“Aurora will probably not make a bid for CWEB as they have a poison pill for any acquirers. Way too expensive. CVSI is a much better bet.”
This is from CWEB's IPO prospectus:
If an offer is being made for Proportionate Voting Shares (a “PVS Offer”) where: (i) by reason of applicable
securities legislation or stock exchange requirements, the offer must be made to all holders of the class of
Proportionate Voting Shares; and (ii) no equivalent offer is made for the Common Shares, the holders of Common
Shares have the right, pursuant to the Articles, at their option, to convert their Common Shares into Proportionate
Voting Shares for the purpose of allowing the holders of the Common Shares to tender to such PVS Offer, provided
that such conversion into Proportionate Voting Shares will be solely for the purpose of tendering the Proportionate
Voting Shares to the PVS Offer in question and that any Proportionate Voting Shares that are tendered to the PVS
Offer but that are not, for any reason, taken up and paid for by the offeror will automatically be reconverted into the
Common Shares that existed prior to such conversion.
In the event that holders of Common Shares are entitled to convert their Common Shares into Proportionate Voting
Shares in connection with a PVS Offer pursuant to (ii) above, holders of an aggregate of Common Shares of less
than 400 (an “Odd Lot”) will be entitled to convert all but not less than all of such Odd Lot of Common Shares into
an applicable fraction of one Proportionate Voting Share, provided that such conversion into a fractional
Proportionate Voting Share will be solely for the purpose of tendering the fractional Proportionate Voting Share to
the PVS Offer in question and that any fraction of a Proportionate Voting Share that is tendered to the PVS Offer but
that is not, for any reason, taken up and paid for by the offeror will automatically be reconverted into the Common
Shares that existed prior to such conversion.

Aurora Cannabis stock to be pressured by need for 'significant' capital raise, analyst say
Provided by Dow Jones

https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/2019091293/aurora-cannabis-stock-to-be-pressured-by-need-for-significant-capital-raise-analyst-says
“Stifel Nicolaus analyst Andrew Carter reiterated his hold rating, saying he believed the stock will remain under pressure given expectations of a capital raise in the coming months. "
“Aurora will have to come to the capital markets by calendar 1Q20 for a significant ask to fund the aggressive growth agenda," Carter wrote in a note to clients. He believes that is likely to weigh on investors sentiment.”

Perhaps this is ANOTHER reasoning behind the divesting of TGOD. If you trust the source you understand. Have Mercy Wolf ahooooooo
Aurora's sale of its stake in TGOD is sensible. The company has divested nearly its entire TGOD stake and has made great profit on its investment. Selling shares gives Aurora significant liquidity, which will help the company along its path to generating positive free cash flow.
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4290086-aurora-sells-tgod-stake-impact-implications
Aurora invested in TGOD to secure a sustainable supply of premium organic cannabis. But in January 2019, the company purchased Whistler Medical for $175 million. Whistler Medical produces premium organic cannabis - so Aurora no longer needed its supply deal with TGOD.

AP. And they are slowly diluting those shares, say around 14 percent per month according to the great DD of Brother Brevin.

Aurora Cannabis shares (ACB) closed more than 9% lower Thursday after reporting financial results for its fourth quarter that missed the company’s own estimates.
The Canadian cannabis giant reported C$98.9 million ($74.83 million USD) in net revenue for the quarter, which missed the C$100-C$107 million range the company had been projecting ahead of reporting results. The company also reported a wider-than-expected C$0.29 loss per share compared to the C$0.06 loss analysts polled by Bloomberg had been bracing for.
“If you’re asking if we’re a little red-faced, yes we are,” Aurora’s Chief Corporate Officer Cam Battley told Yahoo Finance, blaming the miss on the company’s ancillary businesses. “If you take a look at our core business, our cannabis businesses, we came in exactly where we guided for which was between C$90 [million] and C$95 [million] and we came in at C$95 million.”

FDA modifies submission system for new dietary ingredient, structure/function claim notifications
1
September 5, 2019
On Sept. 6, 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will begin using a different electronic submission system for accepting and storing new dietary ingredient notification (NDIN) and structure/function claim notification (SFCN) electronic submissions. As part of the agency’s ongoing modernization efforts, the new system—the CFSAN Online Submission Module (COSM)—is replacing the current electronic submission system (the FDA Unified Registration Listing System, also known as FURLS) for NDIN and SFCN submissions. COSM system users will submit the same information as FURLS system users.
Beginning on September 6:
All system users will see a new interface when accessing the electronic portal for NDIN and SFCN submissions.
User information previously stored in the FURLS database, including login information, will automatically be transferred to the new electronic submission portal in COSM.
Users who currently have draft submissions pending in FURLS must complete and submit their notification within 30 days of initiating the process. For assistance with completing an application in FURLS, please contact FURLSSupport@FDA.hhs.gov. After the 30-day period, notifications must be resubmitted in COSM for agency review.

