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.

• 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.

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.

The first weekend of November witnessed the first ever cannabis grow workshop in Cape Town, South Africa. Event tickets were sold out in two days flat after the organizer, Grant Taylor, went to social media to announce the event.

He said that the idea of organizing a workshop on how to grow marijuana was motivated by two things. First, the Constitutional Court ruled recently that adults were free to grow and consume cannabis in South Africa as long as it wasn’t sold or consumed in public.

Secondly, Grant had previously tried to grow something and he had failed miserably. He had also recently heard many people who live in apartments saying that it was impossible for them to grow anything in such an environment.

The workshop was therefore organized to teach people the complexities involved in growing cannabis organically. To that end, organic soil and pots were also on sale so that event attendees could go and start cultivating their own marijuana or any other plant they wished to grow.

Grant and his team of organizers didn’t have any cannabis seeds or plants on sale during the workshop. This omission was deliberate since the court ruling allowing citizens to grow and consume marijuana didn’t permit the sale of marijuana or its products.

Grant Taylor admitted that putting the event together wasn’t a smooth task. He was denied the venue he preferred because the management at that venue wasn’t comfortable about hosting a cannabis workshop in their premises.

Grant had used that same venue in the past to host trainings in hydroponics, but that history wasn’t enough to secure the venue for a workshop on cannabis.

Grant isn’t deterred by such setbacks and he plans to host similar events in future.

For now, one of the co-organizers of the cannabis workshop is going to set up and run a vlog (video blog) on cannabis while Grant will set up a Facebook group and manage it in addition to operating a website on cannabis cultivation.

Contrary to what some people may have thought, the Grow Cannabis Workshop wasn’t attended by drug addicts. Ordinary people like florists, nurses and dentists were in attendance to learn how to grow this plant.

Those interviewed at the workshop said that they wanted to learn how to grow cannabis so that they could have a supply for medicinal use.

It is such ordinary people that give Grant his drive to create a group of likeminded people for purposes of sharing ideas and experiences. Cannabis companies like SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) and Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) know that it is through people like Grant Taylor that major changes can take place in any community.

A new film focusing on how medical cannabis has helped children suffering from cancer has been released. The film is titled “Weed the People”.

Abby Esptein, the director of the movie, said that the purpose of the film was to address the stigma directed at medical marijuana.

The documentary shows babies whose lives are literary fading away as a result of undergoing chemo and other conventional forms of cancer treatment. However, the use of medical cannabis transforms the lives of those babies and saves many of them from imminent death.

The movie traces the journey of different parents who are battling to access medical marijuana in order to save their kids’ lives from the ravages of cancer.

The timing of the movie seems to have been perfect given that the FDA recently approved a cannabis-derived drug for the treatment of epilepsy. Such regulatory approval seems to go against the long-held attitude towards cannabis as something that doesn’t possess any medical value.

Rickie Lake, the producer of “Weed the People” says cannabis was a medicine for thousands of years and it has only been a restricted substance for about 80 years. That restriction was the result of people being brainwashed to abandon the use of a plant with nearly countless benefits, the producer added.

The filmmakers revealed that their project has been in the making for the past five years, so no one should imagine that the film was motivated by the recent wave of public opinion in favor of medical marijuana.

They hope that the film will provide the missing link which will convince the general public about the usefulness of cannabis. They also hope that the movie will help to propel understanding of medical cannabis, and possibly address the opioid epidemic in the country.

In the film, parents choose medical marijuana instead of prescription meds. The results show how right those parents were since their kids improve remarkably while they are on medical cannabis treatment.

The producer of “Weed the People” says that her interest is to create awareness about the different treatment options available to patients. Whether or not those patients opt for medical marijuana is of little interest to her as long as any decision that a patient or caregiver makes is an informed one.

After watching the stories of the approximately half a dozen children on medical marijuana, one is left asking himself or herself why the American federal government is so opposed to legalizing a substance which is having such untold benefits to kids with cancer. You can bet your last dollar that Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) and Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) are asking themselves that same question.

Over the coming months and years, more and more U.S. cannabis companies are likely to move north in order to list on stock exchanges in Canada. Many short term and long-term interests are driving this move.

First, Canada recently legalized recreational cannabis years after medical cannabis was permitted in that country. This means that the uniform laws in Canada make that country more attractive (for now) than the U.S. where marijuana companies operating in legal states must constantly look over their shoulders in fear because the federal authorities can take action against them for violating federal laws.

Legitimate cannabis companies in the U.S. constantly feel hunted and moving to Canada can provide some reprieve from the legal issues back home.

The legal issues in the U.S. also make it nearly impossible for cannabis companies to access banking services. Companies conduct all their transactions using cash, and it is hard to find where to keep all that money.

The Canadian environment allows marijuana companies to access some measure of banking services although the bigger banks that have an international presence still keep cannabis businesses at arm’s length due to fears about possible complications in the U.S. and other countries where marijuana is illegal.

Another reason that is driving U.S. marijuana companies across the border to the north is the friendlier listing requirements in Canada when compared to the conditions in the U.S.

For example, only companies that are valued at more than $100 million in publicly held securities can apply to list on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). NASDAQ accepts companies whose pre-tax income has been at least $11 million for three years in a row.

Those strict conditions make it hard for marijuana companies to list as soon as they would want in order to access financing to grow and consolidate their positions in the market.

In contrast, the TSX exchange requires a company to have books of accounts that show that the company had at least $300,000 as their pre-tax income the year before they apply to list. Of course there are other conditions, but the income/company valuation differences show how friendlier the stock exchanges in Canada are.

Furthermore, the stock exchanges in the U.S., such as the NYSE, don’t have many purely cannabis businesses listed (partly because of federal laws). Biopharmaceutical companies like GW Pharmaceuticals are the ones one is likely to find on those exchanges. This limits the opportunities for serious market activity for the industry.

Canada has numerous cannabis businesses traded publicly. This provides a vibrant market for companies which want to benefit from the capital that can be got when companies are listed.

As you can see from the factors above, the exodus of U.S. cannabis companies into Canada is likely to continue until conditions back home improve and open that potentially bigger market. Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE), NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) and other companies with interests in the marijuana sector can only hope that the U.S. market opens up sooner.

