The cannabis industry continues to face headwinds along with the broader economy but there are silver linings as it relates to the resilience and innovation of businesses to make the best of a bad situation.
Regardless of how long it takes to come through the health crisis, it is destined to alter the way we do business and accelerate some trends that were already bubbling, especially when it comes to trust.
One of the most common consumer criticisms about cannabis products is that they do not receive a consistent experience when purchasing and consuming the same product at different times.
With more than 18 in cannabis retail, and approaching 40 stores to date at the time of this writing, Canna-Cabana has blossomed into one of the most recognizable recreational cannabis franchises nationwide.

The New Normal
C
OVID-19 has drastically impacted the world of work globally, some more than others depending on what industry you work in. Those hardest hit include the travel industry; workers in hospitality; various entertainment sectors, including sports, concerts, and movie theatres; as well as most retail stores and restaurants. Those who have benefited include manufacturers of PPE equipment and disinfectants, telecommunication companies, entertainment companies like Netflix and Steam, large online retailers such as Amazon, grocery chains and pharmacies, and essentially any business deemed “essential” by their respective provinces. It’s hard to pinpoint where the cannabis industry falls on this spectrum. Make no mistake though, as a result of social distancing, disruption to all levels of the supply chain and an overall halt to the economy as a whole, companies across the country have had to adapt to this new normal. With respect to retail, all provinces (with the exception of Newfoundland) have deemed cannabis retailers an “essential service” with only Ontario opting for delivery, click-and-collect and online sales. This makes sense of course. For one, cannabis is a medicinal product. Even on the recreational front, many people consume cannabis to alleviate social anxiety, depression, insomnia and other mental health issues. (It should also be noted that for provinces to deem publically-run liquor stores “essential” only to close cannabis stores would be seen as hypocritical by many constituants). While cannabis retailers have had to change their operations accordingly, it is licenced producers that have borne the brunt of the impact. Many have had to enact stricter protocols with respect to the growing and handling of their product. The bigger impact however is the threat of insolvency to licenced producers big and small. Many large-scale cannabis operations, whether it relates to cultivation, extraction or the manufacturing of deritative products, rely on a constant influx of funds from credit unions, money managers and angel/institutional investors to keep running.

While banks have always remained at arm’s length with cannabis, it is hard to believe that all cannabis operations will come out unscathed. It also doesn’t help that all government regulations with respect to licensing remain under the auspices of Health Canada, which will likely lead to delays across the board. While it’s normal to feel cautiously optimistic as we navigate these troubled waters, cannabis is also an industry of resiliency, and like most industries will come out stronger than when we first entered. Granted, it may look different but overall we will be better for it.

Buddi Launches Free Cannabis Click & Collect Payments and Delivery in Ontario
Buddi, a Canadian company based in Vancouver, BC, and the Canadian leader in cannabis menu services, announced the release of cannabis click & collect payments and cannabis delivery services in Ontario. The services will be made available Canada-wide as permitted by provincial regulatory bodies. Buddi has partnered with payment processing companies Merrco and Moneris, who service a large majority of the Canadian cannabis industry, to allow retailers who are using either payment gateway to utilize Buddi Click & Collect payments. Buddi also partnered with cannabis logistics firm Cannalogic to enable retailers to offer and manage their delivery services.
Navaya Receives Health Canada Licence for the Cultivation of Cannabis Navaya, a Quebec-based company incorporated in 2019, has secured its Health Canada cultivation licence. “We’re set to start production shortly, and with customer commitments, we expect sales revenues to begin this year,” said Mark Stermer, Chief Executive Officer of Navaya. “Our investments and partnerships have resulted in this most recent regulatory milestone and will aid us to start strong out of the gate. We are committed to breeding cannabis strains that maximize production and quality using industry leading technology that will result in high yields at low cost.” Located in Boisbriand, Quebec, Navaya expects to begin its first cultivation of cannabis in May 2020. Before distribution, Navaya will complete two full harvests. With Health Canada’s final approval of each yield, Navaya is expecting to receive its sales licence and deliver product to the market early Q4 2020. Navaya expects the production facility to be at full capacity by early 2022 and will be able to produce 100,000 kg annually. EuroLife Brands Announces an Agreement to Acquire a European Retail Chain with $3M+ in Revenue EuroLife Brands, a vertically integrated enterprise focused on the pan-European health and wellness sector, announced it has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of CWE European Holdings Inc., a Canadian Corporation, which owns and operates HANF Hemp Stores in Germany and Luxembourg. HANF is operating a seed-to-sale hemp CBD business in German-speaking countries in Europe, and will become a fully owned subsidiary by way of share exchange in consideration for the issuance of 100,000,000 common shares of EuroLife at a deemed

price of $0.05 per Share to the shareholders of CWE for a deemed value of $5 million. Upon completion of the transaction, CWE will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Waterloo Brewing Suspends Development Plans for Cannabis-Infused Beverages Waterloo Brewing Ltd., Ontario’s largest Canadian-owned brewery, suspended its development plans for the production of cannabis-infused beverages. In the period leading up to the legalization of cannabis-infused beverages, Waterloo Brewing dedicated resources to secure the necessary licensing and prepared its facilities to produce cannabis-infused beverages. Since that time, the route to market for cannabisinfused beverages and the associated market opportunity has become less clear and highly uncertain. Given the very strong and proven performance of its current growth drivers, the Company is, for the time being, suspending any activity related to the production of cannabisinfused beverages. 48North Cannabis Corp. Ships Company’s Accessible Dried Flower Brand Fleur du Jour to the SQDC 48North Cannabis Corp. has shipped the first order of its accessible dried flower brand, Fleur du Jour, to the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) for retail sale. “As we continue to listen to consumer feedback, we know that price point is a critical driver of purchasing decisions and are confident this will match demand for more affordable products. With that in mind, the launch of Fleur du Jour is a critical step in our renewed commitment to improving operations, investing in product development, and supporting high-quality experiences for Canadian consumers,” said Charles Vennat, CEO of 48North.
Cannabis Prospect Magazine | June 2020
Fleur du Jour will retail at the SQDC both online and in retail stores. The Company expects that this will be one of the most accessible products available to cannabis customers in Quebec, without jeopardizing quality. RCU (Responsible Cannabis Use) Launches canniknow.com RCU (Responsible Cannabis Use) launched Cann I Know (www.canniknow.com), a cannabis education portal that rewards cannabis knowledge. This is an evolution of RCU’s 2019 website, DontBeSorry.ca, which engaged over 58,000 Canadians with educational content in just a few months. While many support cannabis, most don’t know the laws or their rights in their own city, state, province, or county. Cann I Know brings all factual information together so medical patients and recreational consumers can learn regional laws and support the legal industry in their communities. The first educational campaign by Cann I Know will inform visitors about safe access to cannabis in their region during COVID-19. This will also help educate millions of Canadians who are currently buying from the illegal market, and putting themselves and others at risk. Cann I Know will offer information about safe access for each region starting with the Canadian provinces and territories and legalized regions across the United States. This is critical as governments are changing their laws to accommodate safer access during the pandemic. For instance, Ontario is now offering click-and-collect, curbside pickup, and delivery options. None of these methods were available prior to COVID-19. Nextleaf Solutions Granted German Patent for CBD Oil Extraction Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. has been issued patents in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom
Hifyre Achieves Milestone of 100,000 Members in the Spark Perks Program Fire & Flower Holdings Corp., and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Hifyre™ Inc., announced that the Spark Perks™ member program has achieved the milestone of 100,000 enrolled members across the Fire & Flower retail network. Spark Perks offers its members access to services including Spark Fastlane™ “click-and-collect”, curbside pickup and the Rapid Delivery™ home delivery service in jurisdictions where these programs are permitted. In addition, member benefits include exclusive discounts, member-only content and access to invite-only events. The Hifyre Digital Retail and Analytics Platform is a proprietary ecosystem of products that include the Spark Perks member program, Hifyre ONE retail software platform and the Hifyre IQ cannabis data and analytics platform. The Hifyre platform also supports Fire & Flower’s advanced operations and provides a competitive advantage in providing a tailored digital experience and understanding consumer behaviours in the evolving cannabis market.

