Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany and Hebrew University in Jerusalem (Israel) have done a study to investigate whether cannabis can improve brain function once endocannabinoid system (ECS) activity is increased by administering cannabis.

Lead researcher Andreas Zimmer and his team got three categories of mice for this study. The first group of mice was two months old while the second group was 12 months old. The third group of mice was 18 months old. These three groups represented the young, mature and old age-groups respectively.

The mice in each age group either received a placebo or had an implant that released THC slowly into the bloodstream. This was done consistently for 28 days after which several days were allowed to elapse with no THC being administered. This abstinence period was referred to as the washout period.

Additionally, all the mice (whether they got THC or a placebo) took part in memory and behavioral tests. For example, one activity involved testing whether the mice recognized other mice to which they had been exposed prior to receiving the placebo or THC.

Another test required the mice to locate a safe platform in a pool of water. The time taken during this activity was recorded for all the mice in the study.

The results of the study were eye-opening. For example, the young mice (the group which was two months old) showed a deterioration in their memory function after receiving THC. In contrast, the mature (12 months old) mice showed an improvement in their memory function. How could this be?

The researchers studied the brain structures of these mature mice and discovered that the brains suddenly looked young (comparable to those of the two-month old mice). Specifically, the hippocampus acquired new synaptic spines, a sign that brain neurons could now communicate more effectively with each other, and thereby heighten brain activity.

In other words, the THC had rewritten the genetic programming of the brains of the mature mice. The researchers used the elimination method to discount any other factor which could be responsible for the improved brain function and the result was that the THC reversed the aging of the brain cells.

What do these results mean for humans? The work done by Zimmer and his team shows a high likelihood that older humans can see improvements in brain function if they consume cannabis. However, this isn’t a certainty until human trials are done and documented. The good news is that Zimmer has already secured funding to study how THC affects memory function in humans.

The study involving human subjects will paint a clearer picture of how cannabis can be used to combat mental decline with age, especially dementia. Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4), SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) and the entire cannabis industry wish Zimmer and his team of researchers all the best in their bid to broaden how much we know about cannabis and its medicinal value.

Two Australians, a naturopath and a neurosurgeon, have teamed up to conduct the first clinical trial in the world aimed at finding out whether cannabis can be used to treat glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer.

This type of cancer affects at least 1,000 individuals in Australia alone each year. Sadly, the majority of the patients diagnosed with glioblastoma die within one year and only 5 percent survive for five years after diagnosis.

Dr. Janet Schloss, a naturopath based in Brisbane, and Prof. Charlie Teo, a famous neurosurgeon, have teamed up to explore how patients can have better chances of surviving this cancer if medical cannabis is used alongside the conventional cancer treatments (chemo, radiotherapy and surgery).

The Australian researchers aren’t starting from zero. They have accessed studies conducted in Spain to the effect that medical cannabis inhibits the regrowth of brain tumors in animals. Some human studies have also shown that cannabis may help brain cancer patients to survive for longer.

This research only became possible after Australia made legal changes that permitted the use of some forms of cannabis for medical purposes in 2017. This legal step meant that researchers could now shift from just looking into the side-effects of cannabis consumption to studying how cannabis could be used as a medicine.

Dr. Schloss revealed that she was inspired to do this research after Spanish researchers used cannabis injections to reduce the size of brain tumors. Their research will focus on preventing the regrowth of the brain tumors because patients normally succumb to the condition when suppressed tumors regrow rapidly and cause the death of the patient.

For now, the researchers are recruiting study participants. This stage will be followed by a clinical trial lasting three months in which patients will consume 2ml of cannabis oil each night. The oil was carefully formulated by BioCeuticals to contain as little THC as possible in order to prevent the patients from waking up groggy, or affecting their sleep.

The researchers will document the extent to which cannabis supports the conventional treatments used to treat glioblastoma. The research is being conducted at the Endeavour College of Natural Health, and the New South Wales Ministry of Health has approved the clinical trial. The researchers hope that their findings will increase the options available to the patients who desperately need help in fighting this serious type of cancer. The cannabis community, including companies like Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) and Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS), are waiting with bated breath for the outcome of this groundbreaking research.

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: With the end in sight for the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, which contains provisions likely to grant hemp full agricultural legalization, and revenues from existing hemp products rising, hemp farmers are seeing reasons for excitement this fall.

• The Farm Bill is set to finally pass through Congress in the near future.
• Predicted hemp revenues for the next few years are soaring.
• Hemp is doing particularly well in states with supportive politicians, such as Kentucky.

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) has made the most of this opportunity through investment in Hempistry, a hemp cultivator with big plans for expansion. The popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) products means that hemp may soon surpass the value of other cannabis products, which is providing strong profits for companies such as Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY). This popularity will likely to lead to growth in the food and beverage industry, one reason why Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has received substantial investment from that sector. HEXO Corp. (OTC: HYYDF) (TSX: HEXO) plans to increase its 310,000 square feet of cannabis cultivation space to almost 1 million square feet by the end of the year. Meanwhile, Aphria (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA) is developing new products to tap into…

This year saw three Canadian cannabis companies introduce marijuana capsules on the market following the lead taken by Tilray last year. This year also saw UC San Diego get permission from the DEA to import marijuana capsules for a clinical trial. So, what’s the deal with capsules? Why are they suddenly becoming popular?

The first reason why capsules are a hit in the market is because physicians and consumers find them convenient when one doesn’t want to make mistakes when measuring the quantity to consume, especially patients taking marijuana as a way to alleviating their medical conditions. The medical cannabis dispensary can simply advise the patient to take two capsules a day, or whatever number may be deemed necessary for a specific patient. Those instructions will be easier to follow, consistently, since the process of deciding how much cannabis to take is easy.

Secondly, it is easy to transport the cannabis capsules in case one needs a supply close by. For example, you can simply count out the number of capsules you will need for the days when you are going to be away from home. This is different from having to carry an entire bottle of cannabis oil, for example, thereby exposing it to the risk of total loss in case it spills or degrades due to the unfavorable conditions in which you are carrying the product.

Additionally, cannabis capsules are useful for those people who find themselves in environments where it isn’t possible for them to consume cannabis in the most common ways, such as by smoking or vaping it. Such a person can just pop a capsule (or two or three) and get on with whatever he or she was doing, and none nearby will be the wiser.

Let’s face it, marijuana is still a divisive substance, regardless of what the law says in various jurisdictions. Consequently, consumers often face varying levels of stigmatization as they exercise the freedom granted by law to consume cannabis either for medical or recreational reasons. Once again, capsules can come to the rescue of the individuals who want to be discreet regarding their use of marijuana.

However, it isn’t all rosy for cannabis capsules just yet.

One shortcoming of cannabis capsules is that they cannot be standardized as yet since every individual requires a different quantity of marijuana in order to get the desired effects, whether it is feeling high or getting relief from the symptoms of a medical condition. It may therefore be expensive to ask for the contents of capsules to be customized for your needs, or you will have to make do with the estimated contents from mass-produced capsules.

The other question is: do you prepare the capsules yourself, or buy them from a manufacturer/retailer like MedReleaf Corp.? The source of the capsules is important because it will determine whether you are getting a consistent quality and quantity of cannabis that can trigger the desired effects. For now, buying from a licensed producer or dispensary seems a better route than going the DIY way.

As you can see from the discussion above, marijuana capsules look set to rise to higher levels over the years because of the many advantages that they bring. Industry insiders like Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) and Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) welcome every innovation, such as capsules, which makes it easier for people to access the cannabis they need for different purposes.

In one of the ironies surrounding recreational marijuana, anyone who tests positive for the substance can legally be fired even if state law permits the consumption of cannabis by adults. Several employers polled in Massachusetts admitted that they would continue random drugs tests. They cite a number of reasons for this.

First, many employers revealed that testing employees and firing those who test positive for the metabolites of THC helps those employers to pay lower insurance premiums. This is especially true for companies that involve the use of heavy machinery. Lower premiums mean more savings for company owners.

Secondly, employers are concerned about the safety of their customers. For example, would you be comfortable allowing someone who is under the influence of cannabis to service your pool at home?

Another reason given by employers who insist that they will continue testing their employees for drugs (and making hiring decisions based on the test results) is that those employers have a duty to ensure that their employees are safe at the workplace. Maintaining a drug-free work environment is one of the ways to protect employees from many avoidable hazards.

However, recruiters say those who conduct pre-employment drug testing are increasingly becoming the minority among employers in the state. This is because such a procedure tends to eliminate a significant fraction of job applicants because marijuana is widely consumed ever since it became legal.

Mayo Clinic reveals that anyone who consumes marijuana just once can have the metabolites of the substance in their urine for up to three days. The duration within which these metabolites can be detected increases based on how often one consumes cannabis. For instance, daily users peak at more than 30 days within which cannabis can be detected after the last time they consumed the substance.

The law legalizing marijuana in Massachusetts calls on employers to implement reasonable protections for employees who have a medical marijuana card issued by the state. Those are the only employees who may escape punitive action if they tested positive for THC metabolites during pre-employment screening or random testing once they are on the job.

But, why is there such a contradiction in the law? Federal law takes precedence over state law on many employment issues, such as the laws regarding an employer’s liability for the welfare of his or her employees. Consequently, state law permits people to consume recreational marijuana but leaves the door open for employers to take action against workers who test positive and create risks for the company.

These contradictions will only end once the federal government finally decides to legalize marijuana. How far off will that be? Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP), Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) and other industry players can’t wait to see the end of prohibition at the federal level.

As more states and countries around the world legalize marijuana, a new trend is emerging where some consumers are ditching the “cheap, generic” cannabis for specialty “craft” products. Millennials are the largest fraction of this connoisseur group of consumers.

It is true that marijuana prices have been dropping like a rock ever since cannabis was legalized in different states. Such price drops target making marijuana affordable to the mass market that is simply interested in getting hold of some cannabis for recreational (adult-use) or medical purposes.

