John Bolton’s explosive new book, COVID-19 spikes in these three states and meet Kim Jong Un’s enforcer – NBC News

Posted: June 24, 2020 at 10:53 pm

Good morning, NBC News readers.

Former national security adviser John Bolton's scathing new book raises a slew of new allegations against President Donald Trump, including a claim that he employs "obstruction of justice as a way of life." As the book got into the hands of reporters, the Justice Department asked a judge to immediately block its publication.

Here's what we're watching this Thursday morning.

President Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to agree to trade policies that would help with his re-election in November, according to Bolton's new memoir.

The much-anticipated, 494-page book paints in copious detail a devastating portrait of an erratic, ill-informed president who sees the Justice Department as his personal tool, prioritizes his own interests above all else, including the country, and myopically processes every decision through the lens of how it might affect his re-election chances.

Multiple tell-all books have emerged from the Trump White House, but this one has a different heft.

Bolton is a known bureaucratic infighter who worked for four Republican presidents, has been a Fox News contributor and a fixture in hawkish GOP foreign policy doctrine for decades. He also spent 519 days inside the Trump White House.

Trump has already called the allegations lies and accused Bolton of publishing classified information in the book, which is due out Tuesday.

On Wednesday night, the Justice Department pulled out all the stops to prevent its publication.

The DOJ filed an emergency application for a temporary restraining order and a motion for an injunction to prevent publication. The department is asking for a hearing Friday, just days ahead of the scheduled release.

The former Atlanta police officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks in the parking lot of a Wendy's restaurant has been charged with felony murder, the district attorney's office announced Wednesday.

The man, Garrett Rolfe, who was fired by the Atlanta Police Department after the June 12 shooting, faces 11 total counts, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said at a news conference.

Howard said that after the shooting, Rolfe said, "I got him." A second officer stood on Brooks' body as he was lying on the ground and Rolfe kicked him, according to the district attorney.

Florida, Texas and Arizona set records for new COVID-19 cases, and more than a dozen other states are also reporting big jumps in the number of cases as much of the country reopens after months of quarantine.

Are the governors in the worst-hit states considering another shutdown? Not a chance, if you ask them.

Let our news meet your inbox. The news and stories that matters, delivered weekday mornings.

"No, were not shutting down, you know, were going to go forward," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday. "You have to have society function."

The map of America's coronavirus outbreak looks very different now than it did in May.

Cases have declined in 22 states over the last two weeks, particularly in some areas that were hard-hit this spring, such as New York and New Jersey.

But at least 20 states in the southern and western United States have seen case counts soar.

Check out our map that tracks case counts state-by-state.

Wait til you meet his enforcer, his kid sister.

Kim Jong Un's little sister, who called South Koreans "human scum" last week, is taking a more public and bellicose role in North Korea's leadership.

U.S. intelligence officials and other North Korea-watchers are scrambling to learn more about Kim Yo-jong as they assess her recent rise to prominence amid the collapse of the Trump administration's North Korea diplomatic gambit.

Meet "Karen" in this THINK video. Her viral rants aren't just cringeworthy. They're dangerous.

The GOLO Diet: What it is and can it help you lose weight?

Looking for a home security system? Here are the best ones, according to experts.

"Seasteaders" are having a moment.

The seasteading community has for years pushed the futuristic idea that living in independent, human-made communities on the ocean is the way to move society forward. And what better time than during a pandemic.

If we lived under water in isolation or in our small groups, and were down there for extended periods of time, we wouldnt have to worry about the coronavirus, Adam Jewell, co-host of the Colonize the Ocean podcast, said on a recent episode.

Some seasteaders advocate for building underneath the water, while others go for above.

Wacky or innovative? You decide!

COVID illuminates global inequalities in workers’ rights and working conditions – University of Birmingham

Posted: at 10:51 pm

Humans should not be exploited as disposable resources and commodities. Coronavirus shows why we must democratize work globally and collectively strengthen workers rights and working conditions.

