- Technology that improves bioavailability of orally ingested cannabinoids
- Safer approach that mitigates risks from carcinogens
- Generates revenue by out-licensing its technology internationally
Announcement of a new government initiative to reduce the level of nicotine in cigarettes to nonaddictive levels is good news for Lexaria Bioscience (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP). Less addictive cigarettes mean less dependence on smoking as a delivery system, not only for nicotine but other substances like cannabinoids, which is why the folks at Lexaria are cheering the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on. This innovative bioscience company has developed technology that offers a safer and more efficient delivery system for bioactive compounds, including cannabinoids.
The idea of reducing nicotine levels has been knocking around for a while. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1994, Dr. Neal Benowitz, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, proposed the idea, according to Scientific American (http://nnw.fm/3am8E). Lower levels of nicotine might make smoking less of a habit and so reduce the toll of the many carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) found in tobacco smoke. Less nicotine would also reduce the risks associated with nicotine itself. The substance is highly addictive, and heavy long-term use may damage arteries, increasing the risk of stroke. Nevertheless, the dangers posed by its use pale in comparison to those caused by the arsenic, benzene, lead and other carcinogens that permeate tobacco smoke.
In 1994, though, the FDA did not have the authority to set nicotine levels for cigarettes. That changed after the passage of the Tobacco Control Act in 2009, which gave the agency power to reduce, but not eliminate altogether, the amount of nicotine in cigarettes. Now, the FDA is exercising its mandate. Its new commissioner, Scott Gottlieb, believes that by making smoking less addictive, more Americans will buck the habit and avoid the peril of developing cancer. In addition, reduced nicotine levels in cigarettes may ultimately cause a divorce from smoking. After all, there are a variety of alternative ways to ingest nicotine, including vaping and chewing gum.
If the smokescreen is removed from cigarettes, they will be seen for what they are: simply, a hazardous delivery system for nicotine, albeit an effective one, no doubt. And for those who must have their nicotine, there are much safer ways to get it, an argument that applies equally well to cannabinoids. Lexaria has proprietary technology for improved delivery of bioactive compounds, which offers a no-smoking safer way to administer cannabinoids.
The company’s lipophilic enhancement technology has been shown to enhance the bioavailability of orally ingested cannabinoids, a decided advantage, since cannabinoids are not absorbed very well by the body’s gastrointestinal tract. The Lexaria process improves bio-absorption of cannabinoids to levels that equal smoking, and onset has been reported as occurring within 15-20 minutes, as opposed to 60-120 minutes for edibles. The company’s technology is patent-protected for cannabidiol (CBD) and all other non-psychoactive cannabinoids, and patent-pending for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), other psychoactive cannabinoids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and nicotine.
The Lexaria technology, which also improves taste, has the potential to improve the absorption and potency of a variety of medical products, including vitamins and analgesics. The company plans to generate revenue by out-licensing its technology internationally.

ProBility Media Corp. (PBYA) eLearning Programs Support America’s Infrastructure Development
- eLearning programs to close the skills gap
- Shortage of electricians on the horizon
- Building an international training brand for technical vocations and trades
Although the details have not been published to date, Infrastructure Week, in early June, kept alive the hopes stemming from President Trump’s campaign promise to spend $1 trillion updating America’s aging infrastructure. If that grand initiative gets underway, thousands of skilled workers in a variety of fields will be required, but are they likely to be there when we need them? With the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reporting the national unemployment rate for June 2017 at 4.4 percent (http://nnw.fm/0DqVy), employers are finding it increasingly difficult to find the right hires, and millions of jobs remain vacant. Yet many of the unemployed cannot fill those positions, since they lack the required skills. To close this skills gap and make American workers infrastructure-ready, ProBility Media Corp. (OTCQB: PBYA) is offering a comprehensive suite of eLearning and training programs. The Houston, Texas-based company is building the first full service eLearning training and career advancement brand for technical vocations and trades.
Those infrastructural projects rebuilding roads and bridges and dams are going to need thousands of well-trained HVAC (heating, ventilation & air-conditioning) technicians, plumbers, and electricians. Electricians, particularly, are forecast to be in high demand. The BLS estimates that about 86,000 additional electricians will be needed by 2024. This rise in quantity demanded over the next seven years will be driven by the wiring of new homes and businesses, as well as an overall growth of the construction industry.
