Hollister Biosciences Inc. $HOLL.ca $HSTRF Signs Exclusive Agreement with Easyriders to Design, Manufacture and Produce a National Cannabis Product Line $CRON $GTBIF $INDS $META.ca $FAF.ca $WEED.ca

Landmark Deal Establishes Iconic Pairing of Cannabis and Motorcycle Cultures

  • As part of Easyriders’ 50th-anniversary celebration, the Company signed an exclusive agreement with Hollister Biosciences to introduce a national line of cannabis products that embody the biker spirit and ethos.
  • It is anticipated that the new line will make its debut next month with pre-rolls and mini pre-rolls, followed by a cannabis tattoo balm that’s applied directly to the skin after new ink, with a full line of products coming in 2021.

VANCOUVER , Dec. 15, 2020 – Hollister Biosciences Inc. (CSE: HOLL ) (OTC: HSTRF ) ( FRANKFURT : HOB ) (the ” Company “, ” Hollister Cannabis Co. ” or ” Hollister “) has its roots in the birthplace of the American biker, and Easyriders has been the definitive voice of motorcycle culture for half a century. As part of Easyriders’ 50th-anniversary celebration, the Company signed an exclusive agreement with Hollister Biosciences to introduce a national line of cannabis products that embody the biker spirit and ethos.  It is anticipated that the new line will make its debut next month with pre-rolls and mini pre-rolls, followed by a cannabis tattoo balm that’s applied directly to the skin after new ink, with a full line of products coming in 2021.

The Company feels the market potential for these products is significant, but so is the cultural significance considering the two companies involved.

Easyriders magazine debuted shortly after the groundbreaking 1969 film Easy Rider in which Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper portray bikers traveling across the American Southwest. Similarly, Hollister Biosciences is based in Hollister, California , home to an infamous 1947 biker rally that birthed the outlaw biker image and inspired the Marlon Brandon film The Wild One . Cannabis, which had developed its own outlaw culture a few decades before, became a staple among bikers in the late ’60s onward. As epitomized in the pages of Easyriders, this vibrant biker culture grew beyond its outlaw origins to inspire an independent spirit that embraces exploration, Americana and the sense of freedom that only comes from riding.

This is a culture that accepts nothing less than total authenticity. That includes its choice in cannabis, and that is why Hollister Biosciences and Easyriders were destined to take this ride together. From their historic roots in biker culture to their embrace of its visual iconography, these companies will offer the first truly authentic cannabis products for one of the most iconic cultures in modern American history.

“My vision for Hollister has always been to pay homage to the amazing biker culture that has permeated the global landscape over the past few decades by combining it with amazing cannabis products,” says Carl Saling , the Co-Founder, CEO and Director of Hollister Biosciences. “Easyriders is one of the most iconic and recognizable global biker brands. We are proud to be their exclusive cannabis partner, and we look forward to producing a truly authentic experience across the cannabis SKUs we develop and distribute across America.”

Hollister Biosciences, whose products are currently found in nearly 300 dispensaries in California and more than 80 in Arizona , takes a seed-to-shelf approach that carefully scales up small-farm style production that meets the highest quality standards. As part of the new agreement, the company will introduce Easyriders pre-rolls and tattoo balms into the California market in early 2021 with a full line of products to follow. Like an eastbound ride on Route 66, Arizona comes next, and the rest of the American markets will follow.

Pepper Foster, President of Easyriders, stated, “My vision for Easyriders has been to pay homage to the 50 years of this iconic magazine and to Joe Teresi who launched Easyriders in the late 1960s. The first magazine hit the stands in June 1970 , and 50 years later, we are proud to carry the torch, expanding upon that yen to be devoid of restraint by taking a broader look at what it means to be a biker in the 21st century while staying connected to our original roots. In continuing our commitment to authenticity, we are proud and excited to partner with another iconic brand, Hollister . We invite you to take the ride with us. Ride hard. Ride fast.”

The terms of the deal are; 2-year exclusive agreement on all cannabis products in the US with an 80:20 net revenue split in favour of Hollister with options to renew for subsequent terms.

About Easyriders

In 1970, Easyriders established itself as a platform for motorcycle enthusiasts to immerse in the rugged, on-the-road lifestyle championed by the counterculture movement and greats like Steve McQueen , Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper . Issues of civil rights, the Vietnam War (and ensuing protests), political scandal and the emerging generation gap fueled our obsession with wind-swept freedom and ingrained Easyriders with its overarching sense of rebellion.

More than a magazine, Easyriders is a lifestyle.

In celebration of our 50th anniversary, we are shifting with the times and expanding the brand to encompass exclusive, major-label product collaborations; insider events and music festivals; and a quarterly coffee table–style book — that’s four thick issues per year jam-packed with gorgeous photography and feature stories.

With a nod to our roots in independence, passion and freedom, and with newfound emphasis on international travel, design and entertainment, Easyriders has flown full throttle into a new era. Join us as we embark on this next journey.

VIDEO – Hollister $HOLL.ca $HSTRF Reports Record Q3 Revenues With $12.5M From 360+ Dispensaries In California and Arizona $CRON $GTBIF $INDS $META.ca $FAF.ca $WEED.ca

Hollister Biosciences (HOLL:CSE) is a multi-state operator with multiple, high-quality products that are now carried in 280 of California’s 600 dispensaries, where it also claims California’s #1 hash infused pre-roll “HashBone” … and if that is all they had you would have the makings of a great small cap cannabis company. 

