QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Algae Dynamics Corp. (ADYNF) Collaborative Study Yields Possible Breakthrough in Reversing Mental Illness Symptoms Resulting from Adolescent Cannabis Use

Algae Dynamics Corp. (OTCQB: ADYNF), a company engaged in developing unique health products and pharmaceuticals that utilize hemp, cannabis and algae oils, is making international news through its current collaboration with the University of Western Ontario (now rebranded as Western University). A recent study conducted collaboratively between the two entities and globally reported (http://dtn.fm/qDG3M) has found that the negative effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-rich marijuana on the adolescent brain can be reversed through the use of compounds that increase the amounts of GABA, which is a chemical and neurotransmitter in the brain. An article further discussing this reads: “THC exposure reduced the GABA in the brain, the study found. GABA regulates hyperactivity in the brain and has been associated with disorders such as schizophrenia. Negative effects developed later in adulthood from use of marijuana with THC include anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. Drugs that increase the amount of GABA could then reverse the impact of THC and eliminate the schizophrenia-linked symptoms, the research found. ‘We actually went in, and tried to restore the GABA system by activating GABA receptors directly in the prefrontal cortex,’ Western University Professor Steven Laviolette, who spearheaded the research study, said on the Andrew Lawton radio show in Canada (http://dtn.fm/oAw93). ‘To our amazement, we found that this reversed those schizophrenia-like symptoms,’ he added in an interview with CBC London. He explained that the reversal process can still remain effective many years after the exposure.”

AppSwarm, Inc. (SWRM) Aims to Increase Share of the Global Apps and Games Market


  • AppSwarm helps build, market and sell applications through mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships and various other agreements
  • The company is aiming for $6-7 million in revenue by FY 2018, tapping into the nearly $100 billion global games market
  • The app market hit $1.3 trillion in 2016, and AppSwarm’s agreements with major app stores can help developers get to market sooner

In 2016, the global games market generated nearly $100 billion in revenue. AppSwarm, Inc. (OTC: SWRM) has built a business model that enables it to work with application developers and entrepreneurs who are great at creating ideas, but need a helping hand with marketing their products. AppSwarm has the financial resources to assist small application development firms and young entrepreneurs. It employs many strategies, depending on the individual business relationship. The firm has grown through acquisitions and by entering joint ventures and partnerships, royalty agreements and stock purchase agreements.

The company recently announced that it is striving for $6-7 million in revenue by FY2018 (http://dtn.fm/7HDlc). A strong presence in the business, e-commerce, and general games market can help it get there. AppSwarm has structured its model to cater to historically profitable software developers that show growth potential. Merging with such companies, even small developers, gives them the needed financial resources, marketing tools and business management assistance to further their products.

A unique business model is centered on what the company calls the “Swarm.” This process focuses on engagement and retention, the performance of target applications and developers, and a monetization model. Four key revenue streams are implemented. The company is strongly involved in completing the concept and development phase and conducting all necessary functions to get the product on the market. It provides direct sales services as well. Together, these service offerings allow for the incubation of apps from ideation to sale to the end user.

AppSwarm is also active in social game development, both internally and through redeveloping existing apps. Other revenue streams include casino and movie-themed role-playing applications, but the company has also profited by partnering with many different entities, offering financial, operations and marketing resources and expertise. Providing cost-efficient processes to its partners and clients has made SWRM a viable choice for developers looking to give their products a boost.

The app market reached $1.3 trillion in 2016, according to App Annie. Expected to grow substantially over the next few years, the app market is extremely volatile and includes almost every product and service sector. Purchases such as Urban Bamboo Designs, a business serving environmentally conscious consumers looking for quality, stylish products, and VR World, a maker of virtual reality and augmented reality applications, have enabled SWRM to tap into lucrative revenue streams. It has even entered the business applications segment, thanks to a PDF document scanner that works with iPhones and iPads.

An ability to expedite development, financing, creation, and marketing and sales is allowing the company to tap into the large and growing global app market. Agreements with major app stores are in place. AppSwarm can therefore fast track applications so developers can launch their software, satisfy demand in key niches and turn a profit without extended wait periods. The agreements SWRM is capable of managing are enabling it to rapidly increase its presence in the global market.

Bowser Small Cap Stocks Grew 2.6% for Week Ended September 22, Outperforming Major Indices


  • Leading the way was InfuSystem Holdings (NYSE MKT: INFU), which grew 23%
  • Russell 2000 Index increased 1.3%, faster than other major indices
  • Second week in a row Bowser Stocks surged higher

Bowser small cap stocks grew 2.6% for the week ended September 22, outperforming major indices, according to The Bowser Report Weekly. InfuSystem Holdings (NYSE MKT: INFU) led the way, growing 23% for the week. Ironically, INFU was the single biggest loser the prior week, with The Bowser Report Weekly attributing that selloff to an increase in volatility. The company provides infusion pumps and related services to medical facilities.

