QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (DVLP) Set to Benefit from Congress Passing the 2018 Farm Bill

Golden Developing Solutions (OTC: DVLP), an emerging leader in the cannabis, hemp, and cannabidiol (“CBD”) marketplace, is set to benefit from Congress recently passing the 2018 Farm Bill, loosening restrictions on the cultivation and sale of hemp. An article discussing the company reads, “With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, the hemp industry is poised to escape from the doldrums. Hemp is derived from the cannabis sativa plant, differing mainly because it has a much lesser level of THC than marijuana. However, having a common origin with marijuana has meant that it has suffered the same opprobrium and prohibitions. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, for example, required every person who sold, dealt in, dispensed or gave away marihuana to register with the Internal Revenue Service and pay a special occupational tax; it made no exception for hemp. The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 retained and intensified the restrictive regime around hemp. By making only negligible distinction from marijuana, it criminalized hemp, labeling it as a Schedule I controlled substance, the most restricted category of drugs. … The Farm Bill reverses that provision, removing industrial hemp from the CSA’s definition of marijuana and, consequently, from Schedule I.”

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Eyes Fast, Reliable Production as Further Spodumene Mineralization is Identified

QMC Quantum Minerals (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) recently reported that during its ongoing exploration and development of the Irgon Project, geotechnical field crews identified additional significant spodumene mineralization. Spodumene mineralization is recognized as being the primary source of hard-rock lithium. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Hard rock mining of spodumene as a source for lithium has distinct advantages over reaping elemental lithium from brines, since only highly concentrated brines produce lithium economically and the process to extract the lithium is glacial. The company states (http://ibn.fm/cJL9f) that once the initial exploration phase has been completed on hard rock lithium pegmatites, such as at its Irgon Project, hard rock pegmatite deposits are faster to mine and production is more reliable. QMC is nearing the final stage of this exploration phase and approaching the point at which an updated NI 43-101 can be filed, which will likely lead the company closer to its goal of actively mining the Irgon Lithium Mine Property.”

Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE: KNR) (FSE: 1K8) Delivering Climate-Friendly Energy Solutions through Smart Administration of Utilities, HVAC

• Multi-trillion-dollar energy efficiency industry provides hope for responding to growing global climate change trend
• Kontrol Energy Corp.’s SaaS model drove 35 percent revenue growth during past year as company delivered smart energy management solutions
• Company anticipates adding additional accretive acquisitions during the coming year and increasing recurring service revenues

When Yale University reported recently that anxiety over the future of the planet’s climate system is rising significantly in the United States (http://ibn.fm/0eRLa), the Ivy League institution created a metric for the psychological consequences of sustained changes in regional weather patterns and the media reports about them. While climate change is driving a growing sense of “climate grief” (http://ibn.fm/ANW08) characterized by “a number of different emotions, including fear, anger, feelings of powerlessness, or exhaustion,” for many the global trend is spurring a call to action, as exemplified by the smart utilities management solutions offered by disruptive digital tech company Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE: KNR) (FSE: 1K8).

Kontrol Energy is a disciplined, vertically oriented company devoting its strong merger and acquisition drive to the pursuit of better planetary conditions – supporting the concept of a world that will still be livable during coming generations by helping building managers reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and increase their awareness of their own ecological impact.

The company’s profile cites the Environmental and Energy Study Institute in noting that buildings contribute up to 40 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions (http://ibn.fm/g50Ab), highlighting the fact that climate impact is not merely a fossil fuel-powered automotive industry issue. Kontrol is building a suite of Internet of Things (IOT) devices that utilize modern technological connectivity to better “control” energy use outcomes in the buildings where we all live and work.

The company’s software allows building managers to tie into existing automated building technology or add components, as needed, and thereby generate data on HVAC systems and utilities that can be monitored and recorded in real time. Kontrol’s tier one data center processes two billion data points per year, utilizing artificial intelligence to analyze and troubleshoot building issues.

Kontrol’s Software as a Service (SaaS) model allows remote devices to be easily monitored and controlled by facilities managers through mobile smartphones and tablets. The company has collected and processed more than 15 billion data records during the past decade to serve hundreds of buildings.

