  • Announced a Memorandum of Understanding with award-winning and leading legacy cannabis brand, the Summit Boys, to co-brand a series of high-quality cannabis concentrates
  • Summit Boys are a well-known legacy recreational cannabis product producers (operating since 2016 under prop 215 and with a cult-like following on Instagram of over 66,000 followers).
  • Demand for Cannabis Concentrates are the Fastest Growing of all Related Product Categories

Vancouver, British Columbia–(July 21, 2020) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FSE: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a Memorandum of Understanding with award-winning and leading legacy cannabis brand, the Summit Boys, to co-brand a series of high-quality cannabis concentrates.

The Summit Boys are a well-known legacy recreational cannabis product producers (operating since 2016 under prop 215 and with a cult-like following on Instagram of over 66,000 followers). In this agreement, Lyfted Farms (a TransCanna subsidiary), will supply high-quality cannabis flower to the Summit Boys for processing into a line of popular cannabis concentrates branded as ‘Caviar.’

In 2019, the Summit Boys earned 14 awards in the Bay Area Cannabis Cup in several categories, including for Best Product and Hybrid Concentrate for this same Caviar product. The line of ‘White Caviar’ branded products are what The Summit Boys are best known for.

Cannabis concentrates have a greater proportion of cannabinoids and terpenes when compared to natural cannabis flowers, and can increase the potency of cannabis flower. Demand for these concentrates are also the fastest-growing of any cannabis product in the California market (the largest Cannabis market globally).

“This co-branding of the already famous Caviar product now powered by Lyfted’s flower is great news for cannabis consumers,” says Bob Blink, TransCanna CEO. “For us, it’s another example of our strategy to align with high-quality producers and already successful players in the industry-this time with the added value of the Summit Boys’ grassroots following. But for the more sophisticated California cannabis market, this partnership will mean an even higher quality product for consumers.”

“As a dedicated brand to California Cannabis market, we wanted to find like-minded partners. Since meeting the Lyfted team, they have earned our respect, and we definitely look forward to working together. There are many things that excite us, but being able to co-brand and scale now that the Daly Facility is licensed is a huge opportunity, ” stated Mike Larson, Summit Boys CEO.

News of this agreement follows an announcement by TransCanna that the Company was awarded its final operating license for the 196,000 square foot Daly Facility by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control July 10, 2020.

  • Begun preparations for the commercial launch of distribution activities at its flagship 196,000 square foot Daly Avenue Facility in Modesto California
  • Goal of Phase 1 is to focus on expansion and ramp-up of the companies’ distribution activities
  • Revised design of Phase 1 of the Daly Distribution build-out increases capacity by 16,000 square feet, allowing the Company to expand this core business unit to service escalating demand from customers

Vancouver, British Columbia–(July 16, 2020) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (XETR: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that with the recent state-wide final license approval, today its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lyfted Farms, Inc. (“Lyfted”), has begun preparations for the commercial launch of distribution activities at its flagship 196,000 square foot Daly Avenue Facility in Modesto California.

The goal of Phase 1 is to focus on expansion and ramp-up of the companies’ distribution activities. The revised design of Phase 1 of the Daly Distribution build-out increases capacity by 16,000 square feet, allowing the Company to expand this core business unit to service escalating demand from customers.

“After many months of planning and preparation, our team is thrilled to begin operations inside of Daly,” said CEO Bob Blink. “We look forward to rewarding our investors’ patience with this initial phase and present the true potential we believe The Daly Building has to offer. As early as Q4 2020, we expect to see an incremental increase in revenue from Distribution activities in the vicinity of $6,000,000 CDN per quarter. When combined with existing revenues, our target run-rate by our fiscal year-end should exceed previous projections and be in the neighborhood of $36,000,000 CDN.”

Lyfted Farms has accepted a contract with Bay Alarm Company to install a state of the art, integrated security system in preparation for commercial activity at the Daly facility. Pre-site preparations are underway, and system completion is expected by August 15, 2020.

Additionally, the facility’s triple-redundancy heating, ventilation, and air conditioning “HVAC,” sub-forty-degree Fahrenheit freezer, and distribution area systems have been activated for pre-cooling and calibration within the areas of operation. Employee technician training has started on the Company’s high speed automated packaging systems, combining WeighPack Swifty Baggers and Combiscale 14-head rotary scales to provide high-efficiency and precision filling, which reduce labor and material costs to industry-leading levels.

Packaging and support materials began arriving this week into the Daly distribution center with completion of the Phase 1 Distribution build-out expected by September 15, 2020.

INTERVIEW: TransCanna $TCAN.ca License Creates One Of California’s Largest Fully Licensed Cannabis Facilities $CGC $ACB $APH $CRON.ca $OGI.ca

TransCanna Holdings (TCAN:CSE) is part of the New Cannabis Kids On The Block wave that investors are demanding after mega financed companies flopped last year.  TCAN, on the other hand, is delivering the following to investors: 

·  $2M CAD Revenue April 2020 

·  $24.6M CAD Revenue Run Rate solely from TransCanna test facility 

·  $90M Annual Revenue expected from first full year upon completion of 196,000 Sq Ft Daly facility Q3 2021 

·  Daly facility will be one of the largest cannabis facilities in California 

And today the story got even better, with TCAN announcing that its wholly-owned subsidiary was granted a “Type 11 Distributor License” by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control for its 196,000 square foot Daly Avenue Facility. 

