8/23/2022<br />
<a href="https://www.ganjapreneur.com/new-security-technology-protects-cannabis-with-rodent-deer-and-human-detection/#authorbio" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Announcement</a><br />
Palo Alto, CA — <a href="http://www.camect.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Camect INC</a> fills the costly security gap for cannabis dispensary and grow facilities with an affordable AI-powered smart hub able to detect rodents, deer and humans with a less than 1% error rate.<br />
<br />
Until the S.A.F.E. Banking Act passes cash intensive dispensary owners are at rising risk for violent and costly burglaries from humans. According to <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/04/20/1093841615/pot-shop-robberies-are-fueling-calls-for-a-u-s-banking-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">NPR</a>, the wave of crime has escalated. Grow facilities face the double threat from both human crop theft and destruction from rodents and animals. One rodent can destroy thousands of dollars of valuable plants.<br />
Live guards burden owners with as much as &#36;50,000 a month in round-the-clock security. A solution that is not affordable to most. Video security cameras offer at best a reactive approach to crime detection. These cameras are designed to record, not detect. In a world with understaffed, overworked police officers these videos are not actually helpful. This can be a huge distraction with alerts going off every time a leaf, bug or weather triggers an alarm. NYT reports that 80% of DIY security system owners are annoyed by “false-alarms”.<br />
Camect uses AI-powered object detection. The nanosecond an object (rodent, deer, person, pick-up truck, delivery truck, etc.) is detected, an alert is deployed, if you want to know about it. The system will adapt to the user’s preferences, virtually eliminating false alarms. Camect affordable smart hub connects with almost every existing camera system. Most often no new equipment is needed.<br />
“Regulations require dispensary owners to pour large amounts of capital into their business and operate as cash-only enterprises. This puts product and cash at great risk with criminals targeting both. One of my new customers called me after he lost huge amounts of inventory and &#36;75,000 cash with one break-in. Camect is committed to helping business owners take a proactive approach and deter these crimes,” says Camect National Account Manager Brad Kenning who specializes in Cannabis Security.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">Nimble Distro Announced as Official Distributor of Magic Number’s Cannabis-Infused Beverages</span><br />
<br />
7/10/2023<br />
<br />
Announcement<br />
<br />
Portland, Oregon – July 10, 2023 – Nimble Distro, a leading wholesale distribution company in the Oregon cannabis industry, proudly announces its partnership with Magic Number, producer of Oregon’s #1 cannabis beverage. Nimble Distro has been selected as the distributor for Magic Number and will facilitate the sales and delivery of the manufacturer’s lines of all-natural, live resin-infused beverages and syrups.<br />
<br />
The humble origin story of Magic Number began in 2014 when two friends, Alex Berger and Dan Pilver, sought to brew Oregon’s first cannabis-infused Ginger Beer. By way of recycled equipment and relentless ingenuity, the pair tested dozens of recipes to develop the drink that would eventually propel their business from a small-scale garage brewery to the commercial facility they operate today.<br />
<br />
Through perseverance, innovation, and the belief in the healing powers of cannabis the team has refined their nano-emulsion technology and has experienced monumental growth. Expanded offerings include varying potencies and a wide selection of teas, sodas, seltzers and tinctures that quench thirst and stimulate minds. Their dedication to sustainability and commitment to sourcing all-natural ingredients from local growers and suppliers sets them apart as a brand that values quality and integrity.<br />
<br />
This Summer, Magic Number introduced the next game-changer in the industry: resealable cans.<br />
<br />
“This new XO resealable technology is poised to change the very culture of cannabis beverage consumption and expand the category. By turning the single-serving can into a multi-serving beverage, consumers will be able to dial in their Magic Number and create the ideal experience every time” says Jon Tapper, Sales &amp; Marketing Manager at Magic Number. “We have full confidence in Nimble’s capacity to amplify our reach and efficiently distribute our products to meet ever-increasing demand.”<br />
<br />
Nimble Distro, led by renowned entrepreneurs Joy Hudson and Marissa Rodriguez, is thrilled to join forces with Magic Number as their distributor. With a reputation for proficiency, profitability, and challenging the norm, Nimble brings a highly capable sales and logistics engine to the partnership.<br />
<br />
Utilizing their extensive sales and distribution experience, Hudson and Rodriguez co-founded Nimble with the intention of setting a new standard for efficiency and professionalism in the cannabis space. Alongside their flagship in-house pre-roll lines, KITES and Broomsticks, Nimble distributes dozens of other product lines for a range of farms and processors across Oregon.<br />