There are wide global variations in country responses to COVID-19, both in public health responses, and mitigating economic damage (protecting jobs, incomes, and safety standards). It is significant that the number of deaths and economic damage are highest in countries with right-wing populist governments like Brazil, India, UK, and US, who responded slowly due to COVID denial.

Some are more equal than others in the global economy. COVID-19 has starkly revealed global inequalities in workers rights and working conditions. Inequalities are most acute in less developed countries in the Global South compared to wealthier countries in the Global North.

Workers in weakly regulated informal economies in the Global South are most likely to suffer from poor working conditions, unemployment, exploitation, gender and race discrimination, child labour, and exposure to health and safety hazards, as indicated by the International Labour Organization (ILO). Migrant workers, especially, are most vulnerable to exploitation as disposable commodities.

Countries like India have very weak workers' rights, notably in the unregulated informal economy. India's Modi government has faced accusations of using COVID-19 to exploit millions of workers. Some of Indias largest states have suspended labour laws to restart the economy. Trade unions claim changes to working hours, minimum wages, and health and safety regulations weaken workers' rights at a time when resistance is difficult.

In the Arabian Gulf states, low-income migrant workers are most exposed to poor working conditions in the pandemic. In Brazil, the right-wing populist Bolsanaro government response to COVID-19 has been widely criticised, with people exposed to safety risks, and unemployment and poverty increasing.

Moreover, there are also substantial differences in workers rights and intersectional inequalities (class, gender, race) between and within countries in the generally wealthier Global North.

Workers in the United States have few employment rights, and most employers do not recognise trade unions. It is quite easy for employers to hire and fire workers, with very weak job and income protections. We are seeing this with COVID-19. Lots of US employers across different sectors are laying off workers, and unemployment has risen rapidly. Many laid-off workers are only receiving unemployment payments. Race inequalities are widespread.

Participants in a recent poll in the US ranked stronger workers rights as the top priority. Three out of four Americans said they would support workers having the right to engage in collective bargaining for salary increases, health benefits, paid sick leave, and worker safety. Indeed, grassroots trade union organising activity has increased in the US in response to COVID-19 related health and safety risks, and to demand better working conditions, job security and a real living wage.

Europe generally evidences stronger collective workers rights compared to the US, especially in Northern Europe. Many European countries are more strongly unionised than the US, albeit with significant variations between Western and Eastern Europe.

There are notable differences in labour market policy responses to COVID-19 between the US and Europe.Many European countries have responded by introducing Job Retention Schemes (JRS) to prevent redundancies, which have been negotiated with trade unions and employer groups. Furloughed workers are paid up to 80-90% of their wages while the schemes last. Germanys short-time working scheme (Kurzarbeit) is the most famous exemplar.

The problem would be if such job preservation schemes are withdrawn too abruptly, and mass redundancies proliferate.In the UK, some employers have announced mass redundancies, like British Airways, despite using the JR scheme and receiving loans. BA unions also claim that BA plans to terminate employees contracts and rehire them on new contracts with worse pay and conditions. This comes across as opportunism.

Variation in work and employment responses to COVID-19 are evident elsewhere around the world. Many Asian countries had to face the pandemic earlier than elsewhere, and South Korea is among the most successful responses. New Zealand is also portrayed as very successful.

COVID-19 and the climate crisis are shining a spotlight on the need to rethink the future global politics of work at a time when the world also faces into an economic slump. The current system of continuous global capital accumulation (neo-liberalism, free-market capitalism), accentuating unequal distribution of perpetual economic growth, is broken. Consumer capitalism, as currently configured, is destroying the planet and causing widespread human suffering among the poorest populations. It is unsustainable.

A new global politics of work is required. There needs to be international coordinated responses and redistribution of resources to improve labour protection standards in the Global South.

The ILO should be politically supported to play a stronger regulatory role in spearheading a more emancipatory and democratic global future of work. The ILOs constitutional endorsement of decent work, stipulating upon its formation in 1919 that labour should not be regarded merely as a commodity or article of commerce, should be heeded by politicians worldwide.

