With a pending acquisition in the cultivation supply market, Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) appears to be well poised to become a strong pick-and-shovel provider to the hemp industry. Even the large cultivators and suppliers are now getting in the hemp market. One of the first companies of the larger players to make the move into hemp cultivation was Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON), which just a few days ago announced that it would invest $300 million to enter the hemp market. Not to be outdone in the hemp gold rush, Greenlane Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GNLN), which began trading on the NASDAQ, and The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) (TGOD Profile) have both entered the fray. KushCo Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: KSHB), another industry supplier, is also seeming to benefit for..

420 with CNW – Four Key Lessons After Four Years of Recreational Marijuana in Colorado

August 22, 2019 03:20:25

Last year Colorado marked four years of legal marijuana sales and the data from the state government shows a number of lessons that other states can learn from Colorado’s experience. The following are some of those key lessons.

The Revenue Potential is High

It wasn’t just hype when marijuana legalization advocates campaigned on the promise that legalizing marijuana would be good for the economy. Colorado’s data reveals that cannabis sales amounting to more than $6 billion were recorded between 2014 and 2018. These sales resulted in tax revenue exceeding $1 billion, and the state coffers are the better for it.

States that are considering legalizing marijuana should therefore have no doubt that the industry has the potential to boost their economies if they design appropriate laws and regulations.

Medical Marijuana Declines in the Wake of Recreational Marijuana

Colorado’s experience also shows that the medical marijuana segment tends to register falling numbers if recreational marijuana is legalized. For example, two-thirds of the marijuana sales described earlier were for recreational marijuana. Since legalization, medical marijuana sales have registered a 13 percent decline.

This drop has occurred in spite of the incentives established to boost the medical marijuana segment of the market. For example, Colorado offers tax exemptions and allows patients to buy larger quantities of medical marijuana.

Marijuana is Good for Tourism

The four-year statistics from Colorado also reveal that tourism was boosted as a result of the legalization of marijuana. So far, 3,388,000 “canna-tourists” have been recorded in the state. These are non-residents who have purchased either recreational or medical marijuana in Colorado.

If this number of non-residents has bought legal marijuana in Colorado, they have also spent on other products and services, such as accommodation, food and transportation. This goes to show the extent of the ripple effects of legalizing marijuana.

Innovations Drive a Saturated Market

Four years after the marijuana industry was legalized in Colorado, it is reasonable to say that the industry is almost saturated. At this point, innovations, such as new marijuana delivery systems, social consumption lounges and the development of niche markets are the new frontier of opportunity in the sector.

This means that other states that have either legalized marijuana or are planning to do so must have a robust and responsive regulatory system so that the industry doesn’t stagnate when it nears saturation.

Industry analysts strongly believe that the different cannabis industry players, such as The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF), take careful note of the lessons that each market offers and they use that data to fine tune their next moves.

420 with CNW – Federal Data Reveals Underage Marijuana Use Isn’t Increasing After Legalization

August 21, 2019 15:20:35

While marijuana legalization opponents often claim that legalizing the drug will cause underage use of marijuana to skyrocket, the data seems to contradict this view. The latest proof that the fears of those opposed to legalization are unfounded is survey data released by the Substances Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration-SAMHSA on Tuesday.

SAMHSA released the results of the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health showing that the proportion of youth who have used marijuana within the last 30 days was less than the percentage of those who had used the drug according to the survey results of 2002-2004 and 2009-2013. Instead the teen marijuana use rates where similar to those recorded during the surveys done 2014-2017.

Nationally, the survey results show that the rates of teen marijuana use have been showing a downward trend from the time states started legalizing recreational marijuana. For example, the kids aged 12-17 who admitted to using marijuana were 13.5 percent of the respondents in 2012 but that number dropped to 12.5 percent during the 2018 survey.

The highest rate of teen marijuana use was recorded in 2002 when 15.8 percent reported that they used cannabis in the past month.

It should be remembered that Washington State and Colorado were the first to vote to legalize recreational marijuana in 2012, and commercial sales started in 2014.

The 2018 survey also shows that cases of cannabis use disorder declined among children aged 12-17. This is the seventh straight year of dropping cannabis misuse by teens.

What makes the findings of this survey interesting is the fact that there is a growing reduction in the number of people who think that the recreational use of marijuana is risky. This flies counter to the view held by legalization opponents that when recreational pot becomes legal, the drug will be normalized and its abuse will skyrocket.

In all, the survey found that there was a general increase in the number of people who use marijuana in all age groups. Individuals who are older than 26 accounted for the largest increase in marijuana consumption with the rate going up to 13.3 in 2018 from 12.2 percent the previous year.