pertaining to the Company’s proprietary technology for post-extraction processing of cannabinoids. These patents extend the Company’s existing patent portfolio to include methodologies relating to the removal of fats and waxes from crude cannabis oil extracts in far less time, achieving more efficient throughput rates, and refined distillate. Unrefined botanical extracts contain chlorophyll, fats, and other impurities that result in undesirable flavours and aromas when consumed. Nextleaf can apply this advantage to a variety of primary extraction methods, such as supercritical CO2 or ethanol. Over the past year, the Company has advanced its intellectual property (“IP“) stack, being granted 24 issued patents, with over 60 additional pending patents, pertaining to the extraction, purification, and formulation of cannabinoids. The Company believes it has developed defendable intellectual property around the most efficient methods for producing distilled THC and CBD oils at scale within a regulated environment. Canopy Rivers Targets Cannabis Gummies Market With Investment in Dynaleo Canopy Rivers Inc. announced a C$2 million investment in Dynaleo Inc., an Edmontonbased company focused on white-label manufacturing edible cannabis gummies for the Canadian market. Through this investment in what the Company anticipates may become a leading industrial scale Canadian gummies manufacturer, Canopy Rivers believes it is capitalizing on a significant opportunity in what is currently an underserved and underdeveloped segment of the cannabis market. Once Dynaleo receives the required licensing from Health Canada, it expects to begin operating its 27,000-sq.-ft. purpose-built facility with the goal of producing enough gummies to take a sizable bite out of the projected edibles market. Canopy Rivers’ investment is part of a
larger C$7 million round. Canopy Rivers’ investment in Dynaleo is structured as a C$2 million unsecured convertible debenture (the “Debenture“) with additional warrant coverage (the “Warrants“). The Debenture is convertible at the Company’s option into common shares of Dynaleo. Upon conversion of the Debenture and exercise of the Warrants, and assuming no further changes in Dynaleo’s capitalization table, Canopy Rivers’ ownership interest will be 12.2%. Rubicon Organics Receives Medical Sales Licence and Approval for Outdoor Cultivation Rubicon Organics Inc. announced that it has received its medical sales licence, allowing direct to patient sales, as well as approval from Health Canada for certain site amendments. These amendments address the expansion of its licensed area to include an 11-acre outdoor grow site on its 20-acre property located in Delta, BC, Canada (the “Delta Facility”). Rubicon Organics intends to commence outdoor cultivation in 2020. “I am excited to have a new dimension to our organic certified, licensed Delta Facility and to be able to grow our extensive genetic library outdoors. Our expanded production capacity with our newly licensed outdoor grow is the next milestone that will allow Rubicon Organics to offer a broader portfolio of cannabis products,” said Jesse McConnell, CEO of Rubicon Organics. In addition to the outdoor grow area and medical sales licensing, Health Canada has also approved a 5,000-sq.ft. expansion to our processing area at the Delta Facility. Aphria Strengthens Balance Sheet with Negotiated Debt Reduction Aphria Inc., a global cannabis company, has entered into privately negotiated agreements with a limited number of holders outside
of Canada of its convertible senior notes (“Notes“) to repurchase an aggregate of approximately $127.5 million ($90.8 million USD) principal amount of Notes for approximately 18.7 million of common shares and approximately $2.9 million ($2.1 million USD) in cash for accrued and unpaid interest. Effectively, the Company agreed to repurchase a portion of its Notes at a 25% discount to their face value, using shares issued at a 31% premium to Aphria’s most recent closing market price (which is equivalent to a conversion price of $4.84 USD per share). The purpose of the transaction was to reduce the Company’s debt and eliminate $6.7 million ($4.8 million USD) in annual cash interest costs. This transaction strengthens the Company’s balance sheet by increasing its net cash position from $36.3 million CAD at its February 29, 2020, quarter-end to $163.8 million, on a proforma basis as at that date. 48North Cannabis Corp. Provides Corporate Update 48North Cannabis Corp. has appointed Charles Vennat to the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, 48North announced the departure of Alison Gordon from the Company’s Board. “It is my pleasure to welcome Charles, currently serving as CEO, to the Board. Since joining the Company Charles has effectively made operational improvements, accelerated the company’s commercialization activities, and successfully launched 48North’s nextgeneration cannabis products,” continued Martin.

AS THE NOISE FADES, OPPORTUNITY ARISES Nawan Butt is a Portfolio Manager at Purpose Investments where he and his team manage the Purpose Marijuana Opportunities Fund, an Exchange Traded Fund made up of several publicallytraded cannabis companies and the first of its kind in Canada. The following article examines current trends in the Canadian cannabis market and abroad.
A
s the world resets growth expectations, the secular growth story of cannabis remains in the background, largely untold. Over the past couple of years, investors have been working diligently through a price-discovery phase for the newly legalized and regulated sector. This has meant testing the limits of success and overcoming multiple hurdles that come with the development of a new sector. Excessive valuations and rapid drawdowns have kept the sector associated with volatility and speculation. After steep drawdowns in March, the market staged a strong recovery in April with cannabis companies on the upswing. The cannabis industry continues to face headwinds along with the broader economy but there are silver linings of regulation and green shoots of innovation that aim to make the best of a bad situation. As regulators on either side of the 49th show support of the industry, operators have found this as the right time to strengthen and innovate their business models. The silver lining of this pandemic has been the importance placed upon the availability of medical cannabis to patients. Throughout Canada and in at least 28 US states, medical cannabis has been deemed an essential service, showing solid support from regulators for the definitive future of the medical cannabis industry. This validation has defined what we believe to be the valuation floor for medical cannabis. The support of regulatory bodies in providing access to patients is the affirmation investors have been awaiting to finally start believing the secular story again. Canadian Licenced Producers (LPs) have gone through a major shake-up in recent months and a much-expected wave of bankruptcies and consolidation is now taking place. We find positive signs in this as winners separate from losers, consolidate market share and create efficiency with scale and distribution. Recently, LPs have used COVID-19 as an excuse to downsize production and implement ‘temporary’ layoffs; however, we view this as a ‘right-sizing’ for the industry and ultimately a net positive as production moves down towards actual industry demand. Furthermore, as the industry faces hurdles with the slowdown of additional retail locations opening in key locations, there are multiple innovations that have been expedited through this period. We have seen the implementation of click-and-collect and delivery as distribution models evolve in Ontario. These distribution models should be key to displace former black market strongholds and ultimately have a positive effect on legal cannabis penetration rates in Canada. Investors now recognize this improving environment and this is evident 10