Essential oils are made from the aromatic parts of plants, not necessarily the flowers, so oils tend to heal differently than do flower essences. Flower essences have no scent and are normally ingested; essential oils are usually applied to the skin.
Ethereal Oils are natural, liquid aroma compounds that are mostly obtained by extraction from plants. ... We offer the following Essential Oils : Eucalyptus Oil 60%, 70%, 80% Eucalyptol.
An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile (easily evaporated at normal temperatures) chemical compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetherolea, or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove. An essential oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence of" the plant's fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived.[1] The term "essential" used here does not mean indispensable, as with the terms essential amino acid or essential fatty acid, which are so called because they are nutritionally required by a given living organism.[2] In contrast to fatty oils, essential oils typically evaporate completely without leaving a stain or residue.
Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation, often by using steam. Other processes include expression, solvent extraction, sfumatura, absolute oil extraction, resin tapping, wax embedding, and cold pressing. They are used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and other products, for flavoring food and drink, and for adding scents to incense and household cleaning products.
Essential oils are often used for aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine in which healing effects are ascribed to aromatic compounds. Aromatherapy may be useful to induce relaxation, but there is not sufficient evidence that essential oils can effectively treat any condition.[3] Improper use of essential oils may cause harm including allergic reactions and skin irritation, and children may be particularly susceptible to the toxic effects of improper use.[4][

Foodarom
Today the company has more than 95 employees located at a home base in Montreal, all the way to San Diego and a brand-new branch in Germany. “We’re expanding in sales by 25 to 35 percent every year,” reveals Miclette. “We’re still Canadian owned, but we’ve expanded globally to be close to our clients, which are all over North America, Europe and now Asia. We have plans to expand more on a global scale.”

Why would Danisco file for a Trademark in the USA and leave out pertinent information such as... “Acceptable entity types include an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a joint venture, or the foreign equivalent. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(3)(i)-(ii); TMEP §§803.03 et seq. “
Why did they delay their trademark process for another six months or more on purpose? Truly they know how to file for Federal Trademark protection. Have Mercy Wolf ahooooooo

SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
ENTITY REQUIRED
IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES
ENTITY REQUIRED
Applicant must specify its form of business or type of legal entity and its national citizenship or foreign country of organization or incorporation. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(3)(i)-(ii), 7.25(a)-(b); TMEP §§803.03, 803.04, 1904.02(a). This information is required in all U.S. trademark applications, including those filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a) (also known as “requests for extension of protection of international registrations to the United States”). See 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(3)(i)-(ii), 7.25(a)-(b); TMEP §§803.03, 803.04, 1904.02(a).
Acceptable entity types include an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a joint venture, or the foreign equivalent. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(3)(i)-(ii); TMEP §§803.03 et seq.
If applicant’s entity type is an individual, applicant must indicate his or her national citizenship for the record. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(3)(i); TMEP §803.04. If applicant’s entity type is a corporation, association, partnership, joint venture, or the foreign equivalent, applicant must set forth the foreign country under whose laws applicant is organized or incorporated. 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §§803.03(b)-(c), 803.04. For an association, applicant must also specify whether the association is incorporated or unincorporated, unless the foreign country and the designation or description “association/associazione” appear in Appendix D of the Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP). TMEP §803.03(c).
If applicant is organized under the laws of a foreign province or geographical region, applicant should specify both the foreign province or geographical region and the foreign country in which the province or region is located. See TMEP §803.04. To provide this information online via the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) response form, applicant must (1) locate the “Entity Type” heading and select “Other;” (2) locate the “Specify Entity Type” heading and select “Other” under the Foreign Entity option, and enter in the free-text field below both applicant’s entity type and the foreign province or geographical region of its organization (e.g., partnership of Victoria); and (3) locate the “State or Country Where Legally Organized” heading and select the appropriate foreign country (e.g., Australia) under the Non-U.S. Entity option. See id.
IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES
Certain wording in the identification of goods and/or services in International Class(es) 001, 003, 005, 009, 016, 029, 030, 031, 042, and 044 is indefinite and too broad. This wording must be clarified because it is not clear what the goods and/or services are and could identify goods and/or services in more than one international class. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03, 1904.02(c), (c)(ii).
In an application filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), an applicant may not change the classification of goods and/or services from that assigned by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization in the corresponding international registration. 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b). Therefore, although the goods and/or services may be classified in several international classes, any modification to this wording must identify goods and/or services in International Class(es) 001, 003, 005, 009, 016, 029, 030, 031, 042, and 044 only, the class(es) specified in the application for these goods and/or services. See TMEP §1904.02(c), (c)(ii).
Particular wording in the identification in the application is indefinite and must be clarified because it does not appear to describe any goods and/or services in the identified international class(es). See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1904.02(c)(iii). Generally, a trademark examining attorney will recommend language to replace unacceptable wording in identifications of goods and/or services. See TMEP §1402.01(e). However, in this case, the trademark examining attorney is unable to suggest alternative wording because the text that follows in International Class(es) 042 is indefinite and does not appear to describe any goods and/or services in that class(es): “licensing of intellectual property rights, computer programs and software.” See TMEP §1904.02(c)(iii).
Applicant may respond by amending this wording to clarify the nature of the goods and/or services; however, any amendment to the identification must identify goods and/or services in International Class(es) 042 and be within the scope of the wording in the initial application. See TMEP §§1402.01(c), 1402.07(a), 1904.02(c)(iii). The scope of the identification for purposes of permissible amendments is limited by the international class(es) assigned by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (International Bureau). 37 C.F.R. §2.85(f); TMEP §§1402.07(a), 1904.02(c). If an applicant amends to goods and/or services that are in a class other than that assigned by the International Bureau, the amendment will not be accepted because it would exceed the scope and those goods and/or services would no longer have a basis for registration under U.S. law. TMEP §§1402.01(c), 1904.02(c).
Alternatively, applicant may delete this unacceptable wording from the identification. See TMEP §1904.02(c)(iii)-(iv). However, once an application has been expressly amended to delete goods and/or services, those items generally may not later be re-inserted. See TMEP §1402.07(e).
If applicant believes the classification assigned by the International Bureau was in error, applicant may contact the International Bureau and request correction of, or recordation of a limitation to, the international registration. TMEP §1904.02(c)(iii)-(iv), (e)(i)-(e)(ii). However, filing such a request with the International Bureau is not considered a formal response to this Office action. See TMEP §1904.02(c)(iv), (e)(iii). Applicant must also file a timely and complete response to this Office action, stating that applicant has filed a request for a correction or to record a limitation with the International Bureau that will resolve the outstanding issue. See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.62(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03, 1904.02(c)(iii)-(iv), (e)(iii). The response should include (1) a copy of the request for correction or limitation filed with the International Bureau and (2) a request to suspend action on the application, which will normally be granted under such circumstances. See TMEP §§716.02(g), 1904.02(c)(iii)-(iv).
The wording “including in the identification of goods is indefinite and must be deleted and replaced with a definite term, such as “namely,” “consisting of,” “particularly,” or “in particular.” See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03(a). The identification must be specific and all-inclusive. This wording is an open-ended term (e.g., “including,” “such as”) that is not acceptable because it fails to identify specific goods. See TMEP §1402.03(a).
Applicant has included the term “and/or” or “or” in the identification of goods and/or services. However, this term is generally not accepted in identifications when (1) it is unclear whether applicant is using the mark, or intends to use the mark, on all the identified goods or services; (2) the nature of the goods and services is unclear; or (3) classification cannot be determined from such wording. See TMEP §1402.03(a). In this case, the use of “or” makes it unclear whether applicant is using the mark on all of the identified goods and the nature of the goods is unclear.
An application must specify, in an explicit manner, the particular goods or services on or in connection with which the applicant uses, or has a bona fide intention to use, the mark in commerce. See 15 U.S.C. §1051(a)(2), (b)(2); 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. Therefore, applicant should replace “and/or” or “or” with “and” in the identification of goods or services, if appropriate, or rewrite the identification with the “and/or” or “or” deleted and the goods or services specified using definite and unambiguous language.
The identification of goods and/or services contains parentheses. Generally, applicants should not use parentheses and brackets in identifications in their applications so as to avoid confusion with the USPTO’s practice of using parentheses and brackets in registrations to indicate goods and/or services that have been deleted from registrations or in an affidavit of incontestability to indicate goods and/or services not claimed. See TMEP §1402.12. The only exception is that parenthetical information is permitted in identifications in an application if it serves to explain or translate the matter immediately preceding the parenthetical phrase in such a way that it does not affect the clarity or scope of the identification, e.g., “fried tofu pieces (abura-age).” Id.
Therefore, applicant must remove the parentheses from the identification and incorporate any parenthetical or bracketed information into the description of the goods and/or services.

