420 with CNW – Craft Medical Cannabis Growers Form Co-op in British Columbia

January 31, 2019 04:20:58

Small medical cannabis growers and producers in the Canadian province of British Columbia are coming together to form a co-op in order to bridge the supply gap. This co-op venture will be incorporated at the provincial level instead of seeking national incorporation.

This undertaking involves a partnership with Victory Square Technologies and Grow Tech Labs. The supply shortages that have plagued the Canadian recreational cannabis market prompted the initiators of this co-op to take action.

The company will be called the British Columbia Small Cannabis Producer and Processor Co-op. This is intended to reflect the character of the province as a leader in the cannabis industry both nationally and internationally.

Barinder Rasode, the CEO of this new company, revealed during its launch that the entire province and the cannabis industry will benefit greatly if small producers and processors come together to continue making a contribution in the industry.

Rasode added that once these small players combine their capacity, they have the potential to become a formidable player in the cannabis industry not just in Canada but globally.

The new company is calling on small producers to send them an email expressing interest to join this new group and to get additional information about this new entity.

The co-founder and CEO of Victory Square Technologies (Shafin Diamond) remarked that he was excited to see that micro-growers of medical cannabis were coming forward to take part in the co-operative.

It is not clear whether the desire to combine forces wasn’t driven by a survival instinct. As the cannabis industry has grown, large scale operations have increasingly taken an upper hand due to their economies of scale that lower the cost of producing each unit of cannabis.

While production costs are being driven downwards, the cannabis market hasn’t sufficiently segmented (as yet) in order to sustain the niche growers and producers. Consequently, the small growers and producers may have felt some pressure on their profit margins as the large producers brought more products to the market at lower rates.

This pressure could be the reason why the initiators of the co-op decided that they should either combine forces or fold. Such a factor may explain why Grow Tech Labs and Victory Square Technologies were brought on board to provide a way to standardize the products from the small growers and producers.

If that is the case, then that is a positive step forward since the entire industry, including Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) and Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG), would want every entity that can chip in to do so in order to nurture this nascent industry.

420 with CNW – What is CBD, and what is its Relationship with THC?

January 30, 2019 16:20:53

People who have heard about CBD-infused drinks, cosmetics and pet food may be wondering why that cannabis extract isn’t attracting as much polarized attention as THC. Read on and learn everything that you need to know about CBD and THC, and why CBD is gaining in popularity in nearly every industry.

A Brief Primer on Cannabinoids…

The cannabis plant has more than 100 different compounds within it. These are called cannabinoids and terpenes, so you should therefore not imagine that the cannabis plant has only two compounds. However, two of the most abundant cannabinoids in the cannabis plant are CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid that makes cannabis consumers “high” while CBD isn’t psychoactive.

Marijuana vs. Hemp?

Cannabis is a general term used to refer to a family of plants that have similar compounds (cannabinoids). Marijuana and hemp are therefore members of the same family.

However, hemp has a very small amount of THC in it. The U.S. federal government describes a given plant in the cannabis family as hemp if that plant has less than 0.3 percent concentration of THC. By the same token, marijuana is the other member of the cannabis family that has THC levels that are higher than the threshold for the hemp plant.

Remember, “hemp” and “marijuana” are arbitrary terms given to the same plant only that the level of THC determines which of those two words you will use to refer to the plant you are looking at.

Why is CBD Readily Available Yet Marijuana is Illegal?

As already mentioned, CBD is one of the non-psychoactive compounds found in the cannabis plant. This cannabinoid has several medicinal properties, such as anxiety, pain and insomnia relief.

Recently, President Trump signed into law the Farm Bill of 2018 and this law changed the legal status of hemp to an agricultural product (just like soy, corn or any other plant). Consequently, extracting CBD oil from hemp doesn’t break any U.S. law.

In contrast, marijuana is a Schedule 1 controlled substance that is illegal at the federal level. However, dozens of states have legalized medical marijuana and nearly a dozen have legalized adult-use marijuana.