THE PURPOSE MARIJUANA OPPORTUNITIES FUND The Purpose Marijuana Opportunities Fund (Ticker: MJJ) was launched on January 31, 2018, and was Canada’s first actively managed cannabis ETF. Designed to provide exposure to high-growth potential marijuana stocks, the fund invests across all subsectors within the global cannabis industry, including cultivation, extraction, retail and financing. Through an active selection process, the team focuses on countries with positive regulatory environments and companies with attractive growth and valuation metrics (>50% focus on United States currently). The fund exercises a disciplined risk management approach with the ability to use cash tactically and defensively. It is available as an ETF or mutual fund.
in a recent wave of financings for LPs on the fringes, reviving a vital sign of industry health that has been comatose for months. Even in adversity, we continue to see the strength of Canadian LPs. US operators, on the other hand, continue to improve on their strong growth in medical cannabis and better focus their growth blueprints. Patient count continues to increase in Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, all key states where medical cannabis is available, whereas we are seeing robust dislocation of the black market for adult-use in the newly legal states of Illinois and Massachusetts. The US industry is far from hitting a supply excess problem like its Canadian counterpart, a blessing in disguise due to limited growth financing available through much of last year. This has meant that operators are confined to grow within reason and not throw exuberant valuations around. We find the US opportunity to be more attractive and are still supportive of multistate operators with strong balance sheets and focused plans for growth. In the short term, macro headwinds will define the future of cannabis operators. There is no doubt that the growth sector will continue to trade with a high beta as financial markets find their feet. We anticipate a lot of bankruptcy noise to take over headlines and the media will likely continue to call the ‘fall from grace’ of cannabis. Adult-use cannabis in Canada should consolidate over the coming months, taking out the noise and leaving only the best operators to play. It’s essential to maintain context and distinguish between the Canadian adult-use cannabis market versus the US (mostly) medical cannabis market. The Canadian adultuse market has seen valuations fall precipitously as too much capital was applied too fast and this has meant excess capacity, exuberant compensation packages, and led to lack of long-term foresight. Although the sector has traded as a whole, the US medical cannabis market continues to have much more stable patient growth and consistent progress in pharmaceutical formulation. The cannabis sector faces an uphill battle much like the rest of the economy but has also kept up with innovation, which is required to adapt to this ‘new normal’. Operators have partaken in the recent uptick in markets and we expect will continue to do so as underlying fundamentals become healthier. It’s very important to distinguish news from noise and use a focused approach to invest in high-quality names with strong balance sheets rather than being long the sector as a whole. As the noise fades, opportunity emerges. Nawan Butt, CFA, MSc is a Portfolio Manager at Purpose Investments June 2020 | Cannabis Prospect Magazine

TRUST:
Your Employees and Future Depend on it
By James Smith, Partner, Executive Search, LHH Knightsbridge
W
e are all living with the stress of hourly updates on coronavirus and the new adjustment to working from home. Regardless of how long it takes to come through the health crisis, it is destined to alter the way we do business and accelerate some trends that were already bubbling, especially when it comes to trust. In the consumer products space, the results have been mixed. Most companies are struggling, but some especially in consumer packaged goods can’t keep up with the demand. As people stock up on groceries and cleaning products, it’s not surprising to see sales soar in bottled water, coffee, frozen meals, cereal, baby food and just about every product category. One CEO mentioned that it had broken every record for ice-cream sales in March. After my gym closed, I can personally confess that I had quite the binge on Netflix, On-Demand and Haagen-Dazs - you’re welcome Nestle! As people look to assuage their fears, sales of beer and cannabis are also soaring. A CEO from an alcoholic beverage company said it was “just like Christmas”. Even companies manufacturing over-the-counter cough and cold products are having a hard time keeping up with the demand from consumer stockpiling. As business continues to change, you must also consider the behavioral implications. The work from home adjustments have gone smoothly for many companies and, on the positive side, these changes have led to more time with children, board games, movie nights and family dinners. It’s almost a throwback to my grandparents’ generation. At the same time, we’ve seen self-centered behaviour called out like never before. Spring Break in Florida while others were in self-isolation, hand sanitizer reselling and the shortage of face masks from stockpiling for health-
care workers who are on the frontlines fighting the virus, just to name a few. We are looking for humanity to come together to do the right thing for society as a whole. This same messaging and attitude were reinforced at a Personal Care and Cosmetics Conference I attended back in February, where Richard Edelman shared the results from the newly-released 2020 Edelman Trust Barometer. The greatest takeaway from his presentation is that businesses and CEOs need to evolve to match the ethical standards that employees and consumers want to see from the products they purchase. When it comes to trust, we are nearly twice as likely to believe a CEO from a company over a government leader, 80% versus 42% respectively. When it comes to leading change, 74% of people would rather have a CEO take charge rather than wait for the government to impose it. The truth is that employees really want to know the values of CEOs and understand their perspective on diversity and inclusion, employee training and development, ethics in technology, the environment, climate change and much more. So what does all this mean for companies and CEOs after we get through this crisis? The Edelman Trust Barometer 2020 report highlights two very important statistics. First, regardless of your age, income or geographic location, 81% of people need to trust that brands (companies) will do what is right. Second, only 34% or one-third trust the brands that they currently buy. This gap between what we demand and what we currently accept provides a huge opportunity for CEOs and brands moving forward. CEOs are still managing the crisis and will likely be involved trying to meet the necessary adjustments in the weeks and months ahead. The crisis has forced them to look at supply chain, HR, IT and
consider a meaningful direct-to-consumer model and strategy. I’ve heard about many bold moves across all departments to ensure continued operations while, at the same time, doing everything possible to support the safety and health of their employees. However, my sense is that everyone will be much more vocal about how CEOs handle the crisis and premature layoffs will be called out for the first time in history. As businesses reset, therefore, there needs to be a shift from a shareholder perspective to more of a stakeholder point of view that supports employees in a more collaborative manner. The new model will focus on People, the Planet and Profits, in that order. The days ahead are really an important time for CEOs. Authenticity, transparency and honesty were always important, but moving forward they will be amplified with a focus on traditional values like the Golden Rule. Executives will want to associate with companies and CEOs who align with their values. The status quo from new hires will also need to be reevaluated. Employers will want more nimble, experienced, creative and entrepreneurial leaders who can handle ambiguity and move fast. Trust is all about consistency in words and especially actions. My father was an executive who ingrained in me the quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Your actions speak so loud, I cannot hear what you are saying.” This needs to become the new mantra for CEOs. Leadership boils down to trust and it is the most important commodity you can sell right now. We are all in this together and there’s a huge opportunity for CEOs to get it right!

Taking Cannabis Cashless: Addressing Transaction Processing in Retail Marijuana By Thomas E. Gavin IV, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CannaTrac
T
he medical and recreational cannabis industry, due to its illegal federal status in the US, has long been relegated to a cash-only industry. It’s a story that’s been told time and again, but little has been done to change it. While many hear this and think of cash purchases being made in cannabis retailers, the truth is that this cashonly limitation sometimes goes far beyond retail interactions and bleeds into all aspects of the cannabis business. Because many cannabis businesses can’t use merchant banking and purchase processing services, they must use cash or another alternative for nearly all business interactions. Paying taxes, bills, payroll and more with cash is, at best, an inconvenience, and at worst, a danger. The news is often the same with CBD or hemp companies. Despite hemp being federally legal in the US, it is often lumped together with its psychoactive cousin, marijuana. With merchant processing and banking posing a constant problem, Canadian and US cannabis businesses of all types have been searching for an acceptable alternative for some time. Thankfully, cashless alternatives, like the CannaCard, have been developed to allow cannabis retailers to take payments with confidence, knowing they won’t be shut off or end the day with piles of cash on hand.
What Financial Service Challenges Do Cannabis Retailers Face? It isn’t just the illegal status of cannabis that makes it difficult
for businesses to find banks and merchant processors. The industry’s high burden of regulation and compliance dissuades some banks from offering services, while credit and debit processors avoid the industry over fear of federal money laundering violations and similar concerns. Despite efforts by some US lawmakers to ease restrictions on cannabis banking through bills like the Safe and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, traditional merchant services are largely off limits for the cannabis industry for a myriad of reasons. It is difficult for cannabis companies to use traditional merchant processing methods due to the need for the Federal Rail to be used in order to securely process those traditional transactions. The open-loop (or Federal Rail) is how money moves in and out of transactions within the credit and debit card world. When customers make a purchase using their credit card, the money for their transaction moves openly on the federally-controlled network, allowing for instate and interstate commerce to take place between banks, credit processors, and retailers when a customer makes a purchase. The inability to use the Federal Rail obviously limits the number of options a merchant in the cannabis space has and may force businesses to make unwise decisions. What this means for cannabis businesses is that it is unlikely that they will be able to find easy access to traditional merchant processors and banking services. If they do manage to secure these services (at least with respect to the US), they are at risk of being shut off since they are legally June 2020 | Cannabis Prospect Magazine

