Petroteq Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PQE) (OTCQX: PQEFF) Aiming to Revolutionize Oil Industry with Novel Heavy Crude Extraction Process

April 23, 2019 09:19:50
  • Petroteq Energy is developing an oil extraction technology that has the potential to follow fracking as the “next big thing” in driving America’s energy independence
  • Petroteq is developing its proof-of-concept extraction process in Utah’s east desert and recently established a benchmark for continuous production with the environmentally friendly technology
  • The company began selling oil regionally in November and is building its heavy oil production to 1,000 barrels per day

The oil and gas industry has long worked to successfully manage profit margins while keeping the nations’ transport systems humming through the continual high and low fluctuations of global crude supply pricing. The advent of shale “fracking” as an alternative means of oil extraction has granted countries such as the United States a booming domestic supply of oil.

Technology developed by oil sands extraction innovator Petroteq Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PQE) (OTCQX: PQEFF) could represent the next step in the development of oil extraction technology. Unlike fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, in which high pressure water and chemicals are injected into drilled wells to force open rock fractures and…

420 with CNW – Nevada Dragged to Court Over the Issuance of Marijuana Licenses

April 23, 2019 03:20:53

The growing discontent among companies that weren’t selected to receive one of the marijuana business licenses issued by the State of Nevada has grown to an extent of lawsuits being filed against the tax department.

A dozen companies have gone to court and want the state to be stopped from issuing more licenses until court decides whether the selection process was “capricious and violated the state constitution.”

A total of six lawsuits have been filed, all alleging that no one knows what criteria was used by the state when selecting the cannabis companies to grant a license and which applications to reject.

The hearings against the tax department largely stem from the second round of marijuana business licenses issued in December 2018.

The plaintiffs claim that the tax department arbitrarily selected 61 out of 462 applications for the expansion of the available businesses in the cannabis industry which is now approximately two years old in the state.

The 61 licenses were given for new laboratory, cultivation, manufacturing and dispensing facilities. The complainants also add that the process to award licenses worth millions of dollars in the cannabis industry ought to be transparent enough so that those who won know why they did and those who lost can believe that they lost fair and square.

The cases filed are set to start being heard in the course of this week. These cases come at a time when the state senate has passed a proposal to compel the tax department to release into the public domain cannabis taxpayer information that has up to now been regarded as confidential.

This proposal is now headed to Nevada’s Assembly for consideration. Once the proposal is enacted into law, the names of all the companies that applied for licenses, and all those that were selected would be released.

Gov. Steve Sisolak also agrees that something should be done about the grumbling against the licensing process, so he supports the measure making its way through the legislative process. The Governor came into office last year in November.

He has been calling for the creation of a regulatory body like the Nevada Casino and Gaming Board for the cannabis industry. To this end, he has set up an advisory panel to study and advise him about the best way to form a Cannabis Compliance Board.

The cannabis industry has been booming from 2017 when the first recreational sales were made. For example, recreational sales totaled $425 million in 2017, and this figure shot up to $884 million in the final six months of 2018.

Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) and Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4) can only ask that the misunderstandings about the licensing process should be cleared quickly so that all efforts can be concentrated on serving the people of Nevada.

420 with CNW – StatsCan Reveals that Cannabis Legalization Resulted in Canadian Weed Becoming More Expensive

April 22, 2019 15:20:37

Data released by Statistics Canada last week shows that after recreational cannabis was legalized in Canada on October 17, 2018, the price of legal marijuana increased by approximately 17 percent.

However, the Canadians who are buying pot from the licensed suppliers are paying about 57 percent more for the product when compared to those who are getting their weed from the black market.

Statistics Canada (StatsCan) arrived at these figures after collecting data from residents who were asked to volunteer information without any fear that they would be victimized for revealing their cannabis buying habits.

This creative approach helped StatsCan to get badly needed information about not just the legal cannabis market but most importantly the illegal market.

19,433 people volunteered information about their purchase of cannabis on the black market before recreational marijuana became legal in the country. The responses show that Canadians paid approximately $6.85 for each gram of cannabis on the black market.

After legalization, the average cost of a gram of marijuana increased to about $8.04. This is an increase of about 17.3 percent.

However, Statistics Canada cautions that their findings should not be wholly relied upon even if they cleaned the data and remained with only 936 responses from those that came in from the volunteers.

The Canadian official data collection agency says that the information could still suffer from statistical bias due to the limited number of responses and also because the responses were self-reported.

Smaller provinces and territories were particularly noted for the limited number of responses submitted. For example, just a handful of responses came in from Nunavut. In contrast, a disproportionately high number of responses were submitted from Quebec and Ontario.

