Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) Offers Viable and Effective Alternatives for Nicotine Delivery

  • Results from second in vivo study of 2018 a success
  • DehydraTECH™ had a 90.2 percent greater absorption rate in the first 10 minutes
  • Clients are improving high-quality products through the enhancement of this drug delivery platform
Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP), a company focused on developing and out-licensing its disruptive drug delivery platform DehydraTECH™, recently announced the results of its second in vivo study of 2018 evaluating this edible technology’s use as a nicotine delivery system (http://nnw.fm/dmD2T).
The study was carried out by a third-party laboratory, which discovered that the absorption of nicotine was significantly greater when delivered by DehydraTECH™. In comparison with the tested control, the DehydraTECH™ system delivered a 90.2 percent greater absorption rate in the first 10 minutes. Because smoking gets the drug into the body so quickly, the speed of absorption for this edible form of nicotine delivery is very important in the overall success of providing a smoking alternative.
Lexaria’s DehydraTECH™ drug delivery platform offers a solution to the high numbers of smoking-related deaths and diseases. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), six million people die every year worldwide as a result of smoking, and 30 times that are living with serious illnesses related to a history of smoking (http://nnw.fm/2CnPX).
This disruptive drug delivery platform has multiple uses. Lexaria out-licenses DehydraTECH™ to entities whose goal is to deliver healthier ingestion methods of cannabinoids, vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nicotine and other molecules. With eight patents and nearly 50 more pending worldwide, Lexaria is enhancing the high-quality products of clients, not competing with them. Clients are improving upon high-quality products by increasing absorption rates, as well as improving taste and smell of the final product.
Clients are utilizing this edible technology in chocolates, beverages, dissolvable infusion products and more. Eighty percent of the company’s total revenue in 2018 is anticipated to come from the licensing of DehydraTECH™, with a number of licensing agreements currently in the works through its four wholly owned subsidiaries serving the nicotine, hemp, pharmaceutical and cannabis industries.

Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (GRYN) is “One to Watch”

  • Following the legalization of recreational cannabis in California in January 2018, the cannabis market in the U.S. is expected to balloon to $23.3 billion by 2022.
  • The global cannabis market could increase three-fold by 2022 with a projected worth of $32 billion.
  • The sector will become increasingly competitive and Hybrid-aeroponics blended with big data and predictive analytics is expected to produce maximum cannabis yields, driving the market for premium cannabis products.
  • The vertical farming market, which utilizes aeroponics for growing crops of all kinds, is expected to reach nearly $10 billion by 2025. Innovation and IP within the cannabis sector can be carried over into the urban farming sector.
Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTC: GRYN) is a full-scope, premium cannabis cultivation company targeting the high-end medical and adult-use recreational market. With more than 25 years of experience in agricultural science and innovation, Green Hygienics is establishing itself as a leader in the advancement of science-driven cannabis cultivation systems. The company will grow by generating revenues from the sales of premium grade cannabis products, developing and licensing valuable IP, making strategic acquisitions, and creating trusted global consumer brands.
The company has integrated and is developing its own IP assets related to proprietary systems and apparatus, software, algorithms and custom-engineered hardware. This provides ultimate efficiencies in a commercially controlled cultivation environment. Utilizing the advantages of hybrid-aeroponics, Green Hygienics creates a sterile growing environment that produces consistent, high-quality product while maintaining the lowest possible carbon footprint. The company utilizes state-of-the-art, quality-controlled commercial cultivation methodology to assure production of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis at much higher yields and greatly reduced costs.
Hybrid-aeroponics produces quality cannabis faster than traditional methods since it doesn’t require natural sunlight or soil and can be operational and produce plants anywhere. Plants grown under aeroponic conditions receive water and nutrients directly to their roots via a fine mist in a controlled environment, dramatically reducing spoilage while keeping the product organic and the environment pest-free. The plants are given the exact amount of nutrients and moisture precisely when needed. Green Hygienics maintains ultimate control over every aspect of this cultivation process, which allows the company to operate with conservation of natural resources in mind. The technology that uses 90-95 percent less water and does not require the use of pesticides or fungicides.
Additionally, the company’s state-of-the-art engineered, controlled environments include electrical, mechanical and HVAC designs that meet mandatory fire and energy codes while improving energy efficiency significantly.
Through these practices, Green Hygienics is establishing itself as a leader in the advancement of science-driven cannabis cultivation systems. The company continues to develop and incubate software as well as engineer hardware to provide additional control over the commercial cultivation method. The company’s science-based approach reveals any growth anomalies before the human eye can see them. This makes it possible to monitor all facets of production, identify cultivation problems based upon scientific data, and implement immediate corrective action, if needed.
The future of commercial cannabis cultivation hinges on using science to control the growing environment in order to remain competitive and deliver a premium grade of product on a consistent basis. The company holds a competitive advantage through its ability to produce premium cannabis products at a significantly lower cost per gram than direct competitors and others in the cannabis industry.
Innovations within the sector that create efficiencies and successful brands will become highly valued. Green Hygienics and its forward-thinking management team are constantly studying the market dynamics of the cannabis industry in North America and abroad while actively pursuing possible expansion opportunities. The company is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and establishing operations in San Diego, California, targeting the $5 billion California cannabis market.

