They’re buying cbd stocks as well. It’s not a coincidence that republicans are the ones to push it forward.
True, all the govt. officials and ex-officials love to shoot their mouths off. Makes you wonder why so many are always so anxious to give their opinions.
There isn’t any statistical evidence.. so he’s right. It’s mostly anecdotal. But someone please tell that to the consumer, lol, and we’ll wait 2 years before some real analysis comes out.
This guy did not help out the CBD industry today:

So many people I run across in business and personal know nothing about CBD. I think we are golden with these companies. When people catch on look out!
Nice pull back entry point on this today.
Outside market influences seemed to be under control...I was worried about Brexit but that is undercontrol...Also qe have more states signing hemps laws weekly
I hope you’re right!
This stock want 20$ im buying more in the am
ELLXF looks like a prime candidate for M&A.
Good read. Brief mention of Elixinol and Charlotte's Web.

I loaded more at 3.85 this stock will continue up.
I like the cooling off. No doubts that this will take and hold the $4's
Lol I briefly invested in “other rival” a few months back hoping that it would get pumped and I could make a short-term profit. I sold the day before it hit $7 because it was all too shady for me. I’d say that “other rival” is one of the most likely stocks of the cannabis boom to be engaging in some fraudulent activities...
If we beat the other rival that is 5.75 i will lmfao...All those guys will be pissed lol...ellxf

This thing just opens up and trades sideways everyday. pretty remarkable.. still holding my early entries, but may let go some of my higher purchases. We’ll see. So far though so good, and super hot sector too. So why not
Great start to the week in Australia. Look slike we could break and hold the $4s this week.
Australian listing, EXL, up ~10%. How far can we go?
Can't go wrong with either one and it's amazing how many articles mention both of them..the class of the pack, IMO.
I can’t wait for the day that this pps is where Cweb is now.
CW and Ellxf are the 2 I like.
Excellent article thanks for sharing! I liked the end where they said if you want to try it buy the #1 CW!

Dazed and confused: States push for legal clarity on CBD

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
CBD oil-infused gummy bears, lattes and other food, drinks and dietary supplements are selling quickly even though the U.S. government says they're illegal and local authorities have forced some retailers to pull products. The confusion has the nation's two largest states and others moving to legalize the cannabis compound that many see as beneficial to their health.
Lawmakers in Texas and California are often in opposition, but they're both pushing bipartisan legislation to sidestep federal law and allow sales of the compound found in hemp and marijuana. Republicans and Democrats in Congress also are urging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to change its stance.

