Ocean Tomo, a part of J.S. Held Cannabis Industry Report Reveals Industry Expansion Despite Banking, Legal and Regulatory Roadblocks


News Image

The Ocean Tomo Cannabis Industry Report pairs unique insights related to the science, technology, regulatory, banking, and intellectual property considerations impacting cannabis business value.

Ocean Tomo, a part of J.S. Held, releases its Cannabis Industry Report exploring the intellectual property (IP) protection limitations, legal & banking challenges and regulatory complexity facing the Cannabis Industry. The report is available for download here: https://oceantomo.com/download-cannabis-report/.

Cannabis continues to struggle in the public markets. “Top players in the cannabis market underperformed the S&P and the Dow in 2022 and 2023, with significantly higher volatility; market uncertainty spurred by inconsistent legal status, regulations, and banking challenges are creating a challenging environment for public company performance”, noted Transaction Advisory Managing Director, Ryan Zurek.

Cannabis mergers and acquisitions (M&As) reflect challenges faced by the industry. Larger deals face mounting challenges such as rising acquisition costs, regulatory hurdles, and an overinflated market where sellers remain emotionally attached to outdated valuations. In contrast, smaller deals present opportunities for cannabis entrepreneurs to enter new markets, either geographically or through ancillary businesses. Ocean Tomo Cannabis Industry Analyst Cameron Pirochta cites industry insiders who expect to witness a surge in smaller deals within the cannabis market in 2023. He adds, “Fierce competition and a progressively challenging business climate compel cannabis entrepreneurs to consider selling their distressed businesses.”

J.S. Held compliance and receivership management technical expert Paula Durham notes, “Due to the federal illegality of cannabis, U.S. bankruptcy courts do not protect cannabis-related businesses (CRBs), making state court receiverships a viable alternative for distressed CRBs. Receiverships can address business insolvency, serve as a temporary solution during legal disputes, and provide stability while litigation proceeds or a restructuring plan is developed.”

Securing intellectual property in the cannabis industry is challenging due to federal illegality.

Despite this challenge, intellectual property has emerged as an important factor in cannabis M&As. A notable example is British American Tobacco’s recent acquisition of a nearly 20% stake in the Canadian cannabis producer Organigram for $175 million. The acquisition aims to develop core intellectual property for cannabinoid-based products and delivery systems, emphasizing the significance of product innovation and fundamental research and development (R&D) in gaining a competitive edge within the cannabis industry.

Despite federal roadblocks, cultural acceptance, expanded pharmacological use, progressive state-level deregulation, and support from Acannability, the industry’s first member-driven, direct-to-consumer, and supply chain advertising cooperative, the cannabis industry continues to expand at an impressive rate.

Daniel Principe, who oversees the Industry Reports, shares, “the Cannabis Industry report demonstrates how Ocean Tomo’s intellectual property analyses and insights can be further strengthened when paired with technical experts in the relevant industry. As our IP professionals continue to collaborate with J.S. Held technical experts, our clients and Industry Reports readers will continue to benefit.” In 2018, a series of Industry Analyst Reports were launched to provide a comprehensive look at current industry trends and deal activity. Our reports currently examine the following industries: Autonomous, Battery, Blockchain & Cryptocurrency, Cannabis, Cybersecurity, IP Licensing Companies, and Semiconductors.

Physicians to Learn How to Use the Ancient Chakra System as a Modern Diagnostic Tool to Help Heal the Body and Relieve Pain and Burnout


Using the Chakra System as a Modern Diagnostic Tool

“The Chakra system as a diagnostic tool offers physicians increased clarity about their patients, and the benefit of personally experiencing less burnout, better health, and a kinder work/home balance.” –Leonard Perlmutter

Curriculum developer and faculty director Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev), and Jenness Cortez Perlmutter will present an important lecture on “The Ancient Chakra System as a Diagnostic Tool” at the American Meditation Institute’s 12th annual Heart and Science of Yoga CME Conference 17-21, 2023 at the Equinox Resort and Spa in Manchester, Vermont. The presentation is a component of AMI’s proprietary, comprehensive training in Yoga Science as Holistic Mind/Body Medicine, which was recently found in a peer-reviewed clinical study to reduce Burnout and Stress, is accredited by the American Medical Association for 34 CME credit hours, and will be offered simultaneously in-person and virtually on Zoom.