Like all products, however, a segment of the consumers is more discerning and is willing to pay more for an artisan product which is superior to the mass market variety.

These high-end consumers pay more attention to the specific characteristics of the different strains and where those strains were grown (and, of course, how they were grown).

The tastes of these high-end consumers would not widely differ from what is seen in the wine industry where certain consumers look down on those who imbibe the cheap stuff. Call it some form of snobbery if you like, but it is a differentiation in the market that can make some entrepreneurs very rich once they address the needs of those niche markets.

It isn’t far-fetched to think of an “appellation system” for the cannabis industry where some strains are legally connected to certain geographical locations. Once again, lessons abound in the wine industry where champagne is from a particular region of France for quality reasons. The same can easily exist for the marijuana industry.

More attention is likely to be paid to the quality of marijuana as the industry matures. Don’t imagine that quality is entirely dependent on how much THC or CBD is in a given product. After all, alcohol quality doesn’t depend on the alcohol content of a given alcohol brand.

Other attributes, such as flavor, mood enhancement and medicinal value, will take on increasing importance for both cultivators and consumers.

All these benefits will start taking shape when cannabis is legalized more widely, such as at the federal level in the US. As things stand, companies are barely able to make a profit from the mass market, so it can be hard for them to invest for niche markets that aren’t sizeable enough as yet.

For now, one can only look forward to a future where there will be cannabis on the shelves for every kind of consumer, including those who demand and can afford artisan marijuana products. Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTC: GRYN), GreenBox POS, LLC (OTC: GRBX) and other cannabis companies feel that future isn’t as far off as one may think.

One of the major arguments made in favor of marijuana legalization is that it will bring economic transformation to the community. The states that have so far legalized cannabis seem to give credence to this expectation. However, could marijuana legalization have another side that legislators and advocates don’t pay ample attention to?

It is a given that tax dollars start flowing into state coffers when cannabis is legalized. This is because every sale made attracts state and local taxes that are remitted to the relevant entities. Cannabis criminalization just creates business for the criminal world without bringing any benefits to the state or local community.

Secondly, contractors and real estate agents earn even before legal sales begin. This is because these professionals get to work setting up the places from which the legal sale of cannabis will take place.

Thirdly, law enforcement personnel and other resources are diverted to address other pressing law enforcement priorities instead of being saddled with chasing down petty criminals for possessing marijuana.

Furthermore, tourism also booms when marijuana legalization takes place. Just think about the thousands or millions of people who will visit Planet 13 in Las Vegas each year! Jobs are also created once retail sales begin, and those jobs generate more taxes and other benefits. In fact, research has it that every dollar that goes to legal weed generates at least $2.4 in economic activity.

But, there is another side that needs to be considered as well.

Marijuana companies seem to be engaged in a race to the bottom when one considers the rate at which cannabis prices are dropping. As the recent MJBizCon in Las Vegas showed, innovative ways to grow cannabis are being introduced and those techniques will bring the cost of cannabis even lower.

Lower prices affect the taxes collected by states where cannabis is legal. The drop in tax collections can get so serious that some states (Colorado, for example) are raising the rates in order to shore up tax revenues from the industry.

Another unwanted outcome of the dropping marijuana prices is that cannabis companies are tittering on the brink of bankruptcy due to reduced profitability. This threatens the jobs and taxes anticipated from the industry in the long run.

California is pioneering the way forward by changing from taxing marijuana based on the price at which it has been sold to taxing it based on the weight of the product. It is hoped that this new approach will allow cannabis companies to retain more revenue and stay afloat.

However, a better prospect for the industry would be the legalization of cannabis at the federal level. How would this help the industry? It would remove the current forced fragmentation where each company has to set up infrastructure for the entire value chain in each state where it operates.

Marijuana would cross state lines, so the players are likely to consolidate their operations and lower operational costs in order to lock in more profits. Additionally, access to international markets would also help to bolster revenues and protect the local economy.

All in all, the few shortcomings seen above pale in comparison to the massive benefits observed after legalization. Cannabis companies like Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP) are certainly optimistic about the future of the industry, and that is why they are continuing to invest massively in their operations.

The North American Marijuana Index of leading cannabis stocks continues to hold onto the 250 range that it meteorically climbed into at the start of the year.

• Growing acceptance of cannabis is setting the stage for a consumable cannabis boom.
• Major companies have begun to throw their hats into the ring.
• North America is steadily headed towards broad legalization.

Canada is legalizing cannabis across the board, Mexico is fast-tracking legalization, and industrial hemp appears to be headed for legalization in the United States thanks to landslide approval in the Senate (86 to 11) of its version of the new hemp-friendly Farm Bill. Prospects of a shift in the reluctant attitude of the House as Democrats prepare to take majority there have also had a positive impact. The global cannabis market is on track to hit $146.4 billion by the end of 2025, and the industry hasn’t even seen the first real breakout commercial product in the fastest-growing CBD (cannabidiol) and beverages/edibles markets. Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) (LXRP Profile) is a contender for that recognition with bio-absorption-enhancing technology and a growing line of hemp oil CBD products. GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) continues to be the leading name in cannabinoid prescription medicines with its FDA-approved, oral CBD anti-seizure solution, Epidiolex. WeedMD Inc. (OTCQX: WDDMF) (TSX.V: WMD) ranks as one of the top licensed Canadian producers, with a multichanneled distribution strategy and 70,000 square feet of production space already online. HEXO Corp. (OTC: HYYDF) (TSX: HEXO) is another Canadian producer with a track record for low-cost production that currently has around 310,000 square feet of space with plans to tack on a whopping 1 million square feet by the end of the year. Los Angeles-based MedMen Enterprises, Inc. (OTCQX: MMNFF) (CSE: MMEN) is a rapidly expanding U.S. cannabis company with 19 licensed facilities in four key states representing both cultivation and dispensaries.

Iowa is set to launch its new medical marijuana program on December 1 but the doctors within the state seem lukewarm towards this development. Currently, only 325 out of the 7,000 doctors in the state have certified patients to start receiving medical marijuana.

Under Iowa state law, doctors cannot prescribe medical marijuana since it is a controlled substance. They can only give patients written confirmation of the condition for which the patients are eligible to enroll on the medical marijuana program.

The patient can then buy medical cannabis from authorized dispensaries after receiving a medical cannabis card from the state. So far, approximately 600 patients have been certified to get on the medical cannabis program.

Many doctors, such as oncologist Richard Deming, say that they are uneasy about participating in the program because they haven’t seen any scientific research to prove that cannabis has medicinal value.

He also adds that it is hard to recommend a treatment when there isn’t any information regarding the dosing levels for the substance that someone will take as medicine. Deming added that the whole program is different from the way doctors were trained to administer medicine or provide health care.

The Des Maine oncologist ends by saying that it would be helpful if the federal government eased the restrictions on marijuana research so that more scientific data can become available on the medicinal uses of cannabis.

The views of Dr. Deming were echoed by another doctor, Steven Adelman. The physician has only certified a single patient so far. He says more cannabis research is needed to address the concerns of the medical professionals.

Dr. Adelman says that in the present circumstances, one would conclude that the hype about the medical uses of cannabis has gone ahead of any scientific basis for those claims. This needs to be corrected, he adds.

The operators of the licensed medical cannabis dispensaries feel frustrated by the reluctance of doctors to take the first step needed to get patients on the medical marijuana program. They feel that a great disservice is being done to patients since some are reporting that they are finding it difficult to discuss medical cannabis with their primary healthcare givers.

It is unfortunate that such issues are coming up when the state has just expanded the list of qualifying conditions from only uncontrollable seizure disorders and intractable epilepsy to the current list that has nearly two dozen qualifying conditions.

However, there is hope that more doctors will come on board as more awareness drives are conducted to allay any fears they may have. FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF), Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL) and other industry players would love to see the concerns of the doctors addressed quickly so that patients can get the care they need.

More information is filtering out about the discussions that transpired during this year’s three-day Las Vegas MJBizCon that ended in the week before Thanksgiving. A leading banker from the Partner Colorado Credit Union revealed that it is very expensive for banks to do business with cannabis companies due to the huge amount of paperwork and the regulations which have to be adhered to when providing banking services to the marijuana industry.

Sundie Seefried revealed that her institution had to file more than 7,000 reports to regulators regarding the Credit Union’s dealings with marijuana businesses. Those reports were on behalf of just 220 cannabis businesses.

However, the same Union only filed 226 reports on behalf of 33,000 other clients of the financial institution. The man-hours needed to prepare and file all the reports associated with the banking activity of cannabis businesses makes it very costly to work with those companies.

Consequently, cannabis companies pay a high price for the banking services that they can access from the financial institutions willing to do business with them.

The huge amount of paperwork is a result of the federal laws that still regard marijuana as an illegal substance regardless of what state law may say.

Seefried also revealed that her Credit Union was the subject of an unusually high number of inspections conducted by state and federal regulators. For example, the industry average for such inspections is three in a period of approximately four years.

However, Seefried has witnessed nine inspections by regulators who want to confirm that the financial institution isn’t violating any banking laws in its dealings with cannabis businesses.

Such a high level of scrutiny is more than enough to deter many financial institutions from taking cannabis businesses as clients. Perhaps that could be the reason why more than half of the marijuana businesses in some states can’t find a financial institution to do business with, so they are left with no choice but to operate on a cash-only basis.

A conference participant asked whether it would ease matters somewhat if banks accepted cryptocurrencies from marijuana businesses instead of cash. Sundie Seefried responded that she had been explicitly told that it was already risky enough for her to have cannabis businesses as clients without taking on an added risk of accepting cryptocurrencies as well.

She ended by painting a bleak picture for cannabis banking. She said banks may remain unwilling to accept cannabis businesses as clients even if marijuana is legalized federally. This is similar to what happened to casinos.

