ETF Managers Group

Say hello to the very first marijuana ETF for the U.S.

As reported by CNBC, on Oct. 27, ETF Managers Group filed for a new ETF, the Alternative Agroscience ETF. This ETF will mimic an index as closely as possible that tracks cannabis cultivators, producers and distributors, cannabinoid drugmakers, fertilizer producers, and tobacco companies.

But there's an interesting catch behind its "inception." The Alternative Agroscience ETF won't really be a new ETF at all. ETF Managers Group is switching the focus and tracking index of an existing ETF, the Tierra XP Latin America Real Estate ETF (NYSEMKT:LARE), which tracks the Solactive benchmark of real estate in Mexico and Brazil, to an ETF that predominantly follows cannabis companies.

Advantis Corp. Appoints Chief Medical Director to Develop CBD Based Nutraceuticals

Quote:
Advantis CEO, Christopher Swartz says that Dr. Elgin will additionally be responsible for testing the efficacy of products Advantis acquires and distributes. Swartz shares the doctor's excitement about the future of CBD technology. "I am passionate about finding effective solutions to cure this chronic pain epidemic," Swartz stated. "Dr. Elgin has been working with me at Sequence Therapy to develop proper exercises, and now at Advantis we will work together to develop effective medicines." Advantis has been working with medical marijuana provider, Natural Elements, who will be providing the CBD materials for research and development of nutraceutical products that can be used used orally (including its infusion into food and beverage products), topically, or through inhalation. "I am excited that Dr. Elgin shares my passion for providing for millions of people suffering from chronic pain," Swartz said. "Together, with Natural Elements, and Sequence Therapy, Advantis will make giant steps toward bringing a revolutionary pain relief process to those in need."

Swartz also mentioned that the search for viable properties by Advantis subsidiaries to produce and provide marijuana and its extracts in Oregon and Washington has entered a new stage. "We are aggressively working to identify real estate that can be properly permitted and/or partners that have a permitted operation in place," Swartz said. "We are stepping up our efforts with EARSI and two of the top medical marijuana attorneys in Oregon and Washington." A previous property that was identified did not meet certain standards required to properly permit it for a viable operation. "We are stepping on the gas pedal to get things moving as fast as possible, while adhering to the states strict guidelines," Swartz concluded.

Swartz also commented that he will soon reveal the details of a semi-exclusive packaging agreement that has recently been reached to license and provide innovative packaging solutions to dispensaries.

SGMD Newest Cannabis Services & Operations Reaping Benefits Of Post Election Momentum

PALM BEACH, Florida, November 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

As the United States moves closer and closer to the possible end of cannabis prohibition with the momentum of this year's election cycle, the need for expanded operations and innovation services within the marijuana industry is skyrocketing. Active companies in the industry to watch this week include: Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD), Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA), MassRoots, Inc. (OTC: MSRT), Growlife, Inc. (OTC: PHOT) and Signal Bay, Inc. (OTC: SGBY).

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD) today announces DabBox(R) cannabis concentrate packaging with a unique PTFE concentrate containment system. DabBox is a unique point of sale display package that allows cannabis retailers to brand concentrates via custom printed packaging, while providing consumers high value packaging that eliminates waste, while significantly reducing odor. DabBox utilizes virgin Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) due to its unique properties. Virtually nothing sticks to PTFE making it a nearly perfect packaging material for the very sticky cannabis concentrates that are fast gaining in popularity. Additionally, due to its high molecular weight, PFTE is non-reactive to cannabis, which virtually eliminates seepage of the expensive concentrate into the packaging materials. PTFE is also an excellent odor barrier.

12/26/14 Florida Lawmakers Could Consider MMJ Legalization in 2015

Tags: cannabis legislation, florida medical marijuana

Medical marijuana businesses in Florida that spent money and time preparing for legalization in the state only to see a ballot initiative narrowly fail in November should keep an eye on legislators when they return to Tallahassee in March.

FundingEBookV3 3 Florida Lawmakers Could Consider MMJ Legalization in 2015Because November’s vote was so close – it failed by just 2 percentage points – some Florida lawmakers may be willing to consider MMJ legalization in 2015 rather than leave it to voters the following year since a ballot initiative could take away their power to more-closely govern the industry.

Mid-term voters are usually older and more conservative, so the measure may fare better in a presidential-election year, pro-MMJ lobbyists say.

United for Care will begin collecting signatures as early as next month to put a new initiative on the 2016 ballot. Advocates say the fact that 58% of Floridians voted for the initiative is a clear indication that people in the state want legalized medical cannabis.

Legalization of medical marijuana in Florida could generate hundreds of millions of dollars annually in revenues.

Is Indiana ready to legalize marijuana?