The scope of the goods and/or services sets the outer limit for any changes to the identification and is generally determined by the ordinary meaning of the wording in the identification. TMEP §§1402.06(b), 1402.07(a)-(b). Any acceptable changes to the goods and/or services will further limit scope, and once goods and/or services are deleted, they are not permitted to be reinserted. TMEP §1402.07(e). Additionally, for applications filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), the scope of the identification for purposes of permissible amendments is limited by the international class assigned by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (International Bureau); and the classification of goods and/or services may not be changed from that assigned by the International Bureau. 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b). Further, in a multiple-class Section 66(a) application, classes may not be added or goods and/or services transferred from one existing class to another. 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §1401.03(d).

Of course, it would be great if this data was collected and published daily (with an appropriate delay).
“The Misleading” – Daily Short Volume
In contrast, the most frequently misinterpreted data is the Daily Short Volume, sometimes referred to as Naked Short Interest. This data shows the percentage of published trade reports (called media transactions in FINRA Rules) that were marked short. As an example, the recent data for OTC Markets Group shows that up to 90% of the trading volume comes from short selling on some days. If we did not carefully track our bi-weekly Short Interest, we could easily be led to believe that short selling is rampant in our stock.
The daily short selling volume is misleading because market makers and principal trading firms report a large number of trades as short sales in positions that they quickly cover. For market makers with a customer order to sell, they will temporarily sell short (which gets published to the tape as a media transaction for public dissemination) and then immediately buy from their customer in a non-media transaction that is not publicly disseminated to avoid double counting share volumes. SEC guidance also mandates that almost all principal trading firms that provide liquidity at multiple price levels, or arbitrage international securities, must mark orders they enter as short, even though those firms might also have strategies that tend to flatten by end of day. Since the trade reporting process for market makers and principal trades makes the Daily Short Volume easily misleading, we do not display it on www.otcmarkets.com.
Making daily short reporting data easily-digestible and relevant is not hard. On the contrary, it should be easy to aggregate all of the short selling that is reported as agency trades, as well as all of the net sum of buying and selling by each market maker and principal trading firm. This would paint a clear picture for investors of overall daily short selling activity. Fixing the misleading daily short selling data would bring greater transparency and trust to the market.

