Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) Begins Laboratory Venture with National Research Council

• Collaborative venture could lead to strengthening of company’s patent portfolio, new commercial opportunities
• Firm receives patent in Australia, anticipates entering that market through cannabinoid licensing arrangements and product distribution partnerships
• LXRP names Allan Spissinger acting chief financial officer

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) has begun laboratory work with the National Research Council (“NRC”) (http://dtn.fm/e4oZB). The collaboration will begin studies using LXRP’s patented technologies. The research will include the company’s technology in vitamins, NSAIDs, nicotine and cannabinoids utilizing lipophilic active agents. LXRP has patented technology involving how those agents are ingested into the human body in various edibles, such as beverages, foods, capsules and others means.

LXRP has also named Allan Spissinger (http://dtn.fm/ziT65) as its acting chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer. He has been with the company since September 2014, when he joined as corporate controller. A CPA, he has more than 10 years’ experience in corporate IT infrastructure and software development before focusing of finance and accounting.

The firm, based in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, is a food biosciences company which is a technology disrupter for edible CBDs. It markets a high absorption hemp oil formulation for exotic teas, protein energy bars and high absorption hemp oil capsules that aid in the body’s absorption of CBDs. It is focusing on developing more products for the edible cannabis market.

The joint research venture with the NRC will use advanced analytical techniques. Practical application of the resulting research could broaden or strengthen LXRP’s intellectual property portfolio and even lead to additional commercial arrangements, per a recent statement from the company.

LXRP has a number of international patents, including the recent 20-year effective patent approval issued by Australia (http://dtn.fm/D3NMa) for the company’s edible cannabis absorption method, time of onset and taste of cannabinoid’s active agents in food.

“We are very pleased to have received this patent which effectively covers all cannabis oil extract formulated edibles using our technology in Australia,” Chris Bunka, chief executive officer of LXRP, stated in a news release. “This patent award allows us to confidently enter the recently legalized Australian cannabis marketplace where we will seek additional licensing and product distribution partnering opportunities.”

A similar patent was granted in the U.S. in 2016, and Bunka added that LXRP anticipates progress on its patent portfolios throughout the remainder of 2017 and into 2018. In the U.S., the company successfully filed a provisional patent application (http://dtn.fm/0kNSJ) and stock and option awards in June 2017. It expands the company’s existing patent in the U.S. to microwave processing.

AppSwarm, Inc. (SWRM) Snaps up Ecommerce Apps as Global App Market Sets Off on Triple Digit Growth

• Incubator of digital app development
• Positioned to benefit from rising ecommerce activity
• Strategy based on the nexus of app development and increasing mobile commerce

A recent report by app market data outfit App Annie sheds some light on the current strategy of technology development company AppSwarm, Inc. (OTC: SWRM). Worth $1.3 trillion in 2016, the app economy is expected to reach $6.3 trillion by 2021, growing a staggering 380 percent over the next five years. According to the report, a review of which appeared in Fortune (http://dtn.fm/v0U7A), mobile commerce, which involves the purchase of goods using a smartphone app, will represent the “single largest driver of the growth of the mobile and app economy.” With these exciting developments set to increase ecommerce activity, AppSwarm plans to gain a competitive edge on two fronts. The innovative incubation accelerator is collaborating with app developers through joint ventures, royalty agreements, marketing partnerships, and outright purchase agreements. It is also acquiring ecommerce sites and currently has four under its wing. Using a proprietary screening process called ‘The Swarm’, AppSwarm continues to execute its strategy of synergistic acquisitions within the software development and related services industry.

Although its public acceptance continues to rise, ecommerce in the U.S. comprises less than 10 percent of retail sales, much less than in China and the Asia-Pacific region. According to App Annie, “Compared to U.S. consumers, Chinese consumers are nearly three times as likely to buy food and groceries via their devices, twice as likely to transfer money using apps, and four times more likely to spend a majority of disposable income on mobile.” As a result, AppSwarm sees an opportunity to apply its current business model to this burgeoning sector.

AppSwarm’s partnerships with developers of apps and mobile games have given the company a unique familiarity with smartphone-based technologies and the behavior of smartphone users. Now, AppSwarm plans to apply its business model, which has been successful in the application world, to other industries and has announced a series of acquisitions over the past year. In March 2017, the company announced the purchase of a novel ecommerce website called Namefy, which helps entrepreneurs choose the optimal name for their businesses. In May, it followed that acquisition up with two others. First came AuthLinks.com, which offers bloggers and website owners a unique opportunity to tap into the potential of high authority links, and then Into The VR World, a site that offers a variety of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications.

AppSwarm has also acquired Urban Bamboo Designs, which markets bracelets, décor, phone cases, smoking gear, sunglasses and watches, all made from bamboo. For environmentally-aware consumers, bamboo is an attractive medium of manufacture. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world, growing from 1-to-4 inches in a single day, and regrows quickly after being cut and harvested – thus making it top of the list as a renewable resource. Since the plant’s health is improved by cutting, bamboo can be re-harvested every three years or so without any harmful effects on the environment, whereas hardwoods like oak can take up to 40 years to mature before they can be harvested.

Due to its strength, lightweight nature, flexibility and affordability, bamboo is a common construction replacement material. The versatility of bamboo products offers a wide range of products from fabric to skateboards to medicine, and, because bamboo plants produce 30 percent more oxygen, the plant reduces greenhouse gases.