A few days ago, we reported about a landmark case in Colorado that had the potential to set a precedent that could have huge implications for the cannabis industry across the US. In that lawsuit, a couple sued a marijuana grow facility for making the plaintiffs’ property “lose value” due to the smell coming from the indoor cultivation facility.

That case was the very first of its nature to reach a jury and the entire cannabis industry watched with bated breath to see what decision will be made once the hearings end and the jury retires to make its verdict.

The defendant had planned to use property rate valuations as proof that the claim was unfounded since the state kept collecting higher taxes from that neighbor’s property due to the property’s increase in value despite the presence of the indoor grow in the area.

The case was heard and the jury withdrew to consider the evidence and arrive at a decision. In less than half a day, the verdict was ready and the plaintiffs’ claim was dismissed.

It is unlikely that the couple will appeal the federal court’s decision in a higher court since they stand a minimal chance of succeeding after this decision.

Industry watchers and the legal fraternity have said that the Colorado decision may have poured water on any other individuals or groups that were planning to target cannabis companies using the anti-racketeering laws of the mafia era.

In fact, three other lawsuits of the same nature are still pending in Oregon, Massachusetts and California. It isn’t known how many other copycat lawsuits would have been filed if the events in Denver had gone against Parker Walton’s cannabis grow facility, but chances are high that opportunistic law firms would have egged on many property owners to file cases.

The jury’s verdict has therefore put a dampener on all those who were harboring thoughts of shifting their attack against the cannabis industry to another front.

However, the risk of lawsuits still remains since there is a mismatch between the laws in states where marijuana is legal and federal laws that regard cannabis as a Schedule 1 substance (no medical use but a high likelihood of being abused). It is also very expensive to defend against such lawsuits, and Walton may have ended up losing his business if the jury had ruled against him.

Other companies in the industry, such as Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) and Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) may be celebrating the verdict from Denver, but other threats to the industry still remain.

The growing popularity of cannabidiol (CBD), a powerful but nonpsychoactive cannabinoid found in plants of the cannabis family such as industrial hemp, has a lot to do with consumer experience roundly validating the increasingly body of scientific evidence for CBD’s therapeutic value.

• CBD demand is increasing rapidly as consumers run ahead of the studies.
• Branding is key to capturing market share while formulation quality drives consumer loyalty.
• The global potential for the CBD market is immense and largely untapped.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile) has taken several key steps to set itself up as a power player in the burgeoning CBD space, acting as a cultivation site landlord while also developing revolutionary products containing proprietary CBD compounds via its wholly owned subsidiary, hempSMART. CV Sciences Inc. (OTCQB: CVSI) just introduced PlusCBD Oil™ Gummies at the Natural Product Expo East 2018. Los Angeles-based MedMen (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQX: MMNFF) just signed a $33 million deal to acquire Kannaboost Technology Inc. and CSI Solutions LLC, collectively known as Level Up, an Arizona-based vertically integrated marijuana firm. OrganiGram (TSX.V: OGI) (OTCQX: OGRMF) has just has signed a supply agreement with BC Liquor Distribution Branch, the sole, wholesale distributor of nonmedical cannabis for British Canada. And symbolic of its presence in the cannabis market, Aphria (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APH) debuted on the New York Stock Exchange last week.

As the U.S. is still grappling with how to deal with the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada, its challenges are likely to increase if what is happening in its other neighbor’s legal system results in the legalization of recreational pot.

Last week, the Supreme Court in Mexico made two rulings to the effect that it was unconstitutional to prevent adults from consuming marijuana if they so wished. The cases that resulted in those rulings had been filed by individuals who were challenging the constitutionality of stopping them from consuming recreational marijuana.

The court observed that adults have the right to choose whether or not to consume cannabis, so it is improper to deny them that right.

Between 2015 and 2017, three similar rulings were made by the Supreme Court, which is the highest court in Mexico.

The court ruling also indicated that the right isn’t absolute, so the state still has the mandate to restrict the exercise of that right. Individuals must therefore argue their case before the judicial system in order to get express permission to consume a restricted substance.

However, the previous three rulings on the subject now bring the total number of similar rulings by the Supreme Court to five. Under Mexican law, any subject that accumulates five similar rulings in the Supreme Court sets a precedent which all the other courts must follow.

In effect, that means that no court will be able to object to anyone who applies to start consuming recreational marijuana. The bigger implication is that the way has been cleared for recreational marijuana to be legalized since the legislators cannot leave such an issue unregulated now that the Supreme Court has made five rulings in favor of the complainants who challenged the constitutionality of the criminalization of adult-use marijuana.

A similar scenario played out over same-sex marriages. The Supreme Court made five rulings allowing gay couples to wed so it was no longer possible for such a marriage to be blocked through judicial means. However, no law has been passed as yet to regulate same-sex marriages.

Recreational marijuana is different in that the way may have been opened for thousands or even millions of people to apply to the courts of law in order to be allowed to consume recreational marijuana. Such a possibility can choke the legal system, not to mention the public health and safety concerns that may arise when such a large number of people is allowed to consume recreational marijuana in the absence of any laws to regulate such consumption other than the requirement that the individuals don’t sell the substance.

It is therefore likely that the country’s legislative body (congress) will soon draft a law to regulate recreational marijuana. Medical marijuana became legal in 2017, so it isn’t as though drafting laws on marijuana will be a new thing for the legislators.

It remains to be seen how the U.S. will respond to the legalization of recreational marijuana by all its neighbors. Already, the government has been fighting the smuggling of marijuana from Mexico. Companies with interests in the marijuana industry, such as GreenBox POS, LLC (OTC: GRBX) and Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) may be pleased that additional markets will soon open and increase their opportunities.

A recent review of animal studies has found that the differences in the way men and women are affected by marijuana aren’t just a social or cultural construct. The review found that those differences are rooted in biology (the differences between the genders).

The findings of the review appeared in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience. The review explored the relationship between sex hormones like estrogen (estradiol), progesterone and testosterone on the endocannabinoid system in the body. That endocannabinoid system has similar (cannabinoids) chemicals to those found in cannabis.

