I actually think CWEB is a deal right now. CBD health will be a big deal.
CWEB 50% off everything store wide. Today only.
This comment was about CWEB's CEO Morachnick. CWEB's CEO was running the international subsidiary of BAT that JTI bought for $5B. He continued to run they company, integrating it with JTI where they worked in 100+ countries.
CWEB's CEO is also more experienced that Irwin Simon. Ran international subsidiaries for BAT and Japan Tobacco before joining CWEB.
Fair points, and it's all bit muddled to make up the mind and pull the trigger. I am in a similar boat on CWEB and have been contemplating since yesterday. I might just jump in anyway (as I already have a decent sized position there). Re RYM - I thought I missed the boat early on back in Jun/Jul, but I am thinking of slowly scaling in just for the trade, and like yourself, I am unable to make up my mind up. If it breaks the current support and goes back into teens, then it's going to be a hard one to resist. Glta
Omg dude idk why you have a problem with freaking CWEB of all companies lol have a good night
It got them an investment by BAT lol CWEB will be just fine if big tobacco has their way with hemp. If they don't get their way, CWEB will fail. But they are just doing what BAT wants them to do for the last few years.
I was just commenting on your "sob story" comment, not on financials. But why wouldn't I defend them? They have long been one of the most respected companies in the space. They were one of the very few hemp companies that refused to get into intoxicating products at all. They were insisting for a long time that "hemp" should be considered non-intoxicating in people's minds. Finally they were forced to do dip their toes into THC gummies extremely recently, but they have been on the side of the regulated cannabis industry for many years. Regarding financials. Of course they suck. They are waiting to be sold in regular retail like a dietary supplement. It's either get regulated or they die off, like many other cannabis companies in this space who aren't making a profit. They only dropped so much because they were pumped up from a CBD twitter post. I advised against people buying into that pump, and [I posted CWEB's financials](https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/comments/1nte2kg/comment/ngt9uxj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) to make sure people knew their cash position and net losses. Can you name a single profitable CBD company? Can you name any CBD company? CWEB was almost exclusively CBD until extremely recently. I'm confused why you seem to have a problem with these guys of all people lol
They have done more for this industry than most companies. Their "sob story" with CNN really helped bring cannabis into mainstream culture as a medicine. Not just some hippy drug. And as someone who uses cannabis to manage their seizures, I am personally thankful they told that sob story to the world. Seizures are usually one of the first disorders added to medical cannabis laws. Lots of people only know it helps with seizures because of CWEB's story. They also got the ball rolling on the first Florida medical cannabis laws. One of the most important states for our industry had their original laws written specifically for their strain. [https://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/stateroundup/gov-scott-signs-charlottes-web-marijuana-bill-into-law/2184590/](https://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/stateroundup/gov-scott-signs-charlottes-web-marijuana-bill-into-law/2184590/) Show a little respect to one of the OG cannabis companies.
They're waiting for the same thing hemp beverages are waiting for. Ingestible CBD to be sold in regular retail like Walmart. If you believe that hemp beverages will be regulated, then CWEB should benefit as well, since hemp beverages are foods with CBD added to them. CWEB will continue to languish until regulations change, like all the other companies in this sector. But i personally think the thing we have the best chance of seeing is CBD getting regulated. Ideally alongside low dose hemp THC products. Nobody really wants to ban CBD. It's just the big bad scary THC that everyone cares about.
CWEB's fall today.. huh! It's not a great report, but the correction today is crazy..any thoughts from others in the forum on this?
If it's not a top MSO many people don't follow them. I posted OGI, Decibel, CWEB, InterCure, and Jones Soda last financials, but I'm guessing if i hadn't nobody else would have.
CWEB a good buy for when trade talks go well next thursday
BAT is definitely pro-hemp, seeing as how they have moved into THC gummies with both CWEB and OGI, and hemp THC beverages with OGI. Then BAT and OGI both invested in hemp cannabinoid manufacturer Open Book Extracts. Altria owns a large stake in AB InBev, whose distributors have been moving into hemp beverages. Altria never stopped lobbying regarding [FDA clarity on CBD](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/aac16d47-6512-4ae5-8b51-dac1a5bf57d3/print/), even after Cronos got out of the US CBD market years ago. The tobacco industry probably likes that the combination makes it harder to quit lol they love addiction.
That's great insight. All this wealth of information is like a little wiki on the web of cbd/ cannabis companies and their connections to broader players. So, in summary, they (bacardi) already have and/or at least have partnerships in place to jump into this space as soon as the regulations are sorted out. On another note, I am hoping OGI ends up buying CWEB out (and hopefully at a good premium) to kark their entry into cbd business in the US. Glta
CWEB expanding their hemp THC gummy line. These ones are sleep focused, combining THC and CBN. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/charlottes-web-expands-its-brightside-line-with-launch-of-knockout-hemp-thc-sleep-gummies-302583157.html OGI also just launched hemp THC gummies the other day. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251009031325/en/Organigram-Global-Launches-happly-a-New-U.S.-Hemp-Derived-THC-Brand-Offering-Targeted-Formulations-for-Three-Mood-States-Socialize-Relax-and-Sleep
It's a big deal for pure cbd companies like CWEB.
Holding my CWEB as a hemp-CBD hedge.