Kontrol’s last quarterly earnings report showed strong revenue growth of 35 percent over the previous year (http://ibn.fm/5M2l5).

“In less than 2 years we have grown our revenue run rate from $1.8 Million to $16 Million,” CEO Paul Ghezzi stated in the company’s quarterly announcement. “Kontrol is delivering on our stated goals and objectives and we seek to continue our strong growth through further accretive acquisitions and the expansion of our smart energy technologies. In 2019 we anticipate being cash flow positive based on our current run rate of $16 million in revenue.”

The company has also recently added two contracts with licensed producers in Canada’s cannabis sector to provide energy efficiency that’s crucial to the booming industry. It is also finalizing the acquisition of Ontario-based emissions integrator CEM Specialties Inc.

“In 2019 we will be focused on completing up to two accretive acquisitions and accelerating our existing recurring SaaS revenues,” Ghezzi stated. “As the broader market becomes more aware of our ability to scale our recurring revenues and our overall growth rates, we believe our shareholders will be rewarded.”

Energy efficiency is expected to be a multi-trillion-dollar industry during coming years with a number of value segments that include energy retrofits ($71.4 billion), distributed generation ($179.9 billion), energy analytics ($33.5 billion) and greenhouse gas/carbon measurement and reduction ($1.2 trillion).

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) Advancing Its Clinical Program, Immunotherapy Seen as Future of Cancer Treatment

• Multiple oncology and immunology organizations have identified immunotherapy as the future of cancer treatment
• BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. is making significant progress in the development of a safe and highly effective immunotherapy solution for advanced breast cancer patients
• The company is expected to announce new information about the efficacy of its lead product candidate in combination with KEYTRUDA® during the first quarter of 2019
• Market forecasts suggest rapid anti-cancer immunotherapy market growth until 2023

For nearly 20 years, researchers have been working on ways to help the immune system better target cancer. New developments in the field are making that possible, which is why clinicians believe that immunotherapy could be the future of cancer treatment (http://ibn.fm/e6Tym). According to the British Society of Immunology, the rise of monoclonal antibodies that can be raised against a protein of interest is changing the landscape of cancer treatments. Several such antibodies have already become available, and they can be used to target different types of cancer.

Companies like BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT), a Berkeley-based clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of targeted immunotherapy for advanced breast cancer, are making solid progress in the field of immunotherapy aimed at targeting specific types of cancer. Bria-IMT™, the company’s lead product candidate, has delivered promising results in three clinical studies to date. Bria-IMT™ has resulted in tumor shrinkage in certain patients with advanced stage breast cancer. It is now being evaluated in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) from Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK).

Bria-IMT™ works by providing breast cancer antigens and a direct stimulation of the cancer fighting T-cells. This way, the therapy strengthens the body’s ability to fight cancer. Bria-IMT™ has achieved proof of concept in clinical trials, and its safety has also been assessed as excellent. Even in heavily pre-treated advanced breast cancer patients, Bria-IMT™ managed to elicit tumor regression.

In the combination study, six patients have been treated with Bria-IMT™ and KEYTRUDA®. In all of the patients, the combination was very well tolerated, and the study is ongoing. Additional data about the efficacy of the combination study is expected in the first quarter of 2019, BriaCell announced.

Based on these findings, BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. is also working on Bria-OTS™ – a personalized, off-the-shelf immunotherapy solution for advanced breast cancer patients. Bria-OTS™ will provide a first-of-its-kind personalized immunotherapy that is much more cost-efficient and easier to manufacture than other comparable solutions. According to BriaCell, the technology could also be applicable to the treatment of other types of cancer.

The global cancer immunotherapy market is projected to grow rapidly in the coming years, at a CAGR of 12.9 percent through 2023 (http://ibn.fm/Qg2mT). This means that, by 2022, the market volume is expected to exceed $145 billion (http://ibn.fm/KLVcZ). By 2026, nearly 60 percent of previously treated cancer patients will probably adopt immunotherapy (http://ibn.fm/4QUHz).