Cannabis companies like Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) and Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) can only hope those grim predictions don’t see the light of day.

Recent changes in Washington, D.C., are good news for the U.S. hemp industry.

• The recent departure of Jeff Sessions from the Attorney General’s Office may make it easier for states to enforce their own laws in relation to cannabis and hemp legalization.
• The Democratic majority in the House may ease the passage of the delayed Farm Bill.
• These changes could improve the prospects for hemp and cannabis producers.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile) is a pioneer in the hemp industry, with trial cultivation operations under way in Washington and a range of hemp-derived products on the market. Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc.

(CSE: ISOL) (OTCQB: ISOLF) is benefiting from changes not just in the United States but in Mexico, where new regulations will support its sale of diverse CBD products. The first publicly traded U.S. cannabis company, Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) is also seeing growth, with record sales and a continuing high profile.

Canada became the first country in the G8 to legalize recreational cannabis. With all the buzz surrounding Canada’s cannabis boom, savvy investors have begun to assess the U.S. market, focusing on companies such as Chemistree Technology, Inc. (CSE: CHM) (OTCQB: CHMJF) (CHMJF Profile), which in July 2018 purchased a suite of physical assets, currently under lease to Sugarleaf Farm LLC, a I-502 Tier 3 licensee located in Sedro Woolley, Washington. This moved was fueled by movement north in Canada, including large Canadian cannabis companies such as Origin House (CSE: OH) (OTCQX: ORHOF) and Namaste Technologies (TSX.V: N) (OTCQB: NXTTF), which  are already seeing major success as their products continue to sell well across the country. While newer entrants in the cannabis industry such as CannTrust Holdings (TSX: TRST) (OTC: CNTTF) and iAnthus Capital (CSE: IAN) (OTCQX: ITHUF) are creating their own product lines and playing catch up with major brands that consumers are already familiar with.

There has been a push to find natural remedies to the different health challenges that people face. For example, the use of honey has been promoted to treat coughs. And now, marijuana tampons have been made to help women deal with pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS).

A company called Foria is behind the new suppositories that are laced with cannabis. The marijuana in the tampons dissolves inside the vagina after the suppository has been inserted.

Dr. Gendelman explains that the marijuana tampons bring relief from the cramping associated with menstruation. This relief is due to the antispasmodic properties of the cannabis. The effects of the marijuana tampons can last between four and six hours.

Ladies shouldn’t expect the suppositories to eliminate the bloating, but any pain and cramping related to their monthly period will be eliminated or at least reduced significantly. The tampons also help to remove the achiness and loss of appetite associated with menstruation.

What do other doctors think about these suppositories? Many doctors are reluctant to comment about the efficacy of marijuana tampons. They cite the lack of scientific data on such products as the reason behind their reluctance to endorse or dissuade patients from using the tampons.

However, those doctors’ sentiments have not stopped women from trying the products. After all, cannabis has been widely accepted as something that provides pain relief. Why should menstrual pain be an exception, they ask.

Dr. Gendelman advises ladies to be careful about the cannabis tampons that they buy. They should only select products which have been tested by third-parties and found safe for use.

The FDA is yet to approve the suppositories availed by Foria. By the way, Foria also makes other marijuana-based products for women. For example, they have a cannabis lubricant that is reputed to take the sex life of women to new highs.

Perhaps women need to be concerned about the THC in the tampons. The “Relief” tampons, still undergoing medical studies, are said to have about six times more THC than CBD. Therein lies the risk that one could get addicted to cannabis after using the suppositories for a while. Can one remain safe from addiction after using the tampons occasionally?

That question may be one of the issues that the Harvard researchers studying the cannabis tampons may be investigating. We can only hope that the outcomes of the study confirm that marijuana can be used to address menstrual pain without causing any adverse effects, such as triggering addiction. Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE: CHM) (OTCQB: CHMJF), ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) and other players in the industry wish the creators of the tampons success in their bid to get FDA approval since that would increase the footprint of cannabis in the lives of people facing various challenges.

We reported earlier that Canadians who buy marijuana using their credit cards risk being denied U.S. entry for life. This is because U.S. border agents can invoke their right to look into the purchasing history of an alien who wishes to enter the country before letting that person through. The appearance of marijuana purchases on your credit card statement can therefore give those agents an excuse to declare you inadmissible for life. However, an app has been developed which can get rid of that risk.

The GreenGreen app allows users to purchase cannabis without using their credit cards. The app works like an online-based credit card system, so buyers simply clear their cannabis bills at the end of each month in the same way that they would make payments to settle their credit card debts.

This innovation gives Canadians a chance to consume legal marijuana in their country without fearing that they will be victimized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents when they need to travel across the border.

The GreenGreen app also enables cannabis consumers to avoid the inconvenience of withdrawing cash from an ATM each time they want to buy marijuana. Remember that the marijuana industry is still largely cash-based since major banks are reluctant to do business with an industry which is still illegal in other markets, especially the U.S. market, where those banks have major operations.

Furthermore, the app reduces the risks associated with carrying cash. For example, one will no longer fear being mugged by opportunistic criminals who want to lay their hands on the cash you are carrying to buy cannabis.

However, customers in Ontario may wait a little longer before they can benefit from the GreenGreen app. This is because the app cannot be used to make online purchases and yet the province enacted laws permitting the sale of recreational cannabis by online stores only.

Nonetheless, marijuana buyers in the U.S. can register and start using the app to buy marijuana in the states where it is legal. Countless marijuana businesses in the U.S. have had to grapple with the risks associated with operating a strictly cash-based business. The app offers a way for cashless payments to be made to and by marijuana businesses.

Cannabis-related companies like Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) welcome every innovation that makes it easier for the cannabis industry to serve its clients with as few hassles as possible.

They will serve as the Vice President of Sales in California and the Vice President of Distribution, respectively.

Our operations and marketing teams have been working closely with the LTYR team analyzing consumer market data, demand metrics and pricing economics to better define all upcoming Sunniva product lines in preparation of our brand launches commencing in the first quarter of 2019. Kevin and his team are proven distribution, operations and execution specialists and we have the utmost confidence in their distribution capabilities as Sunniva ramps up for large-scale production in 2019 from both of our high-tech greenhouse and extraction facilities,” Sunniva CEO Dr. Anthony Holler stated in the news release. “Over the past quarter, we have been actively manufacturing and stockpiling inventory for our brand launches and we are excited about achieving significant revenue from all our vertical growth opportunities in 2019.”

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The North American Marijuana Index of leading cannabis stocks continues to hold onto the 250 range that it meteorically climbed into at the start of the year.

• Growing acceptance of cannabis is setting the stage for a consumable cannabis boom.
• Major companies have begun to throw their hats into the ring.
• North America is steadily headed towards broad legalization.

Canada is legalizing cannabis across the board, Mexico is fast-tracking legalization, and industrial hemp appears to be headed for legalization in the United States thanks to landslide approval in the Senate (86 to 11) of its version of the new hemp-friendly Farm Bill. Prospects of a shift in the reluctant attitude of the House as Democrats prepare to take majority there have also had a positive impact. The global cannabis market is on track to hit $146.4 billion by the end of 2025, and the industry hasn’t even seen the first real breakout commercial product in the fastest-growing CBD (cannabidiol) and beverages/edibles markets. Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) (LXRP Profile) is a contender for that recognition with bio-absorption-enhancing technology and a growing line of hemp oil CBD products. GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) continues to be the leading name in cannabinoid prescription medicines with its FDA-approved, oral CBD anti-seizure solution, Epidiolex. WeedMD Inc. (OTCQX: WDDMF) (TSX.V: WMD) ranks as one of the top licensed Canadian producers, with a multichanneled distribution strategy and 70,000 square feet of production space already online. HEXO Corp. (OTC: HYYDF) (TSX: HEXO) is another Canadian producer with a track record for low-cost production that currently has around 310,000 square feet of space with plans to tack on a whopping 1 million square feet by the end of the year. Los Angeles-based MedMen Enterprises, Inc. (OTCQX: MMNFF) (CSE: MMEN) is a rapidly expanding U.S. cannabis company with 19 licensed facilities in four…

A team of researchers interested in finding out whether cannabis could treat PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) among veterans finally registered its 76th study participant on Veterans Day.

The Scottsdale Research Institute located in Phoenix, AZ got permission from the FDA to conduct the research in 2010. The researchers then started recruiting study participants in 2016 but hit several speed bumps in their efforts to get the required minimum number of participants (76 veterans).

First, the researchers were denied access to the veterans’ hospital just 20-miles away from the facility where the research is being conducted. The Veterans Affairs department refused to grant access because federal laws regarded cannabis as a substance that didn’t have any medicinal value.

Public hospitals and universities in Arizona also refused to cooperate with the researchers as they recruited study participants citing federal laws as restricting them from being part of a study on an illegal substance.

These challenges nearly made the researchers widen the scope of the research so that non-veterans could also be allowed to enroll.

However, such a move would have defeated the purpose of the study since the researchers were specifically interested in investigating whether cannabis could treat PTSD in military veterans. The search for participants therefore dragged on as thousands were screened and rejected for not meeting the strict requirements of the study.

Gradually, the number of eligible participants started growing until the climax was reached almost two years after the recruitment exercise for participants started.

The researchers now have the 76 participants that they need to proceed with their randomized, controlled study of how marijuana can help veterans with chronic forms of PTSD.

Each day, the study participants will be given 1.8 grams of marijuana. This cannabis will vary in potency and the participants will keep a journal of how they feel or anything else noteworthy during the study period. The participants will also be free to decide how much of that daily ration to smoke.

The study subjects will visit the research institute 17 times during the 12-week duration of the study. The participants will then be followed up for six months after the initial 12-weeks of treatment with cannabis.

