Canadian Cannabis Cultivators Prepare for Impending Regulatory Reforms

FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary

NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Last year, Canada legalized cannabis for adult use and the market has rapidly evolved since. In October 2018, Canada made international headlines after it became the second country ever to fully legalize cannabis, after Uruguay. Despite its complete legalization, the Canadian federal government still strictly regulates the industry and restricts many aspects of the marketplace. For example, regulators have provided limited licenses for businesses, which has resulted in fierce competition among companies vying for the legal document. Moreover, the handful of companies that have obtained licenses are only permitted to cultivate certain amounts or operate in specific jurisdictions. In turn, the regulations have caused widespread market disruptions as the limitations led to supply not keeping pace with demand. For instance, Alberta alone accounted for nearly a third of total Canadian cannabis sales, despite provinces such as Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia having a much larger population. The aforementioned province accounted for nearly 28% of the overall national cannabis sales, however, it also accounts for just 11% of Canada's total population. Now, Canada is nearing the conclusion of its first year of legalization and as a result, government officials are beginning to tone down regulations. Notably, earlier in July, the Canadian province of Ontario announced that it will provide 50 more recreational cannabis licenses by fall of this year. Moreover, later this year, regulators have hinted that a "second" wave of legalization is impending. The second legalization refers to the introduction of other cannabis-based products such as oils, tinctures, edibles, and concentrates into the Canadian markets. Now, as more solid data continues to come to light, Canada is positioned to witness immense growth in consumer spending. Furthermore, with the incorporation of the second legalization, consumer spending is expected to increase dramatically. According to data compiled by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, the legal cannabis spending in Canada is projected to grow at a CAGR of 44.4% from USD 569 Million in 20187 to nearly USD 5.2 Billion by 2024. Pasha Brands Ltd. (OTC: CRFTF) (CSE: CRFT), Sundial Growers Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL), KushCo Holdings, Inc. (OTC: KSHB), Valens GroWorks Corp. (OTC: VGWCF) (CSE: VGW), The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (OTC: SPRWF) (TSX: FIRE)

The evolving cannabis marketspace has introduced a plethora of new products to consumers. Nowadays, buyers can select from a variety of products aside from the traditional flower. However, demand for dried flower is still high despite the diversity in the marketplace. In the fourth quarter of 2018, GMP Securities analyst Martin Landry told Marijuana Business Daily that Canada's medical and recreational markets were dominated by dried flower products. Landry notes that the flower sales dominated the marketplace because of the abundance as opposed to the proliferation of other products such as extracts. However, Landry highlights that extracts can potentially eclipse dried flower sales, shifting the overall consumer demand. Despite the shift, many extracts such as oils require dried flower to be created. And while extracts are already significantly more potent than traditional flower, dried cannabis is still required in order to create a premium extract. In most cases, small cultivators grow better quality cannabis compared to large licensed producers as many engage in the cultivation of "craft cannabis." It is seen as an artisanal profession of monitoring each individual plant to ensure top-shelf quality. Aside from individually inspecting each plant, cultivators also manage and maintain optimal growing conditions within the grow house to create cannabinoid-rich buds. Moreover, craft cultivators strive to grow natural and organic cannabis by avoiding the use of artificial byproducts such as pesticides. In the end, the laborious practice of cultivating craft cannabis results in a premium and high-quality strain that stands out from the rest of the competition. "A lot of the licensed producers right now, their goal as publicly traded companies is producing the cheapest cannabis possible for the commercial market," said Lisa Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of Lifford Cannabis Solutions. "A lot of people say hand-trimmed buds is craft, so the trim is really important. If it's dense and not fluffy, it's great, and obviously, smell and flavour are factors … It's like getting a bottle of wine for thousands of dollars - there will be certain products that will fetch a premium."

Pasha Brands Ltd. (OTC: CRFTF) (CSE: CRFT) is also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker (CSE: CRFT). Earlier last month, the Company announced, "the acquisition of a national brand known as Earth Dragon Organics - a leading pre-legalization manufacturer and purveyor of small batch cannabis-infused topicals, based in British Columbia.

Since its inception in 2012, Earth Dragon Organics has typified the variety of smaller, female-led and patient-focused businesses that flourished during cannabis prohibition. Earth Dragon Organics supplied THC- and CBD-infused topical products to those seeking relief from muscle pain, arthritis, nerve pain, migraines, and multiple sclerosis, among other conditions, combining cannabis with local, organic ingredients including arnica and essential oils to harness the qualities of THC and CBD.

"Becoming part of the Pasha Brands family is a huge milestone for Earth Dragon Organics in that it will allow us to scale up and make these handmade, craft products more available to the entire country," said Tessa Serra, founder of Earth Dragon Organics and Pasha's newly hired product manager. "This partnership is a great match and I'm looking forward to the evolution that is about to take place."

The line of handmade products including balms, creams, body butters, sunscreen, bath salts and more are not currently available as all sales have ceased to prepare their entrance to the regulated framework with product manufacturing located at Pasha's licenced processing facility on Vancouver Island. Pasha has acquired all of the brand's trademarks, names and intellectual property and will re-launch the brand in the Canadian regulated market after the appropriate regulations is passed on October 17, 2019. According to the federal Canadian Cannabis Survey 2018, in the last year alone, the number of Canadians using topicals for pain relief has doubled (from seven to 14 percent).

"This is exactly the kind of business legalization has been leaving behind, and Pasha is honoured to help bring Tessa's passion for creating sustainably made, handcrafted cannabis-infused topicals into the legal market," said Patrick Brauckmann, Executive Chairman of Pasha Brands. "We're lucky to have her skillset as a product developer and manufacturer on the Pasha team, and glad we will be able to make her cherished products available again soon."

Following the passing of regulations that will enable licensed producers to make and sell edibles, extracts, and topicals, Pasha will seek provincial and territorial distribution for the brand. The company has already submitted an Earth Dragon Organics product line in an application to the Ontario Cannabis Store.