The researchers found that males are more likely to try marijuana and also use higher doses of the substance. This can be attributed to the male sex hormone (testosterone) which encourages risky behavior.

Those same male sex hormones also suppress the reward system of the brain. This explains why higher doses may need to be consumed to get the same effect as the person felt upon first consuming the substance.

The suppressed reward system explains why men often take longer to get hooked on a substance. In contrast, women try smaller doses but get hooked faster than their male counterparts do.

Women have more cannabinoid receptors in their brains than men do. The receptors are concentrated in the areas of the brain which control the filtering of sensory input sent to the brain, body movement and social behavior. Women are therefore more likely to exhibit signs of being under the influence of cannabis when compared to men.

It was also found that the consumption of cannabis and other psychotropic substances often triggers the production of more estradiol in women. This triggers the urge to consume more cannabis or whatever substance has triggered the production of estradiol. Addiction is the result of that cycle.

The researchers found that the number of cannabinoid receptors in the brain of females increases as the individuals age. Increasing age has been correlated to high estrogen levels in women, so this finding isn’t different from what has already been known about the hormonal system of women.

Dr. Liana Fattore, the co-author of the study, remarked that detoxification programs need to be customized for the different genders if success rates are to increase. The measures to prevent a relapse into substance abuse should also be tailored to the needs and risks of each gender.

The study authors also called for further research to be conducted to get a better understanding of the source of the differences in the way men and women respond to cannabis. Cannabis companies like Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP) and Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTC: GRYN) appreciate the work done by scientists to help society understand how and why cannabis affects the body.

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: As the cannabis industry sees its profits and legitimacy rise, the market potential is drawing increased attention from big investors.

• The U.S. and global cannabis sector is seeing great growth, lifted by the success of medical and recreational cannabis and legalization in Canada.
• This is drawing in previously reluctant investors as companies become listed on stock exchanges.
• Greater integration within the sector is both a symptom of and a support for this cannabis boom.

Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTC: NUGS) (NUGS Profile) shows this integrated approach, bringing together cultivation, product sales and personnel services for the cannabis industry. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is working across borders on international research to create better cannabis-based medicines. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has benefited hugely from the surge in investor attention, receiving billions in investment from the beverage sector. CBD products are allowing parts of the cannabis sector to achieve widespread acceptance, thanks to the work of companies like Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: CWBHF) (CSE: CWEB).

Canadians who are queuing to buy recreational marijuana may be unwittingly making it harder to be allowed to travel to the U.S. if the federal government in America doesn’t soften its hard stance on the marijuana industry.

This concern takes on greater importance given that federal agents at entry points have the leeway to perform any background check necessary before admitting someone into the country. Those background checks can include looking into how someone has been using his or her credit cards.

People who have bought cannabis using their credit cards therefore face the risk of being denied entry into the U.S. since the authorities there may view them as individuals who are connected to an illegal industry (even if marijuana is legal in Canada for both medical and recreational use).

The possibility of having your credit card history reviewed may increase in case the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) agents ask a traveler about cannabis and they have reason to suspect that the person isn’t being truthful in his or her responses.

Canadians shouldn’t imagine that the sheer numbers of people traveling across the border to the South is so high that it may be practically impossible for the border agents to look at everyone’s credit card history. It is possible, and you may be that one person who is singled out for such a background check.

The Canadian province of Ontario currently only allows residents to use their MasterCard or Visa cards to buy recreational cannabis online. This means that the people in this province are at a higher risk of being in the crosshairs of the American border agents if credit card purchases are ever looked into before one is allowed to cross into the U.S.

Don’t rely on the words of comfort coming from the different tech giants like Google, Amazon and Microsoft saying that they will protect the data of Canadians. The Patriot Act can be invoked to compel those companies to release any information that the US government requires in its bid to keep the homeland secure.

Over time, the position of the US is likely to evolve in order to accommodate its neighbor since keeping all Canadians involved in the cannabis industry as workers, investors or consumers out of the country may end up hurting the US. Until that time comes, one should use his or her credit card for making marijuana purchases only when it is unavoidable. Even Americans who cross into Canada and buy cannabis using their credit cards may be affected later on even if the border agents cannot stop them from returning home.

The fears resulting from differences in the laws governing marijuana in different jurisdictions also give cannabis companies like ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) and FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) major headaches that they would wish to see end sooner rather than later.

The International Cannabis Alliance (ICA or InterCannAlliance) has been formed to foster collaboration between the marijuana industry players in the different regions of the world, such as Latin America, Africa and the Asia-Pacific regions.

The formation of this new group was spearheaded by New Frontier Data and CannaTech. New Frontier Data is a global authority on data and analytics for the cannabis industry. CannaTech has carved out a name for itself for advocating for cannabis education and connectivity across the world.

The objective of forming ICA was to inform and educate thought leaders and players in the cannabis market about effective, responsible and transparent practices that those in emerging markets should copy from the more developed cannabis regions like North America (Canada and parts of the US in particular).

The speed with which new cannabis products are being taken to the market raises concerns that mistakes may be made when industry growth is so fast in regions that don’t have any experience in the different aspects of the cannabis industry. InterCannAlliance hopes to share the lessons that various regions have learnt so that the emerging markets/regions avoid making any mistakes that may have already been made and corrected in other regions.

ICA also plans to share any expected opportunities in the cannabis industry so that participants can plan how to take advantage of those opportunities.

Each region is different in terms of the challenges that it is likely to face when embracing cannabis. For example, the Africa region may face challenges of obtaining funding and technical expertise while the Asia-Pacific region may not have a problem getting manpower with the required technical expertise.

ICA intends to engage the players in the different regions so that ways around those unique problems can be found.

The International Cannabis Alliance will be holding symposiums in the different regions to foster its objectives and mandate.

The first of those symposiums will be held in Latin America next year (2019). The one-day event will only be open to those who have been invited to attend.

Different entities will be in attendance to deliver keynote addresses about different aspects of the industry. For example, Hoban Law Group will discuss cannabis regulation while SteepHill Labs will talk to the invitees about laboratory testing of cannabis and cannabis products.