Thousands of Crypto Coins Dead: These Are Top 5

Although digital currencies have shown a substantial amount of progress over the past few years, recent volatility in the crypto world is giving skeptics more reason to stay doubtful.
While we have seen a consistent stream of innovation with new currencies, particularly in the past 18 months, there are now more than 800 of them that have been pronounced dead. This means that the coins have no value, trading at less than 1 cent. Most commonly the failure of these coins is due to their lack of integrity — being a scam or a joke — or because the product did not materialize. Many of the obsolete cryptocurrencies are listed on the website Dead Coins, which describes itself as a “strategic partnership to clean up crypto.” Coinopsy is another site that has reported dead coins. When considering reports from both sources, the number of dead projects accumulates into the thousands, with reasons ranging from true abandonment to outright scams.

Creating New Tokens: Risky by Nature

A process called an initial coin offering (ICO) can create new digital tokens. In this process, a start-up can issue a new currency that is available for purchase by investors. While the investor does not obtain an equity stake in the company, the purchased cryptocurrency can be used on the product of the company. Since the coins are cheap while holding potential for substantial returns down the line, people often buy into an ICO.
By their very nature, ICOs are highly risky. Moreover, these kinds of investments have been riddled with fraud. Just in 2018, a scam ICO called Giza was reported by CNBC. It was a fake startup that ran off with $2 million in investor money, giving plenty of fuel to skeptics to continue to doubt the legitimacy of this industry.
It is important to keep in mind that everyone expects the startups to fail. The problem is the massive amount of cash that floods into these projects before they are ready — this is the primary cause for concern. When startups receive more fuel than they can keep up with, the resulting conflagration ultimately consumes both the company and the founders, which is not helpful to the investors in return.
The conflagrations are, unfortunately, a global phenomenon. In 2017 alone, dead ICOs and scams raised $1 billion, and nearly 300 startups had been marked as questionable. The lock-ups and pricing scams within the ICO market are using greed rather than rational thinking, and are hurting the industry more than helping it. In the end, it is crucial to invest only what you can afford to lose and expect any token that you invest in to fail. Then if it succeeds, you will be pleasantly surprised, and if it fails, you will avoid devastation.
Even Bitcoin, the biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization or value, has had a tough year.
Although it hit a record high of nearly $20,000 last year, it has since decreased by nearly 70%, according to data from CoinDesk. While Bitcoin is still among the stronger of coins, many others have not been as fortunate. To note are five of the greatest failures in cryptocurrency history thus far.

The Biggest Crypto Token Failures

Spacebit
SpaceBit has long held the status of one of the most ambitious cryptocurrency projects thus far. And perhaps rightly so, as this is the company that wanted to launch several “nano-satellites” into orbit to provide a globally-accessible blockchain, which would be used for the storage of Bitcoin as well as helping unbanked regions access financial services. This announcement attracted much attention and enthusiasm from the public, gaining massive support behind them. However, the project ultimately disappeared. There was never any prototype or proof-of-concept, and eventually, all talk about SpaceBIT faded out completely. Supposedly the team behind SpaceBIT is now completely focused on a new project called BlockVerify, so SpaceBIT has been put on the shelf for good.
GEMS
Originally branded as “Gems” but now named “GetGems,” this was a social networking platform that uses cryptocurrency to pay members that view advertisements within the app. Having made grand claims in 2014 about disrupting social media, the result was somewhat disappointing with an underwhelmingly low crowdsale that year. Since then, GetGems has been overtaken by competitors, but they are still running; they have seen the most success in the country of Uzbekistan, ranking in 63rd place among apps.
Dogecoin
Although this cryptocurrency began as a joke, it quickly evolved into a success with a passionate community behind it that became known for donating to charity with DOGE. After a successful streak, the Dogecoin collapsed. To make matters worse, founder Alex Green had disappeared with everyone’s money, shutting down the exchange. This led to the crashing of DOGE and disbandment of its community.
PayCoin
Launched in 2014, PayCoin grew to be one of the largest cryptocurrencies worldwide by market capitalization. The coin’s white paper presented a vision for new variations of blockchain technology that would produce a new breed of cryptocurrency. However, it quickly became evident that the coin would not live up to this vision when its founder converted PayCoin into a generic altcoin clone, which made it easier to push onto the market faster. As it lacked follow-through, people ultimately lost faith in the coin. By 2015, GAW shut down entirely and faced a federal investigation, with its founder fleeing the United States.
DAO
Taking first place in cryptocurrency failure is the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), an Ethereum-based coin. While its beginnings were met with great enthusiasm, including large purchases of the token, one incident had changed the entire course of this currency transactions. When an attacker exploited a vulnerability in the DAO smart contract, this led to a loss of more than $50 million. After information about the attack became well known, the token became abandoned by traders, throwing it into a downward spiral.