Unfortunately, the political will does not seem to exist currently in a world where many countries have retreated from global multilateralism to individualist protectionist nationalism. Such a beggar thy neighbour approach is especially damaging in the current existential crisis.

This does not mean we cannot present what could be done and contest the battle of ideas. Workers rights should be strengthened globally, especially collective trade union rights. There is a need to outlaw extreme precarious working conditions in global supply chains, so workers are not disposable commodities. There should be a Global Living Wage and a World Basic Income, both tailored to local circumstances.

There have been calls for a new social contract underpinning fundamental labour and human welfare rights worldwide. This could prioritise socially essential key workers in foundational economy activities (such as health and social care, housing, transport, food production and distribution, community and green projects), that keep society functioning and support human life.

This could be supported by state Job Guarantee schemes. The JG idea has gained popularity in the US, but versions have been implemented in countries like Argentina, India and South Africa.

Above all, a global Green New Deal is necessary to create new green jobs, combat climate crisis, and shift economic activity away from unsustainable extractive capitalism that continually plunders scarce planetary resources. For example, green jobs could be created through global reforestation schemes, which would also benefit the environment and eco-tourism.

I am part of a community of thousands of work and employment scholars collectively calling for democratizing work and useful employment for all. A pandemic and environmental crisis require urgent international collective mobilisation and solidarity to champion the many and not the few, and preserve life on this planet.

New LEVEL SELECT Zzz CBD Oil Drops from Kadenwood are Infused with Melatonin – TimesOfCBD

Posted: at 7:04 am

The well-known brand Level Select has added Level Zzz CBD Oil Drops, a performance line committed to customer demand for pure CBD and consumer offerings.

Kadenwood, LLC, which is a progressive seed-to-shelf CBD consumer company committed to promoting transparency and trust in the general wellness field, has today announced the release of a new Level Zzz CBD Oil Drops. The newly-launched product is a full-spectrum, and all-natural, pure CBD oil infused with melatonin.

The new 0% THC, infused CBD oil product manufactured as an answer to requests by consumers who wanted a CBD oil that could help users get a more profound and restful, restorative sleep. The CBD infused oil with melatonin is another significant addition to the list of Kadenwood, LLC's CBD oil products that come under the brand Level Select. It joins the many new CBD oil offerings of its performance-based products line.

The Broad full-spectrum CBD oil drops that are associated with the Level Zzz brand has the potential to offer users a way to relax after a long stressful day and the calming CBD benefits. They come with melatonin's sleep-enhancing properties that can help relieve general insomnia. The product contains full-spectrum CBD, which is a blend of the Kadenwood proprietary blends. For every dose, it includes 3 mg melatonin and 40 mg of CBD, in a soothing vanilla flavor.

The new all-natural Melatonin-infused CBD oil product now joins the growing lineup of LEVEL SELECTTM topical oil drops, sports creams, and CBD Roll-Ons. All of these contain the natural components of CBD oil characterized by 0% tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC free. The latter was created by Kadenwood using a unique vertically-integrated production technology modeled as seed-to-shelf.

Kadenwood's Traci Mason had this to say:

Although we take pride in keeping our commitment to maintaining the leading standards related to quality as well as potency, we are also committed to listening to our customers and positively responding to their needs.

For a time, we have received plenty of calls from customers who love our products and have used them for decades. They regularly ask for a product that would help them deal with sleep-related issues. In response to this, we took the initiative to develop a Level Zzz product, taking our quality standards and customers requests into account.

When interviewed, Eric Dickens, who is the co-founder and CEO of Kadenwood, also said:

In reality, with the new Level Zzz product, we have significantly raised the bar and perfected the existing formula to give our customers the right mix of melatonin and CBD. We are convinced this will help them achieve a restful sleep as well as unwind; certainly, both of these situations are not easy to come by in these troubled and uncertain times.

Regardless, he continued,

This product is truly a game-changer; it has the potential to calm both the mind and the body. We take much pride in this notable milestone since it showcases our ability to respond to the needs of the customers as well as innovate quickly and come up with exceptional quality products.