GRAS vs. NDI
http://www.nutritionaloutlook.com/regulatory/gras-vs-ndi
FDA regulatory compliance is always a key concern of ingredient suppliers and manufacturers of both foods and dietary supplements. In general, there are two key regulatory pathways for these types of products: Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) or New Dietary Ingredient (NDI).
First, GRAS: The Food Additives Amendment to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act in 1958 established the need for premarket approval for food additives; at the same time, this legislation carved out an exception for premarket approval for substances that are Generally Recognized as Safe, or GRAS. Today, for food substances, we see the substantially increased use of GRAS status (either self-affirmed GRAS or GRAS as established through FDA GRAS notification procedures) as the preferred avenue for compliance with FDA requirements,1 with diminished reliance on the food additive petitioning process.
As for NDIs: The 1994 passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act similarly established that dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients must be safe before they are marketed, in order to comply with FDA requirements. New Dietary Ingredients, or NDIs—i.e., substances added to dietary supplement products that had not been incorporated into dietary supplement products in the United States prior to October 15, 1994—are subject to specific requirements as presently detailed in 21 CFR 190.6. In July 2011, FDA published its NDI draft guidance document to provide industry members with more clarity and details about the NDI requirements and process. As presently constituted, this guidance document would require NDI notifications (NDINs) to be submitted to FDA for a broad array of materials of interest unless, 1) they are documented as “old dietary ingredients” (those that have been used in dietary supplement products in the United States prior to the October 15, 1994 date), or 2) they are for other reasons exempt from the NDIN requirements.
GRAS Connection to NDI Draft Guidance
The NDI draft guidance document2 addressed GRAS status directly when explaining which substances would be exempt from the NDIN process. In particular, according to the guidance, one need not submit a NDIN to FDA if the substance of interest already has GRAS status for direct addition to food—either by FDA or self-affirmation—or if a substance has been approved as a direct food additive in the United States. These NDIN exemptions apply as long as the substance in question has been used in the food supply and is to be used as a NDI without chemical alteration.
It thus appears that one can obtain GRAS status for a substance for use in conventional food and, after establishing such conventional food usage, this substance would be eligible for use in dietary supplements without the need for NDI notification.
This prompts a crucial question, then: Should a company go the NDI route or the GRAS route? We will explore the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, taking into consideration individual circumstances and marketing approaches.
GRAS vs. NDI: Pros and Cons
In assessing the potential advantages and disadvantages of the NDI and GRAS regulatory pathways, one may raise the fundamental question: Why does it matter whether an ingredient manufacturer or supplier elects to pursue NDI or GRAS status? First and foremost, of course, companies do so to comply with FDA requirements to ensure that resulting conventional foods and/or dietary supplements are not adulterated. In addition to this, the manner in which a firm intends to market a product—as a conventional food, as a dietary supplement, or both—strongly dictates the regulatory pathway to be followed.
Safety Standard
Both substances added to conventional foods, as well as dietary ingredients found in dietary supplements, must be established to be safe, but different safety standards apply. Going by the NDI draft guidance, dietary ingredients face a “lesser” safey standard whereby the new dietary ingredient does not present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury. In contrast, GRAS substances (and food additives) must meet the “higher” safety standard of reasonable certainty of no harm under the intended use conditions.
In surveying Table 1, it would appear that the NDI approach would be more advantageous because it requires a lesser burden to establish safety. In actual practice, however, in FDA’s review of NDINs, the agency has deemed only approximately 30% of the submissions as favorable. Compared to this, the FDA favorable review for GRAS notifications is closer to 75%. With the “lesser” safety standard seemingly in place for new dietary ingredients, why this difference in favor of GRAS?
The magnitude of this difference may at least in part reflect FDA’s greater familiarity in applying the “reasonable certainty” safety standard to GRAS and food additives, which dates back to 1958. The fact that many FDA scientists may have greater familiarity and experience applying scientific judgment, over a much longer timeframe, in GRAS notification evaluations may contribute to this success ratio differential, to the detriment of new dietary ingredients.
How FDA interprets safety for NDINs compared to that for GRAS notifications and food additives is a critical issue to be considered prospectively, and this topic has been addressed more fully elsewhere.3
Public Information
NDI evaluations do not require publicly available safety documentation, as opposed to the case with GRAS notifications submitted to FDA or self-affirmed GRAS assessments. Furthermore, confidential information can more easily be withheld or protected from public release in the case of NDINs than with GRAS notifications submitted to FDA. Bear in mind, however, that the information providing the basis for self-affirmed GRAS determinations can be maintained as confidential if the firm undertaking the self-affirmed GRAS evaluation takes appropriate efforts to preserve information confidentiality.
Review Timeframe
NDINs are reviewed within a shorter timeframe than FDA-submitted GRAS notifications. NDI evaluations are completed within 75 days, while FDA may take 180 days or more to complete the review of GRAS notifications, especially if substantive questions arise during the FDA review phase. Self-affirmed GRAS determinations, in contrast, are not subject to any additional time for completion since no filing occurs with FDA and no FDA oversight is undertaken which could lengthen the timeframe.
Flexibility
It is important to bear in mind that NDINs apply only to dietary supplement products and not to conventional foods. GRAS status, on the other hand, provides the advantage in that, as previously discussed, under the current version of the NDI draft guidance document, GRAS status may extend to dietary supplements if the substance in question has been used in foods (and has not undergone chemical alterations) prior to the addition to dietary supplements.
Thus, establishing GRAS status provides the potential advantage of having broader applications to both conventional foods and dietary supplements.
GMP Considerations
A further advantage of GRAS status is the requirement that production of finished food products must comply with the less onerous food Good Manufacturing Practices regulations found in 21 CFR 110, while dietary supplements must meet the more demanding dietary supplement Good Manufacturing Practices requirements detailed in 21 CFR 111.
FDA Letter Used in Marketing
In their marketing materials, numerous ingredient manufacturers and suppliers highlight the regulatory status of their substances. Many use a favorable FDA determination to enhance the marketing efforts for their substances; receiving a NDI authorization or a GRAS “no questions” letter from FDA is highly valued and can serve to favorably distinguish one’s substance from a competitor’s. However, self-affirmed GRAS determinations—which can still trigger the exemption from NDI filing if conventional food uses can be established—provide no FDA validation for use in marketing initiatives. However, the process may be faster and less burdensome without FDA’s administrative intervention.
GRAS Over NDI
It is most prudent to consider the specifics of each individual substance when choosing a regulatory strategy. For example, for the GRAS exemption to apply to a substance in dietary supplement products (by virtue of either FDA GRAS notification or self-affirmed GRAS), the substance in question must be used in the food supply—i.e., in conventional foods. Not only that, appropriate documentation of such usage must be available. And, to be sure, some substances may not lend themselves to use in conventional foods due to unfavorable organoleptic characteristics, so the use of such substances may be restricted to dietary supplement products.
At this point in time, firms should consider establishing regulatory compliance by means of NDI notifications or GRAS status depending on their unique circumstances, noting inherent advantages and disadvantages with either approach. Overall, however—and generally speaking—the advantages of establishing GRAS status appear to outweigh the advantages of gaining FDA authorization for NDIs.
There is still uncertainty regarding the content contained in FDA’s NDI draft guidance document. Changes and refinements are likely, and such adjustments very well may alter the circumstances, obligations, and benefits of gaining FDA’s favorable review of a submitted NDI notification. It is important to recognize that the regulatory landscape for new ingredients is dynamic and that some changes must be anticipated. This aspect should be given appropriate consideration in assessing which regulatory pathway will better advance a firm’s specific objectives.

