Who won? It\u2019s pretty clear: Cannabis, Hemp, and CBD.<\/p>\n
The sticky plant was legalized on all grounds in Arizona, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota. The most important piece of this story is really about the crossover along cultural lines \u2013 three of these four states qualify as canaries in the coalmine for national legalization by extrapolation as the cannabis plant becomes accepted and mobilized around product development and distribution on a mainstream, bipartisan basis.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just a matter of time.<\/p>\n

In addition, the company has a strong balance sheet, with cash levels far exceeding current liabilities ($15.1M against $4.4M).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cannabis Global Inc (OTCMKTS:CBGL)<\/strong> continues to make progress. This is one of the most interesting names in the CBD space given its strong IP backing \u2013 with more than a half dozen provisional patents in process at the USPTO \u2013 and its innovative movement toward non-CBD cannabinoid production technology.<\/p>\n This includes beverages, a range of CBD products, explorations into exotic cannabinoids, and its line of Hemp You Can Feel™ products, which now include both alcohol substitute cocktail mixers and a range of infused sweeteners.<\/p>\n Cannabis Global Inc (OTCMKTS:CBGL) recently announced the filing of a new patent application resulting from its Project Varin research program. The application addresses new methods for the creation of highly bioavailable and ultra-fast acting cannabinoids for use in beverages, food, topical, and other applications. The non-provisional application expands on the developments and technologies outlined in the provisional applications that were filed on November 4, 2019.<\/p>\n According to the release, the Company believes this technology is revolutionary, holding the potential to rewrite the efficacy and cost equations in the cannabis industry. Additionally, the technology will allow for significantly faster onset of active cannabinoids ingredients, which are expected to be experienced in minutes, versus oftentimes in hours for current generations of cannabinoid infusion technologies.<\/p>\n “We believe what we have created is highly significant to the cannabis industry, especially as nationwide cannabis legalization looms on the horizon,” commented Arman Tabatabaei, CEO of Cannabis Global. “This new cannabinoid delivery system is designed to allow beverage, food, and cosmetic product formulators to use significantly less cannabinoids in products while achieving similar or meaningfully greater efficacy. Our patent filing covers not only the new processes developed to create the new forms of cannabinoids but also the nanoparticles and nanofibers using the outlined processes and ingredients. We are especially proud of the fact we have been able to use food-grade ingredients in many of the formulations allowing consumer product companies to produce the clean labels consumers are increasingly desiring.”<\/p>\n If you’re long this stock, then you’re liking how the stock has responded to the announcement.

However, the long-term trajectory has been overpromising, underperformance, and a dilution-filled trip down the chart.<\/p>\n The company operates in the medical marijuana and industrial hemp markets. Its products range from patented and proprietary based cannabinoid products to seed and stalk or isolated high value extracts manufactured and formulated for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical industries. The company licenses its proprietary testing, genetics, labeling and packaging, tracking, production, and standardization methods for the medicinal cannabinoid industry.<\/p>\n Medical Marijuana Inc (OTCMKTS:MJNA) recently announced that the Japanese division of its subsidiary Kannaway\u00ae had its best month ever in Company history in July 2020.<\/p>\n \u201cKannaway has made tremendous progress around the world as consumers in Japan and across Asia continue to show an exciting increase in interest for cannabidiol (CBD) products,\u201d said Medical Marijuana, Inc.
