640 Postings, 4353 Tage Zonte von MottNach einem ersten Durchgehen der Zahlen...

... muss ich sagen, dass ich absolut zufrieden bin. Werde mir Abends noch mehr Zeit nehmen zum genauen Zerlegen. Es stecken nach wie vor viele Vorschusslorbeeren im Kurs, die nun abverkauft werden. Angesichts der boomende Branche, der sehr guten Aussichten und auch dem massiven Investment von Canopy in Research und Optimierung, fände ich den eingepriesenen Vorschuss aber eigentlich komplett nachvollziehbar. Kennt jemand die aktuelle Shortseller-Rate? Vermutlich wird es nun wieder seitwärts um 8€/8,50€ gehen.

Der nächste Schub wird wohl erst mit der endgültig beschlossenen Legalisierung in Kanada kommen - bis dann die ersten Zahlen kommen, in denen sie sich das auch in den Q-berichten niederschlägt, brauchen wir sicher noch Geduld.

Na ich hoffe doch, dass es jetzt langsam aber dafür sicher in kleinen Schritten weiter Richtung Norden geht.

It looks like Bruce has alluded to that upside in q4 revs correcting back for the inventory:
"Added Linton, "the recent release of our first wave of new genetics and Tweed Farms product resulted in one million dollars of store sales in a single day, on February 1. That is a major milestone for Canopy. Two years ago, we had our first million dollar quarter, a year ago we had our first million dollar month, and now we have had our first million dollar day. It's definitely trending well."

23 FEBRUARY 2017 GOVERNMENT TO FACILITATE FASTER ACCESS TO MEDICAL CANNABIS • AusCann welcomes Federal Government’s move to facilitate faster access to medical cannabis for patients • Government to expedite the authorisation process for the controlled importation by approved providers to enable patients to more rapidly access the medication • AusCann intends to import high quality cannabis medicines from its partner Canopy Corporation, one of the world’s largest medicinal cannabis companies, and following this announcement, its process for importing has become more streamlined. • The news propels AusCann’s strategy to deliver high quality, cost effective medicinal cannabis treatments to Australian patients AusCann Group Holdings Ltd (ASX:AC8 or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide an update to the market on the regulatory developments that will drive forward its strategy to deliver high quality, cost effective medicinal cannabis treatments to Australian patients. The Government has announced it would facilitate faster access to medicinal cannabis for patients in Australia by authorising controlled importation by approved suppliers from international sources. Prior to today’s announcement, AusCann were required to have medical practitioners pre-authorised for a particular medicine, whereas now, the Company is able to expedite its application to become an approved supplier for the import for medical cannabis products. This will allow AusCann to import product ahead of time to meet demand from authorised prescribers and be in a position to more quickly provide patient access. This will significantly accelerate AusCann’s timeline in being to supply Australian patients. The medication imported will need to be stored in a safe and secure facility that meets the requirements of the Office of Drug Control and relevant state government requirements. The Government expects that within 8 weeks, Australia will have a store of imported medicinal cannabis products to be able to rapidly supply to patients, while they work to continue to establish the domestic cultivation and manufacture scheme. AusCann intends to establish a growing facility in Australia to eventually supply Australian patients with Australian grown and manufactured medicines. However, until domestic approvals are received, AusCann’s medicinal products will be imported from its partner Canopy Growth Corporation that is globally recognised as one of the leaders in medicinal cannabis. Elaine Darby, Managing Director, AusCann commented: “We welcome the decision by the Government to accelerate patient access to medicinal cannabis products. It is encouraging that they have been listening to patients and doctors and acting on their concerns. As more doctors seek to become authorised prescribers of the medication, AusCann are well placed among the medical community to be the supplier of choice for doctors and patients. Moreover, this move by the Government clearly signals their commitment to bring this medication to patients, Australia-wide.” ASX RELEASE AusCann Group Holdings Ltd ACN: 008 095 207 http://www.auscann.com.au/ Email: info@auscann.com.au Phone: +61 (8) 9561 8834 Registered Office: 85 Carabooda Road, Carabooda, Western Australia, 6033 For more information please contact AusCann Elaine Darby Managing Director Elaine.darby@auscann.com.au +61 8 9561 8834 For Investment Enquires Stewart Washer Stewart.washer@auscann.com.au +61 418 288 212 For Media Enquiries Caroline Zielinski Media & Capital Partners Caroline.zielinski@mcpartners.com.au +61 400 172 145 ABOUT AUSCANN GROUP AusCann is an Australian based company that was incorporated in September 2014 with the aim of producing and providing high quality, economical and clinically validated cannabis medicines to patients.