The researchers hope to publish their findings in 2019 after getting a definitive answer of whether cannabis can treat PTSD in veterans, and whether it has any adverse effects on those former servicemen and women.

This research comes at a time when efforts are being made to pass House Bills aimed at regulating and granting access to medical cannabis by veterans. The scientific community and cannabis industry players, such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) await the results of this Phoenix study.

As the Marijuana Business Conference came to an end in Las Vegas last week, a new business structure was mooted for the cannabis industry. Franchising. Some industry players are considering starting cannabis dispensary chains that would be the McDonalds and Starbucks of the cannabis industry.

The idea of franchise businesses in the cannabis industry is appealing at several levels.

First, consumers in America have been trained to consume products from trusted brands. That is why McDonalds and Starbucks get more clients than independent burger or coffee shops. Franchises in the cannabis industry would tap into the brand loyalty already instilled in buyers.

Secondly, a cannabis franchiser would save many cannabis investors from making the expensive mistakes that the pioneers in the cannabis industry have made. The cannabis industry is quite young, so the collective pool of experience in running cannabis enterprises is relatively shallow.

Creating cannabis franchises would help those who have created tried and tested cannabis industry systems to share (for a fee) their experiences and roadmap to success. The franchisees would benefit by starting off with a business model that has a proven track record of success.

However, some hurdles may still stand in the way of franchising as a business model for the cannabis industry in the U.S.

First, the cannabis industry is fragmented. Each state has its own rules regulating the cannabis market. It may therefore be hard for one business model to succeed in different jurisdictions whose laws differ widely. Maybe this could explain why the franchise would be very expensive to acquire. Extensive work needs to be done to tweak the model so that it fits within the state and local regulations governing the cannabis industry in different areas.

Secondly, many jurisdictions restrict the number of cannabis dispensaries or retail outlets that can be opened within a given area. Some local regulations even put a cap on the number of cannabis business licenses that can be granted to a single entity. Such requirements are intended to foster competition and prevent one business from controlling the cannabis market. How would cannabis franchisers navigate such regulations?

Thirdly, federal laws currently restrict cannabis from crossing state lines. This can present a major operational challenge to a franchiser since he or she would need to set up a vertically integrated business (cultivation, manufacture and sale/distribution) in each state where it intends to acquire franchisees. What is the minimum number of franchise outlets that would be needed to justify the expense of setting up that integrated infrastructure?

The problems above can certainly be thought through and solutions found, but it isn’t something that can be fixed in a short time. However, the franchise idea is a good one and shows that the cannabis industry is here to stay.

Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) and American Premium Water Corp. (OTC: HIPH) look forward to the passing of enabling cannabis laws at the federal level since that would be one of the factors that makes it easier for cannabis entrepreneurs to create nationwide franchises.

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Recent changes in Washington, D.C., are good news for the U.S. hemp industry.

• The recent departure of Jeff Sessions from the Attorney General’s Office may make it easier for states to enforce their own laws in relation to cannabis and hemp legalization.
• The Democratic majority in the House may ease the passage of the delayed Farm Bill.
• These changes could improve the prospects for hemp and cannabis producers.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile) is a pioneer in the hemp industry, with trial cultivation operations under way in Washington and a range of hemp-derived products on the market. Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: CWBHF) (CSE: CWEB) is also focused on hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) products and recently raised its profile through TV coverage.

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Canada became the first country in the G8 to legalize recreational cannabis. With all the buzz surrounding Canada’s cannabis boom, savvy investors have begun to assess the U.S. market, focusing on companies such as Chemistree Technology, Inc. (CSE: CHM) (OTCQB: CHMJF) (CHMJF Profile), which in July 2018 purchased a suite of physical assets, currently under lease to Sugarleaf Farm LLC, a I-502 Tier 3 licensee located in Sedro Woolley, Washington. This moved was fueled by movement north in Canada, including large Canadian cannabis companies such as Origin House (CSE: OH) (OTCQX: ORHOF) and Namaste Technologies (TSX.V: N) (OTCQB: NXTTF), which  are already seeing major success as their products continue to sell well across the country. While newer entrants in the cannabis industry such as CannTrust Holdings (TSX: TRST) (OTC: CNTTF) and iAnthus Capital (CSE: IAN) (OTCQX: ITHUF) are creating their own product lines and playing catch up with major brands that consumers are already familiar with.

In the U.S., people who admit using or test positive for cannabis are routinely denied kidney transplants or turned away when they offer to donate their kidneys. This practice has gone unchallenged until a recent study proved that marijuana doesn’t affect the outcomes of kidney transplant surgery.

The research to find out how marijuana affects recipients of kidneys during and after the transplant surgery was partly inspired by the story of a man in Maine who was denied a kidney and even removed from the waitlist because he was a user of medical cannabis.

A group of researchers reviewed the transplant records at one kidney transplant facility from 2000 to 2016. The data on the donors and kidney recipients was grouped based on whether those people consumed cannabis or not.

31 of the donors reviewed were found to have used cannabis while 27 of the kidney recipients were also consumers of marijuana.

The comparison revealed that no difference existed between the recipients who got kidneys from consumers of cannabis and those whose donors didn’t consume cannabis.

The researchers concluded that facilities should start accepting donors who consume cannabis since the substance doesn’t have any discernible effect on the performance of the kidneys after the transplant surgery.

Such a shift would increase the pool of possible donors in order to reduce the long waitlists for matches between donors and potential recipients. Finding a match is already hard enough as it is, so there is no justification to prevent potential donors from participating just because those donors have a history of consuming cannabis.

The researchers hope that their findings trigger a discussion in the scientific community and the medical centers involved in conducting kidney transplants.

The walls and stereotypes surrounding marijuana seem to be collapsing one by one. It is refreshing to realize that debunking the myths and misconceptions on cannabis is being spearheaded by the scientific community. Their findings cannot be accused of fueling propaganda either for or against marijuana. They are simply putting the facts straight.

Hopefully, those scientific studies will trigger a mindset change in the collective consciousness of communities that have for decades been brainwashed into thinking that the cannabis plant was evil and was connected to many of the social ills plaguing different communities.

Cannabis companies like TransCanna and VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) welcome the findings of the researchers studying the relationship between cannabis consumption and kidney transplant outcomes. Such findings validate some of the things that cannabis companies have been saying all along.

The U.S. National League of Cities (NLC) sat early this month and passed a number of resolutions appealing to the federal government to review its policy and laws on marijuana. The NLC represents more than 19,000 cities, towns as well as villages across the U.S.

The organization was founded back in 1924 and it aims at empowering local governments around the country. Their conference early this month passed two important resolutions on the issue of cannabis policy reform.

First, the conference passed a resolution calling on the federal government to end the ambiguity between federal and state laws on the issue of access to financial services by cannabis businesses.

Those ambiguities have restricted the cannabis industry to conducting business on cash-basis, a system that creates a number of risks including the rise in robberies and tax evasion since the authorities find it hard to track the volume and value of the transactions conducted by legal cannabis businesses.

The second resolution passed by the NLC was connected to the scheduling of cannabis by the U.S. federal government. The members called on the federal government to reschedule cannabis so that federal and state authorities have greater control over the industry.

Rescheduling cannabis would also enable federal authorities like the FDA and DEA to regulate the industry across the country so that cannabis consumers are protected from consuming cannabis which has mold, pesticides, fungus or other dangerous substances.

Currently, the regulation of cannabis is fragmented since each state that has legalized adult-use or medical cannabis has to pass its own laws and regulations to regulate cannabis within its borders.

Federal rescheduling would bring unity to the entire industry and everyone, including the federal and state governments as well as the consumers, would benefit.

The recent resolutions passed by the NLC show how the association has been evolving on the issue of marijuana. In the past, they would only pass resolutions that were general in nature. This year marked the first time that the association referred to specific marijuana laws which need to be reformed.

That boldness may be arising from the growing support for cannabis among people from all walks of life, including Republicans who have been historically opposed to cannabis legalization.

The National League of Cities now joins other groups, such as the Conference of Mayors and the National Conference of State Legislatures which have voiced their calls to have clarifications made at the federal level on issues of marijuana.

Pressure seems to be mounting on the federal government from the grassroots to reform the laws on marijuana. It remains to be seen for how long the feds will ignore those growing voices. The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR), The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and other Canadian cannabis companies would wish their American counterparts a uniform legal regime that reduces the complications encountered when crossing state lines.

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR), a vertically integrated Canadian cannabis company, anticipates that construction of its state-of-the-art indoor growing facilities will be completed in early 2019. Completion of the facilities, which will initially total 85,000 square feet, could give the company an advantage over its competition. An article further discussing the company reads, “In the cannabis sector, Flowr could become one of the most sought-after companies by investors, according to a recent report by Clarus Securities analyst Noel Atkinson. Atkinson rated the stock a “Speculative Buy,” as he believes Flowr has a unique advantage in that it will be able to successfully scale indoor cultivation of cannabis (http://cnw.fm/BUl8q). The company fills one of the most lucrative product gaps in the cannabis sector in Canada, which is the production of premium flower with enough capacity to cater to a national customer base, the report says. Atkinson expects this strong market position to enable Flowr to increase its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to $6.8 million in fiscal year 2019, supporting a projected 37 percent increase in Flowr’s stock price.”

Canada legalized recreational cannabis on October 17 and the ongoing shortages aren’t the only thing that is having Canadians concerned. Many have expressed their displeasure regarding the amount of plastic packaging that comes with each gram of marijuana that they buy.

Some keen consumers have even measured the total weight of the plastic packaging and they found that a gram of cannabis could be packaged in as much as 70 grams of plastic! That amount of packaging raises concerns since plastic is not biodegradable.

Furthermore, Canada currently lacks a program targeted at recycling the plastic waste generated by the cannabis industry. This creates the risk that all that plastic may end up in the ocean, especially in communities that live close to the shore.

