Hollister Biosciences Inc. $HOLL.ca is Making & Donating Hand Sanitizer to Hollister, CA

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:36 AM on Tuesday, March 24th, 2020
  • In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hollister is using its essential business standing and facility to source and produce hand sanitizer for its local community.
  • The CEO of Hollister Biosciences Inc, Carl Saling, shared: “The community of Hollister, CA is near and dear to our hearts, and as the first licensed cannabis company in the city of Hollister, CA, I feel that we must do whatever we can to help.

VANCOUVER, March 24, 2020 – Hollister Biosciences Inc. (CSE: HOLL, FRANKFURT: HOB, OTC: HSTRF) (the “Company” or “Hollister“) – through its Hollister Cannabis Co division, is stepping up to manufacture and distribute a few thousand bottles of hand sanitizer to Hollister, CA.

A statewide “shelter at home” mandate has been issued for California, putting a halt to non-essential manufacturing and delay in distribution. Cannabis retailers and manufacturers are considered essential businesses in California. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hollister is using its essential business standing and facility to source and produce hand sanitizer for its local community.

Hollister will be giving its first batch of hand sanitizer to the Hollister food bank. Multiple batches of hand sanitizer are expected to be delivered to community organizations over the next few weeks.

The CEO of Hollister Biosciences Inc, Carl Saling, shared: “The community of Hollister, CA is near and dear to our hearts, and as the first licensed cannabis company in the city of Hollister, CA, I feel that we must do whatever we can to help.

It infuriated me seeing companies price gouging much needed items, such as hand sanitizer.  I am all for making money, but not at the expense of playing on people’s fears during a time of crisis. We just had to act.

We are going to focus on donating to the facilities that are often overlooked: the food bank, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and homeless shelters, where some of the most vulnerable are sheltering in place.

I am calling all business owners to step up in this time of crisis and do whatever you can to help your local community.”

NORTHBUD $NBUD.ca – Growing Preference For #Edibles Over Smoking #Cannabis Projected To Drive Global Cannabis Edibles Market Growth $CGC $ACB $APH $CRON.ca $OGI.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:25 PM on Monday, March 23rd, 2020

SPONSOR: NORTHBUD (NBUD:CSE) Sustainable low cost, high quality cannabinoid production and procurement focusing on both bio-pharmaceutical development and Cannabinoid Infused Products. The company recently received Canadian Cultivation Licence for its Quebec Facility. Learn More.

Growing Preference For Edibles Over Smoking Cannabis Projected To Drive Global Cannabis Edibles Market Growth

  • Rising approval of recreational marijuana has surged the demand for legal cannabis
  • Thus, cannabis edibles are extensively approved in nations such as Canada, the US, Chile, Spain, Germany, Australia, and Israel

Cannabis edibles can be defined as food products that comprise cannabinoids and its spinoffs. Numerous cannabis edibles entail a considerable amount of cannabinoids that assist in decreasing anxiety and fatigue along with enhancing appetite. Also, cannabis edibles assist in improving relaxation & euphoria and are administered for recreational as well as medicinal reasons. The growing acceptance of cannabis is the key factor likely to drive the growth of the global cannabis edibles market during the forecast period.

Further, these products are deemed to be effective, safe, and have intoxicating & healing impacts of cannabis with no exposure to likely threats of cannabis smoking. Consequently, this is projected to boost the expansion of the global cannabis edibles market in the upcoming period. In addition, the rising usage of cannabis edibles in beverages, baked items, chocolates, candies, lozenges, and gummies are also anticipated to contribute to the expansion of the global cannabis edibles market. With the rising recognition of these products in the nations that are making cannabis legal for medicinal purposes, the cannabis edibles market is projected to register a substantial rate of growth during the near future.