The cannabis industry has been fragmented for too long. For example, marijuana companies in US states that have legalized medical or recreational marijuana are compelled to be involved in the entire cannabis value-chain (breeding, cultivation, processing and sometimes distribution) since cannabis cannot cross state lines. Such fragmentation stands in the way of unified growth in the industry.

The ICA initiative is therefore a welcome development since it will save different regions and players from trying to reinvent the wheel and yet they can build upon what has already been done elsewhere.

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST), Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and other marijuana companies definitely welcome any attempt to unite the players in the cannabis industry so that they can work together for the benefit of the people they serve.

Many patients celebrated when the UK government announced that doctors could start prescribing medical marijuana come November 1. However, the reality after that date is turning out to be frustrating for many patients as doctors seem reluctant to prescribe medical marijuana.

The first hurdle that patients have to negotiate is to find a specialist doctor who can prescribe medical marijuana for the condition which the patient has. This requirement is different from what happens in other countries where any GP can prescribe medical marijuana after enrolling to participate in the program.

As it is, many specialist doctors approached by patients for a prescription are turning away those patients for a variety of reasons.

Some of the doctors are saying that medical cannabis is just a fad which will pass in no time. They therefore see no need to involve themselves in such a “passing wave”. Such a mentality shows how much needs to be done to inform doctors about the medicinal benefits of marijuana.

Other specialist doctors are refusing to prescribe medical cannabis because those products are an unknown entity which hasn’t been subjected to double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials similar to what other drugs or pharmaceutical products undergo before coming to market.

The doctors fear that they could be held liable in case an adverse effect occurs to a patient for whom that doctor wrote a prescription for medical cannabis.

Such a fear could have been resolved in case appropriate regulations had been passed to control which marijuana products are permitted on the market.

Even patients who don’t go through specialist doctors and opt to apply to the temporary approval panel to get a license for medical cannabis have been met with rejection.

Hannah Deacon is the mother to one of the two boys whose cases generated such a huge public outcry that the government changed the existing law to make medical marijuana legal in the UK. She now works with a cannabis campaign group and has been getting calls from parents whose kids have been denied medical cannabis prescriptions.

A consultant neurologist, Dr. Waqar Rashid, understands the frustration of the patients who want to access medical cannabis. He also appreciates the concerns of the doctors and he has therefore formed a society of medical cannabis clinicians in order to disseminate information about medical cannabis. The group will form the core around which other doctors will be brought on board to prescribe medical cannabis. So far, 60 clinicians have joined that group spearheaded by Dr. Rashid.

The efforts by clinicians like Dr. Rashid and the groups of parents and patients, such as the one Hannah Deacon works with, are the way to go if clarity is to be attained on the way medical cannabis is to be availed to the patients who badly need it. Participants in the cannabis industry, such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) applaud all those who are adding their voice to the calls for medical cannabis to be accessible to everyone who needs it within the UK or elsewhere.

We wrote earlier that cannabis shortages were registered across Canada from the time recreational cannabis became legal in the country. Those shortages seem to be getting worse with Quebec announcing that its government-controlled retail stores would close for three days each week for an unforeseen duration until marijuana supplies can be obtained in the quantities which can satisfy the currently high demand.

The SDQC, the government agency charged with trading in cannabis within the province of Quebec, announced that its stores would be closed every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

These closures would help the stores to serve their customers better on the days when the stores are open. However, the closures don’t mean that customers are guaranteed that they will always find what they want on the days when the cannabis retail stores are open.

Online sales haven’t been affected by the store closures, but many online outlets list several products as out of stock.

Cannabis producers and suppliers seem to hold the key to ending the shortages by availing cannabis products in the amounts ordered by the different stores in the province.

Interestingly, Quebec has several licensed cannabis producers, such as Aurora Cannabis. The company said that they were doing everything possible to meet the existing demand for cannabis, but they can’t force the cannabis plants to grow faster than they do.

Such a statement seems to be a worrying pointer to customers that they may have to wait for a long time before cannabis supplies stabilize and stores open on a daily basis.

Industry players suggest that such supply hiccups are inevitable each time a new industry is opened since no one can predict accurately how the market will respond. For the case of recreational cannabis, the market seems to have been yearning for the product in a way that not even the greatest optimists among the producers could have ever imagined.

Francois Legault, Quebec’s Premier, expressed surprise that there were shortages and hurried to add that it wasn’t his government that designed the distribution system. He was also concerned about the effect of marijuana on young people and vowed to do what he can to raise the minimum age at which one can legally consume recreational cannabis in the province to 21.

With legal weed so hard to get, it will not be surprising when the people resort to the black market to get high. Such an eventuality can have undesired outcomes, such as exposing users to untested products which can be harmful in the short or long-term. The government also loses tax revenue each time a person buys a joint from the unregulated (black) market. Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF), Canopy Rivers, Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) and other players hope that the shortages can end quickly before public interest in marijuana wanes.

This year will see the largest U.S. hemp crop since changes to federal law created an avenue for production to start again, turning over decades of fallowed industry.

• Thousands of acres of hemp will be harvested across 19 states.
• Kentucky is seeing particularly good crops, due to near-perfect growing conditions over the summer.
• The main product taken from these crops will be cannabidiol (CBD) oil, used in a growing range of health and wellness products.
• Crop production is set to continue increasing in light of high demand and legal changes.

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) is profiting from this development by expanding from hydroponics into investment in hemp production, broadening its cannabis-related portfolio. Other companies are expanding internationally. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is now working with affiliates and subsidiaries in Europe, South America and Australasia. Cannabis grower Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has drawn billions of dollars in investment from the beverages industry as big companies look to get into the market. And Aurora Cannabis, Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB) has established an extensive network of supply agreements across Canada, which will help to raise sales and awareness of cannabis and related products. New uses are also set to increase demand, thanks to research by companies such as Cronos Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON).

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR), a vertically integrated Canadian cannabis company headquartered in Markham, Ontario with a Kelowna, British Columbia-based production facility, is making a name for itself in the booming cannabis sector. FLWR was recently covered in a research report by Clarus Securities, which was then highlighted in a recent article published by CantechLetter.com, titled ‘The Flowr Corporation could be a big winner in the cannabis space, Clarus Securities says’. The research report describes the company as “one of the very few Canadian licensed producers of cannabis with experience in successfully scaling indoor cultivation of premium product.” Clarus Securities initiated coverage of FLWR with a “Speculative Buy” rating and one-year price target of $5.00.

