420 with CNW – New Zealand Releases Details of Cannabis Legalization Referendum

May 9, 2019 03:20:31

The government in New Zealand has released details of how a referendum will be conducted in 2020 on the legalization of recreational marijuana. The plan was released by Andrew Little, the Justice Minister, in a press release.

The three parties which make up the current government agreed on the basic elements of the plan through which recreational marijuana use will be regulated, taxed and commercialized for adults 20 and above. The outcome of the vote will be binding, so voters shouldn’t have any fears that the government will not implement the decision of the people.

In the proposal, people will be allowed to grow a limited number of cannabis plants and licenses will be issued to places where recreational consumption can be done outside the privacy of people’s homes. Marijuana advertising will be highly restricted as well.

For the voters to make a decision, the referendum question needs to be as clear as possible so that if approval is given, voters know what legalization model they have voted for. This will prevent the lack of clarity on how to implement the decision of voters as is playing out in Britain after voters approved Britain’s exit from the EU but how to implement that decision has proved to be more divisive than the referendum on Brexit.

Andrew Little revealed that the cabinet decided to hold the referendum on full legalization because simply decriminalizing recreational cannabis would not provide the public health safeguards the country needs in order to protect the youth and help those who are addicted.

The minister also outlined the primary and the secondary objectives of the legalization bill which will be formulated so that voters decide based on the contents of that draft bill. These objectives include disempowering the illegal cannabis trade, ensuring cannabis product safety through the control of THC concentrations, and fiscal sustainability.

The legalization plan outlines the timelines for different activities which will be done in the run up to the referendum in 2020. These activities include inter-party consultation, receiving and analyzing feedback from stakeholders about the legalization model and voter education about the entire legalization plan after all the relevant documents have been printed and disseminated widely across the country.

If recreational marijuana is finally legalized through the referendum, New Zealand will be the first country in the world to legalize adult-use marijuana through a referendum. Uruguay and Canada took a legislative route.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) and Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE: CHM) (OTCQB: CHMJF) applaud the government in New Zealand for taking the time to formulate a detailed plan through which the people will be asked to make an informed decision about recreational cannabis. All that is left is to implement the plan and respect the decision made by the voters.

420 with CNW – Michigan Retailers Ordered to Only Stock Cannabis from Licensed Growers

May 8, 2019 15:20:31

Michigan has been struggling to get a handle on the illegal cannabis market and their latest action has seen them instruct medical marijuana provisioning centers to stop accepting cannabis grown by caregivers and instead only accept supplies from growers licensed by the state.

LARA (Licensing and Regulatory Affairs) also says that caregiver growers can start selling cannabis to the licensed growers and processors, but the caregiver growers will have to meet the cost of testing their cannabis before the licensed processors and growers can accept it.

Rejecting the cannabis grown by caregivers is just another twist in the regulatory chaos as the state struggles to move from a largely informal industry to a regulated one. Their efforts in this direction have been met by legal challenges initiated by the unlicensed cannabis businesses which the regulators wanted to close.

Judge Stephen Borrello of the Court of Claims has variously described what the regulators are doing as “freakish or whimsical.” The Judge has so far made several rulings against LARA, the most recent being one in which unlicensed dispensaries can continue operating for 60 days after LARA has rejected their application for a license.

During that court session, the judge gave the regulators the liberty to decide whether caregiver growers could continue supplying medical cannabis to dispensaries. The regulators promptly acted on that and issued their guidelines barring caregiver growers from taking their cannabis to dispensaries.

This action by LARA has stirred what is an already sour relationship between the “corporate cultivators” and the caregiver cannabis growers. The caregiver growers see the large corporate cultivators as being only interested in making profit at the expense of patients while the big growers see caregiver growers as people who supply cannabis of questionable quality to undercut their profits.

Those accusations have some basis, because some of the cannabis from caregiver growers has tested positive for mold, E-coli, Salmonella and other contaminants. Nonetheless, consumers prefer the cannabis from caregiver growers because it is more affordable and is in tune with the needs of patients.

Critics of the action taken by LARA now say that the caregiver growers are simply going to start supplying the unlicensed sellers, to the detriment of the legal cannabis industry since these products will not have to undergo the costly testing processes required in the regulated market.

Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) and Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) hope that the regulators take well-considered decisions so that the medical cannabis industry in Michigan can finally stabilize.

Next Stage Cannabis Stocks in the Spotlight

May 8, 2019 10:51:00

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Projections for the cannabis markets are staggering, yet there’s evidence that the lofty estimates may be understated.

  • Cannabis projections often fall far short of actual sales growth.
  • Cannabis-infused beverages looks to be next area of explosive upside.
  • Beverage and cannabis companies striking deals to gain market access.
  • New technologies could snag significant market share.

At that time, consensus was that Canada could reach CA$2.8 billion in legal sales by 2020. Sage prognosticators now say that the market may exceed CA$7 billion in 2019.

Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) Aims to Reprogram the Course of Cancer with Gene Therapy Approach

May 8, 2019 10:32:09
  • Preclinical and clinical data indicate that Oncoprex immunogene therapy may be effective alone or in combination with targeted small molecule therapies; pre-clinical data also indicate potential effectiveness in combination with immunotherapies
  • Lung cancer is the second-most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide
  • Genprex holds an exclusive license to more than 30 issued patents and several pending applications covering its platform technologies, including patents covering the therapeutic use of the TUSC2 tumor suppressor gene
  • The value of the global immunotherapy drugs market is expected to surpass $385 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of more than 14 percent from 2018 to 2025

Clinical-stage gene therapy company Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) is pioneering a new approach to treating cancer with its lead drug candidate, Oncoprex immunogene therapy, an investigational therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). Oncoprex is designed to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells, to target and kill cancer cells via receptor pathways, and to stimulate natural immune responses against cancer. Oncoprex consists of the TUSC2 tumor suppressor gene encapsulated in a positively charged lipid nanoparticle. It is injected intravenously, specifically targeting cancer cells, which generally have a negative electrical charge. Once Oncoprex is taken up into a cancer cell, the TUSC2 gene is expressed in a protein that is capable of restoring certain defective functions arising in the cancer cell (http://nnw.fm/1w2WY).

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex, Inc. is a clinical stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for cancer patients, based upon a unique proprietary technology platform, including Genprex’s initial product candidate, Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). Genprex’s platform technologies are designed to administer cancer fighting genes by encapsulating them into nanoscale hollow spheres called nanovesicles, which are then administered intravenously and taken up by tumor cells where they express proteins that are missing or found in low quantities. Oncoprex has a multimodal mechanism of action whereby it interrupts cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells, re-establishes pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells, and modulates the immune response against cancer cells. Oncoprex has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Genprex.com.

Surging Vape Market Propels Smart Brands Growth

May 8, 2019 08:00:43

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The growth of vaping has led to the emergence of a new sector.

  • Vaping is tied to the tobacco and cannabis industries but has become popular as a healthier delivery system for both products.
  • Investment and mergers are fueling the industry’s expansion.
  • Working smarter in the competitive market may be savvy strategy.

Many companies are jockeying for position in this new space. Interestingly, some of the more successful companies may not necessarily be the big players but those that work smart with what they have. Among these smaller smart companies is VPR Brands LP (OTC: VPRB) (VPRB Profile), which has used innovative products and marketing tactics to expand its customer base. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO), a tobacco giant that has invested heavily in vaping. Greenlane Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GNLN) works on the distribution side and has impressive reach, supplying nearly 10,000 stores and two major online outlets. KushCo Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: KSHB) has moved successfully from packaging into cannabis. Thanks to cannabis-based medicines such as those created by GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH), vaping may even develop…

Full-Spectrum Seed-to-Sale Model, Quality Branding Key to Cannabis Success

May 8, 2019 08:00:18

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Last year was a year of maturation for the cannabis market.

  • California’s growing pains are a recipe for success for handful of savvy operators
  • Brands, consistency and scalability likely deciding factors for many companies
  • Projected global market size an open-and-shut case for scaling up NA sector

The market growth resulted from retailers in nine legal adult-use states being pushed beyond the sector’s historically core demographics, targeting fast-growing new segments such as women, with an emphasis on elements such as wellness and clearly labeled/low-dose alternatives. That trend was reinforced with CBD breaking out into the mainstream, as industrial hemp became legal throughout the United States, and cannabis companies looked for ways to stand out from the crowd. Some companies were more successful at this than others, with TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (XETR: TH8) (TCAN Profile) making huge strides recently to expand the upper-end procurement part of the business, as well as flesh-out its footprint of branded offerings. Other moves have been made by comparable sector players such as Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED), DionyMed Brands Inc. (OTCQB: DYMEF) (CSE: DYME), Cresco Labs Inc. (OTCQX: CRLBF) (CSE: CL) and CannaRoyalty Corp. (OTCQX: ORHOF) (CSE: OH), which are pursuing similarly comprehensive approaches to the sector that run the gamut from…

420 with CNW – Two Cannabis Bills to be Voted on by Congressional Committee this Week

May 8, 2019 03:20:32

Two bills dealing with access to medical marijuana by veterans are slated to be voted on by a congressional committee today (Wednesday, May 8). This vote comes barely a week after the Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee of Health conducted a hearing on the bills.

One of the bills up for a vote has to do with allowing VA doctors to prescribe medical marijuana. This bill also seeks to codify into law an existing policy which protects the VA benefits of veterans who use medical cannabis in accordance with state law.

The second bill that will be voted on seeks to compel the VA department to conduct research about the medicinal effects of cannabis for the common conditions which veterans suffer from. These include post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain.

A third bill which isn’t going to be voted on focused on allowing VA doctors to recommend medical cannabis for veterans who can be helped by the substance. This bill, sponsored by Rep. Earl Blumenaeuer, will not be voted on because its contents are already included in another bill that has been scheduled for a vote.

The broader bill also includes a clause which stops VA doctors from making medical records that state that a veteran suffers from “substance abuse disorder” if that individual uses cannabis in a state where marijuana is legal.