Due to these developments, the electrician field is projected to see a much faster than average growth rate of 14 percent in the years ahead, resulting in 85,900 new jobs by 2024. In addition, the BLS notes that because many employers have reported “difficulty finding qualified applicants,” a shortage of electricians is looming (http://nnw.fm/4eOLJ). This shouldn’t be. The median income for electricians is $51,880, higher than that for construction trades workers and higher than the median for all occupations. Electricians, it seems, make livable wages in a high-growth career.
With ProBility’s comprehensive suite of eLearning and training programs, budding electricians can build their resumes and their skills to take on those lucrative roles. But the company has positioned itself as a key industrial training resource not only for individuals, but for small- and medium-size businesses (SMEs) and enterprise customers. To individuals and institutions alike, ProBility’s objective is to offer consistent high-quality training services and materials for education, testing, and career advancement.
ProBility is endeavoring to become one of the largest certification providers in the country, with programs in 22 states and a goal of servicing all 50. It is pursuing a roll-up strategy in the disparate vocational training space, acquiring and amalgamating educational services for a variety of skilled trades under one roof, a strategy that is already showing signs of success. Revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2017, were $1.8 million, up 153 percent over same period 2016, and revenues for the first six months of the 2017 financial year, at $2.9 million, were just below whole year 2016 revenues of $3.1 million. If sales continue at this level, ProBility is on track to see top line revenue exceed $7 million for 2017. The bottom line will be a better-trained workforce ready and able to take America’s infrastructure into the 21st century.

Algae Dynamics Corp. (ADYNF) Targets Smokeless Medical Cannabis Market, Partners with Major Universities for Research
- Good investment opportunities exist in the marijuana boom, but caution is urged
- Choosing companies with access to the legal medical marijuana space can help investors avoid the risk of changing regulations
- Algae Dynamics Corp. is focusing on cannabis oil extraction and medicine delivery systems to provide the medical benefits without having to smoke
- ADYNF is partnering with two major universities to research the use of cannabis oil extracts for cancers and novel mental health treatments
Everyone knows there is money to be made in marijuana these days. Americans already spend more on cannabis than ice cream each year, and Canadians are anticipating a combined market that may be larger than the entire domestic alcohol industry by 2020.
How and where to invest, however, is not that simple. An article titled “Investing in International Cannabis Markets” in CannaTech (http://nnw.fm/c4bhR) offers some advice to potential investors.
Savvy investors should keep several things in mind. Regulations are changing, and, while the general trend is toward legalization, it is best to look for companies operating in the legal medical marijuana market to avoid the risk of uncertain federal regulations. These types of investments are even better if the company is positioned to take advantage of recreational legalization, when and if it comes.
Algae Dynamics Corp. (OTCQB: ADYNF) is one such company focusing on the extraction of oils from hemp, cannabis and algae for use in unique health products and pharmaceuticals.
Algae Dynamics’ strategy initiative is to explore compounds extracted from cannabis and to focus on the development and formulation of products that combine the benefits of algae and cannabis oils. The company is targeting the human endocannabinoid system with algae and cannabis oil extracts. Endocannabinoids are found naturally in the human body.
The endocannabinoid system plays an essential mediating role in several physiologic systems, and receptors can be found throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. Plant-based cannabinoids may offer a more natural way of treating various diseases including multiple sclerosis, arthritis, hypertension, memory loss, pediatric epilepsy and neuropathic pain (http://nnw.fm/vXU7K).
Algae Dynamics plans to leverage its expertise in algae oil extraction to produce cannabis oil extracts for use in non-smoke formulations that offer the health benefits of cannabis without the dangers of smoking. Once extracted, cannabis oil can be vaporized or made into tinctures.
Medically beneficial cannabis oil formulations are being researched by Algae Dynamics by way of partnerships with two major universities. The company has signed a research and product development agreement with the University of Waterloo (http://nnw.fm/NLy8a) for a three-year, $600,000 program to investigate the use of cannabis oil in the treatment of colorectal, pancreas, breast and prostate cancers.
A four-year, C$1,000,000 agreement with the University of Western Ontario (http://nnw.fm/A2wdw) will fund research and product development on the use of cannabis derivatives as novel pharmacotherapies for mental health diseases such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and schizophrenia.
With its entry into the North American cannabinoid market, which is expected to top $2 billion in consumer sales by 2020, Algae Dynamics is an intriguing investment opportunity for those seeking opportunities in this booming market.