<br />
Magic Number and Nimble Distro are excited about the future of their partnership and the opportunities it presents to deliver exceptional cannabis-infused beverages to consumers throughout Oregon.<br />
<br />
“We are delighted to partner with Magic Number,” said Joy Hudson, Co-founder and CEO of Nimble Distro. “We’re both pioneers. Together we will continue to redefine the cannabis industry and set a new standard for excellence.”<br />

8/28/2023<br />
<a href="https://www.ganjapreneur.com/big-plan-holdings-partners-with-tennessee-based-evelyn-capital-in-strategic-acquisition-of-ascend-wellness-holdings-location-in-monaca-pennsylvania/#authorbio" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Announcement</a><br />
Nashville, Tennessee, August 23rd, 2023 – Big Plan Holdings (BPH), a diversified family holding company with cross-sector investments in cannabis, real estate, music, entertainment, professional sports, and hospitality, has announced a strategic partnership with Tennessee-based Evelyn Capital to acquire the 1.25 acre, Monaca, Pennsylvania ‘Ascend Wellness Holdings’ AWH – (CSE;AWWH.U;OTCQX;AAWF) vertically integrated medical cannabis retail operation.<br />
The acquisition expands upon the regional footprint and suite of services of Big Plan Holdings (BPH) in partnership with one of the nation’s leading multistate operators (‘MSOs’), publicly traded on the Canadian Stock Exchange.<br />
In commenting on the acquisition of the tenant retail building located in Monaca, Pennsylvania, totaling &#36;3.25 million, Josh Joseph, Co-Founder and CEO of Big Plan Holdings, stated that, “We are pleased to partner with fellow Tennessee-based and entrepreneurial real estate and investment firm, Evelyn Capital, in this exciting acquisition in Pennsylvania, further expanding our Northeast regional push and doing so with such an impactful brand as Ascend Wellness Holdings. AWH is tactically positioned to continue its dynamic trajectory in the cannabis space; a vertically-integrated operator with a footprint in seven of the most attractive states in the country for the industry. They are one of the stronger operators in the industry and BPH has long been a strong supporter of AWH and their management team.”<br />
Founded in 2018 and presently hosting assets in Illinois, Michigan, Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts, New Jersey and indeed Pennsylvania, Ascend Wellness Holdings owns and operates state of the art cultivation facilities, grows award-winning strains, and produces a curated selection of cannabis products.<br />
Taylor Preston, Principal at Evelyn Capital, added that, “We share the enthusiasm of our partners at Big Plan Holdings in the announcement of this strategic acquisition, executed with a significantly increased cap rate, in large part due to BPH’s longstanding relationship with Ascend Wellness Holdings, but one example of the conducive environments for growth which BPH creates for their partners.”<br />
The timing of this announcement is fortuitous; on Thursday, August 17th, 2023, five U.S. State Senators introduced Senate Bill 846, bipartisan legislation aiming to legalize the recreational use of cannabis for Pennsylvanians 21 years of age and older.<br />
Eric Russell, Chief Investment Officer (CIO) at Big Plan Holdings, added that, “We are pleased to bring our experience and resources at this timely juncture to Pennsylvania and on the sidelines of the liberalization of the state’s marketplace. With combined commercial real estate (CRE), development and transactions totaling &#36;2.5 billion from inception to present date, with transaction locations in upwards of 40+ states, our success lies in our vigilance and versatility – in seeking out mutually beneficial partnerships that allow for greater market penetration opportunities, service delivery, and sustainable business growth.”<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">About Big Plan Holdings</span><br />
Big Plan Holdings (BPH) is a Nashville, Tennessee-based family-office, directed by Josh, Tara, Sydni, and Sophie Joseph, with diversified investments in cannabis, real estate, music, entertainment, professional sports, fashion, and hospitality, among myriad strategic investments across the United States and internationally.<br />
BPH also hosts a philanthropic family foundation, The Joseph Family Foundation, with several different touch points of thematic, statewide, national, and global focus.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">Körber Offers Preroll Solutions to Help Cannabis Brands Increase Profit</span><br />
<br />
9/28/2023<br />
<br />
Announcement<br />
<br />
Pre-rolls have undeniably become one of the fastest-growing categories in the cannabis industry. Consumers seek convenience, and the era of worrying about low-quality cannabis in pre-rolls has faded into the past.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the introduction of cylindrical or cigarette-style pre-rolls (straight pre-rolls) has elevated an outstanding smoking experience, adding to the allure of this category.<br />
<br />
With rising sales figures in many states, the need to optimize production becomes paramount, especially in light of limited financial liquidity and workforce availability. The focus shifts towards profitability, cost reduction, increased product quality, and enhanced appeal.<br />
