cannabis company, specializing in the extraction and


conversion of cannabinoids. CLS stands for Cannabis Life
Sciences, as it maintains a proprietary method of extracting
various cannabinoids from the marijuana plant and
converting them into higher quality and quantity. Several

concentrates such as oils, waxes, edibles and shatter.
These concentrates may be ingested in a number of ways,
including through vaporization via electronic cigarettes and
used for a variety of pharmaceutical and other purposes.
He has also created various delivery systems and materials
to ready the converted cannabis product for different uses
by different potential distributors. Mr. Keller contributed
this intellectual property to CLS in exchange for stock in CLS.
The proprietary process is patent pending, with a patent
application having been filed.

The leader in cannabis business


intelligence and market share tracking

Concentrates lead first-quarter cannabis growth in Colorado, Washington


All major cannabis categories in Colorado and Washington state continued to grow in the first part of 2016,
with concentrates providing the biggest boost to the industry overall. In the first quarter, according to Boulder,
CO-based BDS Analytics GreenEdge point-of-sale data tracking, Colorado dispensaries reached $270 million
in retail sales, a 30% increase over Q1 2015. And in the first two months of the year, Washingtons adult-use
dispensaries rocketed ahead with 175% growth to $81 million (detailed March data for Washington will be
available at the end of May). Washingtons market got off to a slower start than Colorados so the growth looks
huge even if the actual numbers are smaller.
In both states, concentrates led the growth with a 120% increase in Colorado and a whopping 378% rise in
Washington. Consumers are clearly responding to this more discreet and purportedly healthier consumption
method. Combining Washingtons January-February sales with Colorados first quarter, the two states sold
869,000 grams of concentrates last year and nearly 2.5 million this year. At the same time, average selling price
dropped significantly as the increased demand helped manufacturers produce more and spend less per unit
to do so.
With flowers growth significantly smaller than concentrates, especially in Colorado where gram sales rose just
8% in the first quarter of 2016, the green buds share of total cannabis sales is steadily declining. That figure
fell from 71% of all cannabis sales in Colorado in Q1 2015 to 61% in 2016, and from 75% to 65% in Washington,
with most of that share flowing to concentrates in both states. There was one caveat in Washington, however:
Pre-rolled joints gained 5 points of share, rising to 7.5%.

MassRoots (MSRT)
Denied Listing on
the Nasdaq
Exchange
By Derwin Wallace

CANNAINVESTOR Magazine
CANNAINVESTOR Webcast

We wont waste time getting into the details,


however the Nasdaq has denied MassRoots
Inc.s (MSRT) application to list its shares on the
Nasdaq Exchange. Nasdaq officials noted that
although the consumption of marijuana is legal
in some form in 24 states and the District of Columbia, the use, sale and cultivation of cannabis
remains a federal crime.

investors understand bio-techs and their ability


to produce tremendous capital gains. Additionally, institutional investors may feel cannabis
bio-techs are less impacted by state and federal
legislation versus other cannabis subsectors. An
example of this is the University of Mississippi
who has a contract with the federal government
to grow cannabis, and Nemus Bioscience, Inc.
(NMUS) who has a contract with the UniversiThe Nasdaqs reason for denial can be quite ty of Mississippi to conduct cannabis R&D and
confusing and contradictory, considering GW clinical trials.
Pharmaceuticals plc (GWPH), INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (INSY), Cara Therapeutics Inc. (CARA), NMUS is a cannabis bio-tech company trading
Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ARNA), and Zy- over-the-counter (OTC), who has raised approxnerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ZYNE) are all imately $5M - $7M from institutional investors
cannabis companies trading on the Nasdaq Ex- in 2015. NMUS is one of a few cannabis comchange. However, I must note that all the above panies trading OTC, who have attracted institucompanies are considered cannabis bio-tech tional investors.
companies, which leads me to believe that institutional investors have a high risk tolerance for What does all this mean for cannabis stocks?
cannabis bio-tech and less of a risk tolerance for Majority of cannabis stocks trade OTC, which
other cannabis subsectors. Maybe institutional subjects these companies to less stringent reg19

