Recent Legislative Victories Push CBD Into Mainstream Markets

NEW YORK, April 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the years, government health agencies have approved thousands of different drugs to treat a variety of conditions while hundreds of illegal drugs circulated the globe. International agencies and local governments alike tried to stamp out the plethora of drugs and had included cannabis in the widespread prohibition. However, that decision has now turned out to have been premature, as the cannabis plant has recently become a global phenomenon thanks to its therapeutic effects. Researchers have since shown that cannabis can treat certain medical conditions which include chronic pain, cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, anxiety, and even depression. To date, a handful of countries have already fully legalized medical cannabis while others remain countries hesitant on approving cannabis as a medicine even though the plant's derivative, CBD or cannabidiol, is generally more accepted. CBD does not offer consumers psychoactive effect like its counterpart, marijuana, as the derivative's chemical structure has certain differences. As more research adds credibility, CBD continues to have a profound impact on the North American region, in large part because of the U.S. and Canada. For example, the U.S. has already approved a CBD-based drug, Epidiolex, to be used to treat epilepsy among children. Furthermore, the U.S. had also passed the U.S. Farm Bill in late 2018, essentially legalizing CBD throughout the nation. Canada then moved to legalize cannabis entirely in 2018 and has continued its growth since. Although cannabis is legal, Canada's government has imposed strict regulations on how many licenses are provided and how the operations of cannabis companies are handled. Even while the cannabis industry is still rapidly growing, the CBD marketspace has stood out: according to data compiled by Brightfield Group, the U.S. CBD market is expected to reach USD 22 Billion by 2022.

CBD has many versatile uses besides its medical applications. Consumers within the health and wellness and even beauty industry are increasingly becoming aware of CBD and its benefits. For instance, within the health and wellness marketplace, consumers can find CBD-based creams which treat skin conditions. Furthermore, CBD also comes in other forms such as flower, oils, and tinctures to satisfy a variety of consumer's demands. As the CBD industry continues to grow, new products like beverages and foods can also be seen emerging. "A few years ago almost no one knew what hemp-derived CBD was, it was sold by mostly small brands of tinctures online and through head shops. All of a sudden, CBD is everywhere - it is both a trendy, new ingredient in drinks, face creams and pet treats and an answer to the prayers of so many people suffering from medical conditions ranging from epilepsy to anxiety and chronic pain. It rides the waves of so many global food and health trends, as a substitute for opioids, towards more natural health alternatives and functional ingredients," said Bethany Gomez, Managing Director at Brightfield Group.

AREV Brands International Ltd. AREV is currently listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker AREV. Yesterday, the Company announced that it, "has worked closely with Silvertree Investments of Los Angeles, California over the past year. "Silvertree" has been actively researching, identifying and developing a strategy for AREV Brands USA Inc. to enter into the California market. A process that has involved very extensive due diligence and networking.

This lengthy process has resulted in Silvertree identifying and commencing negotiations with principle license holders in Los Angeles, King City, Long Beach, California City, San Diego and Pasadena. The mandate is to enter into 50/50 partnerships with the license holders who will continue to operate and join our network of licenses in the State.

This plan would create a select group of license holders that link with each other to form the largest alliance and network of cultivation, processing, manufacturing and distribution organization south of San Francisco in the State of California.

The combined license holders would gain access to the inside (two) cover pages in High Times Magazine and access to the seed vault owned by BC Bud Depot, a wholly owned asset of AREV. The High Times ad space drives traffic and customers to the BC Bud Depot website which in turn will direct orders to the licensed partner in the customer's county that the license holder serves.

BC Bud Depot supplies the genetics to the partners which ensures consumers receive quality products from a trusted and reliable source. AREV will work with the license holders of extraction licenses and Alternative Extracts Inc. to bring proprietary extraction to the network.

The company has issued 800,000 shares to settle $200,000.00 in debt with Silvertree. These costs were incurred in the normal course of business associated with the consulting work discussed above. The company also announces it has settled $32,326.88 in debt with 0991843 BC LTD. by the issuance of 129,307 shares all shares for debt are being issued at $0.25. This issuance is for the acquisition of two-piece encapsulation equipment, a 1000 litre ribbon blender and a tea bag machine. This equipment is in addition to the recently acquired softgel system the company owns and compliments the production equipment to be installed in the Sorrento processing facility due to be completed by the fall of 2019.

Mike Withrow, CEO stated, "We continue to methodically build on our strategy of providing the Cannabis industry with superior genetics, extraction, and formulations that are produced and sold via licensing partnerships on an International platform. To accomplish this, we are only working with seasoned professionals in the Cannabis industry. We are also very carefully managing our capital and share structure when deals are being structured."