Another clause which was added to that bill asks the VA secretary to generate new diagnostic codes tailored to cannabis use.

Advocates have urged the Veterans’ Affairs committee to take action now so that veterans no longer have to go underground to access medical cannabis to relieve their symptoms. The advocates added that medical marijuana is here to stay, so there is no point in continuing to think along prohibitionist lines.

These bills to be voted upon mark yet another step in the push to reform federal marijuana laws. In March, another House committee passed a bill which intends to protect banks from federal prosecution resulting from the banks’ dealings with state-legal marijuana companies.

These bills being fronted in different House committees are in line with the “blueprint” designed by Rep. Blumenaeuer last year. In that blueprint, the congressman urged different committees to push through marijuana law reforms that fall in the ambit of their committees so that at the end of that process, the overall federal marijuana policy will have been overhauled.

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) hope that the bills are passed by the House committee and the entire Congress so that the men and women who have served this nation in the armed forces access medical marijuana in their time of need.

420 with CNW – Oregon Legislators Discuss Exporting Marijuana Surplus

May 7, 2019 15:20:38

The production of marijuana in Oregon is so high that the Oregon Liquor Commission estimates that the available inventory can address the supply needs of the state for nearly 7 years if demand remains at the current level. This overproduction has prompted lawmakers to consider exporting the excess cannabis to other jurisdictions where recreational marijuana is legal.

Senate Bill 582 is a preemptive step aimed at getting Oregon ready to move fast once the federal government relaxes its marijuana laws. Currently, marijuana is a schedule 1 controlled substance which cannot cross state lines.

Cannabis law reform at the federal level is expected to take one of two forms in the foreseeable future. First, the States Act which is before Congress seeks to get federal recognition that states have a right to make and implement their own marijuana laws without interference from the feds.

Alternatively, a statement by the Justice Department to the effect that the transfer of marijuana between states wouldn’t be a “priority for law enforcement” at the federal level can be interpreted to mean that states which have legalized marijuana can trade the substance between themselves.

Mike Getlin, a cannabis law reform advocate, says that should marijuana trade between states become a reality and Oregon isn’t poised to jump right in from the very onset, then a delay of even six months would be sufficient to knock the state out of contention as a major player in the interstate cannabis trade. Such an eventuality would flip the oversupply in Oregon from an asset to a major problem which can cripple the state’s cannabis industry.

SB 582 has provisions which would allow the Governor of Oregon to negotiate arrangements through which Oregon’s surplus marijuana can be sold to states where more supply is needed. The bill stipulates that only states where recreational marijuana is legal are eligible for an export and sale arrangement with Oregon.

Casey Houlihan, the head of the Oregon Cannabis Retailers Association, testified before the senate committee and revealed that the excess cannabis in Oregon will find its way to other states one way or the other, so it is better for mechanisms to be put in place so that the export can be done in a regulated way that brings revenue to state coffers.

Some of the cannabis companies that testified before the senate committee revealed that they had reduced their workforce by up to 80 percent because of the drop in marijuana prices due to oversupply within Oregon.

Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) and Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) look forward to a viable solution that can save the cannabis industry in Oregon from collapsing due to excess production.

May 7, 2019 13:09:00

  • The company is looking to raise nearly $9 billion through its IPO, which could contribute to a market valuation of $84 billion or more
  • The Uber pitch draws a parallel between the company and Amazon, emphasizing the massive expansion potential of the ridesharing platform

Uber Technologies Inc.’s (anticipated ticker symbol NYSE: UBER) upcoming IPO is anticipated to be the largest of 2019, and, according to a Bloomberg report, it could also be the hottest public offering in years (http://nnw.fm/oW2Kb).

420 with CNW – New Hampshire Senate Okays Medical Marijuana Home Cultivation

May 7, 2019 03:20:11

House Bill 364, a proposed law that seeks to allow patients taking medical cannabis to grow marijuana at home, has been approved by the senate in New Hampshire. The vote was close, but the bill sailed through 14-10.

Under the proposed legislation, patients who have been enrolled on the medical marijuana program of the state can have 12 medical marijuana seedlings, 3 young plants and 3 mature plants for their own use.

Currently, New Hampshire has 7,000 registered patients in the medical cannabis program. These patients have been compelled to get all their medical marijuana from just four Alternative Treatment Centers operating in the state.

The small number of retail outlets has resulted in high medical cannabis product prices, and many patients who cannot afford those products have resorted to using prescription opioids and other potentially harmful alternatives since medical marijuana isn’t covered by most insurance companies.

Activists have welcomed the bill saying that it will give patients a viable alternative to the expensive medical marijuana available at Alternative Treatment Centers.

There was resistance to the bill in the senate, and several changes were made in order to accommodate the concerns of the dissenting voices. For example, the bill initially had a provision which would allow a medical cannabis patient to gift marijuana to another patient who is registered to use medical cannabis in the state.

This provision was removed because there were concerns that such gifting would open the way to medical marijuana getting to the wrong people, such as criminal gangs selling marijuana on the black market.

