LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2021 / Cannabis Global, Inc. (OTC PINK:CBGL) and Marijuana Company of America (OTC PINK:MCOA) today announce the funding of a state-of-the-art cannabis extract laboratory in Lynwood, California. The two companies recently created a joint venture, MCOA Lynwood Services, Inc., which is majority-owned by Cannabis Global, Inc., which will oversee operations and marketing of cannabis products produced by the venture.
"One of our top priorities at the new laboratory is to produce a crystalline form of THC-A called "Diamonds" to be sold into the wholesale and retail markets and for use on our own branded products," commented Arman Tabatabaei, CEO of Cannabis Global. "Production of cannabis Diamonds, which is often called Diamond Mining within the cannabis industry, is highly specialized requiring not only specific licensing and permitting but also state-of-the-art extraction equipment and specialized scientific personnel. With our funding now secure and the technical talent in place, we are now moving quickly to turn up operations."
The laboratory will be operated by Cannabis Global's subsidiary, Natural Plant Extract of California (NPE), under its Type 7 cannabis manufacturing permit. NPE will manage the laboratory and manufacturing operations with both MCOA and CBGL personnel providing consulting and business management services. The State of California limits the issuances of Type 7 permits for production of cannabis extracts utilizing volatile substances. NPE has invested heavily in building safety and the environmental retrofits required for Type 7 permitting, and recently renewed its permit for this type of cannabis extraction.
Last year, according to data published by MJBizDaily, the cannabis concentrate product category was up by more than 40%, representing one of the fastest-growing cannabis sub-categories. Pricing of products in the category also rose last year by five percent, primarily driven by increased demand as consumers continued to move away from vape products due to health concerns, and as consumers in mature markets, such as Los Angeles, are increasingly demanding more potent cannabis products.
"Diamonds" is a cannabis industry term for crystal formations of THC-A cannabinoids. Diamonds are produced as THC-A molecules clump together creating crystalline faceted formations that resemble diamonds. NPE plans to offer its Diamond products directly to California cannabis retailers and wholesale markets via its sister company, Northern Lights Distribution, and to enhance its own manufactured products, under the Northern Light brand name.
Mr. Tabatabai, continued, "Because we will be producing our own concentrates to feed our own brands while also acting as our own distributor, this new laboratory and the products it will produce opens up a host of new revenue and vertical integration opportunities for our companies."
