The police department in Ottawa, Canada, has rejected the roadside test kits which the federal government approved for catching drivers who are impaired by the consumption of marijuana.

DrugTest 5000, already in use in several states across the U.S., was introduced in Canada ahead of the October 17 date when recreational cannabis will be available across the country. The Ottawa P.D. cites a number of reasons for its stance.

First, the police say that the DrugTest 5000 kits are very expensive. Each unit reportedly costs $6,000. The regulations in place require the police to conduct a cannabis test as soon as a driver is suspected of being impaired. This means that every police patrol vehicle would have to be equipped with the test kit, an undertaking that would take a lot of money.

Secondly, the sample of saliva taken must be kept at a certain temperature in order to give reliable results once tested for THC. This is too much of a hassle for the police department to deal with on a daily basis.

More opposition to the test kits is resulting from the information filtering in from across the border in the U.S. Apparently, the devices have been successfully challenged in the courts of law for being unreliable, since so much is left to the subjective assessment of the officer selecting drivers to screen.

Some people have even said the cannabis test process is as effective as “tossing a coin” to determine whether someone was impaired due to the presence of marijuana in their blood.

Another fundamental question that needs to be answered is how much THC (tetrahydrocannabinoid) is sufficient to cause impairment. Experts seem to agree that it isn’t as clear cut as is the case with the blood alcohol level detected during a Breathalyzer test.

In light of the above, it seems that the Ottawa Police Department is onto something by rejecting these roadside test kits, which currently appear to be expensive gadgets whose results may not stand up to legal scrutiny.

The decision to train more drug recognition experts may be a smarter move by the Ottawa Police Department, since it provides a better way to identify and possibly prosecute those who will drive under the influence of marijuana. One is left wondering what the thoughts of companies like Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTC: CHOOF) and Hiku Brands Co. Ltd (CSE: HIKU) (OTC: DJACF) may be on this matter.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Sugarmade, Inc. (SGMD) Strategic Investment Offers Great Opportunity in the Cannabis Sector

September 20, 2018 11:28:46

Hydroponic supply company Sugarmade (OTC: SGMD) earlier this month reported that it will be investing an estimated $1 million in capital in Hempistry, Inc. A recent article further discussing the company’s investment reads: “One of the primary reasons that the Hempistry project is such an attractive entry point for Sugarmade is the hemp grown by the company, which contains high levels of CBD while containing low levels (less than 0.3 percent) of THC. Both are natural compounds found in cannabis, but they create vastly different effects when consumed. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound that doesn’t produce the problematic ‘high’ associated with THC. …The Sugarmade/Hempistry deal doesn’t end there. Sugarmade CEO Jimmy Chan will become an advisor to and shareholder in Hempistry, and Sugarmade has announced plans to sign an agreement with Hempistry for hemp cultivation supplies, as well.”

420 with CNW – Washington D.C. Sees Spike of Synthetic Marijuana Overdoses

September 20, 2018 03:20:37

It seems the synthetic marijuana overdoses that had the authorities in Washington, D.C worried in July have resurfaced after a lull. In one 24-hour period alone, first responders were called to assist dozens of people who exhibited severe signs of distress from K2 or Spice, a known synthetic form of cannabis.

Even more distressing is the fact that students witnessed some of the victims being helped on the street as the students were strolling about during their break. This was near Mundo Verde Bilingual Public School. The authorities responded by imposing restrictions on how far students could go during their break.

Some of the symptoms exhibited by the people overdosing on K2 are particularly worrying. The known chemicals from which K2 are made don’t usually cause users to bleed in the way that some of the D.C. victims have been seen to bleed.

One possible explanation for that bleeding may have been found after toxicological tests revealed that the synthetic marijuana was laced with the chemical brodifacoum. This is a substance that is used to make rat poison and other pesticides.

The chemical stops vitamin K from doing its work in the blood of the organisms that ingest it. Consequently, vital processes, such as blood clotting, will be affected, and bleeding will result.

The consumers, especially low-income people, don’t seem to be bothered by the risk of K2 and other synthetic forms of marijuana. To them, all that seems matters is that they get a high at an affordable cost.

Authorities say that they have been compelled to play cat and mouse games with the people who make or distribute these synthetic forms of marijuana. This is because the chemicals used are often permitted chemicals, except that the formulas used aren’t approved. Banning one chemical found to be harmful only spurs the makers of the product to switch to another unknown product.