Despite the changes, some senators, such as Sen. James Gray, are still adamant that legalizing home grows isn’t a good move. He said that the state has a rigorous system in place to make sure that the licensed cultivators only supply their products to the state-approved retailers. Allowing home grows creates a regulatory nightmare because it will be hard to monitor the plants grown by each patient who chooses to grow medical marijuana, Gray added.

Now that the bill has received senate approval, it now heads back to the House of Representatives where it had initially been approved and sent to the senate. The bill is coming back to the House so that the lawmakers there can consider the changes made by senate.

If the lawmakers in the House of Representatives pass the bill in its current form, then it will be sent to the desk of Gov. Sununu for a final decision on whether it becomes law.

TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) and Therma Bright Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) sympathize with the patients and call upon the authorities to pass the bill quickly so that those who cannot afford the medical cannabis in Alternative Treatment Centers can grow their own.

420 with CNW – Illinois Unveils Bill to Legalize Recreational Cannabis

May 6, 2019 15:20:58

A draft law through which Illinois will legalize recreational marijuana has been unveiled. The bill has some ambitious provisions, while others appear to have been borrowed from other states where marijuana is now legal for adult use.

One of the most noticeable provisions of the draft law is one that sets up a low-interest loan program worth $20million. Under this program, people from disadvantaged communities, such as African Americans, would borrow the money and set up cannabis businesses so that social equity can be promoted in the industry.

Another eye-catching provision in the law which was unveiled on Saturday (May 4) states that large-scale cultivators wouldn’t initially be licensed to operate within the state. Rather, small (“craft”) growers would be given priority at least for the first 12 months, and then larger players would be considered thereafter.

This emphasis on small growers is intended to spread the opportunities in the recreational cannabis sector to as many local players as possible.

The lawmakers also seem to have learnt a lot from California where local authorities have made it difficult for residents to access recreational cannabis by banning the operation of marijuana retail businesses in their jurisdictions. The draft bill in Illinois has a provision allowing local authorities to ban retail outlets within their areas for only the first 12 months.

Thereafter, any ban in a municipality can only be enforced once the voters in that jurisdiction approve the ban through a referendum. This is a great proposal because it puts the fate of recreational marijuana in municipalities in the hands of voters, rather than in the hands of a few municipal council members who may have divergent views from those of the people they represent.

The proposed law also has provisions on the likely taxes which will be levied on recreational marijuana products. For example, the lawmakers propose that customers will pay a 10 percent tax on cannabis products whose THC content is less than 35 percent while the products with a THC content that is higher than 35 percent will attract a 25 percent sales tax.

Entities that want to grow cannabis in the state will pay a permit fee of $100,000 while those who want to operate retail businesses will fork out $30,000 for a permit. Applicants from minority communities would pay lower permit fees so that the barriers to entry are reduced.

Debate on the bill is already heating up between proponents and those opposed to marijuana legalization. The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) (OTC: FLWPF) hope that logic will prevail during these debates and the best law will be enacted for the people of Illinois.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTCQB: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4) Sees Recent Cannamerx Investment as Key Growth Alliance

May 6, 2019 12:09:42

Redfund Capital (CSE: LOAN) (OTCQB: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4) recently announced that it has entered into a partnership with the Cannabis Mercantile Exchange (“Cannamerx”) as Cannamerx rolls out the first international global hemp and cannabidiol (CBD) auction platform. An article discussing the company reads, “Cannamerx is drawing hemp clients in Canada, the United States and Europe, and is in the process of seeking CBD labs in the United States that it can work with for trade in that country. . . . ‘The hemp revolution has begun in North America,’ Redfund CEO Meris Kott stated in a news release. ‘We are excited to help Cannamerx create a global path for many of these companies to trade hemp/CBD internationally and become cash-flow positive at a much quicker pace, decreasing their sales and marketing expenses and removing the “middleman,” thereby increasing net revenues. By next fall, we are hopeful CBD edibles will be federally approved and licensed in Canada with Cannamerx’s platform providing the raw materials to licensed LPs, who need hemp.’ . . . Kott added, ‘Investing in a working cannabis auction platform in the sector is a game-changer. Cannamerx has the ability to connect European buyers with Canadian licensed sellers, and South American licensed producers can with a click of a mouse list their products placing reserve prices to the rest of the world. There are many technology marketing plans to connect the world, but Cannamerx has already established itself as the go-to platform. Redfund recognizes that this is one of our most strategic growth alliances.’”

Cannabis-focused research and development company The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) recently received two prestigious Horizon Interactive Awards in the global categories of Best Responsive/Mobile Website (Gold) and Best E-commerce Website (Bronze) for its TGOD.ca website (http://nnw.fm/IW9Nc). An article discussing the company reads, “The new website focuses on driving awareness of TGOD’s position as Canada’s only 100 percent supplier of certified organic cannabis while facilitating direct medical product purchases for patients that provide medical documentation that’s confirmed by a health care practitioner. In March, the first group of patients enrolled in TGOD’s Growers’ Circle received access to purchase the company’s first certified-organic cannabis strain through the website (http://nnw.fm/V6mVj). . . . The Growers’ Circle launch is a limited production rollout of TGOD’s premium product, allowing the company to perfect its distribution ahead of its production ramp-up and scaled rollout this year. Early feedback has been extremely positive, the company reports. . . . TGOD cannabis is grown in living soil without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, and it is certified-organic by ECOCERT and Pro-cert, both of which are pre-eminent global certification bodies (http://nnw.fm/N9wq5). Hill & Knowlton consumer research confirmed that 60% of medical cannabis patients prefer certified-organic product. TGOD flower is packaged in recyclable glass jars and speaks to the company’s product quality, sustainability and regenerative philosophy.”