Some Canadians have even taken to social media to post the pictures of the packaging materials that come with the cannabis that they buy. The views and comments that such pictures attract show that concerns about plastic packaging aren’t isolated to environmental protection fanatics alone.

Customers who used to get their marijuana from medical marijuana dispensaries say that the medical cannabis was packaged in simple, plastic zip lock bags. That form of packaging wasn’t as wasteful as what is being seen with the cannabis that comes from recreational cannabis retail outlets.

The question therefore becomes, is there a reason to explain why recreational cannabis is packaged “excessively”?

The information available on Health Canada’s website doesn’t appear to dictate the way cannabis should be packaged. The website states that the immediate packaging of cannabis should clearly reveal when tampering has occurred. That packaging should also be child-proof while keeping the cannabis dry and free from contamination.

Manufacturers are therefore free to choose how they package their products as long as the options they choose meet the requirements of Health Canada.

One can therefore conclude that the manufacturers have opted to use plastic packaging probably because it is cheap and can keep their production costs low. Glass is a more eco-friendly but costlier material to use.

What about the zippered plastic bags? Manufacturers may have pushed them to the sidelines because they may not have been as child-proof as Health Canada would like. Remember, concerns about access to recreational cannabis by minors was one of the biggest objections to legalization.

As things stand, suppliers of cannabis to the recreational market need to go back to the drawing board and find ways to avail their products without harming the environment. After all, cannabis has always been seen as the eco-friendly (natural) option to the problems that come with synthetic drugs. It wouldn’t be fair for the footprint of this green remedy to be soiled by the containers in which cannabis is carried and distributed. Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQB: SNNVF) and Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) wouldn’t want cannabis to have its reputation mired in a plastic mess.

A team of Republican and Democratic lawmakers revealed that they will be tabling three bills aimed and reforming the different marijuana policies that affect veterans in the country. The bills, if enacted, would formalize the protections offered to veterans who seek medical marijuana as an alternative to opioids as well as create mechanisms for such options to be implemented in a safe way.

The first proposed bill is titled “Department of Veterans Affairs Policy for Medicinal Cannabis Use Act 2018”. The intention of this bill is to amend and codify the existing policy at the VA office through which veterans are protected from any adverse consequences in case their healthcare providers learn that the veterans are using medical cannabis.

This new bill plans to clarify what the roles and responsibilities of veterans/patients and their healthcare providers are on the subject of medical cannabis. The bill would also require that the policy is displayed prominently at all facilities set up by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The second bill is titled “Department of Veterans Affairs Survey of Medicinal Cannabis Use Act 2018”. This bill seeks to make it possible for research to be done by the VA department in order to get concrete information about how veterans are seeking and using medical cannabis.

Such information can be vital in designing interventions which will help the veterans to get medical cannabis in a way that doesn’t compromise any other treatment which they may be receiving for their conditions. The bill is informed by the fact that just over a fifth of all veterans have used some form of medical cannabis, so the process needs to be understood by the authorities.

The third bill is titled “Department of Veterans Affairs Medicinal Cannabis Education Act 2018”. The purpose of this bill is to make it possible for the Department of Veterans Affairs to create partnerships with medical universities that are conducting training on medical cannabis. Such a partnership would help to educate primary healthcare providers about medical cannabis so that veterans benefit from that better understanding of how medical cannabis can be added to the other treatment plans of veterans. This education would take the form of continuing education.

As you can see, the bills are well-intentioned and they deserve a favorable treatment by Congress. It remains to be seen how they will be received and the final form in which they will be passed, if they get to that stage. Cannabis industry players like Sproutly Canada, Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) and Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) have a high regard for all veterans and hope that the bills make it through so that the veterans can access medical cannabis in a formal way.

Biotechnology company Earth Science Tech (OTCQB: ETST) develops and markets health-oriented cannabinoid (“CBD”) products, such as its Hygee medical devices. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Hygee medical devices provide women access to cost-effective testing while protecting their privacy. This self-sampling kit allows woman to discreetly test for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Similar to a feminine hygiene panty liner, the device is worn for four hours to collect a cervical cell sample. Once collected, the sample is then mailed to the Procrea Fertility lab where it is tested for STIs. This is a positive step forward for women who lack easy access to health care and desire an anonymous, discreet means of testing. The device has already been proven successful in detecting chlamydia and is being tested for similar results for gonorrhea. In the near future, testing will be added for additional STIs and non-STI infections.”

Pressure BioSciences Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables and platform solutions to the worldwide life sciences industry, this morning announced the featured interview of its president and CEO Richard T. Schumacher with Stock Day’s Everett Jolly. Among other highlights, Schumacher announced that the company has accomplished yet another important milestone in the advancement of its proprietary Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) platform and commercialization program. Following the company’s recent news regarding the development of the first working prototype of the UST system, PBIO reported that it has developed a proprietary method for making high quality, water-soluble oils. The company believes that this achievement will open major new opportunities in multiple markets, including the CBD sector, and will result in revenue generation in 2019.

“There are multiple products in many different markets that we believe can benefit from nanoemulsions made by UST. These markets include but are certainly not limited to, food and beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, industrial lubricants, paints, and personal care products such as sunscreens. However, because of the excellent data generated to date, the clear need for water-soluble CBD oil, its current rapid and exciting growth, and the potential to generate a strong return for our shareholders, we have chosen to focus first on the CBD market. That said, we plan to keep a very keen eye on the other markets as well,” Pressure BioSciences president and CEO Richard T. Schumacher stated in the interview.

The Federal Business Opportunities website recently featured an advert of great interest to the cannabis industry. In that advert, the federal government was inviting entities to submit their capability statements if they felt they could grow or supply different quantities of marijuana strains or products.

The advert stipulates that any firms interested in the opportunity should have the capacity to store at least 5000 kilos of marijuana.

This advert is good news to the cannabis industry because for long, it has been difficult to get hold of cannabis for research purposes. This is because the only federally-licensed producer, Mississippi University, could not meet the quantity and quality requirements of the marijuana needed for clinical trials and other research purposes. The sole cultivator was licensed in 1968 and that is how the situation remained for all these decades.

The advert also explains that any prospective cultivator should have the ability to grow or procure cannabis having different concentrations of CBD and THC from reputable foreign sources.

It will also be mandatory for the selected suppliers to manufacture standardized cannabis cigarettes.

Needless to say, the advert also asked interested companies to apply only if they have the capacity to ship cannabis securely to scientists in different locations around the country. FDA quality requirements will be adhered to for any manufacturing or storage facility used by the producers.

You should remember that this announcement comes a few months after University College San Diego got permission to import marijuana capsules from Canada since those needed products couldn’t be obtained within U.S. borders. The cannabis was to be used for clinical trials aimed at finding a treatment for childhood autism.

The invitation sent out by the federal government will therefore open the way for large cannabis industry players to take part in making it possible for scientific research on cannabis to be conducted in the US.

This business opportunity advert comes at a time when the news of the resignation of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General is still fresh in the cannabis industry and around the country. Could his presence in office have delayed the making of such decisions since he was so opposed to any form of cannabis legalization?

Industry players like Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: 03X4) and SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) can only hope that the companies which will be selected at the end of the screening process will deliver cannabis whose quality is high enough for research purposes unlike what has been previously available from federal sources.

When California legalized recreational cannabis, it allowed people to grow a maximum of six plants for their own use. The state permitted cities and other local authorities to pass their own additional ordinances or regulations to implement the law passed at state level. Some cities, such as Fontana, took this liberty as a chance for them to put such severe restrictions that various aspects of state law, such as home growing, would practically be impossible within their jurisdictions. Someone sued, and a judge has ruled striking down several sections of the Fontana ordinance on cannabis.

The issues in contention were the strict inspection and permitting process for anyone who wanted to grow cannabis at home for his or her own use.

For example, each applicant for a permit had to pay in order to have a background check performed before the home growing license could be issued. The annual permit fees were also high, starting at $411 for the year in which the application was made and then $253 for each year that an approved applicant wanted to continue having a permit to grow marijuana at home.

In addition, applicants had to allow a city official to come and inspect their residence in order to confirm that the property conformed to all city requirements.

The plaintiff argued that the restrictions went against the spirit of the state law which legalized recreational cannabis. For example, the ordinance in Fontana allowed the city to deny an applicant the license to grow marijuana if that applicant had any outstanding city dues.

Additionally, state law didn’t envisage any permitting process for anyone who wanted to grow cannabis at their residence.

It is not surprising that not a single permit has been issued to a Fontana resident to grow cannabis at home so far.

David Cohn, a superior court judge, agreed with the plaintiff and struck down several sections of the city ordinance for being in violation of state law. He explained that the city could not claim to be implementing federal law since it wasn’t a federal entity.

What are the implications of this judgment delivered in the first week of this month? The city authorities have not revealed whether they will appeal against the judgment, but indicators are that they may modify the ordinance while leaving as many restrictions as they can.

Several local authorities have tried to do whatever they can to frustrate marijuana legalization in their jurisdictions. This judgment is likely to make them think twice before they pass restrictions which are “unreasonable” and go against the intention of the enabling state law.

The judgment is also unlikely to be used as a precedent in other cases since it was made by a lower court. However, the case may give other residents the courage to challenge the laws in other localities in case those laws make it very hard for them to enjoy the freedoms given under state law.

As Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) and Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) already know, plenty of time is required to change the mindset of various stakeholders after cannabis is legalized. The prayer is that the adjustment period doesn’t drag on for too long.

Gynica, a startup in Israel, has announced that it will conduct research in order to find a new cannabis-based treatment for endometriosis. The startup will use the newly licensed Lumir Lab found within Hebrew University in Jerusalem for this research.

Gynica specializes in providing marijuana-based solutions to the problems affecting the health of women. The lab will focus on medical cannabis research and product development.

Lumir Lab is headed by Lumir Odrej Hanus, one of the leading researchers on cannabinoids in the world. He is an analytical chemist.