<br />
Let’s face it; achieving these goals requires departing from conical pre-rolls and slow-paced automated production. It’s time to draw inspiration from the tobacco and cigarette industry’s rod production methods.<br />
<br />
Efficiency and Precision in Cannabis Production<br />
In the 1950s, cigarettes came in various shapes, mostly lacking filters. Brands like Marlboro recognized the potential of filters, appealing to a broader consumer base. Standardizing the cylindrical shape introduced automation, significantly reducing production costs. Today, those early adopters dominate the global cigarette market, and Körber (formerly Hauni), the pioneer of filter cigarette making machines, stands as the undisputed number one machine supplier for this industry.<br />
<br />
The question arises: Can this approach thrive in the highly fragmented U.S. cannabis market, challenged by interstate shipments? The answer is affirmative, albeit on a smaller scale. Körber’s CANTOS cylindrical pre-roll efficiently produces 40,000 pre-rolls per 8-hour shift. Leveraging the cigarette shape, it seamlessly integrates with regular cigarette packers. As national legalization approaches, highly automated and efficient production hubs emerge, making it even more enticing for some to transition to the world’s fastest pre-roll maker, the Nano-H, producing over 1,000 pre-rolls per minute.<br />
<br />
Continuous Flow Production<br />
Cigarettes are produced in a continuous flow, rather than individually rolled. This principle allows production speeds of up to 20,000 cigarettes per minute while maintaining the highest possible quality. Körber’s pre-roll makers embrace this continuous production principle, with adjustments to handle sticky cannabis. Achieving production costs per pre-roll (including all non-cannabis materials) below &#36;0.02 becomes attainable.<br />

<br />
The Filter Plug: Customization and Trends<br />
Upon opening a classic cigarette box, consumers immediately notice the filter plug. Beyond potentially reducing harmful substances, filter plugs enhance pre-roll appearance and flavor. With over 80% of filters worldwide produced on Körber’s filtermaking machines, Körber collaborates with customers to develop innovative filters. These include the capsule filter, featuring a crushable flavor capsule (e.g., mint), and the multi-filter, combining segments like charcoal and acetate. The crimped paper filter plug, once popular in France, has made a comeback due to the demand for biodegradable materials. The crutch tip, commonly found in many pre-rolls, reflects the growing popularity of paper filters. The filter plugs are attached to the cannabis rod by a tipping paper. This tipping paper offers an excellent opportunity for product customization with various colors and logos.<br />

<br />
Material Preparation and Airflow Control<br />
Drawing from the tobacco industry’s experience, cannabis production benefits from techniques like resting and cooling to prepare materials for downstream processes. Blending, initially met with skepticism, can however standardizes cannabis characteristics, ensuring a consistent and enjoyable smoking experience, especially with psychoactive substances. With 75 years of expertise in tobacco preparation machinery, Körber applies this knowledge to refine the cannabis preparation process.<br />
<br />
Airflow control is a critical factor in mastering the smoking experience. Cigarette companies have perfected the ideal combination of product hardness and airflow to ensure a slow, enjoyable burn. The continuous cigarette production principle, coupled with meticulous filler preparation, enables cannabis companies to achieve similar metrics. Perforated tipping paper or online perforation enhances airflow and can be used in case a lighter taste wants to be achieved.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">Körber Offers Preroll Solutions to Help Cannabis Brands Increase Profit</span><br />
<br />
9/28/2023<br />
<br />
Announcement<br />
<br />
Pre-rolls have undeniably become one of the fastest-growing categories in the cannabis industry. Consumers seek convenience, and the era of worrying about low-quality cannabis in pre-rolls has faded into the past.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the introduction of cylindrical or cigarette-style pre-rolls (straight pre-rolls) has elevated an outstanding smoking experience, adding to the allure of this category.<br />
<br />
With rising sales figures in many states, the need to optimize production becomes paramount, especially in light of limited financial liquidity and workforce availability. The focus shifts towards profitability, cost reduction, increased product quality, and enhanced appeal.<br />
<br />
Let’s face it; achieving these goals requires departing from conical pre-rolls and slow-paced automated production. It’s time to draw inspiration from the tobacco and cigarette industry’s rod production methods.<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Healer CBD Expands Its Wellness Offerings with Non-Impairing “Acidics” Gummies<br />
<br />
10/17/2023<br />
<br />
Announcement<br />
<br />
Brunswick, ME – October 6, 2023 – Healer CBD, a leading provider of hemp wellness oils, capsules and topicals nationwide, today announced it launched a new line of full-spectrum functional gummies made from hemp featuring three distinct formulations that contain beneficial acidic cannabinoids not present in most gummies currently available.<br />