I have a sizable CWEB position and sold most of my OGI yesterday ( I might buy back before the end of this year). It's interesting to see you don't hold any US MSOs.
CWEB / OGI I'm probably the only person here who has these as their top 2 lol
Is CWEB going to run any further? Whose still holding?
Who else is still holding CWEB?
I am mostly following them closely today to see what potential price movements CWEB might have. Like if YCBD crashes suddenly I might take some CWEB profits. Hard to say if YCBD affirms any outcomes just because it's such a microcap.
Same here. First heard about CWEB from GEO. Did the DD and seemed like a good niche. Almost back to even with them.
Third time now lol I wish CWEB was on the NASDAQ
CWEB, HITI (they own 2 DTC CBD brands in the US), and GTII will be my play.
Because today is likely to be a pumpy day, CBD is actually getting attention, and I'm mentioning them more than usual, here are the most recent financials for Charlotte's Web: [https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1750155/000175015525000054/cweb-20250630.htm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1750155/000175015525000054/cweb-20250630.htm) They are a microcap who are getting low on cash, and don't turn a profit, so please be careful. They have lots of potential if CBD is pushed as medicine, but they are also very risky if there are further delays to regulations and this is just another social media pump. I hold a lot of CWEB myself, but I want to make sure people think about the risks prior to the market opening.
Tilray has a partnership with CWEB [using their hemp](https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/industry-headlines/news/15705283/tilray-brands-launches-charlottes-web-cbd-gummies-in-canada) >Crafted in the pristine northern Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, these gummies leverage Charlotte’s Web’s proprietary hemp genetics [Strategic alliance announcement](https://investors.charlottesweb.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2022/Charlottes-Web-Enters-Strategic-Alliance-with-Tilray-for-Manufacturing-and-Distribution-in-Canada/default.aspx) >Under the arrangement, Tilray will acquire and extract Charlotte's Web proprietary hemp biomass, harvested from Canadian-grown hemp cultivars, and manufacture into final product at their state-of-the-art production facilities in Canada.
We should be discussing who will benefit the most from the narrative of hemp CBD as medicine. I know CWEB. Tilray had been a big supplier of oil but it's not from hemp (not there is any fucking difference).
I'll never get too excited over a social media post, but it's certainly one of the first exciting things for CBD in a while. The timing is interesting considering he's going after Tylenol right now, and CBD would be something to compete directly with Tylenol for pain. Not to mention that CWEB/BAT have their joint venture, which is pursuing a CBD drug to alleviate the effects of [what they're now blaming on Tylenol](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/defloria-receives-investigational-new-drug-application-clearance-from-fda-for-phase-2-clinical-trial-of-aja001-an-oral-cannabinoid-drug-being-developed-for-the-treatment-of-autism-spectrum-disorder-asd-302382573.html?tc=eml_cleartime). Given that the [origin of CWEB is the treatment of a child using CBD](https://www.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/charlotte-child-medical-marijuana), they would be an ideal company to push CBD right as the government is going after Tylenol use in children. CWEB was also instrumental in the early low-THC medical cannabis laws in Florida, which were literally written to [specifically legalize the strain Charlotte's Web](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte%27s_Web_(cannabis)). And CWEB is one of the best companies regarding[ patent IP on their hemp strain genetics](https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/comments/1eti8fh/comment/lijxqim/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). Canopy has a bunch of patents too from what I've seen. Getting medical CBD products covered by insurance is very important though, because I think they really need to create two separate markets for CBD. They need the low dose "wellness" market with gummies/beverages, and the high dose "pharma" market. Idk, I'll be curious to see if this social media post is picked up by more than the typical cannabis publications. I'm cautiously bullish for the CBD market (for companies that can survive) just because I am confident that hemp beverages are going to be regulated. Which means that CBD will be regulated. **Just consider that CWEB is getting pretty low on cash.** I kind of suspected that OGI would invest in them, considering they have followed up on multiple other BAT investments. And you have CWEB doing THC gummies while OGI is doing THC beverages. Seems like a natural fit. Even though CWEB is low on cash, they [loaned their BAT joint venture another $750k](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1750155/000127956925000759/form8k.htm) pretty recently, so i am hoping they are confident in that moving forward.
Any thoughts on CWEB after this video grom Trump? u/geo
Idk, I bought the Kenvue dip yesterday. They keep saying "Tylenol" but it's really acetaminophen they are questioning. And it's just for pregnant women, which is only going to be a small portion of acetaminophen that is used by people. So I think Kenvue got unfairly hurt by the market, just because they are the ones who own the Tylenol brand. I have investments in CWEB, and I am still hoping for the very small chance that the GOP start pushing CBD again as a natural and safe pain reliever. They are also multiple people looking at how CBD can help with autism symptoms. So I think this fear mongering about acetaminophen could potentially help the CBD market. The GOP really likes hemp/CBD and also really likes selling supplements. Their influencers would probably love to be selling CBD and stealing some of the money that was going to Tylenol.
