Denver Business Journal
Molson Coors Brewing Co. said its Canadian unit is entering into a deal that will develop cannabis-infused beverages in Canada.

Marijuana use in Canada will become legal later this year.

$HEMP Hemp, Inc. is a publically traded company (OTC: HEMP) that was founded in 2008. The company's long-term goal is to be the leader in the industrial hemp industry in America, which is now estimated to be over $500 Million. Hemp, Inc.'s mission is to provide green solutions that help make the world a better place to live. We support products that are eco friendly, organic, healthy, and solutions that replace many petroleum-based products. In a forward thinking move, Hemp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC purchased the largest decortication plant in North America, which is located in Spring Hope, North Carolina. The plant is housed in a 70,000 square foot warehouse on 9 acres and is scheduled for completion in the last quarter of 2015. The company will start producing fiber, loss circulation materials (LCM) and absorbents from kenaf and later from hemp. Initially, Hemp, Inc. will produce a product for drilling rigs called "lost circulation material" (LCM), which is used for maintaining the seals when drilling for water, oil, gas, and any other liquid or gas. This product alone is capable of producing millions of dollars in revenue, since some of the largest oil companies in the world will be our primary customers. Eventually, the company will produce fiber materials for the paper and fabric industries, and other industries that utilize materials from hemp to make products such as plastics, building materials, health and beauty related products and more. Hemp, Inc. plans to purchase, acquire and/or joint venture with complimentary companies across various sectors of the hemp industry in an effort to build a portfolio of synergistic businesses that will bring Hemp, Inc. cash flow, revenues, value, and position us as a leader in the industrial hemp industry. https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/HEMP/profile

AeroGrow Reports Strong Third Quarter Results
GlobeNewswire•February 13, 2018
Quarterly Net Revenue up 31% to $17.4MM
9 Month Net Revenue up 45% to $25.6MM
Profitable Quarterly Operating Results
Strong Sell-thru in e-Commerce and Retail Channels
Successful New Product Launches
BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AeroGrow International, Inc. (AERO) ("AeroGrow" or the "Company"), which is the manufacturer and distributor of the world’s leading indoor gardening systems – the AeroGarden line of Smart Countertop Gardens – announced results for the third quarter of its fiscal year, ended December 31, 2017.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2017 the Company recorded net revenue of $17.4 million, an increase of 31% over the same period in the prior year. Year-to-date, net revenue increased by 45% to $25.6 million. Income from operations for the quarter was $406 thousand, a slight decline from $622 thousand in the prior year period due to increased marketing expenditures. For the 9 month period, loss from operations improved to ($452) thousand from ($658) thousand in the prior year.
“Our third quarter results continued the strong momentum we’ve been generating for the past several years,” said AeroGrow President & CEO J. Michael Wolfe. “The key takeaway from our third quarter – which included the critical holiday selling season – was that we had exceptional sell-thru results at all of our key retailers, driving our 31% overall top line growth year-over-year. Distribution successes included double-digit sell-thru increases at established accounts including Amazon.com and Bed, Bath & Beyond. We also achieved successful first year results at Kohl’s, Macy’s, Canadian Tire and Target, and solid results from established partners like Sur La Table, Walmart.com and others. Our Direct-to-Consumer business continued to show good results and we generated 200%+ growth on our Amazon platforms in Europe, albeit off of a relatively small base.
“In addition to our strong sell-thru, our new products were very well received – particularly the AeroGarden Farm, which is our most advanced indoor garden ever with 24 pods, automatically-adjustable 120 watt LED grow lights, and 24 inches of growing height that offer our biggest and best growing experience yet. The Farm experienced exceptional sales results on our Direct-to-Consumer platform – encouraging at its greater than $500 price point. We also launched our all new Harvest Wi-Fi AeroGarden on Amazon’s Cyber Monday Deal of the Day event – and were completely sold out within just hours.
“To help drive our double digit sales growth and build the brand for the long-term, we increased some of our marketing investments which caused a slight decline in our operating income vs. last year. Margins also declined slightly due to significantly increased sales to Brick and Mortar accounts, which are sold at lower margins. However, both our operating income and our margins were in-line with our internal plans. We had no debt as of December 31st along with a cash balance of $2.2 million, and $9.7 million of healthy receivables.
“There is one other matter, related to Board governance, that I would like to report. Effective March 31, 2018, Mr. Jack J. Walker and Mr. Wayne Harding will be stepping down from the AeroGrow Board of Directors. I know I speak for the entire Board and the employees of AeroGrow in expressing my deep gratitude for Jack and Wayne’s steady guidance, wisdom and support during their time on our Board. Both of these gentlemen have been instrumental in helping build AeroGrow into the company that it has become. To both Jack and Wayne: A truly heartfelt “thank you.” Nominated to take their place as independent directors on our Board will be Mr. H. MacGregor Clarke and Mr. David B. Kent. Greg Clarke formerly served as AeroGrow’s Chief Financial Officer and now holds the post of Senior Vice President & CFO for Johns Manville, a Berkshire Hathaway company. Dave Kent has an extensive background in growing consumer product companies through his experience with Proctor & Gamble Co., E. & J. Gallo Winery, and The Wine Group LLC. I’m looking forward to working with both Greg and Dave, along with the other members of our Board, in continuing to build AeroGrow in the years to come.
“We had a terrific holiday selling season, and I believe it sets us up for continued strong growth through increased distribution, exciting new products and strong innovation. I look forward to updating you with our continued progress.”
HempAmericana Fully Executes Contract To Acquire Local Farm for Seed Production
GlobeNewswire•February 14, 2018
NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE -- HempAmericana, Inc. (HMPQ) (“HempAmericana” or the “Company”) is excited to announce the potential acquisition of a ten acres farm in Maine. The Company plans to use the facility for genetic testing and cultivation of super high-potency seeds as a supply input for its CBD Oil extraction and processing facility in nearby Augusta, Maine.
Seven acres of the 10 acres are encircled by a deer fence and features a full drainage system and multiple spring-fed wells for irrigation. The property has been cleared and is farming-ready at present. The Company plans to construct multiple greenhouses on the farm as well.
As far as productive capacity, management believes the farm can support as many as 84,000 hemp plants. The Company plans to employ special strains known for generating super-concentrated CBD yields, and to genetically cross them with other strains to maximize the potency of CBD Oil being produced at its primary extraction and processing facility.
HempAmericana CEO, Salvador Rosillo, commented, “One of the benefits of being in a strong financial position before switching on a new major facility is the ability to make strategic investments in key inputs to date the company has zero Bank debt. Owning our own seed cultivation and research facility will not only grant the Company strength at the negotiating table but will also allow us to invest in truly putting the highest quality product out there while acting as a dampening force to counter price gouging in the regional hemp seed market.”
This step toward verticalization may be followed by additional steps of a similar nature in 2018 as the Company continues to lay down a foundation capable of supporting an industry-dominant position as a high-capacity producer in the $2.1B CBD Oil space.
Mr. Rosillo continued, “We aren’t just looking to become the biggest high-potency CBD Oil operation east of the Mississippi... We are setting the stage to become the go-to force at all levels of this business.”
About HempAmericana, Inc.
HempAmericana is currently in the rolling paper and CBD oil business using the brand name Weed Got Oil. Search Rolling Thunders hemp papers on YouTube for a product demonstration of the Company's papers. The company owns an extraction machine and now plans to become a leader in the CBD oil market by establishing three laboratories for the extraction and research of the oils contained in the hemp plant.