<br />
Called Ease, Rest, and Vitality, Healer hemp gummies are rare because they contain the acidic cannabinoids CBDA and CBGA, which are known for their powerful pain relief, anti-inflammatory, immune-supporting, and neuroprotective properties. Recent studies show that cannabinoids in their original “unheated” acidic form have tremendous healing properties that act in tandem with and in contrast to their neutral counterparts.<br />
<br />
The gummies were developed by Dr. Dustin Sulak, an osteopathic physician recognized globally by his peers as a pioneer of cannabis clinical applications, formulations, and dosage protocols. A leading expert on the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids, he is the author of the first foundational text on the clinical use of cannabinoid therapies, titled Handbook of Cannabis for Clinicians: Principles and Practice. <br />
<br />
Each  functional “acidic” gummy contains unique, consistent ratios of full-spectrum CBDA and CBGA along with their neutral (and better-known) counterparts CBD and CBG, plus other beneficial acidic and neutral minor cannabinoids extracted from specially selected organic hemp strains grown in Maine. Specifically:<br />
<br />
    Ease lemon gummies (1:1 CBD:CBDA) are formulated to help people manage stress, worry and aches.<br />
    Rest blueberry gummies (6:1 CBG:CBGA) are formulated to help people relax, fall asleep more easily, calm “fight or flight” feelings, and target nerve discomfort.<br />
    Vitality tangerine gummies (1:1 CBDA:CBGA) are formulated to support the immune system, reduce aches and discomforts, and increase energy levels.<br />
<br />
To maximize wellness, Healer gummies are non-impairing, vegan, gluten free and made with organic ingredients and all natural, plant-based flavorings and colorings. Each serving contains less than 3 grams of sugar and no corn syrup. These gummies contain 10 mg of cannabinoids and less than 0.3% THC in accordance with federal law.<br />
<br />
To ensure consistency and consumer safety, every batch is third-party lab tested. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying the product’s contents and the absence of heavy metals, pesticides, solvents and other biocontaminants is prominently available via QR code on the label. A companion Usage Guide &amp; Response Tracker booklet accompanies each product.<br />
<br />
“We devoted a lot of time and effort over the past year to ensure the taste and effects meet the standard of excellence that our customers depend on to improve their overall health and well-being,” said Bradley Feuer, Healer CBD co-founder and CEO. “The initial response through consumer testing has been tremendous in regards to the taste, effects and the quicker onset compared to other edibles.”<br />
<br />
It appears these gummies are a game-changer for people who want the health benefits of cannabinoids without impairment, but prefer delicious gummies to conventional oil drops or capsules, he said.<br />
<br />
Healer CBD Ease, Rest, and Vitality gummies are available now at HealerCBD.com and a growing number of retail outlets.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">BudTrainer™ Launches the BudCups™: The Earth-Friendly, Root-Friendly Alternative to Single-Use Seedling Pots and Cups</span><br />
<br />
11/28/2023<br />
<br />
Announcement<br />
<br />
In another move towards sustainable gardening, BudTrainer just announced the launch of their 4th product, the BudCups: a reusable, better-performing alternative to single-use seed starting cups and pots. Engineered to optimize root development, the BudCups are a patent-pending invention set to redefine the standards of not just planting and transplanting, but environmentally responsible gardening.<br />
<br />
First, they’re dishwasher-friendly, made from 100% recycled and food-grade plastic, and designed to be reused indefinitely, making them the most earth-friendly choice for gardeners committed to reducing waste. They were also designed without a single corner where pathogens can live, turning the washing process into a breeze.<br />
<br />
Secondly, the BudCups feature a unique Triple-Drainage system that optimizes for runoff flow, promoting the best drybacks, ensuring optimal root health and growth, and preventing root rot or other pathogenic diseases.<br />
<br />
The best part? The BudCups’ Shock-Free Transplanting mechanism was designed not only to minimize transplant shock to the roots, but also to make it easy and clean to transplant. Just pop the bottom, and the entire root ball comes out, untouched.<br />
<br />
Henrique Dias, the innovative founder of BudTrainer, states, “Our vision with BudCups™ goes beyond just creating a better gardening container. We’re introducing a sustainable practice in home gardening, merging the love we have for the plant with the care we have for the planet.”<br />
<br />
About BudTrainer™<br />
BudTrainer™ is an innovative designer of cannabis gardening products and a community leader in the cannabis space. Renowned for its high-quality, earth-conscious, and user-friendly products, BudTrainer empowers home growers to achieve superior results in their gardens.<br />