It was the second week in a row that Bowser Stocks showed growth. The Russell 2000 index grew at a 1.3% rate, outperforming the major indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) grew just 0.4%, and the S&P 500 was up only 0.1%. The report said that smaller stocks are exhibiting relative strength for the one-month period. It expects, though, a loss of growth momentum at a historical supply zone.

The second biggest gainer was Nova Lifestyle (NASDAQ: NVFY), which showed 18% growth. That stock is now up 54% from its 52-week low. The company earlier announced in a press release that it was receiving an award and also expecting growth in the fourth quarter, driven by new product launches and an increase in consumer demand. It is a California-based consumer furniture manufacturer.

For the week, 32 Bowser stocks showed growth and only 11 were in the red. The report added that gold experienced a sharp pullback for the week due to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The report attributed that to a Federal Reserve decision to leave interest rates unchanged.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) Tech Discussed at “Cannabis in the Capital Markets” Event


  • Clinical studies of TurboCBD™ a topic of discussion at Canadian Securities Exchange-sponsored “Cannabis in the Capital Markets” event
  • Patents cover variety of lipophilic bio-actives, including cannabinoids, nicotine and vitamins
  • Growing portfolio of intellectual property includes 19 patents filed across 44 countries

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP), through its proprietary technology for delivering bioactive compounds in lipid formulations, offers licensed partners the ability to include cannabidiol (CBD) in a variety of ingestible products appropriate for medical patients and recreational users alike. In a new report, Grand View Research, Inc., states that the global market for medical cannabis alone is expected to reach a stunning $55.8 billion by 2025 (http://dtn.fm/RfL4n). An increasing interest in the therapeutic value of cannabinoids, especially those delivered in products that can be ingested and not smoked, is one of the main forces driving the market forward, per the report.

Lexaria’s pioneering TurboCBD ™ product presents a revolutionary way to enhance absorption of the benefits CBD provides without having to endure the often unpleasant flavors associated with cannabis compounds. Lexaria’s technology is patent-protected for cannabidiol (CBD) and all other non-psychoactive cannabinoids, with patents pending for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and other psychoactive cannabinoids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nicotine and additional molecules.

Dr. Philip Ainsle of the University of British Columbia (UBC) is the principal investigator of Lexaria’s first clinical study of the high-absorption properties of TurboCBD™. The study will evaluate the effects of TurboCBD™ on the cognitive function and cardiovascular health of human volunteers. Dr. Ainsle, co-director of the Centre for Heart, Lung and Vascular Health at the UBC Okanagan Campus in Kelowna, Canada, presented a project update at the Canadian Securities Exchange-sponsored “Cannabis in the Capital Markets” event on September 27 (http://dtn.fm/GV8iN). Lexaria representatives are also scheduled to speak in October at the Southwest Cannabis Conference and Expo in Phoenix, Arizona.

As a business-to-business enterprise, Lexaria’s reach extends to companies located in Canada, several large market states in the U.S., and internationally. An 18-month co-funded research project is underway with Canada’s National Research Council to investigate opportunities associated with bioavailability enhancement of lipophilic active agents – including those within cannabinoids, vitamins, NSAIDs and nicotine. Results from this study could provide Lexaria with a chemical or physical “fingerprint” that could help to identify Lexaria’s technology at work in consumer products.

Lexaria’s technology is capable of helping companies lower costs while providing the best consumer benefit possible. Several third-party partners have signed deals, letters of intent or memorandums of understanding to utilize Lexaria’s proprietary technology for both THC and CBD products where allowed by law. Lexaria and its partners are targeting markets in Canada, the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Mexico and more. Lexaria’s royalty revenue model includes a range of between five and 10 percent of gross sales.

As a bioscience technology disruptor for edible cannabinoids, Lexaria has several branded CBD products available, including protein energy bars, CBD tablets that contain zero sugar, premium teas and TurboCBD ™ in a high absorption, full spectrum hemp oil capsule. Led by CEO Chris Bunka, Lexaria’s management team includes professionals with extensive experience in pharmaceutical and bioscience sectors, invention, toxicology, consumer goods and other relevant skill sets.

Luxury Utah Home for Sale Now for a Mere $2.9 Million in Bitcoin

Bitcoin, the digital currency at the center of some trade volatility after the Chinese government issued its clamp down order on the cryptocurrency, is surviving nicely, as prices rose above the $4,100-mark on Thursday. Believers in the virtual currency say that, in spite of several indications that government regulations are going to be part of its future, there are plenty of opportunities to use bitcoin now to purchase tangible assets.

Case in point – if you happen to have $2.9 million in bitcoin lying around in your virtual wallet, you could use it to buy a luxury, 5,000-square-foot, seven bedroom, 4.5-bath house situated next door to Robert Redford’s home in gorgeous Sundance, Utah, according to the Salt Lake Tribune (http://dtn.fm/6AScf). Kevin Adell, a media mogel who runs a religious broadcasting network headquartered in Michigan, placed his Sundance property on the market the conventional way but didn’t get any takers. So, now, he’s offering to take bitcoin – and a lot of them.