Since 1996, Leonard and Jenness Perlmutter have taught courses on the Chakra system as holistic mind/body medicine. Their mission for the past 27 years has been to unite Eastern philosophy with Western medical science. The Perlmutters are direct disciples of Swami Rama of the Himalayas––the medical pioneer who, in 1970, under laboratory conditions at the Menninger Institute in Topeka, Kansas, demonstrated that blood pressure, heart rate and the autonomic nervous system can be voluntarily controlled. These research demonstrations have been one of the major cornerstones of the modern mind/body medicine movement.

Commenting on the effectiveness of the Chakra system, Leonard Perlmutter states that, “by employing the ancient Chakra system as a diagnostic tool in their own lives, physicians and other medical providers can experience less burnout, better health, more creativity and kinder work/home balance. By learning to employ their knowledge of Chakra psychology (subtle emotional/mental causes of stress), physicians will be able to diagnose and treat dis-ease with greater clarity and intuitive understanding.”

This “Heart and Science of Yoga” CME conference is dedicated to providing quality, comprehensive and evidence-based education. By design, it offers a broad curriculum of Yoga Science as mind/body medicine to relieve and prevent physician burnout. In addition to the lecture on the “Chakra System as a Diagnostic Tool,” topics at this year’s conference will include instruction on AMI Meditation, Epigenetics, mantra science, yoga psychology, resiliency, mind function optimization, food as medicine, Ayurveda, easy-gentle yoga, lymph system detoxification, and a physician panel discussion which will share how other healthcare providers have successfully incorporated Yoga Science tools into their own medical practice and home life.

The dedication, enthusiasm, and teaching methodology of the entire AMI faculty create a dynamic and interactive course for their students. Each faculty member is committed to the advancement and training of Yoga Science as holistic mind/body medicine. In addition to Leonard Perlmutter and Jenness Cortez Perlmutter, other presenters include: Mark Pettus MD, board certified internist and nephrologist and Director of Medical Education and Population Health of Berkshire Health Systems; Kristin Kaelber MD, PhD, board certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics; Renee Rodriguez-Goodemote, MD, Medical Director of the Saratoga Hospital Community Health Center; Anthony Santilli MD, board certified in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine; Jesse Ritvo MD, Assistant Medical Director, Inpatient Psychiatry, University of Vermont Health Center; Joshua Zamer, MD, Medical Director for Addiction Medicine at Saratoga Hospital Community Health Center and Chairman of the Department of Family Practice; Jenness Cortez Perlmutter, co-founder and faculty member of The American Meditation Institute; Anita Burock-Stotts, MD, board certified in Internal Medicine; Janine Pardo MD, board certified in Internal Medicine, and Gustavo Grodnitzky PhD, Chair of the AMI Psychological Education Committee.

Since 2009, this conference core curriculum has been endorsed by medical pioneers Dean Ornish MD, Larry Dossey MD, and Bernie Siegel MD. According to previous attendee Kristin Kaelber, MD, a board certified internist in Cleveland, Ohio, “the material presented in AMI’s CME conference represents the future of medical education. It has provided me the practical tools to be a better physician, wife, mother and friend. Anyone burdened by the stress and burnout of practicing medicine today definitely needs this wisdom.”

Rare Cannabinoid Company Launches New THCV + CBD Gummies


Rare Cannabinoid Company's Extra Strength THCV Gummies with CBD oil.

Rare Cannabinoid Company’s new, improved extra strength THCV Gummies bottles now contain 30 gummies instead of 15 and have added CBD, but cost less than before.

The addition of CBD to our high potency THCV gummies will enhance customers’ experience with this energizing, appetite suppressing cannabinoid.

