Political Wins Hold Promise for Strong Cannabis Strategies


NEWS PROVIDED BY
CannabisNewsWire 08:30 ET​



DENVER, November 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage
State ballots and the departure of Jeff Sessions have led to fresh confidence in the cannabis sector.

  • The cannabis industry is going through a period of huge growth.
  • Two states recently voted to legalize medical cannabis and one voted to legalize recreational cannabis.
  • The departure of Jeff Sessions removes a significant block for the industry.
  • A variety of strategies-some focused on product and others on support services-are emerging to make the most of this market.
Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTC: GNAL) (GNAL Profile) has developed a dual strategy to make the most of this opportunity, investing in both product and supplies for producers. MedMen Enterprises, Inc. (CSE:MMEN) (OTC: MMNFF) is financially supporting further legal reform while building up a cultivation and retail business across several states. KushCo Holdings Inc - Ordinary Shares (OTC: KSHB) has grown from a packaging company to one providing a range of support services. As new niches emerge, Green Organic Dutchman (OTC: TGODF) (TSX: TGOD) is staking its claim through a focus on organic, sustainably grown cannabis. Even non-cannabis companies are profiting from this growth, with Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (The) (NYSE: SMG) investing in hydroponics offerings that will supply crucial equipment to cannabis cultivators.

A Blooming Industry
Cannabis companies are in a jubilant mood following the results of last week's events in American politics. At the polls, two states voted to legalize medical cannabis while another voted to permit its recreational use. Though Congress lost several pro-cannabis Republicans, a majority for the Democrats, America's less conservative party, is a good omen for reform. And with President Trump's sacking of Jeff Sessions, the country is now rid of a staunchly anti-cannabis attorney general.
This opens the way for companies with strong cannabis strategies to make bold moves in the coming year. From entering new states to producing fresh product lines, the options for growth and development are many. A few key considerations define the strategies of the current cannabis players.
Product Versus Infrastructure
Two basic approaches to business strategy currently dominate the cannabis market - one based on infrastructure and the other based on product. However, these strategies don't have to be separate, and Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTC:GNAL) is building strong businesses by combining them. And the way this strategy plays out shows a lot about where the industry is at.
The product strategy is an obvious one and typically garners the most public attention. Companies going down the product path focus on the production, processing, and retail side of cannabis. These are the companies setting up farms and dispensaries, feeding the growing demand from consumers across North America. It a strategy that Generation Alpha recently moved into, under its previous name of Solis Tek, with the acquisition of cultivation and processing facilities.
The other strategy is to provide support services and supplies for product-oriented companies. As the market grows, there will be more and more need for such services, which profit off cannabis but are better insulated from shifts in the market and its political oversight. Generation Alpha started out with this strategy, as a vertically integrated technology innovator, developer, manufacturer and distributor bringing products and solutions to cannabis growers. Providing horticultural and lighting supplies, the company grew by providing cannabis growers with the equipment they needed.
Each strategy can work well on its own, but running a double strategy, while more complex, has real potential benefits. As both supplier and customer for cultivation equipment, companies such as Generation Alpha can create great efficiencies in their supply chains. And by developing both business streams, they can benefit from the security of a picks-and-shovels approach while also accessing the growing profits of the front-line cannabis trade.
Location, Location, Location
Choosing which states to operate in is an important consideration for American cannabis companies. Although it is widely anticipated to change, cannabis currently remains illegal at a federal level, and it is only through state-level initiatives that the market has been allowed to emerge. Cultivation and retail effectively operate on a statewide scale at best, so looking at where a state stands now and where it is likely to go in the future is vital to making savvy business decisions.
Arizona, where Generation Alpha recently acquired cultivation and processing facilities, provides a useful example of how local conditions shape the market. The state made medical cannabis legal in 2010. Despite a closely fought vote, opponents of cannabis have failed to overturn or limit the market despite ongoing campaigns. The state's supreme court even overturned a rule keeping medical cannabis off college campuses. Arizona's medical cannabis market seems secure.
In 2016, an attempt to legalize recreational cannabis in the state failed by a narrow margin. Medical legalization faced a similar setback in 2002, only eight years before passing. As recent generations are generally more liberal toward cannabis than their elders, it is likely that a similar pattern will play out for recreational cannabis, with a successful vote almost inevitable. Companies that have become established under the medical licensing laws will be in a strong position to make the most of this.