Based on Thursday’s market valuation, one bitcoin is worth $4,189.42, which translates into approximately 693 bitcoin for the mansion. Adell, whose home is advertised as a “river house” on bitcoin-realestate.com (http://dtn.fm/f2A2e), says a title company has been lined up to convert the digital currency into cash.

“We’ll look for a buyer who has accumulated bitcoins when they were worth $1,” Adell is quoted in the article. “Now that they’re worth $4,000, they can convert them into a tangible asset. This opens a market for those people.”

Bitcoin investors who don’t have quite that much can still find plenty of companies accepting bitcoin as payment for goods. Among the more well-known companies accepting the cryptocurrency are Microsoft, Reddit, Virgin Galactic, OkCupid, Expedia, Newegg.com, Steam (an online desktop gaming platform), the Libertarian Party, and Overstock.com. There are also plenty of smaller companies dipping their marketing toes into the cryptocurrency world by advertising their willingness to accept bitcoin (http://dtn.fm/2iweN).

Fidelity Investments, one of the world’s largest investment firms with $2.3 trillion in managed assets, said Thursday that the company has made several venture investments in bitcoin-related businesses. Fidelity’s chief executive, Abigail Johnson, said the firm is also looking at applications of blockchain technologies as it works with several leading universities (http://dtn.fm/wA5qe). Johnson, who is said to be a huge proponent of the digital currency, spoke publicly about Fidelity’s ventures into cryptocurrency earlier this year at Consensus, a bitcoin-themed conference in New York.

Bitcoin’s status as a top news maker will continue as regulation legalizing bitcoin exchanges comes online on October 1 in Japan. Following China’s recent ban on bitcoin exchanges, Japan has become the world’s largest bitcoin exchange market. Part-time Sundance resident Adell will be one of many people closely watching what happens as numerous nations around the globe begin to consider regulating bitcoin and other digital currencies.

  • Canopy Growth would license and exclusively sell certain Skinvisible Pharmaceutical topical products in Canada while having first rights to market those products in all countries except China and the U.S.
  • Skinvisible to develop Invisicare® technology hemp-based products to be sold under license by Canopy Hemp Corporation in Canada

Canopy shall have the first right of refusal to do the same for all other countries, except for China and the United States.

The agreement concerns Skinvisible’s two distinct product lines made of Invisicare® technology. Skinvisible will create unique topical hemp-based products to be launched by Canopy Hemp Corporation in Canada.

Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals is a R&D company that licenses its proprietary formulations made with Invisicare® in topically-applied products. Those products are designed to hold active ingredients on the skin for extended time periods, allowing for controlled release of actives.

Canopy Growth is the leader and innovator in the cannabis space with over half a million feet of GMP-certified cannabis cultivation, a robust hemp operation, multiple commercialized brands in Canada, and rapid international expansion and partnerships underway including Germany, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Denmark and Spain.”

  • CIIX is pursuing the $7.2 billion legal cannabis market with hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) products; CIIX showed a 76% year-over-year operating revenues gain in FY2017
  • Dickman previously served as CFO from 2010-2016; Warren Wang, CIIX’s CEO, said Dickman will “build an infrastructure that supports long-term growth”
  • CIIX has plans to launch a hemp-based line of skin care products in China by year-end 2017 and is already marketing a line of hemp-infused cannabidiol products, “OptHemp,” through its U.S. subsidiary

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) announced in an 8K SEC filing (http://dtn.fm/Sd9Dy) that Paul Dickman has returned as its chief financial officer, effective September 25, 2017.

Global Payout, Inc. (GOHE) CEO Discusses Innovative FINTECH Company’s Past, Present and Future


  • Innovative Global Reserve Platform enables seamless international payments
  • “Banking in a box” Global Reserve Platform provides full front-to-back office processing for banks
  • Solutions serve the global logistics industry, high-risk sectors and more

In a recent interview (http://dtn.fm/S87yv) with NetworkNewsWire, Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) CEO James Hancock detailed where the innovative payment solutions company has been, where it is now, and where it plans to be in the future.

Global Payout is a frontrunner in the FINTECH revolution (http://dtn.fm/B8cnL), offering versatile and innovative solutions for domestic and international organizations distributing money on a global scale. The company’s solutions include a cutting-edge “banking in a box” fintech payment system designed for online and mobile applications. This Global Reserve Platform solution enables account holders to maximize a full array of financial services while reducing operational costs.

This FINTECH system was built on the foundation of Global Payout’s original online payment platform, the Consolidated Payment Gateway (CPG). Introduced in 2014, the CPG made it possible for enterprise clients to transfer money to international bank accounts, mobile accounts and prepaid card accounts.

Global Payout’s origins date back to 2009, when it was founded as a prepaid card company, as Hancock explains in the interview. As Global Payout began dealing with international companies, it was realized that international connections were needed to properly serve them. Global Payout was obliged to go outside of the United States to acquire international issuing banks, as well as Visa and MasterCard.

Company leaders realized that while prepaid cards were good, what the world needed was a platform that enabled the movement of money to bank accounts in particular countries. Businesses were in need of an immediate and more responsive means of paying certain employees than was afforded by prepaid cards.