420 with CNW – Las Vegas City Council Votes to Allow Marijuana Lounges

May 6, 2019 03:20:01

On Wednesday (May 1), the Las Vegas City Council voted 4-1 in favor of a proposed ordinance that would see cannabis consumption lounges licensed to operate within the city. This means that the first consumption lounges could open by the end of this year.

Las Vegas becomes the first city in Nevada to pass regulations allowing cannabis consumption venues to open.

Carolyn Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas, abstained from voting due to a possible conflict of interest. She had earlier revealed that one of her family members works in the cannabis industry.

According to the ordinance passed, cannabis retailers and dispensaries will be free to apply for a special use license which will allow them to open a cannabis lounge. Once the permit is granted, the licensed business can sell cannabis and allow the buyers to consume marijuana on the premises.

The consumption lounge permit will come with a number of conditions. First, such a lounge should not be located within 1,000 feet from a school or a casino. Additionally, each cannabis lounge must have a system to control smoke so that marijuana smoke doesn’t escape to the exterior of the consumption facility.

Another condition in the ordinance states that no one will be allowed to smoke cannabis outside the consumption lounge. Cannabis lounge operators are also barred from allowing alcohol within the consumption lounge.

The ordinance didn’t pass without some opposition. Casino operators were particularly concerned that licensing cannabis consumption lounges would increase the intoxication issues that casinos have to deal with since someone may use cannabis in a lounge and head to a casino where he or she can consume alcohol.

The restriction of the proximity of cannabis lounges to casinos may have been aimed at addressing the concerns raised by the casino owners, but only time will tell how effective that measure will be.

For now, only businesses with a license to dispense cannabis will be eligible to apply for a marijuana lounge permit. Other interested businesses will have to wait for at least 12 months before they can qualify for the permit.

Sproutly Canada Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) and SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) applaud Las Vegas for taking the lead in allowing marijuana lounges in the state of Nevada. This step will solve a longstanding dilemma people have had because they could buy marijuana but didn’t have anywhere they could consume it outside their homes. The economy is therefore likely to benefit now that Las Vegas has decided to allow lounges to open.

420 with CNW – 3 Things We Get Wrong When We Look at Cannabis as We Do Alcohol

May 3, 2019 15:20:08

As more states move to legalize cannabis in the U.S., there is a tendency to think about marijuana in the same light as alcohol, and this sets up people to make a number of mistakes. Below are three things that you are likely to get wrong when you look at cannabis through the same lens as you think about alcohol.

Expecting Quick Results from Consuming Marijuana Edibles

When you take alcohol, it is fairly easy to know when you are approaching your limit and are now crossing into the realm of intoxication.

When some people consume cannabis edibles for the first time, they make the mistake of thinking that the products will produce immediate effects in a way that is similar to the timeline within which alcohol produces its effects.

What you may not know is that while alcohol can be absorbed by the stomach lining, cannabis edibles have to be digested and absorbed in the small intestine before you can notice the effects of the edible.

Consequently, it is possible to consume more than is needed to generate the effects that you want just because what you ate took long to kick in.

Expecting THC Concentration to Match Intoxication Levels

For decades, scientific data has existed showing that when someone’s blood alcohol level exceeds a certain concentration, then that person will be impaired. For this reason, courts have always upheld the charges against those found to be driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Many law enforcement agencies are taking the same view when determining driving while under the influence of marijuana. What these agencies don’t seem to appreciate is the fact that marijuana acts differently from alcohol.

It is therefore not possible for one to claim that someone was under the influence just because their blood had more THC than is stipulated as the legal limit.

Prosecutors are therefore likely to face a hard time from defense attorneys who bring into question the science behind the THC limits upon which intoxication is presumed.

Expecting Marijuana to Have the Same Effect

The effects of alcohol are fairly uniform across the different types. For example, someone who takes a certain number of glasses of wine is expected to be affected in a certain way. Similarly, one can predict how a given number of pints of beer will affect an individual.

However, the same cannot be said of cannabis due to the varying combinations and concentration of the components available in a given plant or strain. For example, the terpenes that give cannabis strains their flavor and taste can influence the effect of consuming that cannabis.

It is therefore erroneous to make generalizations about the effects of cannabis because it is hard to predict how the different cannabis products will react once consumed.

Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) and Net Element Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) call for cannabis to be studied thoroughly so that the plant isn’t judged based on misconceptions borrowed from what is known about other substances.

