New York City – March 3, 2020 /AxisWire/ The Green Market Report (GMR), the cannabis industry’s leading financial news outlet, releases its first Psychedelic Trend Report. This nine-page, 3500-word report was created as a result GMR’s first ground-breaking, sold-out event on the emerging psychedelic market it held in NYC in January. This original report looks at the trends and companies that are paving the way for new looks at old treatments. You can download the report at greenmarketreport.com/reports.

As more municipalities and states begin to decriminalize various psychedelic products for medical treatments, the investment world has taken an interest in the emerging industry. Many cannabis industry leaders and investors have begun crossing over into the psychedelic world to start new companies and pursue new medical treatments.It was the interest in this evolving industry that caused the Green Market Report to host its first Psychedelic Investing Summit in New York City.

“We have heard from our readers at Green Market Report that there is a great deal of interest in this emerging field of psychedelics and the companies that are leading the way. We’re also seeing that some cannabis investors are adding psychedelic investments to their portfolios. As we tried to research this industry, we found that information was lacking and that is what prompted us to hold our Summit and write this report.” Debra Borchardt, Co-founder & CEO of Green Market Media

This report gives a brief introduction to the uses of psychedelic treatments, the potential patient populations and the legal landscape for these compounds. It also highlights companies like Mind Medicine Inc., Atai Life Sciences, Field Trip Health and Eleusis Ltd., which are each pursuing different paths for treating patients. The report also covers the research being performed by companies like Back of the Yards Algae Sciences and the investment goals of companies Green Sky Strategies that is putting money into these endeavors.

Green Market Report will be hosting its next conference The Economics of 2020 Cannabis on April 3, in New York City featuring one panel on psychedelics and following that it will host another Psychedelic Investing Summit on July 30, in San Francisco. The report is available now on the Green Market Report website.

Cannabis Stocks Opened on a High Note First Quarter With 40% Index Growth

New York City – May 22, 2018 /AxisWire/ The Green Market Report (GMR), the cannabis industry’s most trusted source for credible in-depth financial and economic reporting, today released its 2019 Cannabis Company Index Q1 Summary Report. The report can be downloaded at GreenMarketReport.com/Reports.

The GMR Index follows the trading activity of 30 selected public cannabis companies that denote market dominance. The Company Index started 2019 on a high note as the first quarter jumped 40% and essentially recovering from the dismal fourth quarter of 2018. The broader stock market sold off at the end of the year and it took cannabis stocks along for the ride into the red territory. While the Farm Bill passage in December set the stage for stocks in the first quarter, Congress wasn’t through waving a green flag for the cannabis industry. . At the end of March, The House Financial Services Committee voted 45 to 15 to advance the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act.

Despite all the positive news flowing through the cannabis industry, high profile lawsuits also reminded investors that the cannabis industry isn’t as mature as others. International markets are opening up to import and export. And U.S. exchanges are playing with Canadian companies while avoiding American ones.

“2019 is off to a good start for cannabis companies. Many stock valuations have recovered from the late 2018 selloff as the government seemed to soften its approach towards cannabis ,” stated Debra Borchardt, CEO of Green Market Report.

The best performing stock in the GMR Index was Origin House followed by The Green Organic Dutchman, who was the biggest loser last quarter. The biggest loser in the GMR Index was AeroGrow International.

The Index decided to add SLANG Worldwide Inc. and TILT Holdings Inc. While the Index was sad to let AeroGrow go, although it is the smallest of the publicly traded companies, as well as MedMen amid all of their legal woes.

“SLANG Worldwide has so many positives going for it. This was an easy name to add to the Index,” added Borchardt. “TILT Holdings though surprised the market with a large write down shortly after being added to the Index. We’ll monitor the stock closely. .”

Hosted by the Green Market Report, the cannabis industry’s premier financial news organization, the one-day event will feature exclusive information on finding jobs in the cannabis industry, building a national cannabis brand, insight into the business of vapes, the pricing of hemp ahead of a futures market, investing in women-led cannabis companies and important updates for the Chicago market.

“Green Market Report has seen the early signs that Illinois will be a major force in the cannabis industry” said Green Market Media Co-founder and CEO, Debra Borchardt. “Instead of waiting until after it happens, we want to be a part of the beginning. This conference will bring together the companies that see the promise of Chicago’s cannabis future and the residents and investors that will make it a success.”

The keynote interview will explore Miller and the SLANG team’s track record of best selling brands, global distribution and strategic partnerships and the future for brands in the industry. SLANG Worldwide, the leading portfolio of cannabis consumer packaged goods, sells some of the best performing cannabis products in the US’ largest legal markets and has worldwide distribution including 12 US states.

“As Illinois voters continue to support full cannabis legalization, the size of the market already makes it one of the larger growth opportunities in the industry,” stated Tim Seymour of Seymour Asset Management & CNBC. “I am very excited to be talking to some of top companies and leaders in the state at the Green Market Summit in Chicago on May 7^th.”

Peter Miller is a cannabis industry veteran and was the co-founder of Mettrum Health Corp., which, in 2017, was sold to Canopy Growth Corporation for aggregate consideration of approximately $430 million.