Rising to the occasion, Global Payout began developing the CPG to meet business-to-business needs rather than business-to-consumer. The platform enabled businesses to quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively make payments to employees and other individuals who lived outside the United States. Subsequent enhancements to the CPG have resulted in Global Payout’s Global Reserve Platform, which has integrated bank networks worldwide and, thereby, simplified the process of transferring money between businesses on an international scale.

This web-based platform:


  • Has provisions for blockchain technology within virtual currency markets, including bitcoin
  • Adopts 26 foreign languages at present
  • Performs currency exchange on a global level
  • Offers KYC compliance for all account holders and merchants

As Global Payout continues to grow, its efforts to identify the most profitable business segments have also increased. Current primary targets for the company include:


  • Logistics and shipping
  • International travel companies
  • Banks
  • Small to medium-sized businesses
  • The cryptocurrency and marijuana industries

A lack of fast and cost-effective payment options for companies in these industries opens the way for Global Payout to experience great success. The response from logistics leaders, for instance, has been exceptional. The efficacy of the Global Reserve Platform as a solution for supply chain companies is illustrated by a licensing agreement Global Payout recently signed with Cagney Global Logistics. Global Payout is also in negotiations with commercial banks, cannabis enterprises and entities in the cryptocurrency market.

Petroteq Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PQE) (OTCQX: PQEFF) Boasts Oil Sands Technology that Could Make Tailings Ponds Passé


  • Versatile extraction process applicable to both water-wet and oil-wet sands
  • Green technology will save wildlife
  • Closed loop technology uses less water than traditional open loop processes

Tailings ponds, despite an innocuous name that makes them sound like an amusement park feature, are anything but amusing. They are as potentially treacherous as serpents hidden in the grass and remain so only because news reporting on their alarming threat has been scant. Containing mammoth quantities of residual toxic sludge, tailings ponds scar the landscapes already disturbed by the oil-sands industry. As if to highlight their destruction, many in Alberta, the hub of Canada’s industry, are decorated with bizarre orange anthropomorphic figures. These scarecrows are a feeble attempt to keep birds away. Many do not and perish slowly, ensnared by the paralyzing paste. Nevertheless, the peril to the environment posed by tailings ponds may soon abate. Petroteq Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PQE) (OTCQX: PQEFF) has developed a unique, environmentally-safe, continuous flow, closed loop technology – a first in North America and probably in the world – that is likely to make tailings ponds for oil sands a relic of the past.

A tailings pond is a wet storage area for the unwanted residual material or ‘tailings’ left behind after mining and extracting resources, such as bitumen from oil sands. Tailings ponds allow the tailings to be continuously submerged, although some tailings can be ‘dry covered’ under soil. They are usually engineered structures but, in some instances, natural bodies of water have been turned into such dumps, which altogether ‘now cover 176 square kilometres and hold enough liquid to fill the equivalent of 390,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools’, according to the Toronto Star (http://dtn.fm/BCll2). CBC News has reported on a Canadian government federal study of 2014 that found ‘Alberta’s oil sands are polluting ground water and seeping into the Athabasca River’ (http://dtn.fm/z3eZ2). The extraction process developed by Petroteq could put an end to all that, since the technology is closed loop.

Petroteq Energy is focused on the development and implementation of proprietary technologies for the environmentally safe extraction of heavy oils from oil sands, oil shale deposits and shallow oil deposits, and, so, its oil-sands extraction technology does not require tailings ponds. The only elements that ever leave the closed-loop system are the extracted crude oil and the cleaned sands, which can be placed back in the earth or sold as clean sand for construction or fracking purposes.

This extraction technology is the result of almost five years of research by Petroteq’s research and engineering teams, headed up by the company’s chief technology officer, Dr. Vladimir Podlipskiy, well known for his work with benign solvents. During this time, Petroteq has gradually enhanced and improved the efficiencies of its technology at each stage of fabrication with better dryer/mixer components and a higher consistency of oil sands flow. The extraction technology is versatile; it can be effectively applied to both “water-wet” deposits, such as the oil sands in Alberta, Canada, or “oil-wet” deposits, such as the resources typically found in Utah.

It also solves the water problem. Processing oil sands requires large volumes of water, ‘about 3 barrels of fresh water to produce one barrel of oil’, according to Oil Sands Magazine (http://dtn.fm/qH4II). This poses a particular challenge to western U.S. states like Utah, which are relatively arid. Petroteq’s extraction technology utilizes no water in the extraction process. It also produces no greenhouse gases and requires no high temperatures or pressures. In addition, the technology extracts up to 99 percent of all hydrocarbon content and recycles almost all the benign solvents. This certainly looks like technology that could protect the environment and the droves of geese, ducks, swans, and other species that cannot tell the difference between a tailings pond and a sparkling spring.

  • Reverse stock split is positioned to attract institutional investors to provide funding for company’s vision of becoming a leading biotechnology firm in the cannabis industry

EVIO, Inc. (OTCQB: SGBYD) has changed its name from Signal Bay, Inc. and also announced a reverse stock split (http://dtn.fm/Set9Z). The life science company will also have a new ticker symbol, EVIO, effective October 3, 2017, pending approval.

InMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CSE: IN) (OTCQB: IMLFF) Targets Specific Diseases with its Proprietary Biotechnologies


  • Provisional patent application protects unique process yielding pharmaceutical grade, bio-identical cannabinoids
  • Proprietary research allows production of synthetic cannabinoids for therapeutic use with certain diseases
  • Early stage clinical trials are expected to begin in 2018 for a drug targeting a rare children’s skin disorder

Imagine having a painful disease that causes your skin to blister at the slightest minor injury. Even just scratching an itch or accidentally rubbing against a rough object could cause peeling blisters and acute suffering. Epidermolysis bullosa, a genetic connective tissue disorder that affects roughly one out of every 20,000 births in the United States, currently has no approved treatments, according to the Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association of America. Researchers at InMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CSE: IN) (OTCQB: IMLFF), however, hope to treat this unmet medical need with a topical drug called INM-750 that includes multiple biosynthesized cannabinoids as its active ingredients.

Vancouver, Canada-based InMed Pharmaceuticals is a preclinical biotech company that specializes in developing novel drug therapies by manufacturing cannabinoids with the potential to have a therapeutic effect on specific diseases. The company’s biosynthesis platform works by inserting the plant’s DNA into E. coli bacteria that has the internal ability to manufacture specific cannabinoid compounds.

Couple this approach with a proprietary bioinformatics data assessment tool created by InMed Pharmaceuticals, and the possibilities are endless. In its corporate presentation, the company details the potential benefits of biosynthesis of cannabinoids as wide-ranging, noting that the procedure could enable enhanced quality control and purification while unlocking the minor cannabinoids that are currently too difficult and expensive to produce and study (http://dtn.fm/p2h5Y).

Glaucoma, one of the world’s leading causes of blindness, is another life-changing disease that InMed’s proprietary research is zeroing in on. InMed’s INM-085 biosynthesized, topical glaucoma treatment will be the first of its kind – utilizing numerous cannabinoids for optimal efficacy as it treats the affected eye’s cells and optic nerve tissues. The company projects the potential revenue for these two drugs alone at $6 billion a year (http://dtn.fm/MvG2I).

But there are other, equally devastating diseases that InMed Pharmaceutical researchers propose targeting in their quest to biosynthesize therapeutic drugs from cannabis and other botanical sources. Rheumatoid arthritis, epilepsy, asthma and diabetes are some of the more well-known names. The benefits of using InMed’s proprietary biosynthesis procedure to manufacture any of the 90-plus identified cannabinoids in marijuana reads like a wish list for investors:


  • There are significant cost savings versus the traditional method of growing thousands of plants and then extracting cannabinoids
  • Quality control, which includes enhanced production and purification, means a superior, standardized product
  • InMed’s comprehensive database uses a bioinformatics platform to select specific cannabinoid combinations that may help treat targeted diseases
  • Preclinical formulation of therapy drugs this year will lead to expected clinical trials in 2018

Leading research estimates set the 2016 legal cannabis market in North America anywhere from $6.7 billion to $7.2 billion. Growth projections are also “off the charts,” as a stunning compound annual sales growth rate of 25 percent is expected through 2021, and a $50 billion global market is considered possible by 2025 (http://dtn.fm/2kPMv).

Looking ahead, InMed Pharmaceuticals President and CEO Eric A. Adams said he believes the company’s technology will have a huge impact on the booming cannabis industry.

“When I saw the technology that InMed has, I knew right away that it was going to be something big,” Adams said in a recent interview published in MERRY JANE, an online resource for news, culture and video covering cannabis. “The science behind the company is a real game changer (http://dtn.fm/Yt7UT).”

In a move to strengthen the company’s core, InMed has also retained the consulting services of Ben Paterson, P.E., who will assist in defining the pathway for the scale-up, purification and manufacturing strategies for the company’s cannabinoid biosynthesis program. Patterson is a principal consultant at PatersonChemE Consulting, LLC.

Paterson has nearly four decades of experience in developing pharmaceutical manufacturing and purification processes. He previously spent 37 years with Eli Lilly and Company as a senior engineering advisor, including 24 years in the biosynthesis division. His expertise includes first defining processes in the lab, then scaling up to pilot and commercial scale.

“Mr. Paterson brings significant experience in all facets of biosynthesis manufacturing and facility design,” Adams said in a news release announcing Paterson’s appointment (http://dtn.fm/18EUn). “His expertise directing complex capital projects, overseeing facilities and equipment, and interfacing with various stakeholders will be a significant asset to InMed.”

AppSwarm, Inc. (SWRM) Continues to Support the Games People Play as a Business Accelerator


  • At least 150 million Americans play games
  • Business accelerator for mobile app developers
  • Footprint in the mammoth video games market

With the latest Entertainment Software Association (ESA) report revealing that half of America plays video games, the excitement surrounding AppSwarm, Inc.’s (OTC: SWRM) foray into the industry appears to be based on very robust rationales. AppSwarm is a business accelerator focused on acquiring software applications for all forms of devices. The company actively pursues partnerships with software development companies that exhibit historical profitability and growth capability. Leveraging its resources in capital, management, marketing and product development, AppSwarm is able to add value to the collaboration. Now with a portfolio of entertainment software apps, AppSwarm is showing it’s ahead of the game in what continues to be a highly lucrative industry.