Apart from its promising foray into the ecommerce and app markets, AppSwarm has its eye on the business applications segment. It currently offers a PDF document scanner app, which turns iPhone and iPad devices into portable document scanners. Scans can then be saved as either images or PDFs. The company is also a player in the digital games space, with a menu suiting a variety of tastes that includes Turtles, Huh? – Learn to Fly, which at one time was ranked as the number one iOS family games app in five countries, as well as Avenging Soldiers, Dead Uncleansed, and Soccers.

How Much Did that Pizza Cost? Weird and Fun Bitcoin Trivia Facts

The world’s most popular form of cryptocurrency – bitcoin – has an enigmatic beginning. Its mysterious founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, bears a fictitious name that has kept the curious guessing as to his/her (or their) identity since bitcoin was created in 2009. In the 2016 movie, “Banking on Bitcoin,” no less than four men are identified as the mystic namesake. Three deny the nomenclature, although the last man, Australian computer scientist Craig Steven Wright, claims to be the elusive founder of bitcoin (http://dtn.fm/Jn6ZB).

Nakamoto’s idea – to develop a digital encrypted currency that can be exchanged for any other traditional currency used throughout the world – has both fascinated and confused the public. Virtual money inherently means there’s no physical currency to have and to hold. That idea made a lot of people nervous and many others interested in it.

After all, if you could purchase your favorite brew, spend a night in America’s iconic Sin City (Las Vegas, of course), or hop on a plane simply by paying with digital currency backed up by no one, would you do it? You can do all these things and more (including ordering a $35,000 Tesla 3) with bitcoin (http://dtn.fm/5nlR3).

Bitcoin’s ballistic rise to prominence in the financial world and virtual pocketbooks of average folks deserves some explanation. This monetary revolution found its niche following the September 2008 financial crisis, when the stock market dived, plunging investors into losses that some are still in the process of recovering from today.

Bitcoin is defined by bitcoin.org as “an innovative payment network and a new kind of money.” It is a peer-to-peer payment network with no middleman. Users send and receive bitcoin within the network of those honoring the system.

The unique thing about bitcoin is that it is transparent. Your personal data can’t be shared, just your transactions and the amounts spent. Everything is tracked and followed on a blockchain, and that’s what instills trust and security among those using bitcoin. To enable this process, bitcoin uses software that anonymously logs and validates the activities of bitcoin users around the globe (http://dtn.fm/UE4kz).

There’s no physical money, but there are a finite number of bitcoin that can be created – 21 million, to be exact. A digital wallet holds your bitcoin, and there are usually few or no associated fees. While you are free to spend your bitcoin as you see fit, refunds are not possible, and, if you lose your digital wallet, well, let’s just say you are going to have a very bad, no-good day. James Howell can attest to that. He lost 7,500 bitcoin worth £4 million by throwing his hard drive away (http://dtn.fm/FB4Hg).

Once bitcoin took off as a legitimate digital currency, its rise in value jumped. From the first exchange of a single bitcoin in 2009 to its current value of over $4,000 today, the cryptocurrency continues to rise. For context, on May 22, 2010, two pizzas were purchased with 10,000 bitcoin worth about $25. In December 2013, those same bitcoin were worth about $7 million, and, by May 2017, the value had jumped to $20 million, making that first bitcoin purchase likely the most expensive lunch in history (http://dtn.fm/tEaR7).

In 2013, Overstock.com became the first major U.S. retailer to accept the digital currency. “We think there’s going to be a market in Bitcoin and we want to get in front of it,” Overstock’s CEO at the time, Patrick Byrne, said in an interview with bitcoin blog newsBTC. “It will put [Overstock] at a competitive edge if, and only if, the general population starts thinking and using bitcoin,” he said (http://dtn.fm/mw6Dh). “We’re willing to take the first step and see.”

Other popular online companies like Newegg, Microsoft and Expedia are also accepting bitcoin. In fact, the number of merchants accepting bitcoin has grown to over 82,000, and there are more than 1,350 bitcoin ATMs worldwide in 55 countries. However, there are still some countries where buying or using bitcoin is either illegal or banned; among them are Vietnam, Iceland, Bolivia, Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan and Bangladesh (http://dtn.fm/5uDNS).

This article wouldn’t be complete without asking, “What’s some of the weirdest things you can buy with Bitcoin?” Among the real-life purchases possible with the cybercurrency are a $1,795 motorized unicycle, two adult Canadian woolly mammoth tusks for $175,000 and a $29 bright yellow, cozy handmade bitcoin plush pillow. Who knows… 10 years from now that pillow could be a highly valued collector’s item (http://dtn.fm/4oKZE).

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) is a Fast Mover in Colossal Markets

• Founded in 1999 to offer financial information to Chinese-speaking investors
• Identifies and executes opportunistic strategies in colossal markets
• Positioning to lead in Chinese CBD and cryptocurrency markets

There’s a lot to like about a company that can swiftly identify opportunity and execute on its strategy. ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is one company that doesn’t waste time. The company was founded in 1999 to offer real-time market commentary, analysis and educational services to Chinese-speaking investors via its dynamic financial website, www.Chinesefn.com. Success followed, and CIIX steadily increased subscribers to currently exceed one hundred thousand. Armed with insights garnered from years of market analysis, CIIX has consistently looked for growth opportunities for expansion.