Notably, the new LEVEL SELECT brand's formula is a trailblazer for similar high- quality CBD products that work for personal care. This brand showcases a broad host of CBD oil products that are performance-based and which can help the users keep up with an active, healthy lifestyle. It should also cover the seemingly insignificant daily activities and spread to various areas, including competitive sports, physical exercise, travel, and other activities.

Several high-profile teams of experts participated in the latest Kadenwood production. Among these are Richard Carmona, MD, FACS, and MPH. A former surgeon who serves on the Advisory Board, providing fresh insights into set standards and best practices. His role ranges from offering guidance in internal practices as well as the applicable technological innovations.

The proprietary CBD by Kadenwood meets the highest quality and potency standards. The company is currently governed by its own agricultural and farm facilities that have set new CBD production and industry standards.

CBD is essentially a cannabis-based non-intoxicating cannabinoid. CBD is recognized as the second most prolific cannabinoid, coming in after THC or tetrahydrocannabinol. CBD is highly touted and considered rich in offering a variety of therapeutic benefits. These include analgesic benefits, anti-inflammatory, seizure suppressant, and anti-anxiety properties.

Kadenwood founded in 2019. It is a privately-run company that works in the consumer products lifestyle space. Kadenwood is primarily focused on matters of promoting CBD products for a safer mainstream and trusted wellness product.

To make this a success, Kadenwood is backed with decades of experience dealing in category innovation, CPG marketing, industry-leading, and integrated CBD farming. This experience is what guarantees the production of quality non-THC carrying CBD oil related to the seed-to-shelf type.

Kadenwood introduced its first LEVEL SELECT personal care branded products in 2019. To find out more on Kadenwood and Lever Select's new all-natural Melatonin-infused CBD oil, visit the official website here.

How can CBD make the most of your summer? – The GrowthOp

Posted: at 7:04 am

CBD can help with providing an effective option for things ranging from skincare to relaxation amidst all the stress during COVID-19.

With everything thats going on, this summer will be different.

To make the most of it and find activities that are fun and fulfilling, well have to go past our comfort zones. But due to social distancing guidelines and the slowdown of many businesses, theres a lot of opportunity for activities this year.

CBD can help make the most of the summer, from providing an effective option for skincare to helping to relax amidst all the stress during COVID-19.

There are plenty of brands and types of CBD skincare available in the U.S., from those focused on beauty to products that can help treat acne and oily skin. Although theres not much research on CBD and its effect on sunburns, the compound has been found to be effective in treating inflammation and pain, two side effects of serious sunburns. There are also reports of being able to use CBD oil to treat bug bites, managing pain, itchiness and inflammation.

Its very important to stay hydrated during the summer, especially if youre planning on staying active. The more a person moves and sweats, the more water and hydration that will be needed. CBD drinks could provide a fun option. In the U.S., these come in different flavours and formats, such as energy drinks and water, all potentially helping with treating the pain and inflammation from workouts while also helping to cope with symptoms such as anxiety.

Whether trying to have an intense workout session or looking for some help with focusing on work or any other tasks you need to complete, CBD can help. Oil, tinctures, strips and many other CBD products have been reported to help control anxious thoughts while preventing lethargy.

If relaxing and unwinding are among your summer plans, CBD can likely assist with that, too. CBD oils can play a subtle yet important role that grows more effective over time. Regular exposure is said to help with managing heart rate, racing thoughts and unstable patterns of sleep.

Defining the Differences: CBD Topicals – Detroit Metro Times

Posted: at 7:04 am

Here is a simple breakdown of what topical labels actually mean. You might be surprised to see that the differences are minimal and mostly circulate the base used for the topical. One thing to pay attention to when buying CBD topicals is the milligram amount of CBD or other cannabinoids present, this is the active portion of the topical and will provide the affects you are looking for depending on potency. Always trust CBD companies that have third-party lab test results to ensure the quality of the CBD product you are purchasing.