When psychiatrist Eric Berne wrote in 1964 about the “Games People Play,” giving an account of his study into the psychology of human relationships, it was apparent that he must have glimpsed into the extent to which games provide comfort and a sense of identity. Largely addressed to adults, Berne’s work was a reminder of how naturally we take to games; nothing is as easy as child’s play. These inclinations do not fall away quickly. The average age of the video game player is not some teenage number, but 35, and more women 18 years and over play video games than boys under the age of 18, according to the ESA 2017 report (http://dtn.fm/57oPL).

Again, contrary to public perception, only about one-quarter of gamers are under 18; most gamers are adults. In all, ‘more than 150 million Americans play video games, and 65 percent of American households are home to at least one person who plays video games regularly, or at least three hours per week,’ As will be expected, the economic consequences of the games people play are considerable. ‘In 2016, the industry sold over 24.5 billion games and generated more than $30.4 billion in revenue. Total game sales included purchases of digital content such as online subscriptions, downloadable content, mobile applications, and social networking games.’ Overall, ‘computer and video game companies provided jobs to more than 220,000 people in 50 states.’

With such a huge demand for games, developers are hard pressed to get their creations to market and often rely on accelerators like AppSwarm. Sometimes confused with business incubators, business accelerators are an entirely different animal. While incubators focus on getting ideas off the ground, an accelerator helps a business that’s already running run better. As this piece in Inc. explains (http://dtn.fm/Mc9tb), ‘while incubators help companies stand and walk, accelerators teach companies to run.’ AppSwarm targets businesses that have not only a promising future, but also a good past.

AppSwarm employs a proprietary screening process, called the Swarm, to select the companies with which it would like to work. These collaborations can take one of several forms: stock purchase agreements, royalty agreements, joint ventures, partnerships or acquisitions. The company offers complete, end-to-end services for mobile application development across all major platforms, including Apple iPhone, RIM’s BlackBerry, Google’s Android, and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile, and it has agreements in place with all of the major application stores. AppSwarm will act as a partner to increase marketing visibility, in addition to providing the range of resources that small firms, young entrepreneurs and application developers need to commercialize their applications effectively.

So far, AppSwarm has been winning its game. It’s current game portfolio includes Turtles, Huh?, which was ranked as the top iOS family games app in five countries, ranked in the top five iOS family games apps in 22 countries and ranked in the top 10 iOS family games apps in 44 countries.

Grey Cloak Tech Inc. (GRCK) Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Eqova Life Sciences


  • Clinical-grade full spectrum hemp oil products created for licensed medical practitioners included
  • Science-backed education, superior products meet requirements of medical profession
  • Medical cannabinoid product revenue projected to reach $1.15 billion by 2020

Grey Cloak Tech Inc. (OTC: GRCK) recently announced that it has signed a binding Letter of Intent to purchase Eqova Life Sciences, a Colorado-based medically-focused company producing clinical-grade full spectrum hemp oil products. To date, no other hemp oil company has exclusively focused on the medical practitioner market, leaving this important segment largely underserved. Grey Cloak Tech, which is known for its click fraud prevention products, has been searching for a way to enter the growing cannabinoid industry, as it noted in a news release (http://dtn.fm/E4cx1).

According to The Hemp Business Journal, sales of products derived from cannabinoids more than tripled from 2014 to 2017, rising to $358 million. Additional revenue predictions for the medical marijuana industry point to $1.8 billion in sales by 2022, the report states. Grey Cloak Tech expects to dominate the medical practitioner market with science-backed education and superior products that utilize standardized dosing and unique delivery methods. Market professionals rightly require a safe, consistent product that meet strict conditions.

Eqova CEO Patrick Stiles, who is responsible for founding and growing several nutraceutical brands, has sold millions of dollars in products online through a variety of channels. Eqova’s medical advisory board seeks the most effective phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil, ingredients and delivery methods – combining them into innovative, cutting edge products that deliver standardized dosing and consistent pharmaceutical grade ingredients that actually help patients. All Eqova products go through rigorous third-party testing before and after manufacturing, ensuring that Equova’s products contain no or only trace amounts of psychoactive ingredients such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

“Today, consumers are smarter than ever before. They demand superior products but also want it backed up with education,” Stiles said in a news release. “The days of empty promises are over. This is why we exclusively partner with medical professionals to bring our full spectrum hemp oil products to their patients.”

William Bossung, CFO of Grey Cloak Tech, said the acquisition is contingent on meeting various obligations and conditions and will be consummated as soon as is reasonably practicable.

“The possibility of growing substantial revenues certainly exists with Equova,” Bossung said. “With Mr. Stiles’ business savvy, we expect to have substantial increases in revenue.”