Kristine Guerra, kristine.guerra@indystar.com 10:15 a.m. EST December 18, 2014

This coming session, Tallian hopes a more narrowly defined bill to legalize marijuana for people with certain medical conditions would fare better in a Republican-controlled legislature


(INDY STAR) -- State Sen. Karen Tallian has tried for years to legalize marijuana.

The Democrat from Portage, Ind., has introduced bills that would have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana. Those efforts have so far failed.

This coming session, Tallian hopes a more narrowly defined bill to legalize marijuana for people with certain medical conditions would fare better in a Republican-controlled legislature. The bill that she plans to introduce would allow people with a medical marijuana card and a doctor's recommendation to use marijuana.


Indiana senator plans medical marijuana proposal

"I'm trying something a little different," Tallian said. "I'm hoping to get a little more sympathy to getting a hearing."

Experts say a narrower proposal that would benefit people with specific medical problems is likely to go further in the legislature and could get some support from medical associations and people who have family members with debilitating illnesses.

But is Indiana ready to legalize marijuana even on a limited scale? Probably not. Some say the state likely will be one of the last ones to do so.

"It's still a long shot. In spite of our rugged individualism, I don't anticipate us being too early on that process," said Andy Downs, director of the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. "We are one of two states that doesn't allow Sunday alcohol sales. There are certain things that we accept as the way we operate and don't accept changes just because others have."

The trend in the country has been toward legalizing marijuana. This weekend, Congress passed a spending bill that would end federal raids in states where medical marijuana is legal. Thirty-two states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana in some fashion. Most are blue states. Limited access to marijuana also is allowed in a handful of red states, including Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and South Carolina. Some allow marijuana use for people with epilepsy and cancer.

Such a change may take some time to happen in Indiana, said David Orentlicher, co-director of the William S. and Christine S. Hall Center for Law and Health at the Indiana University Robert S. McKinney School of Law.

"You want legislation to gain support. It's important for other legislators to hear from their constituents," said Orentlicher, who added that if Hoosiers who have relatives with medical conditions that are responsive to marijuana contact their legislators, the bill may gain some traction.

Downs said a bill is unlikely to pass this session, unless several Republicans sign on to it.

"(We) have a fairly strict criminal code in the state of Indiana," Downs said. "There's no reason to believe that's going to change anytime soon."

Sen. Mike Young, R-Indianapolis, chair of the Senate Corrections and Criminal Law Committee, declined to comment until a bill is filed.

Still, Tallian is optimistic.

"I think there is a huge segment of the population that thinks this is OK," Tallian said, "and the general public is much farther ahead than the legislature on this issue."

She said the bill she'll introduce is not a strictly one-party deal, and the growing public support on marijuana use would signal to legislators that legalizing marijuana is no longer an unpopular thing to do.

"I have a lot of people on the other side of the aisle who are interested in this issue," Tallian said. "I think people are just a little afraid to put their names out there. I'm working on it."

Tallian has introduced bills in the past that would have decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana.

In 2013, she introduced Senate Bill 580, which would have made possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana a Class C infraction punishable by only a fine. Possession of more than 2 ounces would have been a Class B misdemeanor under the bill, and it would have been a Class A misdemeanor if the person has two or more marijuana-related convictions in the past five years. This past session, she introduced similar legislation, Senate Bill 314.

Both bills died without a hearing.

The bill she plans to introduce next year is not as broad as she wants, Tallian said, but it's a start.

In explaining how she became a strong advocate for legalizing marijuana, Tallian tells the story of a girl who got arrested for possession of a small amount of marijuana just after graduating from high school. The girl did everything she needed to do, Tallian said. She went to court, hired an attorney, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, did community service, paid her fine and underwent substance abuse counseling.

The girl went to college to become a teacher. When she was supposed to start her student teaching, Tallian said the school superintendent told her she could not be a teacher because of her criminal record.

"I'm tired of that stuff," Tallian said. "I'm an attorney. I'm tired of going to court and seeing one kid after another pleading guilty to a misdemeanor, which can stay on their records."

The recent overhaul of the state's sentencing laws, the purpose of which is to reduce the cost of incarceration, resulted in less harsh penalties for marijuana possession.

Under the new criminal code, which took effect July 1, the penalty for possession of about an ounce of marijuana went down from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class B misdemeanor punishable by 180 days in jail.

If a person has a prior drug conviction, the charge is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. That used to be a Class D felony under the old law.

Possession of 30 grams or more is a Level 6 felony if the person has a prior drug offense. That's punishable by up to two and a half years in jail.

Whether the state will see some savings because of such sentencing changes won't be known for another year or so, Downs said.