The rising incidence and prevalence of multiple types of cancer will also propel the development of effective immunotherapy solutions like BriaCell’s Bria-IMT™ and Bria-OTS™.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) Appoints Alex Hamilton as CFO of Subsidiary as it Offers CBD-Based Products to Mainland China

• Alongside its traditional set of offerings for the Chinese-speaking investment community, ChineseInvestors.com is making strategic moves to capitalize on the burgeoning CBD oil industry
• Alex Hamilton has been appointed as chief financial officer of subsidiary company CBD Biotechnology, LTD
• ChineseInvestors.com recognizes the unprecedented industry potential of CBD-based nutrition and wellness products and hopes to offer them to mainland China

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), a premier provider of financial information to Chinese-speaking investors in the United States and China, recently announced the appointment of Alex Hamilton as chief financial officer of CBD Biotechnology, LTD, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Hamilton will be supervising a myriad of corporate responsibilities within the company and, ultimately, aims to execute CBD Biotech’s goal of providing cannabidiol (CBD)-related products to China’s mainland population, which Hamilton (http://ibn.fm/4OUyL) calls the “largest market ever.”

“I am humbled by this appointment and look forward to unlocking a lot of value with the spin-off,” Hamilton stated in a news release (http://ibn.fm/TC8q3). “This is an exciting opportunity for rapid growth.”

Recognizing increased demand for cannabidiol-based health and wellness products, ChineseInvestors.com is building a foundation to capitalize on the unprecedented opportunity. While the CBD-based product market has been steadily growing around the world and is predicted to become a $2.1 billion dollar industry by 2020, the nutrition and health products market of mainland China has yet to fully take advantage of the health benefits of CBD oil. ChineseInvestors.com seeks to capitalize on this market opportunity, which encompasses an enormous population of consumers.

Under a wholesale agreement with a reputable CBD health brand, the company has already launched the world’s first online CBD health products store published in the Chinese language, www.ChineseCBDOil.com. Additionally, it has launched a cannabis-focused mobile app, Da Ma Dian Ping, the first marijuana social media mobile app created for Chinese-speaking customers around the world.

As it positions itself to become a global player in the CBD-based product industry, ChineseInvestors.com continues to focus on its original mission of providing financial information and services to the larger Chinese community in the U.S. and abroad. The company’s extensive list of products and services includes real-time market commentary; analysis and education-related services in Chinese language character sets; consultative services to smaller private companies desiring to become public; and public relations-related support services, including advertising.

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) Advancing Clinical Development of its Novel Advanced Breast Cancer Treatment

BriaCell Therapeutics (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT), an immuno-oncology focused biotechnology company, is continuing its progression of Bria-IMT for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. An article discussing the company reads, “The Bria-IMT phase I/IIa monotherapy study involved 23 patients who were very heavily pre-treated (a median of four previous systemic therapy regiments per patient). The treatment with Bria-IMT was well-tolerated, with minor local irritation at the injection site being reported as the most common adverse effect. … More importantly, Bria-IMT contributed to tumor shrinkage in three of the patients. The top respondent previously received seven rounds of chemotherapy and had tumor metastases at various sites. The patient’s three-month follow-up showed shrinkage in all 20 metastatic formations in the lungs. After six months, the response was still maintained. Two other patients also showed tumor reduction. All of the patients with tumor reduction matched Bria-IMT at one or more HLA types, validating BriaCell’s approach to selecting patients most likely to respond (BriaDx). Biological activity was observed in several other of the patients, and there was a noted decrease in circulating cancer-associated cells.”

Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE: KNR) (FSE: 1K8) Advancing its Innovative Energy Solutions

• Kontrol Energy focuses on lowering energy costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• The company’s emphasis is IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology
• Kontrol’s corporate strategy involves mergers and acquisitions, organic growth and cannabis sector initiatives

Established in 2015, Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE: KNR) (FSE: 1K8) provides market-based energy solutions to organizational customers. The company’s goal is lower energy costs and decreased greenhouse gas emissions via the use of smarter energy solutions. Kontrol’s emphasis is on enhancing energy performance in commercial, multi-residential and mission critical buildings. In addition, it has received contracts with licensed producers (LPs) in the cannabis sector. Kontrol Energy is headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario. Kontrol received recognition as Canada’s seventh-fastest growing startup in 2018.