I had a much larger comment but it wasn't letting me post for some reason. A lot of the companies you know are selling Delta 9 THC hemp now in some way. There are a few random companies I can think of too. In no particular order. Tilray, CGC, Agrify, OGI, CWEB, Glass House, Jones Soda, High Tide, VFF, Curaleaf, Trulieve, cbdMD, LFTD Partners, Lexaria Biosciences. I'm sure I missed some. Besides investing in many of those companies, I have also been against the grain a bit myself by looking for positions in alcohol companies that I know are interested in hemp beverages. Like Constellation Brands, AB InBev, Boston Beer, and Molson Coors. Also Pernod Ricard is supposedly looking for a hemp beverage acquisition, as confirmed by the founders of Brez. If they are able to shift into higher margin hemp drinks they could be a major turnaround story, as they are getting such bad press lately about people not drinking anymore. I am recently dabbling in other beverage companies that have been beaten down too, like KDP and Pepsi. Pepsi actually had a hemp seed oil Rockstar coming out back in 2022, so they are interested in hemp. I think Celsius will be one of the first mainstream brands to incorporate CBD, but that's purely a guess.
CWEB is forming a scientific advisory board. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/charlottes-web-announces-plans-to-establish-a-scientific-advisory-board-302546268.html "This initiative also strengthens its partnership with DeFloria, Inc" They are continuing to support their botanical CBD drug, being developed by their DeFloria joint venture with BAT. CWEB loaned DeFloria another $750k a month or two ago. CWEB also has started selling low dose hemp CBD/THC gummies. I feel like CWEB is showing the future markets for these products. Pursuing high dose CBD as a medical product, while pursuing low dose CBD/THC as a recreational product. I think this makes sense if you assume the FDA will eventually put a cap on the daily safe dosage of CBD for recreational use, similar to the UK. If this limit is set fairly low, it could take a lot of high dose CBD products off the market, while opening the door to pharma backed CBD products. Clearly separating high dose and low dose cannabinoids into recreation and pharma seems like the easiest way to appease multiple interests. If they put cannabis on Schedule 3, while simultaneously regulating low dose hemp products, they'd basically be creating this exact pharma/recreational separation.
Insider purchase from COO of CWEB yesterday. Bought 229,167 shares at $0.10. [https://archive.fast-edgar.com/20250903/AE2ZI22CZ22242Z2222C224O657GZK229V72/](https://archive.fast-edgar.com/20250903/AE2ZI22CZ22242Z2222C224O657GZK229V72/)
Yea not much unless it gets high % like CWEB right now. But it's free money, so I really should sign up for it. I never have though.
Looks like about a $25K buy earlier today from the COO of CWEB [http://archive.fast-edgar.com/20250530/AC24E22CZ222D2Z2222C224M68WGZK229272/](http://archive.fast-edgar.com/20250530/AC24E22CZ222D2Z2222C224M68WGZK229272/)
Wonder what the status of CWEB Epliepsy drug research is?
Just purchase an ETF like FXI or CWEB if you want leverage in Chinese tech. I absolutely would not attempt to pick individual stocks in the current market environment. You are much more likely to get better results with leverage in an etf.
Honestly, the NEM put is on Gold could help, then my last $100 I put into a CWEB call (leveraged 2x China) so hoping to recover something but holding the rest until death. I'm ok with this.

Hold, or sell Chinese stocks (VNET, BABA, BIDU, TCEHY)? Anyone invested in CWEB or YINN- China BULL ETFs (2x!) -OR- China Bea ETFs?; \^This is the closest I come to placing options.
There isn't one that covers all 10. But the following cover most of them: Samsung CSI China Dragon ETF Direxion Daily FTSE China Bull 3X Shares ETF (YINN) CWEB KWEB Hang Seng Tech ETF
Is this theoretical or is there an ETF with these bundled already? As far as I am aware, I only know of CWEB and KWEB.

CWEB going strong today on no news and all other names falling. What an industry
MJBizDaily pumping 2025 stocks with a [guest column by Tiby Erdely](https://mjbizdaily.com/why-2025-could-be-a-banner-year-for-cannabis-investors/). Funny how it doesn't mention hemp whatseover though, because Tiby Erdely is from KEY Investment Partners. KEY employ one of the lobbyists for the US Cannabis Roundtable (**David Culver**) who came from Canopy Growth and prior to that lobbied for big alcohol. KEY also has Canopy's former US THC strategy head on their advisory board. They also have a person focused on cannabis who works at John Boehner's law firm. Most importantly, KEY Investment Partners are early investors in BAT/OGI hemp investment Open Book Extracts. David Culver had two clients when he was lobbying for the US Cannabis Council (now Roundtable). Those were the [US Cannabis Council](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/bf89a8d4-bd9f-4c04-b98a-dfa8b0affb03/print/) and [Open Book Extracts](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/98fbe479-990f-46d1-8f56-641cac002612/print/). Soon after that, CWEB and Open Book would help form a new advocacy group called ONE Hemp. After that group was formed, Culver stopped lobbying for Open Book and [started lobbying for ONE Hemp](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/331bb7d8-8a75-4a71-9379-bc80f84f36b9/print/). Tiby Erdely's KEY Investment Partners [aren't even really invested in publicly traded US Cannabis](https://keyinvestmentpartners.com/portfolio/). So it's odd they are writing articles saying that they are undervalued. Wouldn't it make sense to invest in them before telling others to invest in them?
CWEB talking a bit about their CBD clinical trials through their BAT joint venture. They are using CBD dosages up to 680mg in a dose. We really need to see a safe daily dosage of CBD for general consumers, similar to what the UK has. Then we can actually have a clear separation between low-dose branded CBD wellness products, and high dose medical CBD treatments.