Canopy Growth vows to defend itself in tainted cannabis lawsuit

Shares of Canopy Growth Corp. (WEED.TO) fell in early trading Tuesday as Canada’s largest medical marijuana company vows to defend itself in a class-action lawsuit related to a recent tainted cannabis scare.
Last year, Mettrum Ltd. – a company now owned by Canopy – and Organigram Inc. were found to be selling marijuana that contained the controversial pesticide myclobutanil – a chemical that can lead to serious health problems. Separate lawsuits have been filed against the companies, with both suits asking the courts to refund patient money and pay additional damages.
Canopy was aware of the extent of the problem when it bought Mettrum and will “vigorously defend itself,” the company said in a statement Tuesday.
“Canopy Growth was, and continues to be satisfied with Health Canada's independent decision to classify the Mettrum recall as a Type III recall, defined as ‘a situation in which the use of, or exposure to, a product is not likely to cause any adverse health consequences,’” the company said.
The tainted marijuana scandal resulted in management changes at both companies. Mettrum CEO Michael Haines left after Canopy completed its takeover in January. Organigram announced that Greg Engel will become the company’s new CEO next week as Denis Arsenault, its CEO at the time of the recall, takes on the role of executive chairman.

Canopy Growth announces 50% increase in flower production space and tripling of fulfilment capacity at Tweed Smiths Falls campus

SMITHS FALLS, ON, March 23, 2017 /CNW/ - Tweed Inc. ("Tweed"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) ("Canopy Growth" or "the Company"), is pleased to announce the licensing of additional facilities at its flagship Smiths Falls campus, including new grow rooms that will increase flowering space by 50 percent.
"This phase of construction evolves our design and comes in on time and on budget. We've found operational efficiencies that we believe make our existing and newly licensed rooms materially more efficient than they were two years ago. This means more products to market and more variety for customers," said Bruce Linton, Chairman & CEO, Canopy Growth.
Tweed has also received licensing approval for a number of additional rooms targeted at value-added production and operational expansion, including several new fulfilment rooms that will triple Tweed's order fulfilment capacity.
"While more growing space is imperative to our ability to meet demand, we also must be able to scale with increasingly more sophisticated processes and facilities to accommodate rapidly accelerating order demand today and into the future," said Linton.
Following the recent purchase of the 470,000 sq. ft. Hershey Drive campus, expansion work is now fully underway to further increase growing space, value-add processing, product formulation and logistics facilities at the Tweed campus.
Here's to future growth (and shipments).

139 Postings, 2879 Tage bubblestarxlLiberals to announce

marijuana will be legal by July 1, 2018


http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-legal-marijuana-pot-1.4041902  


The Liberal government will announce legislation next month that will legalize marijuana in Canada by July 1, 2018.

CBC News has learned that the legislation will be announced during the week of April 10 and will broadly follow the recommendation of a federally appointed task force that was chaired by former liberal Justice Minister Anne McLellan.

Bill Blair, the former Toronto police chief who has been stickhandling the marijuana file for the government, briefed the Liberal caucus on the roll-out plan and the legislation during caucus meetings this weekend.Provinces to control sales

The federal government will be in charge of making sure the country's marijuana supply is safe and secure and Ottawa will license producers.

But the provinces will have the right to decide how the marijuana is distributed and sold. Provincial governments will also have the right to set price.

While Ottawa will set a minimum age of 18 to buy marijuana, the provinces will have the option of setting a higher age limit if they wish.

4 plants per household

As for Canadians who want to grow their own marijuana, they will be limited to four plants per household.

Legalizing marijuana was one of the more controversial promises Justin Trudeau made as he campaigned to become prime minister.

Highlights from the federal marijuana task force report
Hold off on homegrown pot, police chiefs urge government
But in their platform the Liberals said it was necessary to "legalize, regulate and restrict access to marijuana" in order to keep drugs "out of the hands of children, and the profits out of the hands of criminals."

The Liberals had promised to introduce legislation by the Spring of 2017. Announcing the legislation the week of April 10 will allow the party to hit that deadline.

Raids raise questions

Trudeau referred again to that rough timetable a few weeks ago when he said the legislation would be introduced before the summer. But at the same time he also warned that it wasn't yet open season for the legal sale of marijuana.

"Until we have a framework to control and regulate marijuana, the current laws apply," Trudeau said in Halifax March 1.

That warning became more concrete a week later, when police in Toronto, Vancouver and other cities carried out raids on marijuana dispensaries and charged several people with possession and trafficking, including noted pot advocates Marc and Jodie Emery.

Trudeau's promise to legalize marijuana was seen as one of the reasons for the Liberals' strong showing among youth voters in the 2015 election.

But at the NDP's leadership debate in Montreal Sunday, which was focused on youth issues, several of the candidates pointed to marijuana legislation as an example of a broken Liberal promise.

"I do not believe Justin Trudeau is going to bring in the legalization of marijuana and as proof that ... we are still seeing, particularly young, Canadians being criminalized by simple possession of marijuana," said B.C. MP Peter Julian.