CannabisNewsAudio – Sproutly Canada, Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) Aims to Capture Part of the Cannabis-infused Beverages Market via Recent Joint Venture

May 3, 2019 13:00:18

Related Editorial
Projections for the cannabis markets are staggering, yet there’s evidence that the lofty estimates may be understated.

  • Cannabis projections often fall far short of actual sales growth.
  • Cannabis-infused beverages looks to be next area of explosive upside.
  • Beverage and cannabis companies striking deals to gain market access.
  • New technologies could snag significant market share.

Once viewed as wild conjecture for the future of cannabis markets, forecasts in 2015 fell severely short of actuality. At that time, consensus was that Canada could reach CA$2.8 billion in legal sales by 2020. Sage prognosticators now say that the market may exceed CA$7 billion in 2019. Catering to the tastes of market demographics, intense interest is now focused on the cannabis-infused beverages market. Not even legal in Canada until this fall, the infused beverage market is already pegged to reach a mind-boggling CA$4.4 billion within five years.

Joining the ranks of the majors to meet this titanic demand, Sproutly Canada Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (SRUTF Profile) announced a joint venture with Moosehead Breweries, the largest and oldest independent beer company in Canada. Cannabis colossus Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) announced a research partnership into infused beverages and is bringing in executives with backgrounds in the beverage industry. The maker of Corona and Modelo beer increased its stake in Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) to 38%, spurring speculation of cannabis-infused beverages to come. HEXO Corp. (NYSE American: HEXO) (TSX: HEXO) entered a joint venture with Molson Coors Canada to produce CBD-infused beverages. And New Age Beverages Corp. (NASDAQ: NBEV) is anticipated to begin roll out of Marley+CBD-infused drinks in four targeted U.S. states.

420 with CNW – Moosehead Teams up With Sproutly Canada to Produce Cannabis Beverages

May 3, 2019 03:20:10

Moosehead Breweries Ltd, one of the largest breweries in Canada, has announced that it plans to form a joint venture with Sproutly Canada, Inc. in order to make cannabis-infused drinks. The drinks will be introduced on the Canadian market by the end of this year.

Andrew Oland, the CEO of Moosehead Breweries Ltd, said that the company wants to enter the cannabis beverages space as soon as the federal government in Canada releases rules to regulate cannabis edibles in the country.

As a leader in the beer industry, Moosehead is convinced that the company is well placed to be a major player in the cannabis drinks sector.

Once the joint venture is finalized, Mathew Oland will be its head. Mathew Oland is a former Vice President of Moosehead Breweries and in that role, he superintended the supply chain infrastructure of the brewery. While at the joint venture, Mathew Oland will oversee Research and Development (R&D), procurement and distribution as well as the operations of the new entity. A name for the joint venture hasn’t yet been agreed upon. The financial aspects of the joint venture are also yet to be finalized.

Keith Dolo, the CEO of Sproutly Canada, revealed that the joint venture will be given exclusive rights to use Sproutly Canada’s technology for five years, which can be extended for two more years.

Dolo added that working with Moosehead will expedite the process of getting the drinks developed to the market in a sector that is expected to be highly competitive.

To get an idea about how tough the competition is likely to get, consider the fact that Canopy Growth and Constellation Brands are finalizing a bottling line for cannabis beverages. Another cannabis company, Hexo Corp. also teamed up with Molson Coors Brewing Company to make marijuana-infused drinks. Other small players have also expressed their interest in entering the cannabis drinks market.

However, the drinks made using Sproutly Canada’s technology may have an edge in the industry since this technology shortens the time within which a person can feel the effect of the drink he or she has consumed.

Just for comparison purposes, the cannabis drinks available in California take more than an hour to kick in and the effects wear off between 4-8 hours later. In contrast, Sproutly’s technology results in a cannabis drink whose effects are felt within five minutes and those effects wear off in less than two hours. No prizes for guessing which product stands a higher chance of being a hit in the market!

Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) and Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) congratulate Sproutly Canada, Inc. and Moosehead Breweries Ltd upon their desire to form a joint venture so that Canadians can have an increased number of options to select from when they want a cannabis beverage.

420 with CNW – Confident Cannabis Raises $12M for Nationwide Expansion

May 2, 2019 15:20:22

Confident Cannabis, a cannabis wholesale platform, has raised $12m to bring its total capitalization to more than $18m from their inception. The new funding is intended to enable the company to expand its operations into new territories across the country.

The Series A funding round was led by Poseidon Asset Management, a cannabis venture capital fund based in San Francisco. Other entities that invested more funds in Confident Cannabis include Y Combinator, Bullpen Capital, FJLabs as well as Greenfield Global and Base Ventures.

Confident Cannabis focuses on empowering all verticals within the cannabis industry so that all players, including cultivators and finally customers of cannabis end-products can know what is available in the industry, who makes it and what that specific product is made from. Confident Cannabis’ platform makes all this information available in real time, and the data they provide is verified by independent labs.

Last year in October, Confident Cannabis launched its platform, Wholesale, in Oregon. This meant that, for the first time, all players in the cannabis industry could interact with each other without having any fears about the authenticity or quality of the products showcased on the platform. The doubts were removed because Wholesale availed lab test results from licensed testing facilities.

