CBD's Intriguing Effects Maintain Product Sales Around the Globe

NEW YORK, April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Proper nutrition and wellness have become trendy topics among Millennial consumers. Nowadays, Millenials are much more proactive and health conscious than ever before as consumer trends have shown that products such as dietary supplements and functionals food are becoming increasingly sought after and desired. Moreover, with the spread of cannabis legalization, CBD-based products have also become the latest trend within the health and wellness marketspace. Due to the recent passing of the U.S. Farm Bill, consumers can now easily obtain CBD products at their local convenience stores or even online. However, many consumers are still very skeptical of using CBD despite the extensive research the industry has undergone. Clinical studies and analysis have linked CBD to the successful treatment of various health concerns as wide-ranging as acne and anxiety. Furthermore, research has also proposed that consumers are successfully using CBD for weight loss programs. The human body responds two cannabinoid receptors called the CB1 and CB2 receptors. Usually, the CB1 receptors are within the brain, while CB2 receptors are prevalent throughout the body. However, people with obesity have more CB1 receptors throughout their bodies, especially within fatty tissues. Researchers now believe that the activation of CB1 receptors can influence the body to block off, or activate, the receptors in order to aid with weight loss or other metabolic functions, according to a post by Jon Jonhson of Medical News Today, which has been reviewed by Alan Carter, Pharmacy Director at Aetna. Overall, the cannabis health and wellness marketplace is helping to further the overall industry as consumers and corporations continue to recognize and utilize the plant for its benefits. According to data compiled by Grand View Research, the global legal marijuana market was valued at USD 9.3 Billion in 2016. By 2025, the market is projected to reach USD 146.4 Billion while growing at a CAGR of 34.6%. AREV Brands International Ltd. AREV, Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. NEPT NEPT, Valens Groworks Corp.

Traditionally, most users consumed cannabis by actually smoking the flower. As such, flower sales had dominated the cannabis industry based on the product type. However, now cannabis extraction is gaining popularity and is closing in on flower sales. A cannabis extract is an oil-like substance that concentrates the THC or CBD chemical compounds of the cannabis plant into a more substantial dose. As such, consumers turn to these oils because they deliver a purer and cleaner form of the cannabis plant with less of the harmful effects associated with smoking the plant. Primarily, most consumers either vape or ingest edibles containing concentrates. A recent study by Health Canada showed that cannabis oil sales were up near 56% over flower sales in 2018 and nearly 86% compared to 2017. Moreover, cannabis extract producers can decrease their production expenses while increasing their profit when they shift from producing just flower as these producers can sell the products at a higher price point while shipping significantly less volume. "It is healthier in the sense that you're getting a purer product that's been refined off of the plant," says Darin Carpenter, Director of Cultivation for Tryke Companies. "The reason that flower is not as healthy is that you are not filtering it and might be getting tar build up."

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."