ulations than trading on the major exchanges (e.g. Nasdaq and NYSE). Institutional investors try to minimize
risk as much as possible; and investing in companies
that have strict listing requirements minimizes investor
risk. In other words, OTC companies have trouble gaining credibility with institutional investors. Without institutional investors buying an OTC stock there is minimal
shares traded and wide spreads in bid and ask prices
(what you can buy and sell a stock for). For beginner investors, this means that if you buy a stock and turn right
around and sell the same stock, you can lose a significant amount of your investment within seconds or it
can take a long period of time to get back to breakeven.
In short, OTC companies attract day-traders and toxic
investors who care nothing about the companies they
invest in but only care about buying a stock and selling
the same stock as soon as possible to make a profit,
which results in increased volatility (stock price rapidly
increasing and decreasing) with no sustainable increase
in stock price.
Due to these recent developments, we are justified in
including cannabis bio-techs at the top of our CANNAINVESTOR Magazine Top 20 Stock Picks. In addition, we feel as the states and federal government
legalize cannabis, they will also implement strict cannabis testing guidelines and regulations.
Lets be honest, the state and federal governments
first responsibility is the safety of its citizens. Therefore, we are including DigiPath, Inc. (DIGP) and Pazoo,
Inc. (PZOO) in our CANNAINVESTOR Magazine Top
20 Stock Picks. MassRoots Inc. (MSRT) will drop off
the CANNAINVESTOR Magazine Top 20 Stock Picks
and will be added to our Stocks To Watch list.
In summary, we are aggressively bullish in the shortterm for cannabis bio-tech and testing labs and moderately bullish long-term for all other cannabis subsectors.

Research
One World Cannabis: Research Division for Cannabis
Headquartered in Israel, the birthplace of modern medical cannabis research, the Research Division leverages the Companys extensive network comprising some of Israels leading researchers, scientists, universities and hospitals, as well as cannabis breeders and extractors, to
study and test the effectiveness of different combinations of cannabinoids in the treatment of disease and chronic conditions.

(post-traumatic stress disorder).
To date, One World Cannabis completed two of three new innovative
delivery systems of active cannabinoids, with its own formulas. The new
delivery systems will be safe to use with controlled dosage and long
lasting quality. The delivery systems will be clinically tested through
OWCs studies.
To date, One World Cannabis has signed three research collaboration
agreements with the biggest academic hospital in Israel, which is also
the largest hospital in the Middle East. Within the framework of these
agreements, the company will initiate pre-clinical and clinical studies
to explore the effect of several combinations of cannabidiol (CBD) and
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on multiple myeloma (a cancer of plasma
cells), psoriasis and fibromyalgia.
One World Cannabis will continue to collaborate with other industry

given product or formulation. In all cases, the Company will retain the intellectual property rights to proprietary discoveries made in conjunction with its initiatives and seek to secure patent protections.
One World Cannabis filed eight provisional patent applications all related to its line of activity (pharmaceutical formulations; drug delivery; therapeutic uses of cannabinoids and other cannabis compounds), as
well as know-how and trade secrets.
The Company plans to continue to seek patent protection in the United States and other countries for our
proprietary technologies.

Cannabis offers medical cannabis regulatory compliance services and patient-care consultancy services.

consultancy services and will generate more for two years per state and licensing fees from local manufacturing of its products.
One World Cannabis has the experienced and knowledgeable team needed to develop and implement
a comprehensive medical cannabis program. The company offers policy makers a turnkey project and
plans to work with clients to address all matters related to the medical cannabis program: from drafting

THINGS ALL INVESTORS SHOULD


LOOK FOR WHEN
REVIEWING A CANNABIS COMPANY
By; Nic Easley
need to understand in order to effectively collaborate on projects. In
this article, well consider five key areas to examine when considering whether to invest or pass.

hile investing in the


emerging cannabis industry offers huge potential and payoff,
its unclear if these opportunities will be a big boom or a bust.
Right now we are seeing trends
similar to the rapid growth of
the tech industry that occurred
in Silicon Valley, and many lessons can be learned from previous booms, bubbles, and busts
when investing in this industry. Those who understand the
cannabis industry have quickly
realized there is specific background information investors

CANNAINVESTOR Magazine

Before examining these five items, there is a dynamic character found in this industry that is imperative to understand. This is
the fact that while 24 states hold medical laws and four states allow
adult use (in addition to the District of Columbia), there are many
unique regulations, ordinances and governing structures specific to
each location, in addition to certain federal guidelines that must be
followed in order to create compliant cannabis companies.
When weighing your options as an investor, first you have to ask
yourself what sector of cannabis you are considering. Are you interested in the hands-on side of cultivation, extraction, and retail, or
do you want to get into ancillary service industries or ancillary product manufacturing? All aspects involve varying levels of risk that rest
mainly on IRC 280E and shifting local, state, and federal guidelines.
Once you have determined which part of the industry youre most
comfortable with and understand local and state frameworks, you
can make informed decisions on where to legally place investments.
The next logical step is to focus on available opportunities and what
to specifically look at when analyzing these opportunities. We will
discuss this in further depth below.