Furthermore, distributors often escape regulatory scrutiny by labeling the synthetic marijuana as “not for human consumption”. The CDC, DEA and other agencies are therefore often chasing a ghost that is hard to pin down.

However, the authorities are now determined to hunt down and stamp out these dangerous products whose overdoses have reached crisis level and are spreading to various parts of the country.

The big question on many people’s minds is that if this is happening in Washington, D.C., where marijuana is legal, can something be done to make the legal product more affordable for those with limited means? You can bet your last dollar that Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) and NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) are praying that these products be wiped out so that the industry doesn’t get a bad reputation at this early stage.

420 with CNW – Cannabis and Crypto

September 19, 2018 15:20:16

Cannabis firms have fought regulations and misconceptions for quite a long time as they have made attempts to inform the public on the medical benefits of the plant. In the recent couple of years, cannabis companies have started recording a surge in interest, as evidenced by their monthly record sales. Investors in Wall Street project that the industry will attain a valuation of $75 billion by the end of 2030.

Almost coincidentally, cryptos have also been enjoying a surge in popularity, with values of top cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and Ethereum hitting record levels. Toward the end of 2017, the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency industry hit $600 billion.

Apart from the growth prospects of the two industries, both experience legal uncertainty, high-risk environments and tighter government regulations. This makes cannabis and cryptos perfect partners.

How Blockchain is Facilitating Cannabis Trade

The blockchain technology that is the backbone of crypto transactions can help the cannabis industry to secure its exchange transactions. The cannabis trade has been criticized for channeling funds into the black market. With the blockchain, these worries can be put to rest and loopholes for fraud and funds leakages into the underworld sealed.

When this happens, both the crypto and cannabis industries can legitimize their activities in today’s dynamic modern economy. For instance, in the United States, only Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Colorado, Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts have legalized marijuana for both recreation and medical use. The rest of the states have legalized the drug only for medical use.

Using cryptocurrency to facilitate transactions in the cannabis market is hugely important. This is because it widens the playing field and promotes inclusion to other groups all around the globe that previously were secluded from the trade. Since cannabis is still a Schedule I drug together with methamphetamine and heroin, players in this industry are barred from using bank accounts.

Any attempts by the banking system to facilitate cannabis payments could lead to dire legal consequences, including charges for money laundering. The exclusion of the banking system also renders the use of credit and debit cards impossible. Operations for cannabis businesses in the U.S. are cash-based.

Legitimizing the Cannabis Industry through Crypto

Cryptocurrency companies have come up to support trading activities and other development initiatives within the cannabis industry. One of the companies offering blockchain technology solutions customized for the cannabis industry is Pacific Software Inc. (OTC: PFSF). The company seeks to improve the compliance, transparency and efficiency of cannabis supply in states where it has been legalized.

Cannabis companies and traders who want to use the company’s Hyperledger blockchain applications are required to pay transaction fees, cash, loyalties and other forms of payment depending on the nature of the transactions.

GreenBox POS, LLC (OTC: GRBX) has also built customized payment solutions for different industries, including cannabis. The point of sale system is fully integrated, easy to use and intuitive.

By connecting buyers and sellers, crypto firms are creating a legitimate, centralized online meeting place where cannabis enthusiasts can share information and engage with one another. Usually, participants are rewarded with crypto coins that can be exchanged for goods and services or converted to fiat currency.

Any effort to boost accountability and transparency in the logistics and supply chain of cannabis is therefore welcome. The adoption of blockchain technology is yielding positive effects by fighting the social stigma around the sale and use of marijuana. As this positive ecosystem expands, buyers and sellers will feel safe, just like any other participants in a market platform.

CannabisNewsAudio – Earth Science Tech, Inc. (ETST) at the Vanguard of the Cannabinoid Therapeutics Surge

September 18, 2018

September 18, 2018 14:18:22

Related Editorial
Leveraging ever-expanding scientific evidence of the therapeutic efficacy of CBD (cannabidiol), specialty biotechnology companies are creating novel new formulations of the chemical compound to capitalize on the titanic growth expected in the cannabis-derived pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets.

