GW Pharmaceuticals Plc's Stock Volume and Value Lose Ground

Meanwhile, GW Pharmaceuticals Plc.'s (OTCPINK:GWPRF - News) stock volume has been falling steadily Mar. 11 as has its share value.

The London-based pharmaceutical share volume had been surging on the heels of a recent announcement the company made that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation for Epidiolex(R). This is GW’s product candidate that contains plant-derived Cannabidiol (CBD) as its active ingredient, for use in treating children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a rare and severe form of childhood-onset epilepsy.

Despite this, GW Pharmaceuticals lately has been trending downward.

There has been no recent or past negative news, so why this is happening is anybody's guess.

In November 2013, GW announced that the FDA had granted orphan drug designation for Epidiolex in the treatment of Dravet syndrome.

Following the successful follow-on offering completed in January 2014, GW intends to advance a full clinical development program for Epidiolex for the treatment of both LGS and Dravet syndromes. Working with leading pediatric epilepsy specialists in the United States,

GW expects to commence an initial Phase 2 clinical trial for Epidiolex in the second half of 2014. This trial, if successful, is expected to lead to Phase 3 pivotal trial programs in both Dravet syndrome and LGS intended to support New Drug Applications with the FDA.

On Mar. 25, GWPRF’s share price closed at $5.50, up 16 cents from its closing price of $5.34 the previous day.

Medical Marijuana to Develop Joint Venture

In other news, Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC PINK: MJNA) announced on Mar. 20 that it signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a joint venture with LiveWire Ergogenics, Inc. (OTCQB:LVVV - News) under the name of HempWire, LLC.

This is the San Diego holding company’s foray into the functional foods market with immediate distribution through LiveWire's extensive chain of existing convenience store retailers, grocery stores, and pharmacy chain stores.

Other than this, the Medical Marijuana hasn’t made any major announcements since Feb 5 when its subsidiary reported that it was expanding the global sales base of its industrial hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) oil.

Still, Medical Marijuana continues to employ a formidable diversified strategy in order to establish a foothold in this burgeoning industry.

For example, on Jan. 31 Medical Marijuana said that it had entered into an agreement with an unnamed company to sell Medial Marijuana's anti-aging cream through the unnamed company’s in-home sales force.

According to the release, the first purchase order from the home-based business organization will be $1,072,251 in products that will ship before the end of the first quarter.

This positive news came a few days after Medical Marijuana announced its newly-formed subsidiaries would be providing armored transport services for companies in the cannabis industry.

Marijuana Inc.'s subsidiary, Wellness Managed Services, has gained this capability by purchasing a 50% stake in MPS International.

Cannabis Security Issue

In a written statement, MPS International's CEO Mike Roberts outlined some specifics about the new armored marijuana transport service.

"Large amounts of product will be moved from grow to wholesaler, warehouse, testing facilities, bakeries, infusion laboratories and finally to retail locations," Roberts said. "Post transaction, and especially right now with federal regulations prohibiting FDIC insured banks from offering financial services to cannabis industry businesses, large amounts of cash will need to be transported between parties securely as this creates an easy target for predators and competing businesses," he added.

Potentially Lucrative Opportunity

In the release, Roberts went on to outline the potential opportunity that existed for providing armor transportation for currently legal cannabis businesses. He pointed out that there are now about 448 dispensaries in Colorado alone, while in California there are an estimated 2,700 dispensaries, co-operatives, wellness clinics, and taxi delivery services.

"Using an average of one armed security officer working 10 hour shifts, 7 days per week billing at the industry standard of $25/hour armed, 52 weeks per year, annual gross revenue created by just 11 locations is more than $1,000,000 for just static physical security," Roberts explained.

Once the company establishes this footprint, it says it will evaluate other cannabis markets such as those in Canada.

On Mar. 25, MJNA share price closed at 30 cents, down 1 cent from its closing price of the 31 cents the previous day.