Federal marijuana legislation to be introduced in spring 2017, Philpott says

Canopy Growth Online Store to Offer Patients Products Across Entire Portfolio of Brands

Access to multiple cannabis product offerings through single online store to transform market

SMITHS FALLS, ON, March 29, 2017 /CNW/ – Canadian medical cannabis users are about to have a better way to shop for their medicine. Starting in early April, 2017, Tweed’s new online store, Tweed Main Street, will be the go-to place for the over 50,000 Canadians who are registered with Tweed Inc. (“Tweed”), Bedrocan Canada Inc. (“Bedrocan Canada”) and Mettrum Health Corp. (“Mettrum”), three of Canada’s most established cannabis brands.

Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (OTC: TWMJF) (“Canopy Growth” or the “Company”) owns and operates all three companies (along with licensed producers Tweed Farms Inc. and Agripharm Corp.), which are individually licensed to produce and sell cannabis under Health Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR). Until now, customers have been required to choose a single producer, register with that producer and shop online based on that single producer’s availability. With the introduction of Tweed’s Tweed Main Street store, all our registered customers will now access the full product catalogues of three of the largest and most recognized producers in one convenient online location.

We look at this as a transformative shift in the market. From doctors to patients to virtually every stakeholder in the sector, we have heard continually that variety, reliability and consistency, matched with high quality products and top customer care are essential. Bringing the sector’s three leading producers into a single online marketplace is the most important thing we can do to serve our clients.

With many sector firsts, including the first public listing, the first diversified production platform, the first to introduce CFPC Mainpro accredited CMEs across Canada, the first to legally sell seeds for home-grow production, the first to export Canadian medical marijuana to Germany, and the establishment of Canopy Health Innovations to invest in clinical research, Canopy Growth has been leading the way forward in this exciting sector since day one. It is our privilege to introduce another first: serving tens of thousands of Canadians from a single legal access point, leveraging an unparalleled production platform and unwavering commitment to service, variety and product safety.

Here’s to Future Growth.

POLITICS
Queensland Takes Lead as Australian Cannabis Stocks Soar

JOE WILSON
March 29, 2017

It was a big week for medical cannabis in Australia last week, with Queensland’s Labor government announcing that it will allow licensed cannabis growers in the state to sell cannabis seeds to other growers and manufacturers.

Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries Bill Byrne made the announcement on Friday afternoon, after changes were made to the state’s drug laws earlier in the week.
Australia’s move to legalize and regulate medical cannabis last year took many by surprise, and many local officials are still playing catch-up. But in Queensland, the state government has been championing the economic benefits of a robust cannabis industry. Allowing the sale of seeds is aimed at giving growers access to the nascent market allowing licensed growers a chance to fully realise the economic value of their cultivation rights.
“This creates new opportunities for Queenslanders,” said Byrne, the agriculture minister, adding that the policy should benefit industry players big and small.

RELATED STORY
What Will Australian Import Changes Mean for Local Cannabis Growers?
“The changes will be mutually beneficial for licensed industrial cannabis growers and those Queensland businesses interested in being part of the emerging medicinal cannabis industry in Australia,” he added.
Queensland Minister for Health Cameron Dick has also taken a leading role, negotiating a $6 million investment in medical cannabis research with GW Pharmaceuticals. And the state was the first to create and release medical guidance documents for doctors seeking to prescribe medical cannabis.
Queensland’s example suggests there’s a path that can both ensure access for patients and reap economic benefits.
The scheme currently permits the prescription of a limited range of pharmaceutical products only for certain conditions, such as drug-resistant epilepsy in children, multiple sclerosis, chemotherapy-induced nausea, and symptom control in palliative care. The guidance is based on scientific reviews, and keeps the medical profession up to date with the latest clinical trials.
Queensland is also pushing for the rest of Australia to get on board. In February, Health Minister Dick called on the federal government to add medical cannabis to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS)—meaning a federal government subsidy for medical cannabis. Such a move would make cannabis substantially more affordable for patients in need.
Although the federal government rejected the proposal, officials have taken other steps toward reform. Federal importation rules have been relaxed, and the market is responding with relentless optimism. Cannabis stocks in the Australian market have gone up by a staggering 130% this year on average, according to Bloomberg. By comparison, the S&P/ASX 200, an Australian Securities Exchange index, has gained less than 1%.

RELATED STORY
Australia Loosens Cannabis Import Rules to Speed Patient Access
Huge gains were made by cannabis growers such as AusCann (ASX:AC8), which was granted the first commercial licence to cultivate medical cannabis in Australia. And even peripheral businesses—from shovels and picks to hydroponics—are getting in on the boom. One such manufactuer, The Hydroponics Co., will go public on the ASX in April under the cheeky ticker symbol THC. The $8 million initial public offering is reportedly three times oversubscribed.
The booming cannabis industry is creating new economic incentives—and pressures—for state governments in Australia. Queensland’s example suggests there’s a path that can both ensure access for patients and reap economic benefits for the region. However, it also makes clear that local officials need to coordinate with the federal government to prevent a patchwork of regulations from hamstringing the young industry.