"We are excited about this opportunity in Arizona and its growth and profitability potential," said Generation Alpha CEO Alan Lien. "We are pleased to have partners such as Future Farm Technologies and Yorkville Advisors to collaborate and support the build-out and growth of this facility. Our collective experience and knowledge in cannabis will position this Arizona operation for success. We are excited to commence Phase 1 of the development and construction of our state-of-the-art cultivation and processing facility and look forward to many additional opportunities in the cannabis industry."
Expanding Operations
The potential of the Arizona market hasn't gone unnoticed by other companies. MedMen has invested heavily in getting into the state, acquiring a top Arizona medical cannabis wholesaler.
This is part of a wider pattern of companies spending big to secure their spots in a burgeoning cannabis sector. For example, drinks giant Constellation Brands has spent billions investing in a Canadian cannabis company to give itself a foothold in the industry. Canadian and American companies are looking at cross-border investment, while outsiders are moving into the market as well.
This big spending only adds to the strength of infrastructure plays such as Generation Alpha's strong position in cultivation equipment. Much of the money being invested will go into growing more cannabis. That means more hydroponics, lighting and related services will be needed across the legalized states. Any investment in cannabis cultivators ultimately becomes an investment in their suppliers.
Where Next for Cannabis?
The next few years promise solid growth for the cannabis industry in North America. Even before this month's political upheavals, analysts projected that the $9 billion industry would grow to $47.3 billion by 2027.
The fallout from the mid-terms means that investors can be even more confident about what happens next. The forced resignation of Jeff Sessions removes one of the biggest obstacles to growth for the cannabis industry in the United States. Sessions, a staunch opponent of cannabis, had rescinded the Obama-era memo committing federal law enforcement to non-intervention in state-level cannabis industries. With him gone, cannabis shares rose as businesses and investors looked forward to a more tolerant regime.
This won't mean an end to campaigning for MedMen Enterprises, Inc. - Ordinary Shares - Class B (Sub Voting)(CSE:MMEN) (OTCQX:MMNFF), the largest financial supporter of progressive marijuana laws, but it does mean that the company's campaigning efforts are more likely to pay off, creating space for expansion of its cultivation and retail business. The company already operates 19 facilities in four states and has recently announced the addition of a fifth, through a move into Arizona. Despite the limitations created by federal laws, MedMen is showing that cannabis companies can operate on an inter-state level.
Like Generation Alpha, KushCo Holdings Inc - Ordinary Shares (OTC: KSHB) entered the sector by providing support services to cannabis producers, in the form of packaging solutions. The company has since expanded its operations, creating a one-stop shop for the cannabis market. Seeing the huge potential currently available, it has recently formed an advisory board to guide strategic growth initiatives, making the most of a constantly expanding market.
While KushCo provides another example of the infrastructure strategy, Green Organic Dutchman (OTC: TGODF) (TSX: TGOD) is focused on product. A producer of organic, sustainably grown cannabis, the company is making the most of the connection between cannabis consumption and concern with environmental issues. In a market large enough to start dividing into specialist niches, it is tapping into the higher prices people will pay for organic products.
Not every company profiting from cannabis is focused on that market. Lawn, garden and outdoor living company Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (The) (NYSE: SMG) has been benefiting from the demand for cultivation equipment that cannabis's success brings. It recently acquired the United States' foremost distributor of hydroponic equipment, which is crucial to the cultivation of cannabis. As the cannabis industry grows, so too does hydroponics.
Political change offers further growth for an already flourishing industry, allowing profits from a wide range of strategies.

Cannabis Industry Stays in Spotlight with Ongoing Developments

November 29, 2018

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Profitability and more widespread legality are drawing fresh investment to the cannabis sector.

  • Major investors and outside companies are putting big money into cannabis.
  • Undervalued companies provide good opportunities for new investors in the sector.
  • Following the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada, companies in the United States are seeing even larger market caps.
  • As attitudes change, more cannabis companies are expected to soon be listed on major U.S. exchanges.
With a strong pick-and-shovel strategy alongside recent direct investment in cannabis, Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL) (GNAL Profile) is among the cannabis companies seeing good growth. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is moving to benefit from fresh investor interest through public offerings in Canada and the United States. Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has benefited from a substantial investment from Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ), the result of a trend in which U.S. alcohol and tobacco companies eye up cannabis. The industry’s upward trend is also reflected in the soaring revenues of Cronos Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON).