Morgan Paxhia and Emily Paxhia, the two cofounders of Poseidon Asset Management, revealed that they decided to invest in Confident Cannabis after watching it closely from 2015 and seeing how far Confident Cannabis has come.

Emily Paxhia added that they were intrigued when all labs they encountered raved about how good the software provided by Confident Cannabis was. This was unexpected, because testing facilities rarely sing the praises of the software powering their systems. Poseidon Asset Management was hooked, and their participation in the Series A funding round is testament to their confidence in the future of Confident Cannabis.

Currently, more than 40 percent of all the marijuana which is produced legally within the U.S. passes through the lab testing platform run by Confident Cannabis. The expansion of their operations into more markets will avail that inventory of cannabis to more wholesalers, retailers and consumers.

All the entities that participated in this funding round praised Confident Cannabis for helping to increase compliance within the marijuana industry by providing solutions which address the current and future needs of the industry.

Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTCQB: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4) and Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) wish Confident Cannabis all the best because what they are doing helps all other players in the industry.

Blockchain Goes Hollywood Issues Letter from the CEO

May 2, 2019 14:52:57

Robert Corriveau, CEO of Blockchain Goes Hollywood, recently issued the letter below to update the public concerning the celebrity-themed event previously scheduled for May 30 – June 2, 2019.

Hello to all,

Blockchain Goes Hollywood was looking forward to servicing the blockchain community with a one-of-a-kind event, but it comes with a heavy, sad-felt heart that we must cancel our event. The team had been working hard for up to 9 months preparing to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our sponsors, attendees, speakers, and guests, but in the end, we just could not make it happen.

We would like to thank everyone that did show a lot of interest, to the sponsors we did have, and most of all to all the people, marketing partners and individuals that helped us promote Blockchain Goes Hollywood. Though we may have not seen the sponsorship we hoped for, it was with their effort Blockchain Goes Hollywood received a lot of exposure to the market.

We would like to thank Bicycle Casino as well for working with us and offering us their amazing casino to host our event.

This will not be the end, though. We are still looking forward to holding a once-in-a-lifetime event in the future when the blockchain ecosystem is more promising. Again, we cannot thank enough all the people that helped us get this far, and the amazing speakers that were going to attend the event.

Yours respectively,

Robert Corriveau
Chief Executive Officer

NetworkNewsBreaks – Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (GRYN) Strengthens Portfolio via Premier CBD Processing Lab Acquisition

May 2, 2019 14:34:44

Green Hygienics Holdings (OTCQB: GRYN), a premium cannabis firm, recently added one of North America’s leading CBD processing labs to its portfolio through the acquisition of Coastal Labs (http://nnw.fm/X1j30). An article discussing the company reads, “Coastal Labs (www.CoastalLabs.com) specializes in being an exclusive provider of state-of-the art extraction techniques and equipment for the cannabis industry, in addition to providing wholesale distribution for clients looking to purchase in bulk. Coastal Labs was founded as an exclusive provider for a limited clientele demanding the highest purity standards. The company initially began sales in CBD isolate production when there was an extreme shortage in the marketplace.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Genprex Inc.’s (NASDAQ: GNPX) Collaborators Report Positive Preclinical Data in Lung Cancer Treatment Study

May 2, 2019 14:26:19

Clinical-stage, gene-therapy company Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) recently reported that positive preclinical data for the combination of the TUSC2 gene with an anti-PD1 antibody was recorded by its University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center collaborators in a lung cancer treatment study (http://nnw.fm/8E4bC). An article discussing the study reads, “The results of the study, which analyzed the combination of the TUSC2 gene and anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab, were presented in a poster at the 2019 American Association of Cancer Research Meeting. TUCS2 is a tumor suppressor gene and the active agent in Genprex’s Oncoprex immunogene therapy. . . . The poster data showed that TUCS2 in combination with checkpoint blockade was more effective than checkpoint blockade alone in increasing the survival of mice with human immune cells (humanized mice) that had metastatic lung cancer. TUCS2 in combination with pembrolizumab demonstrated the ability to significantly slow tumor growth.”

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex Inc. is a clinical-stage, gene-therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for cancer patients, based upon a unique proprietary technology platform, including Genprex’s initial product candidate, Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Genprex’s platform technologies are designed to administer cancer-fighting genes by encapsulating them into nanoscale, hollow spheres called nanovesicles, which are then administered intravenously and taken up by tumor cells where they express proteins that are missing or found in low quantities. Oncoprex has a multimodal mechanism of action whereby it interrupts cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells, re-establishes pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells and modulates the immune response against cancer cells. Oncoprex has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Genprex.com.