not supposed to have a merchant processing account. If they aren’t careful, they can also open themselves up to unethical business practices. Some banks and merchant services that were working with the cannabis industry are now pulling out to protect themselves from potential backlash. This makes it all the more important to find a solution for getting around being completely shut off, which can stop your business in its tracks. What Solutions are There for Getting Around These Banking Hurdles? With all these challenges, it is clear that the cannabis industry is fighting an uphill battle in its hopes to transition to a more effective financial system. Using good judgment is key in getting around these challenges. Thankfully, there are strategies and services that companies can employ to help keep business operations running smoothly. Even if you have a bank that you’ve been working with, it’s always good to make sure you have more than one in case your primary bank does completely pull out. This is not cheap and your overall fees are higher, but you have to have a back-up. In fact, you should probably have more than one. It is important to have these fall-back plans because it happens all the time - be prepared. The same goes for your payment processor. It’s always good to have multiple merchant processors and similar services, or affiliates that have those relationships and can help in case your processor cancels your account. There are alternative solutions in financial services for the cannabis industry, but not all of these choices are equal. A popular direction that many cannabis companies have been turning to are cashless solutions that use a secure, closedloop system to collect cashless payments from customers.
“A lot of cannabis retailers have turned to keeping ATMs at their locations, continuing the cash business loop they are currently stuck in. Ultimately, moving to a cashless payment system is a smarter move for a handful of reasons.” Are Cashless Solutions Better than ATMs? A lot of cannabis retailers have turned to keeping ATMs at their locations, continuing the cash business loop they are currently stuck in. Ultimately, moving to a cashless payment system is a smarter move for a handful of reasons. First, ATMs are more expensive for the consumer. If the ATM or the customer’s bank charges a fee, it adds to their overall cost to shop at your store. This could drive them to shop another store that offers a cheaper alternative. If you own the ATM, your business must spend labour hours in order to keep it maintained and running.

cost to them. Because customers don’t need exact cash to make their purchases, data reveals that they spend up to 20% more with cashless payments. This may be since they aren’t limited to their cash on hand, so if they see an impulse buy that draws their attention they don’t need to worry about having the cash to cover it. How Does Merchant Processing for the Cannabis Industry Differ from Traditional Processing Services? The direct effect of cannabis retaining and its federally illegal status in the US is that cannabis retailers aren’t able to use the Federal Rail to process transactions involving cannabis sales. Since cannabis companies are limited from using open-loop transactions, they can’t accept traditional credit cards as payment. For that reason, merchant processing in the cannabis industry usually uses closed-loop systems or forms of digital currency to stay off the Federal Rail. In a closed-loop system, transactions never leave the confines of a private rail built to house any type of payment you want. This type of system is used for transactions using gift cards with a store logo or even merchant exclusive credit cards. Being on a closed-loop does not affect consumer or retailer safety but can be limiting to one specific store or chain. For an example of this, think of the Starbucks card and smartphone app. In this system, customers load money onto their Starbucks card. They can then use the card or the phone app to pay at the register. Of course, not every network is the same, and you will want to do some research before choosing a system with which to work. When looking for alternatives to traditional banking and merchant services, doing your due diligence will help protect you from falling victim to a scam or just settling for a sub-par option. If possible, test the products or software you are considering to see how the user experience will be for you and your customers. You’ll also want to find a cashless alternative that will keep you compliant when processing transactions. Look for options that are HIPAA and PCI compliant in order to provide protection for your business. How Do Shifting Attitudes Toward Cannabis Affect Cannabis Businesses? Consumers, in general, are growing more comfortable with the idea of purchasing cannabis, and the stigma of buying cannabis is gradually disappearing. The COVID-19 pandemic has actually made that more prevalent in Canada and the US as cannabis retailers are classified as an essential business. The overall view of cannabis is becoming much more geared toward medicinal use, as opposed to simply something used to get you high. This potential change could open up the ability of the cannabis industry to bank freely. It would allow merchant processors to run open rails, which could increase business dramatically by giving people more abilities and options to purchase things.Until then, closed-loop systems like those offered by CannaTrac allow cannabis businesses to go cashless with a seamless electronic payment system.

