Hempacco (NASDAQ:HPCO) is up by more than 220% today on no immediate news about HPCO stock. However, the hemp cigarettes company made an exciting announcement earlier this month. Hempacco will be partnering with rapper Snoop Dogg to create a joint venture (JV) called HPDG. HPDG will create a consumer-packaged goods line that will be marketed by the rapper. These products will include hemp rolling paper, edibles, blunts, vapes and more.

“I’ve been looking for the best team out there to produce hemp products with me, and this team has it all – the science, innovation, and the reach,” said Snoop Dogg. “I am excited to offer my Snoop Dogg products to my fans across the country through this partnership … and this is just the beginning.”

Following the JV announcement, Hempacco submitted a Form S-1 to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that details a 4.73 million share public offering. The public offering is estimated to be priced at $1.11 per share, which would bring its total value to $5.25 million. However, the estimate was based on the closing price on Feb. 2. Today, shares of HPCO are in the high $2 range.

Following its completion, investors in the offering will own 16.8% of outstanding common stock. Other investors will own about 20.8% of common stock, while parent company Green Globe International (OTCMKTS:GGII) will own 62.4%.

On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks: With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That’s because these “penny stocks” are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that InvestorPlace.com’s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.
