What will be the biggest game changer in cannabis cultivation in the coming years?

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 10:19:29 GMT

Some take-aways from GreenTech Amsterdam

This year's GreenTech was packed with visitors eager to experience the latest developments in the horticultural industry. It was fantastic to see the cannabis section has grown in size year after year.

The most important takeaway from this year's exhibition was the need for stable genetics. Many companies have F1 seeds and stable Tissue Culture readily available. For cannabis cultivation, this will be a game-changer. It also provides a clear picture of the industry's future path.

The huge number of cannabis production operations around the world has aided in the collection of previously unseen volumes of cannabis data. As a result, large quantities of minor cannabinoids have been discovered in some strains.

This has been done through selective breeding in GMP facilities with access to quality analytics. The data has also helped researchers better understand how to adapt existing horticulture technology to large-scale cannabis cultivation.

The cannabis industry's embrace of agricultural norms and practices is the beginning of a new epoch. There's still a long way to go, but "the art of cultivating marijuana" has come to an end, and "the science of cannabis production" has begun.

Medical Cannabis Symposium in Thailand

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 10:38:13 GMT

How fast can Thailand grow and become a global player?

May 2022, Bangkok, Thailand

After a whole week of talking to friends, strategic partners, ambassadors, growers, and potential prospects, we are even more confident Thailand has the potential to become a global player in medical cannabis, and maybe even recreational cannabis at some point.

Since last year we have been preparing to build a platform to assist companies who want to develop their business in Thailand, together with our local strategic partners. We kicked it off with a productive symposium at the Okura Bangkok, just 2 weeks ahead of changing legislation in favor of medical cannabis - perfect timing by the initiators NTCC Thailand!

GSD Alliance will also develop offtake channels and export from Thailand to the rest of the world. This reciprocal business model will develop true partnerships for all stakeholders.

If your company is cannabis-related and interested in doing business with Thailand, we would like to hear from you.

400 Years Later Tulipmania All Over Again...With CBD

Thu, 14 Apr 2022 09:40:33 GMT

CBD isolate went from €100.000 per kilo to less than €1000 per kilo, really?

In the 1600s, the term "Tulipmania" was coined in the Dutch flower market.

The Dutch tulip price exploded because of a dramatic increase in demand and the dreams of high profits in the 1630s. As a result, many opportunists attempted to enter this new lucrative market.

The market collapsed two years later as a result of overproduction and a short-lived market trend. Many people's fortunes were made during this time, and others lost.

The same has been observed in the CBD market over the last six years. #CBDisolate, which once cost €100.000 per kilo, is now available for less than €1000 per kilo

Dreams of inflated profit margins fuelled a surge in the cultivation of hemp and, later, CBD-rich cannabis flowers. This resulted in what is now referred to as the Green Rush. Many people jumped on the cannabis cultivation bandwagon in the hopes of making a fortune in an unregulated market. This resulted in overproduction and, later, an overflow of products. As mentioned, the reference to Tulipmania.

The CBD industry's development has been slowed by the numerous regulatory issues it has encountered. With many challenges ahead, some of the most significant is, for example, in Europe, the debate over whether CBD is a novel food, whereas, in the United States, it is the federal status of Cannabis.

What the future holds, no one knows precisely. One thing is sure: with the regulation and taxation, a more standardized industry will emerge.

What other industry guidelines will it follow: alcohol or medicine? What do you think?

ICBC Barcelona giving Europe a sneak peek of what's ahead

Thu, 10 Mar 2022 09:32:19 GMT

Yes, thank you Mr Belushi for showing European celebrities how it's done.

Renown actor Jim Belushi was a guest speaker at ICBC in Barcelona last week. He owns and runs a cannabis farm in Oregon USA, which is being showcased in already (!) a second season on Netflix.

Bringing greener content to the masses in Europe would accelerate destigmatization don't you think?

CBD is dead. Long live Swiss MyCell CBD.

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 09:32:19 GMT

Imagine having a CBD that works better and faster. Too good to be true?

'MyCell CBD? Never heard of it.'

But you will soon. The award winning technology basically hacks the #CBD, by making your body think it is water. As a result, the CBD gets absorbed up to 5 times faster and the #bioavailability is above 90%. So if you use #watersolubleCBD you really need a LOT less than conventional oil based CBD.

The challenge is to explain all the above to an audience that is still used to reading labels with CBD measured in % or mg, while nobody is asking the right question: how much of the CBD in the bottle ends up in my system? (hint: less than 50%)

And there are many other #nutraceuticals that can be combined, from curcumine to ginger, with a faster leadtime than any R&D department out there.

#GSDalliance and SwissPharmaCan, are developing a sales strategy to bring #MyCellCBD to the level it deserves to be: the premium tier of any self respecting brand out there.

Growing Cannabis In North-Macedonia

Fri, 30 Jul 2021 20:38:01 GMT

Over 60 licensed producers, but is the grass really greener?

Yes, it is. After a full week of meetings in Macedonia, we were blown away by the level of entrepreneurship, determination and investments in longterm cannabis projects.

The soil, the sun hours, and the progressive mindset is attracting a lot of buzz. It has every potential to become the medicinal and recreational hub for many companies.