Global medical marijuana market expected to exceed $55 billion by 2025
Global nutraceuticals market projected to surpass $319 billion by 2023
CBD pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies poised to reap huge rewards
Diverse CBD product lines provide competitive advantages

Cannabinoids have been used for medicinal purposes for millennia, but it wasn’t until the discovery of the human endocannabinoid system in the 1990s that scientists began to comprehend their importance in healing and homeostasis. The identification of human cannabinoid receptors opened the floodgates to new cannabis-based medications. Increased understanding of the endocannabinoid system sparked further scientific research and led to the realization that cannabinoids impact a much wider range of physiological functions than previously realized. Specialty biotechnology companies soon blossomed and now these companies research and develop wide-ranging novel new drug candidates to improve and extend patients’ lives, creating unique medicines to treat multiple maladies and answer unmet medical needs. These pioneering biotech companies are committed to developing cannabis-based pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals delivered with unparalleled safety and new-found efficacy. At the vanguard of this surge in cannabinoid therapeutics, Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC: ETST) (ETST Profile)has taken another major step in its mission to become a global leader in the research, development and sale of hemp-derived, CBD–based pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and dietary supplements. The company’s recent decision to uplist on the OTCQB exchange will likely increase visibility and liquidity, and its comprehensive strategy of scientific development combined with robust retail creates a unique opportunity in the burgeoning medical cannabis markets. Other companies vying for position in these lucrative markets include CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI), Axim Biotechnologies, Inc. (OTC: AXIM), GB Sciences, Inc. (OTC: GBLX) and Vitality Biopharma (OTC: VBIO).

420 with CNW – Canadian Cannabis Investors at Risk of US Entry Bans

September 18, 2018

September 18, 2018 03:20:50

In a disturbing development, Canadians who have invested in the cannabis industry now face the risk of being banned permanently from entering the United States. This reality came to light when a prominent Canadian venture capitalist, Sam Znaimer, was told he was permanently barred from entering the U.S. due to his equity holdings in American cannabis companies whose shares are publicly traded on Canadian stock exchanges, such as the Toronto Stock Exchange.

He was shocked by the decision, since no single question had been posed regarding whether or not he consumed cannabis.

His shock is understandable given the fact that many people have shares in investment vehicles, such as mutual funds, and those investors have no clue where that money is channeled in order to earn the investor a return on his or her investment.

The example above is just one of a growing number of similar bans handed out by the Customs and Border Protection department of the U.S.

For now, it seems only those who have invested in American cannabis companies are being targeted. However, CBP (Customs and Border Protection) officials have revealed that even those who consume marijuana could be affected, especially when the smell is detected while pre-entry checks are being done at border crossings.

The view of the U.S authorities is that cannabis is a controlled substance, so anyone associated with it contravenes U.S. law and may be denied entry. However, no blanket action is foreseen, and border officials will exercise their discretion in enforcing the eligibility requirements for any alien trying to enter the U.S.

People who have been banned from entering the U.S. due to their connections to the cannabis industry will unfortunately have no recourse regarding the ban. However, the affected persons can apply for a temporary waiver so that they can be allowed into the U.S.

The process of obtaining the waiver is likely to be drawn out and very expensive, since there will be legal fees and application fees. There is no guarantee that whoever applies for the waiver will get it.

The risk of being barred from entering the U.S. is likely to put a damper on people who were considering investing in cannabis stocks. This fear is certainly real for Americans, since cannabis is illegal at the federal level. By law, Americans can’t be denied entry as they return from abroad, but that is little comfort since other actions could possibly be taken against them now or in the future.

It remains to be seen how cannabis players, such as Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (MCOA) and Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (REFG), will be affected in the medium- and long-term by the tough stance taken by the U.S Customs and Border Protection agency.

420 with CNW – Study Finds Marijuana Use Among Older Americans Has Doubled

September 17, 2018 15:20:06

A study published recently in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence has revealed that the use of cannabis among older Americans has increased remarkably from the level where it was a decade earlier.

The rise was 100 percent among baby boomers (those aged 50 to 64-years), since cannabis use prevalence rose from 4.5 percent a decade ago to 9 percent, according to data collected from 2015 to 2016.

Older adults (those aged 65 and above) increased their use of cannabis exponentially from 0.4 percent in 2005/2006 to nearly 3 percent 10 years later.