In 2016, the company recognized the unprecedented growth opportunity in the legal cannabis industry, where the market is projected to continue to grow at a 27 percent CAGR through 2021 (http://dtn.fm/ACwm4). Once the target market was identified, ChineseInvestors.com started laying the groundwork to capitalize on the growing demand for cannabidiol-based (CBD) nutrition and health products, with a natural focus on Chinese-speaking markets. By the end of 2016, the company had begun implementing its plans for a new website and mobile application in order to facilitate online distribution of CBD oils for the booming global medical marijuana industry. While marijuana use in China is illegal, cannabis-based oils, including hemp-based CBDs, are legal, thus opening a potential market of nearly two billion people for CIIX.

Since launch, the company has continued to identify new markets and expansion targets. Recognizing the enormous untapped market for cannabis-based skin care products, CIIX quickly developed and filed with the China Food and Drug Administration to launch a new skin care line over the next couple months. This quick action will put CIIX first to market with immense upside potential.

Now, the company has latched on to another rapid market mover in cryptocurrencies. The underlying blockchain technology of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has the potential to transform transactional business by transferring value anywhere around the world without the need of traditional intermediaries such as clearing firms or banks. The ability to transfer value solely through software could become a transformational breakthrough. It’s no coincidence that the Chinese are dominant players in bitcoin mining and volume.

Just two weeks ago, CIIX announced the launch of a cryptocurrency education and trading subscription service (http://dtn.fm/Fi5eJ). The company also announced plans to launch the first Chinese daily video news broadcast from the NYSE covering cryptocurrency and blockchain technology (http://dtn.fm/y2Kp2).

CIIX continues to identify market openings with colossal upside opportunity, but, even more importantly, CIIX moves rapidly to capitalize on these opportunities.

Algae Dynamics Corp. (ADYNF) Exploiting a Profitable Niche in Canada’s Booming Cannabis Market

• Company is carving out a niche in a burgeoning market
• Canada’s oil extraction market projected to reach $1.5 billion by 2020
• Impending blanket legalization has poised Canada’s marijuana market for explosive growth

The legal marijuana industry is growing by leaps and bounds in North America—particularly in Canada, where medical cannabis has been nationally legal since 2001 and where Canada’s government has now introduced sweeping legislation aimed at making recreational marijuana use legal by July 2018. Canada-based Algae Dynamics Corp. (OTCQB: ADYNF) is among the cannabis stocks preparing to cash in on the influx of business that is sure to follow such an event.

Algae Dynamics is focused on cannabis oil extraction and medicine delivery systems, endeavoring to offer medical cannabis users a means of enjoying the benefits of medical marijuana without smoking. The company is preparing to exploit a niche market with its development of unique health products and pharmaceuticals utilizing hemp, cannabis and algae oils.

If recreational cannabis is successfully legalized on a national scale, Canada’s market for oil extraction is projected to grow to C$1.5 billion by 2020. In Colorado, 45 percent of cannabis consumers who use dried marijuana have said they would eventually switch over to marijuana extracts and oil, and a similar conversion rate is anticipated for Canada’s market. In view of this, Algae Dynamics is extremely well-positioned for success.

Algae Dynamics has engaged two premier universities to perform research into the various uses of cannabis and hemp oil extracts. In combination with other compounds, cannabis and hemp oil extracts could prove effective in the treatment of colorectal, pancreatic, breast and prostate cancers, as well as in the development of novel pharmacotherapies to treat various mental health conditions.

Algae Dynamics is poised for great success in Canada’s favorable cannabis environment. The legal status of medical marijuana has already positioned the company for profitability, and the impending legalization of recreational marijuana is likely to take Algae Dynamics even further.

ABcann Global Corp. (TSX.V: ABCN) (OTCQB: ABCCF) Ensuring Quality of Medical Cannabis Products with Proprietary Growing Technology

• Environmentally-controlled growing chambers generate consistent, superior quality
• Proprietary technologies eliminate risk, ensuring patients enjoy peace of mind
• Publicly-traded ABcann entered funding deal for $15 million at $2.25 per share

The Canadian government’s recent announcement that Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. is recalling several products sold last year after two banned pesticides were found in random samples illustrates the importance of ABcann Global Corp.’s (TSX.V: ABCN) (OTCQB: ABCCF) controlled, pesticide-free approach to growing medical marijuana (http://dtn.fm/8ZOgn).

Several other cannabis-growing Canadian companies also reaped the attention of authorities following mandatory testing. Hydropothecary and Peace Naturals both had products recalled earlier this year following detection of banned pesticides in some products, while Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. is still awaiting its license from Health Canada to grow and sell medical cannabis (http://dtn.fm/CS5es).

In contrast, ABcann’s flagship production facility in Napanee, Ontario, continues to meet demand, even as its expansion plans move forward with an expedited construction timeline announced last month (http://dtn.fm/d1JLJ).

“ABcann has moved methodically through each stage of our growth since first obtaining our license in 2014,” founder and director Ken Clement said in an update published on the company’s website. “Providing a high quality, standardized pesticide-free product to our patients remains our number one priority as we initiate our largest expansion plans to date.”

ABcann has approximately $43 million in cash and 100 percent ownership of a 65-acre parcel located not far from its current facility. Phase 1 of the expansion project includes building a 100,000 square foot facility with an annual production capacity of about 1,000 kilograms of cannabis (http://dtn.fm/7cDSD).

A recent $15 million investment in the company by Cannabis Wheaton, part of a $30 million commitment, underscores the company’s belief in ABcann’s tremendous potential for growth (http://dtn.fm/q3PCC).