But there is more …. way more. 

Venom Extracts is their 100% owned subsidiary that is absolutely dominating the state of Arizona.  More than just lip service:

  • Venom just surpassed $30,000,000 (MILLION) in revenue YEAR TO DATE
  • Venom Extracts is one of Arizona’s premier extract brands 
  • One of the state’s largest producers of medical cannabis distillate and related products
  • The products are award winning
  • ….. And it is run by the absolute coolest guy in small cap Cannabis – Jake Cohen  

THE NUMBERS SAY IT ALL 

1.  RECORD Q3 REVENUE          $12.5M 

2.  CRAZY REVENUE GROWTH    5,200%

3.  RECORD EBITDA                 $1.265M (vs a loss of $362,000) In case you’re wondering if this was a fluke quarter, this is what Q2 looked like: 

  • RECORD REVENUE of $US 8.47M, compared to $200,000 last year and representing an increase of 4,170%
  • NET INCOME of $300,000, compared to a loss of $2.1M, representing a turnaround of $2.4M over last year 

HOLLISTER HEADED TOWARDS $50,000,000 REVENUE? 

If you’re paying attention, HOLL is achieving enormous growth both year over year and sequentially.  If we extrapolate the latest Q3 numbers, Hollister is on a $50,000,000 annualized revenue run rate assuming no further growth. 

But there is more. 

The State of Arizona just approved recreational cannabis in Arizona.  This is a potential windfall for Venom given the fact its brand, reputation and dispensary penetration from its award winning medical cannabis is about as good as it gets.  How good is Hollister now? 

How good does it get? 

Watch this incredible interview with Venom Extracts Founder Jake Cohen, the coolest exec in small cap cannabis because he delivers incredible results with sweat, swagger and great swag to boot.

Arizona Voters Approve Marijuana Legalization Ballot Measure

  • A measure to legalize marijuana has been approved by Arizona voters, according to a projection by the Associated Press.
  • Advocates have paid close attention to the ballot initiative, as the state’s voters rejected a prior legal cannabis proposal in 2016.
  • Under the new legalization law, adults will be able to possess up to an ounce of marijuana at a time and cultivate up to six plants for personal use.

AZ Proposition 207: Legalize Marijuana

CandidateVotesPercent
Yes done1,596,54859.85%

2,667,803 votes counted. 81.64% – 98.11% in.

“Until now, Arizona had imposed some of the strictest prohibition laws in the country; in some instances, the possession of even small amounts of marijuana was classified as a felony,” NORML Executive Director Erik Altieri said. “By rejecting this failed policy, no Arizonan going forward will be saddled with a criminal conviction for engaging in the personal possession or cultivation of cannabis, or face the lifelong stigma that comes with it.”

“Proposition 207 will disrupt the illicit market, end low-level marijuana arrests, create jobs and new revenue,” he added. “This result once again shows that marijuana legalization is not exclusively a ‘blue’ state issue, but an issue that is supported by a majority of all Americans—regardless of party politics.”

Polling was mixed heading into Election Day, with surveys consistently showing the proposal ahead, though by differing margins. In September, the Smart and Safe Arizona campaign shared an internal poll with Marijuana Moment that showed 57 percent of likely voters supported the  initiative, but a separate survey found just 46 percent in favor of the policy change. Additional polls last month showed the cannabis measure with a significant and growing lead.

The measure also contains several restorative justice provisions such as allowing individuals with prior marijuana convictions to petition the courts for expungements and establishing a social equity ownership program.

Cannabis sales will be taxed at 16 percent. Tax revenue will cover implementation costs and then be divided among funds for community colleges, infrastructure, a justice reinvestment and public services such as police and firefighters.

The Department of Health Services will be responsible for regulating the program and issuing cannabis business licenses. It will also be tasked with deciding on whether to expand the program to allow for delivery services.

The law technically goes into effect upon passage and after the voters are certified, which is expected to take place on November 30. After that point adults could legally use, possess and cultivate cannabis. However, regulators will still have to promulgate rules for overseeing the commercial industry. They can issue licenses starting in January 2021, and the first shops could be approved by February 1.

“Just four years after legalization was narrowly defeated, voters in Arizona turned out to send a clear message that they support marijuana legalization,” Steve Hawkins, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project, said. “Following this victory, adults will no longer be treated as criminals for using a substance that is safer than alcohol and will be able to access it from safe and regulated businesses.”

Like other drug policy reform campaigns throughout the U.S., Smart and Safe Arizona faced significant obstacles qualifying its measure for the ballot amid the coronavirus pandemic.

At one point, activists asked the state Supreme Court to allow them to collect signatures electronically amid social distancing mandates, but that request was rejected.

Ultimately, the campaign submitted about 420,000 raw signatures. Secretary of State Katie Hobbs said that her office verified the petitions and determined that approximately 255,080 valid signatures were turned in. At least 237,645 were needed to qualify.

Opponents of the proposal, including Gov. Doug Ducey (R), released official voter guide arguments against the initiative in August. Supporters filed arguments as well, and all were circulated to voters in a pamphlet printed by the state.

Prohibitionists also released a series of attack ads that including misleading claims about what the measure would do and what has occurred in states that have already enacted cannabis legalization.
