Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (GRYN) Offers Ideal Source for Long-term Clinical Research Studies

  • Company owns largest single USDA-certified, organic hemp for CBD farm in North America with 824 acres, 400,000 square feet of greenhouse space
  • GRYN registered with U.S. Food and Drug Administration in August last year
  • Company has capacity to deliver large volume supply chain of premium quality product while remaining compliant for research or regulatory approvals
With a goal of being the leader in both compliance and capabilities in the hemp and cannabinoid supply market, California-based, innovative, technology-driven company Green Hygienics (OTCQB: GRYN) is committed to offering the highest-quality and safest products available. GRYN owns and operates the largest single USDA-certified, organic-hemp farm in North America. The farm property has 824 acres of outdoor cultivation potential and 400,000 square feet of greenhouse space, which supports the Company in this capacity. In order to participate in long-term clinical research studies, companies must source their materials from the same company over the entire period of the study. This is critically important as it adds credibility and validity to the study results because it maintains consistency and eliminates variables. When entering into a cooperative research study, it is essential that the Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) take into account the facilities and capabilities of the source (https://ibn.fm/YQq1X). Throughout the entire study, suppliers are expected to show that they can consistently manufacture a quality product and submit sufficient information to ensure the identity, quality, purity, and potency or strength of the investigational drug. A supply needs to be obtained from a business that has adequate facilities and capabilities, with every variable accounted for and controlled from beginning to end. The supplier must remain in compliance throughout the study while also being capable of meeting demand. In April of last year, GRYN received its USDA Organic Certification (https://ibn.fm/W5oEp). In August, GRYN registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (https://ibn.fm/hkQQP). These strategic moves strengthened the Company’s ability to provide product efficacy to both the pharmaceutical and consumer industries. With foundational accreditations in place, and additional industry first certifications on the horizon, the Company offers research solutions that few others in the industry are capable of. Additionally, Green Hygienics offers a secure, single-origin supply chain of significant size with 400,000 square feet of indoor greenhouse space providing for year-round cultivation. As other hemp farmers took a step back in 2020, licensed acres dropped by 27% (https://ibn.fm/anqyj). GRYN, however, will increase its cultivation capacity in 2021 and stay committed to its mission to become the critical supply chain solution from seed to product. The Company’s commitment and ability to provide both volume and consistency of hemp-derived cannabinoids makes it an ideal supplier for long-term studies within the medical, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.

Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF) Raises $1.34 Million, Keeps Foot on Expansion Accelerator as a Premium Brand

  • Pac Roots has differentiated its hemp product, resulting in sale of all 105,000 pounds of industrial hemp from its first harvest in December
  • Pac Roots has made series of business development moves lately, expanding its footprint in Canada, into U.S.
  • Positive developments supported private placement in February that raised gross proceeds of $1.34 million, capital that will be used to keep growing the company
After what could be described at best as a lull from 2019 through mid-2020, the legal cannabis industry has found its legs again on optimism that the current U.S. administration will shepherd in increasingly liberal standards towards the plant and its derivatives. The market still faces challenges, though, as consumer uptake has been slower than initially expected and a copious number of licensed producers have overfilled supply chains and squeezed margins as “me too” companies employ race-to-the-bottom pricing. For a company like Pac Roots Cannabis (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF), the key to profitability resides in differentiation, which underpinned a highly successful first harvest for the Canadian company in December. Using a genetics-focused harvest approach, Pac Roots Cannabis and its JV partner Rock Creek Farms completed a pilot run on 100 acres of land in British Columbia (B.C.) that produced 105,000 pounds of higher-than-expected quality hemp biomass, of which every ounce was bought by the Speakeasy Cannabis Club. In February, Pac Roots Cannabis completed a private placement that raised aggregate gross proceeds of $1.34 million, funds that are earmarked for a number of expansion initiatives. This includes deploying capital for installment payments and development activities on its Fraser Valley property, final commissioning of the Lake Country project, brand development and U.S. business development with Lords of Grasstown and for general working capital. The Fraser Valley is famous for its pristine farming conditions. Only 2.4% of the total land farmed in B.C. is located in Fraser Valley, yet it accounts for 38% of the provincial gross annual farm receipts—the land is that type of fertile. Pac Roots Cannabis intends to develop what it describes as a 250-acre “cannabis island,” including both greenhouse and outdoor growing capacities (https://ibn.fm/ZnElU). The company is also about 90 percent complete with its 20,000 square foot cultivation facility in Lake Country, B.C. Pac Roots Cannabis, through Go Green B.C. Medicinal Marijuana Ltd., is pursuing a Health Canada cultivation license for the facility, which will include about 7,600 square feet of premium flower cultivation space.  The license is expected by Q4 2021. The main focus of the facility will be to capitalize on a partnership with Phenome One where the company can cycle through an elite line of more than 350 unique, high-grade cultivars to continue to meet demand for artisanal, high-end strains. Pac Root Cannabis also made a significant move to penetrate the large California CBD market, completing the cash-and-stock acquisition of Lords of Grasstown Holdings Ltd., a cannabis lifestyle brand founded by Tyler Hazelwood. The Lords of Grasstown originated from the vision of Hazelwood following the success of his Lords of Gastown, a wildly popularly motorcycle supply company and lifestyle brand. With the acquisition, Hazelwood and Tom Pedricks, lead designer for both brands, joined the Pac Roots Cannabis team as consultants. Branding and package design concepts for new products are already in the works, providing another new revenue stream for the company.