The laws and attitudes surrounding marijuana haven’t affected the reputation of CBD and that is why it is widely available.

Do Consumers of CBD Face Any Safety Risks?

Interestingly, nearly all the literature available on CBD says that it is safe for consumption. However, little is known about how this compound may interact with other substances, such as conventional medications, in the body.

Additionally, CBD extracts haven’t been used for a long enough time to assess their effects on pregnant women and their unborn babies. Caution is therefore recommended for people in high-risk categories (expectant mothers and babies, for example).

As you can see, CBD seems set to continue on its forward march now that hemp is an agricultural product that can be widely cultivated for various purposes. Cannabis industry players like Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) and Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) would like to see a time when marijuana is accepted the way hemp is now accepted.

NetworkNewsBreaks – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Advances Irgon Lithium Mine Project Toward Mining Production

January 30, 2019 13:48:48

QMC Quantum Minerals (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) is currently anticipating the completion of an updated NI 43–101 resource report on its Irgon Lithium Mine Project, in which the company holds a 100 percent undivided interest. An article discussing the company reads, “QMC’s efforts to supply a domestic source of lithium have focused on previously explored but underdeveloped hard rock mineral sites in southern Canada. Historically, North America’s hard rock miners dominated the lithium industry until the 1980s by extracting the white metal from the mineral spodumene, which, as a lithium aluminum inosilicate, is a source of lithium and is often found in large quantities. South American nations hosting the famed ‘Lithium Triangle’ gained market dominance with their more economical lithium brine evaporation ponds as the price of the white metal fell, but companies such as QMC assert that the hard rock mining process is ultimately more reliable and faster to bring into production once the initial exploratory work has been completed. . . . QMC has invested over two years into its vision for its Manitoba property, known as the Irgon Lithium Mine Project, stating that, typically, hard rock projects take three to five years to commence production. The company is anticipating the completion of an updated NI 43–101 resource report on the Irgon Project, in which it holds a 100 percent undivided interest.”

NetworkNewsBreaks – First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Provides Update on Refinery Material Testing Progress

January 30, 2019 09:26:37

First Cobalt (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (ASX: FCC), a North American pure-play cobalt company, this morning reported interim results from ongoing testing of cobalt hydroxide material as potential feedstock for its First Cobalt Refinery in Ontario, Canada. According to the update, the preliminary testing demonstrated that 98% of cobalt effectively leached from cobalt hydroxide material with solvent extraction processes used to further remove deleterious elements. Additionally, cobalt extraction tests are underway and will be followed by sulphate crystallization to produce cobalt sulphate. Results are anticipated by the end of the quarter. “Today’s results give us further confidence that the First Cobalt Refinery flowsheet can produce cobalt to supply the North American market. Having achieved this milestone, we are driving ahead with the next phase of testing including the production of cobalt sulphate, which we expect to have completed before the end of the quarter. The lower price of cobalt hydroxide on the market today points to increased margin potential through upgrading readily available supply of cobalt intermediates. We continue to explore sources of non-equity capital to finance the recommissioning of the Refinery, which could provide cash to finance future work at our flagship Iron Creek Cobalt Project in Idaho, USA,” First Cobalt CEO Trent Mell stated in the news release.

420 with CNW – Cannabis College Starts Training Oklahomans to Work in Cannabis Dispensaries

January 30, 2019 04:20:05

People who would like to work in or own medical cannabis businesses in Oklahoma can now receive the training that they need to succeed. Hempstaff Dispensary Training, aka Cannabis College now organizes classes on different aspects of medical cannabis.

The organizers of these classes say that emphasis is placed on equipping attendees with information on the history, science and laws around medical cannabis so that one is ready to participate in this rapidly growing industry.

The company organizes two four-hour classes through which people get a thorough grounding in the major aspects needed by someone who wants to own or work in a cannabis dispensary.

Students who attended the first training sessions held last weekend say that they got more than they paid for because the content of the course was very rich. For example, the students were told why a patient can be given a particular strain of cannabis and not another for a given medical condition.