Apart from this, the rising approval of recreational marijuana has surged the demand for legal cannabis. Thus, cannabis edibles are extensively approved in nations such as Canada, the US, Chile, Spain, Germany, Australia, and Israel. The cannabis industry has surfaced in recent times as a productive business domain with a huge prospect for market expansion and is driving the attention of several new merchants and giant financiers. This is owing to the rising social recognition of cannabis-infused edibles and recreational marijuana products around the world.

Further, this has not only elevated the revenues and sales of top firms but has also considerably contributed to the revenue of numerous governments. Also, merchants are observing a rise in the growth avenues in businesses entailing cannabis edibles like ice creams, chocolates, and brownies, thereby fueling the global of the global cannabis edibles market.

Nevertheless, several cannabis extracts utilized in the making of the cannabis edibles are inclined to confront judicial scrutiny and regulatory challenges in the coming period that might obstruct the expansion of the global cannabis edibles market. Nonetheless, the elevated usage of cannabis edibles to efficiently treat several conditions such as epilepsy, cancer, chronic pain, anorexia, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and nausea is anticipated to cancel out the impacts of numerous market hindrances. To cite, as announced on March 18, 2020, Clovr, a Kansas City-located cannabis manufacturing firm, has collaborated with Wana Brands, a cannabis edibles giant, to get edible products to the quickly flourishing and much-awaited Missouri market. Introduced in 2010, the Colorado brand already serves Oregon, Ohio, California, Illinois, Michigan, Arizona, Oklahoma, and now Missouri, with intentions to function in Florida and Maryland. Lately, Wana Brands also set up an international footmark, getting its items to the Canadian cannabis market via a licensing pact with Indiva Limited.   Source: https://cannabisindustrynews24.com/1491/growing-preference-for-edibles-over-smoking-cannabis-projected-to-drive-global-cannabis-edibles-market-growth/

With 165,000 patients, Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) has a database that almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for.  Patient visits increased 351% in Q4 and 800% in February.  But would Coronavirus social gathering imitations put the clinic network at risk?

No.  In fact, it has had the opposite effect, with the clinics being designated an essential service.  Moreover, Empower has had to actually increase operating hours.

Watch this interview with the Company’s CEO, Steven McAuley, who is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE chairman Jack Welch. We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets.

COVID-19 restrictions sparking a run on cannabis stores

By: Bruce Barcott and David Downs

  • They’re not closed yet! Customers are stocking up on cannabis this weekend, preparing for what could be more retail store restrictions in coming days.

As governors and mayors across North America order the shutdown of bars, restaurants, and gathering events, cannabis stores are experiencing a dramatic surge in sales that started over the weekend and now continues into the work week. (Leafly has an updated page tracking store closures, openings, and new delivery allowances.)

Consumers are stocking up now, eyeing their potential future over in Europe, where some nations have closed all retail outlets except food stores and pharmacies.

Cannabis and coronavirus: Here’s what you need to know

On Saturday, Boston’s WGBH broadcast images of customers lining up outside New England Treatment Access (NETA) in Brookline, one of the few licensed cannabis stores operating in Massachusetts. WGBH’s Tori Bedford reported:

In Brookline, marijuana dispensary New England Treatment Access has eliminated all walk-in orders due to a high volume of customers, and will now only serve customers who place orders in advance. “In light of the current environment, we will remain open,” an announcement on the NETA website reads, “but will move to Reserve Ahead only starting on Saturday.”

Inside the Brookline store, employees wear latex gloves, and bottles of hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray sit beside each checkout station. The process is efficient, a quick in-and-out, as compared to the massive lines seen snaking around the parking lot of the shop in the past few days, according to NETA employees.

Later Sunday, Boston Mayor Mary Walsh imposed new restrictions on the city’s bars and restaurants. Those establishments will have to cut their capacity in half, and close by 11pm every night. As of now, there are no unusual restrictions on cannabis stores.

Also Sunday, the governors of Ohio and Illinois ordered all bars and restaurants closed. By mid-day Monday, similar orders had been issued in too many states to mention.