Company Launches HempMD Products and Nutraceutical Brand ATRx with a new Functional Mushroom Product to Expand Growth Opportunities and Markets<br />
<br />
December 22, 2023 4:06 PM EST | Source: <a href="https://www.newsfilecorp.com/company/8580/cbdMD" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">cbdMD</a><br />
Charlotte, North Carolina--(Newsfile Corp. - December 22, 2023) - cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD) (NYSE American: YCBD-PA), one of the nation's leading and most highly trusted and recognized CBD companies, and operator of the leading CBD brands – its flagship brand <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">cbdMD</span>, its animal health brand <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Paw CBD,</span> today announced our quarterly and full fiscal financial results for September 30, 2023.<br />
For Fiscal 2023, we continued to make strong progress on our turnaround, incurring a loss from operations of &#36;22.4 million. This included one-time intangible impairment charges of &#36;13.2 million as required under GAAP due to the decrease of the trading price of our common stock during the quarter (which we believe was in part due to the market reaction to our failed shareholder proposal to convert our outstanding preferred stock and suspension of our monthly cash dividend payment on our preferred stock). Excluding one-time Intangible Impairment Charges, we continue to make significant year-over-year improvements to our operating loss. While our quarterly operating income over the past two years has varied as a result of goodwill and intangible impairment, we have continued to reduce non-GAAP Net Adjusted Operating losses.<br />
"We made significant strides this year on our path to positive cash flow, especially during the second half of the year. We have exhibited operational excellence while we turned over our marketing department, re-platformed our e-commerce system and rationalized expenses across the board. We knew it was going to be a challenging year while we reset the business and are proud of the way our team executed on the challenge," says Ronan Kennedy, cbdMD's Interim CEO &amp; CFO.<br />
"Despite barriers at retail due to our category, we continued to invest in developing new strategic relationships for the cbdMD brand and are excited to announce that cbdMD launched into 160 Sprouts Markets stores across the nation this month. We remain focused on new revenues in early calendar 2024 and are cautiously optimistic about building inertia during 2024," continued Mr. Kennedy.<br />
"While we continue to have a robust pipeline of new and improved CBD products, we have focused on launching 2 new brands, hempMD and ATRx, to provide expanded opportunities for growth despite the impediments to CBD channel growth caused by the current regulatory landscape. hempMD is a collection of curated hemp products primarily designed for sale on Amazon. The <a href="https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/nV777hD5qR" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">ATRx</a> brand is designed to provide functional, non-cannabinoid health and wellness solutions to our customers, with an initial focus on the emerging functional mushroom market. We are excited to announce the launch of the <a href="https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/K8333FWPGj" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Ultimate Mushroom Daily Gummy</a>, our first ATRx product. The Ultimate Mushroom Daily Gummy's proprietary blend has ingredients which were carefully selected to enhance focus and memory, support gut health, reduce inflammation and boost immunity which pairs well with our core cbdMD products as part of an every-day routine. We are already in discussions about expanding the ATRx line in multiple brick and mortar retailers. Both of these new brands provide opportunities for us to expand beyond current distribution and marketing channels furthering, efforts to reach new customers.<br />
2024 will be a pivotal year for the Company. Re-growing sales and addressing our equity capital structure remain our highest priorities. We believe work completed on the business and brands since June has improved the outlook for the Company, creating exciting new growth opportunities going into calendar 2024," concluded Mr. Kennedy.<br />

Forward-Looking Statements<br />
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements can be identified using words such as ''should,'' ''may,'' ''intends,'' ''anticipates,'' ''believes,'' ''estimates,'' ''projects,'' ''forecasts,'' ''expects,'' ''plans,'' and ''proposes.'' These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict. You are urged to carefully review and consider any cautionary statements, including but not limited to expectations on our ability to continue as a going concern, increasing our revenues, cost reductions, potential need for additional working capital, future profitability, development and sales of new products, and other disclosures, including the statements made under the heading "Risk Factors" in cbdMD, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 22, 2023 and our other filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, many of which are generally outside the control of cbdMD, Inc. and are difficult to predict. cbdMD, Inc. does not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements except as may be required by law.