Senate Appropriations Committee Action Adds Fuel to the Fire for Businesses in the Legal Cannabis Space
NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Proponents of legal cannabis celebrated a victory on July 27. By voice vote, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a budget bill amendment that prevents the federal government from interfering in medical marijuana programs in states where cannabis has been legalized for medical use1. This event represents one more step forward as legal cannabis companies like ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) (CIIX Profile), Terra Tech Corp. (TRTC), Medical Marijuana, Inc. (MJNA), Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) and SinglePoint, Inc. (SING) solidify their footholds in the marketplace.
The amendment to the “2018 Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Bill” bars the Department of Justice from using federal funds to keep states from implementing their own laws that allow the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana. In other words, the DOJ is prohibited from investigating medical marijuana cases or enforcing federal marijuana laws in states where cannabis has been legalized for medical use.
Both legal and public views on marijuana continue shifting toward the “pro” side of the debate. A recent Gallup poll reported that 60 percent of Americans now support the legalization of marijuana2, while an April 2017 poll conducted by CBS3 showed 88 percent of Americans are in favor of legalizing medical marijuana.
In light of this increasingly favorable landscape, market momentum is strong for cannabis companies and investors looking for play in the legal marijuana market have ample opportunity.
ChineseInvestors.com (CIIX), for instance, presents a prime investment prospect as it works toward its goal of becoming the world’s leading publicly traded Chinese medical cannabis company.
The presence of CIIX is growing steadily as the company continues diversifying its cannabis market entry points. One of the company’s key focuses at present is investing in the distribution and R&D of cannabidiol-based (CBD) health products and medicines to Chinese-speaking consumers.
In recent company news, CIIX’s wholly owned foreign enterprise, CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd., officially filed a record of its first line of non-industrial hemp-infused skincare products, called the CBD Magic Hemp Series, with the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). The product line is expected to be launched between late August and early September 2017, and CBD Biotechnology believes it to be the very first line of non-industrial, hemp-infused skincare products in China. This will position CBD Biotechnology as a first-mover in a virtually untapped area of China’s skincare industry.
While marijuana is currently illegal in China, cannabis-based oils are not, which gives CIIX promising access to a market of almost 2 billion consumers in that country.
Another recent milestone for CIIX has been the creation of a Hemp Education Center in San Gabriel, California, established by the company’s wholly owned subsidiary ChineseHempOil.com, Inc. The club-style facility is at the center of the thriving Chinese-speaking community in San Gabriel. Through it, the company plans to deliver valuable information for those desiring to learn more about the potential health benefits of non-industrial hemp and hemp-derived CBD and to bolster awareness about non-industrial hemp, which is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. The activities and events hosted at the Hemp Education Center will coincide with efforts to bolster CIIX’s local advertising presence and brand awareness development and to help further publicize the company’s hemp and hemp-derived CBD products.
CIIX is also preparing to open its first retail store in San Gabriel, which will be among the first establishments to sell the company’s new OptHemp health product line.
In addition to its activities in China and the United States, CIIX is expanding its presence in other countries and recently incorporated CBD Biotechnology Inc. in British Columbia, Canada, to focus on the R&D and distribution of health products in Canada, including hemp-based CBD, food products and beverage items.
CIIX’s wholly owned Chinesehempoil.com, Inc. subsidiary is now officially accepting bitcoin payments, allowing customers to buy hemp-based products through non-cash transactions in areas where banking options are limited due to government restrictions, as they currently are in the U.S. The company also launched ChineseCBDoil.com in December 2016 in the free-trade zone of Shanghai, China, marking the first CBD health products online store to be offered in the Chinese language. Concurrent with that launch was the debut of the very first Chinese language Yelp-style social media app, also launched by CIIX.
While the underlying cannabis market is projected to grow at a rate of 80 percent, CIIX was predicted to grow at a CAGR of about 100 percent through 2020 and attain revenues of $14.8 million by fiscal year 2020, according to a May 2017 research report issued by Consilium Global Research (http://nnw.fm/a13sJ).
Other companies that are budding with promise in the legal marijuana market include Terra Tech (TRTC). A vertically integrated agriculture company, Terra Tech has multiple subsidiaries in the medical marijuana space and is focused on consistently cultivating and providing high-quality medical marijuana to qualified, registered medical marijuana businesses along with supporting research that will lead to the cultivation and cross-breeding of marijuana strains to treat various medical conditions. Terra Tech recently obtained its Dual Use Marijuana business licenses from the state of Nevada, which enabled adult-use cannabis sales to commence at its four Blüm cannabis dispensaries.