The company is a leader in the energy efficiency sector by way of IoT (Internet of Things), Cloud and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) technology. Kontrol’s energy solutions aim to lessen customers’ overall cost of energy while providing a corresponding decrease in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Kontrol provides integrated smart energy technologies and solutions to blue chip customers in the U.S. and Canada (http://ibn.fm/Nc71T).

Kontrol Energy is focusing on its development through two pathways – acquisitions and organic growth. The company has completed six acquisitions so far at attractive valuations. Kontrol notes that there are numerous cross-sales and operating efficiencies across these acquisitions (http://ibn.fm/7KEr2).

One example of Kontrol’s M&A strategy is its acquisition of CEM Specialties, Inc. CEM is a market leader in turn-key emission monitoring equipment and solutions. Another example is the acquisition of ORTECH Consulting, Inc. ORTECH is an engineering consulting firm. It specializes in GHG reporting, emission testing, air quality testing and renewable energy/power consulting (http://ibn.fm/bnZDk). Therefore, these acquisitions tie into Kontrol’s objective of reducing GHG emissions.

Regarding organic growth, Kontrol’s strategy focuses on the acceleration of IoT devices and SaaS. The company has an organic growth target of 40 percent annually. Its aim is recurring revenues via energy management and analytics, as well as real-time data delivery. At present, Kontrol has energy software installed in 180 buildings. This software monitors and records HVAC equipment and utilities in real-time and sends the data securely to Kontrol’s Tier 1 data center.

Concerning building analytics, Kontrol Energy provides its customers with the information needed to boost operational visibility. With its analytics, Kontrol makes it possible for customers to identify opportunities for performance improvement. Moreover, businesses can share this vital information across teams and organizations  (http://ibn.fm/JBuUj).

This year, Kontrol Energy entered the cannabis market as a supplier of energy services. The goal of its services is to provide energy efficiency and emission compliance solutions, which are of vital importance to licensed producers. Kontrol assists cannabis growers in reducing the cost of energy. It also supports mission critical infrastructures in the cannabis sector. Kontrol Energy has so far obtained two contracts to provide energy efficiency services to LPs in the Canadian cannabis sector.

Kontrol Energy offers investors potential growth opportunities with its disciplined M&A strategy in tandem with organic growth. The company continues to advance initiatives regarding optimizing energy performance in buildings and supplying the cannabis market with first-rate energy services. Kontrol remains dedicated to its vision of smarter energy solutions for buildings and cities.

Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc. (SGSI) Displays Capability to be One Stop Shop for 5G

• 5G networks expected to roll out in 2019
• Around $150 billion expected in Telco CAPEX by 2023
• Spectrum’s opportunity pipeline valued at $137 million

On December 19, 2018, an investor webinar and live Q&A session put on by Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc. (OTC: SGSI) showcased the engineering company’s technological prowess and potential (http://ibn.fm/piEao). Undoubtedly, this single-source provider has the capability to upgrade, install and maintain next-generation telecommunication networks. Deployment of 5G networks is expected to create roughly three million American jobs and add $0.5 trillion to U.S. GDP, according to global management consultants Accenture. Spectrum plans to be part of that rollout. The company has developed a global track record by successfully executing over 150,000 projects since commencing operations 34 years ago. Spectrum has delivered cost-effective, scalable, robust solutions for communication carriers, utilities, enterprise companies, OEMs and others. With 5G on the horizon, the company is gearing up to continue its stellar performance. With $137 million in the opportunity pipeline, its stock, trading at just 7.5 percent of sales, looks strangely undervalued.

A generation ago, 2G networks were state-of-the-art. Very few people had mobile phones back then. In 1991, when 2G had its debut, cell phone subscriptions numbered about 7.5 million. Subscriptions hit 69.2 million in 1998, when 3G appeared, and reached 262.7 million in 2008, after the launch of 4G LTE. Now, with 5G set for rollout in 2019, very few on the planet will not be linked to a network. Already, major carriers like AT&T and Verizon have launched 5G service in certain markets. Others are sure to follow. Around $150 billion in telecom capital expenditures (CAPEX) is expected through 2023. 5G networks deliver more data at greater speeds, more responsiveness by lowering latency and the capability to connect a lot more devices at once (think sensors and smart devices), which augurs well for the Internet of Things (IoT).