Robert Hanson was a President at Constellation Brands, and until earlier this year he was with **Canopy Growth**. Robert Hanson became a board advisor to Akita Biosciences a few months ago. Akita launched in late 2023, and are developing **novel nasal inhalers**. Akita Biosciences's board also has **Orrin Devinsky**, who was recently on a different nasal inhaler company called Receptor Life Sciences. Through at least late 2022 they were trying for FDA approval of [inhaled dry powder CBD](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20221101005095/en/Receptor-Life-Sciences-Opens-Second-Investigational-New-Drug-IND-Application-with-FDA-for-RLS103-Inhaled-Dry-Powder-CBD-for-the-Treatment-of-Rapid-Epileptic-Seizure-Termination-REST).

Not sure when/if he left them. He originally was working with Tilray during the time period that Tilray was strategizing with John Boehner, who is connected to BAT and Canopy Growth.
Yea mushroom supplements and drinks are increasing in popularity lately. CWEB even randomly started selling mushroom supplements, and they had never branched out from hemp/CBD before.
CWEB hasn't moved much in either direction since the election results. Is this a sign?? Btw I am down nearly 50%, almost all jy canna positions, but haven't had the heart to sell for a loss yet (6 figure + potential divorce-lol!!). Will hold out until DoJ hearing in Dec/Jan and see where this lands. Glta
Matt Gaetz is certainly one of the most cannabis friendly picks we could've hoped for. His former chief of staff is one of Trulieve's lobbyists too. Matt Gaetz did recently come out against the Florida rec amendment, which was odd. And when he sponsored the first medical cannabis legislation in Florida it was for low-THC cannabis and he was working with [hemp company Charlotte's Web](https://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/bill-to-legalize-charlottes-web-marijuana-filed-by-florida-rep-matt-gaetz-6439343). CWEB is an investment from British American Tobacco. The same person who [lobbies for Trulieve](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/2c91f400-2ca7-4755-8745-a83759cf83fb/print/) also [lobbies for BAT](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/0c399568-2eaf-44ba-bff6-8d286be736a1/print/) (Reynold's American). BAT/Trulieve's lobbyist was chief of staff to Matt Gaetz, as well as Jeff Miller, the previous Congressman from Gaetz's district. BAT registered with this lobbyist at the beginning of 2017, which is when Matt Gaetz first took federal office. Trulieve would register with them in 2018. BAT employs another lobbyist, who is the Director of Government Affairs at Reynolds American. This lobbyist also previously worked for Jeff Miller, and then was [legislative director and counsel for Matt Gaetz](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/dafc789e-f605-4b87-9c74-ba9cd731e4bd/print/).
In general there aren't a ton of public hemp companies, but I consider most LPs to be hemp plays to varying degrees. You have Tilray, Canopy, OGI all actively involved with US hemp right now. Companies like Cronos technically left the US hemp market a while back, but they [continued to lobby for hemp](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/263e53bf-9401-4224-b740-2dd6acdcdbba/print/). I think VFF has some very interesting potential given their Texas connections and CBD interests. High Tide has CBD connections. You get the idea. I think federally legal companies will want to only deal with federally legal products. Some other hemp connections besides the main LPs: **Curaleaf** we know is involved with hemp with gummies/beverages, and has been connected to the hemp industry for years **Green Thumb** has relationships with Cann and Lifted Partners for hemp products. They license their Incredibles brand to Lifted. **Glass House Brands** is actively talking about moving into hemp, and this makes a ton of sense for them. They are all set up to start growing hemp in their new greenhouse if they want to. **Flora Growth** is an intriguing mix of CBD/hemp, beverages, and Germany. They are run by the super sketchy Clifford Starke though (involved in the Aphria short report) so beware. Starke also chairs the US Hemp Roundtable, so he's got significant connections. **Jones Soda** is a smaller company, but a direct way to invest in hemp beverages. This is another company associated with sketchy insiders from the Aphria short report though. **Charlotte's Web** is one of the most well known names in CBD, and one of the few pure play hemp companies you can invest in. They have always been adamant about not touching intoxicating products though, so I'm curious if that changes. CWEB is partnered with Tilray, and have the BAT connection with OGI. **InterCure** isn't a US hemp play, but they deal with medical cannabis and CBD in Israel and the EU. They have relationships with OGI/CWEB/Tilray, so lots of hemp connections. Israel will hopefully revise their CBD laws soon as they were supposed to have done a while back (war delayed things), and once that happens I think InterCure's partnership with CWEB should kick in. **Lexaria Biosciences** deals with CBD a bit, and has had a relationship with InterContinental Beverage Capital, who are into hemp beverages. **Perrigo** is a pharma company that took a stake in CBD company Kazmira a few years back. I assume they are still connected. **Jazz Pharma** of course is very involved with CBD via Epidiolex **Better Choice Company** is a pet care company that has tons of cannabis connections going back years, including Bruce Linton, Authentic Brands Group, Arlene Dickinson, Michael Young, etc.. They were doing CBD years ago, and I expect them to get back into it in the near future. Note that pet care is a CBD-only play, as THC is toxic to cats/dogs. **Lifted Partners** is an ultra penny stock, but they are a hemp company associated with Green Thumb. Absolutely zero liquidity. **Akanda Corp** just got an hemp cultivation license a couple months ago in Canada. Not super related to US hemp at the moment, but I just remember that headline. **Maverick Lifestyle** is a pre-IPO hemp company that Bruce Linton is advising. **Synbiotic** in Germany seems to be the most hemp-focused German company, and they are also associated with Bruce Linton. I'm sure there are some other companies I'm forgetting at the moment. There are definitely some other random ones that have died recently. I can think of Hempacco off the top of my head. Then you have the tobacco/alcohol stocks you could invest in if you are looking for a safer, more long term approach to investing in hemp. I personally had a good bit in BAT, though I sold a large amount of it not long ago after they had run up a lot. I will hopefully roll some cannabis gains back into them in the future.
