Financing abounds for medical marijuana startups

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:15 AM on Friday, March 14th, 2014

Financing abounds for medical marijuana startups

All of the medical marijuana producers approved by Health Canada or in the approval process say they’d been approached with multiple financing offers.

By: Business reporter, Published on Thu Mar 13 2014

Canada’s new medical marijuana industry is set to make history on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Tweed Inc., among the first ten companies licensed by the federal government to produce and distribute pot, is in the final stages of approval for a listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The firm has a ticker secured — TWD — chosen because fertilizer manufacturer Potash Corp. has long held the ticker POT, joked chairman Bruce Linton.

If it is granted the listing it will become the country’s first public medical marijuana company with an opening share price just below $1, he said.

With over $10 million in private financing, Tweed is housed in the old Hershey’s plant in Smiths Falls and on track to produce 25 different strains of medical marijuana ranging in price from $5 to $12 a gram.

The company hopes to capture a healthy slice of the $1.3-billion medical marijuana industry Health Canada forecasts by 2024. And that’s worth the scrutiny and paperwork of an IPO, said Linton.

“We thought it was an important step to give another level of credibility to what we’re doing as a differentiator in terms of professionalism,” he explained.

Under Canada’s new Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR), which roll out completely April 1, the government appoints and oversees producers. The old guidelines allowed users to grow their own medical marijuana or purchase it from the government.

The cost for staff and facilities to meet Health Canada’s requirements is substantial, say licensees.

“To build up a capacity to produce large quantities, and test the product, and have a quality, secure operation, that requires significant dollars,” said Bedrocan Canada CEO Marc Wayne.

“You’re moving out of the kind of handmade grow ops in days gone by. This is a much more sophisticated industry.”

Fortunately, startup money abounds. All the approved or pending producers the Star spoke with said they’d been approached with multiple offers by financiers.

Venture capitalist Kevin O’Leary may yet be among them. In a recent CNBC appearance, the investor of Dragon’s Den fame raved about the burgeoning U.S. industry where $14 million (U.S.) of recreational pot was sold in Colorado in January.

“For me as an investor, this is like getting an opportunity to get into alcohol after prohibition just ended,” he said on Squawk Box. “This is going to be a massive multi-billion dollar business, regulated and taxed by the government…. I really like the margins in this business – it is phenomenal,” he said.

However, with these changes only happening at the state level —Washington is next to allow recreational pot — O’Leary fears running afoul of territorial rules.

“If I were to invest in two deals I’ve been looking at in Colorado right now I could run into jurisdictional problems as an investor in another state where it’s illegal,” he said.

The Montreal native needs to look closer to home.

“Since we became licensed, I’ve received quite a number of calls, both from individuals and from bankers wanting to talk to me about financing or investing or even going public,” said Neil Closner, MedReleaf CEO.

“This is an extremely exciting, interesting time for bankers in Canada, because there really isn’t a huge healthcare entrepreneurial base in this country; mostly because the government controls healthcare.”

MedReleaf doesn’t have designs on the TSX though.

“Being a public company has its pros, but it involves a lot of work in terms of public reporting and news releases and regulations,” said Closner. “We’d rather focus on growing and treating our patients.”

Mark Gobuty, CEO of The Peace Naturals Project, has a similar outlook: “We think there’s going to be a significant evolution for this industry. We need to be nimble and responsive, both to our clients and to the regulator, and we need to be privately held, with a low amount of shareholders, for really important decisions.”

One publicly-traded Canadian company has their sights on ancillary industries rather than growers or producers.

“There are just a lot of companies rushing into that space,” said Harry Barr, CEO of Vancouver-based Next Gen Metals Inc. “Part of my fear is that there’s a limited amount of patients. I see us financing the companies that do the lights, the fertilizer, the seed, the sophisticated equipment that would go in there. To use a mining analogy, I want to sell them the picks and shovels.”

The long time mining executive, who is diversifying into medical marijuana and industrial hemp to buoy a mining slump, said Next Gen is currently reviewing 45 proposals.

AGORACOM Welcomes Lexaria Corp. as Newest Entrant to the Multi Billion Dollar Medical Marijuana Industry

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:59 AM on Wednesday, March 12th, 2014

LXRP: OTCQB, LXX: CSE

Regulated Marijuana Production

  • Joint Venture signed March 5, 2014 with Enertopia Corp (ENRT-US and TOP-Canada). Enertopia is one of Canada’s leading medical marijuana companies with two recent acquisitions recently announced.
  • Enertopia has the capability of putting more than 60,000 sq ft of production space into use in the cultivation of medical marijuana, through its partly owned subsidiaries.
  • Developed a business plan wherein company will try to acquire more than one license to produce marijuana in Canada under the MMPR legislation.
  • Evaluating potential legal grow locations in those jurisdictions in the USA where they are permitted

Gupta: ‘I am doubling down’ on medical marijuana

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Cheif Medical Correspondent. We have no affiliation with this well known medical expert, but his latest “Doubling Down” on the medical marijuana sector is worthy of your attention. Reasons such as these convince us we are doing the right thing in entering this market.