Spectrum’s client list reads like a who’s who of telecom celebrity. It includes major carriers like AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon; aggregators (essentially infrastructure leasers) such as American Tower, Crown Castle and ExteNet; and big name OEMs like Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung. With a foot in so many doors, that $137 million in the opportunity pipeline looks likely to boost Spectrum’s revenues in the years to come. The company’s embedded relationships generate repeat business at minimal acquisition cost. As the shift to 5G progresses, analysts expect “the five largest telcos alone… to spend approximately $50 billion on CAPEX in 2018, up from nearly $45 billion in 2017.”

Spectrum has beefed up resources to prepare for a 5G future. Earlier this year, it announced the acquisition of ADEX Corporation, an Alpharetta, Georgia-based company, and ADEX Puerto Rico LLC, which offers turnkey wireless and wireline telecom services and project professional services (http://ibn.fm/z1Off). ADEX, which has operations nationwide and in the Caribbean, has supported telecommunications companies for the last 25 years throughout the project lifecycle of existing and next generation network deployments, both domestically and internationally. ADEX is now a big part of the Spectrum family. It is expected to provide about two-thirds of Spectrum’s 2018 projected revenues of $33 million.

Despite this promise, Spectrum’s virtues, it seems, have escaped the public eye. Spectrum is a proven market operator with clear, quantifiable organic growth opportunities in a fast growing market segment; it’s led by an experienced management team. It is also unique as one of only a handful of engineering and installation companies able to provide all services and bundle products for telcos. The company is registered in 49 U.S. states, three U.S. territories and six Canadian provinces.

However, even with its impressive investment credentials, SGSI stock is trading at 7.5 percent of sales, making its market cap around $2 million (http://ibn.fm/UmINw). Trading at just 1x its estimated 2018 revenues would put the company at a $32 million market cap, more than 15 times where it is today. For a company generating double and/or triple-digit growth, 1x sales is an extremely conservative valuation. Maybe it’s time for investors to take another look at Spectrum Global Solutions.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) Increases the Performance of Products for Third-Party Partners

• Changing the way cannabinoids and nicotine enter the blood stream
• Enhancing products worldwide, with patents issued and pending in more than 40 countries
• Providing a powerful new delivery method with a cost of less than a penny per serving to implement

Smoking is an efficient way to absorb cannabis and nicotine into the blood stream. However, it is also a health hazard that takes the lives of over six million people each year through smoking-related diseases.

What would it mean for the cannabis, nicotine and other medicinal industries if the dangers of lighting up were eliminated from the equation? What if a more effective way of delivering drugs was developed that reduced quantity and increased effectiveness without the negative side effects? One company, Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP), set out to answer these questions.

Lexaria’s revolutionary technology, DehydraTECH, changed the way that fat soluble, plant-derived molecules (such as cannabinoids and nicotine) enter the body.

The first challenge when creating edibles is taste and smell. Cannabinoids and nicotine can be bitter when taken orally. For this reason, edibles often contain high levels of sugar. DehydraTECH masks the taste and smell, eliminating the need for unhealthy sweeteners while making the product more desirable for the consumer.

Once past the mouth, these molecules do not fully survive the acidic nature of the stomach. Though the ideal location for absorption is in the small intestine, the stomach damages the molecules before they have a chance to arrive. DehydraTECH provides protection during stomach transit and can even bypasses first pass liver metabolism when desired. The truth is that the vast majority of substances orally consumed end up being filtered through the body as waste. With the addition of DehydraTECH, this changes! Bio absorption is increased by five to 10 times.