April 2025 40c CWEB. Just happened a month ago. Looks like it's going to be close! I was at 32c and it was at 50! It tanked massively a few days before expiring and that along with crazy high IV allowed me to roll up and out and save my shares which would have been sold at a 20% loss. I made a post about it.
For a day or two I felt I had sold my CWEB too early. Guess what, it is a little below my selling point now. Without new and more forceful stimulus the run of China stock is over. The best scenario is it will range bond. More likely Shanghai Index will retest the 3000.
I will definitely be talking more about this Tilray/CWEB connection, but might not be until later in the week. Have some stuff going on keeping me fairly busy for a bit.
Blackrock has multiple iShares ETFs (FXI, MCHI). You could get a Direxion 3x levered etf (YINN). Kraneshares has KWEB, an ETF of Chinese internet and tech stocks (CWEB for 2x leverage). Invesco offers CQQQ and PGJ. Pick your poison
Maxed out on KWEB, time to go into CWEB with leverage.
Few companies with significant current market share are ones you can invest into. Here's a bit of a list of some beverage connections: Jones Soda - I think this probably the most direct investment in a current cannabis beverages company you can make. They are associated with sketchy cannabis insiders though (SOL Global). Be careful with them. Canopy Growth - Just released beverages through Wana, which is a strong brand. Would assume they will be a part of Constellation Brands distribution network when cannabis beverages are regulated. Tilray - Just announced hemp beverages. Tilray's greatest strength in this market will be their distribution through AB InBev's distribution network when regulations occur. Curaleaf - Recently moved back into hemp beverages. So far I have only heard about direct-to-consumer distribution. They were supposed to announce real distribution/retail partners, but I have not heard this yet. GTI - Have had a partnership with Cann for a while. I personally see their deal with Circle K as a potential strong distibution network for hemp beverages. Flora Growth - Announced a joint venture for cannabis drinks with Althea Group a few months ago. I have not heard anything come of this yet. Althea's subsidiary is the one who manufactures Boston Beer's cannabis beverage in Canada (Teapot). Flora is also associated with sketchy cannabis insiders though. Be very careful with these guys. Lexaria Biosciences - Has made deals to license their DehydraTECH formula to beverage companies, including Intercontinental Beverage Capital (BevNology) as recently as 2022, and Hill Street Beverages years prior to that. Not sure if they have current beverage partners or not though. CWEB/OGI - No current beverages. CWEB supposed to release CBD seltzers in late 2022 though. Was part of the group of companies that had deals with Southern Glazers (CWEB, Tilray, Curaleaf, Canopy). British American Tobacco (OGI/CWEB) is invested in companies that would support hemp beverages though, most notable Open Book Extracts and Trait Biosciences. Cronos Group - No current beverages. Altria has been invested in AB InBev for years though. Cronos is also extremely strongly connected to Gotham Green Partners, and they are the co-investor with British American Tobacco in Trait Biosciences. Flow Beverage Corp - No current cannabis beverages. Have a history of pursuing CBD beverages years ago, and still have some connections to the industry. Tinley - Early company that got into cannabis beverages. They've been pretty quiet for a while, but did just announce a hemp beverage launch at Total Wine the other day. I personally think that basically all the LPs are "hemp" companies to some degree. Imo, companies that will be strongly pursuing federally legal hemp beverages are less likely to be involved with federally illegal recreational cannabis markets.
Why are you selling covered calls? Why you are holding CWEB and YINN? What is your edge? Who told you that selling covered calls is a good idea?
I don't know to calculate the total profit on my options trades for CWEB. I use Etrade and I can't find out how to do it. If I could figure that out, I might feel a whole lot better about this!
hey man, sorry to hear. hopefully your next trade will help you make it all back. imho, not a lot of things if one could do when one sells options on something that ends up going ballistic. don't beat yourself too much. question, you brought down your cost basis from 212 to 46, by wheeling CWEB? ("sold puts on very red days and calls on very green")
Thank you. Your words are very helpful and encouraging. I looked back at my CWEB disaster, and it looks like the entire thing went awry on the initial assignment of 100 shares because after that, I was able to whittle it down and it would have been a win had I not sold these final contracts. Man, I was close. But I should have never spent the time chasing in the first place! I had a hole in my boat and never got it patched, I just kept bailing. Of course, this week the boat made it to the island, and I could have just stepped off but I'm still bailing because I sold covered calls. Okay, that made me laugh.