Nevertheless, the data collected paints a believable picture of the Canadian marijuana industry. For example, the post-legalization average price of $8.04 for each gram of cannabis based on the data collected is a true reflection of the average cost of cannabis on the legal market and the black market combined.

Most importantly, the statistics show that the cannabis on the black market isn’t just more affordable, but its price is dropping fast. The data shows that the illegal weed cost $6.79 before marijuana legalization and it has now dropped to $6.37 a gram.

The data also shows that government-run marijuana retail stores were the most expensive with the average price being $10.73 for a gram of weed.

233 of the respondents admitted that they have continued to buy marijuana from the black market because the price of the legal stuff is too high for them. This provides some food for thought for the regulated marijuana market since the black market will continue to thrive if prices don’t reach affordable levels. U.S. states where recreational marijuana is legal can also learn from these findings and do some introspection about how to bring down the cost of cannabis on the regulated market.

Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) and Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) advise the cannabis industry to analyze the findings of Statistics Canada and use the information to make decisions that will take the legal cannabis industry forward.

CannabisNewsAudio – Sugarmade, Inc. (SGMD) Expands through Strategic Deals as Global Hemp Industry Surges

April 22, 2019 14:50:45

Related Editorial
Ever since the Farm Bill was signed into law, farmers across the United States have rushed into hemp cultivation, driving demand for the supplies needed to grow the crop necessary to meet surging CBD use.

  • Global hemp industry to reach $22 billion in 2022.
  • CBD market could increase 40 times in the next four years.
  • Hemp farming skyrockets to meet demand.
  • Serious squeeze on hydroponic and cultivation supply products.

Hemp is booming across the country, and nowhere more so than in Kentucky, where the applications to grow hemp are expected to increase fivefold, and acreage dedicated to growing the crop is set to more than triple this year. At the forefront of this explosive market growth, Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) recently inked a strategic supply contract with Hempistry Inc., a leading Kentucky-based cultivator of high CBD content hemp. Since passage of the farm bill, other major Canadian producers have also been making deals to expand hemp and CBD operations south of the border. Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) announced the acquisition of a large hemp foods maker, and Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) is making substantial investments in New York state. Aphria (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA) temporarily withdrew from the U.S. market while fighting off a hostile takeover bid. And after a $1.8 billion investment from a U.S. tobacco giant, Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) is expanding globally with eyes to the U.S. markets in the future. Even the largest Canadian licensed producers are betting on hemp CBD, underscoring titanic market growth.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Why Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) Is ‘One to Watch’

April 22, 2019 14:23:30

Clinical-stage, gene-therapy company Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) is focused on the development of potentially life-changing technologies for cancer patients. A recent article discussing GNPX reads, “Genprex holds a portfolio of 30 issued and two pending patents covering its technologies and targeted molecular therapies. The company’s research and development program is focused on identifying and developing leading-edge gene therapies that can be used alone or in combination with other therapies for treatment of cancer. . . . Genprex’s initial product candidate is Oncoprex, an immunogene therapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Oncoprex works by interrupting 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.”

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.

420 with CNW – Canadian Marijuana Consumers Unaware They Can Object to ID Scanning

April 22, 2019 03:20:05

Canadian law requires cannabis buyers to present a valid ID for verification before one buys recreational or medical cannabis. However, some retail stores are going a step further and scanning the IDs of their customers.

Such scanning isn’t provided for in the law, and the stores doing so are using that information for their own purposes. For example, some may use the collected data to track buyer behavior.

The danger in scanning cannabis buyers’ IDs is that there is still a lot of stigma attached to cannabis users. It would therefore be very damaging if the data collected by the marijuana retailers is accessed by hackers and leaked online.

Fears about unauthorized access to this data aren’t unfounded because some incidents have already come to light. For example, Canada Post revealed that there was a security breach in which the data of 4,500 cannabis buyers in Ontario was illegally accessed. This happened barely a fortnight after recreational weed became legal in Canada.

The personal data of cannabis buyers can also be used for other purposes, such as identity theft, by criminals who may decide to target the databases of the weed retailers.

The constant threat of being denied entry into the U.S. if you are found to be involved in the cannabis industry also hangs above Canadians. Having your ID scanned could allow U.S. immigration authorities to get proof that you buy and consume cannabis, something that could result in a lifetime entry ban.

It is such concerns that have prompted legal experts like Caryma Sa’d (a cannabis lawyer) to start the conversation about ID scanners in cannabis retail stores.