NetworkNewsBreaks – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Seeks to Capitalize on the Advantages of Hard Rock Mining

May 2, 2019 14:21:41

British Columbia-based company Quantum Minerals (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) is approaching three years of labor at the Irgon Dike, located in a region recognized for its spodumene and rare-element-bearing pegmatites. Typical hard rock mining effort takes three to five years to complete. An article discussing the company reads, “QMC is bullish on the value of hard rock-mined spodumene as opposed to the extraction of a lithium concentrate through dry lake evaporation techniques, as used in the Lithium Triangle. . . . ‘When lithium prices headed upward, investors learned that Chile was pouring out tons of the metal at low costs. The Atacama salt flats became famous, and people assumed that reaping lithium from brines was easier than pulling it out of rock,’ the company states on its website (http://nnw.fm/DDJ0j). ‘The truth is that, although lithium brines occur in many places around the world, only highly concentrated brines actually produce lithium economically. In contrast, hard rock lithium mines have numerous advantages. They do require more exploratory work; however, once the surveys and sampling are completed, hard rock pegmatite deposits are faster to mine and production is more reliable.’”

420 with CNW – Marijuana Investor Donates Millions to Harvard and MIT for Cannabis Research

May 2, 2019 03:20:25

Charles R. Broderick, a cannabis investor, has donated $9 million to his alma mater (Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology-MIT) so that the two institutions can conduct research into the health effects of cannabis.

The two academic institutions described the donation that they had received as the largest ever private funding into marijuana research.

Speaking about his donation, Broderick said that the absence of sufficient scientific research on cannabis has allowed some players in the industry to make claims that may be hard to verify. He added that since prohibitionist laws are collapsing around the world, the time has come to study the plant so that people have accurate information rather than having to rely on old science or anecdotal evidence.

One of the areas that will be focused on during the research funded by Broderick is the psychological and cognitive effects of marijuana.

Charles R. Broderick has been investing in the cannabis industry since 2015. He got his feet wet in Canada and then later expanded his interests into the U.S. marijuana industry.

The investor reveals that Harvard was initially reluctant to accept his donation due to Broderick’s involvement in the cannabis industry. However, his offer was accepted after brain chemical researchers at the university were excited by the opportunity.

MIT and Harvard insist that the findings of the research will not be influenced in any way by the interests of the donor. The institutions vowed that they would release their findings to the public regardless of whether the findings indicate that marijuana is harmful or helpful.

Meanwhile, interest in cannabis research is growing in academic circles. Additionally, the boom in marijuana industry jobs has prompted many universities to start offering some form of cannabis courses.

For example, Colorado State University offers students a minor in the legal, social, health and political impact of cannabis. Harvard, Ohio State University and the University of Denver all offer courses on marijuana law and policy.

The jobs that students expect to get after taking those cannabis courses vary in accordance with the range of products and services created by the cannabis industry. These include the medical uses of cannabis, the manufacture of fabrics from hemp, the processing of cannabis-infused foods and beverages, making of recreational cannabis products, etc.

Currently, recreational marijuana is legal in 10 states and more are queuing to join that list. Medical cannabis is permitted in 33 states across the U.S. For this reason, MustGrow Biologics Corp. and Nabis Holdings (CSE: NAB) (OTC: INNPF) (FRA: 71P) welcome the donation made by Broderick since the research done will make more information available about cannabis so that the excuse of insufficient research used by detractors will be no more.

420 with CNW – Trump Administration Opposed to Medical Cannabis for Military Veterans

May 1, 2019 15:20:05

The Department of Veterans Affairs has voiced its opposition to three bills that are intended to protect the VA benefits of veterans who use medical cannabis in states where it is legal, allow VA doctors to prescribe medical cannabis in states where it is legal and also expand research into the medical potential of cannabis.

The VA officials were speaking during a congressional hearing on Tuesday (April 30). For example, Keita Franklin (suicide prevention national director in the VA department) was of the view that the bill compelling the VA department to conduct research on the medical benefits and risks of cannabis was “too ambitious and risky” because a large number of human subjects would be involved.

Franklin also cited the guidance provided by the Drug Enforcement Administration to the effect that VA medical personnel aren’t allowed to prescribe medical marijuana in states where medical marijuana is legal.

Furthermore, the VA officials explained that they are also opposed to the bill which seeks to protect the VA benefits of veterans who consume medical cannabis in states where it is legal because the department already has a policy to that effect.

However, the sponsor of the bill insisted that the policy referred to isn’t sufficient since another administration can decide to reverse it. The best option is to write those protections into law, the lawmakers argued.

Several military veterans’ advocacy groups were also represented and expressed strong support for all the bills. The groups included Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

The strongest support among these advocacy groups was directed towards the bill seeking for more research into the therapeutic effects of marijuana.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars was however concerned that the VA wouldn’t be able to avail medical cannabis at its health facilities even if a policy shift occurred to permit doctors to prescribe medical marijuana. For this reason, the group wasn’t in support of the bill that intends to allow VA doctors to prescribe cannabis.

Some lawmakers were frustrated by the continuous stonewalling exhibited by the VA each time marijuana is up for discussion. The lawmakers suggested that it may be necessary to push for cannabis rescheduling since any bill that is passed will need the approval of the DEA, and the same response (rejection) will be given.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) and Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) can’t wait for the day when the debate on medical marijuana will focus on facts and the needs of the intended beneficiaries rather than on politics.