Is it legal in that loca- Competitive Advantion?


tage and Scalability
The most important thing an investor could look at before getting
too deep into any investment or
conversation is to understand the
legal framework. This should not
be overlooked. By studying the
rules and framework for what can
and cannot be done in each state
and local municipality, youll save
yourself a lot of time and avoid
investing in a company that while
seemingly promising, is possibly
operating illegally. For example,
investing into a 10-acre cannabis
cultivation facility in California, at
this point, would be ill-advised, as
there are canopy size and plant
count restrictions currently in
place, with more regulations coming down the pipeline from pending initiatives.
As with any investment (even
more so in the cannabis space),
knowing the local political climate
and keeping a keen eye on the
future is invaluable. In-depth due
diligence in order to understand
regulations that are still in progress, but not yet ratified, is invaluable. Seeking out expert advice
from cannabis attorneys, like Hoban & Feola Law or due diligence
firms such as Gotham Cannabis Associates, that have specific
knowledge about what can and
cannot be done in certain geographic areas is imperative. By
addressing these legal issues first
and foremost, you can avoid an
investment in a project that will
inevitably fail due to legal issues.

The second important issue in


assessing an investment opportunity is the competitive advantage and/or unique intellectual
property in comparison to competitive projects. Assessing the
scalability, market lead, and first
mover advantage of a particular investment, needs to be supported by definitive evidence that
the particular market where the
products or services are being
offered is large enough to accommodate the true growth potential. For example, Speed Weed, a
delivery service in California that
operates in the Los Angeles area,
recently announced a $10 million
investment. By looking closely at
the Los Angeles regulations, you
will find that cannabis delivery in
Los Angeles is illegal. However,
knowing this, the company kept
operating and even secured an
investment. They now have to
shut down operations in the Los
Angeles area by June 6th per the
Los Angeles city attorney.

It is important to ask if the intellectual property can realistically


be protected via a patent application. All proprietary features
and competitive advantages of
the product or service should be
clearly outlined in any of the investment presentations prior to
making an investment. Take time
to review everything from patent
filings, exclusive licenses, distribution relationships, other intellectual property, and the ability to
copyright or trademark elements
of the target company. If a team
has IP and has not taken the time
to protect it, how could they possibly plan on protecting your investment?

Qualify the team


The third issue centers on qualifying the team that will take your
investment into this rapidly shifting industry.

Does the team have background and experience directly working within the Cannabis industry or are they just
starting out?

If they are new to the industry,


are they are utilizing industry
experts to help guide them?
How do they source information?

What makes the team believe


that they can offer a service or
product that truly makes them
differentiated and important
to the industry?

Investors need to look at the


direct experience of the entrepreneurs and management
teams. As the cannabis industry is so new, very few wellversed, experienced teams
exist.

Question the presenting partners if they understand all of


the legal parameters in which
they must operate in order to
legally perform their business.

Perform background checks


on management so you know
with whom you are partnering

Fully evaluate the teams history


and prior ventures, their business
experience, education, and passion to use your investment wisely. This will help the odds of creating a profitable company that
will ensure that the investor gets
a strong ROI.