<span style="font-size: 1pt;" class="mycode_size">1 THC-free is defined as below the level of detection using validated scientific analytical methods.</span><br />
Non-GAAP Financial Measures<br />
This press release includes a financial measure that excludes the impact of certain items and therefore has not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). cbdMD, Inc. has included adjusted loss from operations because management uses this measure to assess operating performance in order to highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The adjusted operating loss has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss from operations as an indicator of our operating performance. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure, as presented by cbdMD, Inc., may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. cbdMD, Inc. has attached to this press release a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.<br />

(NYSE American: YCBD) (NYSE American: YCBD-PA), one of the nation's leading and most highly trusted and recognized CBD companies, and operator of the leading CBD brands – its flagship brand <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">cbdMD</span>, its animal health brand <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Paw CBD,</span> today announced our quarterly and full fiscal financial results for September 30, 2023.<br />
For Fiscal 2023, we continued to make strong progress on our turnaround, incurring a loss from operations of &#36;22.4 million. This included one-time intangible impairment charges of &#36;13.2 million as required under GAAP due to the decrease of the trading price of our common stock during the quarter (which we believe was in part due to the market reaction to our failed shareholder proposal to convert our outstanding preferred stock and suspension of our monthly cash dividend payment on our preferred stock). Excluding one-time Intangible Impairment Charges, we continue to make significant year-over-year improvements to our operating loss. While our quarterly operating income over the past two years has varied as a result of goodwill and intangible impairment, we have continued to reduce non-GAAP Net Adjusted Operating losses.<br />
"We made significant strides this year on our path to positive cash flow, especially during the second half of the year. We have exhibited operational excellence while we turned over our marketing department, re-platformed our e-commerce system and rationalized expenses across the board. We knew it was going to be a challenging year while we reset the business and are proud of the way our team executed on the challenge," says Ronan Kennedy, cbdMD's Interim CEO &amp; CFO.<br />
"Despite barriers at retail due to our category, we continued to invest in developing new strategic relationships for the cbdMD brand and are excited to announce that cbdMD launched into 160 Sprouts Markets stores across the nation this month. We remain focused on new revenues in early calendar 2024 and are cautiously optimistic about building inertia during 2024," continued Mr. Kennedy.<br />
"While we continue to have a robust pipeline of new and improved CBD products, we have focused on launching 2 new brands, hempMD and ATRx, to provide expanded opportunities for growth despite the impediments to CBD channel growth caused by the current regulatory landscape. hempMD is a collection of curated hemp products primarily designed for sale on Amazon. The <a href="https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/nV777hD5qR" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">ATRx</a> brand is designed to provide functional, non-cannabinoid health and wellness solutions to our customers, with an initial focus on the emerging functional mushroom market. We are excited to announce the launch of the <a href="https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/K8333FWPGj" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Ultimate Mushroom Daily Gummy</a>, our first ATRx product. The Ultimate Mushroom Daily Gummy's proprietary blend has ingredients which were carefully selected to enhance focus and memory, support gut health, reduce inflammation and boost immunity which pairs well with our core cbdMD products as part of an every-day routine. We are already in discussions about expanding the ATRx line in multiple brick and mortar retailers. Both of these new brands provide opportunities for us to expand beyond current distribution and marketing channels furthering, efforts to reach new customers.<br />
2024 will be a pivotal year for the Company. Re-growing sales and addressing our equity capital structure remain our highest priorities. We believe work completed on the business and brands since June has improved the outlook for the Company, creating exciting new growth opportunities going into calendar 2024," concluded Mr. Kennedy.<br />

Denver, Colorado--(Newsfile Corp. - December 28, 2023) - CBD of Denver, Inc. (OTC Pink: CBDD), reports a strong fourth quarter, with revenues reaching approximately &#36;1,310,000 with a split of approximately &#36;1,134,000 for Luxora and approximately &#36;176,000 for Libra 9.<br />
"Despite a challenging economic environment, the increase in revenue confirms that our strategies are driving growth across both verticals. With a current order backlog of approximately &#36;150,000 for the Anti-Slip product line, we are confidently entering the new year," says Axel Reinke, CEO of CBD of Denver. In early January 2024, CBDD's management team will meet in Berlin to initiate the expansion of the Anti-Slip division. This will involve onboarding new installation and sales teams and beginning the rollout of Anti-Slip solutions in additional German metropolitan areas.<br />