It is believed that the latest federal data may not have come as a surprise to cannabis industry players like Sproutly Canada Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FRA: 38G) and Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) since the industry has always maintained that adult-use marijuana could actually deter underage use since the market of the drug will be regulated.

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 – Maryland Court Rules Marijuana Smell Not Enough to Warrant a Body Search

August 21, 2019 03:20:33

The winds of change regarding marijuana laws around the country have evoked the lyrics of Bob Dylan when he wrote “The Times They Are a-Changin’” nearly 60 years ago. In fact, a court of law in Maryland quoted those very lyrics during its landmark ruling in a marijuana case in which the police was told they didn’t have “probable cause” to search the appellant just because the officers could smell pot.

This landmark ruling traces its roots to the arrest of Michael Pacheco back in 2016. The 26-year old had been found in his parked car in Montgomery County. The arresting officers testified that they were prompted to act when they sensed the smell of freshly combusted marijuana and they saw a cannabis joint on the car’s console.

These officers then ordered Pacheco out of his car and proceeded to search it. A subsequent body search unearthed some cocaine concealed in one of his pockets.

Pacheco’s legal team argued that the cocaine was found during an illegal search since there was no probable cause to justify the body search. This matter went to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals where Pacheco lost the case and was convicted.

His legal team filed an appeal with the Maryland Court of Appeals and this higher court quoted Bob Dilan as they quashed his conviction. The judges were unanimous (7-0) in their decision to reverse the conviction.

In their ruling, the judges observed that the laws governing marijuana had changed in different jurisdictions. For example, the possession and use of less than 10grams of marijuana has been legal for five years in Maryland. Consequently, the officers needed probable cause to suspect that Pacheco had more than 10grams before they could legally search him or his vehicle. This wasn’t available in this case, the judges observed.

The judges also pointed out that the circumstances that can warrant the search of a car may not be sufficient for the police to conduct a body search. This is because someone’s body enjoys a higher expectation of privacy when compared to when that person is in a vehicle.

Another judge on the panel that overturned Pacheco’s conviction noted that their ruling was limited in nature. He explained that driving under the influence of marijuana is a big concern and this ruling shouldn’t be interpreted to mean that the police cannot arrest an individual that they find sitting in the driver’s seat of a car in which there is no other occupant and that individual is smoking marijuana. In such a case, the police may pick interest in that individual under the presumption that he or she may drive under the influence.

Analysts think that this ruling will be welcomed by the marijuana industry fraternity, including participants like Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) and SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING). Similar rulings are likely to be made in jurisdictions where marijuana is legal.

420 with CNW – New Zealand Study Concludes Teens Are Losing Interest in Marijuana

August 20, 2019 15:20:34

A study whose findings were published in the New Zealand Medical Journal on Friday suggests that marijuana use among high school students is exhibiting a downward trend. This study comes to the same conclusion as another study that was conducted in the U.S.

According to the New Zealand study, the proportion of high school students who admitted that they tried using marijuana dropped to 23 percent in 2012 from the 38 percent recorded in 2001. The proportion of students who admitted to using marijuana on a weekly basis also reduced from approximately 6 percent in 2001 to 3.1 percent in the figures for 2012.

The data used to arrive at these findings was taken from a total of 2,000 national surveys done in 2001, 2007 and 2012.

Jude Ball, the lead author of the study, admitted that while his team’s findings were five years old, they were still a valuable indicator of teen behavior with regard to marijuana use.

Brad Olsen, a 22-year old New Zealander, talked about his age cohort in response to questions about marijuana use among teens and young adults. Olsen revealed that social media has increased teens’ awareness about different global issues, such as alcohol and drugs. This has made young people to become more careful regarding what they do, and most had resorted to seeking out better experiences (travel and concerts, for example).

Olsen’s views seem to hold water given how often posts and images about travel show up on the social media accounts of teens and young adults.

It is also possible that as people start joining the workforce earlier in life, their priorities change and they are less inclined to get involved in risky behavior that can jeopardize their day-to-day pursuits.

The findings of this study in New Zealand have come at a critical time when the country is gearing up to vote (during the 2020 general election) on whether recreational marijuana should be legalized in the country.

The study findings almost mirror the results of a similar study that was conducted this year in the U.S. The researchers found that there was an 8 percent reduction in the number of high school students who use marijuana ever since the drug was legalized for medical use.

The authors of that study concluded that there was no proof to show that when marijuana is legalized, more teens use the drug.

Analysts believe that industry players like Neutra Corp. (OTCQB: NTRR) and Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX.V: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI) may feel vindicated by these research findings since the industry has always insisted that legalizing marijuana doesn’t trigger a rise in teen use of the substance.