The Mainstreaming of Cannabis
A state-legal cannabis industry has existed in North America for more than 20 years. Since the legalization of medical marijuana in California in 1996, the industry has spread at a growing rate. The majority of U.S. states now allow its sale for medical purposes. One-fifth of the states, plus all of Canada, have legal recreational cannabis markets. Yet the cannabis industry remains on the fringe of the American economy, largely separate from the work of mainstream businesses and investors.
That’s now changing. Growing numbers of investors are putting money into cannabis, cannabis companies are able to raise substantial capital for growth initiatives, and large enterprises have taken an interest in cannabis-focused ventures with a view to establish partnerships and make investments. With these changes, cannabis becoming fully integrated into financial markets appears to be a logical next step.
The Acceptable Face of Cannabis
Over the past few years, the cannabis industry has seen growing acceptance of its place in society and the economy. This is due in no small part to the professionalism of the companies working in the sector, including companies such as Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL).
Generation Alpha started out as a support provider for the cannabis industry, taking a basic supply approach to the business. A vertically integrated technology innovator, the company developed, manufactured and distributed products and solutions for cannabis growers, which were springing up across the United States. As a supplier of horticultural and lighting equipment, GNAL provided essential supplies that cannabis cultivators relied on to grow their businesses.
Generation Alpha has seen rising investment in its organization. As recently as April, it announced a $25 million in investment from an existing shareholder under its previous name of Solis Tek. Other cannabis companies have also seen substantial investments over the past year.
The most practically and symbolically significant is the investment of $4 billion in Canadian company Canopy Growth by American beverage giant Constellation Brands. Not only does this move represent a huge financial boost for the company, but it also signifies an important moment for the entire industry. This massive investment from a beverage manufacturer reflects the growing interest of tobacco and alcohol companies in cannabis and their willingness to risk money in a relatively new industry, possibly signifying a bigger wave of change coming down the line.
Undervalued Assets
There’s a marked disparity between Constellations Brands’ investment in the sector and that recently received by Generation Alpha and other cannabis brands. The reason is likely because Constellation has recognized what others have not — many cannabis companies may be undervalued.
It’s hard to judge the value of assets in an industry that’s going through such big changes. But looking at the fundamentals, it’s easy to spot places where value may not yet be recognized.
Generation Alpha’s move into cultivation and processing of cannabis is an example of this. The company recently acquired a cultivation and processing facility in Phoenix, Arizona. GNAL is using its experience in the support side of the industry to turn this 70,000-square-foot space into a technologically advanced growing facility. With the site scheduled to become operational in the first half of 2019, the profit from this is decision should soon be realized.
The recent legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada this October showed the stark imbalance between supply and demand in the cannabis market. Within weeks, the country was facing a cannabis shortage as consumers rushed to enjoy a legal high. Similar patterns are likely to play out in U.S. states as legalization — whether for medical or for recreational purposes — spreads across the country. If, as many expect, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ departure leads the Trump administration to a more liberal stance, then rising demand is even more likely, ensuring both an eager market and a good price for the product coming out of Generation Alpha’s facility.
And then there’s the long view. Big businesses now have a vested interest in cannabis. This interest will naturally lead to heavier lobbying for reform of anti-cannabis laws; not just in the United States, but around the world. The next decade will likely be a time of huge global growth for the industry, thanks to social and political change. The value of companies such as Generation Alpha could grow significantly as these pioneering cannabis companies set their sights on becoming the backbone of a mature global industry.
The Canada Effect
Events in Canada provide the surest signs of the coming shift.
As the first G8 country to legalize recreational cannabis, Canada is setting an example for the world, converting cannabis consumption from a drain on law enforcement into an asset that provides tax income for the government. The change hasn’t just affected Canadian companies; it has also touched those in the United States, including Generation Alpha. Both north and south of the border, the market cap for cannabis has grown as investors strategically place their money into the burgeoning industry.
Canada is now leading the way in cannabis. While it might take time for the United States to catch up at a federal level, American companies are already feeling the benefits.
Onto the Exchanges
All this growth means more companies listing on major markets. Together with a broader social shift in attitudes towards cannabis, a change at the top of the economy is extremely likely. As the power of cannabis companies grows, it’s surely only a matter of time before major U.S. exchanges add more American cannabis companies. With that, these companies will be able to tap into even more resources through the finance of major investors. And once the inconsistency between federal and state law is addressed, major banking will add another route to funds.
Companies with strong, proven strategies will be best placed to benefit from this surge in funding. With its core pick-and-shovel strategy, Generation Alpha fits the bill. By supplying goods and services to cannabis growers, GNAL will be ideally positioned to profit from the growth while keeping a buffer between its core business and shifts in the price of cannabis. With innovations such as its high-efficiency LED lighting system, the company will be a strong competitor among other cannabis support companies.
One of the companies looking to turn cannabis’ credibility into financial resources is Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY). A prominent provider of medical marijuana, Tilray has used a well-developed research and design program to gain an edge in the fast-growing industry. It’s currently using public offerings in Canada and the United States to seek fresh funds from investors, but its ambitions aren’t limited to North America. The company has customers on five continents, thanks to the growing international acceptance of medical cannabis.
Through early moves in the sector, Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has established itself as one of the big names in Canadian cannabis. Working both alone and in partnership with others, Canopy Growth has evolved into a multifaceted company with a strong investment in brand and product differentiation.
Canopy Growth Corp. made news earlier this year when it received a second substantial round of investment from U.S. beverage company Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ). That $4 billion investment has made Constellation Brands a substantial shareholder in Canopy Growth, owning a third of the company. The investment was a major coup for the cannabis company, giving it the sort of resources that most of its competitors only dream of. But it may also prove to be an important moment for Constellation Brands, as it adds cannabis and cannabis-infused products to its repertoire of alcoholic drinks.
As tobacco and alcohol companies look for ways to deal with their own falling sales, it’s likely that a growing number will turn to cannabis, providing fresh investment for the market. When they do, there will be plenty of strong options. The growth of medical and recreational markets has led to impressive revenue growth for companies. For example, Cronos Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) saw revenues increase by 186 percent in the third quarter of 2018. By partnering with other businesses, increasing its cultivation space, and getting involved in the Latin American cannabis market, the company has been able to keep expanding its operations.
Big money is flowing into the cannabis industry. As its prestige rises, those funds are set to keep growing for a long while yet.