Market Sizing
Analysis

and

Attempting to come up with a


cookie-cutter model that can be
inserted anywhere around the
country simply does not work
based on the overwhelming diversity in cannabis law. A smart,
direct, hands-on cannabis company operating in a state will follow
specific guidelines of that state
and thus cater their business processes to that particular market.
Other business models deal with
the same problems and would
have to adapt to specific state and
county laws, and this is common
practice in agriculture and manufacturing businesses. General
best practices can be established
that are emulated and matched
to a particular market. The cannabis industry is just getting to this
level of maturity and is showing
promise in developing models
that can be adapted to a greater
range of markets.
Wise investors will look for
opportunities in emerging state
markets that show a high potential of acting harmoniously within
the states market models. New
or experienced investors in the
cannabis industry need to look
for companies that can grow
quickly and have the ability to
manage modular high-growth
markets. When investing in an
established company, analyze
revenue and cash flow to ensure
that there is enough capital for
expansion.
As weve seen already above, the
cannabis industry is regulated by

CANNAINVESTOR Magazine

the states in which the businesses operate. When it comes to


marketing, there are very specific cannabis industry rules that
must be followed when it comes
to either licensing, branding, IP,
or franchising. Companies must
know the barriers to entry for
investors and license holders,
the qualifying medical conditions
for patients in the state in order
to get medical cards, and medical cannabis companies understanding patient needs as well as
potential clients in order for the
business to know that they have
a large enough market to sell to
is of utmost importance. Often,
operations that spread around
the country do not consider key
facts about the market that they
are entering and establish themselves too early in markets that
will not produce significant sales
for years.

stimulate growth and generate


revenues as well as prove their
capabilities in handling present
and future financial obligations.
Once you apply your investment
criteria and understand your
investment goals, be sure that
the company can actually achieve
what you need.
The questions below should have
clear and concise answers.



What is the ROI of the investment?


What is your planned exit
strategy?
Is it worth the level of risk
with which you are comfortable?
What are the chances that
this will produce profits for either profit-sharing or become
a candidate for a merger or
acquisition?
Will this company actually
have a chance of effectively
going public?
Are they using models that
are established and tested
in other industries or is the
company just winging it
hoping for the best?

Whats the return of


an investment and the
exit strategy?
An investor also needs to review
the past financial performance
and future projections. Strategic
vetting can be accomplished by
analyzing P&L statements, examining capital allocation and
assessing their goals and strategies for scaling up an investors
capital to expand their business.
If the group has not outlined a
clear exit opportunity for the
investor or thought about where
the company will be in five
years, as an investor, run! The
team needs to show how that
by issuing equity or borrowing
money this capital will be used to

Some companies in the cannabis industry, try to go public too


early just to prove their legitimacy; rarely have these companies
emerged from being legitimized
by their actions. Other companies use sweeping generalizations through marketing and
branding efforts, versus having
their actions legitimized by what
they do. Pay particular attention
weighing what the company says
compared to their past or present accomplishments.

The first rule of investing: dont lose money. The second rule of investing: refer to rule one.
Any early stage company involves some level of risk. The level of risk associated with direct hands on cannabis companies is inherently higher than companies that do not directly grow, process, sell or test the
product. The distinction is purely based on what constitutes a direct violation of federal law.
The Cannabis industry is a minefield riddled with unprepared and inexperienced entrepreneurs seeking
capital to offer their goods and services. Trust that gut feeling if that the investment doesnt feel right,
doesnt match the level of risk that youre comfortable with, or you suspect something about the team and
their history: walk away. The number of opportunities in the cannabis industry are countless at this point.

INVESTING IN THE
CANNABIS
INDUSTRY
From a Retail Investors Perspective
By Louis Kyron
In 2014, a newspaper inked investing in marijuana
stocks may be a growth play for the long term, if
you can stand the risk of getting burned in the short
run.
For the longest time investing in this Industry was
left to the Retail Investor to research and select
those companies to invest in. Fast-forward to 2016
and the time is now for the Retail Investor to consider this industry but because only a few companies have Institutional Investment, the majority of
the publicly listed companies are without any Analyst coverage. A successful Retail Investor requires
timely, accurate, reliable information and be both
adaptive and nimble.

IT IS HIGH TIME FOR THE RETAIL INVESTOR!


After years of watching TV shows where hopeful
entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas, it is apparent that there are few places more dangerous
to stand than between a pet owners wallet and the
latest fads for Rascal and Gizmo. Forbes.com (Feb,
5, 2015), in its article on why the marijuana (MJ) industry is prime for the Retail Investor, noted that
Americans spend $1,500 a year on a pet yet the typical cannabis consumer will spend at least 20% more
than that annually.