In response to the voices raised on this matter, one retail store in Toronto (PEI Cannabis) stopped using the scanners which they had reportedly been using “to check for fake IDs.”

Other stores claim that scanning one’s ID is optional, but they aren’t willing to assert that they notify their customers about their right to decline before the ID is scanned.

The onus may therefore be on each customer to take the necessary precaution of preventing their personal data from being collected and stored when such data collection doesn’t have any legal basis. Cannabis users in the U.S. would also be well advised to take the hint and protect their personal data more jealously, especially now when the federal government is still adamant that marijuana remain a Schedule 1 restricted substance.

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) and MustGrow Biologics Corp. call on the regulators to close any legal loopholes that may expose cannabis consumers to an invasion of their privacy.

420 with CNW – American Cannabis Sales Expected to Double on 4/20

April 18, 2019 15:20:26

For the uninitiated, 4/20 in the marijuana industry can be equated to Fourth of July. The exact origin of that “holiday” isn’t known, but there is speculation that the day is named after the time of the day (4:20 p.m.) when a group of students would meet outside their high school in the 1970s to hunt for some legendary cannabis plants that had been abandoned. According to that myth, those students never found that marijuana crop, so they doggedly kept up their search.

On 4/20, sales of marijuana are expected to, at the very least, double at all retail facilities in the U.S. states where recreational cannabis is legal.

This projection is drawn from the data collected by Headset Inc. The statistics show that historically, 4/20 has been the busiest day for pot sellers. This is especially true when that date falls on a Friday.

According to Headset Inc., 4/20 last year saw a 111 percent jump in sales when the sales on that day were compared to the cannabis sales on four Fridays before that day and another four after the “holiday.” The data analyzed was taken from Washington State, Nevada, Colorado and California.

In comparison, beer sales registered a modest jump in the two weeks that included July 4. Only a 33 percent rise in sales was discovered when the number crunchers did the math. This shows that cannabis “holidays” draw a more enthusiastic weed buyer response when compared to the way beer consumers behave on July 4.

Another way to see it would be that the trajectory of cannabis sales is on a sharp rise while beer sales reached their peak long ago, so holidays cannot trigger major movements in the market.

As already indicated, last year’s 4/20 fell on a Friday, a day when cannabis consumers seem to visit retail outlets more. This year’s 4/20 will be on Saturday, so that brings even better news to recreational cannabis retailers since the “eve” of 4/20 will be a magnet to buyers and the “holiday” itself will also inspire cannabis consumers to spend on weed. Chances are therefore high that marijuana sales will be record-breaking during that long Easter weekend.

The cannabis crowd across the border in Canada will not enjoy the day as much as their American counterparts will. This is because any added demand for recreational cannabis in Canada will be dampened by the persistent supply shortages that have refused to go away since weed was legalized on October 17, 2018.

Queues will be longer on that day, especially in places like Toronto where retail facilities are limited. And unfortunately, not all who line up will leave a retail store with their first-choice cannabis product. Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) and Marijuana Company of America (OTCQB: MCOA) look forward to the day when there will be no more cannabis shortages in Canada so that the people there can access all the products that they want.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Sugarmade Inc. (SGMD) Enters Supply Contract to Support Hempistry’s Micropropagation Work

April 18, 2019 13:25:58

Sugarmade (OTCQB: SGMD), a major supplier to the growing hydroponic cultivation sector, recently entered an agreement with Hempistry Inc., a Kentucky-based hemp cultivator, to deliver resources for its plant micropropagation work. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Sugarmade’s supply contract with Hempistry for the latter’s micropropagation operations is expected to be an ongoing relationship, as Hempistry grows domestically and into the international arena. . . . Micropropagation is a process that involves cloning or ‘propagating’ new hemp plants from existing ‘mother’ plants that have shown a desirable genetic profile. Much of the hemp cultivated in North America is grown through this propagation process rather than from seed, and the micropropagation process not only ensures exact replicas of the best mother plants but also allows for a very large number of plants to be readied simultaneously, according to the company.”