Lumir Lab will collaborate with Gynica in this quest for a treatment for endometriosis. Endometriosis is a health condition in which tissues from the lining of the uterus migrate to other parts of the body. The condition causes a lot of pain among its estimated 180 million sufferers across the world.

Current research shows that the reproductive system of females is the second to the brain in terms of having the biggest number of endocannabinoid receptors within the body.

This reality creates an opportunity for cannabis to be used to influence the reproductive system so that uterine lining tissues reduce or stop moving from the uterus to the other internal organs of affected females.

The planned research by Gynica and Lumir Lab is intended to understand how cannabis works to alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis, or even stop the tissues from migrating. The research will also try to find the specific cannabinoids that give the greatest effects in preventing tissue migration or curbing disease recurrence in a way that leaves the ovulation cycle intact.

In the long run, the lab plans to set the standard by which cannabis research and product development is done around the world. Such research will help to address the concerns and reservations within the scientific community regarding cannabis as a treatment for various health conditions.

Currently, many of the cannabis treatments available are largely based on evidence that may not stand up to strict scientific scrutiny. Lumir Lab wants to end all this by bringing clinical analysis, validation and product development to the medical cannabis field. Terpene and cannabinoid profiling will also be done at the lab.

It is this type of research that will make cannabis treatments mainstream since no one will be able to claim that they don’t have any scientific backing behind them. Cannabis industry companies like Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) and NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) welcome every attempt to gather evidence in support of the different uses of cannabis, including the new efforts launched in Israel by Lumir Lab and Gynica.

The 2018 Marijuana Business Conference held in Las Vegas came to an end on Friday last week after drawing record numbers of attendees. Several key issues can be identified from what transpired in Las Vegas during the conference.

Approximately 30,000 people were at this marijuana business conference. They ranged from marijuana business owners, vendors of cannabis products and investors gathering information before they make a decision to put money into the industry.

Such a huge interest can only confirm that marijuana is arguably the fastest growing industry across the world. This conclusion is valid given the rate at which different states within the U.S. and across Europe are legalizing some form of cannabis.

One of the biggest things to watch in the coming year are the changes that will be made in the way cannabis is grown. These changes are needed in order to grow as much as possible while cutting the cost of bringing the product to the market.

Some of the “smart” growing systems that were showcased could track various grow conditions, such as temperature and moisture level. The system can trigger the affected condition to be adjusted in a small area, such as a single grow bench.

In this way, you can minimize the inputs going into the cultivation process while increasing productivity. Such technologies will be key in the process of reducing the cost of producing each kilo or pound of cannabis.

Another trend to watch in the coming year and beyond is the growth in the number of pot lounges in states or countries where recreational marijuana has been legalized.

Pot lounges will play an increasing role in the cannabis industry for a number of reasons. First, different jurisdictions will have varying laws regarding the public smoking or use of recreational cannabis. A pot lounge therefore provides a haven where marijuana consumers can indulge without any fear of breaking public consumption laws.

Secondly, pot lounges provide an opportunity to create a cannabis lifestyle among consumers. The facilities can be designed and fitted in innumerable ways based on the wishes of the proprietors. This will create brand differentiation and build customer loyalty. A clear example of this is Planet 13, the largest cannabis retail store in the world located in Las Vegas. The establishment is already causing a stir in the industry and other places will have to take their cue from the standard that it has set.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA), Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) and other industry players may have left this conference confident that the outlook is bright for the entire cannabis industry.

A restaurant that will offer meals infused with cannabis is due to open in the UK on December 1. The vegetarian and vegan dishes served at this Brighton restaurant will be infused with CBD compounds extracted from the cannabis plant.

The Canna Kitchen aims at changing the way people look at marijuana. The range of vegan and vegetarian dishes infused with CBD will show that marijuana isn’t just for recreational use. The restaurant wants to show the different fragrances, flavors, therapeutic and nutritional benefits inherent in the cannabis plant.

However, a client will first place an order to have his or her meal infused with CBD. This means that vegans or vegetarians who aren’t interested in sampling the cannabis-infused offerings can still dine at the restaurant.

It should be remembered that cannabis is a restricted substance in the UK and only became legal for medicinal use on November 1 this year. Those found in possession of cannabis may be jailed for five years while those found distributing it can be imprisoned for 14-years or face huge fines.

So, how will “The Canna Kitchen” operate legally? The laws in the UK permit the use of the non-psychoactive compounds in the marijuana plant. This means that the restaurant can freely use CBD and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids in its dishes without contravening any existing laws.

Cannabis is still highly restricted across the world. Only a few countries, including Canada and Uruguay, have legalized recreational marijuana. Ten states in the U.S. have permitted recreational marijuana and there are campaigns to end prohibition in more states.

Medical marijuana has fared better across the world with more countries making it legal nearly every month. This growing interest in cannabis has prompted many huge multinationals like Coca Cola to explore avenues of making cannabis-infused drinks so that the companies cash in on the wave of popularity that has engulfed marijuana. That wave of popularity is projected to be worth approximately $75 billion by 2030. That is such a huge magnet to anyone looking for a money-making opportunity.

Against that backdrop, the idea behind The Canna Kitchen is likely to trigger other entrepreneurial ventures all geared at bringing more cannabis-infused products to the market. After all, marijuana is now the new “cool” and even politicians are falling over each other to show support for legalization.

Existing industry players like GreenBox POS, LLC (OTC: GRBX) and Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) welcome the initiative taken by the brains behind The Canna Kitchen. Such efforts will be remembered when the cannabis industry becomes fully established around the world.

The legalization of cannabis in Canada has opened the door for different tech companies to cash in on the new opportunities presented by the cannabis industry. Several companies are testing or offering tech products and the consumers are loving those products.

Lobo Genetics is one such Toronto-based tech company that has a bright future if the preliminary interest in its latest product is anything to go by.

The company makes a handheld genetic testing device which only requires the user to take a swab from his or her mouth in order to assess whether that individual will metabolize THC (the major psychoactive ingredient in marijuana).

People who are genetically predisposed to metabolize THC are unlikely to develop adverse reactions when they consume cannabis whether for recreational or medical purposes.

The testing device was initially developed with the medical cannabis market in mind, but players in the recreational space have shown massive interest in it as well.

Strainprint Technologies Inc. is another Toronto-based startup that has designed an app for the cannabis industry. This app can help people track the strains, dosage of cannabis and any side effects that they notice as they use pot.

“Save the Drive” is another tech product being finalized in Winnipeg. It is intended to help people hire someone to buy and deliver cannabis to their addresses instead of driving out to a store themselves. The current supply shortages are the only reason why this platform hasn’t been launched as yet.

However, it is not just Canadian companies getting a piece of the action. A number of US-based tech companies have also thrown their hats in the ring.

“High There!” is a social networking platform with roots in Florida. The platform gives its users an opportunity to locate cannabis users with whom they can meet and enjoy a joint. The platform saw a massive 300 percent spike in new registrations when recreational cannabis became legal in October.

The founders of “Weedmaps” are based in California. Like the name suggests, “Weedmaps” helps people to locate places in Canada where one can buy cannabis. You therefore don’t have to drive randomly in a new place looking for a store selling cannabis.

Such tech innovations paint a very optimistic future for the opportunities available to the different industries with recreational cannabis now legal. It is hard to mention a single industry that may not benefit from the nascent marijuana industry. Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP), Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTC: GRYN) and other existing players welcome the new tech firms which have seen a gap that can filled in order to serve customers better.

With Canada’s decision to decriminalize cannabis nationwide and the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill’s provision to potentially make industrial hemp and hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) legal nationwide, the cannabis CBD product sector is gaining a strong foundation.

• Analysts expect runaway growth in the cannabis and CBD markets.
• Industry is scaling up amid regulatory reform.
• Underlying growth metrics are bullish for hydroponics suppliers and cultivators alike.
• Branding and marketing are increasingly important and tied to quality control.

Numerous interests stand to benefit as the cannabis sector begins to hit its stride, ranging from cannabinoid biopharma developers to cultivators with rapidly expanding acreage footprints. Pick-and-shovel plays such as hydroponics supplier Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) could be some of the biggest winners, quietly supplying tons of hardware to a variety of end users without having to jump through the all the legal hoops. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), one of the first companies licensed to produce medical cannabis as dried flower in Canada, has quickly become known for its full-spectrum cold-extracted cannabinoids with clearly indicated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and CBD potencies. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has parlayed its leadership in cannabis and hemp with dried, oil and softgel capsule products into a landmark $4 billion investment from beer, wine and spirits major Constellation Brands, Inc. Cronos Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON), which operates two wholly owned Canada-licensed producers, is making its presence felt across five continents. And Aphria Inc. (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA) is also making serious waves as a globally minded cannabis producer, having just recently been approved for uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange.

State ballots and the departure of Jeff Sessions have led to fresh confidence in the cannabis sector.

• The cannabis industry is going through a period of huge growth.
• Two states recently voted to legalize medical cannabis and one voted to legalize recreational cannabis.
• The departure of Jeff Sessions removes a significant block for the industry.
• A variety of strategies—some focused on product and others on support services—are emerging to make the most of this market.

Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL) (GNAL Profile) has developed a dual strategy to make the most of this opportunity, investing in both product and supplies for producers. MedMen Enterprises, Inc. (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQX: MMNFF) is financially supporting further legal reform while building up a cultivation and retail business across several states. KushCo Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: KSHB) has grown from a packaging company to one providing a range of support services. As new niches emerge, The Green Organic Dutchman (OTCQX: TGODF) (TSX: TGOD) is staking its claim through a focus on organic, sustainably grown cannabis. Even non-cannabis companies are profiting from this growth, with Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG) investing in hydroponics offerings that will supply crucial equipment to cannabis cultivators.