“We believe The Flowr Corporation has the potential to be the most successful Canadian cannabis Licensed Producer focused on serving the superpremium product segment,” Clarus Securities analyst Noel Atkinson stated in the report. “The founding production team has decades of collective experience in designing, building and optimizing indoor (or “warehouse”) cultivation projects, most notably for the original MedReleaf facility in Markham, ON (still considered today to be the gold standard for indoor cultivation in Canada). The company has its cultivation and dried flower sales licenses and supply agreements with at least three provinces including B.C. and Ontario, and is expected to ramp revenues substantially in 2020 as it brings its Kelowna, B.C. campus expansions online.”

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The legal cannabis industry, which anticipates massive growth over the next few years, is seeing constant innovation as companies move to provide essential services needed for that growth.

• The global cannabis industry, which was worth $7.7 billion in 2016, is expected to reach $65 billion by 2023.
• The industry’s upward trajectory is happening despite legal restrictions that have forced cannabis businesses to seek alternative payment solutions.
• These solutions are among many innovations in the sector, which has a strong strand of research and design.

Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) (NETE Profile) recently launched a compliant, secure payment processing solution focused on serving the legal cannabis industry. Medical cannabis company Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is supplying materials for a range of research projects around the world that are studying cannabis’ potential in medicine. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has received massive investment from a beverage company and is likely to be one of the first companies selling cannabis-infused drinks. And the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved cannabis-based drug has just gone on sale from GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH). Meanwhile, new uses for the plant are being found, as exemplified by Cronos Group, Inc.’s (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) research on…

A federal court is set to hear a landmark case in Colorado which could have far-reaching implications for the young marijuana industry throughout the US. A couple is suing a cannabis company claiming that the odors from its indoor grow facility have made the couple unable to enjoy their property which is right next to the cannabis cultivation facility.

The plaintiffs are using the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act to claim that their property has lost value due to the “pungent, foul odors”. The law permits courts to award successful plaintiffs thrice the value lost in addition to legal fees.

The RICO Act was drafted and enacted decades ago to combat organized crime syndicates and organizations like the mafia. Under this law, the leaders of those organizations could also be liable when “the small fry” in their organizations were convicted.

The lawyers for the plaintiffs argue that it isn’t fair for their clients to be hurt by an industry which is illegal at the federal level.

The attorneys for the defendant intend to argue that the property in question hasn’t lost any value due to the presence of the marijuana grow. As part of their evidence, the defense will table proof that the property tax valuations of the land owned by Hope and Michael Reilly has been increasing over time. That increase cannot be possible if the value of that property has declined due to the existence of the grow facility in their neighborhood, they say.

The vulnerability to such lawsuits has been giving the legal teams of different cannabis businesses sleepless nights since the contradiction between state and federal law creates a gap which can potentially be exploited to hurt cannabis businesses and the entire industry.

The key concern in this Denver trial is whether the jury will agree with the plaintiffs or deny their claim. The extent to which the jury agrees (if it does agree) with the plaintiffs will also be watched closely.

For example, a decision that the property lost $5,000 dollars in value can have different implications for the cannabis industry when compared to a decision that sees the loss in value in excess of a million dollars.

Remember, the RICO Act stipulates that those who sue can get thrice the value lost in addition to the legal costs incurred during the litigation. Numbers are therefore important in such cases.

The precedent set by the outcome of the Colorado case can also open an avalanche of similar suits, or stem the tide before it makes landfall.

Marijuana industry players are keeping their fingers crossed as they follow the case in Denver. Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) and American Premium Water Corp. (OTC: HIPH) certainly hope that any decision made by the federal court in Colorado doesn’t make it harder for marijuana businesses to operate since conditions are already hard as things stand (no access to banking services, etc.).

Medical cannabis became legal in Illinois in 2015, and Southern Illinois University is now taking steps to start a study and research program about marijuana and hemp.

The university announced that the cannabis and industrial hemp program will be offered at the Carbondale campus of the school. The announcement stated that the program on offer will make it possible for farmers and students to earn a certificate in medical cannabis or hemp.

The interim dean of agricultural sciences, Karen Midden, revealed that the program was the result of requests from current and prospective students as well as farmers in the community.

The cannabis and industrial hemp program will be interdisciplinary and the content studied will be taken from plant biology, chemistry, business, engineering and agriculture. Those who complete the program will be ready to work in these emerging industries.

Hemp is known to provide a very tough natural fiber whose uses are diverse across a variety of industries including the garment industry.

Medical cannabis can be helpful to patients suffering from different conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy and so many others.

The university has already secured permission from the DEA to grow hemp and plans are in advanced stages to start growing the plant on a 5-acre piece of land. Small lots will be grown with each lot geared at answering a key research question about hemp, such as what the possible environmental impacts of the plant may be and what its ideal growing conditions are.

The students who enroll for the program will therefore have a firsthand experience of the different processes associated with growing and processing hemp into different products.

The cannabis industry in the state is also opening up more as time goes by. Initially, medical cannabis was only available to patients who had medical records to prove that they were suffering from one of the dozen or so qualifying conditions listed in the law that legalized medical cannabis.

However, the Governor of the state signed a law in August adding pain to the qualifying conditions for which one can get medicinal marijuana. Governor Bruce Rauner also lifted the existing ban on the cultivation of hemp.

These developments show that the cannabis and hemp sectors are on a forward march, so the new program offered by Southern Illinois University is a timely addition to the efforts of developing skilled people who can serve in these industries.

What is now left is to see how many people will take advantage of this unique opportunity to acquire training in the different aspects connected to hemp and medicinal marijuana. The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and TransCanna certainly know what a huge help a skilled labor force can be when an industry is just emerging.