The merit of a trade shouldn't depend on your previous mistakes. I think you should ask yourself: at what point would you admit that you were wrong on CWEB and let go of that position vs keeping it festering? the next time you trade have a thesis, a plan, and an exit strategy, in case things turn south. If you have those 3 then you only need to start tweaking those until things work out (it might take a long time, but that's another matter). It is a very common mistake to focus on the red on the specific balance and try to remedy that. Don't fall prey to it. If you sell winners and hold on to losers you are watering the weeds and cutting the flowers in the garden. This year I have over 100K of losses in NVDA by selling calls below my basis, it doesn't upset me (I also had it last year https://www.reddit.com/r/thetagang/comments/17lvsp0/defined\_losses\_are\_in\_my\_opinion\_the\_best\_way\_to/) , it's baked into a winning strategy.
I made the mistake of thinking you can make a living selling puts on high IV stocks if you sell them deep enough ITM. Then the Bear market got ahold of me in 2021/2022 and I've just been trying to break even ever since. So, I was selling calls way below my cost basis but above current strike to chip away at my unrealized massive loss on my long position. At one point, I was down 75% on CWEB! I was also selling puts on red days well below current strike for income. Occasionally, I'd take assignment to lower my cost basis. On October 18th my shares will be called away with a 23% loss on my long position. Doesn't feel like a win to me.
Hey, I got paid $80 in CWEB dividends last night! :(
Selling puts are how I got to be a long-term CWEB holder in the first place. And I only sold on very red (>5%) days. Sigh. I guess if I could go back and add up the premium I made selling puts and calls over two years, it might not be so dark. But it sure looks ugly in my portfolio right now as it doesn't show any of that.
At this point, I can go out as far as April, but what strike? My cost basis on CWEB is 45. I could have finally exited this long position with a win if I hadn't sold calls against it.
I don't see how it can hold a 110%+ monthly gain but so far, I've been completely wrong, so... I've got to Oct 18 to come up with a plan. CWEB only has strikes to April so that's not much help.
CWEB is branching out into functional mushroom supplements. They just released three new mushroom gummies.
I sold my CWEB Friday. It was up close to 50% last week. If CWEB is down 10% or more next week I will consider buying it back. The rally is technical. The continuation of upward movement depends on company performance and general economic conditions. I was talking to some veteran stock investors in China. Most of them are looking at the resistance 3090 - 3100 short term. If it breaks the resistance in a convincing manner the market has legs.
Buy CWEB. It has all of those. I’m holding long too! When we start to sink next week. China stocks will rally
Sounds like his comment mostly was addressing THCa as the substitute for rec cannabis, which is what I would expect. I'm very eager to see what happens here. Just the other day CWEB insiders were buying, and they are very connected. And Clifford Starke also just got a bunch of stock granted to him at his company less than a month ago, and he's the chair of the US Hemp Roundtable. Let me know if you see any other comments regarding this. Thanks!
I bought the dip before the last 6 dips and still bag holding like champ  Positions: too many shares of CWEB, fml
Here's the other Form 4 I thought we'd see for CWEB. They bought a lot more this time. [https://archive.fast-edgar.com/20240904/AL24322CZ222Q2Z2222C224P67KGZK229262/](https://archive.fast-edgar.com/20240904/AL24322CZ222Q2Z2222C224P67KGZK229262/)
Looks like a very small [insider buy at CWEB](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1750155/000175015524000061/xslF345X05/wk-form4_1725383853.xml). Appears to be open market purchases, though it doesn't have the typical note that says so. Less than $2000 total was bought on 8/27 and 8/28. I would guess they bought some more 8/29 or 8/30 and we'll see another Form 4 tomorrow, but that's purely a guess based on how small the amount was on this Form 4.
Right, but that's my point about the distribution aspect of Tilray's beer purchases being critical. As much as they were buying the beer brands, they were buying the distributor relationships and the shelf space at retailers. Those things are incredibly important as a national beverage brand, as opposed to a local or direct-to-consumer brand. The beverage market is extremely competitive, as you say. Take a recent trendy beverage like Celsius. They had been around for a long time, but took off when they started being distributed by Pepsi. Pepsi had a hemp oil Rockstar in early 2022, and one of the prominent investors in Celsius (Kevin Harrington) has promoted many CBD products. I would not be shocked at all to see a Celsius with CBD in the near future. BioSteel is actually a great topic I could talk a while about. They were bought right before the FDA crashed the CBD industry, so they actually never really became a CBD drink. Also Canopy had identified an issue where 2019 emulsion technology was causing CBD to adhere to liners of beverages. Dosages were varying wildly. Essentially there were just lots of issues in late 2019 with beverages, and then the pandemic hit. Canopy never stood a chance, given how much they'd invested in hemp/CBD/beverages. But companies really seemed to have figured it out lately, judging by how hemp beverages are taking off. I don't think Constellation Brands and AB InBev just abandoned the idea of cannabis beverages after 2019. Canopy has just made the move. Right now there is a federally legal THC market that seems to be here to stay, so I think there's lots of opportunity. Also I feel like I have to clarify that I'm not actually a big investor in Tilray, though I have some. I am way bigger into OGI/CWEB for my hemp exposure.