NetworkNewsBreaks – Earth Science Tech Inc. (ETST) Expands Distribution of Full-spectrum CBD to Include Pharmacies

April 18, 2019 13:22:39

Earth Science Tech (OTCQB: ETST), an innovative biotechnology company, is increasing the distribution of its full-spectrum CBD product to wider markets, including pharmacies. Cowen & Co. research recently found that independent pharmacies appreciate the high margins and variation from larger chains offered by CBD oils (http://nnw.fm/fD89D). An article discussing the company reads, “‘CBD products appear to be gaining traction with independent pharmacies, many of whom are already selling or planning to sell CBD oils,’ analyst Charles Rhyee wrote in the Cowen report titled ‘Cowen’s Collective View of CBD’. ‘Independent pharmacies likely find the high-margin profile of CBD oils attractive, which we suspect is similar to those of more traditional over-the-counter drugs, as well as the differentiation it affords independents relative to larger chain pharmacies.’ . . . The Cowen analysis projects that CBD products in the United States will hit $16 billion by 2025 and reach 10 percent of U.S. adults. Cowen found in a survey of 2,500 adults that 6.9 percent of Americans already use CBD as a supplement (http://nnw.fm/p4E8k). Rhyee added that independent pharmacies like the exclusivity that CBD oils offer them in their competition with larger chains.”

420 with CNW – First Medical Cannabis Greenhouse Opened in Sydney

April 18, 2019 03:20:05

Approximately one year ago, the Australian federal government changed its rules on marijuana and cleared the way for cannabis to be grown using taxpayer money. Those changes have seen the first government-run cannabis greenhouse opening in Sydney, New South Wales.

The plan is to start by growing limited amounts of cannabis for research purposes before commercial cultivation can begin.

Right now, the plants in the greenhouse will be studied on issues like humidity, fertilizers, temperature, lighting and other growing factors necessary to produce a crop whose attributes are uniform.

Once the facility can produce cannabis of the same medical quality, then patients will start buying either the plants themselves or their products.

For now, people suffering from cancer and epilepsy will be the first to get their hands on legal weed to help with their symptoms.

Adam Marshall, the Agriculture Minister in the New South Wales government, says that the overriding aim of the greenhouse is to document the conditions necessary to grow marijuana whose properties are consistent.

Dr. Phillip Wright, the chief scientist at this grow facility, says that the research phase of the project has taken long to start. Very little research has so far been done, he added.

There is a heavy security presence of local police and New South Wales drug squad detectives at the marijuana greenhouse in order to keep unauthorized people from accessing the facility.

This security detail is not far-fetched, because one cannot be sure to what lengths criminal gangs may go to lay their hands on the cannabis within the grow facility. Curious onlookers may also want to see legally grown marijuana since their only experience with this controversial plant has been when the authorities seize and destroy illegal supplies of cannabis. The heavy security presence can also therefore serve as a deterrent for onlookers trying to see what is taking place inside this historic greenhouse.

Patients may have to buckle up for a long wait because it is expected that the research work being done at the greenhouse in Sydney will last for several years. Samples are expected to be harvested and tested by the end of this year, but if Dr. Wright’s concerns are anything to go by, then the research process may drag on for longer than originally planned.

For the sake of the patients in Australia, Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) and Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN) hope that the process can be expedited so that medical marijuana can be available on the market as soon as possible.

420 with CNW – New Jersey Lawmakers Remain Undecided as Governor Sets Cannabis Legalization Deadline

April 17, 2019 15:20:21

Approximately a month ago, a vote in the New Jersey senate on a bill to legalize recreational cannabis was postponed after it was realized that the bill may not have enough support among the senators. Now Gov. Murphy has given the legislators up to the end of May to pass the bill or he would use his executive powers to expand the medical cannabis program.

Insiders say that the biggest sticking point is the matter of who qualifies to have their cannabis-related criminal record expunged.

The bill sets the marijuana possession limit at 5 pounds if someone is to have their criminal record erased. Some lawmakers are suffering from “sticker shock” at that number because they think that such a high limit will allow hardened drug dealers to benefit from this law.

However, supporters of the law say that the 5-pound marijuana possession limit is fair, and many of the people who qualify to have their records expunged have already served their jail sentences.

The supporters therefore say that it is hypocritical for New Jersey to collect money from recreational marijuana while continuing to “punish” those who were convicted for possessing the same marijuana that the state is collecting taxes from.

The advocates say ex-convicts should have a chance to rebuild their lives by getting jobs, buying homes and doing any other thing that other residents can easily do without being encumbered by a criminal past related to cannabis possession.

This now sets up the state for a classic catch-22 situation because the framers of the marijuana legalization bill may never convince other senators to support the bill if the limit remains at 5 pounds while some supporters will jump ship if the limit is lowered to accommodate what some Republicans and even Democrats are demanding.

It is believed that the bill needs 1-4 additional votes to pass. Those four votes are turning out to be a huge mountain to climb, yet the clock is ticking on the deadline set by the Governor who came to office having promised to legalize marijuana within his first year at the top.