GROWING FASTER THAN YOUR FAVOURITE HERB


The landscape in just five years will look nothing like

CANNAINVESTOR Magazine

it does today and will be completely unrecognizable


to that of only two years ago. My term for this phenomenon is Ecoforming (terraforming the industry
or economy). Did you think in 2014 that the medical marijuana (MMJ) and recreational use would be
as widely accepted as it is today and would become
the multi billion-dollar industry ideal for the Retail
Investor with very little institutional investment and
no large conglomerates?
It is not very often that an economy sprouts a new
multi billion-dollar industry that is ideal for the Retail Investor. Most budding young companies have
share prices (SP) below $3 and that price along with
other criteria do not meet the thresholds of many
Institutional Investors. The political environment
is uncertain and even precarious precisely what
markets dislike! This environment including the
continuous Ecoforming may explain why there are
currently only three companies that have attracted
Institutional Investors and they are GW Pharmaceuticals plc (GWPH), Canopy Growth Corporation
(TWMJF), and Organigram Holdings Inc. (OGRMF).
Not a surprise to see all three included in CANNAINVESTOR Magazines Top 20 Stock picks! What may
be surprising is that none of these three companies
are American. In fact, it is precisely because of the
American landscape being so uncertain that may
explain why some companies have set up in Canada for their stock market listings despite operations
being in the United States. With the Canadian dollar
currently valued at less than $0.80 American, many
of these stocks may seem value priced.

WHO DOES NOT WANT TO OWN SHARES IN THE NEXT APPLE OR TESLA?
Every Retail Investor dreams of buying shares of a company with untapped market value where an ultra
low investment will translate into early retirement! Is the next Apple or Tesla hiding amongst the weed?
This industry is in such a state of constant turmoil and flux that the current and past environment may not
be relevant. For example, what if a company with a low share price and mounting losses is the beneficiary
of new markets opened up through legislation (edibles becoming legal in Oregon in June for example)?

VERY RECENT EXAMPLES OF ECOFORMING






The number of additional States looking to


legalize or expand (eg: Oregon to legalize
edibles effective June 2016).
Continuous upward revisions on the industry - $35 Billion or more in 2020 in the U.S.
alone.
Germany to legalize MMJ in 2017
DEA could reschedule marijuana soon.
Canada plans to introduce legislation to
legalise recreational use in 2017.

MMJ treatment for schizophrenia


Ground-breaking research in the treatment of Schizophrenia without the
adverse side effects of conventional medications.
Industrys first possible REIT announced.
USA Government drops its forfeiture case
against Haborside Health Center.
FDA to regulate e-cigs and Hookah
NASDAQ declines MassRoots listing

AND many more game changing shocks to the landscape!

A GRASS ROOTS MOVEMENT FUELED BY THE BUDDING RETAIL INVESTOR


For our purposes, we will treat Top to Bottom approach the same as Fundamental Analysis and
the Bottom to Top approach the same as Technical Analysis.

FUNDAMENTALS
RETAIL INVESTOR: LONG/INVESTOR


Politically stable
Economically stable
Industry expected to grow from $6.7B in
2016 to $35B in 2020 and these values are
continuously being revised upwards as
more jurisdictions are legalizing
Financial Statement analysis
Diversified Industry.
Undervalued Companies

TECHNICALS
RETAIL INVESTOR: TRADER




Stocks of some companies have predictable and repeating patterns


Long or Short techniques
Shares of many companies are in high
demand facilitating relative ease to enter
and exit positions.
Stink bids are often successful.
Share prices temporarily move fast (before returning) on both rumour and news.

Challenging due to a lack of history in an continuously changing ecosystem!