Hydroponics supply company Sugarmade (OTCQB: SGMD) this morning announced its signing of a binding definitive agreement to acquire Sky Unlimited, LLC, which offers a variety of popular hydroponic brands to several growing agricultural cultivation sectors through its AthenaUnited.com operations and website. Sugarmade expects the acquisition to be highly accretive to common shareholder value and is raising its calendar 2019 revenue guidance from $30 million to $70 million. In accordance with the agreement, Sugarmade will assume all Sky Unlimited operations, brand assets, customers and liabilities, and will retain all employees. Sugarmade will issue Sky Unlimited owners ten million non-refundable shares of its common stock in exchange for a non-shop period agreement, during which it will complete final due diligence. Subject to a successful two-year operations audit, Sugarmade will finalize the transaction with payment to the owners in a combination of cash and common shares equaling Sky Unlimited’s realized revenues during the 12-month period preceding the close, scheduled for January 2019. While the actual amount will be determined based on revenue performance, payments of cash and company shares are projected to total $40 million. A filing with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission over the coming days will outline specific details of the definitive agreement.

“This acquisition will further boost our already very rapid growth rate and is expected to be high accretive to common shareholder value. As a result, we are once again raising our revenue guidance for calendar 2019,” Sugarmade CEO Jimmy Chan stated in the news release. “Sky Unlimited and Athena are complementary to our existing business operations allowing us to not only increase our emphasis on brands, but also to diversify our revenue streams to now include the larger commercial cultivation operations.”

American Premium Water (OTC: HIPH) this morning announced its acquisition of proprietary technology including formulations infused with electrolyte energy, cannabidiol (“CBD”) and tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”). Completed through the issuance of restricted stock, American Premium expects to boost its market share with these proprietary formulations that are based on the company’s hydro-nano technology utilized for its original CBD water beverage. The technology allows for an up to 90 percent higher absorption rate than any other beverage in its class, enabling rapid penetration of infused formulations into the cells through surpassing the bloodstream and creating a more immediate effect. The company intends to utilize the CBD formulation to create more potent beverages with 15-50mg of CBD, complementing its existing CBD beverage line that currently uses 3mg per 16.9oz bottle. The company intends to form a foothold in three categories and create distinct pillars of its LALPINA brand with the new formulations, including energy, CBD and THC. The acquisition also solves a number of logistical challenges the company previously faced in working with third-party manufacturers.

“This acquisition is a gamechanger for us, as we expect it to propel the company to new levels in the CBD infused beverage space, create a new category in the THC infused space, while driving shareholder value, through the sale of premium, uncompromised products, which has always been our primary objective,” HIPH CEO Ryan Fishoff stated in the news release.

Golden Developing Solutions (OTC: DVLP), in conjunction with its subsidiaries, offers a broad range of high-quality, price-competitive products containing cannabidiol (“CBD”) and hemp oil in addition to health & wellness-related products. An article further discussing the company reads, “On October 17, 2018, Canada became the second country in the world to legalize cannabis for recreational use. Uruguay was the first, in 2013. In addition, presently, the District of Columbia and nine U.S. states – Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington – have legalized recreational marijuana. Four more states – North Dakota, Michigan, Missouri and Utah – will give voters a chance, on November 6, 2018, to further legalize cannabis. In North Dakota and Michigan, the ballot measures will determine the legal future of recreational cannabis. In Missouri and Utah, the propositions will be about medical marijuana. Yet, the demand dam is still filled with the millions living in the 19 states that, in the future, may make medical marijuana legal and the 39 others that could legalize cannabis for general adult use, as well. When the dam bursts, DVLP looks set to benefit further.”

The state of Michigan has taken additional steps towards improving access to its medical marijuana program. Patients now have a number of online tools that they can use to register and get certification cards which permit them to access medical marijuana.

The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs in Michigan announced a few days ago that any patient who doesn’t have a caregiver can simply go online and apply for an identification card from the medical marijuana registry.

Such patients can also monitor the status of their online application by logging into a secure account created for them when they launch their application for the identification card.

The state also plans to make it possible for those patients who don’t have a caregiver to use the same online tool when it is time for them to renew their identification card for the medical marijuana program.

Previously, patients were expected to be present (in person) at an authorized office where cards could be applied for or renewed. Experience has shown that the old system was unnecessarily burdensome for particularly those patients who lived alone or whose condition made it hard for them to move from their homes.

It will also be possible for patients change their address information, ask for replacement cards or withdraw from the program. These features are still being added to the online tool.

Doctors have also been given an opportunity to register for a secure online account. The doctors who take up that offer will use that secure account to certify that their patients have been recommended to use medical marijuana. This will reduce the need for patients to get hard copy recommendation letters to use during the registration process for the medical cannabis program.

Michigan residents voted to legalize medical marijuana in 2008. Since then, the state has been tweaking its methods of administering the program so that patients get the care they need in a way that doesn’t risk the confidentiality of those patients or endanger the public.

The online app is the latest addition to the measures intended to deliver efficient services to qualifying patients. A quick scan of the information available at the website of the Licensing and Regulatory Affairs department shows that patients should typically wait for a maximum of five weeks for their online applications to be processed.

One can then call a given number in case they have waited for more than five weeks but haven’t received any feedback from the department.

Marijuana industry players like Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) OTC: PHVAF) and Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) definitely applaud the measures being instituted to remove any inconveniences suffered by patients as they try to access medical marijuana.

Patients, religious leaders, politicians and representatives from some medical cannabis advocacy groups in Utah recently came together to announce that a compromise had been reached to draft a law which would legalize medical cannabis whether the ballot measure (Proposition 2) succeeded during the midterm elections or not.

This compromise deal seems to have been arrived at after Prop 2 polarized the conservative community and threatened to alienate major sections of the community, such as the Mormon Church.

The compromise deal seeks to allow only six “medical cannabis pharmacies”  to operate out of which one would be run by the state while the other five would be privately operated. Prop 2 suggested that there would be a medical cannabis dispensary for every 150,000 residents of the state. This would result in more dispensaries than the compromise deal is allowing.

Secondly, the compromise deal wants to prevent people from growing their own cannabis. Prop 2 had indicated that patients could grow their own cannabis and use it in case they couldn’t access medical cannabis at legal dispensaries.

The compromise deal seems to have attained some degree of success in bringing different parties to a middle point on cannabis. For example, the governor of the state expressed his support for the compromise although he was vehemently opposed to Proposition 2.