If a vote doesn’t take place by end of May, then it may be pushed to December after new lawmakers are elected. For now, the Senate leader and other top leaders are scrambling to find a solution to the impasse so that the law can be passed as soon as possible.

The cannabis industry, including Global Payout Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and Golden Developing Solutions Inc. (OTC: DVLP), is holding its breath hoping that a solution is found quickly so that the intended beneficiaries of the law don’t have to wait for longer than is absolutely necessary.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Black Iron Inc. (TSX: BKI) (OTC: BKIRF) (GR: BIN) Anticipates Strong Economic Return from Shymanivske Project

April 17, 2019 13:25:15

Canadian iron ore exploration and development company Black Iron (TSX: BKI) (OTC: BKIRF) (GR: BIN) anticipates commencing construction at its 100%-owned Shymanivske project by the end of 2019. An article discussing the company reads, “Upon its launch, Shymanivske is expected to produce ultra-high-grade 68% iron ore concentrate at a very low cost. The use of such ultra-high-grade iron ore in the production of steel generates an array of benefits, such as increased blast furnace productivity and reduced greenhouse emissions. . . . Because of this fact, as well as the climbing price of iron, Black Iron anticipates a strong economic return from the Shymanivske project. This return further reinforces the unique investment opportunity that the project offers due to the fact that it’s located in a region with well-established infrastructure. Most of the iron ore developments across the world necessitate the construction of high-cost rail, power lines and even ports.”

Hemp Boom Spawns Lucrative Deals

April 17, 2019 08:00:11

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Ever since the Farm Bill was signed into law, farmers across the United States have rushed into hemp cultivation, driving demand for the supplies needed to grow the crop necessary to meet surging CBD use.

  • Global hemp industry to reach $22 billion in 2022.
  • CBD market could increase 40 times in the next four years.
  • Hemp farming skyrockets to meet demand.
  • Serious squeeze on hydroponic and cultivation supply products.

Hemp is booming across the country, and nowhere more so than in Kentucky, where the applications to grow hemp are expected to increase fivefold, and acreage dedicated to growing the crop is set to more than triple this year. At the forefront of this explosive market growth, Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) recently inked a strategic supply contract with Hempistry Inc., a leading Kentucky-based cultivator of high CBD content hemp. Since passage of the farm bill, other major Canadian producers have also been making deals to expand hemp and CBD operations south of the border. Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) announced the acquisition of a large hemp foods maker, and Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) is making substantial investments in New York state. Aphria (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA) temporarily withdrew from the U.S. market while fighting off a hostile takeover bid. And after a $1.8 billion investment from a U.S. tobacco giant, Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) is expanding globally with eyes to the U.S. markets in the future. Even the largest Canadian licensed producers are betting on…

420 with CNW – Dutch Government Unveils Plan to Conduct Regulated Cannabis Market Experiment

April 17, 2019 03:20:53

The Netherlands has had a unique model in which marijuana is neither legal nor illegal yet it is sold in coffee shops. However, the cultivation of cannabis is illegal in the country, so the cannabis products consumed in the licensed coffee shops are obtained from illegal sources. The government wants to end this situation by conducting experiments in the regulated production of cannabis.

To this end, ten cultivators have been selected and each one of them is expected to grow between six and ten different varieties of marijuana. The THC content of that marijuana will be prominently indicated on the product label.

Additionally, about six or ten local authorities will be selected to participate in this experiment. The cannabis grown by the selected cultivators will be exclusively sold in the local authorities that are selected for the program.

This planned experiment was revealed last year when consultations about the program started. The experiment will last for four years, so a final decision on the matter is likely to be made by the government or cabinet that is elected once the current one runs its course.

Already, opposition to this experiment has emerged from different quarters. For example, the umbrella body of the local authorities in the Netherlands (the VNG) says that the government will have a hard time getting local authorities that are willing to participate in the experiment.

This is because those selected areas will have to commit, and ensure that no cannabis from illegal sources is sold within their jurisdictions during the experiment.

Furthermore, the local authorities near borders are also expected to prevent cannabis from being sold to non-residents of Holland to prevent what the government is calling “drug tourism.”

In response to this criticism, the government stated that it would introduce the legally-grown cannabis in phases so that the participating local authorities and coffee shops don’t get rushed into the program.

The Council of State, which is the highest advisory body to the Dutch government, also criticized the cannabis experiment saying that its scope was too small. Just ten local authorities cannot be based upon to get representative information about the whole country, they said.

Nevertheless, the government is pressing on with its plan to announce the ten local authorities that have been selected to participate in this program by the end of this year.