Curaleaf, Canopy, and CWEB were all closely associated with David Culver's lobbying work, and they are all now in their own hemp product marketplaces. Definitely feels like they are confident that the bill Culver was talking about a while back will materialize. Culver was originally with Canopy, and has since joined the investment company behind the BAT/OGI hemp investment Open Book Extracts, called KEY Investment Partners. KEY also has the former head of Canopy's US THC strategy on the team. https://keyinvestmentpartners.com/advisory-board/
I've been digging into patents off and on for a while. There are patents for methods of [converting THC to CBN](https://patents.justia.com/patent/11472786) for [water-soluble formulations](https://patents.justia.com/patent/20220202710) for [hemp plants themselves](https://patents.justia.com/patent/10888059) and all kinds of stuff like that. Canopy Growth and Charlotte's Web seem to have a lot more patents than other hemp/cannabis companies, based on what I've seen so far. I've also learned that [plant variety patents are not as good as utility patents](https://hempindustrydaily.com/are-hemp-plant-breeders-ramping-up-on-utility-patents-to-protect-novel-varieties/), which offer stronger protection but are expensive and time consuming to obtain. *"Some consider utility patents the best option for cannabis breeders because they cover both sexually and asexually propagated new varieties, and because plant breeders can make multiple claims to cover the specific elements of a plant.* *In addition to varieties, utility patents can protect genes, traits, methods and plant parts."* [CWEB got the first hemp strain utility patents in early 2021](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/charlottes-web-secures-us-utility-patents-for-two-new-hemp-varietals-with-superior-cannabinoid-expression-301206788.html). *'Lindorea' and 'Kirsche' are the world's first two allowed U.S. Utility Patents reading on feminized hybrid hemp plants.*
Used this summer draw down to accumulate as much as I could. Going to sit tight and hold into elections. My thesis has not changed, still think schedule 3 is on track and SAFER passes lameduck. Even if we only get schedule 3, it's still a game changer. I'm not a fan of MSOS so created my own canna portfolio. Currently holding these names: TLRY at $4.30 cad TRUL at $9.50 cad VRNO at $5.08 cad ASCEND at $0.88 usd CRESCO at $2.29 cad VEXT at $0.23 cad CWEB at $0.24 cad CBST at $0.45 cad PLNT at $0.56 cad VFF at $1.02 usd I'm here during the good times and the bad. Gut tells me we'll be happy when all is said and done. Good luck everyone!
I have investments in Charlotte's Web, Organigram, and British American Tobacco as my primary hemp related companies. CWEB especially is super risky though, so I don't usually like to advocate for people investing in them. I also think all the other LPs are actually hemp plays to various degrees, with Tilray being the one most openly pursuing hemp. I have some Tilray, but not a ton, as well as various other LP investments. Canopy was the LP most heavily pursuing hemp in 2018-2019, but it's hard to tell what they're doing right now. I really don't trust Curaleaf, but they are also obviously interested in hemp. I think GTI is possibly the more underrated hemp play with the MSOs. Curaleaf is just now getting into hemp beverages, but GTI has been connected to Cann for a long time, and they are already the most popular hemp beverage. I personally assumed the whole GTI / Boston Beer rumor was probably about hemp beverages, as a federally legal product within their specialty is the only thing that made sense for Boston Beer to pursue. I am also watching CBD regulations in Israel, as they are supposed to loosen soon, and I have investments in Israel company InterCure. They have deals with both OGI and CWEB, so there is nice synergy for me there if things work out. Miracle Gro is someone I expect to make some sort of hemp move, but that's just an educated guess and I have a decent size position in Miracle Gro so I'm biased. Other than that there are several penny stocks I follow, but I don't like to mention them much because they aren't good investments and/or have extremely sketchy management. The hemp industry is so crushed that there aren't very many hemp-focused companies that you can even invest in, and most of those are nearly bankrupt.
I am a fan of the Charlotte's Web, Organigram, British American Tobacco group of companies, in terms of relatively safe ways to be exposed to the hemp industry. I think all the LPs are, or will be, hemp plays to some degree. Tilray and OGI are both talking about it. Tilray has their hemp foods and wants to do beverages, while OGI has the CWEB connection via BAT, and OGI invested in Open Book Extracts, who do hemp products. High Tide and VFF both have CBD investments. Cronos and Aurora technically pulled out of the US CBD market a while ago, but Cronos never stopped lobbying for CBD, so I expect them to be back. InterCure in Israel is a favorite of mine as well. Mostly medical cannabis at the moment, but they have a deal with Charlotte's Web to distribute their products once CBD regulations change in Israel. This should have already happened but the war delayed it. Given that InterCure also has a supply deal with OGI, I see this as a partnership that will continue into the future. Could be good entry into the EU as well. Jones Soda and Flora Growth are both into hemp/CBD, but are both connected to very sketchy insiders (SOL Global crew), so there are significant risks in that regard. Lexaria Biosciences is doing research for CBD drugs and they license their CBD tech, so I follow them. Better Choice Company is a pet company that's long been associated with cannabis insiders. I'm watching to see them get back into CBD. Lifted Partners is a hemp products company I've been watching after finding out GTI licenses their brands to them. Flow Beverages is a beverage manufacturer I'm watching to get back into CBD. They have connections to Tilray/OGI/BioSteel, and they were originally going to make Gwynyth Paltrow/HEXO's CBD drink back in 2019. Synbiotic in Germany seems to be the most hemp focused of the German companies. They are also an investment by Bruce Linton, who has been very focused on hemp since leaving Canopy. He had a SPAC that was pursuing industrial hemp products, then he invested in Synbiotic, and earlier this year he joined the advisory board of a hemp cigarette company preparing to IPO. There's a few other random penny stocks. Long story short is that there aren't a lot of non-penny stocks that give you good exposure to the hemp industry, because that industry has been crushed so hard.