Another promising bloomer in the medical cannabis space is Medical Marijuana (MJNA), which stood out as the very first company to offer hemp-based CBD products in the U.S., doing so legally despite current federal cannabis restrictions. MJNA offers high-quality cannabis-derived products that utilize the health properties of non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBD, possessing a variety of potential health applications while being free of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The company’s low- and non-THC cannabis varieties (hemp) are grown outside of the U.S., and then MJNA’s carefully cultivated CBD hemp oil and hemp oil products are imported into the U.S., where they are fully legal due to their lack of psychoactive properties. Free of THC or containing only insignificant amounts, CBD hemp oil offers a full spectrum of phytocannabinoids with high CBD content.
MJNA products currently include pure CBD oil; CBD oil capsules; CBD oil chewing gum; CBD oil tinctures, sprays and liquids; CBD vaporizers, vape oil and vaporizer pens; and hemp oil body care products. The company is successfully offering its legal hemp-based CBD products in various countries, including Mexico, Brazil and locations in Europe.
Innovative cannabis and hemp corporation Marijuana Company of America (MCOA) is another recognized play, engaged in the marketing and distribution of hemp to give investors a chance to be at the vanguard of cannabis and hemp innovation, cultivation, processing and distribution. Through its vertically integrated business model, MCOA and its partners are ideally positioned for rapid growth. The company’s portfolio of brands, investments and joint ventures includes hempSMART, Club Harmoneous, Bougainville, GateC Research, and MoneyTrac Technology. MCOA recently completed an investment of $250,000 into MoneyTrac Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of Global Payout, Inc. (OTC PINK: GOHE), in exchange for 15 percent ownership interest. This investment was made to help establish and market MoneyTrac Technology as an alternative banking solution for the marijuana industry.
MCOA, through its wholly owned subsidiary H Smart, Inc., also recently successfully filed for a full non-provisional U.S. patent for its proprietary formulation of hempSMART Brain, which was developed to bolster brain function and health while featuring CBD as its core ingredient.
Another marijuana-related company rapidly making a name for itself in the marketplace is SinglePoint (SING) SinglePoint provides a diversified investment opportunity within the legal cannabis space without ever touching the plant, and the company is starting to demonstrate its ability to generate revenues through strategic acquisitions. Among its services to legal cannabis businesses, SinglePoint operates www.SingleSeed.com through its SingleSeed subsidiary. SingleSeed.com has become a premier hub for cannabis dispensaries that are looking for merchant payment processing solutions and other business tools, providing them with payment processing and text message marketing solutions.
SinglePoint is also developing a proprietary bitcoin payment solution to enable currently “unbankable” cannabis businesses to conduct non-cash transactions. The company closed a $1 million company-friendly Convertible Promissory Note with an institutional investor in June with the intention to use proceeds from the investment to support its bitcoin solution, and SinglePoint continues actively planning and executing strategic acquisitions in the cannabis space. The company recently acquired 90 percent ownership of Discount Indoor Garden Supply (DIGS), which, among its products and services, offers hydroponic products and consulting services to marijuana growers. SinglePoint further invested in Convectium earlier this year and, through that company, is engaged in offering equipment, branding and packaging solutions to the cannabis industry.
Continued legal victories and a turning tide of public opinion are adding fuel to the already blazing fire of the legal marijuana market. The named companies offer intriguing investment opportunities for those seeking promising play in this burgeoning market.

ChineseInvestors.com (CIIX), for instance, presents a prime investment prospect as it works toward its goal of becoming the world’s leading publicly traded Chinese medical cannabis company.
The presence of CIIX is growing steadily as the company continues diversifying its cannabis market entry points. One of the company’s key focuses at present is investing in the distribution and R&D of cannabidiol-based (CBD) health products and medicines to Chinese-speaking consumers.
In recent company news, CIIX’s wholly owned foreign enterprise, CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd., officially filed a record of its first line of non-industrial hemp-infused skincare products, called the CBD Magic Hemp Series, with the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). The product line is expected to be launched between late August and early September 2017, and CBD Biotechnology believes it to be the very first line of non-industrial, hemp-infused skincare products in China. This will position CBD Biotechnology as a first-mover in a virtually untapped area of China’s skincare industry.