Such information is critical because the dispensary staff can help patients to make informed decisions when selecting products to buy. The medical cannabis space isn’t like conventional medicine in which a doctor diagnoses and gives a patient a specific prescription to alleviate his or her condition. Cannabis dispensary staff therefore play a crucial role in making it possible for patients to select what will be most beneficial for them.

Cannabis College decided that it would make its contribution in the medical cannabis space by preparing people to work in this industry. Leaving cannabis companies with the sole responsibility of training their staff is a bit risky, the organizers of the trainings added.

The trainers also say that they put emphasis on the current medical cannabis legislation and the likely changes that are bound to occur. This segment of the training is important because at the moment, Oklahoma is using emergency rules to regulate the medical cannabis industry. One should therefore understand the current legal regime and prepare for the changes that are coming as the industry evolves in the state.

Employers appreciate this training on the rules because an employee who doesn’t know all the applicable legal provisions can make a mistake that can cause regulators to close a dispensary and fine or incarcerate the owners.

The initiative taken by Cannabis College is appreciated by everyone in the cannabis industry, including Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN) and Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) because such efforts make the industry more beneficial to patients.

420 with CNW – Israeli Cabinet Approves Export of Marijuana Products

January 29, 2019 16:20:00

Toward the end of last year, we reported that the Israeli parliament had passed a bill permitting local companies to export medical marijuana. However, there were fears that the cabinet may wait until after elections before pronouncing itself on this matter. It turns out that those concerns were premature because the cabinet has given its approval and cannabis firms can start processing the necessary paperwork to sell medical cannabis abroad.

The cabinet’s decision leaned on the recommendations made by an inter-ministerial committee (finance and health ministries) that was tasked with studying the Act of parliament and then advise the cabinet on the matter.

The committee took note of the advanced research, technology and regulatory capabilities of the country as major advantages that would make Israeli medical cannabis competitive on the world market.

The worldwide medical cannabis market is growing rapidly from an estimated valuation of $8.3bn in 2017 to about $28bn by 2024. Medical cannabis exports would earn Israeli firms about $1.09bn each year.

The Ministry of Finance agreed to channel some of the money earned from cannabis exports to the Ministry of Health.

Currently, there are eight companies that grow medical cannabis in Israel. The approval of exports is good news to them because the domestic market wasn’t large enough to sustain these producers as well as those who are still queuing to get licenses.

Medical cannabis exports will be tightly regulated since cannabis is a drug that is subject to strict controls internationally. Israeli companies will get an export permit issued by the Ministry of Health and approved by the police. These companies will then export medical cannabis to other companies in Europe. Those companies should have also obtained permits to import medical cannabis.

Israel is likely to enjoy several advantages when compared to other countries, such as Canada, that export medical cannabis. For example, Israel is closer to most European markets when compared to its competitors.

Secondly, Israel is renowned for having very strict regulatory systems and its research capabilities are famous across the world. This makes Israeli medical cannabis exports to have a good reputation on the market when compared to other exporters whose domestic regulatory mechanisms aren’t so rigorous.

As you can see, different countries are positioning themselves to control a large share of the international medical cannabis market. The question is, when will the U.S. wake up and catch up with the other countries that are already active in the medical cannabis space? The sooner federal marijuana laws are reformed, the better for the U.S. cannabis industry. This speedy legal reform is what entities like Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP) and Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) have been hoping to see for years.

January 29, 2019 11:15:07

  • According to a CIBC World Markets report, the industry has many representatives but only a few possess what it takes to dominate the new global market

  • Based on these factors, The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings is shaping up as a leading entity to watch in 2019 and the years to come

As cannabis is rising to prominence, investors are turning their eyes to industry opportunities that have the best long-term potential. Currently, dozens of small and medium-sized businesses are generating moderate revenues, but only a few have what it takes to dominate the new global market, an Institutional Equity Research report by CIBC World Markets suggests.