It is also noteworthy that more than half of surveyed baby boomers confessed during the study that they had used marijuana at least once by the age of 21. In contrast, less than a quarter of the older adults (65 and older) admitted to have used cannabis at age 21 or younger.

It is also important to note that a significant proportion of the seniors revealed that they used cannabis upon the recommendation of a doctor. The legalization of medical cannabis may therefore provide one of the possible reasons why older Americans are increasingly using pot.

Another possible reason why cannabis use could have increased among the age groups covered in the study is that society has evolved in the way it regards cannabis. There is a growing level of acceptance of marijuana, and this may explain why those who use it are willing to admit it during surveys.

However, a few professionals are expressing some concerns about the rising use of cannabis by older Americans. First, the strains of the plant currently available may be very potent when compared to what the baby boomers and those older consumed decades ago. Accidental overuse may therefore result from exposure to these stronger strains.

Secondly, many older citizens have chronic health challenges, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. There are fears that cannabis consumption may interact adversely with the medications that seniors are taking for those ailments.

The advanced age of these older citizens may also mean that their bodies are less capable of handling the effects of cannabis, since most body systems may no longer be functioning as robustly as they once did during the younger days of those consuming marijuana.

This study highlights the need for further research on how cannabis use is affecting older Americans. Not much (cannabis-wise) is known about these age groups, yet a lot of information is available on the use of cannabis among teenagers. It would be interesting to hear what the participants in the legal cannabis industry, such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (NUGS) and The Flowr Corporation have to say about the implications of this study.

CannabisNewsAudio – Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) Likely to Benefit as Farm Bill Deadline Approaches

September 14, 2018 12:28:18

Related Editorial
After years of wrangling, the U.S. Congress stands on the verge of legalizing the cultivation of industrial hemp.

Hemp is a variety of the cannabis sativa plant that doesn’t generate a psychoactive effect.
Traditionally used to produce cloth and rope, hemp can also now be used in wellness products and food.
Competing legislations by the House and Senate are being aligned with an anticipated September 30 deadline.
The legalization of hemp has cross-party support and appears likely to pass.

The expected change in U.S. law will be beneficial for companies such as Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile), which is already invested in industrial hemp and support for hemp growers. Across the border, Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC) has established acres of Canadian hemp cultivation and gained financial backing that would support huge growth. Aurora Cannabis, Inc. (OTCQX: ACBFF) has also received substantial funding in the past few months, which will help its ongoing expansion effort. Hemp cultivation will provide plentiful CBD to be used by companies such as CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI) as an ingredient in a wide and growing range of health and wellness products. All this growth is aided by support companies such as Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC), which provides equipment for cannabis cultivators.

420 with CNW – The Marijuana Bill Undergoes Congressional Vote

September 13, 2018 15:20:13

Today, the Judiciary Committee of congress is voting on the Medical Cannabis Research Act. The proposed legislation is sponsored by a Republican, Mathew Gaetz, and 40 more cosponsors from both sides of the house. The Medical Cannabis Research Act is primarily intended to remove the legal barriers to the licensing of other producers of marijuana for research purposes. Other related issues are also included in this landmark legislation.

Players in cannabis medical research have previously complained that the single grower (University of Mississippi) of the plant is often unable to supply cannabis of an acceptable quality and volume for the different facilities involved in studying how this plant can be used to treat different health challenges. This frustrates the researchers and slows down their work.

The fact that the act is up for a vote in a congressional committee is itself a victory since the Republican Party has traditionally been opposed to any form of cannabis legalization. The timing of the bill is also favorable given that President Trump has voiced his support for cannabis law reforms.

However, a cloud still hangs over how the vote will go since several objections still exist to some of the provisions within the proposed law. For example, the requirement that manufacturers should get the approval (i.e. letter of good standing) of the law enforcement agencies in their areas of operation has taken some flak since enforcement agencies have been vocal about their objection to cannabis reforms.

Concern has also been raised about the provision which seeks to bar anyone with a drugs conviction from participating in the permitted aspects of the cannabis industry. This, reform advocates are convinced, is geared at excluding large sections of the African American and other minorities who have borne the brunt of drugs enforcement efforts.