Pioneering hemp brand, Rare Cannabinoid Company has launched new, improved extra strength THCV gummies. THCV is a rare cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis that acts like a stimulant, increasing focus and energy, while decreasing appetite, which may aid concentration, exercise, and weight loss.

Rare Cannabinoid Company’s THCV gummies bottles now contain 30 gummies and are sold for $99. Each gummy contains 12.5mg THCV and 10mg CBD per gummy.

Bottles used to contain 15 THCV gummies and were sold for $109. Each gummy contained 25mg THCV per gummy and zero CBD.

The brand’s gummies with THCV still contain more THCV than any others on the market, but the new formula allows people to control their dosing more precisely.

“Our gummies were so strong that we advised people to take just half to one gummy at a time and some customers told us they were only taking a quarter or one-third of a gummy, which was messy and difficult for them. Our gummies’ new strength makes it much easier for people dose them easily and correctly,” said a company spokesperson.

The addition of CBD oil was also important to the Hawaiian brand as they believe that cannabinoids work best when taken together to enhance effects.

“We strongly believe in the entourage effect and advise people to use specific rare cannabinoids to enhance their full or broad spectrum CBD base oil. However, we realized that some people prefer to have one product that does it all. By adding CBD oil to our THCV gummies, our customers can really feel the heightened effects even if they don’t consume other hemp products,” the spokesperson said.

“The addition of CBD to our high potency THCV gummies will enhance customers’ experience with this energizing, appetite suppressing cannabinoid.”

Rare Cannabinoid Company’s THCV gummies are still vegan, low in sugar, and are naturally lemon flavored.

Rare Cannabinoid Company was also the first to create a pure THCV oil tincture and one-to-one blend of THCV CBD oil with full spectrum Hawaiian CBD.

The brand offers a wide selection of CBD, THC, rare cannabinoid, and terpene oils and gummies.

“Many customers like to combine our THCV gummies with our THC Mood Gummies,” said the spokesperson.

Mood Gummies contain hemp-derived Delta-9-THC as well as CBC (cannabichromene) for mood improvement and CBD oil.

“People like how the THCV curbs the THC munchies and by combining the two, they also enjoy an energetic sativa feel akin to strains like Durban Poison and Doug’s Varin,” they said.

Those interested in trying the THC Mood Gummies can receive a coupon code for a free packet of 10 gummies ($25 value) by signing up to receive the company’s newsletter.

Rare Cannabinoid Company prides itself on offering a full apothecary of cannabinoids, including CBN products for sleep, CBG gummies and oils for discomfort, and CBDV oil for sociability. They also have premium full and broad spectrum Hawaiian CBD base oils, gummies, Pet CBD, topicals and more.

Products can be found in more than 400 stores across the United States, Asia, and South America. They can also be purchased online and shipped worldwide (apart from locations where CBD is not allowed.)

Brick-and-mortar stores interested in stocking Rare Cannabinoid Company and Hawaiian Choice products can fill out a wholesale application or get in touch at wellnessorders.com.

The webinar will address the multiple challenges faced in preparing accurate and regulated drug product information. Saner and Nijveldt will explore processes to compose drug labels, including the utilization of the structured product labeling XML format, offering an alternative process that is more accurate and faster than traditional processing methods.

“Effectively communicating drug-related information is crucial not only for the FDA but also for the drug product presence in the marketplace. This webinar aims to equip professionals with the knowledge to transform the process and ensure that the information delivered is both accurate and effective,” said Nijveldt.

The webinar is designed for a range of professionals, including drug information composition and publishing staff, drug labeling team members, regulatory affairs/operation leaders, product managers and marketing leaders, global strategy business managers, quality leaders and those involved with regulatory ad promotions.

Participants will learn about the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug information regulations, an enhanced drug information processing method and time and cost savings in revamping the composition approach.

“With the fast-paced nature of the life sciences industry, it’s essential that professionals stay updated with the latest regulations and authoring and submission methods. This webinar is a step towards that goal, providing participants with the knowledge to make informed decisions and work more efficiently,” added Saner.