ABcann’s commitment to growing and providing standardized quality products for the medical marijuana community is a critical component of its future growth plans. The company’s mission, says Clement, is “to deliver consistent, standardized medical cannabis that the public and patients can consistently rely on.”

ProBility Media Corp.’s (PBYA) Virtual Reality Education Programs Take Technical Training to the US Workforce

• Training programs already offered in 22 states
• Upending traditional approach to delivering education and training
• Employing VR technology to cut costs and improve accessibility

Taking Francis Bacon’s aphorism ‘if the mountain will not go to Mohammed, then Mohammed must go to the mountain’ to heart, ProBility Media Corp. (OTCQB: PBYA) plans to deliver its extensive suite of technical training programs nationwide through virtual reality and a host of other cutting edge technologies. At present, the company offers programs in 22 states, so it is already halfway to realizing its ambitious goal. Partnering with developers of three-dimensional (3D) technology, ProBility will create virtual reality and interactive media content designed specifically for education and training purposes. The innovative edtech company wants nothing less than to create the first full service training and career advancement brand for technical vocations and trades.

Recent innovations in information technology have expanded the bounds of countless industries, and the field of education is no different. Historically, delivering educational services meant the construction of costly infrastructure such as schools, colleges, and laboratories, as well as funding emoluments for teachers and instructors. In addition, this model placed the provision of services in one fixed location. Like a mountain, a college or training facility cannot move, which means that not only Mohammed but students must oftentimes travel for long distances, perhaps relocate, if they wish to attend a particular school.

This traditional approach affects the market for education from both the demand and the supply ends. Supply quantity is curtailed, since building schools and community colleges is expensive. Likewise, demand quantity is dampened because of high tuition costs and the inevitable barriers to availability and accessibility, both adverse outcomes resulting because schools can’t go to students. That’s why ProBility’s approach, which takes schooling to students, is such a big deal, killing, as it does, two birds with one stone. With ProBility’s eLearning VR educational programs, a student can sit in the comfort of his or her home and enjoy all the benefits of a classroom or lab environment.

The potential for a nationwide expansion of ProBility’s eLearning programs is promising. The market for employer-based formal training is estimated at around $177 billion annually. Most of that (52%) is in service industries, with manufacturing accounting for 14%; transportation and utilities another 11%; finance, insurance and real estate 9%; and retail 9%. Construction and mining together account for 4% of total spending on employer-based formal training.

A recent New York Times piece (http://dtn.fm/d4G3b) detailed how West Virginia ‘is now leading the way in turning vocational education from a Plan B for underachieving students into what policy makers hope will be a fuel source for the state’s economic revival. Simulated workplaces, overseen by teachers newly trained in important state industries like health, coal and even fracking, are now operating in schools across the state. Students punch a time clock, are assigned professional roles like foreman or safety supervisor, and are even offered several vacation days of their choice in addition to regular school breaks.’

VR technology is currently employed to deliver ProBility’s crane training programs. ProBility has collaborated with GlobalSim, a VR Crane industry leader, to offer a cutting-edge VR simulation platform that combines a comprehensive training program with superb realism, all at an affordable price. The GlobalSim VR simulator comes equipped with a headset that offers an unlimited field-of-view in a mixed reality setting, allowing for a completely immersive experience. Just as with traditional simulator systems, the GlobalSim VR platform uses real equipment controls, joysticks and buttons, so operators can become familiar with the actual equipment they will use in the workplace.

As part of its strategy to offer training programs in crane operation, ProBility also signed an exclusive publishing and distribution deal with All Purpose Crane Training (AP), which provides nationwide crane-rigging training and certification that meets OSHA-ANSI requirements. OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; ANSI is the American National Standards Institute.

The courses, customized to meet the specific needs of customers, can be taken either at the customer’s site or at AP’s training centers around the country. They include aerial lift operator training, forklift operator certification, crane rigging instructor courses, mobile crane operator certification, crane operator training, overhead crane training, and rigging and signal-person qualification training.

SinglePoint, Inc. (SING) Opening the Marijuana Money Spigot

• Legal marijuana sales projected to exceed $20 billion within four years
• Federal banking restrictions make cannabis a cash business
• SING developing bitcoin-based payment solutions

Growing as much as 30 percent annually, legal marijuana sales in North America topped $6.7 billion last year and are projected to exceed $20.2 billion within four years (http://dtn.fm/Mhz0k). That’s eye-popping growth by almost any measure. However, this new found avalanche of revenues is shunned by banks.

Most banks won’t touch cannabis cash, because marijuana is illegal under U.S. federal law and banks must comply with federal regulations to maintain good standing. Banks just don’t want to be in the middle of a federal government versus state’s rights issue and risk losing their charter to operate. Effectively, this makes legal cannabis a cash-only business.

An inconvenience for consumers, it’s an enormous problem for private marijuana growers and distributors, creating transactional obstructions within booming businesses. Transacting $20+ billion of business annually in cash is no easy task. Real complications come on the operational end of businesses. There are multiple obvious security risks to business owners and employees paid in cash. Then the headaches really expand when realizing that all operational expenses, like utility bills, are cash payments. Complications and penalties further ensue when paying federal employee-withholding taxes and business income taxes, where headaches turn into migraines.