420 with CNW – Canadian Startup Makes Headway in Developing Marijuana Breathalyzer for US Police

August 20, 2019 03:20:17

Y-Combinator, a startup accelerator based in California, has picked interest in an Ontario-based startup which is developing a breathalyzer that can detect both alcohol and marijuana on the breath of drivers. Y-Combinator is known for having worked with Airbnb, Dropbox and Reddit, so the Canadian startup should be given ample attention if it has caught the eye of this startup accelerator.

SannTek Labs Inc. is the company behind the breathalyzer. This company was founded by two engineering graduate students at the University of Waterloo. The duo plan to develop a testing device which is more robust, more accurate and less invasive than what is currently available on the market. The current THC testing equipment on the market requires a saliva or blood sample.

According to survey data released by Statistics Canada, the Canadian federal government agency responsible for collecting data, approximately 1.4 million Canadian residents in 2018 reported that they had ever travelled in a car driven by someone who had used cannabis within the previous two hours. Such statistics underscore how important roadside marijuana testing equipment is, and the nanotechnology-driven SannTek 315 breathalyzer is an answer to that need.

However, the authorities have to contend with the reality that while it is easy to detect alcohol, marijuana presents numerous challenges since it is fat-soluble. The THC in marijuana may remain in someone’s muscle tissues without that individual showing any sign that they are intoxicated by the drug.

Consequently, it is harder to prove cannabis intoxication when compared to proving that someone is intoxicated/impaired by alcohol.

This is where the SannTek 315 device comes in. The makers of this device claim that their invention has the capability of making an accurate determination of how much THC a person consumed within the past 3-4 hours. Based on these findings, the police can decide whether the person can be prosecuted or not.

This claim may be questionable, given that the scientific community is yet to agree on how much THC can impair a person. To compound matters further, tolerance levels vary, so what can impair one person may not have any effect on another person who uses marijuana more regularly or heavily.

Nevertheless, the innovators at SannTek Labs Inc. hope that their device will attract the attention (and money) of police departments in the U.S. For that to happen, the U.S. NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) has to first test and approve the products for use. Each device is estimated to cost between $800 and $1,000 although the products aren’t on sale as yet.

Industry watchers are of the view that the cannabis industry, including actors like MustGrow Biologics Corp. (CSE: MGRO) and Nabis Holdings (CSE: NAB) (OTC: NABIF) (FRA: 71P), may be looking to innovators like the ones at SannTek Labs Inc. for solutions to some of the nagging questions about cannabis use by drivers.

420 with CNW – Marijuana Legalization Takes a Step Forward in South Dakota

August 19, 2019 15:20:06

South Dakota is one of the few states in the U.S. that hasn’t legalized marijuana for either recreational or medicinal use. However, this may change if the recent flurry of activity to certify legalization measures eventually bears fruit on voting day in 2020. One particular ballot measure has recently earned an official explanation written by the state’s attorney general.

This measure is a rather ambitious one because it seeks to legalize medical marijuana, recreational marijuana and industrial hemp, all in one fell swoop.

The recreational use of marijuana would be legalized through an amendment to the state constitution while the state legislature would be mandated to debate and pass laws regulating medical marijuana and hemp.

In his explanation of the measure, Jason Ravnsborg, the South Dakota Attorney General, wrote that the measure seeks to legalize the use, possession, transport and distribution of cannabis by adults who are 21 years old or older. He added that cannabis plants and products produced from those plants may also be permitted under clearly defined circumstances.

Additionally, the department of revenue in the state would issue licenses to businesses that wished to cultivate, manufacture, test or distribute marijuana. Local authorities may opt out of allowing marijuana businesses to operate within their jurisdictions, according to the ballot initiative.

The AG’s explanation also emphasizes that the marijuana measure doesn’t make industrial hemp legal. Hemp can only be legalized once the legislature enacts an enabling law.

The initiative proposes that an excise tax of 15 percent should be levied on all sales of marijuana. This revenue will be used to fund the activities related to regulating the marijuana industry, and what remains will go to education and the general fund from which other state activities or programs are funded.

This explanation is similar to the one that the AG issued with respect to another proposed amendment to legalize medical cannabis in South Dakota.

The attorney general’s office also revealed that a few more measures are awaiting certification by his office. For any of those measures to make it onto the state ballot, the activists behind it must gather at least 33,921 verifiable signatures from voters in the state.

For now, it isn’t yet clear whether the campaigners will rally around one initiative rather than each group of advocates going it alone. Industry experts believe that it would be in the interest of the entire cannabis industry, including players like Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) and Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA), to combine forces and promote one initiative so that the chances of success can be increased in this largely conservative state.