Nevertheless, some sections of cannabis stakeholders view the legislation with positive lenses. Matt Gaetz, for example, sees this law as the first step in the right direction, its imperfections notwithstanding. With different states passing their own cannabis legislation, it is only a matter of time before broader reforms are instituted at the federal level. The Gaetz bill is therefore seen as one of the key steps to dismantling the prohibition wall around cannabis.

Observers don’t expect major changes to be made to this bill since it was carefully drafted to include concessions that address the interests of those on both sides of the debate. The question on everyone’s mind is how that bill will pass at the committee level and the impact of the discussions in the committee on how the entire house will receive that bill. Industry players like BLOCKStrain Technology Corp. (TSX.V: DNAX) (OTC: BKKSF) and Cannabis Strategic Ventures Inc. (OTC: NUGS) are keeping a keen eye on this matter since their businesses could greatly benefit from a favorable congressional vote.

CannabisNewsAudio – Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) Exploits Growing Popularity of Cannabidiol

September 13, 2018 13:18:53

Related Editorial
Cannabis companies are seeing substantial growth, with the popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) playing a significant part in their positive outlook.

CBD is an active ingredient in cannabis.
It can provide health benefits without the psychotropic effects of other cannabis chemicals.
This has led to a growth in companies selling CBD treatments, sometimes alongside more conventional wellness products.

Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) (YGYI Profile) is one of these companies, having recently expanded its range of products to include CBD therapies for muscle pain, sleeplessness and mood improvement. GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) has created a CBD treatment for child-onset epilepsy and received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its sale as a medicinal product. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) has also developed a cannabis-derived epilepsy treatment, even as it makes deals to expand its distribution network in Canada. Aphria, Inc. (OTC: APHQF) (TSX: APH) has seen a steady rise in profits based on its cannabis work and is now working with branding specialists to capitalize on its opportunities. Isodiol International, Inc. (OTC: ISOLF) (CSE: ISOL) is providing not only a range of CBD products but also a platform for patients to connect with doctors to help manage cannabis-based medical treatment.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Marijuana Stocks Surge as Conventional Companies Invest in the Industry through Partnerships

September 13, 2018 09:39:14

The Flowr Corp., a vertically-integrated Canadian licensed producer that focuses primarily on premium flower production, was recently highlighted in an article discussing the current surge of marijuana stocks on Fool.com titled, “The Only Marijuana Stock That Fell in August” authored by Sean Williams. The article attributed the rise in marijuana stocks to the approaching legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada. The second catalyst, per the article, is the growth in mainstream businesses striking up deals with major cannabis industry players. Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ), for instance, announced a $3.8 billion equity stake in Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) recently. Another example of a mainstream consumer company investing in the growing sector is demonstrated by Scotts Miracle-Gro Company’s (NYSE: SMG) subsidiary, Hawthorne Gardening Co., partnering up with the Flowr Corp. to build a 50,000-square-foot research facility on the same site as Flowr’s grow-op in Kelowna, British Columbia. Although the purpose of this endeavor is to study Hawthorne’s lighting, nutrient, and soil solutions concerning genetics and yield of cannabis crops, there’s no telling where a partnership of this nature could lead to.

CannabisNewsBreaks – FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) Posts Letter to Shareholders

September 13, 2018 09:38:17

FinCanna Capital (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF), a royalty company for the U.S. licensed medical cannabis industry, this morning issued a letter to its shareholders which includes a summary of the year so far and details of the company’s plans for the remainder of 2018. “As you may expect we have a bullish outlook on the industry. We’ve seen very high valuations in publicly listed Canadian cannabis companies and believe the U.S. market is in its infancy with the big gains still to come,” FinCanna Capital president and CEO Andriyko Herchak stated in the news release. “Our share price performance to date has been disappointing and in our view does not reflect the tremendous value being created in our royalty portfolio. We currently have three investments that we believe will begin producing a rewarding royalty income stream for FinCanna beginning in 2019. As this multi-stream income flow comes on line, we anticipate it will generate positive cashflows that will continue to grow as our investees grow. This positive cash flow would also support the expansion of our royalty portfolio. The blueprint has been established and we believe we are well positioned for price appreciation as our investee companies continue to mature.”

The CBD Bonanza on the Horizon

Receive Text Alerts from CannabisNewsWire: Text “Cannabis” to 21000

September 13, 2018 08:00:12

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Leveraging ever-expanding scientific evidence of the therapeutic efficacy of CBD (cannabidiol), specialty biotechnology companies are creating novel new formulations of the chemical compound to capitalize on the titanic growth expected in the cannabis-derived pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets.