The FDA announced Tuesday that it will hold a public hearing in May to gather more information.
Resolving the confusion can't come quick enough for Jonathan Eppers, who makes Vybes, a popular CBD oil-infused beverage. California health inspectors raided his Los Angeles warehouse in January and impounded $100,000 worth of the drink.
Eppers said about 50 California retailers have since dropped his product and he's moved production to Texas. He estimates lost sales, legal costs and relocation expenses have cost him at least $500,000.
"What is going on is unbelievable and asinine," Eppers said. "They put us in this state of limbo that's costing us."
Eppers and CBD fans are mystified by the legal insecurity. After all, they say, retailers in California and nine other states that have broadly legalized marijuana sell edibles and other products that get people high, though pot is illegal under federal law. U.S. officials generally have taken a hands-off approach in states where pot is legal.
The FDA has oversight of CBD because it is the active ingredient in an approved prescription drug to treat two rare seizure disorders. The agency says CBD can't be added to food or sold as a dietary supplement because officials haven't determined if it's safe or effective for other conditions.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told Congress last week that enforcement is being limited to sellers who make false health claims. He says the agency recently sent warning letters to three companies touting CBD as a treatment for cancer, Alzheimer's disease, fibromyalgia and drug addiction.
"But there are products on the market right now that, given our enforcement priorities and our limited resources, we haven't taken action against," he said.
Sellers and users say CBD helps with pain, anxiety and inflammation, though limited scientific research supports those claims. It's turning up in products ranging from lotions, cosmetics and soap to diet pills, juices, cocktails, candy and drinks.
Short for cannabidiol, CBD is a non-psychoactive molecule found in hemp and marijuana. Both are cannabis plants, but only marijuana has enough of the compound THC to get users high. CBD oil is extracted when the plant is processed. While hemp derivatives are essentially THC-free, CBD oil from marijuana may have very little or enough to produce a high.
State and local officials are taking nearly all the enforcement actions against CBD. Health officials in California, which has the nation's largest marijuana marketplace, warned retailers last summer that anything edible containing CBD is illegal until lawmakers or regulators say otherwise.
The warning was largely ignored until early 2019, when state and local health officials began forcing some small businesses to pull products after receiving complaints.
San Francisco health officials recently barred two small operators from selling CBD-infused food and drink, while authorities in rural Grass Valley, 140 miles away, did the same to a small, cooperatively owned grocery store.
"It caught us way off guard," said Gus Dabais, owner of Sidewalk Wellness, one of the stores targeted.
The San Francisco Health Department sent warning letters to 1,900 businesses last year, spokeswoman Veronica Vien said. She said inspectors are not looking for CBD but responding to complaints.
She said that's how they ended up "red tagging" products at Dabais' business and Steap Tea Bar, a popular Chinatown stop that sold CBD-infused bubble tea.
Similar scenarios are playing out in Ohio, where authorities in January ordered a Cincinnati grocery store to remove CBD from two outlets. The following month, New York City health inspectors removed CBD products from a number of restaurants. Police in March raided two Fort Worth, Texas, retailers and seized CBD products after the local district attorney declared the compound illegal.
In Texas, one of a handful of states that outlaws all forms of marijuana, lawmakers are pushing a measure that would legalize hemp oil-infused edibles. It sailed through its first committee in the House this week.
In California, a similar CBD measure has moved on to the full Assembly.
"A number of people have been using it for years, and you can find it on retail shelves all over the place, but now people are surprised to find it's against the law," said Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, a Napa-area Democrat who introduced the measure. "What this bill will do is clear up the confusion."
She said the legislation would stop state and local enforcement of the FDA's ban and hopes it becomes law by August.
"This would lift a legal cloud from a legitimate California business," said Jim Gross of the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, an industry association.
A growing number of federal lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, are urging the FDA to approve CBD. They backed a measure taking hemp off the U.S. government's list of banned substances.
"Hemp is a versatile crop with many uses and applications," McConnell and Wyden wrote to the FDA in February. "We are hopeful that by working with you on the implementation of our legislation, we can help ensure that hemp can be a new cash crop for farmers across the country."

Might be a dumb question, but is converting the ASX offering's price from AUD to USD a fair way to estimate the way the OTC offering will move the next day? EXL currently up .35, or 7.14%, to 5.25--which converts to 3.74 USD.

Streetwise Reports Examines Best-of-Breed Hemp/CBD Producers
GlobeNewswire•April 3, 2019
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/streetwise-reports-examines-best-breed-110000634.htmlSAN FRANCISCO, April 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fincom Investment Partners surveys the hemp-CBD landscape and discusses two companies it believes are "best of breed."
Company mentioned: Elixinol Global Ltd. (EXL:ASX; ELLXF:OTCQX)
The hemp/CBD phenomena grows. Investors appear to be catching on. Our universe of publicly traded CBD "pure-plays" suggests the two "best-of-breed."
Charlotte's Web Holdings Inc. and Elixinol Global Ltd. are pioneers in hemp/CBD. Both are fast growers. Elixinol, the fastest over the second half of 2018, has new, cutting-edge products and a lower relative valuation. This balances with Charlotte's Web's stronger name recognition and larger retail sales base. Charlotte's Web's Q4 sales rebounded after a hiccup in Q3 and had solid Q/Q sales growth of 21%. Both companies have positive EBITDA, which must be a shock to cannabis investors, with what we believe is a superior business model to cannabis growers. (Disclosure: A director of Fincom Investment Partners is a long-time Charlotte's Web reseller).
We continue to suggest fair valuation for Elixinol remains one-half of Charlotte's Web's—discounted 20%. Charlotte's Web's sales are more than 2X.
Elixinol's 2018 sales were US$26 million, up 121% annually. Charlotte's Web's were $69 million, up 74% annually. Much of Elixinol sales are in lower margin private label, which becomes a strategic advantage since neither Charlotte's Web nor CV Sciences can boast significant experience with private label, third party or bulk CBD sales. Elixinol, perhaps, has a "leg up" on branded partnerships, building the "powered by Elixinol" brand—the brand behind the brands. We believe this is a stronger competitive "moat" than just selling through fickle retailers.
We have long argued CBD (the cannabidiols, a non-intoxicant) is a larger market—and a better investment—than cannabis.