This constriction in the marijuana money spigot may be solved by a bitcoin payment solution for the marijuana industry, providing a much-needed financial transaction option and allowing cannabis businesses to accept credit card payments without the cooperation of banks or the FDIC. SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) has announced just such an initiative to develop a bitcoin payment solution for the cannabis industry. SING has partnered with First Bitcoin Capital Corp., an industry-leading bitcoin and blockchain technology provider (http://dtn.fm/Wu4Z3), to develop and distribute a viable payments solution targeted at “high-risk payment verticals including the cannabis industry” to “fill the payments gap that currently exists.”

Bitcoin, the world’s first and most recognized cryptocurrency, recently vaulted to new record highs above $4,000. Valued around seven dollars five years ago, the digital currency has quadrupled in value in 2017, jumping 40 percent in August alone (http://dtn.fm/7kUeV). Cryptocurrencies have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. The underlying blockchain technology of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has the potential to transform transactional business by transferring value anywhere around the world without the need of traditional intermediaries such as clearing firms or banks. The ability to transfer value solely through software could become a transformational breakthrough.

As part of a broad strategy to cement its position in the cannabis industry, SinglePoint has been actively providing corporate solutions to cannabis businesses through its SingleSeed subsidiary. Without actually touching the plant, SinglePoint profits from the booming marijuana markets by providing much-needed business solutions to growers and providers. Providing a payments solution to the projected $20+ billion marijuana markets would be a game changer. SING’s strategic joint venture partnership with First Bitcoin Capital Corp. may very well be the transformational breakthrough needed by the burgeoning marijuana industry.

Algae Dynamics Corp. (ADYNF) Positioned to Benefit as Market Survey Highlights Consumer Preference for CBD

• Survey respondents use CBD to treat anxiety, depression, insomnia and joint pain
• ADYNF is researching impact of cannabidiol products in treatment of mental health issues and cancers
• 61% of consumers surveyed said they are spending greater than $50 monthly on CBD products

Algae Dynamics Corp. (OTCQB: ADYNF) could be among the chief beneficiaries of a recent survey that found that 42% of respondents chose cannabidiol (CBD), derived from hemp or marijuana, and dropped traditional medicines (http://dtn.fm/O1sJM). In addition, an “Understanding Cannabidiol” survey of some 2,400 members of HelloMD, an online CBD community, and market research firm Brightfield Group jointly found that, by an overwhelming majority, respondents favored CBD made from cannabis rather than industrial hemp (http://dtn.fm/XbGU6).

CBD is being used instead of traditional medicines to treat anxiety (67%), insomnia (60%), joint pain and inflammation (52%) and depression (43%). A total of 61% of survey-takers said that they spend more than $50 monthly on CBD products, while more than half of respondents said they use oil cartridges and vaping. Notably, more than half (58%) of those surveyed are women.

The study found that 42% of respondents use cannabis rather than traditional medications for depression, anxiety, joint pain and anxiety, and some 80% said they find CBD products to be very or extremely effective treatments. Some 90% said they would be likely to buy marijuana-based CBD-only products.

Also, 53% of CBD users purchase CBD products from storefront dispensaries, 31% through local delivery services, and 17% online. Not only do 29% of this group find that CBD products provide the best medical relief, but, in the study’s words “about 66% of CBD users indicated that CBD products are either more effective or much more effective in relieving their medical conditions than are over-the counter (OTC) products.”

Algae Dynamics, headquartered and doing business in Ontario, Canada, is a development stage company which is publicly traded in the U.S. It maintains university collaborations to develop specific cannabis oil product lines, with the University of Waterloo and the University of Western Ontario. It specializes in cannabis oil extraction and hemp oils.

ADYNF is working with the University of Western Ontario to explore the impact of cannabis oil, its constituents and other botanical extracts that lead to development of unique products for the treatment of mental health issues, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia.

With the University of Waterloo, ADYNF is performing fundamental research on cannabis oil leading to the treatment of cancers of the pancreas, breast, prostate and colorectum. ADYNF is seeking to combine the benefits of algae and cannabis oils and their role in the cancer-related potential treatment by botanical oils, specifically focusing on cannabis.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) Seeks To Become Bitcoin Information Leader for the Global Chinese-Speaking Community

• Formally announces subscription service Chinesefn.com, offering real-time reporting on digital currency news
• Published report analyzes jump in bitcoin valuation and its larger role in legalized marijuana markets
• CIIX targets China, which has an estimated 85% share of the bitcoin market

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), along with other companies in the cannabidiol (CBD) and legalized cannabis industries, are increasingly relying on bitcoin cryptocurrency for transactions. Not only has the value of bitcoin skyrocketed to greater than $4,000 in the past year, it solves the problem of transactions in this largely unbankable market.

In a July press release, the company formally announced the debut of its new cryptocurrency education and trading subscription service on Chinesefn.com, the company’s own financial website for the Chinese-speaking community. The new service will offer coverage of the emerging digital currency world. Through its new subscription service, CIIX endeavors to become the leading digital currency education site for the global Chinese-speaking market.

CIIX’s goal is to become a leading Chinese publicly-traded company offering real-time information on its website, conducting research and development of legalized cannabidiol and providing global distribution of hemp-based cannabidiol and other health products. The firm has an online store in the free trade zone of Shanghai, China, and plans to open a brick-and-mortar unit in San Gabriel, California.

Bitcoin jumped 500% from $200 to $1,000 in January 2017, and it recently reached a record-high of more than $4,500. Warren Wang, founder and CEO of CIIX, has noted his belief that it can climb even higher. “With an estimated 85% market share, China is one of the dominant players controlling bitcoin volume, along with Japan (which recently legalized bitcoin as a form of payment) and the United States,” he noted in a recent news release. “CIIX intends to provide fundamental knowledge to Chinese speaking newcomers to cryptocurrency, including straightforward explanations of the basics of cryptocurrency, how to buy it and straightforward trading guidelines.”