While marijuana is currently illegal in China, cannabis-based oils are not, which gives CIIX promising access to a market of almost 2 billion consumers in that country.
Another recent milestone for CIIX has been the creation of a Hemp Education Center in San Gabriel, California, established by the company’s wholly owned subsidiary ChineseHempOil.com, Inc. The club-style facility is at the center of the thriving Chinese-speaking community in San Gabriel. Through it, the company plans to deliver valuable information for those desiring to learn more about the potential health benefits of non-industrial hemp and hemp-derived CBD and to bolster awareness about non-industrial hemp, which is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. The activities and events hosted at the Hemp Education Center will coincide with efforts to bolster CIIX’s local advertising presence and brand awareness development and to help further publicize the company’s hemp and hemp-derived CBD products.
CIIX is also preparing to open its first retail store in San Gabriel, which will be among the first establishments to sell the company’s new OptHemp health product line.
In addition to its activities in China and the United States, CIIX is expanding its presence in other countries and recently incorporated CBD Biotechnology Inc. in British Columbia, Canada, to focus on the R&D and distribution of health products in Canada, including hemp-based CBD, food products and beverage items.
CIIX’s wholly owned Chinesehempoil.com, Inc. subsidiary is now officially accepting bitcoin payments, allowing customers to buy hemp-based products through non-cash transactions in areas where banking options are limited due to government restrictions, as they currently are in the U.S. The company also launched ChineseCBDoil.com in December 2016 in the free-trade zone of Shanghai, China, marking the first CBD health products online store to be offered in the Chinese language. Concurrent with that launch was the debut of the very first Chinese language Yelp-style social media app, also launched by CIIX.
While the underlying cannabis market is projected to grow at a rate of 80 percent, CIIX was predicted to grow at a CAGR of about 100 percent through 2020 and attain revenues of $14.8 million by fiscal year 2020, according to a May 2017 research report issued by Consilium Global Research (http://nnw.fm/a13sJ).
Other companies that are budding with promise in the legal marijuana market include Terra Tech (TRTC). A vertically integrated agriculture company, Terra Tech has multiple subsidiaries in the medical marijuana space and is focused on consistently cultivating and providing high-quality medical marijuana to qualified, registered medical marijuana businesses along with supporting research that will lead to the cultivation and cross-breeding of marijuana strains to treat various medical conditions. Terra Tech recently obtained its Dual Use Marijuana business licenses from the state of Nevada, which enabled adult-use cannabis sales to commence at its four Blüm cannabis dispensaries.
Another promising bloomer in the medical cannabis space is Medical Marijuana (MJNA), which stood out as the very first company to offer hemp-based CBD products in the U.S., doing so legally despite current federal cannabis restrictions. MJNA offers high-quality cannabis-derived products that utilize the health properties of non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBD, possessing a variety of potential health applications while being free of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The company’s low- and non-THC cannabis varieties (hemp) are grown outside of the U.S., and then MJNA’s carefully cultivated CBD hemp oil and hemp oil products are imported into the U.S., where they are fully legal due to their lack of psychoactive properties. Free of THC or containing only insignificant amounts, CBD hemp oil offers a full spectrum of phytocannabinoids with high CBD content.
MJNA products currently include pure CBD oil; CBD oil capsules; CBD oil chewing gum; CBD oil tinctures, sprays and liquids; CBD vaporizers, vape oil and vaporizer pens; and hemp oil body care products. The company is successfully offering its legal hemp-based CBD products in various countries, including Mexico, Brazil and locations in Europe.
Innovative cannabis and hemp corporation Marijuana Company of America (MCOA) is another recognized play, engaged in the marketing and distribution of hemp to give investors a chance to be at the vanguard of cannabis and hemp innovation, cultivation, processing and distribution. Through its vertically integrated business model, MCOA and its partners are ideally positioned for rapid growth. The company’s portfolio of brands, investments and joint ventures includes hempSMART, Club Harmoneous, Bougainville, GateC Research, and MoneyTrac Technology. MCOA recently completed an investment of $250,000 into MoneyTrac Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of Global Payout, Inc. (OTC PINK: GOHE), in exchange for 15 percent ownership interest. This investment was made to help establish and market MoneyTrac Technology as an alternative banking solution for the marijuana industry.
MCOA, through its wholly owned subsidiary H Smart, Inc., also recently successfully filed for a full non-provisional U.S. patent for its proprietary formulation of hempSMART Brain, which was developed to bolster brain function and health while featuring CBD as its core ingredient.
