From Burgers to Beauty Products, CBD Making All Kinds of Mainstream Inroads

May 29, 2019 - Baystreet.ca


On April 20th, Carl’s Jr becomes the first major fast-food chain to sell a cannabis-infused burger. Titled “CheeseBurger Delight”, the burger will come with a “Santa Fe Sauce” infused with cannabidiol (CBD), becoming the latest mainstream offering for the non-psychoactive cannabinoid’s market that some analysts are projecting could be worth $100 billion. The rise in demand is driving a wave of companies working to cultivate and develop CBD products, including MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE:MYM) (OTC:MYMMF), Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE:CGC) (TSX:WEED), Charlotte’s Web Holdings (OTC:CWBHF) (CSE:CWEB), Green Thumb Industries (OTC:GTBIF) (CSE:GTII), and Isodiol International, Inc. (OTC:ISOLF) (CSE:ISOL).

The non-psychoactive cannabis ingredient is quickly becoming a consumer darling, and is being infused into everything from burgers, to beauty products, to even vending machines. To meet demand, the cannabis sector will require several large scale supply projects, like that of the newly announced 3,000 acre CBD-rich hemp project from a partnership involving MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE:MYM) (OTC:MYMMF) in Nevada.

The partnership project pairs with MYM’s other recent CBD-involved projects in Latin America, the first in Colombia, and the other in Mexico.

Back in late March, MYM increased its stake in Colombia Organica to 80%, on a project that comes with 3 licenses, which involve the production of cannabis derivatives, and cultivation of both psychoactive (THC) and non-psychoactive (CBD) cannabis.

In Mexico, with future legislation on deck to regulate the cannabis industry, MYM got an early start by announcing the incorporation of MYM Nutraceuticals Mexico S.A. de C.V. By setting up the company ahead of time, MYM plans to become a first-mover in Mexico’s cannabis industry , by focusing on the importation and distribution of hemp-derived CBD products.

Between all three projects, MYM is delivering on its new 2019 strategy with a heavier focus on CBD products than before, complimenting its already established plans to build some of the world’s largest cannabis cultivation green houses in Quebec and Australia. By creating strategic geographic partnerships around the world, MYM is in a prime position to take advantage of cultivating in low cost regions while distributing in high revenue regions thereby maximizing profits.

"Key additions to senior management offer an opportunity to focus the Company's efforts on new projects around the globe," says CEO of MYM Nutraceuticals, Howard Steinberg. "Our updated plan includes a targeted focus on low-cost cannabis and hemp production sites across the globe while distributing into countries with high revenue potential thereby maximizing profits."

CBD SHIFTING THE LANDSCAPE

Since the signing of the 2018 US Farm Bill, cultivating CBD-rich hemp became effectively legal at the federal level. Now the country is seeing new products available in retail locations on the horizon, and a need for additional supplies to begin development.

Along with partners Aqueous Sciences of Nevada, MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE:MYM) (OTC:MYMMF) launched a new 3,000-acre operation for the cultivation of CBD-rich hemp. Based out of Nevada on lands belonging to the Navajo Nation near the four corners area of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, the project will be operated by a newly incorporated company for the purpose of cultivating, extracting, and distributing hemp.

Together, the joint venture will consist of each party working on an exclusive basis, with each owning 50% of a newly formed company. The plan is to fulfill activities that include extraction, manufacturing and distribution of hemp-based products in compliance with Navajo Nation, USDA, FDA and FTC regulations and requirements.

Going forward, the partnership breakdown has Aqueous providing all labour, site management, and other resources as necessary to operate the business, while MYM provides expertise and support in growing procedure, import/export facilitation, access to its research and development team, and distribution.

According to an early April company announcement, MYM has further plans to expand on this CBD-based strategy. Management shared that it is currently in the midst of negotiating a number of agreements for cannabis and hemp production and distribution in North America, South America and the South Pacific.