CBD Balm

Balms are a common topical in the health world, typically used for sore muscles. Balms are usually the hardest of CBD topicals because they have a high ratio of beeswax or other base. Balms are perfect for massaging into the skin, great for soreness relief. CBD balms can be a great option for athletes as part of their recovery process.

CBD Lotion The main difference between CBD lotions and all other topicals is the ratio of water to base. With CBD lotion, also known as CBD cream, there is a bit of water and moisturizing agents in the base, while balms and salves primarily use fatty oils and wax without water. CBD lotions and creams absorb into the skin rapidly and can deliver quick results.

CBD Salve

CBD salves are very similar to CBD balms, with the man difference being a slight texture change. Salves are a bit softer than balms, making them easier to rub into the skin. Because salves have a more pliable texture than a balm, they absorb faster into the skin to deliver effects. Similarly, CBD salves are different from ointments or lotions mostly due to texture.

CBD Ointment

An ointment can have many uses, whether it's medicinal or cosmetic. CBD ointments are usually the smoothest, most oily of CBD topicals. Because ointments are more oil based, they can have high concentrations of CBD. Typically the oil to water ratio is 80/20, so ointments make a good choice for pain relief and especially for moisture.

CBD skin care products are said to help with inflammation, chronic pain, acne, psoriasis and many other ailments and skin issues. Especially among seniors with aged or thinned skin, a CBD topical can be a great asset to a skincare routine. Most topicals are THC free, but be sure to always double check the label for the product you are purchasing. CBD topicals can generally be applied to the skin liberally and wont cause any psychoactive effects. For general health many people opt for an oral method of consumption, but if you are new to the world of CBD and looking to treat a skin condition or want topical pain relief, a balm, salve, lotion or ointment is a great place to start.

What Are the Benefits of CBD Cream? – The African Exponent

Posted: at 7:04 am

You dont need us to tell you that CBD is everywhere. You can ingest it, drink it, eat it, vape it, and even apply it to your skin in the form of CBD cream. Although there is still a lot to be learned about this fascinating compound, fans claim that it has some pretty impressive benefits.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is just one of the multiple active ingredients found in the marijuana plant, and when extracted and purified, it can be used in several different ways to treat a number of different health issues. While there are several ways to use and administer CBD, we will be focusing on the use of CBD topical cream for a variety of issues.

CBD cream is known to be highly effective for treating skin conditions like eczema and acne. Its also known to be particularly beneficial when it comes to managing pain.

Top Benefits of CBD Cream

When topicals are applied directly to the skin, they have the potential to benefit not only the service of the skin but also below the skin. Topical CBD products penetrate both the dermal and subdermal layers of the skin.

The human body has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that regulates pain, mood, appetite, and pleasure sensations. Cannabinoids, like CBD, interact with the ECS to have an effect on these various systems. This is how CBD works to have a beneficial impact on our bodies. Here are a few of the main benefits of CBD cream.

CBD Cream for Pain Management

Much research that has been done on CBD involves its use as a pain-reliever. CBD cream is often used to treat a specific area of the body in which you are experiencing pain. If you use CBD oil for a sore muscle, you will feel general pain relief throughout the entire body, but its unlikely that the muscle pain itself will disappear.

On the contrary, if you apply a CBD topical cream, like the CBD cream from Premium Jane, directly to a sore muscle, the full pain-relieving effects of CBD will focus on that specific area.

It can be compared to using a muscle relaxant or aspirin for sore muscles versus getting a massage. With aspirin, you will get generalized pain relief throughout the body, but your actual sore muscle may still be tight and painful. A massage, on the other hand, focuses on the muscles until they are relaxed and pain-free. CBD creams are like massages because they target a specific area.

CBD Cream for Eczema

Eczema is a serious skin condition that requires special care. Research suggests that CBD cream may be beneficial in the treatment of eczema.

Its an inflamed condition of the skin that can occur as a result of one or more triggers that lead to flares. Its impossible to avoid eczema. However, CBD may help to reduce topical inflammatory levels and lead to fewer flare-ups or outbreaks.