VAPE HARDWARE IS NO LONGER
ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL By Dave Kaplan, Greentank Technologies
Greentank Technologies is Canada’s leading white-label cannabis vape hardware solutions provider. Its proficiency and extensive experience in the space enables its partners to perfectly match their extracts to its hardware to produce the most robust and flavourful vapour on the market.
H
oping that your extract will pair seamlessly with cookie-cutter vape hardware is an exercise in futility. Like fingerprints or snowflakes, no two extracts are exactly the same. They have different viscosities, distinct flavour profiles and unique terpene/cannabinoid compositions. To get the most out of your extract, you can’t just select out-of-the-box vape hardware that has a good reputation. You need to find the hardware that best suits your formulation. Although this concept seems like a no-brainer, the nascency of the cannabis vape sector precluded it from being a realistic possibility until only quite recently. After all, it was less than a decade ago that portable cannabis vape hardware first entered the market in the form of plastic cartridges and wicks. Although these devices were revolutionary at the time, their heating cores and saturation systems were predicated on e-cigarette technology and could not adequately handle the thicker viscosities of cannabis oil. The result was devices that regularly leaked, clogged and produced inconsistent, unflavourful and often burnt vapour. In short order, glass cartridges were introduced to the market and quickly became the industry standard. Coil technology also underwent a rapid transformation, with quartz wicks overtaking plastic wicks for a brief period of time before ultimately making way to ceramic heating cores.
20
Cannabis Prospect Magazine | June 2020
The evolution of portable cannabis vape technology is far from complete; the sky is truly the limit for this pursuit and it will be fascinating to see how hardware continues to evolve over the next 1020 years. In 2020, the industry’s focus has shifted from reinventing the engine and the frame to ensuring the hardware under the hood functions no matter the fuel. To cater to the myriad extract properties and viscosities currently on the market, hardware-solutions providers are now offering more standard options at the spec level than ever before.
Aperture Size Options
Accurately pairing extracts with suitable vape hardware starts with selecting the correct aperture size. Also known as intake or inlet holes, these openings in the centrepost act as gateways, limiting the rate at which the extract flows into the chamber and saturates the heating core. If the apertures in your hardware are too large, your extract could oversaturate the heating core, seep into the centrepost and potentially leak out of the mouthpiece. If the apertures in your hardware are too small, your extract could struggle to permeate the chamber, producing little to no vapour at all. Neither are ideal.
Accessories/
To counter these issues and cater to a wider range of extract viscosities, manufacturers are now offering multiple aperture size options for the same product SKUs. Greentank, for instance, offers five aperture size options for its flagship Spectrum CR cartridge: 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm and 2.0 mm. Manufacturing capabilities have even advanced to the point that some hardware providers are now offering brands the opportunity to request precise aperture hole sizes to the millimetre that fit the specific viscosities of their extracts like gloves.
Unique Proprietary Ceramic Cores
As we mentioned earlier, ceramic cores have become the industry standard for several reasons: they are oxidation and heat-resistant, saturate quicker and retain heat more efficiently than traditional wick systems, prevent burning and provide the most consistent and flavourful vapour of any heating element type on the market. But not all ceramic cores are the same, or equal. Proprietary ceramic cores can differ significantly from one manufacturer to another in terms of ceramic qualities, porosities, heat-resistances and airflow designs. These differences may seem minimal on the surface but in reality they determine how efficiently your device heats and saturates your extract, how consistent the vapour production is, how functionally it operates in more extreme climates and conditions, and how resistant it is to leaching and deterioration. Simply put, choosing the correct ceramic core for your extract is crucial to your product’s success.
“Strict additional industry regulations can be difficult for smaller hardware manufacturers to overcome, but they create the types of evolutionary bottlenecks that challenge businesses to innovate. We see them as opportunities to demonstrate our commitment to quality and innovation,” says Pete Duckett, Chief Engineer at Greentank. Battery Features
Batteries are the beating hearts of vaporizers as they supply the charges needed to transform extracts into flavourful vapour. Selecting the battery that will best optimize the idiosyncrasies of your extract is critical, but it’s no easy task due to the sheer number of different battery options currently in the market. Manufacturers are offering more battery options and voltage outputs than ever before to both optimize the extracts housed in their hardware and provide end-users with vaping experiences that would have been inconceivable just a few years ago. Brands can now choose
batteries that offer pre-heating options, variable heat settings, push-button or breath-actuated activation, recharging capabilities, and a variety of cycle capacities to best fit the needs of their extracts and consumer bases. They also have the ability to select the form factors and tube materials that best gel with their brands’ aesthetics and personalities.
Customization Capabilities
Selecting hardware that elevates your extract is paramount, but the importance of ensuring that your hardware solutions provider has the customization capabilities your brand requires cannot be understated. Device customization and branding (e.g. unique mouthpiece options, surface finishes, secondary treatments) are crucial components of making your product stand out on retail shelves. Unfortunately, not all vape hardware-solutions providers possess the same customization capabilities. Some offer only a few basic mouthpieces and surface customizations for each SKU; others, like Greentank, provide their partners with dozens of compatible mouthpiece options and comprehensive catalogues of finishes and treatments that include more refined application techniques, such as anodization, pearlescent coating, ultra-high gloss painting, laser etching and immersion printing.
Product Safety, Testing and Compliance
Product safety and regulatory compliance have rapidly moved to the forefront of the cannabis vape space in the aftermath of last year’s black market vape cartridge crisis. Consumers, understandably, want to know every detail about what they’re inhaling, from complete lists of materials and ingredients to all applicable testing results. For vape hardware providers, total transparency means supplying partners with material safety data sheets, heavy metal and child-resistance testing results, product and factory safety certifications, and a detailed accounting of manufacturing safety and quality-control protocols. It also means being able to supply any requested materials that confirm the compliances of certain aspects of their hardware with specific jurisdictional regulations. In a perfect world, every hardware provider would be able to supply all of the safety materials listed above, but that hasn’t proven to be the case in reality just yet. Some hardware providers do not prioritize transparency and user safety above all else, and you simply cannot afford to tie the success of your extract to businesses that do not offer this entire suite of documentation.

On October 17, 2019, the amended Cannabis Regulations came into force permitting the legal production and sale of edible cannabis, cannabis extracts, and cannabis topicals in accordance with the requirements set forth under the Cannabis Act (CA) and its regulations. From this day forward, licenced processors would be able to manufacture new classes of cannabis products that could be purchased by consumers through various legal outlets depending on where they reside in Canada.
Edibles Things to Consider from a Food Safety Perspective
By Michael Ciardullo, Regulatory Affairs & Quality Manager - Cannabis Licensing Lead, dicentra Cannabis Consulting
In addition to the new classes of cannabis products that could be legally produced and sold under the amended regulations, there came new regulatory and quality requirements that holders of a processing licence must adhere to. Depending on the new class(es) of product(s) they intend to manufacture, licence holders, are also required to demonstrate compliance with respect to regulatory requirements specific to those classes in particular. Using edibles as an example, licence holders would need to ensure that edible cannabis products do not contain any ingredients other than food and food additives (s. 102(1), Cannabis Regulations (CR)). This article will focus specifically on the new requirements applicable to licence applicants and holders who wish to produce edible cannabis products. Before going into detail regarding these new requirements, it is important to note that although edible cannabis products can be ingested by a consumer and contain ingredients that are food and food additives, the Food and Drugs Act and its regulations do not apply to edible cannabis. There are specific situations where cannabis and activities with cannabis are subject to the Food and Drugs Act in addition to the Cannabis Act, and that is when the cannabis is represented with a therapeutic claim. It is also important to note that the Safe Food for Canadians Act (SFCA) and its regulations also do not apply to edibles cannabis. However, certain elements of the new requirements pertaining to edible cannabis in the Cannabis Regulations were adapted from this framework. As mentioned above, in regard to the production of edible cannabis, there are a number of new requirements that licence applicants and holders must comply with should they wish to produce edible cannabis products. Information regarding some, not all, of the new requirements, has been provided below. Please note that some requirements mentioned below are also applicable to other classes of cannabis products however for the purposes of this article we will be focusing specifically on edible cannabis.
Requirements for the Production of Edible Cannabis Staffing: If you are looking to produce cannabis edibles, having the right personnel on staff is an important consideration that needs to be made. A licence holder must ensure that any individual who conducts activities in relation to edibles cannabis 22
Cannabis Prospect Magazine | June 2020
or anything used as an ingredient in the production of edibles cannabis is qualified to do so (s. 88.1, CR). Making sure your staff holds the appropriate competencies and qualifications in relation to these activities as well as a working knowledge of the application requirements and regulations is extremely important. Facility Systems: Another important consideration to be made if you’re looking to produce cannabis edibles is the systems that have been implemented at your facility in terms of temperature, humidity, heating and cooling and how these variables are controlled (s. 88.2, CR). Licence holders must also ensure that the temperature and humidity where cannabis or anything being used as an ingredient is produced, packaged, labelled, stored or tested are maintained at levels that are suitable for the activity that is being conducted. These precautions must be taken to ensure that bacterial growth and contamination as a result of the improper storage of cannabis and the ingredients being used are prevented. Incompatible Activities: It is also important to know that if you already have a commercial production facility that is producing conventional foods (cookies, for example), you are not permitted to produce cannabis edibles in the same facility. Licence holders must not produce, package, label or store cannabis at a site if the food that is to be sold is also produced at that site (s. 88.92, CR). What this means is that the co-location of cannabis production and conventional food production cannot take place. This isn’t to say production of the two couldn’t happen on the same site but that the two activities would have to be conducted in different buildings on the site. For applicants, this is an important consideration that needs to be made in order to ensure that resources are allocated effectively should they already have a facility that is producing conventional foods. Identification and Analysis of Hazards: A new requirement that must now be met is the implementation of a plan that identifies and analyzes the biological, chemical and physical hazards that present a risk of contamination to the cannabis or anything being used as an ingredient in the production of cannabis edibles (s. 88.93, CR). Health Canada requires that for each edible
cannabis, the biological, chemical and physical hazards that may be reasonably expected to contaminate the edible through inputs (e.g. ingredients and packaging materials), processing steps and traffic flows are identified by the licence holder. In addition, Health Canada requires that the appropriate steps are taken by the holder to prevent, eliminate or reduce to an acceptable level these hazards by utilizing control measures that, through supporting evidence, can effectively do so. Preventative Control Plan (PCP): In addition to the identification and analysis of hazards in your production facility, another new requirement if you intend to produce edible cannabis is the implementation of a preventative control plan (PCP). Licence holders who conduct activities with edible cannabis must identify microbial, chemical and physical hazards within their production facility. Additionally, they must prepare, retain, maintain and implement a written PCP for any activity they conduct with respect to cannabis or anything being used as an ingredient in the production of edible cannabis (s. 88.84, CR). This PCP must be able to demonstrate how hazards related to the production of cannabis and cannabis products are controlled, including the ingredients used in the production process and how all required regulatory requirements are met. Once again, not having an effective PCP plan implemented may have serious repercussions. One method for achieving an effective PCP plan is by using the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) method. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), “HACCP is recognized as the most respected food processing concept in the world for enhancing the production of safe food.” The approach taken by HACCP involves the review of each step in the manufacturing process, from beginning to end, to ensure that every possible hazard and/or source of contamination can be identified.