However, that compromise deal still has critics from both sides of the cannabis divide. For example, opponents of legalization feel the compromise doesn’t go far enough to quell concerns about the possible dangers that may result when medical use cannabis is legalized.

Similarly, advocates of legalization feel that the compromise deal bears the signature of the Latter Day Saints (LDS) church which seems to have approved the legalization but ensured that there are so many restrictions that access will be limited heavily.

Critics of the church say it played the same tactics over LGBTQ issues when it appeared to consent that they deserved to be treated equally, but at the same time created a loophole which allowed members of the church to refuse to preside over LGBTQ marriages due to religious conflict issues. In other words, the Mormon Church said it recognized the LGBTQ members of the community but it would not wed them. What kind of recognition is that?

The compromise deal will be sent to the elected representatives of the people for debate and modification before it is passed into law. In the meantime, both sides are still campaigning heavily either for or against Prop 2. That ballot measure carries huge implications since the outcome of the poll would influence the final provisions of the law enacted to legalize medical cannabis.

Cannabis industry participants like Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) and NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) can only pray that any decision made puts patients first instead of addressing the interests of different groups that may contradict the interests of the intended beneficiaries of the medical cannabis law.

Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTC: NUGS) recently appointed a new board member with expertise in finance as the company prepares to uplist to a national exchange. A recent article discussing the company’s strategic move reads, “The appointment of Alan Tran to the board of directors of Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) augurs well for the company’s fortunes, because it is an action that’s likely to be replicated across the cannabis industry. A report in Forbes (http://cnw.fm/70IvM) titled ‘Marijuana is the Fastest-Growing Job Category, Top Recruiting CEO Says’ shows that those forces are already in play. Now that 31 states and Washington, DC have legalized medical marijuana and 10 of those jurisdictions have done the same with recreational cannabis, “there’s 445 percent growth in job listings… year over year.”  Cannabis Strategic Ventures aims to capitalize on that trend. Earlier this year, the company completed a definitive agreement to acquire Worldwide Staffing Group, Inc., which, in 2017, booked approximately $1.5 million in revenues. Its hire of Tran is the first in a series of steps to be taken as it prepares to uplist its common shares to a national exchange.”

Biotechnology company Earth Science Tech (OTCQB: ETST) is set to gain from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s (“DEA”) recent decision to remove certain CBD products from its Schedule 1 list of controlled substances, making it easier to plan CBD clinical studies (http://cnw.fm/03dUM). A recent article discussing the company’s stance on the decision reads, “The DEA decided to remove some CBD products from its Schedule 1 list of controlled substances. It voted to reclassify FDA-approved drugs that contain cannabis-derived CBD and contain less than 0.1% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) as Schedule V, the lowest restriction classification. … ETST sees this ruling as an opportunity. In a news release, Dr. Michel Aubé, CEO and chief science officer of ETST, said, ‘In 2018, we have a much deeper understanding of cannabinoids, cannabinoid-receptors, and the endocannabinoid system than we did decades ago when CBD was classified as a schedule 1 drug. We are pleased to see that the DEA has shifted its stance amid conclusive evidence that CBD is not addictive but has both anti-psychotic properties and the opposite effect of THC.’”

The state of New York is hammering out the details of the law which will legalize recreational cannabis in the jurisdiction. One of the issues that has come up for consideration is how that cannabis will be distributed and sold once legalization takes place.

Liquor stores have come together and proposed that they should be allowed to sell recreational marijuana throughout the state. This group advances several arguments in support of their proposal.

First, they say that liquor stores exist throughout the state. Consequently, fewer resources will be wasted in setting up a new distribution and retail network for recreational cannabis. The public can therefore access the product sooner after legalization.

Secondly, liquor stores are heavily regulated by the state. The regulatory and enforcement arms of the state government will therefore not be stretched once recreational cannabis is added to the products that can be sold in liquor stores.

Thirdly, the group argues that letting liquor stores sell marijuana would help to protect the jobs and revenues accruing from the sale of alcohol. Other states where recreational marijuana is legal have registered a drop in alcohol sales. Consequently, some employees have been let go and a number of liquor stores have also closed.

Allowing the liquor stores to sell recreational cannabis would therefore protect the existing jobs in this sector of the state economy while also bringing in the expected taxes and other revenues from the cannabis industry.

The group of liquor store operators has set up a website to gather support for their suggestion. The public is being urged to access pre-written letters which can be sent to the different legislators who will make the final decision about how recreational marijuana will be sourced, distributed, and sold to the public.

The letters show that the plan by the liquor stores provides a win-win scenario for all concerned. The public benefits by having easy access to facilities that have been in existence in their neighborhoods. Law enforcement wins by simply expanding their effort instead of overseeing an entirely new bureaucracy. The state further benefits by saving the tax dollars which would have gone to setting up and overseeing a new network of cannabis retailers.

Governor Cuomo started the ball rolling on recreational cannabis legalization when he asked the Department of Health to analyze whether or not legalization should be done. The resultant report showed that the drawbacks of legalizing recreational cannabis were fewer than the benefits which the state would register.

The law being drafted also seeks to compel public health insurance plans to cover medical cannabis so that people don’t have to pay out of pocket for such needed treatments. Such progressive policies are exactly what companies like Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) and Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) would like to see throughout the country.

A trio of scientific studies has provided further proof that legalizing marijuana can reduce the opioid crisis facing America. At first glance, it may appear that legalizing marijuana will increase opioid overdoses. However, the studies conducted gathered data that proves otherwise.

1. Arthritis Sufferers Who Underwent Reconstructive Surgery Used Fewer Opioids if Cannabis Was Accessible

A new study whose findings appeared in the Journal of Orthopedic Proceedings analyzed the toxicological tests of more than 520 patients. The tests in question were conducted between 2012 and 2017.

The researchers found that patients who used cannabis before undergoing reconstructive surgery to repair joints affected by arthritis increased from just 9 percent to 15 percent during the period being studied. At the same time, the prevalence of opioid use dropped to 17 percent from 24 percent.

There appears to be a correlation between the increase in access to marijuana and a reduction in the use of opioids.