Fueling part of the growth, according to a newly-published report (http://dtn.fm/z10CT), is the widespread use of bitcoin in the CBD and legalized marijuana industries. In this non-traditional, unbankable marketplace, suppliers, wholesalers and retail dispensaries are using bitcoin for transactions. While most dispensaries are currently cash-only businesses, bitcoin could enable consumers to complete purchases free of traditional banks.

The recent surge in interest related to cryptocurrency and its underlying blockchain technology has been impossible to ignore. Without a doubt, bitcoin on its own presents a valuable investment opportunity, and its role in the future of CIIX and other industry players is growing in importance.

SinglePoint, Inc. (SING) Issues Update on Its Acquisitions and Initiatives

• SinglePoint recently completed acquisitions of Convectium and DIGS Hydro
• The company offers an online payment solution through a partnership with First Bitcoin Capital
• Online payments and marketing services are available through SingleSeed.com

SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) revealed in a July 18, 2017, audio press release that it is now working with a cryptocurrency expert to lead an initiative to develop a payment solution designed for high risk customers. The company has grown from a full service mobile tech provider to a publicly traded holding company serving the cannabis market. Thanks to a joint venture with First Bitcoin Capital Corp., according to the audio press release (http://dtn.fm/K68cB), efforts to deliver a testable solution within 60 days are underway.

Helping to drive a consumer-first approach, the joint venture is expected to yield an easier transaction at the point of sale. In addition, two recent acquisitions are driving SinglePoint’s acquisition and growth strategy. One is DIGS Hydro, which now has two operating stores in Southern California and plans to open a third. The company, specializing in growing, cultivating and consulting in the cannabis industry, has seen growth in its first two quarters. The acquisition of Convectium, which manufactures and supplies the 710Shark oil filling machine, has been fulfilling as well.

In a recent podcast (http://dtn.fm/Mw9aP), Greg Lambrecht, CEO of SinglePoint, interviewed Wil Ralston, VP of sales and marketing. The two discussed how a new payment solution will avoid issues of purchasing cannabis products through banks, as well as the company’s presence in the OTC markets. Ralston also discussed the expansion of Convectium into a new office, with the addition of five new sales people and an operations specialist, and how it is driving the company’s acquisition phase and revenues.

SinglePoint is also developing an online marketing strategy, which involves selling products nationwide through the DIGS website – DIGSHydro.com. The recently acquired subsidiary received a significant purchase order in June to offer supplies and services to a major biomedical company. Payment solutions are already being offered through the online portal and subsidiary at SingleSeed.com, available now to cannabis retailers. It offers credit card processing, pay by text, cashless ATM, and point of banking services.

The company is also looking into additional acquisition options. It is planning to acquire a technology-driven delivery company and another that provides solar solutions to commercial cannabis growers. It has a presence in the solar industry in parts of Arizona, Texas, and southeast New York. In addition to payment processing, mobile messaging services are available, so companies can reach out to mobile subscribers with deals, coupons, and other notifications via SMS.

SEC Issues Temporary Suspension in Trading Shares of First Bitcoin Capital (BITCF)

The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a temporary trading suspension of First Bitcoin Capital Corp. (OTC: BITCF) shares because of concerns about the accuracy and adequacy of public information on the Canadian company.

The order took effect at 9:30 a.m. EDT last Thursday and terminates at 11:59 a.m. on September 7, 2017. The SEC cited concerns about the company, including the value of BITCF’s assets and its capital structure, in a news release accompanying the suspension order.

Shares of First Bitcoin Capital are traded over-the-counter and were last trading at $1.79 per share, according to Bloomberg. Shares had risen almost 7,000 percent this year prior to the suspension order. By contrast, the S&P 500 is up nine percent during the same time period.

“The Commission cautions broker-dealers, shareholders, and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by the company,” the SEC noted in its statement.

First Bitcoin Capital management issued a notice to shareholders downplaying the 10-day suspension.

“The company has retained competent SEC counsel to work with the SEC to learn of any concerns beyond the over exuberant market for our shares such as our disclosures of assets and capital structure,” the company stated in its shareholder letter. “We believe that there is likely a misunderstanding or a simple clarification necessary and that it would have been better for the SEC to ask us for this information before taking such drastic action.”

According to its website, First Bitcoin Capital is a publicly-traded Canadian company engaged in various digital cryptocurrency-related business lines. It holds proprietary blockchain technologies and operates a digital currency exchange.

Additional products to be marketed by the company are expected to include a 1-1 THC/CBD drop, a high THC dropper and a high CBD dropper. ABcann expects to release additional product details in the coming weeks.

About ABcann Global Corporation

ABcann Global Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, ABcann Medicinals Inc., was one of the first companies to obtain a production license under the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, which it received on March 21, 2014. It obtained a sales license on December 31, 2015. ABcann’s flagship facility in Napanee, Ontario utilizes proprietary plant-growing technology, including environmentally-controlled chambers capable of monitoring and regulating all variables in the growing process. This approach and the systems in place allow ABcann to produce organically grown and pesticide-free, high-yielding plants, which, in turn, can generate high-quality products that are consistent from batch to batch. ABcann is able to control environmental and nutrient demands, tailor-made for a particular strain of cannabis, without the variation that is typical when producing large quantities in less-controlled, larger rooms and greenhouse-type structures. ABcann’s modular approach to systems technology eliminates scale-up risk and allows ABcann to locate anywhere in the world and maintain consistency and quality of product.