Amid coronavirus, Canadian cannabis stores see ‘unprecedented’ sales surge

By Matt Lamers

  • Cannabis stores in Ontario and Alberta reported “unprecedented demand” as the country hunkers down to fight a worsening coronavirus outbreak, industry sources say

Executives told Marijuana Business Daily there is no threat to supply chains at this time, and safety measures have been put into place for employees and consumers.

Spiritleaf CEO Darren Bondar said his 46 stores “experienced an unprecedented demand for cannabis over the weekend with sales up 20% over the previous one and a record number of customers served.

“The supply chain remains in place, stores are stocked and we have seen an uptick in edible purchases.”

Spiritleaf is encouraging online ordering via click-and-collect programs in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.

In most of Canada, provinces retain monopolies over cannabis e-commerce with delivery. The click-and-collect program allows privately owned stores to take payment online so customers can pick up their orders in stores.

Ontario up 80%

Sales surged week-over-week at Ontario’s monopoly online cannabis store, but some of that increased demand is attributable to lower prices.

The government-owned store aggressively dropped prices on some products as part of an ongoing drive to improve competitiveness.

Mike Ravkine, who operates the popular price-tracking and inventory tool WhatsMyPot, recorded significant price drops at the Ontario Cannabis Store.

“The last three days have seen a marked increase in volume in sales on OCS.ca and a high demand for our same day/next day delivery option where it is available,” Daffyd Roderick, OCS communications director, wrote in an email to Marijuana Business Daily.

“Some authorized retail stores are also reporting an increase in customer volume. Saturday saw almost 3,000 orders, an 80% increase over an average Saturday.”

The OCS’ 4,000 orders Sunday represent a 100% increase from the previous week, officials told MJBizDaily.

Roderick said the OCS has sufficient inventory to meet demand.

“We are working closely with our partners and currently delivering and receiving as per our normal schedule,” he said.

Physical stores in Ontario are also seeing an increase in orders, noted Sessions Cannabis CEO Steven Fry.

“Not unlike major grocery retailers, Sessions Cannabis has seen a significant increase in sales this week due to growing concerns regarding COVID-19 social distancing protocols,” he wrote in an email.

Compared to the previous week, Fry said the Sessions on the Beach location in Toronto saw approximately:

  • A 10% more transactions per day.
  • A 10% increase in dollars spent per transaction.
  • A 21% overall sales growth.

B.C. ‘steady’

British Columbia’s online monopoly BC Cannabis Stores has not seen any new sales trends.

A spokesperson for the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB), which operates the store as well as the province’s cannabis wholesale system, said there has been no change in sales online.

The BCLDB spokesperson also said sales on the wholesale side remain “very flat, steady.”

Alberta Cannabis, the only legal online store in the province, said it is not sharing any information.

Quebec bump

Quebec’s monopoly online store also saw increased sales.

Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC), which is also the wholesaler for the province, said its website remains “fully functional and parcels are still being delivered.”

“Indeed, we have seen an increase in sales over the last days,” spokesman Fabrice Giguere wrote in an email to MJBizDaily.

Giguere said inventory levels, both online and in stores, are stable.

“We invite all customers returning from a trip abroad or who experience flu-like symptoms to do their shopping directly online,” he noted.

Safety first

Physical cannabis stores are taking measures to increase the health and safety of customers and employees to support social distancing.

“Sessions Cannabis is taking extra measures to ensure the safety of our customers and staff through increased cleaning and sanitation measures and we will continue to monitor the situation to ensure a safe shopping experience,” Fry said.

Bondar said Spiritleaf continues to follow all advice and government guidelines.

“All surfaces, door handles and employee stations are being sanitized throughout the workday to maintain a clean, safe environment for all of us,” he said.

“We encourage customers to check on store hours in the event that they may change to accommodate various staff members’ needs to take care of family members or who are returning from vacation and in self-isolation, which has been happening at a few locations across the country.