HUGE BUSINESS IMPLICATIONS – TRANSCANNA POSITIONED TO BECOME PART OF NEW LEADERSHIP GROUP IN CANNABIS  

As a result, Trancanna now owns the largest known, fully licensed cannabis facility in California.  Given the fact TCAN is processing more than $USD 1,000,000/month in wholesale cannabis transactions out of a distribution space of just 1,000 square feet, the implications for Daly expanding to 196,000 square feet are HUGE in the areas of:  

  • Capacity 
  • Revenue
  • Reach
  • …. much more 

The first round of cannabis leaders disappointed investors and created significant value destruction in the space.  But like every new mega industry that goes through a catharsis stage, the next round of growth gives birth to the best and potentially biggest players for the long haul.

The next 24 – 36 months are going to be fun for TCAN.  How fun?  Watch this interview with CEO Bob Blink.

  • Successfully granted a Type 11 ‘Distributor’ license by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control for its 196,000 square foot Daly Avenue Facility
  • Now owns largest known fully licensed cannabis facilities in California
  • “This is the most exciting development in our history and what everyone has been working towards,” says Bob Blink, TransCanna CEO

Vancouver, British Columbia–(July 11, 2020) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FSE: XETR) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lyfted Farms, Inc. (“Lyfted”), was successfully granted a Type 11 ‘Distributor’ license by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control for its 196,000 square foot Daly Avenue Facility.

This long-anticipated milestone marks the completion of all state and local licenses required for the Company to begin operations at its flagship cannabis processing facility in Modesto, California.

This state-wide license represents Lyfted’s most major milestone to date in meeting the distribution and production capabilities needed to meet the escalating demand for its products in the world’s largest cannabis market. The license was granted after three levels of approvals were achieved at the county and state level and will allow for the commencement of packaging, transport, wholesale, pre-roll assembly, labeling, testing, contract packaging (white-labeling), and of course distribution of cannabis products to all licensed retailers across the state.

“This is the most exciting development in our history and what everyone has been working towards,” says Bob Blink, TransCanna CEO. “Being granted a license at the state level is a long, costly, and complex process, and one that requires navigating and understanding a complex regulatory process. It’s a significant barrier to entry for most companies, so this marks a huge turning point for us. We are delighted to have achieved our biggest goal to date and excited to be able to better serve the demands of the California cannabis market.”

The Company is currently completing upgrades to the flagship Daly Facility. Commercial cannabis activities are expected to commence at Daly August 2020, via the deployment of a 16,000 square foot cannabis distribution center (Phase 1). To date, Lyfted has been able to process in excess of $1M USD/month in wholesale cannabis transactions out of a distribution space of 1,000 square feet from its Jerusalem Court facility. These upgrades will mean the Company now has 16,000 square feet of distribution space at its disposal as of August 2020.

“This exponential increase in capacity is incredibly exciting for investors,” says Blink, adding the Company has been focused on building out its wholesale and distribution business while awaiting its final license. “Having processed a million dollars’ worth of product out of a single one-thousand square foot facility, we are anticipating significant growth now that our 196,000 square foot operation is online.”

Lyfted anticipates hiring up to 250 full-time employees at the flagship site with a strong focus placed on social equity and a diverse workforce that is reflective of the communities it serves and operates in.

5 positive testimonials on medical marijuana benefits from real patients

By: Pearce Thompson

We’d like to shine a light on a few patients in this article, to share their insights and experiences on how medical marijuana has benefited them throughout their illness. Please take the time to read through the list of 5 testimonials from real patients who have had positive outcomes from using the herb for their treatments.

If you want to view the history of medical marijuana referenced above, click here. If you want a timeline of the history of medical marijuana use in Canada, click here.

#1 Rebecca Swell an advocate of medical marijuana

When Rebecca was 10 years old she was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, this condition comes from damage to the nervous system and causes extreme pain. Rebecca was forced into a walker or wheelchair from a young age, and when spinal cord stimulation and morphine didn’t work, she tried medical marijuana. Rebecca now needs no walking support, no morphine, and is an advocate of medical marijuana.

#2 Charlotte Figgi (Charlotte’s Web)

The story of Charlotte Figgi is more well known than most. Charlotte was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy at a young age and at 5 she experienced close to 300 mal seizures per week. The condition was so bad the doctor put her in a medically induced coma. In the first week of trying cannabis oil, Charlotte had no seizures. The strain created for her has no psychoactive effects and was renamed “Charlotte’s Web“.

#3 Ashley Surin

Ashly was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a type of cancer that affects white blood cells which makes it harder to fight infections. Ashley was also prone to seizures and her family moved to cannabis oil to aid this. The oil proved effective and is still used by Ashley to this day.

#4 Walter Rodlund

Walter Rodlund is from Fargo, ND and at the age 81 he enjoyed spending time outdoors his entire life. At this time he was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, which decreased his lung capacity. With this condition, Walter could no longer enjoy the outdoors. His daughter recommended cannabis oil, Walter tried, Walter liked, Walter enjoys the outdoors again.

5. Beyla Pagano benefitted a lot by taking medical marijuana

From birth, Beyla had a large amount of cerebrospinal fluid built up in her brain. This caused seizures and doctors believed she would never walk or talk. The prescriptions given to her always put her in a drowsy state, so her family tried medical marijuana. The cannabis oil immediately improved her state, Beyla can walk, talk, and has seizures less frequently.