$QASP: QUASAR FINALIZES ACQUISTION OF HYDROPONIC GROW STORE

Source : InvestorsHub NewsWire
Stock : Quasar Aerospace Industries, Inc. (PC) (QASP)


JACKSONVILLE, FL- September 16, 2014 - InvestorsHub NewsWire - Quasar Aerospace Industries, Inc. (OTC Pink: QASP) (“Quasar” or “the Company”) Quasar Aerospace Industries, Inc. is proud to announce that it has finalized the acquisition of the assets of Hydro-Grow Supply, Inc. We have made our final payment of Seventy-Five Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($75,500) on this acquisition and now own one hundred percent (100%) of Hydro-Grow Supply, Inc. through our subsidiary, Green Energy Investments, Inc. As promised we successfully accomplished the first step toward achieving the goals set out in the business plan for entering the legal and medical marijuana market as a service provider. Quasar has begun and will continue to grab market share in the current $1.5 billion dollar hydroponic retail market. We are moving forward with preparing for the launch of our new e-commerce site and intend to open a second grow store location in the immediate future. We have been contacted by other grow stores in Colorado wanting to sell their operations to Quasar and we are also looking at prime locations in Florida to enter the newly developing market as a front runner. Quasar has been in discussion concerning acquiring a warehouse for our first cultivation center.

Hydro-Grow's final inventory at cost was valued at One Hundred, Sixty-Nine Thousand, Three Hundred, and Forty-Eight Dollars ($169,348) with an approximate retail exit value of Three Hundred, Twenty-Five Thousand, Seven Hundred, and Seventy-Eight Dollars ($325,778). The assets of Hydro-Grow totaled approximately One Hundred and Ninety-Two Thousand, Seven Hundred, and Ninety-Seven Dollars ($192,797). We have already increased the services being provided by Hydro-Grow to include not only retail sales but also to provide rental of trimmers, repair of ballast, installation of grow systems, delivery, and the creation of starter kits for the new grower. The historical revenues for the grow store show an average of five hundred and fifty-seven thousand, five hundred and eight-two dollars ($557,582) annually over the past four (4) years with nearly a thirty-nine percent (39%) margin. Quasar has an excellent base to grow its revenue stream and the new e-commerce site will generate a new source of revenue to the grow store that has never been captured by Hydro-Grow in the past and this addition should at least double its current revenue.

Please feel free to contact Quasar by telephone (904) 207-6503 or email at donnell@quasaraerospaceindustries.com for information or investment opportunities. Quasar will continue to update our shareholders and the investment community as progress and details are ready to be released.

MARINA DEL REY, Calif., July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Minerals LTD. (OTC Pink: DSCR) (OTC: DSCR) Discovery is pleased to announce that it will finalize a formal joint venture agreement this week with VPR Group.

The hemp planted on July 1 through AB AGRO's hemp license will be the initial raw material used to produce concentrated CBD oil through VPR's proprietary processing and extraction technology.

This proprietary process has the potential to reduce operational costs and increase efficiency of CBD oil extraction, resulting in greater yields and concentrations.

The market price of pharmaceutical CBD oil today is between 20,000 and 30,000 €/kg, (Source: Bio-Based News, May 28, 2014, tinyurl.com/cbd-pricingeu).

VPR's initial production focuses on the extraction of concentrated CBD oil for wholesale and retail applications. The production machinery is currently being sourced internationally and in Canada, ultimately to be assembled on a site in close proximity to AB AGRO's harvested hemp. VPR Group anticipates the production facility will be ready for AB AGRO's hemp harvest. Video of the hemp seed planting is available online at tinyurl.com/dscr-hemp. Additionally, as weather permits, updated photos and videos will be taken of the hemp crop's growing progress this week, and will be posted to the web site.

$IDGC: UPDATED: ID Global Corporation Signs Letter of Intent With Established Medical Marijuana Grower

Source : GlobeNewswire Inc.
Stock : Idglobal Corp. (PC) (IDGC)

ID Global Corp. (OTC:IDGC) is pleased to provide an update pursuant to the execution of the LOI announced on July 23, 2014.

The letter of intent is at least partially binding and subject to due-diligence. However, the following covenants are binding legal obligations and are not subject to due diligence:

$20,000 Deposit to be provided by IDGC for a 5-acre parcel of land with plans to construct a 20,000 sq. ft. facility.
IDGC shall have access to, and have an unrestricted right to use otherwise confidential information of this established Medical Marijuana grower in Vancouver BC, Canada, consisting of intellectual property rights, related to but not limited to the growing of marijuana in a highly efficacious manner, as illustrated in its current business plan and to be further developed by IDGC, coupled with the potential filing of an S-1 for this marijuana grower.

Accordingly, while we believe there are many reasons that transaction will be consummated, even though the document is captioned as a letter of intent, IDGC retains valuable rights even if a transaction is not consummated. Accordingly, the expenditure of the $20,000 nonrefundable amount enables IDGC to continue its quest to profitably pursue the medical marijuana business. Nonetheless, investors are cautioned that IDGC has not yet entered this business.