GrowLife, Inc. Files Provisional Patent on Plant Waste Manufacturing Process as Part of Product Innovation and Sustainable Solutions Initiative
Business Wire Business WireFebruary 28, 2018
KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
GrowLife, Inc. (PHOT) (“GrowLife”), one of the nation’s most recognized indoor cultivation service and product providers, today announced that it has filed a provisional patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), through its wholly owned subsidiary GrowLife Innovations, on an novel process to repurpose waste plant materials into building materials and other products for use in indoor cultivation centers.
The patent, which specifically addresses waste materials from plants of the cannabis family following extraction of oils used to make consumer products, provides for a process of manufacturing left-behind fibrous plant materials into polymer composites. A commonly known fiber-reinforced composite is fiberglass, among many others.
“This proprietary process will provide the entire industry with a sustainable solution to a problem that is only going to get worse as demand for plant-based products increases which has barely been identified and will have a huge impact on profitability of cultivators in the future,” said Marco Hegyi, CEO of GrowLife. “Cultivators are being held responsible for disposal of these used plant materials at a great cost to them with little to no options for reuse of the materials. This patent will help us to continue to meet the needs of our customers while furthering our mission of helping them maximize their revenue while keeping costs down, further positioning GrowLife as the go-to solution for innovative indoor cultivation services, products and technologies.”
As the regulatory environment for cannabis production in the United States shifts to favor legalization and consumer demand for oils and concentrates increases – currently accounting for about 20 percent of all legal marijuana sales and growing at a rate of 125 percent, according to BDS Analytics – the amount of plants produced for extraction will continue to rise. Experts estimate that 80 percent or more of plant material is wasted after the processing and extraction of oils and concentrates from cannabis plants. Based on some estimates that the United States produces 22 million pounds of marijuana each year, waste of post-extracted plants could be estimated to be over 17 million pounds each year.
“We designed this process to help achieve our mission of making our customers more efficient in their production,” said David Reichwein, Vice President of R&D for GrowLife. “We identified an area of extreme waste for our customers that is not only inefficient but is non-sustainable. This method would take these used plant materials and repurpose them into a line of sustainable and eco-friendly products for use in our customers’ grow facilities among other commercial building applications.”
He continued, “This process uses by-products from processed plants differentiated to their molecular phenol species, to prepare polymer composites that have broad applications such as stable plasticizers with anti-microbial properties. For example, if polar binders are utilized, which include but are not limited to polyester, polyolefin, lactic, butadiene materials, the cannabis fibers can be saline influenced/amine groups/vulcanized to improve computability, essentially creating a non-toxic and environmentally safe plastic.”
Wholly-owned subsidiary GrowLife Innovations is tasked with researching and developing new products and methodologies that ultimately revolutionize the indoor plant cultivation industry through its product and service offerings.