47

Referring to those that follow these techniques as


investors and traders can often lead to heated arguments as Traders (including day traders and short
sellers) consider themselves as investors. However, that term is generally used to classify a strategy
to buy and hold investments to accumulate wealth
over a period of time whereas trading involves frequent buying and selling in an attempt to outperform the returns that would be generated through
accumulating wealth over a period of time. The lines
between the two may seem blurred in this industry
because a successful Retail Investor may have a buy
and hold strategy at the industry level yet due to
Ecoforming may be trading shares as well as opening and exiting positions of individual companies
with greater frequency. In other words, such a Retail
Investor may buy and hold at the macro level that
is quite profitable and accomplished successfully by
trading at the micro level.
Fundamental Analysis uses many techniques to derive the value of a company because of its focus on
the companys core business and its future potential. These techniques also apply at the sector and
industry levels. At a basic level, Technical Analysis
uses charts and other data about a stock to detect
repeating patterns and the successful trader times
with near precision when to take a position (long
or short) and when to close that position. To see
this in action, look up the stock price leading up to
and after a private placement or bought deal that
includes the right to acquire shares at low prices for
participants. The primary shortcoming of Technical
Analysis in this industry is the lack of trading history
for many companies and the continuously changing
landscape. However, both techniques can be very
successfully about the same stock at the exact same
price entry point as the successful long term Retail
Investor.
Example: $1,000 invested in Pineapple Express (PNPL) in June 2015 was worth well over
$2,000,000 mid-day on March 31, 2016! A
$2,000,000 investment on March 31 was
worth just over $450,000 on May 3! Any trader that went short when the stock peaked may
have made over $30 a share since that date.
This paradoxical reality, I believe, is once again rooted in the Ecoforming of the industry as the entire
environment of this industry is being transformed
dramatically before our eyes seemingly weekly. The

CANNAINVESTOR Magazine

NASDAQ ruling denying MassRoots to be listed because of what could happen will be a watershed
moment in time but for now has sent shockwaves.
The Retail Investor is far nimbler than the Institutional Investor and can enter and exit positions with
ease.
Market leaders by product or sector will eventually
emerge. Does anyone not think that the giants of
the Alcohol, Pharmaceutical, Tobacco are not watching this industrys framework unfold?
Consolidation through M&A activity occurs in almost
every industry and this will be no different. In 2002,
Graeme K. Deans, Fritz Kroeger, and Stefan Zeisel
published in the Harvard Business Review their work
on The Consolidation Curve. Most industries go
through four stages: Opening, Scale, Focus, Balance
and Alliance. This summary below is succinct and I
invite you to read their work as it is readily available
online. Suffice to suggest, this industry, overall, is
more likely that not in its infancy within Stage 1.
A conclusion of their work was that a key driver to a
companys success depends on just how quickly and
successfully they navigate through these four stages.
Those that fail to or are slow will drop out (ie: fail) or
be acquired. These stages are unavoidable in most
industries just as you need to go through puberty
before becoming an adult it cannot be avoided!
These four stages of the Consolidation Curve may
explain why so many companies in this industry are
not profitable and even struggling to survive despite
often having first-market advantage. These four
stages are a simple truth and are ideal for the astute Retail Investor. For example, Retail Investors in
Bedrocan and Tweed did well when both companies
became a part of the Canopy Growth Corporation (a
holding company).
It may be easier to think of this industry as an ecosystem. The industry is a dynamic, vibrant and
living system that, like all ecosystems, will evolve.
Adaptation skills will determine what survives and
thrives and what does not. This view of the industry is not at all unlike the consolidation curve and
they are complimentary. The Retail Investor is an
integral part of this Ecosystem and also requires an
adaptive mindset to be better positioned to identify
those companies that are most likely to succeed and
to accept the loss of others.

EVEN WEEDS HAVE ENEMIES!


As Easely wrote in in the April 2016 premier issue of CANNAINVESTOR Magazine, investing in the Cannabis Industry is fraught with risk mirroring the cautionary words from that 2014 article so at least in all of
this Ecoforming and political uncertainty that there is indeed one constant in this industry uncertainty and
risk. How can so many companies that were first-market movers in a soon to be multi billion-dollar industry
be struggling financially? Too much too fast? Up against an estimated $50 billion black market? Too many
small companies and therefore economies of scale have not been realized?

The successful Retail Investor can reduce risks by:


1. Always referring to and following the article by Easely/HOW TO AVOID COMMON PITFALLS AND EVALUATE CANNABIS STOCKS FOR INVESTMENT
2. Check SEDAR and other filings regularly.
3. Subscribe to industry, sector, and company news feeds
4. Review bullboards and blogs for what seems to be genuine information (but take great caution).
5. Be prepared for wild fluctuations in share price; M&A activity; change in markets and products; and shocks
to the landscape such as the NASDAQ ruling against MassRoots.
6. If it looks to good to be true it probably is! Watch out for these tell tale signs:

- Hype through press releases

- Lots of promises but nothing being produced

- Private placement after private placement causing dilution and low share prices with the proceeds

used for day to day operations rather than for investment and growth.