Perhaps this approach of experimenting before passing laws legalizing or outlawing recreational cannabis needs to be adopted by other jurisdictions, such as the U.S. federal government. Such a controlled experiment can bring reliable results instead of passing laws based on preconceived ideas about the perceived effects of recreational cannabis.

Generation Alpha Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL) and Global Consortium Inc. (OTC: GCGX) look forward to the results of the Dutch experiment since those findings will provide valuable lessons that jurisdictions elsewhere can learn from.

420 with CNW – Canadian Army Veterans Switch to Cannabis Instead of Opioids

April 16, 2019 15:20:51

Veterans Affairs Canada has revealed that marijuana use among veterans in the country has skyrocketed so much that $65 million was spent on weed for veterans last year. This rise in medical cannabis use not surprisingly coincides with a decline in the use of prescription opioids by the veterans.

Previously, injured veterans had to take a cocktail of medications for the different conditions they were suffering from. Major Mark Campbell (Rtd) is one such former soldier who lost both legs during a tour to Afghanistan.

The retired major calls cannabis “magic” because it was the only remedy that could give him some relief from the chronic pain he felt since his final tour of duty. He reveals that he has reduced the prescription opioids that he takes by half from the time that his doctor recommended that he tries medical marijuana.

He added that the fact that so many veterans are turning to medical cannabis shows that it works for them. They aren’t taking it just to be high 24/7, Major Campbell joked.

The statistics of cannabis use among Canadian veterans are staggering. For example, 10,000 veterans used medical marijuana in 2018 alone. This is much higher than the 1,700 who used weed in 2015.

That surge in number explains why the department of Veteran Affairs forked out $65 million last year to reimburse medical cannabis dispensaries that dispensed marijuana to vets. That expenditure on cannabis comes as the reimbursements for prescription painkillers are dropping.

For instance, reimbursements for the prescription opioid fentanyl have reduced by 85 percent in just five years while the reimbursements for oxycodone have registered a 75 percent reduction in the same five-year duration.

Veteran affairs experts say that they have witnessed firsthand the switch by veterans from prescription opioids to marijuana without the accompanying depression and other symptoms of withdrawal from the addictive opioids.

The experts, such as Zachary Walsh (a University of British Columbia psychology professor), say that cannabis also holds massive promise because of its ability to combat different health challenges simultaneously. For instance, the veterans who use cannabis say it helps them fight pain, anxiety and sleep disorders.

While the department of Veteran Affairs in Canada has been spending record-breaking amounts of money on medical marijuana for veterans, advocates say a lot still needs to be done. The advocates say the department has a huge backlog of disability benefits to process and they are woefully understaffed.

Addressing those concerns would go a long way in assuring the former members of the armed forces that their contribution to the nation is valued. Earth Science Tech Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) call on the federal government in Canada to fix the kinks in the Veterans Affairs department so that the injured former soldiers can access medical cannabis without any needless hassles.

NetworkNewsBreaks – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Completes 2019 Phase One Drilling Program at the Irgon Lithium Mine Property

April 16, 2019 12:00:40

British Columbia-based company Quantum Minerals (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) this morning provided an update on its Irgon Lithium Mine Project located within the prolific Cat Lake-Winnipeg River rare-element pegmatite field of S.E. Manitoba. The company reported the completion of its 2019 Phase One drilling program on the Irgon Lithium Mine Property. The program comprised of 18 NQ diamond drill holes that were collared and completed for a total of more than 2,300 meters of drilling, with many of these holes intersecting substantial visible spodumene mineralization. The drill program, which was developed and overseen by SGS Canada, was designed to verify historic spodumene grades and intersections from the 1956 drill intersections and in channel samples taken across the dike on the -61-meter crosscuts during that period. The deepest hole in the current drill campaign cut 14 meters of spodumene-bearing pegmatite about 130 meters vertically below the surface of the dike, significantly deeper than the historic underground workings, and verifies that substantial spodumene mineralization continues to depth. The widest drill intersection, which cut 23.5 meters, also displayed noteworthy visual spodumene mineralization. The results attained from the drill program, along with all previous historical data, will be utilized by SGS Canada to prepare a resource estimate.

420 with CNW – Washington State Passes Medical Cannabis in Schools and Marijuana Testing Bills

April 16, 2019 03:20:26

Two separate cannabis bills have been passed by the Washington state Senate. One has to do with the use of medical cannabis in schools and another regards testing cannabis products before they get on the market.

The bill on medical cannabis in schools is intended to help students with chronic illnesses for which they are being treated using medical marijuana. The bill will allow those students to get their medical cannabis treatment while at school.