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Algae Dynamics Corp. (ADYNF) Poised to Profit from Impending Recreational Cannabis Legalization

Cannabis is America’s fastest-growing industry, predicted by Forbes to grow as much as 700 percent by the year 2020. Canada-based Algae Dynamics Corp. (OTCQB: ADYNF) is working to exploit a niche market in Canada’s cannabis space as the Canadian government works to implement blanket legalization of marijuana by 2018. As noted in a recent NNW article:

“Algae Dynamics is focused on the extraction of oils from hemp, cannabis and algae for use in unique health products and pharmaceuticals. The company has already engaged two highly respected universities to provide research into the various uses of cannabis and hemp oil extracts, which, in combination with other compounds, may prove effective in treating cancers of the colon-rectum, pancreas, breast and prostate, as well as for the development of novel pharmacotherapies for various mental health maladies. With medical marijuana already legal in Canada, Algae Dynamics is carving out a lucrative niche in an explosive market and is positioned to succeed. However, the legalization of recreational marijuana could propel the company far beyond what one would normally expect.”

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Disruptive Process Pioneered by Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) Creates Superior Cannabis Edibles

Common complaints among consumers of cannabis edibles include the presence an unpleasant taste, but this and other inadequacies are being overcome through the innovations of Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP). Lexaria’s disruptive process masks the unpleasant taste of cannabis, and the company’s lipophilic enhancement technology also changes the way cannabinoids enter the body while significantly speeding up the timeframe in which THC’s effects are felt and increasing bio-absorption by as much as tenfold. As noted in a recent NNW article:

“Because cannabinoids are absorbed poorly by the gastrointestinal tract, many cannabis users turn to other administration routes, like smoking, for greater effectiveness. Lexaria’s proprietary technology for better delivery of bioactive compounds solves the problem of poor absorption, increasing the bio-absorption of cannabis edibles by between five and tenfold. The effects of the THC from an edible product created using Lexaria’s patented process are also felt much more quickly—taking effect within 15-20 minutes as opposed to one to two hours. The possibilities enabled by Lexaria’s technology are multifold and exciting. For instance, excessive amounts of sugar have previously had to be included in cannabis edibles to mask the unwanted taste, but because Lexaria’s technology eliminates that undesirable flavor, zero-sugar formats are now possible for cannabinoid edibles.”

About Lexaria

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. has developed and out-licenses its disruptive technology that promotes healthier ingestion methods, lower overall dosing and higher effectiveness of lipophilic active molecules. Lexaria has multiple patents pending in over 40 countries around the world and was granted its first patents in the USA and in Australia related to edible forms of cannabinoids. Lexaria’s technology provides increases in intestinal absorption rates; more rapid delivery to the bloodstream; and important taste-masking benefits, for orally administered bioactive molecules including cannabinoids, vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nicotine and other molecules.

Lexaria Bioscience’s (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) Revolutionary Process Creates Superior Cannabinoid Edibles

• 19 patent applications filed in the United States and internationally (under the Patent Cooperation Treaty), with national filings in 44 countries
• Collaborative research and development agreement with Canada’s National Research Council to investigate opportunities associated with bioavailability enhancement of certain compounds, including those in cannabinoids, vitamins, NSAIDs and nicotine
• Out-licenses its patented technology to third party partners, with several deals signed or pending

When Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) researchers tackled the issue facing consumers of edible cannabinoids – poor absorption of the product’s bioactive compounds by the body’s gastrointestinal tract – an important statement led the way: bioavailability matters. The company realized that if hemp oil ingredients were infused within lipids found in popular foods, the common problems of bad taste, poor absorption in the body and lack of product variety could be solved.

Lexaria has since developed a superior method of lipid-delivery technology through a patented process that does this by infusing the beneficial elements of hemp oil to lipid molecules. Lexaria reminds consumers that it is not mixing hemp oil into a product; it is infusing organically sourced, high purity hemp oil inside the molecules of other ingredients to produce superior tasting and performing food and beverages, including premium teas, protein energy bars and hemp oil capsules formulated with ginseng and ginkgo for enhanced memory and focus.

Additionally, this technologically superior method of delivery is being considered for other products in demand by consumers, namely nicotine-based products. Lexaria’s method could remove many of the dangerous side effects of nicotine, although the patented molecular delivery technology for this product remains in its early stages (http://dtn.fm/c2VCP).

Lexaria is also seeking patents to use its lipophilic enhancement technology for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other psychoactive cannabinoids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen), nicotine and other molecules. New business-to-business relationships are on the horizon in the fields of vitamins, NSAIDs and nicotine delivery.

ABcann Global Corp. (TSX.V: ABCN) (OTCQB: ABCCF) Licensed to Grow Cannabis by Feds in Canada

• An early mover in the Canadian cannabis space
• Serving Canada’s most populous province
• New funding deal signed for $15 million at $2.25 per share

As befits its status as a first mover in the Canadian cannabis space, ABcann Global Corp. (TSX.V: ABCN) (OTCQB: ABCCF) is racing ahead with plans to supply the medical marijuana needs of Canada’s most populous province. Construction plans at its Kimmett facility in the third quarter of 2017 remain on schedule, and the previously announced plans for a 71,000 square foot phase 1 project have been expanded to 100,000 square feet. The company recently signed a funding deal that prices the business well above market valuation. It appears that ABcann is one MMJ outfit that the smart money is betting on.