“As Chicago is home to some of the world’s most enduring consumer brands, I am thrilled to discuss SLANG Worldwide’s winning brands and distribution strategy at Green Market Summit’s inaugural Chicago event,” said SLANG Worldwide CEO Peter Miller. “Cannabis is a massive and ever-evolving market opportunity; Green Market Report is sure to inspire Chicago’s business community with dynamic conversations.”

Cannabis Stocks Follow Broader Market Selloff As Q4 Index Falls 33%

New York City – February 5, 2018 /AxisWire/ The Green Market Report (GMR), the cannabis industry’s most trusted source for credible in-depth financial and economic reporting, today released its 2018 Cannabis Company Index Q4 Summary Report. The report can be downloaded at GreenMarketReport.com/Reports.

The GMR Index follows the trading activity of 30 selected public cannabis companies that denote market dominance. After rising 56% in the third quarter, on a plethora of good news, the Index plunged 33% along with the broader market in general which saw stocks give back most of the year’s gains. The S&P 500 fell 13.9%, while the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF (HMMJ) declined by 39% in the fourth quarter. The GMR Index managed to gain 5.5% for the entire year, while the HMMJ actually dropped 19% for the year .

In Q2, investors felt that the risk to investing in cannabis had been tempered once it was clear that the DOJ was more talk than action when it came to punishing those in the cannabis industry. In addition, conservative Republicans at both the federal and state level began to demonstrate a willingness to shift away from their hardline anti-cannabis stances of the past and confirmed a willingness to discuss a pathway towards legalization.

History continued to be made in the cannabis industry during the last quarter. On October 17, Canada began the first day for sales of adult use cannabis in Canada – making 1017 the new 420. The mid-term elections in the U.S. were the next big event for the quarter. More states legalized cannabis in this year’s midterm elections in November, with Michigan becoming the latest one to legalize adult-use cannabis. Missouri and Utah both approved medical cannabis. If that wasn’t enough for the industry to cheer about, in December lawmakers in D.C. passed the 2018 Farm Bill, which included an amendment legalizing hemp.

“The fourth quarter of 2018 was very challenging for cannabis industry stocks as share prices plunged as stocks in general entered bear market territory. Legalization of hemp in December set the stage for a recovery as cannabis stocks have mostly moved higher in the early days of 2019 ,” stated Debra Borchardt, CEO of Green Market Report.

The best performing stock in the GMR Index was Charlotte’s Web Holdings which managed to end the quarter neither gaining or losing. Remaining flat was a huge accomplishment. The company stands to benefit greatly from the legalization of hemp and hemp-derived CBD products.

The biggest loser in the GMR Index was The Green Organic Dutchman with a loss of 64% in its share price. TGOD is behind many of its peers with regards to having product available for the newly legal adult market Canada.

Consolidation continues to force the Index to make adjustments, but the choice of stellar companies as replacements make the changes very easy. MPX Bioceuticals and Emblem Corp. were both removed due to impending acquisitions.

The Index decided to add Acreage Holdings Inc. as that company continues to add to its portfolio and now has a presence in 19 states. iAnthus is acquiring MPX Bioceutical and is also getting added to the Index. While the Index was sad to let MPX go, the substitution is just as strong. Cresco Labs is added as this multi-state operator focuses on markets with high barriers of entry. Finally, Florida-based Trulieve was added as the company continues to report increasing revenues and has embarked on an expansion strategy outside of the state.

“Looking ahead to 2019, we expect to see the industry adjust to the legalization of hemp and what that means for hemp-derived CBD products,” added Borchardt. “We expect the industry will experience more consolidation and even more cannabis companies to become publicly traded stocks.”

During the massive gathering of cannabis industry leaders at Marijuana Business Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, the leading women came together to honor the achievements of their peers. The 2nd Annual Industry Power Women Awards, the ceremony aimed to recognize the accomplishments of women in the cannabis industry; from entrepreneurs and investors to influencers and advocates, commenced.

The award ceremony was hosted by the group Industry Power Women (IPW) and made possible with generous sponsors that included Dr. Robb Farms, High Times Holding Company, Organa Brands, Regs Technology (Cannaregs), Skunk Factory, Mood33, Passport Cannabis, The GoldQ, CH3 Ventures, Greenhouse Ventures, Saka Wines and Pink Haze.

IPW was founded in 2017 and is an organization established to help advance female businesswomen in cannabis. IPW aims to elevate and empower female entrepreneurship within the cannabis industry by creating a support network of like-minded individuals.

Attending the invite-only ceremony was an assortment of women from across the industry and all walks of life. These women include founders, CEOs, C-suite executives, trade organization leaders and community organizers.

Green Market Report co-founder and CEO, Debra Borchardt, and managing partner of KCSA Strategic Communications as well as the founder of AxisWire, Cynthia Salarizadeh acted as hostesses for the event. The first to take home an award was Kristin Hope for the Rising Star Award. At just 15 years old, Hope became the first person to launch a pharmaceutical grade hemp beauty line, HOOP, and was most recently nominated for the Bell scholarship.