LottoGopher Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: LTTGF) (CSE: LOTO) (FRA: 2LG) Board Member Kevin Harrington Talks to Benzinga about the Company’s Growth Strategy


  • LTTGF board member Kevin Harrington, original star of hit series ‘Shark Tank’ and infomercial pioneer, talked to Benzinga about growing LTTGF into 20+ additional states, using celebrity endorsements and implementing a “360 degree” strategy to raise profile and attract new customers
  • U.S. lottery industry is estimated to be between $70 billion and $80 billion nationally, with California, initial state for LTTGF operations, a $6.3 billion lottery market
  • LTTGF has named celebrity William Shatner, actor and Star Trek star, as its spokesperson; Shatner represented The Priceline Group (NASDAQ: PCLN) for 14 years, helping to build its stock from an IPO of $16 per share to $1,862 today with a market cap of $91.3 billion

LottoGopher Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: LTTGF) (CSE: LOTO) (FRA: 2LG) board member Kevin Harrington, former ‘Shark Tank’ star and a pioneer of the infomercial industry, told investors on Benzinga (http://dtn.fm/b4JZC) that they should keep an eye open to attractive entry points to the stock. “I’m an optimistic investor and I like to get involved at the right time,” he said.

LTTGF currently operates in the $6.3 billion California market (http://dtn.fm/L4jhH) as a lottery messenger service that permits users to buy state lottery tickets online via credit and debit cards, manage their accounts and receive the latest lottery news. The company has identified 22 more states which it plans to enter. Eventually, it hopes to expand into the national U.S. lottery market (http://dtn.fm/8lQRi).

“We are operating a service to help people get tickets,” Harrington told Benzinga. “I call it the ‘Uber Eats’ of lotteries. We do a similar thing: You want a lottery ticket, you go online and order it, we go and handle it getting printed for you and put it in your account…It’s like an on-demand courier service.”

He added that the company’s focus is raising its profile and acquiring more customers. “Our vision is to become the leading lottery messenger service in the United States,” said James Morel, founder and CEO of the company.

“We’ll be taking a 360 degrees approach to getting customers at a number that is less than the lifetime value of a customer, so that we can get a profit in the process,” Harrington said. “LottoGopher will be using TV, radio, digital media, celebrity endorsements…all the resources that are available…Each particular medium will focus on a particular demographic.”

LTTGF is offering players in California state lotteries such as MEGA Millions, SuperLotto Plus and POWERBALL. Participants can avoid waiting and buy tickets online after registering and paying a subscription fee. There are no other commissions or hidden fees. Bitcoin and ethereum are also accepted.

Harrington said that LTTGF will be seeking to enter more states and acquire additional customers. “This plays right into my background, which is finding customers. This is what we are working on right now. We have dozens of things happening as we speak, and over the next 60 days, that are pretty groundbreaking.”

LTTGF also recently named William Shatner as its spokesperson (http://dtn.fm/2cJtz). Shatner is best known for his role in Star Trek, but he has also appeared in Boston Legal and T.J. Hooker, as well as numerous stage productions and movies. Shatner, in 1997, was named spokesperson for Priceline (NASDAQ: PCLN). That stock skyrocketed from an IPO price of $16 per share to its current PPS of $1,862. Today, the company has a market cap of $91.3 billion.

  • Expansion of ABcann’s Vanluven facility underway, along with construction of the company’s 150,000 sq. ft. Kimmett facility
  • Napanee, Ontario-based firm uses proprietary plant-growing technology and is pursuing opportunities in Australia and Germany

ABcann Global Corp. (TSX.V: ABCN) (OTCQB: ABCCF) achieved working capital of $43 million from multiple financings, including private placements and strategic partnerships, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, it announced on August 29 (http://dtn.fm/RHe5K).

LottoGopher Holdings (OTCQB: LTTGF) (CSE: LOTO) (FRA: 2LG) Hails the Success of its Subscription-Based Model


  • LottoGopher offers a subscription-based messenger service for purchasing and managing California lottery tickets
  • The U.S. lottery industry is valued at $70 billion, and California’s stands at $6.3 billion
  • The company plans to expand to 22 additional states and expects to grow its revenue to $50 million in the coming years

LottoGopher Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: LTTGF) (CSE: LOTO) (FRA: 2LG) provides subscription messenger services to consumers in California who purchase lottery tickets. The company has succeeded with subscription-based products, offering flexible, scalable services to the tens of millions of U.S. consumers who buy lottery tickets.

The benefits of subscription models, stated in a recent industry article (http://dtn.fm/9wTZn), include having an array of bundled services available at a single monthly rate. Features and offerings can be adapted to address consumer sentiment. The increase in conversions is another benefit to LottoGopher, as its testing phase revealed website visitors responded favorably – 43 percent of those who followed the email sign-up process became members and 12 percent of free plan members signed up for paid plans. These results reveal LTTGF’s market and growth potential. The company is currently “live” in California and plans to expand to 22 additional states. By 2020, LottoGopher projects revenue close to $50 million driven by demand in the $70 billion U.S. lottery industry. California’s lottery market currently stands at $6.3 billion.