More specifically, the treatment will be administered by a parent, and not a school official or a nurse. This provision was intended to eliminate any liability issues that can arise from the administration of medical cannabis to students.

Secondly, the stipulation that only parents can administer medical cannabis to their children at school will also remove any issues that could have arisen regarding the licensing of the people administering medical cannabis to kids.

The senate bill also bans smoking medical cannabis on school premises. Students can therefore only receive medical cannabis edibles and other forms of marijuana. Cannabis products whose THC content is high are also banned from school premises. Most medical cannabis plants are carefully bred to have a high CBD content and very low, if any, THC.

The bill has a trigger clause that allows schools in Washington State to suspend accepting medical marijuana for students once the federal government threatens to cut off the funding of the schools over the medical marijuana program.

In a related development, the senate also passed a bill to modify the marijuana testing requirements of the state. This bill looks at various testing parameters, such as potency, mold, and pesticides.

The lawmakers observed that the existing law had gaps which allowed players in the cannabis industry to make some claims that are hard to verify on their product labels.

The bill wants to transfer oversight of cannabis testing labs from the Liquor and Cannabis Board to the Department of Ecology.

If the bill becomes law, the ecology department will be expected to table new testing guidelines in 2020 and 2021. These guidelines will stem the tide of facilities springing up and claiming to be cannabis testing labs.

The two bills had already got the nod from the state Assembly. The “yes” vote from the senate therefore means that the modified bills will be sent back to the House so that the lawmakers there can approve the changes made by the senators. Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) and Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE: CHM) (OTCQB: CHMJF) welcome the two bills because they will not only inspire confidence in cannabis products but also make it easy for students to receive their medical cannabis treatment while at school.

420 with CNW – New York City Council Wants to End Employee Drug Testing

April 15, 2019 15:20:31

As New York State gets closer to legalizing recreational marijuana, the city council of New York has voted in favor of a bill that will ban employers from subjecting prospective employees to pre-employment cannabis tests.

If enacted into law, this bill will be a trailblazer because no other city or municipality in the U.S. has passed such a law explicitly stating that employers are no longer allowed to test job applicants for marijuana before considering them for employment.

The bill contains a clause that it will only be enacted a minimum of one year after the bill has been passed. This lag time is understood to mean that by the time the bill is enacted, the State of New York will have passed its own recreational cannabis legalization law.

Advocates for this bill in the City Council should have no fears because the Mayor of New York City has indicated on several occasions that he will sign the bill when the time comes.

This bill will apply to employees in both the private and public sector. However, some categories of workers would be exempted from the protections of this law. For example, truck drivers, pilots and police officers will still be tested for marijuana.

Similarly, employees who are suspected of smoking marijuana on the job will also not be exempted from this ban on employee testing.

The city council of New York also passed another bill that removes marijuana testing as a condition for parole or probation. This particular bill will be enforced as soon as the Mayor signs it into law.

Analysts say the bill on parole and probation could possibly have a more significant impact than the one on pre-employment cannabis testing. This is because the bill brings a major shift in the dispensing of justice in the City.

According to available statistics, more than half of the companies in New York City perform pre-employment marijuana testing. These tests are expensive, as each test costs approximately $31-$40.

However, the usefulness of such tests has been brought into question since cannabis metabolites can be detected in a sample of blood or urine months after the individual consumed marijuana. Additionally, a positive test result doesn’t give any indication of the frequency of cannabis consumption, or whether the person tested was impaired at the time the test was done.

As more states legalize either recreational or medical marijuana, the likelihood of getting a positive test result increases exponentially and it gets harder to decide what to do with those results since an individual can claim to have consumed cannabis months back when traveling through a state where it is legal.

ChineseInvesters.com (OTCQB: CIIX) and Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) applaud the framers of the bill since the law will prevent the needless waste of precious resources on drug tests for a substance that is legal in for medical use two-thirds of the country.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) at Forefront to Advance Innovative Developments in Fight Against Lung Cancers

April 15, 2019 13:07:53

Clinical-stage gene-therapy company Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) is at the forefront to advance innovative developments in the war against lung cancers, testing its trademarked Oncoprex immunogene therapy. A recent article discussing this reads, “Oncoprex’s phase I and II clinical-stage trial therapies 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 (http://nnw.fm/aJtE9). The company has a portfolio of 30 issued patents and two more pending, and it is also conducting preclinical research to help identify which patients will be most likely to benefit from its gene therapies and which additional cancer drugs will be the most synergistic with Oncoprex.”

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.

