GW Pharmaceutical 

GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:GWPH) has pushed the legalization of cannabis ahead with its work on the drug Epidiolex. Now the company is making its plans for its other cannabis drug Sativex known and it’s impressive and hopeful. 

The company is announcing its plans for its pipeline product nabiximols to the U.S. market. This strategy includes multiple opportunities for the submission of an initial New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the earliest of which could occur in 2021. 

Zynerba 

Some drugs work and at other times they don’t, which is the whole point of testing and the importance of trying to find solutions to patient conditions. Unfortunately for Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ZYNE) its latest top-line results from the 14-week pivotal CONNECT-FX (Clinical study of Cannabidiol (CBD) in Children and Adolescents with Fragile X) trial failed to produce the necessary threshold for positive results. The stock was selling off as a result of the news. 

IIP & GrowGen 

Cannabis investors remain hungry for stock as long as the company is one with solid and consistent revenue. It seems GrowGeneration Corp. (NASDAQ: GRWG) and Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (NYSE: IIPR) are two such companies. Both priced and upsized offerings today. 

HBO Max 

HBO Max has become the latest production company to use cannabis products as a marketing tool. The company is partnering with Sunderstorm’s Kanha Cannabis Infused Gummies and online cannabis marketplace Eaze to launch a collection of character-inspired CLOSE ENOUGH edibles. 

“Close Enough, is a surreal animated comedy about a married couple, their five-year-old daughter, and their two divorced best friends/roommates all living together on the east side of Los Angeles. The series is from the creator  JG Quintel, creator of the Emmy Award-winning “Regular Show” and begins streaming on July 9.

Coin Telegraph reported that Paragon Coin will face federal claims from a class-action lawsuit alleging that the firm’s $70 million ICO from 2017 violated securities laws. The website said that a Californian federal judge has certified an investor class in a lawsuit alleging that the cannabis crypto firm Paragon Coin Inc violated securities laws in its 2017 initial coin offering (ICO) that raised $70 million. Paragon Coin promoted its ‘PRG’ tokens as a currency for the cannabis industry and hired popular rapper The Game to promote the offering.