Global medical marijuana market expected to exceed $55 billion by 2025
Global nutraceuticals market projected to surpass $319 billion by 2023
CBD pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies poised to reap huge rewards
Diverse CBD product lines provide competitive advantages

Cannabinoids have been used for medicinal purposes for millennia, but it wasn’t until the discovery of the human endocannabinoid system in the 1990s that scientists began to comprehend their importance in healing and homeostasis. The identification of human cannabinoid receptors opened the floodgates to new cannabis-based medications. Increased understanding of the endocannabinoid system sparked further scientific research and led to the realization that cannabinoids impact a much wider range of physiological functions than previously realized. Specialty biotechnology companies soon blossomed and now these companies research and develop wide-ranging novel new drug candidates to improve and extend patients’ lives, creating unique medicines to treat multiple maladies and answer unmet medical needs. These pioneering biotech companies are committed to developing cannabis-based pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals delivered with unparalleled safety and new-found efficacy. At the vanguard of this surge in cannabinoid therapeutics, Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC: ETST) (ETST Profile) has taken another major step in its mission to become a global leader in the research, development and sale of hemp-derived, CBD–based pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and dietary supplements. The company’s recent decision to uplist on the OTCQB exchange will likely increase visibility and liquidity, and its comprehensive strategy of scientific development combined with robust retail creates a unique opportunity in…

September 12, 2018 11:06:43

Hydroponic supply company Sugarmade (OTC: SGMD) is a product and brand marketing company investing in products and brands with disruptive potential. A recent article further discussing the company reads: “Sugarmade recently launched a new corporate initiative in the booming industrial hemp and CBD, committing up to $1 million in capital over the next 12 months to invest in Hempistry, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation. Hempistry has begun planting an ultra-high cannabidiol (CBD) industrial hemp strain on a land option it holds on 23,000 acres of prime Kentucky farmland. The strain of industrial hemp being grown by Hempistry is ultra-rich in CBD but contains less than 0.3 percent of THC, the psychoactive ingredient found in cannabis. The U.S. hemp industry is expected to produce well over $1 billion in revenues in 2018, with a compound annual growth rate of 14 percent through 2022, according to the Hemp Business Journal.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – The Flowr Corp.’s Experienced Executive Team Attracts Attention Prior to RTO

The Flowr Corp., a vertically-integrated Canadian licensed producer that focuses primarily on premium flower production, was recently highlighted in an article discussing noteworthy players in the cannabis industry on Benzinga.com titled, “Pot Stocks, ETFs, Top News And Data From The Cannabis Industry This Week” authored by Javier Hasse. Among other highlights, the article mentioned Flowr’s recently closed offering of subscription receipts, which raised approximately C$36 million ahead of the company’s planned reverse takeover (“RTO”) anticipated to take place early to mid-September. “On the private side, MedReleaf founders have moved on to build the Flowr Corp. and maybe they can repeat the same success they had with MedReleaf. I expect this RTO will be very popular due to the pedigree of these executives,” Green Market Report CEO Debra Borchardt stated in the article.

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: After years of wrangling, the U.S. Congress stands on the verge of legalizing the cultivation of industrial hemp.

Hemp is a variety of the cannabis sativa plant that doesn’t generate a psychoactive effect.

Competing legislations by the House and Senate are being aligned with an anticipated September 30 deadline.
The legalization of hemp has cross-party support and appears likely to pass.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Analysts Weigh in on Pure-play Marijuana Stocks

September 11, 2018

September 11, 2018 12:57:51

Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY), Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) and Cronos Group (NASDAQ: CRON) were recently noted as three pure-play marijuana stocks currently listed on U.S. stock exchanges in an article on Fool.com titled, “The Marijuana Stock That Wall Street Likes the Most” authored by Keith Speights. Per the article, Tilray has been ranked as a “strong buy” by analysts at Cowen & Company, Northland Capital, and Roth Capital. Zacks Investment Research referenced Cowen & Company and GMP Securities in its list of analysts covering Canopy Growth, which received “buy” or “strong buy” ratings as well. Cronos Group, however, was covered only by two Canadian investment firms. At the end of the day, Wall Street analysts seem to be the most bullish on the company that has delivered the best stock performance, which is Tilray. The article noted that Tilray may be enticing investors’ because of its potential to land the next major deal, perhaps with Diageo (NYSE: DEO), a multinational alcoholic beverages company that is reportedly seeking a cannabis partner.