420 with CNW – Cannabis Inhalers Could Be the Next Asthma and Cancer Pain Medication

April 15, 2019 03:20:10

Whole smoking is the most common administration method for medical cannabis, not all patients are willing or able to use this method. For example, those who have respiratory challenges like asthma are unable to smoke cannabis because it may aggravate their condition. Terminally ill patients may also find it hard to smoke marijuana as part of their treatment. For such patients, two Israeli companies have teamed up to develop cannabis inhalers through which they can take their medication.

The two firms are Panaxia Pharmaceuticals and Rafa Pharmaceuticals. The two companies are working together to bring marijuana inhalers to the market so that patients have one more way to get their medication.

For now, the companies are targeting asthma and the pain suffered by cancer patients. The companies hope to avail an administration mode that will bring quick relief to cancer pain or respiratory distress resulting from asthma symptoms.

This administration mode may easily gain acceptance in the market for several reasons.

First, inhalers aren’t a new mode of administering medication to patients. Asthma sufferers carry them around, so it would not be hard for them to switch to the cannabis version.

Secondly, it is possible to determine what precise dose of cannabis a patient should receive when using inhalers since the patient can be told to inhale a given number of times at stipulated intervals in order to get the right dose of cannabis into the body. Medical practitioners can therefore easily see cannabis as medicine if its dosage can be controlled.

Additionally, inhalation can provide faster therapeutic outcomes when compared to other modes, such as consuming cannabis edibles. This is precisely why asthma sufferers often carry an inhaler so that they can use it and see results faster when an asthma attack occurs.

At the moment, the innovators are conducting clinical trials together with the Israeli Ministry of Health in order to ascertain whether the product is ready to hit the market, or some kinks remain which need to be resolved.

Meanwhile, the companies have decided to start a marketing drive for the inhalers while the clinical trial is ongoing.

The plan is to avail the inhalers on the Israel market later this year. Only patients with a doctor’s prescription will be able to access the product. It is not yet clear when the two companies will start exporting their invention to the rest of the world. Remember, the Israeli parliament passed a law towards the end of last year allowing companies that have been licensed by the state to export medical marijuana.

Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) and Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) congratulate the two Israeli companies for finding a solution to administering medical cannabis to patients who are unable to use the modes that are currently available on the market.

420 with CNW – Cumbersome UK Medical Cannabis Program Forces Parents to Resort to Smuggling

April 12, 2019 15:20:27

Legally, patients who qualify can access medical cannabis across the UK ever since an enabling law paved the way for this treatment to be available from November 1, 2018. However, the reality is another thing altogether as patients are made to jump endless hoops in order to access medical marijuana through the National Health Service (NHS).

The cumbersome bureaucratic system has compelled many desperate parents of kids who badly need medical marijuana to resort to smuggling the medicine from other countries.

Emma Appleby is one of those parents, and her story is heart-wrenching. She says her daughter, aged nine, suffers from severe epilepsy that causes the child to have more than 300 seizures every single day.

Appleby tried to follow the official channels in order to get her daughter on the medical cannabis that has been documented to help patients like her child. However, she got one flat “no” after another as she presented her case before various medical officials who had to approve her application before her daughter could get medical cannabis.

This rejection pushed Appleby to the edge and last week, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She travelled to the Netherlands and bought medical cannabis oil worth nearly $6,000. This was sufficient to treat her daughter for three months.

However, customs authorities seized the medicine as soon as she landed back home. She is angry that her daughter continues to suffer while the medical professionals and the NHS keep arguing about what sort of evidence is required for one to access medical marijuana.

Emma Appleby has vowed to fight until the seized medication is returned so that her child can be treated. Hers isn’t a farfetched dream, since there is a precedent on this issue.

Earlier this year, another parent, Charlotte Caldwell, also tried to smuggle medical cannabis into the UK but it was intercepted by customs. However, the medicine was quickly returned to her (in less than a week) after her sick son’s health deteriorated and he was admitted. Cannabis had been keeping the boy stable, so when he went without it as the authorities prevented his mother from treating him with the smuggled medicine then his health went downhill rapidly.

Such cases have led medical cannabis supporters in the British parliament to rise up in arms against the implementers of the medical cannabis law who have made it hard for the intended beneficiaries of that law to access badly needed treatment.

The program is so hard to navigate that only 12 patients have got licenses to receive medical cannabis since November 1 last year when the law came into effect. TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) and VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) sympathize with the parents who have been forced to try and circumnavigate the law in order to access medical cannabis. The authorities should do whatever is possible to make it easier for patients to get the treatment they need.