Good info on explosive CBD market metrics compared to THC
https://grizzle.com/the-untapped-potential-of-cannabidiol-cbd/?ck_subscriber_id=295616597
The THC Market will Ultimately be Less Than Half the Size of the CBD Market
The THC market may be the first target for licensed producers because demand is more easily defined, but longer term the CBD market is where the real money is.
According to Canadian government estimates, recreational and medical cannabis demand could reach $10 billion in the first year of legalization.
But according to cannabis industry analysts The Brightfield Group, the hemp CBD market could be generating $22 billion a year by 2022.
Grizzle thinks this number is conservative.
In only four years the medically driven CBD market will be at least twice the size of the market for recreational cannabis.
CBD Pricing Compares Favourably to THC
To truly understand the economics of cannabis vs. hemp we have to compare the pure active ingredients only and exclude the parts of the flower that have no health or psychoactive qualities.
Consumption of cannabis flower is decreasing rapidly in favour of oils and vapes and the industry will soon be pricing cannabis products based on weight of active ingredient only, excluding the rest of the cannabis plant.
For example, when you’re quoted $10 per gram for flower at a legal dispensary, the flower by weight only contains 20% pure THC, so you are actually paying $50 per gram of THC.
Growing Costs /gram Wholesale /Gram Retail /Gram
Pure CBD Concentrate $0.08 $6.50 $97
Pure THC Concentrate $16.00 $40.00 $100
Dried CBD Flower $0.002 $0.16 $1.40
Dried THC Flower $2.00 $4.00 $7.50
Retail
Medically licensed cannabis oil from the 6 largest licensed producers sells for $100 per gram of THC on average.
CBD oil sells for a very similar price at $97 per gram of pure CBD.
In the US, Charlotte’s Web, a Colorado-based hemp grower, cultivates their own proprietary strain of hemp from which they extract, process, and distribute CBD-based products.
Their isolates sell for as high as $220 per gram of CBD but most products range from $32-$111, slightly lower than prices in Canada.
Wholesale
If we look at wholesale prices there is more of a difference. 100% pure THC cannabis oil sells for $40,000 per kg while CBD hemp oil only sells for $6,500 per kg.
The difference in market prices are at least partially explained by the big differences in growing costs which we explore below.
Growing Costs for CBD from Hemp are Far Lower than for THC
Based on extensive data from farms in Alberta, the cost of growing hemp is $400-$500 per acre or less than a cent per gram of hemp.
The cost of producing 100% pure CBD oil, which is much more concentrated, only increases growing costs to $0.07 per gram.
In contrast, licensed producers grow THC-rich flower for $1.00-$3.00 per dry gram with the extra flower required to produce a gram of pure THC pushing the cost up to $16.00, 200x more costly than growing hemp.

CBD Demand Per Person Could be 3x-10x Higher Than THC
In the future, the average CBD user could be spending double or triple what the average Canadian spends on THC-rich cannabis today.
A powerful driver of CBD profitability is the increased consumption per person compared to psychoactive THC.
CBD lacks the intoxicating effects of THC allowing a much higher dose to be taken with no serious side effects.
According to Yasmin Hurd, an experienced CBD researcher, doses of 200mg of CBD or more are needed to achieve real health benefits, compared to 5mg to achieve a satisfactory effect for THC.
Product labels and online medical marijuana resources such as Greenrelief.ca and CanniMed Therapeutics confirm the difference in dosing, with a starting dose for CBD at 10-25 milligrams while a starting dose of THC is only 1-5 milligrams.
The average medical marijuana user in Canada spends $3-$6 a day on cannabis flower or oil according to Health Canada data, which means the average CBD user could be spending 3x-7x more, or up to $10,000 a year at current prices.
CBD oil could be a very lucrative new segment for the legal market.
Potential Revenue Opportunity 7x Higher with CBD
THC Oil CBD Oil
mg Consumed per Day 56 200
Grams per Year 20 73
Retail Price per Gram $50 $97
Yearly Revenue Per Person $1,018 $7,060