CBD Cream for Arthritis

Animal studies suggest that CBD has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Inflammation occurs when the body is fighting a perceived infection. With autoimmune diseases, like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), the immune system attacks healthy parts of the body, like the joints.

CBD is believed to work on pain in two parts of the body; the central nervous system and the site of soreness (such as the wrist joints), which sends pain signals to the brain when certain stimulation or damage to cells and nerves are detected.

Anecdotal reports from those who incorporate CBD topical cream into their arthritis treatment are positive. Check out Premium Jane to find high-quality CBD topicals.

CBD Cream for Wrinkles

CBD is proving to be a natural and safe ingredient that actually helps to moisturize the skin, heal it, and provide anti-aging benefits. When it comes to wrinkles, CBD may help to stimulate and balance oil production. Fine lines and wrinkles are more visible on dry skin, which means that increased oil production can reduce their appearance.

CBD Cream for Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that can be identified by patches of abnormal skin. CBD topical creams can help to ease the condition by reducing inflammation and slowing down skin cells growth.

Anecdotal reports suggest that for dermatological issues, like eczema and psoriasis, CBD may be effective at decreasing irritation, flare-ups, and associated discomfort.

The Next Chapter in the CBD Story (YCBD, NEPT, MCTC, CVSI, CWBHF) – MMJObserver – MMJ Observer

Posted: at 7:04 am

The growth story around cannabinoids such as CBD is well documented over the past couple years. The key dynamic is a mainstreaming process as CBD and other cannabinoid-based products develop from a tiny niche market to a multi-billion-dollar global juggernaut.

According to Grand View Research, the global cannabidiol market was valued at USD 4.6 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2% from 2019 to 2025. The demand for cannabidiol (CBD) for medical and wellness purposes is high due to its healing properties, which is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Moreover, growing product adoption and utilization owing to government approvals is a major factor anticipated to drive the demand for cannabidiol infused products.

However, one must also take into account the potential for other exotic cannabinoids to become serious commercial market assets. At this point, we havent seen the means operationalized to turn that corner for anything other than CBD and THC. But one company discussed below Cannabis Global Inc. (OTCMKTS:MCTC) has shown promising signs of success here, and it may license applicable technology to the others. So, this factor must be considered in forward projections.

Overall, the exotic cannabinoids may be the next chapter in this story.

Today, we take a close look at a handful of active stocks in the cannabinoid space, including: cbdMD Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:YCBD), Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:NEPT), MCTC Holdings Inc (OTCMKTS:MCTC) aka Cannabis Global Inc. (OTCMKTS:MCTC), CV Sciences Inc (OTCMKTS:CVSI), and Charlottes Web Holdings Inc (OTCMKTS:CWBHF).

cbdMD Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:YCBD) recently announced its financials for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company reported net sales of $9.4 million, a year-over-year quarterly increase of approximately 67%, as well as a significant shift in online sales as an overall percentage of net sales, with direct to consumer e-commerce online sales reporting 72% of overall sales, up from 67% from the prior quarter.

It was solid data set and the note was obviously a precursor of likely even more dramatic shifts to come as the coronavirus pandemic set the tone from March forward.

cbdMD Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:YCBD) promulgates itself as a company that produces and distributes various cannibidiol (CBD) products.

It owns and operates the consumer hemp-based CBD brand, cbdMD. The companys product categories include CBD tinctures, capsules, gummies, bath bombs, topical creams, and animal treats and oils. It also offers pet related CBD products under the Paw CBD brand name.

The company distributes its products through an e-commerce Website, wholesalers, and various brick and mortar retailers in the United States.

And the stock has been acting well over recent days, up something like 19% in that time.

cbdMD Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:YCBD) generated sales of $9.4M, according to information released in the companys most recent quarterly financial report. That adds up to a sequential quarter-over-quarter growth rate of -7.4% on the top line. In addition, the company has a strong balance sheet, with cash levels far exceeding current liabilities ($14.9M against $5.8M).

Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:NEPT) just announced an expansion of its branded hand sanitizer product line.

According to the release, developed by Neptune Health & Wellness Innovations, in partnership with International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), the expanded product line consists of six new scented varieties, including Garden Mint, Fresh Linen, Orange Hibiscus, Eucalyptus, Fresh Lemon & Tea Tree , and Lavender. Neptunes products are natural, plant-based sanitizers made with a specialized blend of essential oils, aloe vera and fruit extract.

Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:NEPT) frames itself as a company that operates as a health and wellness products company. The company operates through two segments, Nutraceutical and Cannabis.

The Nutraceutical segment offers turnkey solutions, such as raw material sourcing, formulation, quality control, and quality assurance for omega-3 and hemp-derived ingredients under different delivery forms, including softgels, capsules, and liquids.

The Cannabis segment provides extraction and purification services from cannabis and hemp biomass. The company also offers formulation and manufacturing solutions for value added product forms, such as tinctures, sprays, topicals, vapor products, edibles, and beverages. It offers its products under the Forest Remedies and Ocean Remedies brand.

Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:NEPT) generated sales of $9.5M, according to information released in the companys most recent quarterly financial report. That adds up to a sequential quarter-over-quarter growth rate of 3.9% on the top line. In addition, the company is battling some balance sheet hurdles, with cash levels struggling to keep up with current liabilities ($16.6M against $17.2M, respectively).

The company has a strategic collaboration with International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. to co-develop hemp-derived CBD products for the United States market.

The context for this announcement is a bit of a bid, with shares acting well over the past five days, up about 15% in that timeframe. NEPT shares have been relatively flat over the past month of action, with very little net movement during that period.

MCTC Holdings Inc (OTCMKTS:MCTC), now doing business as Cannabis Global, Inc. (MCTC), just announced the expansion of its Project Varin research and development effort to include Cannabinol (CBN), under the umbrella of patent pending polymeric nanoparticle and nanofiber technologies developed for Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THC-V).

As noted above, this company appears to be generally ahead of the pack in terms of developing actual resources to commercialize in the exotic cannabinoid space.

According to its release last week, the first stage of Project Varin produced high load particles of pure THC-V, allowing the Company to now move into production of commercial quantities. As part of this second phase, CBN has been added to the production protocol.

The addition of CBN to the Project Varin production schedule is an important test of our internally developed technologies, commented Arman Tabatabaei, CEO of the Company. We believe the production parameters developed for THC-V will apply to CBN and other manufactured cannabinoids and we will be testing this premise on our currently scheduled manufacturing run. This will be an important test of the flexibility of our manufacturing process and if successful should allow us low cost leadership over a variety of rare cannabinoids.

Cannabinol, the company notes, is found in trace amounts in hemp plants and is often found in aged hemp. Unlike most cannabinoids, the release goes on to say, CBN does not stem directly from cannabinol (CBN), but occurs as cannabis is exposed to air or ultraviolet light for an extended period of time.

While not as rare or as difficult to obtain as THC-V, CBN is still priced at a significant premium to more commonly found cannabinoids, such as CBD. Therefore, the production of high load polymeric nanoparticles based on the Companys breakthrough technology solutions could yield considerable flexibility and cost savings when it comes to producing new cannabinoid-based products using CBN.

CV Sciences Inc (OTCMKTS:CVSI) bills itself as a company that operates two distinct business segments: a drug development division focused on developing and commercializing novel therapeutics utilizing synthetic CBD; and, a consumer product division focused on manufacturing, marketing and selling plant-based CBD products to a range of market sectors.

CV Sciences, Inc. has primary offices and facilities in San Diego, California and Las Vegas, Nevada.

CV Sciences Inc (OTCMKTS:CVSI) managed to rope in revenues totaling $8.3M in overall sales during the companys most recently reported quarterly financial data a figure that represents a rate of top line growth of -44.5%, as compared to year-ago data in comparable terms. In addition, the company is battling some balance sheet hurdles, with cash levels struggling to keep up with current liabilities ($7.6M against $12.5M, respectively).