The company attributes its growth to several factors.<br />
"The partnership between EDEKA and the Magic Lappen product is driving sales across various regions in Germany. Additionally, the Libra 9 team's consistent presence at numerous trade shows is enhancing brand recognition and fostering new partnerships. These partnerships range from wine dealers to specialized car cleaning and detailing companies, and include a teleshopping partnership," states Mr. Reinke.<br />
The Anti-Slip division is seeing increased demand due to a novel door cut-out method that converts existing bathtubs into barrier-free walk-in showers. "With the introduction of this new installation method and favorable regulatory changes, we can expand the Anti-Slip product line to a broader customer base. Beginning in January, we will launch new initiatives to fully capitalize on the significant potential we see in this vertical," Mr. Reinke emphasizes.<br />
Luxora's ongoing efforts in the European CBD wholesale market are significantly contributing to growth. "Despite continued market challenges and consolidation in the CBD industry, there is a strong interest in our products. Our partnerships in North and South America are crucial in maintaining our competitive edge and expanding our client network as we explore new markets," remarks Jan Schwager, CEO of Luxora.<br />
HolistiCH GmbH, known for its exclusive THC and CBD dominant strains, is expanding its footprint. The company has formed new partnerships in Austria, strengthening its position as a leading provider of cannabis clones in Europe.<br />
Luxora Solutions is poised to enter the German market, pending the final approval of relevant legislation by the German government. "Several members of the Social Democratic Party have publicly announced that the budget crisis within the German government has postponed the second and third readings of the new Cannabis law until next year. Despite this, we remain optimistic about adhering to our timeline and launching Luxora Solutions in Germany as scheduled," explains Philipp Ferrer, Chief Compliance Officer at Luxora.<br />
The company has hired a new accounting specialist, proficient in both US and European accounting and reporting principles, who has already started preparing the next filings to avoid previous delays. Our goal moving forward is to close each month's accounts by the 10th of the following month and to implement a group-wide reporting system, enabling management to adopt a more data-driven review process that will improve the planning process which will ultimately drive the execution of the developed plan.<br />

WASHINGTON — <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">President Joe Biden</a> issued <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/12/22/a-proclamation-on-granting-pardon-for-the-offense-of-simple-possession-of-marijuana-attempted-simple-possession-of-marijuana-or-use-of-marijuana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">a proclamation to pardon</a> certain marijuana offenses Friday, building on <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/biden-pardon-prior-federal-offenses-simple-marijuana-possession-rcna51088" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">broader action</a> he took last year for thousands of people convicted of possession under federal law.<br />
The new pardons target "additional offenses of simple possession and use of marijuana under federal and D.C. law," Biden said in a statement. The proclamation includes offenses related to "use and possession on certain Federal lands," provisions that weren't covered by the 2022 proclamation.<br />
"Criminal records for marijuana use and possession have imposed needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities," Biden said in the statement. "Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana. It’s time that we right these wrongs."<br />
 <br />
He also called on governors to take similar actions with state marijuana-related offenses, arguing that no one should be in jail or prison "solely due to the use or possession of marijuana."<br />
It was not immediately clear how many people would be affected by the new pardons.<br />
The Department of Health and Human Services recommended in August that the <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/us-health-agency-recommends-easing-federal-marijuana-restrictions-rcna102642" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Drug Enforcement Administration</a> ease marijuana restrictions by moving it to a Schedule III drug, which would be a significant change to federal drug policy. The DEA still classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, alongside drugs such as heroin and LSD. Most states allow marijuana use in some form, such as recreationally or for medical purposes.<br />

"Due to reforms, each of these clemency recipients would have been eligible for reduced sentences, had they been sentenced today," a White House official said in an email. "This clemency grant represents the President’s commitment to addressing unjustified disparities in sentencing."<br />