NEW
TRENDS IN THE VAPORIZER By David Halpert, Editor
T
his cannabis sector is coming off a difficult 2019. Last year saw the industry coping with the vaping illness crisis, which caused thousands of respiratory hospitalizations and 68 deaths in the US. The problem has been traced back to illegal producers and, fortunately, concerns have dramatically dropped off in recent months. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ended its state of emergency general public advisory against vaping in January 2020. Vaporizer manufacturers have had time to regroup, and they’re ready to reinvigorate the market with new products that address the concerns of their customers. And concerns still linger. People who use vaporizers worry that counterfeit hardware and illegal products could harm their health, so they want to be sure they’ve got the real thing in their hands. Meanwhile, with reduced healthcare offerings due to the rise of COVID-19, plus the virus’s respiratory risks, medical cannabis clients have become increasingly committed to self-care and safety. They want to use vaporizers, but need reassurance. “This could be the defining year for cannabis vaporizer devices and innovation,” says Kaila Strong, director of marketing for Jupiter Research. The Phoenix-based vaporizer hardware company is one player set

to spend 2020 bent on innovation and staying on top of vape trends. This includes forming new partnerships that have allowed the company to fine-tune its product lines, and expand what it offers as well. New relationships with vaporizer hardware company The Blinc Group and cannabis automation company Convectium Jacksam Corporation have got the company making new devices, improving quality control processes and offering products and services to help partner companies work more efficiently. “This year, a focus on authentication and anti-counterfeit measures will be paramount,” continues Strong. She says that’s going to take the form of companies expanding their selection of closed-end vaporizers. These are systems that require a specific power supply and cartridge to work together. With no mix-and-matching, customers have more assurance that their device is authentic from top to bottom. These systems can better calibrate the power and resistance settings to achieve the best vapor volume, temperature and flow and avoid issues such as overheating, burning or offering dry hits. “By offering new, closed-end, all-in-one pod systems, like the Liquid Que and Liquid Infinity, we’re able to control the user experience completely.” The company has always designed its de-

vices specifically for use with terpene-rich, high-viscosity formulations. The ability to customize cartridges has led to further optimization as well as control over the mouthfeel of the vapor and flavour purity of the oil. This level of precision lends itself ideally to the medical cannabis market where future innovations will focus on the kind of dose control these customers need. “We expect consumers to continue to demand a universal product,” continues Strong. Universal 510-thread platforms have long been popular in the industry, as they allow a range of batteries and cartridges to work with each other. Within both product categories, fine-tuning of safety features appeal to consumers. These include retrofitting existing products to make them childproof, focusing on making mouthpieces tamper-resistant and also offering mouthpieceless designs, as well as solutions that eliminate tampering and with it the possibility that oil will be exposed to cutting agents or contaminants. Of course, it’s not always possible to stay ahead of the black market when it comes to knockoffs. “It’s increasingly hard to tell a bad vape from a good one,” admits Strong. To that end, Jupiter has a comprehensive consumer information strategy in place. It produces YouTube videos that, for instance, inform customers on how to verify their vaporizers. It operates a customer-service email and telephone service that encourages anyone with concerns about a product to contact them and staff will help assess the product they have in hand. Across vaporizer product lines, consumers seek a great vaping experience with an attractive device. “Customers have called for discrete, handheld experiences that allow them to enjoy a wide array of form factors,” says Strong. Many new products look as much like fashion accessories as they do functional devices. Vaporizer manufacturers are being asked to accomplish a great deal, and do so against tight competition. Those who will thrive will blend a commitment to public health, precise function and on-trend design. “Today’s vape users are interested in quality and performance, paired with topnotch design. Function and form together in one,” says Strong.