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) is poised to benefit if cannabis were to be legalized federally in the US. Two legislators believe that federal legalization bills will be passed in Congress in 2019. An article discussing the legislators’ predictions reads, “Reps. David Joyce (R-Ohio) and Earl Blumenauer (D-Oregon) told the session that bills legalizing cannabis in the U.S. – it has thus far been a state-by-state issue – would be introduced into Congress in 2019. They specifically cited the “STATES” Act (Strengthening the 10th Amendment through Entrusting States), introduced in June, which would exempt states with legal cannabis from federal cannabis law enforcement. Both lawmakers said that the bill and other cannabis legislation will “likely pass” next year.”

Michigan voters approved recreational marijuana in the recent mid-term elections and the state is now one of those with the lowest tax rates for cannabis. Didn’t Michigan need the revenue marijuana can bring? Was it playing for higher stakes? Several arguments can explain why Michigan chose the path it took.

First could have been concerns about the black market. The tax policy implemented by any state that legalizes marijuana influences whether consumers keep buying from the black market or switch to the legal product.

Michigan seems to have learnt from the pioneer states that legalized cannabis first. California has some of the highest taxes on marijuana, and it continues to struggle with the black market since illicit marijuana still costs much less than the marijuana from regulated suppliers.

Not many consumers would be willing to pay higher prices just because what they are buying is putting money in state coffers.

The low taxes set by Michigan may be geared at driving out the black market since the legal product would be priced competitively.

Secondly, Michigan may have designed their marijuana tax policy with cannabis companies in mind. Industry players are struggling to stay competitive and profitable in the states where taxes are very high.

The prospect of setting up shop in a state with low taxes may be attractive enough to lure many players into the Michigan cannabis space.

The third possible reasons why Michigan may have decided to levy lower taxes on recreational cannabis is the need to make the product affordable to as many willing consumers as possible.

The projections of the potential volume of retail sales often factor in how many people will consume the product on a regular basis. Those calculations can come to nothing if the target buyers see it as too expensive for them to afford.

Imposing lower taxes may therefore be a smart move to bring more consumers into the industry so that the sector can have a sustainable client base.

Generally speaking, taxes on marijuana have been falling as more states legalize adult-use cannabis. California and Washington which impose taxes in the range of more than 40 percent are increasingly becoming isolated as other jurisdictions levy lower taxes.

Fortunately, voters seem to have understood the logic behind the tax policy in Michigan. They voted the ballot measure through, unlike the voters in North Dakota who voted against the proposal.

It remains to be seen whether the reasoning behind the low cannabis taxes in Michigan bears fruit or not. Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL), Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and other industry players wish Michigan all the best on the journey it has started as one of the latest states to permit recreational cannabis use.

The cannabis forum of the Retail Council of Canada (RCC) met last month to discuss the workplace implications of cannabis legalization. The forum speakers and participants raised some issues that all employers need to think about as they adjust to the new reality in the country.

The first issue related to the medical cover provided to employees. Employers were asked to think about how they would respond if employees filed claims for medical cannabis benefits. Does the law compel the employer to provide such cover, or it is left to employers to decide whether to provide those benefits?

The second concern had to do with preventing impaired employees from showing up at work. Questions were raised about how the right of the employees to consume recreational cannabis could be married to the need to prevent impairment at work.

There was a suggestion that employers can impose consumption guidelines similar to what other sensitive sectors, such as the airline industry, impose on employees. For example, pilots are instructed to refrain from taking alcohol within a certain number of hours before they are scheduled to fly a plane.

The employers were cautioned to avoid imposing a blanket ban on cannabis consumption since that would be illegal and expose them to liability issues. Only those employers who could prove that the job required total abstinence could take such action. For example, it would be reasonable to restrict security guards from consuming recreational cannabis on the job or some hours before their shift begins.

There was a call for scientific data on how long someone can be impaired after consuming cannabis. Such data would provide a basis upon which employers can draft cannabis policies for their employees.

The issue of impaired customers was also raised. It is one thing to provide guidelines for your employees and it is a totally different matter when it comes to impaired customers in retail outlets.

Members in attendance suggested that employees need to be given some training regarding how to handle customers who visit retail establishments while apparently impaired after consuming cannabis.

The possible fear of being stigmatized for consuming recreational marijuana also came up. A speaker at the forum predicted that some employees may falsely claim that they are medical cannabis users in order to explain away their impairment while at work.

Other members suggested that it would be reasonable for employers to ask employees for a copy of their documentation for medical cannabis to prevent such false claims. However, the employer should not ask for the diagnosis upon which the authorization card was issued since that would be overstepping the acceptable boundaries.

The forum ended with members agreeing that more sessions need to be organized so that people can continue to share experiences and ideas regarding the workplace implications of cannabis legalization. Such healthy and progressive discussions are music to the ears of cannabis companies like Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) since such discussions differ from the polarized, adversarial pronouncements that are made in some jurisdictions.

Canada has seen a number of cannabis cultivators shifting to the use of greenhouses instead of growing the crop in indoor grow rooms. This new development could mark the final days for the cannabis black market in Canada and elsewhere.

Greenhouses can drive down the cost of legal marijuana in several ways.

As you may know, land accounts for one of the biggest costs that marijuana cultivators have to incur in order to bring the produce to the market. Indoor grows are located on prime industrial land which costs a fortune.

The shift to greenhouses means that cannabis producers can go to rural agricultural land which is cheaper to acquire. The reduced cost of land can translate into lower prices for each pound or kilo of cannabis.

Secondly, indoor grow facilities consume a lot of electricity in order to create the ideal conditions for growing cannabis. That high cost of providing electricity has always meant that legal cannabis will be more expensive than what is available on the black market.

Greenhouses can allow cultivators to use just 40 percent of the power that they needed when they were growing the plants indoors. This reduced energy demand would then make it cheaper to grow cannabis for the legal market.

Furthermore, greenhouses allow the economies of scale to come into play. As already mentioned, rural land is cheaper than the industrial land where cannabis has been grown indoors. Mega cannabis operations can therefore be undertaken on the expansive agricultural land which is available in Canada and elsewhere where cannabis is legal.

Pure Sunfarms is an example of cannabis producers in British Columbia who have decided to harness the power of the sun to grow marijuana. The facility has greenhouses covering a staggering 1.1 million square-feet. The complex used to cultivate other produce, such as tomatoes and peppers, before the greenhouses were retrofitted for the cultivation of cannabis.

This trend is likely to be replicated across Canada and the rest of the world if production costs are to be driven downwards. That means that big agricultural operators are going to drive the smaller players out of business since the “small guys” will not manage to compete with their bigger counterparts.

Ultimately, it is the cannabis consumers who will benefit since the competition among the big players will keep driving innovation in order to cut production costs further. It is those low production costs that will eventually kill the black market since the risks of illegal production are likely to increase with the passage of time. Legal cannabis industry players like Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) long to see the day when the black market will dwindle to an insignificant level across the industry.

Debate about cannabis has taken center-stage across the world after Canada took the bold decision to legalize recreational marijuana on October 17 this year. As people observe events in Canada, the true lessons about marijuana may lie in Europe, the Netherlands in particular. Several lessons are plain to see for those who are willing to observe how the Dutch have handled the issue of cannabis.

Neutral Observation is Important

While Nixon’s government declared all-out war on marijuana and other psychoactive substances, the Dutch opted for another approach. They decided to neither outlaw nor legalize cannabis. They “tolerated” it and observed what it would do to its users and others involved in the “industry”. That observation led the authorities to conclude that marijuana didn’t pose a serious-enough public safety risk to warrant the allocation of law enforcement resources to fight it.

Lesson number one? First observe a substance you are interested in before you make any policy decisions about it. You will rarely go wrong if you take this approach.

Tolerance Disarms Counterculture

Every community will have a group of people that will want to identify with what is illegal. The hippies are an example of a counterculture movement that swept across the U.S. decades ago. The youth are another section of the community that will be drawn to anything illegal “just for just”.

Counterculture has the irresistible “cool factor” attached to it, and declaring a substance illegal instantly gives it a cool factor. See how the U.S. FDA is having sleepless nights due to the explosion in the use of electronic cigarettes by minors.

The Dutch decided to tolerate cannabis, so it was no longer a substance of choice for those who wanted to rebel against society. It wasn’t cool to light a joint. That provides cannabis lesson number two for the world.

Tolerance Limits Criminal Involvement

The Dutch don’t have a huge cannabis black market to gobble up law enforcement resources because “coffee shops” openly sell marijuana to their clients. The government controls how much stock each establishment can have, and it imposes taxes on each gram of cannabis sold.

Law enforcement just steps in once in a while to confirm that the sellers aren’t breaking any of the rules regulating the sale of cannabis. Why would anyone buy from the black market when the same product can be procured openly? Lesson three, criminalizing cannabis will only magnify law enforcement headaches without stopping the criminal enterprises involved.

Science Prevails Where Legalization Occurs

Is cannabis legal in the Netherlands? No. Is it illegal? The answer again is in the negative. Cannabis is somewhere between legal and illegal, it is tolerated. This kind of legal regime has made it hard for the scientific community to study cannabis in the Netherlands. Consequently, the country has very little to show for all its decades of cannabis tolerance. Countries like Canada that legalized medical marijuana may have more knowledge about the plant than the Netherlands where it has been available for decades.

Lesson four? Legalization is the only way through which the scientific community can devote the immense resources needed to conduct studies about cannabis. This fourth lesson, along with the other lessons, may be why companies like ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) and Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) would like to see different jurisdictions enacting laws to regulate the cannabis industry so that it grows in a responsible way instead of letting it thrive underground.

• A variety of strategies—some focused on product and others on support services—are emerging to make the most of this market.

Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL) (GNAL Profile) has developed a dual strategy to make the most of this opportunity, investing in both product and supplies for producers. MedMen Enterprises, Inc.