Medical marijuana and ‘the entourage effect’

We are no longer your Daddy’s Oil Company

Lexaria Corp. has been in business since 2005 and for nine years explored for and developed oil and gas assets in low-risk areas of North America. Lexaria still owns oil production in Mississippi, producing oil from wells at the Belmont Lake oil field. (You can learn about that in our “Oil Operations” section) During the last three full years combined, revenue was a total of about $3,550,000.

But North American society has changed dramatically, and so have we. Our proved management team has always employed sensible risk management controls in an effort to preserve the capital entrusted by shareholders. After all, its YOUR money!

And today, most Americans and most Canadians support some form of medical use of marijuana, in poll after poll.

Likewise, the legal marijuana industry is and will be heavily regulated, and we support that. We’ve already proven our ability to be transparent with our stakeholders and our ability to work within all applicable government regulations. We promise to deliver that transparency and dedication to the legal marijuana industry where these traits are a vital component towards ultimate success.

The medical marijuana business just might be one of the most recession-proof industry sectors there are. There is no boom and bust cycle that is apparent. The average demographic age in North America continues to increase, with over 44 million people in the USA today at the age of 65 or over. Age-related illnesses will continue to grow, and some fraction of these people looking for an alternative to opiate-based painkillers have a real need for pain-relief choices.

Lexaria also has a history of working with joint venture partners, as we’ve demonstrated over the years in Oklahoma,Mississippi, Alberta and Saskatchewan. We’re changing the sector we’re focused on, but we’re not changing our commitment to best practices; to ethical behavior; and to our investors and shareholders.
Oil and Gas Operations

Belmont Lake Oilfield

The Belmont Lake Oil Field is a significant oil discovery for a company our size, and one the Company intends to develop to it to its maximum value. It is within the Frio formation.

Lexaria currently owns 13% – 50% interests in the five existing oil wells in the Belmont Lake oil discovery, which was identified using 3-D Bright Spot technology. At the time of discovery the Company owned only a 20% interest. The Company’s most recent reserve report indicates that eight (8) productive oil wells could be located at Belmont Lake.

This is low-risk development opportunity at Belmont Lake offering superb returns, despite the location in the seasonal floodplain of the Mississippi River which has presented us with challenges. Seasonal flooding of the oil field forced Lexaria and its partners to devise ways to safely and reliably produce oil 12-months per year, even if the surface location was flooded with river water. The Company installed a remote tank farm and separation facility, pipelines, and various mechanical connections. Most important of all, lifting devices were utilized that use compressed natural gas to lift the oil to the surface, allowing our wells to produce at all times.

An important goal for the Company is to unlock the secret of being able to distinguish, in advance of drilling, between Frio Oil targets and Frio Gas targets. We have begun some internal research towards this goal. The Company welcomes any research or information from outside experts towards this goal and invites your contact.

Lexaria has built significant value through our analysis of 3-D seismic covering 130,000 nearby acres. Though we do not currently have an interest in these lands, we have previously generated many drilling targets.

Government Regulation Change Leads to Growth in Industry

Health Canada’s website explains that “The Marihuana Medical Access Program (MMAP) ends on March 31, 2014. This is also the date that all previous Authorizations to Possess, Personal-Use Production Licenses and Designated-Person Production Licenses expire. As of April 1, 2014, the only legal access to marihuana for medical purposes will be through licensed producers under the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR).” (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/marihuana/index-eng.php).

These regulation changes allow licensed producers to grow Medical Marijuana on a commercial scale. Previously, licensed individuals had been allowed to grow Medical Marijuana in their homes. Health Canada estimates that the market could be worth $1.3 billion by 2024. Analysts and industry experts peg estimates to be closer to $2.6 billion by 2016.

Health Canada’s website explains that “The Industrial Hemp Regulation Program permits Canadian farmers to grow low-TCH cannabis for industrial use, under controlled circumstances. This program administers the regulatory approval process for the commercial production of industrial hemp. It is comprised of a system of licenses, permits and authorizations for all persons in Canada engaged in the cultivation, distribution, importation, exportation, and processing of industrial hemp.” (See http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hc-ps/substancontrol/hemp-chanvre/about-apropos/index-eng.php).

In the United States, Medical Marijuana is legal in 20 states including Washington, DC. Furthermore, Colorado and Washington State have legalized recreational use with additional states contemplating legalization. Recent analysis on the American marijuana marketplace by ArcView Angel Investors forecast a 64% surge in the legal U.S. cannabis market to $2.34 billion in 2014. They also estimate that the five-year national market could grow to $10.2 billion amid rising demand and potentially new state markets.