The next award recipient was Gaynell Rogers, who won Influencer of the Year. As one of the most respected voices in public relations, Rogers has worked with some of the best and brightest in the cannabis industry; including Harborside Health’s Co-Founder Steve DeAngelo.

Outside of the cannabis industry, Rogers is also known for her work as the senior publicist for Lucasfilm and the Head of Feature Film Publicity at Pixar for the first “Incredibles” and “Cars.”

For her outstanding work as a cannabis advocate, Amy T. Margolis was granted the 2018 Leadership Award. Margolis is the founder of the Oregon Cannabis Association, which is one of the largest trade organizations in the cannabis industry.

Most recently, Margolis was also named by Cannabis Business Executive (CBE) as one of the 2017’s 100 Most Powerful Political People in Cannabis and one of the 50 Most Important Women in Cannabis in both 2016 and 2017.

Taking the prize for Advocate of the Year was Wanda James. As an outspoken political voice and serial entrepreneur, James has been honored by High Times Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in Cannabis and was also named as one of the 50 Most Important Women in the Cannabis Industry by CBE.

Emily Paxhia, co-founder and Managing Partner of Poseidon Asset Management, was named IPW’s Investor of the Year. Throughout her career, Paxhia has reviewed thousands of cannabis companies and has always taken the time to uplift promising female entrepreneurs by helping them shape their pitch preparations, go-to-market strategies/ product launches, and advised on day-to-day business operations.

Taking the Industry Power Women top honor of 2018 Business Woman of the Year was Jessica Billingsley. Billingsley is the Co-Founder and CEO of MJ Freeway Business Solutions; a technology company that provides software solutions to cannabis firms, as well as small-business, consulting services and application license support. In addition to her entrepreneurial accomplishments, Billingsley has also been named to Fortune Magazine’s list of Top 10 Most Promising Women Entrepreneurs.

Following the ceremony, many of the attendees would later recount with exuberance how empowered the event made them feel. For many, this event stood out as one of the few places where they could be with other women and talk about their trade. In an industry that continues to be dominated by men, that matters; and it only serves to highlight the continued relevance, and need, for ceremonies like the Industry Power Women Awards.

Healthy Cannabis Market on the Rise Sees Q2 Index Rises 20% after Q1 fell 21%

New York City – July 12, 2018 /AxisWire/ The Green Market Report (GMR), the cannabis industry’s most trusted source for credible in-depth financial and economic reporting, today released its 2018 Cannabis Company Index Q2 Summary Report. The report can be downloaded at GreenMarketReport.com/Reports.

The GMR Index follows the trading activity of 30 selected public cannabis companies that denote market dominance. After falling 21.9% in the first quarter, based on uncertainty surrounding the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Attorney General Jeff Sessions decision to rescind the Cole Memo, the GMR Index found that the industry made a healthy recovery. On average, the GMR Index gained 20% in the second quarter of 2018.

However, the most encouraging move of all was the Federal Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of GW Pharmaceuticals cannabis-based drug Epidiolex. Epidiolex is derived from cannabidiol, or CBD, an active, non-psychoactive chemical compound in marijuana that reduces the frequency of seizures. Per the FDA’s approval of the CBD-based drug, the FDA has 90 days to reschedule CBD down to Schedule II or III from Schedule I.

“The second quarter of 2018 has been much kinder to cannabis industry stocks as share prices recovered from the sell off at the beginning of the year. Bigger and stronger cannabis companies are listing on the Canadian markets and on major U.S. stock exchanges which are giving investors more selection and choice,” stated Debra Borchardt, CEO of Green Market Report.

The best performing stock in the GMR Index was CV Sciences Inc. which rose 238% as it reported strong revenue increases and retired debt. This rise was a pattern followed by many of the other stocks in the GMR Index. Solid performances were rewarded by shareholders picking up more stock.

The biggest loser in the GMR Index was Isodiol International with a loss of 55% in its share price. Many of the Index’s poorest performing stocks are some of the earliest cannabis stocks in the market. Early investors, likely growing weary of stock dilution, are turning to new and stronger entrants into the cannabis publicly traded stock market.

Like these investors, the GMR Index is opting to include new names that have much to offer versus older companies that haven’t been able to deliver as promised. For example, 22nd Century Group primarily focuses on tobacco and not cannabis so it was removed; Invictus MD Strategies was removed due from the GMR Index due to poor performance.

The Green Organic Dutchman and MedMen Enterprises both show that despite setting out on differing business objectives, their ability to raise millions in the market has put them in a position to experience continued growth. While The Green Organic Dutchman is pursuing an international strategy, MedMen is focusing on the high trafficked tourist locations in the U.S. GMR is looking forward to watching these companies grow and mature.

“Looking ahead to the third quarter, expectations are running high that a change of some sort could be imminent in regards to the classification of cannabis in the Controlled Substances Act.” added Borchardt. “While we can’t predict what that change will be, it will easily be an improvement over the current situation. Also, there are a number of strong cannabis companies in the IPO pipeline, meaning that Q3 will be a tremendously exciting time as they enter the market.”