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: With Canada’s decision to decriminalize cannabis nationwide and the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill’s provision to potentially make industrial hemp and hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) legal nationwide, the cannabis CBD product sector is gaining a strong foundation.

• Analysts expect runaway growth in the cannabis and CBD markets.
• Industry is scaling up amid regulatory reform.
• Underlying growth metrics are bullish for hydroponics suppliers and cultivators alike.
• Branding and marketing are increasingly important and tied to quality control.

Numerous interests stand to benefit as the cannabis sector begins to hit its stride, ranging from cannabinoid biopharma developers to cultivators with rapidly expanding acreage footprints. Pick-and-shovel plays such as hydroponics supplier Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) could be some of the biggest winners, quietly supplying tons of hardware to a variety of end users without having to jump through the all the legal hoops. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), one of the first companies licensed to produce medical cannabis as dried flower in Canada, has quickly become known for its full-spectrum cold-extracted cannabinoids with clearly indicated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and CBD potencies. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has parlayed its leadership in cannabis and hemp with dried, oil and softgel capsule products into a landmark $4 billion investment from beer, wine and spirits major Constellation Brands, Inc. Cronos Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON), which operates two wholly owned Canada-licensed producers, is making its presence felt across five continents. And Aphria Inc. (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA) is also making serious waves as…

The incoming government of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in Mexico has drafted a bill which is likely to see medical and recreational cannabis legalized once Congress passes it.

The bill is intended to change the approach that Mexico has been taking to fight crime. The past 12 years have seen escalations in violence and poverty as the country fought to bring down the organized crime networks built around the illicit cultivation and sale of cannabis within and beyond the borders of Mexico, especially to the U.S.

Olga Sanchez, the Interior Minister-nominee, said that it was now time to bring peace to the country and end the war on drugs. She was alluding to the thousands of lives that have been lost due to drug-related crime, such as the wars between rival gangs over drug trafficking routes and cultivation areas.

The proposed bill will allow companies to cultivate and commercialize marijuana. Individuals would also be permitted to grow cannabis for their own use, as long as they didn’t harvest more than the maximum amount (480 grams) permitted each year for such privately grown plants.

Furthermore, individual growers will be required to register with the state so that they can be monitored to ensure that they aren’t growing more than is permitted for personal use. Smoking marijuana in public is also likely to be permitted.

The bill seeks to make it illegal for cannabis companies to employ children. Child labor has been the hallmark of the illegal cannabis industry in the past, so the law wants to make it clear that children should have no part in the legal cannabis industry.

Three key factors may have prompted Mexico to consider a change of policy with regards to marijuana.

First, individual states in the U.S. have legalized not just medical marijuana but recreational use as well. The U.S. has for long supported efforts to stamp out drug trafficking gangs in Mexico.

Secondly, the Supreme Court made five rulings in favor of individuals who were protesting against being restricted from consuming recreational cannabis. Those five rulings effectively made it a must for all other courts to permit anyone who wanted to consume recreational marijuana.

Third, the violence and deaths associated with the war on drugs in Mexico have reached alarming levels of late. For example, not less than 31,000 murders were recorded in the country in 2017. Violent crime had never reached such a level before.

The incoming government doesn’t think legalizing marijuana will magically end all that violence. It plans to offer amnesty and negotiate with many of the armed groups that have been having running battles with the armed forces.

Mexico will join Uruguay and Canada in case cannabis legalization takes place. The U.S. will therefore become isolated among its neighbors if it still insists that marijuana shouldn’t be legalized federally. Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI), American Premium Water Corp. (OTC: HIPH) and other companies with interests in the marijuana industry must be hoping that the U.S. federal government takes the hint and conducts marijuana reforms in the way that many of its own states have done.

The head of the federal prosecutors in Oregon has been selected to lead the U.S. Attorney General’s Marijuana Working Group. This group is made up of all the federal prosecutors in the states where cannabis is legal in some form (recreational and, or medical).

Billy Williams of Oregon will lead this 16-member panel. The panel examines how the different states are handling matters of law enforcement, policy and practices with regards to marijuana. The committee isn’t a new creation. It existed long before Donald Trump took office.

The panel is part of the sub-committee which advises the U.S. Attorney General on issues regarding controlled substances, such as cannabis and heroine.

The selection of Williams is significant since he has been very vocal in expressing his displeasure regarding the way the state of Oregon handled marijuana legalization. He has always pushed for stronger measures to cut off the supplies of marijuana into the black market.

Early this year, Williams revealed his priorities for the federal prosecutors under his leadership in Oregon. He wanted enforcement efforts to be focused on stamping out the illegal cannabis market in the state as well as ending the illegal cultivation of marijuana.

Recently, he again stated that overproduction and the black market have become major law enforcement issues on the west coast where cannabis is legal for both recreational and medical use.

His zeal for “greater regulation” seems to have now received a bigger platform upon which he can promote his desire to see multi-district efforts to control the burgeoning cannabis industry.

Interestingly, the press release announcing the selection of Billy J. Williams was released on the very day that Jeff Sessions resigned as U.S. Attorney General.

It would have been worth following how Jeff Sessions, known for his strong opposition to any form of cannabis legalization, would have acted if he had Williams (a man known for his zeal to see tougher marijuana legislation) as his de facto chief advisor on matters of marijuana. Industry players could be sighing with relief that those two men never got to work closely together.

Medical marijuana became legal in Oregon in 1998 while a ballot measure legalized recreational cannabis in 2014. This means that Oregon was one of the pioneer states to allow adult-use cannabis. The zeal of Attorney Williams can therefore be seen in some quarters as an attempt to roll back the tolerance of cannabis in that state.

Marijuana industry players like TransCanna and VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) will be observing how Williams will perform his duties in this new office to which he has been selected.

Researchers at Stanford University were intrigued by the numerous reports on the internet claiming that cannabis was beneficial to the sex lives of women. The researchers therefore decided to put that anecdotal evidence to the test. The results, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, confirmed that women had better sexual experiences if they consumed cannabis before indulging in sex.

Don’t imagine that bespectacled old scientists stood by with their microscopes and other instruments in order to measure what was happening as the study’s subjects had sex. No, nothing of the sort happened.

Instead, an Obstetrics/Gynecology (ObGyn) clinical practice was used to recruit nearly 200 adult women who were sexually active. The participants were given questionnaires eliciting their assessment of how cannabis affected their sex lives.

Of those who said that they consumed cannabis before having sex, 68 percent admitted that sex was more enjoyable for them. 72 percent of those who said cannabis makes sex more pleasurable added that those beneficial effects happened each time they had sex after consuming cannabis.

Interestingly, 62 percent of the respondents who consumed cannabis before having sex revealed that cannabis made their orgasms more intense and pleasurable. None reported that her sex drive reduced as a result of consuming cannabis before having sex.

27 percent of the respondents also admitted that marijuana helped to increase vaginal lubrication during sex. However, 37 percent said they didn’t observe any change in the level of lubrication whether they consumed cannabis before sex or not.

16 percent of the women in the study admitted that they took cannabis before having sex in order to reduce the pain they normally felt during intercourse. 83 percent in this category of women said pain during intercourse was reduced each time they consumed marijuana prior to having sex.

While releasing their findings, the researchers said that the results above were their preliminary findings since they intended to continue the study over a longer time and include more respondents.

However, the researchers were convinced that it was indeed true that the consumption of cannabis resulted in an overall improved sex life for women.  Only 10 percent of the respondents claimed that their sex lives weren’t improved by cannabis consumption prior to sex. The degree of that improvement (or lack thereof) seems to be impacted by other factors which are yet to be identified. Cannabis companies like The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) and The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) may not have been surprised by the findings of this research since they are aware of the massive benefits of cannabis in the different aspects of life.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? Not so, if the recently opened recreational cannabis megastore is anything to go buy. Las Vegas has always been known for setting the bar when it comes to giving people a good time, but the level to which “Planet 13” has taken cannabis will send waves around the world due to its massive size and opulence.

Nevada State Senator Tick Segerblom summarized it well in his opening remarks when he said, “Welcome to Amsterdam on steroids!” Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, has previously held the record for being the best destination for those who want to consume recreational cannabis.

Now Planet 13 has bested the entire Amsterdam, and some. All in one swell swoop. The mega-store is located in what was formally a warehouse but now hosts the 112,000 square-foot recreational cannabis retail giant. The facility has a mind-boggling 45 cash registers intended to serve the patron who will visit this superstore to sample what is on offer.

The superstore also has interactive LED displays that are designed to magnify the glitz and glamor of the facility.

Larry Sheffler, the business partner of the CEO of Planet 13 said that their intention was to “out-Vegas Vegas” when they set up the megastore. The results of their efforts certainly don’t disappoint.

Planet 13 is strategically located within a walking distance of other tourist attractions and facilities like Mirage, Treasure Island and Palazzo. Even Trump International Hotel is within a walking distance from the cannabis retail superstore.

The cannabis retail megastore plans to lure more people to spend their money on Nevada’s adult-use cannabis for decades to come. Nevada legalized recreational cannabis in 2016 and retail sales started in July the following year (2017).

The maiden year of adult-use cannabis sales raked in revenues that exceeded the optimistic projections by 40 percentage. That year, the state government earned $70 million in taxes from the retail sales of cannabis worth $425 million.

Many of the politicians present at the launch remarked that Nevada had learnt from Washington and Colorado and decided to make the regulators work closely with the cannabis industry instead of taking a hostile stance that would have stifled the growth seen so far.

The cannabis-free formal launch of Planet 13 was followed by an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 1 to start retail sales there officially. Anyone keen to sample the cannabis sold there can now visit the megastore. If you are from a state that hasn’t legalized adult-use cannabis as yet, treat yourself to what is available at Planet 13 while taking comfort in the maxim that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! You can bet that Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) and Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) are toasting to Planet 13 and wishing it the very best Vegas and cannabis have to offer.