2. States with Legal Marijuana Have Fewer Opioid Prescriptions

Another group of researchers gathered data on more than 1.3 billion prescriptions of opioids. Those prescriptions were spread over several years from 2011 to 2018. The researchers analyzed that data in order to establish whether there was a connected between marijuana laws and the rate at which opioids are prescribed.

The investigators found that in states where marijuana was fully legal (for recreational and medical purposes) prescriptions for opioids, especially morphine, reduced by 6.9 percent every year.

The study found that in the states where only medical marijuana was legal, morphine prescriptions reduced by 6.1 percent each year.

The researchers concluded that access to cannabis caused the rate at which morphine is prescribed to reduce by a percentage which is statistically significant.

3. Opioid Abuse Decreased as Cannabis Use Went Up

The federally funded National Survey on Drug Use and Health conducted in 2017 compared the level of opioid misuse among Americans in 2016 and 2017. The researchers found that about 11.4 million Americans abused opioids in 2017 yet the number was higher (11.8 million) the year before.

The same survey found that the number of Americans who used marijuana in 2016 was 24 million while those who used cannabis the next year increased to 26 million. This increase in cannabis use could possibly explain why opioid abuse reduced in the years under scrutiny.

As you can see, studies conducted by private entities and those funded by states or the federal government all seem to point to the strong possibility of marijuana having the key to the opioid epidemic the country is facing. Such findings are good news to industry players like Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP).

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Following a tumultuous month, cannabis continues to carve its own path rather than following the lead of other stocks.

• As the stock market plummeted earlier this month, cannabis companies stayed strong, buoyed up by legislative changes in Canada.
• The cannabis market appears set for continuing growth as it expands into expected sales worth billions of dollars across North America.
• While it still faces regulatory challenges in some locations, this market sector is preparing for corporate big players to move in.

Companies with varied interests are moving into the cannabis sector, such as lifestyle business Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) (YGYI Profile). While the stocks of some cannabis players such as Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) appear overvalued, this reflects problems with valuation tools more than the stocks themselves. The sector has developed its own heavy hitters, such as Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED), whose millions of square feet of growing space are now leading to sales into the United States as well as Canada. Some companies are focused only on medical products, such as GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) with its cannabis-based prescription medicines. But it’s the recreational side of the cannabis space that has drawn in Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: STZ), a huge beverage maker that has invested…

It has been repeated time and again how polarized Americans are in recent times, but there is one thing upon there seems to be agreement among the young and old, Democrats and Republicans, that is, the issue of cannabis legalization.

A Gallup poll that was conducted recently reveals that two out of every three voters you count thinks that marijuana prohibition should come to an end.

The most significant groups to have registered a rise in support for decriminalization are the older Americans and Republicans. These groups were the least likely to favor legalization in past polls.

Support for legalization has reached record high this year ever since Gallup started conducting these polls in 1969. In that maiden year of polling, Gallup found that just 12 percent of the adults who participated in the poll expressed support for marijuana legalization. This year’s 66 percent support for legalization marks a huge shift in public perception about this plant which has for long been shrouded in controversy and polarization.

The poll also found that five out of ten Republicans say marijuana should be legalized. This view is in sharp contrast to the opinion of the top brass of the party, with the Attorney General vehemently opposed to any degree of cannabis legalization and the party didn’t even mention marijuana during its campaigns in 2016.

Democrats showed the highest support for legalization as nearly eight out of ten voters expressed a desire to see marijuana prohibition end. Similar support was found among independents as seven out of ten were in favor of the legalization of marijuana.

Support for marijuana legalization is massive among younger Americans (those who are 34 years or younger). Eight out of ten in this age group support decriminalization.

The variations by region are also melting away on the matter of cannabis decriminalization. Previously, the East had significantly lower support for marijuana legalization when compared to the West. The recent poll showed that the support now varies by just a single percentage point, with all regions hovering at about 66 percent in support.

This clear support recorded by pollsters is given credence when one considers the different states where cannabis legalization has been presented to voters. Ballot measures have succeeded in all states where the matter was up for a vote. This is a clear signal that legislators at both state and federal level should revise their position and make decisions that are in line with the wishes of the majority in the nation.

One can only imagine that cannabis industry players like Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP) must be pleased that the public is rallying behind this plant that has so much to offer.

A randomized, double-blind study in Brazil has found that individuals who suffer from public speaking anxiety can be helped by consuming cannabidiol (CBD). The findings of this study were released in the Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry.

Some 57 participants were recruited to take part in this study. These participants were divided into four groups with each group being given a placebo, 150mg, 300mg or 600mg of cannabidiol (CBD).

The researchers asked the participants to watch a short video and then prepare a four-minute speech based on the material in that video.

Those participants were then asked to self-assess on the anxiety levels before, during and after making that speech. The known bio-markers that are affected by public speaking anxiety, such as blood pressure, heart rate and sweating were monitored during those different stages of the presentation.

Previous studies on this same issue had suggested that CBD can mitigate public speaking anxiety depending on the dose given to the individual. The Brazilian research had similar findings.

The results revealed an inverted U when the impact of CBD on anxiety was assessed. The inverted U means that little effect was registered at lower CBD doses and the impact kept increasing until a certain point when higher doses of CBD showed a reducing effect on the “stage fright” experienced by the participants before, during and after the speech.

Specifically speaking, the group which received 150mg of CBD didn’t have any different anxiety markers from the placebo group. Similarly, those who got the higher dose of 600mg of CBD also barely differed from the placebo group.

These results show that additional studies need to be carried out to ascertain the specific “sweet spot” that provides the best effects to those who find it hard to stand before a group and express themselves coherently.

These research findings provide additional avenues through which marijuana can be harnessed to address the different challenges that people face in their day to day lives. Such research also calls for an urgent review of the scheduling of marijuana in many jurisdictions, including at the federal level in the U.S. where the plant is considered as something which doesn’t have any medical value. This categorization makes it hard for researchers to access funding to study this plant, and humanity has lost out on endless benefits during this prohibitionist period.

All isn’t lost, however, as the public is taking matters into its own hands and compelling different states to legalize marijuana through ballot measures. Cannabis companies like Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTC: GRYN) and GreenBox POS, LLC (OTC: GRBX) can only wait for that time when prohibition will be ended once and for all at the federal level.