- There are few barriers to entry in some jurisdictions and It is not too onerous to crowdfund some

seed money and file an application for a licence and pronounce the company as the latest start up.
7. Accept there are factors outside of your control such as the impact of taxes on demand and black market
competition whether on price and/or product AS well as rulings and even statements made by those in
power.

8. Being the first to buy the shares of a new company as it hits the market may not always be the best move
for the Retail Investor as Retail Traders create price volatility. For example, Canopy Growth Corporation is
a front runner in the industry and picked by many to be one of the top two in the Canadian market yet was
recently the 4th most shorted stock on its Canadian exchange.

BUT DOES ALL THAT ANALYSIS


AND RESEARCH REALLY PAY
OFF?
I can only share my experience.
After hundreds of hours of research and analysis and the intent of investing (not trading), I
can truly say that five of my own
holdings are included in CANNAINVESTOR Magazines (April
issue) Top 20 and another is included in the five stocks to watch.
I wanted to diversify and not
spend more than $5 on any stock
in this industry and ideally below
$3. I bought two pharmaceutical companies, two LPs, a social
media tech play, and three from
the Hemp side. When you factor
in I did not want to invest in any
company with a share price over
$5 as well as some of the companies in that list with shares that
cannot easily be bought, if at all,
in my jurisdiction, I actually had 5
of perhaps the 15 or 16 that were
within my parameters.
I intended to invest and not trade.
I recognized the need to be nimble and I have sold positions in
stock only to subsequently buy it
back at a lower price effectively
lowering my average share price.
I saw an opportunity to profit on
another stock on what I thought
had the markings of a Dead Cat
Bounce (google it)! In a landscape
undergoing dramatic Ecoforming,
I recognized that I too needed to
adapt to my surroundings and I
evolved from being stuck in the
Investor mindset to embracing
both aspects (Investor and when
necessary Trader) and although
I am long on the industry and currently on a few companies, I have
accepted the need to exit positions completely and look at companies previously dismissed. The

CANNAINVESTOR Magazine

successful Retail Investor should


think of themselves as part of this
ecosystem and that they need to
also adapt and evolve and not just
be an observer. Being successful
and long in the industry does
not necessarily mean being loyal
to any one company as there is
not set it and forget it here. Time
to test your metal. Following are
two case studies.

Case Study 1:

The Tinley Beverage Company (OTC:QRSRF,


CSE:TNY)
Tinley Beverage Company and
their product that is on the brink
of going to market is Hemplify.
Unlike other companies with only
press releases, there are orders
for this product. Hemplify offers
a unique angle for the marijuana
investor. THC drinks and elixirs
are among the highest-margin
products in the industry, and
hemp CBD drinkables offer an
even larger opportunity because
they are being sold in all 50 states
in regular stores without requiring a prescription. Hemplify is
a uniquely-positioned entrant
in this interesting corner of the
marijuana investing world. Its
flagship product is the world's
first fruit-flavored, sugar-free,
potassium electrolyte and vitamin-rich drinkable CBD product.
With sleek packaging and some
initial celebrity buzz on Twitter,
it's poised to take on the sports,
recovery, hangover and general vitality markets. The Tinley
Beverage Company, plans on
launching THC drinks in similarly
great-tasting and familiar consumer formats to take on the alcohol industry.
The research on CBD and THC in
treating many conditions is compelling and there are more than
170 conditions listed on the web-

site unitedpatientsgroup.com
and the homeopathic/naturopathic and non-prescription treatment market is worth billions of
dollars already and only expected
to grow. When looking through
that list of 170 conditions, many
may be treatable with such a homeopathic approach. A recent
news release titled Tinley Retains
Madflower Creative Group and
Creatrix Labs for Guerilla Marketing, Social Media and Sales and
increased social media buzz suggests that the company may soon
attract even greater attention as
well as increased production and
sales.