LottoGopher’s idea has caught on. Its concept has been featured on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS News, and Fox News. Time, Forbes, and the Los Angeles Times have also recognized the company. Recent growth in subscription numbers reflects the convenience offered to members, who can pay via debit and credit card, as well as bitcoin and ethereum, automatically every month. The trade-off is a supply of lottery tickets that members can manage through their secure accounts.

In a recent audio interview, LottoGopher president and CEO James Morel (http://dtn.fm/rG4l0) explained that LTTGF’s website is the first to let consumers use debit or credit cards online to buy lottery tickets, eliminating the need to travel to stores to make lottery purchases. Creating this third-party solution was practical, because it is primarily a messenger, affording access to state-run lotteries and consortiums such as Powerball and Mega Millions, instead of a gambling site. The customer-friendly, compliant system operates on a familiar subscription model similar to Netflix, so the company has built its system on best practices borrowed from other industries. Its model was inspired by leading subscription service providers such as Amazon.com, Inc.; Adobe Systems, Inc.; and Salesforce.com, Inc.

Morel also notes that the company set out to offer what the California lottery did not provide. He highlights the benefits of partnering with an industry expert, LottoLand, which is the largest online betting company outside the U.S. The partnership makes LottoLand shareholders in the company, with Lloyd Lemmon (LottoLand’s general council) on LTTGF’s board. Its partner has been in business since 2013 and has revenues of €500 million. Although it doesn’t sell software, music, video, or software subscriptions, LottoGopher Holdings has secured itself in a key niche market.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) Technology Targets Many Massive Markets


  • Technology that improves bio-absorption and bio-availability
  • Bioactive compound delivery system with application across a range of drugs
  • Revenue streams from out-licensing

The word in culinary circles is that where there is fat, there is flavor. That’s because fats (there are several different kinds) have a matchless ability to absorb and preserve flavors. Fats belong to a class of compounds called lipids, which the human digestive system absorbs remarkably efficiently. This characteristic makes them ideal for pairing with hard to digest remedials and tonics. Taking a leaf, perhaps, from haute cuisine, this is exactly what Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) is doing. The innovative biotech has developed a lipid-based system that delivers bioactive compounds more efficiently. The patented proprietary technology, which the company plans to out-license, not only augments bio-absorption and bioavailability but also improves taste, smell and onset of action.

Lexaria’s novel technology, DehydraTECH™, ticks all these boxes by infusing the molecules of organically sourced hemp oil, high in cannabidiol (CBD), inside the molecules of lipids. Lipids seem a natural choice, since the human endocannabinoid system is itself lipid-based. Using them as a vehicle for delivering cannabinoids in curatives results in more absorption, less waste and, just as importantly, fewer side effects (http://dtn.fm/F4lzi). With DehydraTECH, a little hemp oil goes a long way, improving the healthful benefits and, of course, saving money.

Lexaria has already applied this innovative delivery technology to its product line, which consists of three distinct brands: ViPova, Lexaria Energy and TurboCBD. ViPova is a delicious Chinese black tea from the province of Yunnan, made from hemp oil-infused within dried evaporated non-fat milk. Introduced in January 2015, the tea is available in a host of varieties and flavors. The Lexaria Energy line is meant for those with busy, active lifestyles. Under this brand, the company has launched a hemp oil-infused protein bar called the Lexaria Energy Bar, which, as its name suggests, provides reserves of energy to boost stamina. In addition, there is Lexaria’s TurboCBD, a brand of technologically enhanced, high absorption hemp oil capsules that came to market in March 2017. TurboCBD’s cannabinoid content is fortified with high-quality American ginseng and ginkgo biloba for support of enhanced focus and memory, along with reduced stress and fatigue.

However, as will be apparent, the DehydraTECH process is not restricted to delivering cannabinoids alone. It can be used to improve the delivery of other cannabinoids (apart from CBD) as well as vitamins, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and nicotine. This puts Lexaria in the enviable position of being a natural partner to cannabinoid biotech companies and an enabler rather than a competitor. Moreover, at present, Lexaria is the only company in the world that has been awarded a patent for the improved delivery (oral or ingestible, including pills) of all non-psychoactive cannabinoids. Patents have been awarded in the U.S. and Australia and are pending in 40 more countries. This puts the company in the unusually advantageous position of owning proprietary technology that can deliver a vast range of non-psychoactive cannabinoid-based drugs.

Lexaria’s partnership potential is worth taking notice of as landmark M&A deals continue to shape Big Pharma (http://dtn.fm/9PeJL). Its delivery technology has applications in some giant markets. As the referenced article notes, “According to biotech analysis firm EvaluatePharma, the global market for NSAIDs was valued at $11.4 billion in 2014. Meanwhile, the global market for vitamins is on course to reach $9.3 billion by 2020, the market for alternative nicotine delivery technologies is at an all-time high following recent FDA proposals, and consumer sales of cannabinoids are expected to reach $2.1 billion by 2020. All told, the market potential for Lexaria’s flagship platform could be huge.”