Pure Extracts Technologies Corp. (CSE: PULL) (OTC: PRXTF) (XFRA: A2QJAJ) Plans Expanded Product Launch, Announces Order of 30,000 Vape Cartridges

  • Company recently submitted NNCP application for more than 20 retail cannabis products
  • Vape products will launch as part of Pure Pulls Vapes branded product line
  • Demand is growing for these types of offerings, particularly in Albert, British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan
With an e-cigarette market projected to reach more than $1.1 billion in 2021 with steady annual growth estimated at 4.83% through 2025 (https://ibn.fm/In9fo), the recent order of more than 30,000 high-quality vape cartridges and pens by Pure Extracts Manufacturing Corp. (“Pure Manufacturing”) seems particularly well timed. Pure Manufacturing is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pure Extracts Technologies (CSE: PULL) (OTC: PRXTF) (XFRA: A2QJAJ), a plant-based extraction company focused on cannabis, hemp functional mushrooms and the emerging psychedelic sector. This strategic order from a global manufacturer comes as Pure Manufacturing prepares to expand its retail offering. Pure Manufacturing recently submitted a Notice of New Cannabis Product (“NNCP”) application to Health Canada requesting approval for more than 20 retail cannabis products, including both THC and CBD vapes (https://ibn.fm/y5eMp). Pure Manufacturing intends to launch these products as part of its Pure Pulls vapes branded product line. The vape cartridges and pens, which are slated to arrive the first week of April, will be filled with a selection of some of the company’s 30-plus proprietary, full-spectrum oil formulations. Pure Manufacturing estimates that revenue potential for the shipment could reach $650,000. “We are looking forward to building our vape pen inventory in preparation for our retail launch through established provincial distribution channels,” said Pure Extracts’ CEO Ben Nikolaevsky. “At the same time, we plan to launch our Pure Chews brand of CBD and THC edible gummy products, and we have been steadily accumulating all the components from the oil extracts to the flavoring to our proprietary packages” (https://ibn.fm/Y44qO). Pure Manufacturing’s substantially expanded product line is partially in response to growing demand for these types of offerings in Albert, British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan: four provinces the company is targeting for its retail launch. With quality as a top priority, Pure Manufacturing was careful to order only products that met the highest North American standards. The company specifically selected these vaping cartridges and pens based on the quality of component parts, the fit and finish, and their performance characteristics when paired with Pure Manufacturing’s oil concentrates. Pure Manufacturing is dedicated to developing its portfolio of cannabis 2.0 products. The company is particularly interested in its 30 plus proprietary formulations of Pure Pulls branded full-spectrum oil vape products and on its new line of Pure Chews edible gummies. Pure Extracts features an all-new, state-of-the-art processing facility located just 20 minutes north of world-famous Whistler, British Columbia. The bespoke facility has been constructed to European Union GMP standards aiming toward export sales of products and formulations—including those currently restricted in Canada—into European jurisdictions where they are legally available. In September of last year, Pure Extracts was granted its Standard Processing License by Health Canada under the Cannabis Act. The Company’s stock began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) in November 2020. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.PureExtractsCorp.com.