The Wild West Crypto Show Tracks the Alt Currency Roller Coaster

August 19, 2019 12:42:23

It’s been another wild week in crypto land as news came out about bitcoin’s rising dominance. During episode 72 of The Wild West Crypto Show, hosts Drew Taylor and Brent Bates seemed breathless from tracking bitcoin’s roller-coaster ride. Titled ‘Bitcoin Dominance Reaches 70 Percent’, the segment discussed how, once again, the cryptocurrency has fallen below the psychological $10,000 mark. Together with the decline in other major alts, including Ethereum, Ripple’s XRP and Litecoin, this has erased some $20 billion in value from crypto investor portfolios.

While the cryptocurrency market may be in the doldrums, bitcoin dominance – a measure of how much of the total crypto-market cap is comprised of bitcoin – has risen to…

420 with CNW – Female Legislators from Across the US Hold Marijuana Conference in Colorado

August 19, 2019 03:20:22

A total of thirty female state legislators from across the country have converged in Denver, Colorado to attend a marijuana policy summit. This summit is organized by the National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL).

The female lawmakers who attend this event will learn about the way in which marijuana laws have been evolving, how the industry is licensed and taxed, the available science on the public health concerns regarding marijuana, and many other topics.

The participants in this summit will also be given an opportunity to tour a facility where marijuana is dispensed so that the lawmakers can witness the process and interact with the people working at that dispensary.

The website of the event states that NFWL is bringing together female lawmakers from states where cannabis is already legal or is in the process of being legalized so that the legislators can learn from one another. This two-day summit ends today and we shall be bringing you the details of what transpired.

Nine foundation members are scheduled to address the summit. The most notable of this group includes Rep. Kimberly Dudik (D) from Montana who is planning to contest to become the attorney general of the state. Others are Sen. Donna Kim (D) from Hawaii, Rep. Lois Landgraf (R) from Colorado and Rep. Karen Camper (D) from Tennessee.

In total, eight marijuana panels are planned for the event. The first panel will focus on the marijuana policies in different states, starting with Colorado which legalized marijuana first. The policies of the states that legalized later on will also be discussed to give the summit its proper legal context.

The second panel will focus on commercial marijuana operations. Here, the different marijuana products and their potency will be discussed, followed by an overview of the different categories into which these products are bunched together for licensing purposes. Other licenses in the industry will also be covered.

Another panel will look at marijuana and human health. The focus of this particular panel discussion will be on CBD and the need for clinical trials to be done so that more information can be availed regarding the potential of this compound. There will be a discussion of how the healthcare system is working in the wake of the marijuana industry.

Another panel at the summit will look at the importance of public safety. Here, the experience of cannabis legalization in Colorado will be looked at as a case study of the different law enforcement challenges that emerged after legalization and the lessons learned from the expected and unexpected public health consequences of marijuana legalization.

In short, the panels will cover the entire gamut of issues connected to marijuana legalization so that participants can leave when they are better equipped to make the right decisions when these issues come up for debate in their jurisdictions.

Experts are convinced that summits like this one held in Colorado are good news to industry players like Hemptown USA and IONIC Brands Corp. (CSE: IONC) (OTC: IONKF) because the events normalize conversations about marijuana and result in rational decisions about the substance.

420 with CNW – NIDA Unveils Cannabis Research Priority List

August 16, 2019 15:20:26

In a notice that was published on Wednesday, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) provided a list of the areas that it considers a priority for marijuana research to focus on. These research objectives show that the federal government is taking note of the increasing levels of success that are being registered by advocates who want to see U.S. marijuana law reform.

NIDA observes that the pace at which marijuana policy reform is taking place outpaces the rate at which knowledge is becoming available to help countries around the world to ascertain how the public health effects of the marijuana policy changes can be assessed.

When the list of 13 priorities is analyzed, it is apparent that the federal agency has decided to be broad-minded as it seeks to understand the wave of cannabis legalization across the country. For example, the agency doesn’t just want to know what effects cannabis has, but also wants to learn why people take to medical marijuana and continue using it.

Some of the other objectives listed in the notice of special interest include developing standards that can be followed while measuring the dosage, impairment and intoxication by cannabis.

Another objective seeks to understand how using marijuana alongside or in substitution of other substances, such as alcohol, prescription and non-prescription drugs, tobacco affects health outcomes. The NIDA notice calls this “polysubstance use.”

The federal agency also wants to know how marijuana industry practices, such as marketing, taxes and product prices impact the health outcomes of cannabis use. From this research objective, one can read that NIDA wants to find out whether cannabis industry players are doing anything to make access to marijuana easier, and whether anything can be done (through taxes, for example) to make the drug less accessible.