PRO MOUNTAIN BIKER CAM MCCAUL PARTNERS WITH PLUSCBD™ OIL
September 11, 2019
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:CVSI) (the “Company,” “CV Sciences,” “our” or “we”), a preeminent supplier and manufacturer of hemp cannabidiol (CBD) products, is pleased to announce they have partnered with professional mountain biker Cam McCaul to endorse industry-dominating PlusCBD™ Oil brand.
McCaul, one of the leading riders on the freeride mountain biking scene for the past two decades, has won major global freeride events, including Crankworx Colorado, the Bearclaw Invitational, District Ride, and the Claymore Challenge. McCaul wins audiences over with his array of tricks inspired by motocross and BMX, snowboarding and skiing. He was also featured in numerous mountain bike movies made by some of the best filmmakers around, including Freeride Entertainment, Chainsaw Productions and Anthill Films. McCaul was an early leader in the sport of mountain bike slopestyle and has helped innovate both the sport and the riding style.
McCaul turns to PlusCBD Oil for body aches and soreness. “Whether it be from crashing, digging, hiking, or just old nagging injuries, I’ve always got something that’s sore. The PlusCBD Oil Roll-on is my favorite product, because I can take it everywhere and it’s fast acting, so immediately I can feel it doing its thing,” said McCaul. "Then the added CBD feels like it calms the inflammation and I get a general feeling that I can get on with the day and not be balled up by stiffness and soreness.”
As a PlusCBD Oil brand ambassador, McCaul will participate in events, videos and social media content creation for CV Sciences’ use throughout the year in advertising, promotional activities and event marketing. The goal of the partnership is to create awareness and brand recognition among active consumers, action sports fans and participants to establish PlusCBD Oil as the leader in the action sports channel.
McCaul is also a broadcast announcer and makes PlusCBD Oil products a pivotal step prior to going live. “Before using PlusCBD Oil, I was struggling to stay focused during long live-broadcasts. My mind would start to wander and I was having a hard time visualizing the next handful of words that I wanted to say while listening to the director in my ear and planning where the conversation needs to go next. All this year I’ve been using PlusCBD capsules on broadcast days and it’s wild how much I feel like it’s been helping. On the 4th day of non-stop broadcasting, I feel as fresh as day one, I can see the words I’m planning to say before I say them, my mind isn’t wandering like it usually does, I can hear the director and make mental notes about where we’re going next. I won’t do a live broadcast without it now.”
PlusCBD™ Oil has the top-selling CBD supplement in the Total U.S. Natural Channel and its Extra Strength Balm ranks #1 in sales in both the Total U.S. Natural Channel and Total U.S. MULO (Multi Outlet) over the last 52 weeks* among CBD products within Topical Analgesics , according to SPINS and IRI data, respectively. Brightfield Group, a leading predictive analytics and market research firm for the CBD market, expects $1.3 billion in sales of hemp CBD topicals in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of 169% from 2018 – 2022.

We plan to launch additional new products next month in conjunction with the Natural Products Expo East tradeshow bringing our total new products for 2019 to 17. To support our growth, we recently announced the expansion of our operations with a new production and warehouse facility. The facility totals more than 45,000 square feet and will expand capacity for CBD oil production, warehousing and fulfilment by more than 500%. This facility is in San Diego and should be operational in the fourth quarter of this year.