Healthtech Solutions Inc.’s (HLTT) Cloud-Based Software Transforms Ultrasound Analogs Into CT-Quality High-Definition 3D Images

  • HLTT’s Mediscan cloud-based SaaS software transforms 2D analog ultrasound images into 3D HD quantifiable formats
  • Growing list of Mediscan applications include use by primary care physicians, specialists, support staff, sports trainers, EMS personnel and technicians in isolation wards and emergency rooms
  • Mediscan to be offered as cloud-based medical software-as-a-service (“SaaS”)
  • Patents filed with United States Patent and Trademark Office for System Method, Apparatus, and Computer Program Product for Ultrasonic Clinical Decision Support
Primary care physicians, specialists, sports professionals and emergency medical services personnel can now produce high-quality 3D digital medical images with an analog ultrasound machine through Healthtech Solutions’ (OTC: HLTT) Mediscan cloud-based software. HLTT’s Mediscan software generates 3D medical images of any body part that ultrasound technology can access, including vital organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, gallbladder and spleen, along with tendons and skin. The technique reconstructs analog two-dimensional grayscale visual images into digital three-dimensional, high-definition quantifiable formats in roughly one minute that can be viewed on the technician’s desktop computer, monitor, tablet or mobile phone. Mediscan has the potential to bridge the image quality gap between ultrasound technology and the significantly costlier and resource-intensive MRI, CT, and X-ray imaging techniques. The technology will empower medical professionals by providing them with data-driven metrics that enhance decision-making at the point of service. Office-based medical physicians and sports therapists will leverage the technology onsite along with emergency medical services professionals that work on-call in remote areas. Besides providing analytics to analyze the patient’s pathology or trauma, Mediscan software will facilitate treatment option decisions, help medical professionals monitor ongoing progress or regress, and assist with document compliance to ensure that all assessments meet required protocols and procedures. HLTT plans to deploy the service as a medical software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) – a model used widely in the healthcare sector whereby software is licensed on a subscription basis through a centrally hosted cloud-based vendor. Along with its use for clinical information systems, SaaS is gaining software market share in supply chain management, billing services and revenue cycle management. Favored by organizations of all sizes, SaaS is ideal for smaller operations looking to leverage world-class infrastructure without investing in external hardware or IT services. The United States medical imaging market size was recently valued at $134 billion (https://ibn.fm/64c3s) and is expected to continue growing as part of the healthcare industry’s digital transformation. As a result of the technological shift, HLTT’s management team sees a promising opportunity for Mediscan to distribute its technology and has filed patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office through its Mediscan subsidiary for a System Method, Apparatus, and Computer Program Product for Ultrasonic Clinical Decision Support. HLTT’s mission is to produce cost-effective, high-quality 3D imaging software accessible to healthcare providers of all sizes and types across the entire healthcare industry. A growing list of use cases, coupled with increased demand for detailed medical imaging, provides a promising opportunity for the company to develop and distribute its medical imaging solutions to physicians, technicians and therapists across a wide range of specialties in the healthcare space.

Imagin Medical Inc. (CSE: IME) (OTCQB: IMEXF) Reports Manufacturing Progress for Innovative Bladder Cancer Imaging System

