The CEO declined to disclose any other specifics other than
"In May, a major grocery chain will begin carrying one of the brand’s edible CBD products"

We may not have to wait very long for a new major launch. A CEO of one of the other companies participating in the CVS launch is already looking beyond pharmacies and towards the grocery sector. "In May, a major grocery chain will begin carrying one of the brand’s edible CBD products" he says.

CVS mentions that Eurofins will do the 3rd party testing.This site shows that CV Sciences and Eurofins are somehow partners. Scroll down to CASP Partners.

They also audit our labs.
“We have total confidence in our lab, which is fully GMP compliant, and audited by Eurofins (an international network of food, supplement, and agricultural safety testing labs). We have an adverse events reporting system in place, and we established No Observed Adverse Effects Levels (NOAEL) status for our products, per criteria in the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act. This is the first formal toxicological work done on a hemp extract since 1981.”

Josh Hendrix mentioned in the radio show last week that he would be attending NOCO next week and after that heading to Italy. Still trying to track down whats going on in Italy.

Thanks for the Sprouts follow up.
On a positive note I just returned from a local San Diego market(Lazy Acres) that has once again began selling PlusCBD after pulling it from shelves because the packaging showed CBD on the label. At that time I emailed Joe who Looks like he straightened it out.

There are two Sprouts locations in San Diego selling PlusCBD. Maybe the start of national distribution? Or have they been there for awhile?

"We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the balance sheets and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company, and our report dated March 12, 2019, expressed an UNQUALIFIED opinion."

From 10 K.
"results of operations and cash flows of CV Sciences as of, and for, the periods presented in this Form 10-K. Tanner LLC has issued an unqualified opinion on our financial statements, which appears on page F-2"

Definition of a unqualified opinion is "the most common type of auditor's report. ... It is just a letter in the auditor's report that states that the company's financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and have not hidden any important facts"

Seems like the leading possible replacements for FDA chief will be pro cbd.

“CBD has negligible potential for abuse,” wrote Dr. Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary for health in the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, FDA’s parent agency.

Giroir noted that CBD doesn’t meet the description of even the least-restrictive class of controlled substances, Schedule 5.

Will the Alkaline water company be using CV Sciences GRAS hemp extract.
"A88 Infused is also developing and preparing for the initial launch of its planned hemp extract product, which will be marketed under the trademark Soothe™. In the event FDA issues appropriate regulations or guidance or determines that it has no questions that hemp extract is GRAS under intended conditions of use that would permit A88 Infused to market hemp extract in water without food additive approval, we expect to produce and sell Soothe™ as both a sparkling water in cans and as still water in bottles.

We may also decide to market Soothe™ if a supplier meets and complies with FDA’s GRAS regulations with respect to a self-certification regarding the safety and GRAS status of the use of hemp extract.

We expect to produce Soothe™ as a low calorie or no calorie, hemp extract-infused water in five flavors. We may change the composition of our planned hemp-extract-infused product as necessary to comply with federal, state or local laws, regulations or guidance".

Been studying up on cellular agriculture and it seems a perfect fit for a innovative company like CV Sciences. In the future most cannabinoids will be produced this way. It may not be just a coincidence why CVSI trademarked
"New Harvest".

"In New Harvest’s proposed cellular agriculture cannabinoid production, bacteria or yeast cells will be grown and synthesize the cannabinoids rather than plants. The benefit is that these unicellular cultures can be grown much more easily, and very quickly, compared to growing the number of plants it would require to produce the same amount of cannabinoid. The cannabinoids will still be the exact same molecule and will be manufactured utilizing a “natural” rather than synthetic chemical production method"

Maybe my email to Joe made a difference. They corrected the CBD PLUS to PLUS CBD. The story has been picked up by other large sites so it was good to make the correction

Again. Their Test Products went through rigorous FDA scrutiny. All hemp seed oil test products would be different. Here is their 277 page FDA sumission for GRAS Why would they bother if all their competitors can just
claim GRAS because of their study?

This test article has the self affirmed GRAS. It just so happens to contain CBD. CV Science other two products (Green and Brown}can not be claimed to be GRAS. CV Sciences has GRAS for a TEST ARTICLE not a CBD product.Our
Gold PLUSCBD just happens to match the TEST ARTICLE. Another company would
have to show their TEST ARTICLE Matches CV Sciences Test Article or do their own toxicology for GRAS

"CV Sciences, Inc. (San Diego, CA) supplied the test article, a proprietary supercritical CO2 extract of the aerial parts of hemp (C. sativa). Certified growers in Europe harvest the C. sativa and dry the raw materials (aerial parts) of the plant, which are then processed via a critical CO2 extraction to obtain the oil. Edible fatty acids comprise 61% of this concentrated extract, while phytocannabinoids are present at 26% (of this, approximately 96% is CBD and less than 1% is THC); the remaining 13% include fatty alkanes, plant sterols, triterpenes, and tocopherols and thus approximately 100% of the extract constituents are accounted for. Newly developed analytical methods and testing since the time these studies were performed have also consistently revealed low levels of other phytocannabinoids (e.g., cannabichromene, cannabigerol, cannabicyclol, and cannabinol) in subsequent batches of this natural extract of the aerial parts of hemp

CV Sciences had a vape product a couple of years ago called purified liquids. I believe it was discontinued but you can still find it. I too would like to see a pet and vape product. They just maintained the domain

I emailed Joe this morning about this Bloomberg story. I told him
they incorrectly said that CBD PLUS was our main product and that CBD Plus

Blacksburg, VA – February 2019

Bring your body back into balance with Pervida Calm – containing an impressive 12 mg of Full Spectrum Hemp Oil (CBD), Pervida Calm is available in Blackberry Papaya, with two new flavors set to release in 2019.

“Calm is designed to promote a sense of relaxation. Our special blend of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients take advantage of the mind-gut connection, and further enhance the health benefits associated with CBD,” says Josep Bassaganya-Riera, Founder and CEO of Pervida. “Pervida functional beverages ensure that your body is getting a full health boost in every can and utilize every opportunity to elevate their health benefits.”

Pervida Calm has seen a meteoric rise in interest from retailers and consumers alike as the Farm Bill of 2018 passed into legislation. Part of the draw, retailers say, revolves around Pervida’s GRAS-Certified, Farm Bill regulated, full spectrum industrial hemp oil. Meeting all these requirements has been elemental to retailer’s trust in the product