Generation Alpha Launches into the Legal U.S. Medical Cannabis Industry with the Purchase of an Arizona Property to be Used as a Cultivation and Processing Facility


GlobeNewswireApril 8, 2019


CARSON, CA, April 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL) (“Generation Alpha” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated cannabis technology innovator, manufacturer and distributor, announces the closing of a significant transaction for the Company with the purchase of an approximately 46,000 sq. ft. facility in Phoenix, Arizona. This facility comes with an already- approved Special Use Permit (SUP) for the cultivation and processing of medical cannabis in the State of Arizona and is ideally located less than 10 miles from Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport.
In 2018, Generation Alpha acquired an Arizona-based company to provide turn-key services for the management, administration, and operation of a medical marijuana cultivation and processing facility, on behalf of an entity duly authorized and licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services. After terminating, earlier this year, the commercial lease for another property in Arizona, which the Company intended to serve as its cultivation and extraction facility, the Company decided to purchase this facility for $3.5 million, which will allow for future improvements to flow directly through to the Company’s balance sheet.
Alan Lien, Generation Alpha’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “This is an incredible deal for Generation Alpha. This facility, which has been locally permitted for medical cannabis cultivation and processing, will allow us to fast track operations in Arizona – an area we believe is one of the key growth markets in the U.S. medical cannabis sector. We remain steadfastly committed to our Solis Tek lighting division, but this purchase will make Arizona the first of hopefully many medical cannabis divisions for us in the U.S.”

still big on this one? Down to .15 cents.

Naked shorting has killed this stock . The shares could never gain traction, and when these smaller companies need new capital, sometimes they make stupid decisions to get it . GNAL is perfect example of this , and the risk in investing in pink sheet stocks . Yes I believe things will turnaround for them as the market digest the shares coming due from old financing, and will dry up eventually. Looking for the stock to break the seemingly never ending downtrend first before I add . At this point around .25 cents would cause me to revisit and possibly get aggressive again . Not looking for bargains, willing to buy strength

Same with Weyland Tech?

Exactly correct , The pink sheet OTC market has changed a lot in the last few years. Its run by the mafia, and the illegal naked shorting is relentless . When the mob starts calling to asking the company for money ,most will give in, take the money, and do what they need top do to survive . They cover their short, make their score, and the company ends up diluting their equity doing a deal with the devil

All except for PRED, who has continuously told the shorts to go fuck themselves