  • Imagin Medical believes the i/Blue System can revolutionize the current standard of care for bladder cancer patients by improving cancer visualization for removal, and potentially lowering recurrence rates
  • Imagin Medical is leveraging the significant expertise in optics, electronics, software, and mechanical design of FDA-registered contract manufacturer, Lighthouse Imaging, to implement the final stage of the i/Blue(TM) Imaging System
  • Lighthouse’s manufacturing program remains on track for product commercialization in 2022
Surgical imaging company Imagin Medical (CSE: IME) (OTCQB: IMEXF) is continuing progress with the commercial-stage manufacturing  of its patented i/Blue Imaging System, an innovative technology that the company believes will revolutionize the way surgeons visualize the bladder and identify cancers during minimally invasive surgery. The company has been working with contract manufacturer, Lighthouse Imaging, to complete the system for commercialization. In a company press release, Imagin Medical’s President and CEO, Jim Hutchens, said the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the company’s production timeline by approximately nine months, which moved product completion into 2022. “The good news is that Lighthouse’s program has stayed on schedule and we expect it to remain on target going forward,” Hutchens added (https://ibn.fm/rHZFl). Lighthouse Imaging’s development program is focused on refining the i/Blue System’s design after Imagin Medical received multiple fully functional feasibility units from original design partner, Optel, Inc. The patented, ultrasensitive imaging technology behind  i/Blue employs advanced light sensors and optics to enhance visibility and aid in the removal  bladder cancer, the sixth most prevalent form of cancer in the United States and, the most expensive to treat because of high recurrence rates. Surgeons traditionally perform cystoscopies to visualize and diagnose bladder cancer during surgery. Most cystoscopies use white light to illuminate the bladder, a technique that has been used for decades and is the standard for 90 percent of the market. For its many benefits, white light has the disadvantage of only highlighting cancerous tumors that protrude above the bladder wall. This makes it difficult to identify flat tumors because of the inability to distinguish between healthy tissue and tumors. This drawback has been addressed with the introduction of blue light with a contrast imaging agent that highlights the cancer to detect flat tumors, but blue light images are not in real time, which makes it impossible to operate using blue light images alone. For the surgery to be effective, surgeons need to manually switch back and forth from white to blue light images, requiring the surgeon to resect the tumor from memory when they switch back to the white light. Imagin Medical’s i/Blue System can correct the limitations of today’s white and blue light cystoscopy procedures. Combining the same FDA-approved imaging agent with white and blue light, the innovative technology allows surgeons to view both white and blue light images side-by-side simultaneously on the monitor during the procedure, which means they do not have to switch back and forth. Additionally, the technology is highly versatile and can be attached to most endoscopes on the market, which means hospitals would be able to adopt the visualization system without having to replace their current instruments, resulting in significant cost savings. The company believes this technology has the potential to revolutionize the current standard of care for bladder cancer patients by advancing the efficiency and accuracy of cancer detection and removal, and potentially reducing recurrence rates.  Imagin plans to build on the i/Blue technology to expand its use in multiple endoscopic procedures, including laparoscopic, colorectal and thoracic procedures that use a variety of contrast dye agents and illumination sources. Imagin’s FDA approval process is supported by certified manufacturer Lighthouse Imaging’s manufacturing program, which aims to ensure i/Blue System’s compliance with all applicable regulatory standards, as well as final device performance and manufacturability to meet anticipated demands and cost targets. Director of Engineering and Quality, Mike Vergano, voiced appreciation for the Lighthouse team’s expertise and exceptional work to date and added “We chose Lighthouse because of its accomplished history of taking innovative products like our i/Blue System and applying its cross-functional expertise in optics, electronics, software and mechanical design to move into commercial manufacturing,” he explained, underlining that the results so far have not been disappointing and expects the same going forward.

Knightscope’s Autonomous Security Robots Awarded TSA Competition Prize

  • Autonomous security robot (“ASR”) developer Knightscope is manufacturing and deploying a cadre of unsleeping sentinels designed to patrol perimeters and report their findings to human operators
  • The company’s ASRs were recently honored with a second-place award in the area of “passenger experience” by the government’s Transportation Security Administration as part of its Power of Passengers Challenge
  • Knightscope’s platform delivers revolutionary tools for a stressed industry during a time of increasing threats to Americans’ safety
  • Knightscope’s founders developed their mission in response to threats such as the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shootings, and the domestic terror bombing of the Boston Marathon
  • The company currently deploys three models that respond to client needs in a variety of ways, using AI technology and camera, heat-sensing and communications resources to gather and distribute information
Twenty years after the September 11 terrorist attacks on Americans and their government, the country continues to grapple with the challenges of ensuring greater security to travelers as well as company and agency infrastructures. In response to these issues, the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) wing of the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) recently fielded competitors in its private industry Power of Passengers Challenge to pursue innovations for improving security screenings, situational and/or operational awareness, passenger arrivals, international arrival transfers and COVID-19 recovery. Autonomous security robot (“ASR”) developers at Knightscope were honored with a second-place award in the area of “passenger experience,” which included a $20,000 cut of the event’s prize fund (https://ibn.fm/maTEO). “We could not be more honored to have our efforts recognized by the Transportation Security Administration. It is another step forward on our mission to helping make the United States of America become the safest country in the world,” Knightscope Chairman and CEO William Santana Li stated (https://ibn.fm/lPvHX). Knightscope was formed in April 2013 by Santana Li and Stacy Dean Stephens in response to the bombing at the Boston Marathon and the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School that had occurred during the previous year. Recent unrest in response to shootings involving police officers has only added fuel to their inner fire. “What really gets me fired up (is) I was born in New York City and someone hit my town on 9/11. And I’m still profoundly pissed off about it, so I dedicated the rest of my life to better securing our country,” Santana Li said in a new company video biopic (https://ibn.fm/AWn4b). “Additionally the mass shooting violence across the country is not acceptable. … Our country is under attack. I was livid then and I’m even more furious now.” Santana Li notes that crime has more than a trillion-dollar negative economic impact on the United States every year. Knightscope’s response came in the form of autonomous sentry robots that provide property perimeter vigilance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — an unarmed and unthreatening presence, but one uniquely capable of perceiving, recording and transmitting information to security personnel overseers and law enforcement. The robots are even capable of providing a barrier to virus transmission between humans during the pandemic. The company’s K1 stationary robot, its mobile indoor K3 model and its outdoor patrolling K5 are capable of streaming live video from a 360-degree perspective, visualizing dark and unseen areas with heat-sensing and thermal-imaging cameras, monitoring communications frequencies, and using AI to recognize targets of specific interest. Its speakers are also capable of communicating messages from operators in real time. Knightscope thereby provides the tools to security forces to more effectively cover more area with less risk to personnel. The CEO noted that providing better security tools to government agencies, companies and perhaps even individuals will impact society across a broad spectrum of interests, from insurance rates to housing prices, from school budgets to financial markets. “Long-term, I dream of building a $30 billion equivalent to a defense contractor, you know, something similar like Lockheed-Martin or a Boeing or General Dynamics or a Raytheon, except focus on helping the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Justice better secure our country with a wide-ranging portfolio of new ground-breaking technologies,” Santana Li said. “I think it is possible.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Knightscope.com.

SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) Announces Addition of Brock Pierce to Board of Directors

  • SRAX Inc. reveals that entrepreneur and 2020 presidential candidate, Brock Pierce, is joining Company’s Board of Directors
  • Pierce has been involved with over 100 companies as an entrepreneur, and was formerly involved in sale of Five Delta to SRAX in 2014
  • Pierce will bring a significant track-record in capital markets along with him, essential skill sets which will benefit ongoing development of SRAX’s Sequire platform
SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a digital marketing pioneer focused on providing consumer data management services, revealed that entrepreneur, philanthropist and 2020 presidential candidate Brock Pierce has joined the SRAX board of directors. Pierce will be replacing Malcolm CasSelle, the former CEO of BIGtoken, who passed away in November of 2020. Brock Piece has a long and illustrious track record as an entrepreneur, having co-founded, advised, and funded over 100 companies, which in turn, has led to the creation of new employment opportunities and marketplaces through technological innovation, including the use of novel blockchain technologies. Pierce also boasts a lengthy association with SRAX, having been responsible for the formation of Five Delta, a company purchased by SRAX in 2014 which held a number of patents centered around social media ad targeting. The Five Delta team and the company’s technological solutions would go on to form SRAX MD, a company which would ultimately be spun off by SRAX to private equity buyers in 2018 for a gross consideration approximating $50 million. “Brock Pierce is one of the smartest people and one of the most significant visionaries I have ever met,” said SRAX CEO and Founder Christopher Miglino. “He has been able to see trends early and has been able to capitalize on those insights. We are honored to have him join our Board of Directors and are especially honored to have him replace the seat left behind from the passing of Malcolm CasSelle whom we loved, respected, and miss daily.” SRAX has recently centered its operational efforts around Sequire, the Company’s proprietary investor intelligence platform which has grown to boast over 3 million retail investors. Launched as a standalone platform in early 2020, Sequire has attracted over 91 publicly listed companies as subscribers (https://ibn.fm/YiXuZ), many of which have benefited from the unparalleled access to a vast universe of untapped investors. Retail investors have been increasingly active within the U.S. equity market over the past year, with brokerage TD Ameritrade revealing last year that it had seen nearly 1.76 million retail accounts opened during January through September of 2020—a record amount for the company over the first nine months of a year. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs strategists recently raised their 2021 net equity demand estimates from US households from $100 billion to $350 billion (https://ibn.fm/LBfGb) in reflection of the growing number of retail investors. “SRAX is changing the way that investors interact with public companies and fundamentally changing the interaction between the retail investor and the capital markets,” said Brock Pierce. “This year, more than ever, the strength of the retail investor has become apparent to the board room. SRAX is at the forefront of this shift, and I look forward to sharing my capital markets experience with the team,” he concluded. For more information, visit the companies’ website at www.SRAX.com.