Biden has granted clemency several times since he took office, most recently in April to 31 people convicted of drug-related offenses.<br />
During his 2020 campaign, Biden called for the automatic expungement of cannabis use convictions]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Weedmaps Data Finds ‘Green Wednesday’ Cannabis Sales Outpace Black Friday Sales</span><br />
<br />
Wed / Nov 29th  by TG Branfalt<br />
<br />
Data from the cannabis tech company Weedmaps found that retail cannabis sales on the day before Thanksgiving — dubbed “Green Wednesday” by the industry — surpassed average cannabis sales on Black Friday.<br />
<br />
Cannabis sales on the day before Thanksgiving surpassed sales on Black Friday, accounting for 21% of the weekly gross market value over the holiday week, according to order data from Weedmaps. The day before Thanksgiving has been dubbed “Green Wednesday” due to historically strong cannabis sales.<br />
<br />
Weedmaps saw 42% growth in total order volume on Green Wednesday and the average basket value that day was 103% higher than the average Wednesday during the month of November; however, the day’s gross market value was down 4% compared to Green Wednesday 2022.  <br />
<br />
Orders for edibles increased most significantly on Green Wednesday, according to Weedmaps data, up 81%. Edibles also held six of the top 10 products sold on Green Wednesday – last year the category held five of the top 10. Vape pen orders also increased by 52% and flower increased by 48% over the average Wednesday in November, according to Weedmaps data.  <br />
<br />
So far this year, edible products hold seven of the top 10 selling products, while vape and flower products each hold two spots, according to Weedmaps data, which notes that while flower is still the most purchased product category overall, the firm reports an 18.5% year-over-year increase for edible products compared to a 9.37% increase in flower.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">Author Al Byrne’s New Book, "For Country and Cannabis," is a One-of-a-Kind Memoir That Shares the Author’s Experiences as an Advocate for Therapeutic Cannabis</span><br />
<br />
Carrabelle, FL, September 22, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Al Byrne, a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, has completed his new book, “For Country and Cannabis”: a five-decade-long history that teaches readers about government lies, malfeasance, and injustice to groups of U.S. citizens and individuals who wanted the option of using therapeutic cannabis as part of their treatment protocols.<br />
<br />
Author Al Byrne earned a BA in economics from the University of Notre Dame and was the starting wing on the ND Rugby team for three years. Completing the four-year Navy ROTC program, he was commissioned and served on a destroyer, USS “Gyatt, DD-712”; as a navy adviser in Vietnam; at various U.S. naval installations; and as a navy Seabee before retiring with twenty-four years of service.<br />
<br />
A lifelong cannabis advocate, he was the co-director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws for several years and the national secretary from 1989 to 1992. Al co-founded Patients Out of Time Inc., a 501&copy;(3) educational charity, in 1995 to teach the US medical and nursing community about the therapeutic uses of cannabis—in accredited settings. He co-produced the award-winning video documentary “Marijuana as Medicine” in 1997. Al was instrumental in the founding of “The Medical Cannabis Institute,” an online accredited cannabis education syllabus designed for registered nurses and medical doctors. Al is a US representative for patient advocacy for the Europe-based International Academy of Cannabis Medicine.<br />
<br />
In 2007, Al cofounded Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access, a national all-volunteer Veteran service organization responsible for negotiating the first positive Veterans Health Administration medical cannabis policy in 2010. VMCA has since won legal status for cannabis treatment for PTS(d) in numerous US states and territories.<br />
<br />
Al has co-hosted VMCA’s “Veterans’ Voices” for over seven years, now as a podcast on YouTube and Facebook. He lives in northwest Florida with golden retrievers and is a member of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Disabled American Veterans.<br />
<br />
Al writes, “Cancer kills by causing so much pain, weakness, and physiological disorder to the affected system that the very act of eating can become revolting to impossible. If you add to this nightmare the deliberate poisoning of the cancer patient, a procedure called chemotherapy, the resulting reaction of the human body can, and often is, total incapacitation. All of us have had some experience with vomiting. Think of the worst nausea you have ever experienced, a seasickness so debilitating you swear you would rather be dead, dry heaves on and on like with the alcohol poisoning the morning after a drunk night. For my dad, a cancer patient, the waves of dizziness and pain burned his guts not just for an hour or a day but many days or a week straight.”<br />
<br />
Published by Page Publishing, Al Byrne’s intriguing tale is a love story that offers a glimpse into the rigors of a navy career and a look at a legal, social, and financial war waged over an herb.<br />
<br />
Readers who wish to experience this remarkable work can purchase “For Country and Cannabis” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.<br />