Case Study 2:

Canopy Growth
Corporation (OTC:TWMJF, CGC.V)
A CANNAINVESTOR Magazine
Top 20 pick! CGC is actually a
holding company that has attracted institutional investors. One of
their holdings, Tweed, is quite
arguably the most recognized
brand of marijuana in the world.
Tweed has one of its core missions to expand globally as marijuana laws liberalize. Sounds well
adapted to progress through the
four stages of an industry!
Another one of their holdings
in Bedrocan. Bedrocan BV pioneered medical cannabis in
Holland and has decades of experience. They currently are undertaking one of the largest clinical cannabis studies in the world
(the EQUAL study).
Snoop Dog is considered one of
the most seven influential individuals of the industry and he is
an investor in Canopy Growth Inc.
and is listed as one of their partners. Snoop Dog is a pioneer in
the industry and was the first celebrity to launch his own product
line.

Other partners include DNA Genetics, Indoor Harvest (another top 20 pick by CannaInvestor Magazine), and Cannscience.

green investor to investigate for their own learning


not only from the buy and hold Investor perspective
but also from the Trader perspective.

CGC has also started to expand internationally and


recently took a position in Australias Auscann.
They have real assets, real production, real clients,
institutional investors, and their sales are growing
month after month.

Is the industry ripe for the astute and nimble Retail


Investor that accepts the industry as a vibrant ecosystem undergoing continuous Ecoforming? You
decide but you now have help as excellent research
and discussion such as provided by CANNAINVESTOR Magazine will greatly assist and make decision
making less stressful.

The CEO has no qualms predicting his company will


be a billion-dollar company and the data and growth
potential are there In May 2016, the CEO stated
that CGC intends to capture at least 40% of Canadas
market share in part by adapting an Amazon type
model.
MMJ is legal in Canada already and The government
of Canada announced it will introduce legislation in
the spring of 2017 that will pave the way to legalization of recreational use. CGC has the capacity and
capability to the hit the ground running.
As a holding company with cash on hand in this industry CGC can change the game on a dime as already social media and bullboards alike suggest
that CGC has that intangible it factor. CGC has the
potential to do the Ecoforming rather than falling
victim to it.
TNY and CGC are two good companies for both the
savvy industry adept Retail Investor as well as the

THE GREEN RUSH IS NOW!


Regardless of your perspective, goals, and strategy,
the Cannabis industry is absolutely blossoming for
the Retail Investor. It may be generations before
there is another opportunity such as this one. If
you do not have enough to invest in several companies to ensure adequate diversification no worries
as there are several holding companies including a
few in the top 20 picks of this publication including
Canopy Growth Corporation and Organigram Holdings Inc. Also the relative low share prices and low
transaction costs on equity trades means that even
the smallest Retail Investor can make regular recurring small investments to build a position.

Is the cannabis industry a good


investment? You decide!

Projects

Southern Colorado

where two companies have signed leases and their projects are already underway. The site plans have been
completed on both grow facility lease-holders projects
and they include hoop houses, generators, propane tanks

being sought.

Southern Oregon
FutureLand has signed a binding letter of intent to purchase 50% of a 78acre site zoned for recreational cannabis. The purchase will cost $125,000 and will require additional development costs. It also includes a first right of
refusal on the sale of another 265acre site that has a recreational license pending. FutureLand will apply for the
recreational license to grow cannabis soon after closing.

LATEST NEWS
Pazoo, Inc, Along With Committed Financial Partner,
Pays Off And Consolidates 5 Convertible Notes
Eliminating Those Note Holders From Selling Against Each Other
Florham Park, N.J., June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pazoo, Inc. (OTC Pinks: PZOO) is extremely pleased
to announce that with the help of a financial partner the Company has paid off and consolidated five
convertible notes into one investors hands. This now eliminates these five different convertible note
holders from competing against each other to convert and sell shares into the open market.
It was apparent that each of these convertible note holders felt the need that following conversion
they needed to rush to sell shares because there were numerous other convertible note holders
simultaneously converting and selling stock. In essence, it was a competition by these particular note
holders to sell before the other note holders and drove the price down. With the sales and new
consolidation now complete, there should be a much more orderly market in the trading of Pazoo, Inc.
It is our assertion that this should immediately lead to better shareholder valuations as the overall
companys revenues continue to grow and expand over the remainder of 2016 and beyond.
Pazoo CEO David Cunic stated, It is a major relief to have these particular notes consolidated. We are
very fortunate to have the relationship that we do with this one committed financial partner. While it
was very distressing to see market valuations getting obliterated, I am now very excited at the prospects
of building fundamental value through our expanding operations and seeing that fundamental value
now translate into increased shareholder value.