420 Alert – Cannabis Shopping in the Age of Amazon: How Mail-Order Weed Could Impact Fledgling Canadian Market

September 10, 2018

September 10, 2018 15:20:12

The countdown to cannabis is fully underway, at least for our friends to the north. Canada will become the first G7 nation to fully legalize recreational marijuana for adult use in just 36 days and some change, but that doesn’t mean that everyone will be running out to their local dispensaries to load up on the green goodness. On the contrary, in today’s world of convenience, some reports have suggested that as much as a third of all recreational users in Canada will turn to online purchasing after October 17. How online deliveries can be adequately monitored to ensure that the drug doesn’t end up in the hands of young people is proving to be a high priority topic for Canadian officials, as detailed in a recent article published by The Star (http://cnw.fm/iCQ9c).

Parameters in Place

British Columbia and the B.C. Liquor Distribution Board (which will control all online recreational cannabis sales in the province) have already taken these delivery concerns into account, having developed…

CannabisNewsAudio – Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) Making the Most of Approaching Changes in the Cannabis Sector

September 4, 2018 13:30:44

Related Editorial
The pending legalization of recreational cannabis and the extraction of cannabinoids from hemp in Canada is only one in a series of changes bringing expectations of new growth to these industries.

Legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada is set to establish an industry worth billions of dollars every year.
American companies can make the most of this change through cross-border partnerships and Canadian subsidiaries.
Industrial hemp offers another option for companies in this sector, producing and extracting cannabinoids, including CBD and other cannabinoids, from the flowers and leaves will become legal on October 17, 2018.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile) is making the most of these changes, developing CBD products and industrial hemp cultivation processes alongside its Canadian partner, Global Hemp Group Inc. (CSE: GHG) (OTC: GBHPF). Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG) has acquired Sunlight Supplies to give it a larger hold in the hydroponic cultivation market. GrowGeneration Corporation (OTC: GRWG) is also specializing in hydroponics, which it expects to become a $4.5 billion industry. Micron Waste Technologies, Inc. (OTC: MICWF) (CSE: MWM) is creating a specialist onsite waste management system for cannabis farmers. And as hemp cultivation appears to be on the cusp of expansion, Future Farm Technologies (OTC: FFRMF) (CSE: FFT) is producing millions of seeds with which to get farmers started.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Sunniva (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) Considered Undervalued by Investment Researchers

September 4, 2018 11:14:17

Sunniva (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) was recently covered in a publication by Beacon Securities Limited that argued that Sunniva is significantly undervalued. An article further discussing the company reads: “Cannabis supplier Sunniva Inc.’s (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) strengthening foothold in California’s and Canada’s consumer-populated markets has been failing to translate to its stock price and market cap since it began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange and the U.S. OTCQX® Best Market in January, leading investment researchers at Beacon Securities Limited (http://cnw.fm/PhE2A) to classify Sunniva’s public offering as a “badly mispriced” listing that could reward investors who buy in at undervalued levels reported at the time of its July 30 market update, titled ‘Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) California Dreams Have Never Been This Cheap’. …Beacon Securities argues that Sunniva’s assets in Canada are worth more than the company’s entire current $180 million market cap and that its near-commercialization property in California is effectively being given zero value, ‘or, in fact, negative — a proposition that is ludicrous given the imminent launch of its 489,000 SF greenhouse (with on-site dispensary and distribution license) in the world’s largest cannabis market in California.’”

