminates or reduces the need for sweeteners

Lexaria has demonstrated in animal studies a propensity for DehydraTECH technology to elevate the quantity of drug delivered across the blood-brain barrier by as much as 1,900 percent, initiating additional new patent applications and opening possibilities for improved drug delivery. Since 2016, DehydraTECH has repeatedly demonstrated, with cannabinoids and nicotine, the ability to increase bio-absorption by up to five to 10 times, reduce time of onset from one to two hours to just minutes, and mask unwanted tastes. The technology is to be further evaluated for additional orally administered bioactive molecules, including antivirals, cannabinoids, vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and nicotine. Market Outlook Lexaria’s ongoing research and development efforts are mainly focused on development of product candidates across several key segments:

• Oral Cannabinoids – a market estimated to be worth $18.4 billion in 2021 and expected to reach $46.2 billion by 2025.
• Antivirals – an estimated $52.1 billion market in 2021 that’s expected to grow to $66.7 billion by 2025.
• Oral Mucosal Nicotine – smokeless tobacco products, a $13.6 billion market in 2018, is forecast to grow at 7.2 percent annually through 2025.
• Human Hormones – estrogen and testosterone replacement therapies represented a $21.9 billion market in 2019, with a forecast CAGR of 7.7 percent through 2027.
• Ibuprofen and Naproxen – NSAID sales totaled $15.6 billion globally in 2019 and are projected to reach $24.4 billion by 2027.
• Vitamin D3 – the global market size was $1.1 billion in 2021, growing at 7 percent per year and expected to reach $1.7 billion in 2026.

This followed the announcement that it would now be offering its new European Union (“E.U.”) compliant products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Probulin Probiotics, LLC, via Boots Ireland (https://ibn.fm/iLge8). This entry into the Irish market marks a crucial step in HempFusion Wellness’ ambitious plan to venture into the European market, specifically Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Europe. The move began back in January of 2021 when the initial distribution deal for Ireland was signed, a deal that would see Boots Ireland stock HempFusion’s products in close to 50% of stores in the country. Boots Ireland is a household name in the Irish market. With a history that dates back to 1849, it has become a well-known brand and an integral part of the community (https://ibn.fm/dmABs). The company also serves as part of the Retail Pharmacy International Division of one of the world’s largest purchasers of prescription medication and other health and well-being products.

Labs (https://ibn.fm/o35te). Currently, the company’s primary market is the United States, where its products are carried in approximately 4,000 retailers in all 50 states.

• Oregon recreational marijuana companies are experiencing the best market conditions in years
• Chalice’s acquisition of Homegrown dispensaries expands company’s retail stores in Oregon from 7 to 12
• CEO says company has ability to significantly increase vertical margin revenue

Business is booming for cannabis companies in Oregon, with a recent Oregon Liquor Control Commission (“OLCC”) study reporting that cannabis production has increased 78% since 2019, while the amount of cannabis sold has skyrocketed by 150% (https://ibn.fm/ta34e). That is welcome news to Chalice Brands (CSE: CHAL) (OTCQB: CHALF), as the company recently announced an acquisition that brought a chain of five Oregon-based retail dispensaries under the Chalice umbrella (https://ibn.fm/1TBUf). “Oregon recreational marijuana companies are experiencing the best market conditions in years, with demand far outpacing supply because of the COVID-19 pandemic and more consumers forgoing the illicit market in favor of legal retailers,” reported a recent MJBizDaily article (https://ibn.fm/K2aYV). The report also noted another key point from the OLCC report: The amount of cannabis harvested in 2020 increased by 37% versus 2019, and the OLCC could issue up to 100 more producer licenses by April. Oregon is the third-largest cannabis market in per capita consumption in the country, reporting $275 annual cannabis spend per capita (https://ibn.fm/xcNBy). The state boasts 16.5 dispensaries per 100,000 residents, offers a stable cultivation and supply chain, and has an optimal climate for growing best-in-class cannabis. Chalice’s acquisition of the Homegrown dispensaries, previously owned by SMS Ventures LLC and located in Portland, Salem and Albany, expands the company’s retail stores from 7 to 12 locations in the state of Oregon. “We have been diligently searching for the appropriate footprint expansion for our retail business in Oregon that represented the right fit and to be in a position to fund the acquisition,” said Chalice Brands president and CEO Jeff Yapp. “Homegrown’s culture aligns perfectly within ours and provides an exceptional geographic compatibility with Chalice and offers an expansion into parts of Oregon in which Chalice does not operate currently. “We have the ability to significantly increase vertical margin revenue through the distribution of our existing edibles and extraction manufacturing as well as our own grow,” Yapp continued. “Homegrown is a well-run retail operation with a very dedicated team at all five stores that we will continue to rely on as we go forward.” Chalice Brands is a premier consumer-driven cannabis company specializing in production, processing, wholesale, distribution and retail, with seven dispensaries in Portland, Oregon. The Company is committed to developing a dynamic portfolio built around the recognized brands of Chalice Farms, with a focus on health and wellness.