Of interest to NIDA are the different policies and systems under which marijuana distribution is done in various jurisdictions across the U.S. Which combination of policies and practices offers the best ways to minimize the potential harms of marijuana to the public?

The recent months have seen a number of federal agencies publish notices of marijuana research funding opportunities. In fact, in May this year NIDA advertised a position which to all intents and purposes required someone who would prepare and analyze cannabis rolls/joints for research purposes.

Industry watchers believe that marijuana industry actors like Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) and Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN)  will view this newly published notice authored by NIDA as a sign that the federal government may be considering how to reform its marijuana policies without taking too many chances on matters of public health.

420 with CNW – Illinois Governor Signs Two Bills Expanding Medical Marijuana Program

August 16, 2019 03:20:53

As another sign of his pledge to make marijuana accessible to Illinois residents, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed two more bills on Monday expanding the medical marijuana program of the state. He stated that the signing ceremony was a message to all medical marijuana users in the state that the state government was on their side.

Senate Bill 2023 was intended to make the medical marijuana program permanent in Illinois. Under the law which legalized medical marijuana back in 2013, the program was transitional and had been given a lifespan of four years.

This particular bill also added 11 conditions to the list of qualifying conditions for which patients can get a recommendation from a doctor to use medical marijuana. The additional conditions include migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pain, polycystic kidney disease and several other conditions.

Starting in January next year, patients on the medical marijuana program will also be allowed to grow a maximum of five cannabis plants. These plants should be in locked areas that are far from public view.

As soon as Senate Bill 2023 was signed, physicians’ assistants and nurse practitioners were allowed to start certifying patients who wished to enroll on the medical marijuana program.

Senate Bill 455 was also signed on Monday. Under this law, kids who are registered to use medical cannabis can now starting getting their treatment on school premises as long as the administration of the medical marijuana is supervised by a member of staff at the school.

The bill also emphasizes that no one who hasn’t attained the age of 21 will be allowed to legally buy marijuana that can be smoked.

The medical marijuana program has seen many modifications from the original program of 2013 which was variously described as too restrictive. For example, under that law, patients had to get a written recommendation from a doctor before being certified to use medical marijuana and they could only buy 2.5 ounces every fortnight. The patients also had to make a pledge that they would never use medical marijuana in the presence of kids or in public. The number of qualifying conditions was also smaller, but most of these restrictions have gradually been eased.

Additionally, the state instituted an Opioid Alternative Pilot Program in February. Under this program, Illinois residents who have opioid abuse problems can have an accelerated path to temporary access to medical cannabis.

As the country counts down to next year when recreational marijuana will become available to residents, experts believe that marijuana industry participants like Golden Developing Solutions Inc. (OTC: DVLP) and Grapefruit Boulevard Investments Inc. (OTCQB: IGNG) are pleased by the progressive way in which matters of the cannabis industry are being handled in Illinois.

420 with CNW – Outside Lands Makes News as First US Festival to Sell Weed On-Site

August 15, 2019 15:20:15

Last weekend saw festival-goers in Northern California treated to the first ever major festival to sell marijuana on-site. This happened during the Outside Lands music festival which was held between August 9 and 11 in San Francisco at the Golden Gate Park.

The event had a cordoned-off area called Grass Lands where marijuana and music lovers were delighted to learn that they could buy different marijuana products. More than 20 cannabis vendors were in this section of the festival grounds to serve customers.

While consuming marijuana in public is still illegal in California, the Outside Lands music festival provided a rare opportunity for people to buy and consume pre-rolled joints, marijuana-infused chocolates and other products. People who wanted to smoke their weed could do so in a clearly marked smoking area.

The Outside Lands festival was also notable because it had another first for California. State law doesn’t permit the sale of weed and alcohol within the same venue, but festival attendees could enjoy both. The only restriction was that no one was allowed to enter Grass Lands with an alcoholic beverage, but alcohol was abundant in the other sections of the festival venue.

Grass Lands made its first appearance at the Outside Lands festival last year. During its maiden appearance, only educational materials were available for festival-goers to learn about marijuana and its numerous benefits.

This year, the organizers of Grass Lands had to wait until August 7 when the San Francisco Office of Cannabis finally approved the application for on-site sale of marijuana during the festival. This approval came just two days before the Outside Lands festival was due to start.

The people who attended the festival were allowed to buy a maximum of 2grams of marijuana concentrates while those who wanted cannabis flower could only buy up to 7grams of pot.