Final Thoughts

There has been intense pressure and skepticism placed on the crypto world, perpetuated by consistent news of novel scams or unsuccessful coins. However, optimism for the industry remains strong. Proponents of crypto expect regulators to learn to be more favorable towards the field, which could boost participation in the market. Similarly, there is a lot of optimism for the future of ICOs as an alternative to initial public offerings and venture capital funding. It is true that many coins have not survived, but there are also many coins that have. Every impactful innovation has its trials and tribulations, but that does not mean that it cannot evolve into a success that improves the way we live our lives.

Can Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Be Separated?

Well into the second half of 2018 and it’s been a white-knuckle roller coaster ride for most. With Ether shedding 44 percent of its value in just two weeks and the media speaking of a Bitcoin bubble, is it possible to lose faith in crypto but remain bullish on blockchain? Apparently; if continued corporate statements like the UBS blockchain endorsement are anything to go by. But can you really separate cryptocurrency and blockchain?

UBS Bullish on Blockchain, Bearish on Bitcoin

CEO of Swiss investment banking giant UBS, Sergio Ermotti, came out with a bold claim recently. He said that blockchain was “almost a must” for business. UBS blockchain support is nothing new, however. Neither is their stance that cryptocurrencies are risky and will probably never become mainstream currencies.
Yet, when it comes to blockchain, UBS changes their point of view. The bank believes that blockchain technology can help companies become more efficient and reduce their operating costs across the board, from healthcare to finance. This implies a separation between cryptocurrencies and the technology that they run on.
But is it possible to separate the two? Furthermore, since the original vision of Satoshi was to send peer-to-peer electronic payments without the need for a middleman, UBS blockchain support could be misplaced.

Disrupt or Be Disrupted

“While we are doubtful cryptocurrencies will ever become a mainstream means of exchange, the underlying technology, blockchain, is likely to have a significant impact in industries ranging from finance to manufacturing, health care, and utilities,” UBS wrote in October of 2017.
Adding that, “Just as [the] internet has transformed our lives with email, e-commerce, or smartphone apps, we believe blockchain as an infrastructure technology can power future disruptive technologies through distributive ledgers, smart contracts, tokens or identity management.”
So, what about cutting out the middleman? The centralized authority taking its fees? UBS blockchain research does acknowledge a certain level of risk, although they limit this to technological shortcomings and an uncertainty as to which application will benefit the industry most. They fail to mention whether digital currencies will threaten fiat ones, or if central authorities will be cut out of the loop.
In fact, within the financial sector, UBS predicts that blockchain technology will have irreversible and positive effects. And UBS blockchain support doesn’t stop at words. The bank is also investing in research into distributed ledgers and smart contracts in its business model.
UBS currently holds a number of blockchain patents. Yet, despite Ermotti’s bullish stance, their blockchain activities are dwarfed by other large banks and credit card companies. The list includes American Express, BBVA, Mizuho Financial Group, Goldman Sachs, BNP, and Bank of America (who’s buying up blockchain patents like they’re expecting a war). Is this a bid to disrupt or be disrupted? Or a defensive maneuver to protect themselves against blockchain innovation?