Another marijuana-related company rapidly making a name for itself in the marketplace is SinglePoint (SING) SinglePoint provides a diversified investment opportunity within the legal cannabis space without ever touching the plant, and the company is starting to demonstrate its ability to generate revenues through strategic acquisitions. Among its services to legal cannabis businesses, SinglePoint operates www.SingleSeed.com through its SingleSeed subsidiary. SingleSeed.com has become a premier hub for cannabis dispensaries that are looking for merchant payment processing solutions and other business tools, providing them with payment processing and text message marketing solutions.
SinglePoint is also developing a proprietary bitcoin payment solution to enable currently “unbankable” cannabis businesses to conduct non-cash transactions. The company closed a $1 million company-friendly Convertible Promissory Note with an institutional investor in June with the intention to use proceeds from the investment to support its bitcoin solution, and SinglePoint continues actively planning and executing strategic acquisitions in the cannabis space. The company recently acquired 90 percent ownership of Discount Indoor Garden Supply (DIGS), which, among its products and services, offers hydroponic products and consulting services to marijuana growers. SinglePoint further invested in Convectium earlier this year and, through that company, is engaged in offering equipment, branding and packaging solutions to the cannabis industry.
Continued legal victories and a turning tide of public opinion are adding fuel to the already blazing fire of the legal marijuana market. The named companies offer intriguing investment opportunities for those seeking promising play in this burgeoning market.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) Getting Some Skin in the Game
- Entering $30+ billion Chinese skin care market
- First and only CBD-based products to market
- Expects to capture huge share of new skin care products category
Any dispute over the efficacy of medical cannabis is settled science. Recent prestigious clinical studies have provided conclusive evidence that medical cannabinoids are effective medicine for a variety of diseases and ailments (http://nnw.fm/QWn8r). Cannabidiol (CBD) has been scientifically shown to be effective in the treatment of certain epilepsies, pain, inflammation and nausea, as well as providing relief from hangover, anxiety and stress.
It comes as little surprise then that cannabis may well possess skin healing properties. Cannabis is a known anti-inflammatory containing antioxidant and anti-aging elements. Hemp seed oil contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids can enhance complexion by improving the skin’s texture and softness. They keep skin cells moist by reducing the amount of water lost through the epidermis, and they also increase production of collagen, a protein that makes up connective tissue and is a structural building block of firm, healthy skin. The human endocannabinoid system utilizes multiple cannabinoid receptors, and a large number of these are actually found in the skin.
In spite of vast anecdotal evidence, hard science has not yet settled on the positive effects of CBD skin care. However, it took decades and overcoming wrong-headed preconceptions to scientifically prove the medical efficacy of CBD in multiple maladies. It should easily follow that there are underlying benefits of topical cannabis-based skin care products.
When looking for opportunity in this new arena, look to China, the second-largest consumer of skin care products in the world, generating nearly $30 billion in annual retail sales. The recent article “Investment Options in the Multi-Billion Dollar Medical Marijuana Industry” (http://nnw.fm/Zmj4K) highlighted ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) entering the multi-billion Chinese skin care industry with the introduction of a new line of cannabidiol-based skin care products. The company has filed a record of its first line of hemp-infused skin care products with the China Food and Drug Administration (http://nnw.fm/3nlZM) and expects to launch in the next couple months.
As the company stated in its press release, “Although ancient Chinese recognized the medicinal properties of the cannabis plant, CBD extract appears to be largely unrecognized in China today for its benefits, including but not limited to, its potential benefits to the largest visible human organ, the skin.”
When one considers how prevalent skin conditions are, it becomes clear that a safe, effective new treatment is likely to be embraced by a significant portion of the population. Understandably, the market potential is enormous. Not only is the market potential huge, the company anticipates capturing “100% of China’s market share in this novel skin care products category,” since, to its knowledge, no other manufacturers have entered the cannabis skin care product market in China.
Given the immense opportunity in CBD-based skin care and the multiple markets and products that ChineseInvestors.com is pursuing, it very well may be time to get some skin in the game.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) Sees New Round of Investors Attracted to Cannabis Market
- Has patents in the United States and Australia and patents pending in more than 40 countries for proprietary technology easing how edible cannabinoids enter body
- Revenue stream comes from own products and 5-10% margin of gross sales from licensing technology to third parties
- Signed C$250,000 joint venture agreement with National Research Council (NRC) in Canada to research and find best methods for processing active agents in foods
Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) already owns international patents for its proprietary intellectual property and has more global patents pending in the cannabis marketplace. It believes that the sub-sector of bioscience technology for edible CBDs will expand. It expects a new round of investors will be attracted to “plant-to-bloodstream” companies. Initially, it said, investors funded “seed-to-plant” companies.
The Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada-based food bioscience company is a technology disruptor for edible CBDs. It markets a high absorption hemp oil formula, protein energy bars, exotic teas and high absorption hemp oil capsules to help the human body absorb CBDs. In its June 2017 corporate presentation for investors (http://nnw.fm/t8NXO), Lexaria Bioscience noted that its focus is on researching and developing additional products for the edible cannabinoids market. It owns international patent rights and has pending patents for its technology changing the way cannabinoids enter the body.
This sub-sector is in its relative infancy as companies seeks to learn more about the medicinal potential for medical marijuana. Lexaria Bioscience is the only publicly traded company which has intellectual property in this sub-sector, covering non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nicotine and vitamins, according to a July 2017 market research report titled, “Biotech Players Lead the Growth Charge in the Legal Cannabis Market” (http://nnw.fm/lpeU8). The company has received for its proprietary technology its first patents in the United States and Australia and has patents pending in more than 40 countries globally.
Lexaria’s technology aims to improve the human body’s absorption of CBDs in the gastrointestinal tract. The process is effective, not just for CBDs, but also for other non-psychoactive cannabinoids. Patents are pending, too, for NSAIDs, nicotine and other molecules, per the research report.
By masking the bitter taste, reducing ingestion time and improving bio-absorption of CBD products, Lexaria Bioscience enjoys revenue streams from its own product line brands, such as Turbo CBD™, ViPova™, and Lexaria Energy Foods, as well as from licensing to third party partners at a 5-10% margin of gross sales.
Lexaria Bioscience has also just signed a C$250,000 collaborative research agreement with the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada for an 18-month term to investigate opportunities to evaluate and determine the best methods for processing lipophilic active agents within foods. The research will also study cannabinoids such as THC, vitamins, nicotine and NSAIDs. The result could be isolating a chemical or physical “fingerprint” identification to study Lexaria’s technology in consumer products, the company’s investor presentation said.

Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) Offers Investors Access to Growth of World’s Largest Economy
- China is now the world’s largest economy and on the brink of incredible growth
- Moxian is targeting owners of 75 million small- and medium-sized businesses in China with O2O tools to engage and convert online viewers to brick and mortar purchasers
- Social gaming, loyalty rewards and messaging allow Moxian to mine consumer data for clients’ benefit while driving revenue
Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) is offering investors a unique opportunity to benefit from the growth of what is now the world’s largest economy. Moxian, a digital marketing company based in Shenzhen, China, is on the leading edge of e-commerce in China’s newly emerging private-based economy, offering merchants a way to convert online views into retail purchases at brick and mortar locations.
China became the world’s largest exporter in 2010, and, in 2014, surpassed the U.S. to become the largest economy in the world, according to Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/places/china/). The country is on the brink of incredible growth as it transitions into a consumer-based economy, according to Stephen Roach, former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia (http://nnw.fm/eYSo7). Moxian is well-positioned to both drive the transition and benefit from it.
Moxian uses social media, entertainment and business intelligence to focus on the online-to-offline market (O2O). The company is targeting China’s 75 million small- and medium-sized businesses to help offline merchants reach more digitally-oriented customers using promotions such as games, rewards, loyalty programs and social events.
Moxian is in the process of converting more than 31,000 small market enterprises (SMEs) to paid clients with its Moxian+ Business app. The app allows businesses to interact with new and existing customers and uses a client’s consumer list to mine valuable data analytics and drive retail traffic into brick and mortar locations. Clients can create, manage and promote customized loyalty programs, ad campaigns and promotions.
For the 300,000 consumer users, the Moxian+ User app offers games, social loyalty programs and shopping, along with Mo-Talk, a proprietary voice chat service which helps clients and merchants interact.
Moxian projects its mobile advertising revenue in China to reach $3 million in 2017 and $6 million in 2018 – 24% of company sales. Spending on digital advertising in China has jumped to 57.2% of total ad dollars. SeeThruEquity (http://nnw.fm/vHl5z) has projected that Moxian will reach $24.1 million in sales by fiscal year 2018.