Many of the vendors at Grass Lands, such as Kiva Confections and NUG, revealed that their objective in taking part during this year’s Outside Lands festival was to help in making conversations about cannabis and its use normal in society.

As the first event at which cannabis has been sold and consumed in the state, this year’s Outside Lands could be a pointer of what is yet to come for the cannabis industry.

It is widely believed that the entire cannabis industry, including participants like Earth Science Tech Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and Geyser Brands Inc. (TSX.V: GYSR), applauded the success of this festival because other jurisdictions could borrow a leaf and ease up on the consumption of marijuana during outdoor events.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Predictive Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) Subsidiary Partners with UPMC to Develop AI-Powered Method to Treat Ovarian Cancer

August 15, 2019 14:18:36

Predictive Oncology’s (NASDAQ: POAI) subsidiary Helomics in July announced a joint collaborative agreement with the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (“UPMC”) to study the use of Helomics’ artificial intelligence (“AI”) platform (D-CHIP)(TM) to improve clinical decision making for ovarian cancer patients. The platform will be employed to analyze the genomic and drug response profiles of women with ovarian cancer to establish predictive value in terms of response or non-response to therapy. UPMC Enterprises, the commercialization and innovation arm of UPMC, will fund the work performed under the collaboration. “Helomics has pioneered the testing of drugs on patients’ own tumors to help oncologists individualize treatment options — what we call functional precision medicine. We believe that by linking both the drug response profile and the genomic profile of the patient’s tumor using a machine learning approach, we can provide ‘multi-omic’ predictive models that will have greater decision-making impact than just genomics alone, which in turn will positively benefit oncologists and their patients,” Helomics chief innovation officer Dr. Mark Collins stated in the news release. “Working alongside both UPMC Enterprises and UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital provides us with the unique opportunity to potentially make a direct impact on how medicine is practiced at one of the leading women’s medical facilities in the country. We look forward to discussing our findings with both the medical community and our stockholders as they develop.”

About Predictive Oncology Inc.

Predictive Oncology (formerly Precision Therapeutics Inc.) operates through its three business units, Helomics, TumorGenesis and Skyline Medical. Helomics applies artificial intelligence to its rich data gathered from patient tumors to both personalize cancer therapies for patients and drive the development of new targeted therapies in collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. Helomics’ CLIA-certified lab provides clinical testing that assists oncologists in individualizing patient treatment decisions by providing an evidence-based roadmap for therapy. In addition to its proprietary precision oncology platform, Helomics offers boutique CRO services that leverage its TruTumor(TM), patient-derived tumor models coupled to a wide range of multi-omics assays (genomics, proteomics and biochemical), and an AI-powered proprietary bioinformatics platform (D-CHIP) to provide a tailored solution to its clients’ specific needs. Predictive Oncology’s TumorGenesis subsidiary is developing a new rapid approach to growing tumors in the laboratory, which essentially “fools” cancer cells into thinking they are still growing inside a patient. Its proprietary Oncology Discovery Technology Platform kits will assist researchers and clinicians to identify which cancer cells bind to specific biomarkers. Once the biomarkers are identified they can be used in TumorGenesis’ Oncology Capture Technology Platforms which isolate and help categorize an individual patient’s heterogeneous tumor samples to enable the development of patient specific treatment options. Helomics and TumorGenesis are focused on ovarian cancer. Predictive Oncology’s Skyline Medical division markets its patented and FDA cleared STREAMWAY System, which automates the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluid, including blood, irrigation fluid and others, within a medical facility, through both domestic and international divisions. The company has achieved sales in five of the seven continents through both direct sales and distributor partners. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Predictive-Oncology.net.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Pressure BioSciences Inc. (PBIO) Releases Q2 2019 Financial Results, Provides Business Update

August 15, 2019 11:09:16

Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based technology and products to the worldwide life sciences and other industries, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, provided a business update, and offered guidance for the remainder of the fiscal year and for FY 2020. In the update, the company reported 2019 second quarter highlights that include record consumables sales, strong growth in BaroFold and UST Services, and launch of a revolutionary CBD processing system. “Because of the poor water solubility of today’s oil-based CBD products, most ingested CBD is flushed from the body, leaving little of the product to provide its beneficial properties,” Pressure BioSciences President and CEO Richard T. Schumacher said in the news release. “After much diligence and analysis, we concluded that we have the expertise and experience to successfully address this critical issue. Consequently, we pulled significant hours away from many of our staff over the past few months and had them focus on the development of an instrument system – based on our patented UST platform – that would increase the water-solubility, and thus the absorption, of CBD Oil. We succeeded; the result of that success is the BaroShear K45 processing system.”

About Pressure BioSciences Inc.

Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO) is a leader in the development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based solutions for the worldwide life-sciences industry. The company’s products are based on the unique properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure cycling technology, or “PCT”) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented-enabling technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to safely and reproducibly control biomolecular interactions (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). PBIO’s primary focus is in the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and quality control, soil and plant biology, forensics and counter-bioterror applications. Additionally, major new market opportunities have emerged in the use of the company’s pressure-based technologies in the following areas: (1) the use of its recently acquired PreEMT technology from BaroFold Inc. to allow entry into the biologics-contract, research-services sector, and (2) the use of its recently patented, scalable, high-efficiency, pressure-based Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) platform to (i) create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water) and (ii) prepare higher-quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room-temperature stable, low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing nonthermal technologies.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Grapefruit Boulevard Investments Inc. (IGNG) Files Quarterly Report; Seeks Company Name & Ticker Change

August 15, 2019 08:35:59

California-based Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, a wholly owned subsidiary of Imaging3 (OTCQB: IGNG), this morning announced that it filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 14, 2019. The report did not show any of the financial results of Grapefruit’s operations due to the delayed final closing of the reverse acquisition of IGNG by Grapefruit which took place after the end of the second quarter. The operational results of Grapefruit will be reflected in the company’s Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements included in both its “Super 8-K” filing and the first amendment to its registration statement on Form S-1, both of which are anticipated to be filed with the SEC in mid-September. IGNG’s third quarter report on Form 10-Q will be filed on or before November 14, 2019 and will be the consolidated companies’ first joint periodic report. Additionally, on Tuesday August 13, 2019, the company reapplied to OTCMarkets to uphold its OTCQB listing. Grapefruit also notified the OTCMarkets staff that it will be applying to FINRA to change the Delaware parent company’s name from Imaging3, Inc. to Grapefruit USA, Inc. and will be seeking a ticker symbol change to “GUSA”, “GRAP” or “GRPE”. The company plans to apply for FINRA approval of these corporate actions next week. “We believe this corporate name and ticker symbol change will greatly accelerate establishment of our own identity as we decisively disassociate Grapefruit from the company’s past. We also believe the new corporate name and ticker symbol chosen will operate with powerful synergy to fuse our brand name with our corporate identity as many great American Companies have done prior to us. Grapefruit’s launch is upon us,” Grapefruit Boulevard Investments CEO Bradley J. Yourist stated in the news release.

Helomics applies artificial intelligence to its rich data gathered from patient tumors to both personalize cancer therapies for patients and drive the development of new targeted therapies in collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. Helomics’ CLIA-certified lab provides clinical testing that assists oncologists in individualizing patient treatment decisions by providing an evidence-based roadmap for therapy. In addition to its proprietary precision oncology platform, Helomics offers boutique CRO services that leverage its TruTumor(TM), patient-derived tumor models coupled to a wide range of multi-omics assays (genomics, proteomics and biochemical), and an AI-powered proprietary bioinformatics platform (D-CHIP) to provide a tailored solution to its clients’ specific needs. Predictive Oncology’s TumorGenesis subsidiary is developing a new rapid approach to growing tumors in the laboratory, which essentially “fools” cancer cells into thinking they are still growing inside a patient. Its proprietary Oncology Discovery Technology Platform kits will assist researchers and clinicians to identify which cancer cells bind to specific biomarkers. Once the biomarkers are identified they can be used in TumorGenesis’ Oncology Capture Technology Platforms which isolate and help categorize an individual patient’s heterogeneous tumor samples to enable the development of patient specific treatment options. Helomics and TumorGenesis are focused on ovarian cancer. Predictive Oncology’s Skyline Medical division markets its patented and FDA cleared STREAMWAY System, which automates the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluid, including blood, irrigation fluid and others, within a medical facility, through both domestic and international divisions. The company has achieved sales in five of the seven continents through both direct sales and distributor partners. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.PredictiveOncology.net.

420 with CNW – The American Bar Association Asks Congress to Pass Legislation Allowing States to Enact Their Own Cannabis Laws

August 15, 2019 03:20:13

The American Bar Association-ABA passed a resolution on Monday calling on Congress to let states pass and implement their own marijuana laws. The resolution also wants marijuana to be rescheduled or descheduled by the federal government.

This resolution was adopted during this year’s annual general meeting of the ABA held in San Francisco. While the proponents of the resolution waived their time to talk about that resolution, the resolution was passed without any audible opposition to it.

The ABA emphasized that it didn’t favor or disagree with marijuana legalization, but their chief concern was the untenable contradictions between the federal marijuana laws and the marijuana policies of the states that have opted to legalize the drug for medical and/or recreational use.