Provincial Updates/
Ontario
In April, to continue the fight against the illegal cannabis market and support cannabis retail store operators and legal recreational cannabis consumers, the Government of Ontario issued an Emergency Order to temporarily allow authorized cannabis retail stores to offer delivery and curbside pick-up. These changes will last for the duration of the government’s Emergency Order on business closures.
Manitoba
AgraFlora Organics International Inc. announced that its subsidiary The Edibles and Infusions Corporation (EIC) has completed construction on its 51,000-square-foot fully-automated edibles manufacturing facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The company is now preparing to apply for a Standard Processing License from Health Canada.
Quebec
The Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) reminds all customers that order online that Canada Post has modified its door-to-door delivery procedure for orders requiring a signature and age verification since March 15. Le Societe Quebecoise du Cannabis, a government-owned, legislated monopoly for the recreational sale of Cannabis, carries on with business as usual from Monday – Saturday, as it has been deemed an essential business by the province. They have put in place the social distancing policies to ensure health and safety measures.
Saskatchewan
A local firm specializing in medical cannabis science is lending its expertise to the University of Saskatchewan-based VIDO-InterVac research lab’s quest for a COVID-19 vaccine. Saskatoon-based ZYUS Life Sciences is working with researchers at VIDO-InterVac to help create the vaccine that could potentially be “plant-based” according to the company. Using plants to create the necessary proteins provides a way to produce a potential vaccine that also offers large amounts of scalability once in production. In April, Canopy Growth, an Ontario-based cannabis company, announced the closing of its facility in Yorkton. The announced changes cost 85 full-time jobs.
Alberta
As of March 1, cannabis retail outlets, manufacturers and producers as well as warehousers and distributors and AGLC (Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis) operations are considered essential operations. Cannabis retailers and producers made Alberta’s “essential services” list and may remain open provided they implement appropriate sanitation and social-distancing measures.
28
Cannabis Prospect Magazine | June 2020
British Columbia
B.C. has issued more than 200 recreational cannabis store licences to date and is home to more than 80 federal cannabis licences. The provincial government said those cannabis retailers and producers may remain open as “essential businesses” during the COVID-19 crisis. Regulated cannabis stores in British Columbia are now allowed to accept product reservations online and over the phone.
Prince Edward Island
To build on several measures already in place to accomplish these goals, such as modified fulfillment processes, adding new debit payment options (e.g. Visa Debit and Mastercard Debit), and touch-free deliveries, effective April 1, 2020, PEI Cannabis will temporarily waive all delivery fees for customer orders until such time it can re-open physical locations.
Newfoundland & Labrador
While the province of Newfoundland announced the closure of all non-essential businesses, including cannabis retail stores, when it declared a state of emergency in mid-March. The cannabis stores were quickly reopened shortly thereafter. Cannabis retailers in Newfoundland have been ordered to close for “in-person service.” The Newfoundland government said closed recreational cannabis retailers can continue operating online is if possible.
Nova Scotia
According to a CBC article, Nova Scotia’s Court of Appeal has significantly reduced the scope of a class action lawsuit against Moncton-based cannabis producer Organigram Inc. The case alleged that medical marijuana tainted with pesticides not approved for use on cannabis made customers using the product sick. The ruling says the plaintiff failed to present enough evidence that the cannabis caused illness. As a result, members of the class can’t claim damages for health effects.
New Brunswick
Cannabis NB released its unaudited results for the fourth quarter ended March 29, 2020. Total sales of legal recreational cannabis for the quarter (13 weeks) were $14.0 million, 43.9% higher than the quarter ended March 31, 2019 (14 weeks). Increased sales in each of the periods of the fourth quarter resulted in Cannabis NB ending the quarter with a profit of $0.5 million – the first positive quarter since the legalization of Cannabis.
Yukon / Northwest Territories / Nunavut The Yukon has allowed for the online purchase and delivery of cannabis. Due to COVID-19 precautions, Canada Post has temporarily changed its delivery method. It will not be delivering parcels that require a signature or proof-of-age to the customer’s door. Instead, Canada Post will leave a notice card directing customers to a nearby post office where they can pick up their items by showing proof of identity. / According to the Northwest Territories Liquor and Cannabis Commission, all NWT Liquor Stores will have reduced hours to help ensure staff availability throughout the COVID-19 response, Monday through Saturday. To further protect our customers and staff, some locations will be limit the number of customers in the store and provide specific shopping times for seniors, which, is in line with the principles of social distancing. / In Nunavut, to reduce and prevent the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus, the NULC has implemented social distancing measures in the store. For staff and public safety, the NULC will be limiting the number of customers allowed in the store at a time. Customers are requested to stand at least two meters apart while waiting in line outside the store. Starting March 25, 2020, the store will not be accepting cash. Debit card and credit card (including prepaid credit cards) will still be accepted.

any of us seek alternative nutrition and medicine to deal with common ailments such as chronic pain, anxiety, infections, compromised immunity, etc. Although natural ingredients such as cannabis may successfully relieve these issues, there are still concerns as to whether they are safe and effective. In fact, one of the most common consumer criticisms about cannabis products is that they do not receive a consistent experience when purchasing and consuming the same product at different times. “The food, beverage and natural products industries have developed good manufacturing processes to ensure quality assurance in their supply chain. This is a common practice for brands so that they can consistently produce safe, quality products for consumers,”, explains Deleo de Leonardis, CEO at Purity-IQ. SOLUTIONS FROM INNOVATIVE MOLECULAR SCIENCE Science provides solutions for quality assurance based on a foundation in genomics and metabolomics. The “omics” approach provides a key to understanding the considerable diversity of natural chemicals, some of which induce a positive response amongst consumers, while others induce a negative effect. It is prudent that cannabis QA processes consider these omics-based molecular analyses that verify the production of safe, uniform, effective products. The key concept in this molecular approach is found within the complexity of the genome as it relates to the metabolites produced by species that induce a specific physiological response in humans or even in our pets, as either nutrition or natural medicine. Cannabis is a good example of a natural product we consume that is poorly understood as it has only recently been legalized in certain countries and allowed as an ingredient in edibles. This is the first time the cannabis industry has had to deal with established brand owners, food manufacturers and retailers who require best practice and validated assurances for GMP and QA testing. There is an expectation that the cannabis-derived ingredients and products are fit for purpose, when it comes to safety, identity, purity and consistency. The challenge in designing a validated commercial identity test is that there are considerable knowledge gaps concerning cannabis cultivar (strain) characterization, given the genetic variation and mechanisms that control the 30

biochemical pathways producing agronomic traits and compounds known for their medicinal and psychoactive properties. Although various studies have initiated cloning and expression of THC and CBD genes, variability in the cannabis genome has only been recently advanced to include multi-loci approaches for marker assisted breeding. These genomic advancements are important because they have identified extensive rearrangements at the THC/CBD acid synthase loci and new linkage groups associated with other important genes and gene networks, underlying cannabinoid and terpenoid accumulation. Such genome-wide association studies provide a basis for developing novel gene networks that are associated with traits including metabolites that can be used to characterize cultivars. Our novel approach argues that current genomic sequencing alone is not enough to discriminate the complexity of cultivars. The basis for cultivar classification is facilitated by the considerable diversity of over 540 known compounds that have all been documented in cannabis using analytical spectroscopy and chromatography focused on targeted phytochemicals. We developed a method that classifies chemical variation in cannabis cultivars using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to analyze metabolites in an untargeted approach that explores the natural variation in cannabis phytochemistry. This approach facilitates the detection of primary and secondary metabolites including two-dimensional NMR spectrum signals that are directly proportionate to the molar concentrations of the chemical compounds. The method is easily and cost-effectively applied to commercial applications due to relatively simple sample preparation in non-destructive, deuterated solutions, which generate immediate NMR spectra that are classified using multivariate statistical models we developed. This approach allows for the qualification of batch-to-batch variation in metabolite profiles based on confidence intervals. Non-compliant batches can be rejected, which reduces the risk of contamination and ensures the consistency of cannabis products. We call these modeled NMR profiles chemical fingerprints, which is a forensic quantitative measure of chemical diversity that can be correlated with several groups of traits. These include agronomic (e.g. growth, disease tolerance), quality (e.g. processing, stability and shelf-life), medicinal (e.g. THC & CBD and other can-