Blockchain and Bitcoin Are One and the Same

Plenty of people criticize Ermotti’s point of view, seeing it as a convenient way of taking a politically acceptable view and a safe position. Leaving the door open without scaring away existing clients. Others believe that more than just convenient, it misses the point completely. After all, blockchain and cryptocurrency are one and the same.
Consider the Bitcoin network for a moment. The way it was created requires miners to believe that the value of the Bitcoin they are rewarded will increase over time (or at least, not decrease in value). Otherwise, there is no incentive or rational reason to invest in expensive mining equipment, electricity, and time.
So, for those like UBS that are skeptical on Bitcoin, but busy singing the praises of blockchain, they may not fully understand. In an interview with Malta’s Steve Tendon, a member of the country’s Blockchain Taskforce and author of Malta’s National Blockchain Strategy, he expressed his concern with viewpoints such as the UBS blockchain one.
He argued that many regulators and institutions tried to draw a distinction between blockchain and cryptocurrencies, viewing crypto as a bad thing because of its criminal associations and scams, but blockchain as a positive technology with infinite possibilities.
“There is no way you can have a smart contract platform that is as sophisticated as the one that Ethereum has implemented today (but there will be others in the future) unless you also have a cryptocurrency that is being used to “pay” for the computation. So the distinction between cryptocurrency and blockchains are really artificial: they are just two aspects of the same coin,” he said.

LD Micro Small-Cap Activity for the Fourth Week of August: Index Up, Black Box Corporation Struggles, Obalon Therapeutics Makes Gains

From Chris Lahiji comes a new summary of the LD Micro newsletter covering microcap activity during the fourth week of August (August 19-26). The newsletter mentions that the LD Micro Index had the strongest week of the nation’s indices, ending up by close to 50 points higher than the next best performing index. Most indices hit all-time highs, despite the tense political climate, Lahiji adds.
Lahiji also takes a moment to remember the passing of Senator John McCain and entertainment reporter Robin Leach, both giants in their respective fields.
In the newsletter’s ‘Impact’ section highlighting the most notable anomalies among the biggest gainers and volume leaders, Phase 4 Research’s Christian Galatti focuses on Obalon Therapeutics and Black Box Corporation.
  • Obalon Therapeutics (OBLN) +63% – How Small Cap Managers Are Forced to Take More Risk
Small cap stocks are subject to a lot of volatility, and small cap managers need to be virtual experts at everything, especially in the health care sector, Galatti says, singling out Obalon Therapeutics, Inc. as a vivid example. The company has developed a gastric balloon that, when swallowed, helps overweight adults lose weight. This non-surgical balloon system is FDA-approved and has seen positive test results among adults 30 to 100 pounds overweight who have failed to lose weight through diet and exercise.
On January 22, 2018, Obalon was planning a secondary offering of its shares, to be priced at $5.50 per share. Canaccord Genuity gave the company a positive rating and a recommended share price of $11. However, the following day, Northland Securities issued a report valuing Obalon’s share price at $4 and giving the company a “sell” rating. Northland Securities’ report was based on allegations by a whistleblower, who contacted Obalon’s auditors KPMG and accused the company of improper revenue recognition. Obalon terminated the stock offering at the 11th hour. The company carried out investigations into the allegations, which were proved to have no merit.
Galatti mentions that Obalon was one of the biggest gainers during the third week of August, seeing its share price rise 63.3 percent after it announced plans to raise $10 million in private placement by selling 5.5 million shares of common stock at a price of $1.82.
It’s almost impossible to be an expert at everything. But, the Small Cap manager has to be. Forced to buy a weighting in Health Care is always fraught with inordinate risk. The story of Obalon is for the manager who has seen it all,” Galatti concludes.
  • Black Box (BBOX) Part II – When $75M Isn’t Enough Cash for a $20M Company
Also in the news was Black Box Corporation, which, as Galatti points out, had a rough trading week. Last month, the heavily indebted company announced a $10 million deal with “the most well-known social media company in the world,” upon which its share price doubled in one day.
The company last month amended its credit agreement with its lenders. As part of the new credit agreement, its creditors waived some potential defaults and events of default. Without these changes, the company would have been in default this quarter.
Last week, the digital solutions provider, worth $25 million on paper, managed to raise $75 million through the sale of its Federal Government IT Services Business. The funds are going toward paying off the company’s $150 million debt. Speaking of the sale, CEO Joel Trammell said, “This was a critical step to give the company options moving forward and reduces the debt to more manageable levels.”
Although Black Box’s shares rose following news of the sale, investors’ confidence suffered a hit when Black Box released its quarterly report, showing that revenue was down year on year. Galatti concludes that investors may be focusing on this, rather than the measures Black Box is taking to secure its future survival.