I agree. They were involved with the UFC years ago for CBD. https://www.ufc.com/news/aurora-cannabis-and-ufc-join-forces-advance-cbd-research-education-and-product-development?language_content_entity=en I can make a very strong case that the ACB/Coke rumors from 2018/2019 were true. I think I can even make a case that it was going to be ACB and CWEB partnering back then. I think the CBD recovery drink market is going to be huge. Who is someone that is connected to the UFC, CBD drinks, as well as Elon Musk? Joe Rogan. Rogan currently has a CBD drink partnership with the "K*ll Cliff" drinks. Back in 2018 the CEO of Charlotte's Web was Hesaam Moellam, who had come to Charlotte's Web directly from Joe Rogan's supplement company Onnit.
Really appreciate tagging this post, i haven't followed CWEB in some time since I posted this, will add it to the watchlist. Didn't know they signed a deal with Walmart :)
I just bought my CWEB. Now it will move. They signed a deal with WALMART to supply the CBD products soon to hit the shelves> :) Cheers.
A few months ago I placed an order for 1K shares of CWEB. It took 2 days to fill despite the **very** low stock price.
CWEB has good products that seem to be effective.
I've been super interested in Trait for a while. They've had big time advisors since 2019. Before Gotham Green and BAT were investors, they were connected to Aurora/Aphria/Cronos back in 2018/2019. Here's a [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/comments/1clcrpv/comment/l2tig20/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) I made a while back about Trait Biosciences recent connections to Flow Beverages and BioSteel. Flow Beverages started Cizzle Brands with the Biosteel co-founder. Pete Carr is one of Trait's advisors. He's from Bacardi, and recently got promoted to head their global growth. Tenacious Labs is a company started by a member of the Bacardi family. Tenacious Labs are invested in lots of [CBD companies](https://www.tenacious-labs.com/brands). One of which manufactures [CBD seltzers](https://tenaciouslabsmanufacturing.com/products/cbd-infused-sparkling-beverage). Tenacious Labs recently combined with [Artemis Growth](https://www.tenacious-labs.com/news/artemis-growth-partners-and-tenacious-labs-unite-to-create-europes-largest-cannabis-investment-platform). The founder of Artemis Growth is the same person who is an investor and on the board at Bloomwell Group with **Boris Jordan of Curaleaf**. In 2022 we had Canopy Growth, Charlotte's Web, Tilray, and Curaleaf all partnered for CBD distribution with **Southern Glazers**, which was originally a business combination put together[ by Bacardi](https://www.distillerytrail.com/blog/bacardi-partners-southern-wine-spirits-glazers-form-behemoth-distribution-network/). In 2022 we also had Tilray (Pres of Canada) and CWEB (CEO) with high level executives who had recently worked at Bacardi.
Thanks for sharing, Geo. Let's see if this materializes into something meaningful. Either I am holding CWEB through farm bill amendments that are in the pupeline to be announced by the end of this year/early next year. Glta
I am hoping they announce some kind of beverage play soon. I have been following Flow Beverages for a while, as they have BioSteel, OGI, and HEXO connections, and were doing CBD beverages back in 2019. Flow also has a connection (Ronan Levy) to the water soluble CBD tech company Trait Biosciences, who are funded by BAT and Gotham Green Partners. CWEB claimed they were going to release CBD drinks in late 2022. At the time this was also when Trait was supposed to be releasing their tech. Last news from Trait I heard the release was moved back and supposed to be Q1 2024. I noticed that at the same time CWEB went up like 50% on 500k volume earlier today that almost simultaneously Flow also had a really big jump on much higher volume than is typical for them. Just hypothesizing based on stock movement and connections. Don't invest in penny stocks based on this please. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/trait-biosciences-closes-on-financing-led-by-bats-btomorrow-ventures-and-gotham-green-partners-and-advances-commercialization-of-unique-water-soluble-cannabinoids-301953852.html "The financing will support Trait's partnerships with contract manufacturers and go-to-market partners, and Trait expects a 1Q 2024 launch of its first-generation water-soluble CBD."
What's going on with CWEB ?¡ I was able to snag 20k at 18 cents. But price action seems very odd.
That old connection is why I'm asking. Lots of people were with Southern Glazers for CBD beverages in 2022, including Tilray, Curaleaf, Canopy, and CWEB. This was the time period that Curaleaf said they ran into supply chain issues with their beverages. I am pretty sure something happened with Southern Glazers. Not sure if it's related to their price-fixing investigation, or maybe they weren't comfortable with hemp THC, but they seem to have gotten out of the CBD beverage market. https://www.just-drinks.com/news/southern-glazers-wine-and-spirits-ends-centrs-cbd-beverage-distribution/ I am guessing this is the supply chain issue Boris was talking about, but that's purely my guess. I focus a lot on how important distribution is for these hemp beverage companies. Tilray talks a ton about their distributors. Part of the highlight of the AB InBev acquisition was about how it gave them access to AB InBevs distribution network.
