Cavan Appoints Matthew Harvey CEO of BC Bud Depot to Advisory Board
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 27, 2014) - CAVAN VENTURES INC. (TSX VENTURE:CVN) ("Cavan" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a corporate update in regards to the continuing exploration of the potential of the Medical Marijuana and Hemp/Cannabinoid industry.
Cavan Ventures Inc. previously announced (see news release dated 2014-03-25) the diversification of its growth plan into the Medical Marijuana and Hemp industry. To accelerate this process, Matthew Harvey has joined the Company as its newest member to the advisory board.
Mr. Harvey has been a master grower and in the industry since the mid 1990's with world-wide exposure since 2004. Mr. Harvey is the Founder and CEO of BC Bud Depot ("BCBD"), a producer of marijuana seeds. BCBD takes pride in developing its award-winning THC and CBD cannabis strains. BCBD also collaborates with other breeders and dispensaries (including Reeferman Seeds, T.H.Seeds and DNA Genetics, and to European breeders like Soma Seeds and Delta-9 labs, and California's The Honey Spot), and offers over 50 proprietary medicinal strains to date with access to over 150 marijuana strains collaborated together with associated partners. During Mr. Harvey's tenure, BCBD has received over 21 Cannabis Cup awards, including 7 first place awards, 9 Top Strain awards, 6 top 3 strain awards and an induction in 2009 to the Seed Bank Hall of Fame award. Additionally, BC Bud Depot has outreach to over 11 North American dispensaries and over 60 worldwide retail and web stores which stock BCBD'S products. Most recently, Mr. Harvey has steered BCBD towards a new developmental approach to medicinal genetics, producing unique strains to be used for specific medical ailments.
Peter P. Swistak, President/CEO of Cavan Ventures Inc., states, "The depth and scope of Mr. Harvey's knowledge is unparalleled and Cavan is very fortunate to have access to this knowledge as we believe he is the best in his field with an extensive bio and proven track record. He will add tremendous value, credibility and unique knowledge to Cavan in its analysis of the Medical Marijuana and Hemp/Cannabinoid industry, and potential opportunities in that industry. We are excited to have Mr. Harvey available to us while we conduct due-diligence in the Cannabinoid/Medicinal Marijuana space."
At this time, no transactions are in place, nor is there any assurance that a new project will be concluded in the future.

That's f'd up right there lol. I know they have a terrible online rep but.........

Back when they were selling clones I ran his Godbud, merville blue and blueberry.........all were killer and as advertised. I haven't ran his seeds before but Ive never heard any good reports online.....That being said......I have a buddy who popped a pack of purps and it's the frostiest, purpliest, candy/grape flavored cut in my area and he wont part with cutz either lol.......and he bought and popped them after I told him about all the online buzz but he said fuk it and bought them and ran them anyway..........turned out killer.

So Im not sure wtf to think about BCBD really.......Ive never personally popped beans and ran them but again buddy had great results.

I know my buddy could've just gotten lucky but it really is good smoke, he rub's it in my face every chance he gets and absolutely refuses to release a cut lol..........I also know that it doesn't really matter the skill of the breeder when making S1's of a cut........No selection involved etc.

But again, Im well aware of the rep of BCBD.........but just sayin.

Their sweet god was very nice. I'd buy it again any day. Purps, hash plant, sweet tooth, the big were all disappointing. Thanks for the info.

I try not to hate on seed companies much, but the ones that screwed me out of money for hemp like plants deserve it. BCBD is the last company(except maybe DP) I would want providing genetics for LPs. This guy is probably just setting up an out for when people finally all figure out the scamming that goes on with BCBD. Sometimes I wonder how they have lasted this long. I guess full page ads and good sales talk always ensures a new batch of rookie growers not knowing better?

Legally does being involved in a semi-legal seed company not raise suspicion when involved with a legal LP? Wouldn't Health Canada and the RCMP dislike this?

Gotta look at the people behind these companies... is it that hard to make a corporation, raise investment money, hire your friends already in the game. Screw the investors, and retire... am I too honest???

A company has gotta be attractive to investors. Regardless of what the guy might actually do there it says advisor. Prob just a face to say hey fat wallets, we got bcbuddepot ceo on board. I know nothing about the man. Just sayin thats how shit works in business. Its like micheal jordan sayin he wears nike.

Likely hes the marketing guru for the seed biz. How long and profitable has he been around? Or bcbd? I dont know, long time for sure. Man must know a thing or two on makin money in the biz...

C-Ray you shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about. Last time I saw you was in 2005 when you worked for Reeferman. At that time BCBD was breeding in DVP's house. DVP was not doing any breeding. As much as he would like to say otherwise. Those are the facts. Things were a lot different back then. Our facilities now are much more advanced.

Thanks to everyone here who has grown BCBD genetics and you know where to find us if you need more. If anyone has had any issues in the past also, we are a phone call or private message away. Don't be a troll and instead seek help.

As for Cavan it's an honor to be working closely with them and on the board of advisors, we are negotiating 120 acres of land currently and this press release will come out also sooner than later. This is going to be huge and will be reflected in stock value. We are also finalizing our agricultural licenses for massive scale hemp production now.