nabinoids such as Cannflavin), organoleptic sense-based cues including neurological, or experiential (e.g. taste, smell). WHY ARE METABOLITE FINGERPRINTS USEFUL? What is the benefit of having a cannabis metabolite fingerprint for the products that we consume? Metabolite fingerprints provide forensic evidence for any natural ingredient’s identity and purity allowing a manufacturer to produce a consistent product for consumers. This also provides a molecular diagnostic tool that filters unnatural synthetic adulterants that are health risks including improperly manufactured synthetic cannabinoids. Metabolite fingerprints can help us understand how an individual will respond to a specific ingredient as we engage in large-scale human health trials in which many physiological responses are considered including metabolite analyses of urine and blood. This is a personalized natural product experiential model in which consumers will be able to choose the cannabis cultivar that best supports their well-being. Consumers will have assurances that they are consuming the same cannabis product if it has the same metabolite fingerprint. Removing the mystery of how any natural products can improve your life is a common goal in society at large and we seek to share science-based knowledge on how natural ingredients can help support a healthy lifestyle. This is a process that is under the control of consumers who have the choice to demand 1) metabolite fingerprints from brand owners in order to ensure transpar-
ency in the supply of natural ingredients for the products they seek to purchase, and 2) clinical evidence to support health claims. This approach helps to assemble a science-based foundation for health practitioners so that they have the basic tools needed to recommend authentic cannabis cultivars with known metabolites for their patients who seek alternative medicine for chronic illnesses. A FORENSIC APPROACH TO ENSURE QUALITY CANNABIS The forensic world of nuclear magnetic resonance that is used to eliminate counterfeiting of drugs can now be used to create metabolite fingerprints to ensure cannabis cultivar traceability and quality assurance. Our research team at the NHP Research Alliance, University of Guelph developed the concept of constructing NMR metabolomic fingerprint profiles to ensure identity and purity of specific cannabis cultivars for consumers (Figure 1 & 2). The proof of concept has been established using many commercial cannabis cultivars used in the marketplace and within wild populations throughout the globe. “We are pleased to be working closely with the Guelph research team and Purity-IQ who are using a combination of genomic sequencing and our NMR instrumentation for metabolomic analyses to assemble a detailed registry for cannabis cultivars that serves to advance cannabis science while providing a useful system that can verify cannabis cultivar identity and purity in the products for consumers,” stated Henry Stronks, president at Bruker Ltd. This facilitates testing of cannabis
needed for GMP and verification of materials in global trade. The cannabis cultivar registry is a database that can serve as an exploratory model for hypothesis testing on bioactivity of ingredients, efficacy-based human health trials, determination of toxic levels or dose, and agricultural production of commercial products. This “omics” database would also be a valuable food security tool for supply chain authentication of ingredients through block-chain technology that can enable international trade of products of known quality, as they would be tagged with an inherent, forensic, metabolite fingerprint. Based on history, every major manufacturing sector has needed to implement rigorous ISO (International Standards Organization) based safety and quality standards to save lives, build quality and access markets, to effectively compete. Licenced cannabis producers of products derived from cannabis who wish to supply major retailers and established brand owners through contract manufacturing, will all eventually need to demonstrate their ability to consistently manage safety and quality assurances, which can be verified and validated by accredited third parties. Companies that can successfully integrate available industry quality tools into their day-to-day preventative and quality management systems will be more competitive within a much broader marketplace.

Ten Years in the Making How Canna-Cabana Developed its Brand Before and After Legalization By David Halpert, Editor
I
t’s April 20, 2019, more commonly known as 4/20, and the team at High Tide is anxiously finalizing preparations for the grand opening of its Hamilton store, the first for Steel City and the third for the province of Ontario. Under a giant fold-out tent, hotdogs are sizzling on the grill, the sound of kettle drums fills the air. San Rafael is pressing T-shirts for eager patrons. It’s a celebratory albeit standard affair, having orchestrated more than 30 of these grand openings since legalization, or at least it would be if it wasn’t the rainiest day of the year. And yet, despite this, a line of 300-strong come out eager to join in the festivities, wrapping around the block like a giant, umbrellaed snake. With more than 18 in cannabis retail, and approaching 40 stores to date at the time of this writing, Canna-Cabana has blossomed into one of the most recognizable recreational cannabis franchises nationwide. But to understand what makes Canna-Cabana such a strong brand in Canada is to understand that its stores are less of an overnight success but one of a rich history that goes back more than a decade. Canna-Cabana really began with Smokers Corner, a cannabis accessories retailer in Alberta by High Tide’s current CEO Raj Grover. The franchise eventually grew to 18 locations across Canada and it remained its own company until High Tide, its parent company, was formed in 2018. Now, with legalization on the horizon, Canna-Cabana had a leg-up over its competitors, with a breadth and depth of hands-on retail knowledge most other up-and-coming cannabis retailers lacked. “Our core advantage is we know our customer. I remember coming into cannabis legalization at the end of 2018 and being part of that peer group of retailers who at that moment were all targeting the high-end market, all targeting upper-middle class professionals as their market,” says Andy Palalas, Chief Revenue Office at High Tide, who oversees all aspects of Canna-Cabana’s operations. In recalling those pre-legalization days, Palalas cited a 2018 Deloitte study towards the cannabis attitudes that at the time most other retailers treated like dogma, “I remember being on some panels and feeling really out of place because everyone else was beating the drum of this market that they thought was there and I was there thinking, ‘That’s not who we’re selling bongs to right now. That’s not who’s buying weed right now. I know who you’re talking about but that’s not who’s in my stores’.” To that end, with an initial opening of four stores in Alberta, Canna-Cabana managed the customer experience in a very different way. First, it was the first to merchandise its product on the floor, a strategy that has since been adopted by fellow competitors, to where its customers can physically see the product instead of being hidden locked away behind the counter. “So when you walk into our stores the first thing you see is beautiful display cases. You can actually shop. I know that Canada Health packag-

“Our core advantage is we know our customer. I remember coming into cannabis legalization at the end of 2018 and being part of that peer group of retailers who at that moment were all targeting the high-end market, all targeting upper-middle class professionals as their market.” ing is not the sexiest and most exciting. The customer still wants to see what they’re purchasing,” continues Palalas, “They don’t want to order off a menu board or printed list. It’s impossible to connect with a brand that way. So the customer experience from a merchandising perspective is number one.” Second, Palalas attributes Canna-Cabana’s success to delivering an authentic cannabis experience for all customers, not just canna-curious, upper-middle class professionals and having your budtenders know more product knowledge beyond mere THC content. “The ability to create a playful, sophisticated cannabis culture experience is key. Where you can walk into our stores and find information about strains and cultivars that have existed before legalization, and the history behind these products, and what goes into creating a cannabis culture experience is knowing the cannabis culture. My mission is to make legal weed sexy, make legal weed cool. It’s not cool right now.” It’s worth noting that the High Tide empire has far extended past its retail roots but to date includes Grasscity, the world’s largest e-commerce site for cannabis accessories and lifestyle products based out of Amsterdam, RGR Canada, one of Canada’s largest manufacturers and distributors of cannabis accessory products, and Famouz Brands, a Nevada-based accessories manufacturers whose merchandising partners includes Snoop Dogg, Cheech & Chong, and The Trailer Park Boys just to name a few. It was this expertise across the recreational cannabis ecosystem that led Palalas to recognize a disconnect when it came to cannabis retailing as we know it today, “If you were in the summer last year and you came into the cannabis legal market the only thing anyone was talking about was how much opportunity there was. People were getting hired like crazy, people were paying crazy salaries, retailers had Chief Executives
of this and Vice Presidents of that and they had one location or didn’t even have a store. “And so this immediately set off a few warning bells in my head. Because we’d been a private business a long time and that’s just not how business works. And so when we came into retailing last summer, we realized the earnings expectations are taking a longer amount of time to ramp up than expected and the product availability was lower than expected. We needed to start making some really deliberate decisions on what we’re going to do with our business to make sure we’re sustainable. We can’t just keep burning cash for the rest of the century.” Palalas attributed Canna-Cabana’s long-term success to cost-cutting and being laser-focused on profitability where many competing retailers were focused on raising money. “For me it was, ‘how do we get profitable?’ We’re excited to be one of the retailers to declare profitability. It’s our only mission right now.” When pressed as to whether Canna-Cabana has benefited from Hide Tide’s breadth of expertise in manufacturing, distribution and retailing, Palalas was remarkably candid, “It’s our core advantage, knowing what we know about the cannabis accessories market helps us know who our customer is. If you don’t know your customer. What are you doing? You can’t make decisions until you know your customer. We learn more about them every day but also had a 10-year head start. The key element is we don’t operate under the if-you-build-it-they-will-come assumption. We operate under the we-build-where-we-are-and-we-provide-themwith-what-they-like assumption.” As for future plans for the franchise, the company plans to dominate the Ontario market while staying true to the values that made the company such a success in the first place, continuing to refine its understanding of who our customer is and how to best serve them.