• Canadian lawmakers are scheduled to assemble during Q4 to assess past, current, future state of legal cannabis market
• Pac Roots Cannabis has quietly positioned itself as an integrated producer of premium cannabis and hemp
• Pac Roots is generating revenue through a hemp JV, has access to exclusive cultivars, is completing a production facility, has an agreement for more land and recently bought an established cannabis lifestyle brand

The Canadian government has taken a measured approach to legalization of marijuana, but now nearly three years in, advocates will be looking at meaningful progress with regards to regulations to support the industry when a review is expected later this year. As the market has been maturing, Vancouver-based Pac Roots Cannabis (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF) (FSE: 4XM) has been steadily building a formidable asset base, including constructing a new production facility, forging a key joint venture and penning an agreement to acquire prime agricultural land as it emerges as a premium provider of cannabis and hemp products with its genetics-focused approach. While the legal cannabis market didn’t get off to the blistering pace some analysts envisioned, it has grown quite briskly and there are signs that the market has reached an inflection point. Deal flow is strong, including Quebec-based Hexo (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE: HEXO) recently agreeing to pay C$925 million for family-owned Redecan, the biggest private Canadian cannabis company by revenue. On June 3, High Tide (NASDAQ: HITI) (TSX.V: HITI) became the first major cannabis retailer to go public on the NASDAQ. Furthermore, the sales scale finally seems to be balancing. In September, it was reported that legal sales in Canada finally exceeded black market marijuana sales for the first time. To help tip the scales in favor of legal sales, Ottawa will need to make some changes – or at least be open to discussions – when it conducts a three-year review. It’s arguable that highly restrictive marketing, production, sales and consumption rules have hamstrung consumer adoption. Pac Roots isn’t looking to get into a pricing war with low-quality suppliers, methodically positioning itself as a premier brand since it came public last year. The company has partnered with Phenome One, one of the largest live genetic libraries in Canada composed of over 350 live cultivars and formed a JV with Rock Creek Farms and Speakeasy Cannabis Club leveraging existing infrastructure, equipment and access to land on a 100-acre hemp project. Despite the coronavirus pandemic and some unseasonable weather conditions, the initial pilot run from the JV resulted in the profitable sale of 105,000 pounds of industrial hemp. The company is wrapping up work on a 20,000-square foot facility in Lake Country, British Columbia. The facility will include about 7,600 square feet of cultivation space supported by a cultivation license expected to be in hand by the fourth quarter of 2021. The plan is to start cycling through the Phenome One cultivars once the license is received. Elsewhere in B.C., Pac Roots completed an agreement to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of a firm holding 250 acres of land in the Fraser Valley Region, a region famous for its fertile soil and agriculture heritage. The company also recently completed the acquisition of Lords of Grasstown Holdings Ltd., a well-established Cannabis Motorcycle lifestyle brand with a tremendous following and acumen that spawned from the vision of Tyler Hazelwood, founder and director of Lords of Gastown. The popularity of the brand on the West Coast affords Pac Roots an easy entry into vaunted California markets. Interestingly enough, political posturing between Republicans and Democrats about the southern border has illicit drug trafficking in California back in the spotlight, including a massive bust June 8 of over $50 million in marijuana and subsequent bulldozing of 10+ acres of illegal greenhouses that were stealing water for their growing needs. Like Canada, recreational marijuana was made legal in California in 2018. Three years into legalization, both markets are much better understood, as are the tens of billions of dollars legal cannabis contributes to economies. With politicians starting to look ahead to elections in both the U.S. and Canada, it sure will be interesting to see what sort of changes in cannabis just may make it to the campaign trail.