Aziza Project LLC to Fund Hydrocarbon Exploration in 8,000 Square Mile Namibian Claim with “Security Tokens”

January 29, 2019 10:53:27
  • Aziza has acquired a 20 percent stake in a Namibian hydrocarbon claim worth $100 million
  • Hosting securitized tokenized investment fund to raise $60 million
  • Plans to undertake $45 million, 10-well drilling program by year-end 2019

Covering roughly 27 million square kilometers, or 10 million square miles (http://nnw.fm/SXsi2), sub-Saharan Africa is the last unexplored frontier in the hydrocarbon world. Compared to Northern Africa and the Middle East, exploration activity in the region has been paltry. In Namibia, lying on the Atlantic, for example, less than 20 wells have been sunk over the past 50 years. Yet, despite this neglect by the majors (http://nnw.fm/HGma5), “The drilling that has taken place to date has demonstrated beyond doubt that the region has the potential to become a new petroleum province, with all the indicators of hydrocarbons – from source-rock to structural traps – being confirmed.”

Now, Aziza Project LLC is hosting a tokenized investment fund to invest in oil and gas businesses operating in Southern Africa. It is offering an asset-backed security token, the Aziza Coin, which is…

NetworkNewsBreaks – Global Payout, Inc. (GOHE) and MTrac Gaining Serious Momentum with Proof of Concept, Increased Revenues and Rapid Expansion

January 29, 2019 10:48:12

Global Payout (OTC: GOHE) together with its wholly-owned subsidiary MTrac Tech Corporation this morning provided a shareholder progress update on the roll out of secure blockchain-backed payments platform, MTrac. Since its October launch, the platform has realized month over month increases in transactions, net revenue and average ticket prices. According to the update, the company’s research has reflected an average increase of 26 percent on ticket prices for customers using MTrac as compared to pre credit card acceptance. The company expects significant revenue increases to continue over the coming months through growing merchant adoption and system updates to streamline processes. MTrac boasts a 100 percent client retention rate and, by the end of February, intends to roll out the platform in four new states including Minnesota, New Jersey, Florida and Hawaii. “After working on the launch of this system for the last seven months we have become intimately familiar with the myriad of issues that plague the financial management of the cannabis industry,” MTrac CRO Aaron Adler stated in the news release. “But the more confidence we build in the industry the more momentum we gain, and that is really the most important aspect of our current marketing strategy. The truth is our system is far more than just a payments platform, the back-end functionality offers the ability to track and trace each and every dollar that moves through their business, which helps to relieve their banking relationships by moving them away from large cash deposits. We recently launched an API to integrate Point of Sale systems and we are currently in talks with several of the largest POS systems in the Cannabis industry, the first of which could be live as early as the end of this week. We are gaining serious momentum, and the last several months is only a glimpse of what is possible in 2019.”

420 with CNW – Legalization Changes How Canadians Talk to Kids about Cannabis

January 29, 2019 04:20:11

Recreational cannabis was legalized in Canada late last year and this has made parents to rethink how they talk to their kids about cannabis. This adjustment was prompted by the increasing visibility of marijuana in all walks of life.

SheCann founder, Ashleigh Brown, says that the cannabis “talk” should never be regarded as a one-time event. Instead, conversations about the substance should be conducted on an ongoing basis so that kids are empowered to make the right decisions when confronted by opportunities to use the substance.

Speaking in Toronto at a “Women and Weed” event last weekend, Brown said that kids are smart and constantly watch all those around them. It is therefore important that the conversations parents and adults have with kids regarding marijuana should be honest and authentic so that the kids can see a connection between what you are telling them and what they see around them.

Ashleigh Brown used her own experience as a case study. She revealed that she started using medical cannabis in 2016, so her two kids regarded the substance as nothing more than a medicine.

However, after the legalization of recreational cannabis, she started talking to her children about the different ways through which people can use cannabis. Such a discussion helps her kids to make sense of what is around them in case they come across cannabis on the streets or at the parties they attend.

Another participant at the “Women and Weed” event remarked that the way parents talk to kids about alcohol and smoking tobacco cigarettes should be the same way in which they talk about cannabis.