Moreover, CV Sciences, Inc. operates as a life science company. It operates through two segments, Specialty Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Products. The company focuses on developing and commercializing prescription drugs utilizing synthetic cannabidiol (CBD) as the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Its initial drug candidate is CVSI-007 that combines CBD and nicotine for the treatment of smokeless tobacco use and addiction.

CV Sciences Inc (OTCMKTS:CVSI) also engages in the development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of consumer products containing plant-based CBD under the PlusCBD Oil name in various market sectors, including nutraceutical, beauty care, specialty foods, and vape.

CVSI has had a rough past week of trading action, with shares sinking something like -6% in that time. That said, chart support is nearby and we may be in the process of constructing a nice setup for some movement back the other way. Over the past month, shares of the stock have suffered from clear selling pressure, dropping by roughly -43%.

Charlottes Web Holdings Inc (OTCMKTS:CWBHF) has been a leader in terms of brand development in the CBD space for the past couple years. It would be interesting if the company were to start pushing for an expansion beyond CBD and into the exotic cannabinoids.

Given its strength of brand recognition and the size of its distribution footprint, it would make an interesting vehicle for mobilizing additional cannabinoid marketplace products. So, perhaps, stay tuned.

Charlottes Web Holdings Inc (OTCMKTS:CWBHF) bills itself as a company that develops and distributes hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) wellness products. Its products include CBD hemp oils, capsules, topicals, and pet products that feature CBD hemp oil extracts.

The company sells its products online as well as through distributors, and brick and mortar retailers.

Founded by the Stanley Brothers, the Companys premium quality products start with proprietary hemp genetics that are responsibly manufactured into whole plant hemp extracts naturally containing a full spectrum of phytocannabinoids, including CBD, terpenes, flavonoids and other beneficial hemp compounds. Industrial hemp products are non-intoxicating.

Charlottes Web Holdings Inc (OTCMKTS:CWBHF) generated sales of $28.9M, according to information released in the companys most recent quarterly financial report. That adds up to a sequential quarter-over-quarter growth rate of -4.2% on the top line. In addition, the company has a strong balance sheet, with cash levels far exceeding current liabilities ($75.5M against $42.2M).

Charlottes Web current product categories include tinctures (liquid products), capsules, topical, as well as pet products. Charlottes Web hemp-based whole plant extracts are sold through select distributors, brick and mortar retailers, and online through the Companys website.

In total, over the past five days, shares of the stock have dropped by roughly -5% on above average trading volume. All in all, not a particularly friendly tape, but one that may ultimately present some new opportunities.

American Green (ERBB:OTC) Borrows Over 70% Less During the Past 12 Months Than the Previous 12 Months – GlobeNewswire

Posted: at 7:04 am

PHOENIX, AZ, June 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- American Green(ERBB:OTC) announced today that the amount the company needed to borrow in order to sustain itself during its development period dropped over 70% when compared to the previous four-quarter period. In the past 12 months, starting April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020, the company borrowed a total of $450,000, compared to the $1,668,300 needed during the previous 12-month period between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019, representing a reduction in borrowing of over 70%.

According to David Gwyther, American Greens president, This will mean the company and our shareholders can expect significantly less debt conversions that were the result of needing to borrow for operations. This reduction in borrowing should slow the rate at which shares converted from loans will add to American Greens total outstanding shares.

Some of the reasons that the company is requiring less outside money is due to its recent expansion of Sweet Virginia, the licensed 12,000 sq ft facility in Phoenix where the company grows premium cannabis for the Arizona licensed dispensary marketplace. Also, shareholders can credit the growth ofAmerican Greens CBD Storewhich is expected to turn in its best year to date in both sales and profits. Also, American Green is on track to sell more AGM vending kiosks in 2020 than in all previous years.

If you are an experienced vending route operator serving a major market and wish to add a complete line of fully legal CBD products to your existing route, you should contact Mr. Lindel Creed at American Greens AGM Vending Division located in Gastonia, North Carolina.