Four different wholly owned subsidiaries operate under Lexaria. Each is empowered with global exclusive licenses to use and out-license DehydraTECH to third party partners within their respective industries in more than 40 countries where the technology is patented or patent-pending. Partners are offered a competitive edge and protection against inferior methodologies and outdated technology. DehydraTECH is suitable for use in processed foods, beverages, capsules, oral sprays, topical applications and more. Though the company is doing extensive research and evaluating the potential use of its technology for nicotine delivery, it is not partnering with the tobacco industry.

Chemicals or intimidating complex ingredients that require disclosure on food labels are not required additions when using DehydraTECH. Instead the edible tech works with commons GRAS ingredients that can be organic and gluten- and dairy-free. It does all of this while still costing partners less than a penny per serving to implement, making DehydraTECH a win-win for the partner and consumer, who both gain from the improved performance of the enhanced product.

Lexaria believes that one day, using technologies like DehydraTECH, foods and beverages will be able to replace smoking as the most effective delivery mechanism. The work the company is doing with cannabinoids and nicotine is paving a path toward providing a powerful new delivery method of pain relievers, vitamins, supplements and more.

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) Offers Premium Cannabis Products While Surpassing Health Canada’s Stringent Health Requirements

• Canada’s recreational cannabis use is predicted to soar as adult-use spending increases
• The Flowr Corporation is using its cultivation expertise to be a leader in super-premium products
• With production facilities ready for completion in 2019, Flowr is positioned to stay ahead of the competition

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR), a vertically integrated Canadian cannabis company, offers consumers a premium cannabis experience by maintaining the highest standards of quality in its production methods. With one of the industry’s top cultivation teams, proprietary growing systems and a commitment to R&D, Flowr aims to become “the leading seller of premium, non-irradiated cannabis in the Canadian medical and recreational markets,” as co-founder, chairman and Chief Strategist Steve Klein stated in a news release (http://ibn.fm/MTtiR).

In October 2018, the Canadian government legalized cannabis. It anticipated that 450,000 customers a day would participate in Canada’s cannabis market, which would make recreational cannabis use a $900 million industry (http://ibn.fm/HDmdl). Strong growth is predicted for this industry as adult-use spending increases. According to a forecast by analysts at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), cannabis sales in Canada will grow more than seven-fold to $6.8 billion, making the industry larger than the hard liquor market and almost as lucrative as the wine market.

Flowr is well-positioned to capture a significant share of this growth.

The company began selling its products to the medical and recreational markets in October 2018 and has projected that it will sell approximately 550,000 grams this year – a very strong start given that its facilities are currently 20 percent operational and only began cultivation in the spring of 2018. Flowr expects to have its “Kelowna 1” facility fully operational by mid-2019, with production expected to be at an annual rate of 12 million grams, creating the opportunity for rapid sales growth. The company plans to begin work on the much larger “Kelowna 2” facility almost immediately after it completes Kelowna 1, providing even more potential upside in coming years.

As much as volume is important, though, quality is Flowr’s calling card. Flowr’s high production standards and its facilities that are designed to pharmaceutical industry standards allow it to grow cannabis that meets Health Canada’s strict standards for cleanliness without the need for irradiation. Cannabis grown in greenhouses or lower quality facilities is almost always blasted with radioactive material (a process called irradiation) to kill mold and bacteria so that it can pass Health Canada inspection. While such treatment is allowed, it is known to diminish the consumer experience, as it leaves dead mold and bacteria particles on the flower and alters the taste and smell of the plant in other ways (http://ibn.fm/vZ3Vl).

As a result, Flowr and only a few other producers can meet the demand for premium quality cannabis, a key reason why its products were chosen for sale by government retailers in Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia, as well as a private dispensary in Saskatchewan. This quality also played a role in the team behind Toronto’s highly successful Ace Hill Beer choosing Flowr as their partner for their new Ace Valley cannabis brand.

Despite being a relatively new company in the Canadian cannabis industry, Flowr already has multiple products available to more than half of Canada’s population, with plans to add more distribution channels in Canada and, potentially, internationally.

“In every consumer industry there is a sizable and very valuable market for premium or luxury goods and this will be true of the cannabis market,” added Klein. “We’re building Flowr to capture a huge share of this market as there are few, if any companies, who can match our ability to grow premium cannabis profitably and at scale.”