ABcann was one of the earliest players to apply for a cannabis grower’s license in Canada, which was granted in March 2014, well before the current Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) were implemented on August 24, 2016. That early start has advanced ABcann much further along the learning curve than subsequent licensees. In addition, having worked in collaboration with the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, to study the growing process, ABcann’s expertise is superior to most other LPs. It has developed state-of-the-art growing technology that produces high yields and consistency in its produce as it scales up. Also, somewhat like in retail, where location is a major determinant of success, ABcann’s location is fortuitous. Its operations are situated in Canada’s most populous province of Ontario, which, with 13.5 million people, accounts for close to 40 percent of Canada’s total population.

Knowledge of the growing process is particularly important if a licensed producer is going to scale up successfully. An essential requirement of medical marijuana is consistency. The product must be relied on to deliver a standardized quantity and quality of active ingredients every time it’s taken. Imagine the peril to patients of undergoing prescribed regimens of a medication with psychoactive properties where the dosages vary randomly.

Quality is obviously a crucial issue and, indeed, was one of the reasons that ABcann was founded by Ken Clement. ABcann’s mission, he has said, is “to deliver consistent, standardized medicinal cannabis that the public and patients can consistently rely on” (http://dtn.fm/wGg26). Now, ABcann is able to produce an organically grown, pesticide-free, standardized product with a growing system that controls air quality, carbon dioxide and oxygen levels, water quality and volume, light spectrum and cycles, temperature and humidity, plant nutrition and the curing process.

Earlier this month, ABcann announced completion of the initial funding phase of its partnership with Cannabis Wheaton (TSX.V: CBW). Under the deal, CBW has purchased $15 million worth of ABcann common shares at $2.25 per share. The cash forms part of a larger phased investment by Cannabis Wheaton that is expected to fund an additional 50,000 square feet of production space, capable of producing 35,000 kilograms of product per year, at ABcann’s second facility. This expansion comes alongside ABcann’s existing construction plans for a 100,000 square foot facility at its Kimmett property in Napanee, Ontario.

Since debuting on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange at $1.00, ABcann stock has traded down a little, but, as recent events indicate, it may be a diamond in the rough. The Cannabis Wheaton deal valued the stock, which currently trades at C$0.87, at $2.25.

Bollente Companies, Inc. (BOLC) Tankless Water Heaters Gain Ground in Robust Housing Construction Market

• About 1,175,000 residential projects were completed in July, according to the U.S. Census Bureau
• Bollente’s trutankless water heaters are 99 percent efficient and provide hot water all the time
• The systems can run maintenance-free for 20 years or more, reducing demand on landfills

The U.S. housing construction market remained robust in July 2017. A seasonal adjusted rate of 1,223,000 for building permits was reported for the month, and privately-owned housing starts were adjusted to 1,155,000. There were 1,175,000 housing completions for private residences, according to the United States Census Bureau (http://dtn.fm/w6ZO3). Construction trends of energy efficient, water saving multi-family dwellings in warm climates are fueling the demand for tankless water heaters like the revolutionary trutankless line from Bollente Companies, Inc. (OTC: BOLC). This comes as an estimated 57 percent of traditional U.S. water heaters are close to or have surpassed their expected age of failure.

The trutankless water heater line from Bollente is more compact and efficient than traditional heaters. It takes adherence to U.S. Department of Energy regulations further by eliminating a tank altogether. The agency requires tanks of 55+ gallons to achieve efficiency rates that require expensive heat pumps. The sensors in Bollente’s electric tankless water heaters keep water at a constant temperature. Efficiency is also maintained by solid state electronics and proprietary software.

Homeowners can monitor and control their water heaters remotely, and even manage and be alerted via smartphone. Wireless apps are available to set the system, monitor all parameters, and receive notifications on a phone from anywhere. Custom settings for power help to achieve even better efficiency and performance. trutankless heaters can also be connected to smart grid and home automation systems. In fact, they are 99 percent efficient, providing hot water at all times but using less energy than tank heaters.

The tankless water heaters also have a self-flushing system and can remain maintenance free for 20 years or more. Therefore, the costs of upkeep are low, and one does not have to worry about replacing the system for quite some time. Millions of old water heaters are dumped into landfills each year. The long-lasting systems from Bollente can help reduce the strain on the environment by keeping reliable, efficient tankless water heaters in homes longer, where they serve a functional purpose that people can depend upon over the long term.

The company is serving a housing market concentrated in warmer areas, in a nation where over eight million water headers are sold. This is important from an investment standpoint, in that the vast majority of building starts and permits cited earlier also represent an extremely high concentration in southern and western regions. Not only does the technology satisfy an increasing demand. It offers competitive pricing for a product that offers annual energy expenditures well below technologies such as conventional electric or gas storage and comparable to solar electric-backup systems.

The company’s industry partnerships for the trutankless line are an important growth driver and include the largest national and regional plumbing equipment distributors across the nation, as well as first-time partnerships with leading national service companies like Mr. Rooter. The international sale of trutankless systems is being managed through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Bollente International, Inc. Outside the U.S., the demand is high in places like Asia, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, where homeowners are seeing the economic value of tankless water heater systems. The result has been significant growth, with total revenue for the last four quarters markedly outpacing total revenue of the previous four quarters.