The members specifically refer to the complications that state-legal marijuana businesses face on a daily basis, such as being targets because of operating in cash alone. The companies also pay very high federal taxes since the tax-deductible expenses that other businesses enjoy aren’t applicable to marijuana businesses.

The association of 411,000 members therefore urged Congress to pass a law that exempts any marijuana cultivation, processing, manufacture, distribution, and use from the Controlled Substances Act as long as such activity complies with state law.

The resolution of ABA also points out that the spending riders and the guidance memos written by the Department of Justice are not enough to address the regulatory uncertainty. For example, the spending riders have to be revisited each year, and it isn’t clear for how long they will keep being approved. A clear example is the uncertainty surrounding the spending rider covering recreational marijuana. The marijuana industry doesn’t know whether the Senate will endorse that DOJ spending rider, so uncertainty remains.

The American Bar Association also wants the federal government to support marijuana research so that states and the federal government make science-based decisions on the drug. ABA points out that while the DEA called for applications from organizations and companies which could provide research-grade marijuana, no action has been taken three years after the applications were submitted.

The resolution indicates that while the body of knowledge about marijuana, such as its medicinal properties, has grown from the time marijuana was placed in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), no step has been taken to adjust the scheduling of the drug and yet other substances, such as alcohol, have been removed. Consequently, the revision of the scheduling of marijuana is overdue, according to the ABA.

Analysts are convinced that industry players like Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE: CHM) (OTCQB: CHMJF) and ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) fully agree with the resolution passed by the American Bar Association, but they also wonder how long it will take lawmakers to finally act on this matter.

420 with CNW – Using Medical Marijuana in Florida Could Affect Gun Ownership

August 14, 2019 15:20:59

As more patients get certified to use medical marijuana in Florida, it has come to light that their use of this particular drug could prevent them from purchasing a gun if they declared that they use state-legal marijuana. This reality also applies to medical and recreational marijuana users in states where such use is legal.

When someone goes to buy a gun, he or she is required to fill ATF Form 4473. This form captures all the relevant records pertaining to the firearm you wish to purchase, including details about the buyer.

Section 11e of that form clearly stipulates that the use of marijuana remains a federal crime even if states have legalized the drug. In short, even if medical cannabis is legal in Florida, that legality is of no consequence during the purchase of firearms.

For now, many people may not yet be aware of the implication of using medical marijuana and its effects on gun ownership, but lawyers warn that people will start taking notice or being upset if their applications to buy guns are rejected or when they face criminal charges related to owning a gun when one is a user of marijuana.

However, Craig Kailimai, the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the ATF office in Tampa, Florida says that it is unlikely that the federal government could prosecute gun owners who use medical marijuana in Florida unless the law enforcement agencies can prove that the individual poses a real threat of violence.

Kailimai is quick to add that while charges may not be instituted, it remains a crime to buy a gun if you are a user of marijuana. But, the ATF and the federal government will only pick interest in a marijuana user who conforms to state marijuana laws if such a user becomes violent or reveals violent tendencies.

Unless federal marijuana laws change, people who wish to act in accordance with the strict spirit and letter of the law could be faced with a difficult choice between taking the medical marijuana that they need to deal with their health condition, or to buy and own a firearm.

Analysts believe that marijuana industry players like Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB: NUGS) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) could be citing such contradictions between federal and state laws as they campaign for marijuana law reforms at the federal level. No one should have to choose between using medical marijuana and giving up his or her right to own a firearm in the U.S.

Trxade Group Inc. (TRXD) Helps Keep Community Mom and Pop Pharmacies Competitive Amid Health Services Industry Titans

August 14, 2019 11:03:48
  • Trxade Group helps sustain independent pharmacies through its web-based purchasing platform, network of locally run pharmacies, data analytics and delivery services
  • Independent pharmacists often find themselves at the forefront of the battle over health care costs, working to stay afloat as drug costs rise and insurer reimbursements fall
  • The value of independent pharmacies lies in the sense of community that they have helped instill for decades among their patients, and, as the small businesses close their doors, they leave behind ‘pharmacy deserts’ bereft of close-to-home services
  • Trxade Group reported record revenues of over $1.9 million in its second quarter filing through its services in support of independent pharmacies; its network of such pharmacies continues to grow

Independent, locally operated pharmacies have long been one of the most familiar ways of defining a community’s lifestyle. While their heyday may be decades in the past – an era when teens and adults alike sat on bar stools listening to the jukebox while sipping a soda or enjoying some ice cream – many small business entrepreneurs continue to stubbornly define their pride in their local neighborhoods by the traffic that comes through the family-owned pharmacies’ front doors.