Soon after, a ‘Yelp’ style social media application available in the Apple App Store was launched as a database of marijuana dispensaries and cannabis strains to provide consumers with a database of reviews and locations.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Barron’s Article Highlights Huge Upside Potential of Cannabis Stocks

August 30, 2018 11:28:33

A recent Barron’s article by Steve Garmhausen, titled ‘Pot Stocks Can’t Be Ignored’, puts a spotlight on the strong performance of marijuana stocks through the first three-quarters of 2018. As the article notes, “Marijuana stocks have been an investor darling this year, with even hedge fund billionaire Leon Cooperman betting his own money in the sector.” The most recent buying frenzy in the space came on the heels of a late-August report that alcoholic beverage giant Diageo (NYSE: DEO) was in talks to invest in or partner with at least three Canadian cannabis companies. Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY), one of the largest and most sophisticated producers of premium medical cannabis in the world, saw its shares skyrocket from $17 at its July IPO to a high of more than $62 earlier this week. Likewise, Cronos (NASDAQ: CRON), which commenced trading on the Nasdaq in February, rose from a mid-August low of $5.65 to a 52-week high of $12.89 in the wake of the Diageo news. “This is like bitcoin levels, the kind of move Tilray is making,” cannabis investor Jason Spatafora told MarketWatch. “The market is completely irrational.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – The Flowr Corp. Partners with Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG) Subsidiary to Conduct Cannabis Testing

August 27, 2018

August 27, 2018 09:40:20

The Flowr Corp., a Canadian licensed producer that focuses primarily on premium flower production, was recently highlighted in a Bloomberg article titled, “Scotts Miracle-Gro Tests Whether It Can Make Pot Grow Too,” authored by Kristine Owram. Per the article, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company’s (NYSE: SMG) subsidiary, Hawthorne Gardening Co., is partnering up with Flowr to build a 50,000-square-foot research facility on the same site as Flowr’s grow-op in Kelowna, British Columbia. Firstly, the new lab will test Hawthorne’s lights and nutrients on cannabis, with plans to ultimately conduct more in-depth studies on the plant.

Currently producing 250 grams a square foot at its grow-op, Flowr seeks to nearly double that number to produce some of the highest crop yields in the industry, targeting an ultimate yield of 450 grams. The company has already inked supply agreements with the Ontario and B.C. governments ahead of legalization and has secured a distribution agreement to sell medical marijuana in Germany next year. Presently, the company’s seasoned executives are eyeing opportunities in the Caribbean and South America. The president and co-founder of Flowr, Tom Flow, was also the co-founder of MedReleaf Corp., a company recently acquired by Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (OTCQB: ACBFF) for roughly $2.2 billion in stock. Flow also brought several of the MedReleaf team members to Flowr, which is set to list on the TSX Venture Exchange next month via a reverse takeover.

CannabisNewsAudio – Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) Poised to Benefit by Potential Changes in Hemp Legislation

August 24, 2018

August 24, 2018 11:14:24

Related Editorial
The hemp industry is growing in North America and appears to be set for further expansion thanks to legislation making its way through the U.S. Senate.

Hemp is a cultivar of the cannabis sativa plant that lacks the active drug ingredient that makes marijuana users high.
It can be used to produce medicinal CBD oil as well as fibers for rope, paper and canvas.
Even in difficult growing conditions, hemp can provide higher profits than many other crops.
It has a lower environmental impact thanks to low water consumption and little need for chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile) has hemp already growing at cultivation sites in Canada and the United States, experimenting with improved strains and cultivation techniques. As a provider of hydroponic equipment, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG) is benefiting from the growing cannabis industry and will likely see increased sales thanks to a recent acquisition. Another provider of hydroponics, GrowGeneration Corporation (OTC: GRWG), has already seen a dramatic increase in sales thanks to acquisitions and the rise of cannabis. Micron Waste Technologies, Inc. (OTC: MICWF) (CSE: MWM) is launching specialist waste treatment equipment for cannabis growers. And as federal hemp legislation comes closer to passage, Future Farm Technologies (OTC: FFRMF) (CSE: FFT) is producing millions of hemp seeds ready to be planted by farmers in Maine.

As Senate Brings Legal Change, Hemp Offers Hope for American Farmers

Receive Text Alerts from CannabisNewsWire: Text “Cannabis” to 21000

August 22, 2018 08:00:41

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The hemp industry is growing in North America and appears to be set for further expansion thanks to legislation making its way through the U.S. Senate.

Hemp is a cultivar of the cannabis sativa plant that lacks the active drug ingredient that makes marijuana users high.
It can be used to produce medicinal CBD oil as well as fibers for rope, paper and canvas.
Even in difficult growing conditions, hemp can provide higher profits than many other crops.
It has a lower environmental impact thanks to low water consumption and little need for chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