Avoiding such crucial conversations only fuels stigma about cannabis and may increase its appeal to kids, something that every parent would want to avoid.

The issue of discretion vs. hiding cannabis also came up during the discussion. It was okay to lock away one’s stash of cannabis to prevent kids from accessing it, but it wasn’t productive to try to hide the fact that you consume cannabis.

Parents should also educate their kids about the downsides of consuming cannabis, and also emphasize that more research is still being done to get a more detailed understanding of the full effects of cannabis on young users and adults.

Parents in the U.S. states where cannabis is legal can borrow a leaf from what their Canadian counterparts are doing in order to provide sufficient guidance to kids regarding this substance that is still attracting mixed reactions across the U.S. Cannabis industry players like Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL) and FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) would love to see such candid discussions everywhere so that any decisions made are based on concrete information rather than on misconceptions and myths.

420 with CNW – New Tax Plan Injects Life into New Jersey Marijuana Legalization Debate

January 28, 2019 16:20:22

A stalemate had developed between the Senate President and the Governor of New Jersey regarding how the marijuana industry will be taxed once an appropriate law is passed. However, a new plan has reignited the legalization debate and a compromise may be reached to move forward on this long-awaited matter.

Previously, Stephen Sweeney (the Senate President) had dug his heels in that he would not go along with any marijuana legalization law that set the tax rate at more than 12 percent. Meanwhile, the Governor (Phil Murphy) was adamant that the tax rate should be in the region of 25 percent.

The disagreement between these two influential leaders had driven the legalization debate to a standstill and there seemed to be no hope for a way out of that stalemate.

Now a new proposal to tax marijuana products by weight rather than by each item sold appears to be providing the much needed compromise between the two parties. While there are disagreements on various issues, the different opinions on tax matters were the biggest bone of contention between the lawmakers and the Governor.

Proponents of the new tax proposal see that plan as beneficial in two major ways. The first, as already mentioned, is to build consensus between the two sides on the tax rate.

Secondly, taxing marijuana by weight has the added long-term benefit of protecting the state’s tax revenue from the effects of marijuana price fluctuations.

You see, in states where marijuana taxes are based on the sales made (excise tax), falling marijuana prices have caused tax revenues to take a hit.

For example, Colorado reported in 2018 that marijuana prices had fallen by approximately 70 percent from what they were in 2014 when recreational cannabis was legalized.

Such a huge drop in prices can cause serious funding shortfalls for states where an excise duty is imposed on all marijuana products sold.

The plan to tax cannabis by weight shields the state from such tax income drops since the taxes collected will stay the same regardless of which trend marijuana prices take. As historical data shows, prices inevitably go down as more players enter the industry and new production methods cut costs for cultivators.

Taxing marijuana by weight may therefore be a masterstroke that gets legalization back on track while also ensuring that the state will have a sustainable source of revenue. Such win-win solutions are what everyone in the industry, including Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF), wants for all jurisdictions where marijuana is legalized.

NetworkNewsBreaks – American Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LI) (OTCQB: LIACF) (FSE: 5LA) Reports Positive Results from Preliminary Hydrometallurgical Tests on TLC Project Samples

January 28, 2019 15:28:36

American Lithium (TSXV: LI) (OTCQB: LIACF) (FSE: 5LA) recently reported that preliminary hydrometallurgical tests conducted on TLC project samples validate that lithium will successfully leach from the project area claystones with increased extraction relative to immersion time. The seven TLC samples were tested at America Assay Laboratory and processed using ICP-AEP protocols. The samples were leach tested with a mixed concentrate extraction, demonstrating a progressive rise in lithium extraction as the formulation strength and duration was increased. Further testing is being conducted to evaluate the consumption of chemicals and the relationship of solution formulation relative to Li extraction within a 24-hour period. Advanced phase column tests will begin when the initial curing process provides consistent data. “This news is very exciting. Our preliminary results from the TLC project validate what we are looking for in lithium projects; shallow deposits, high grade and low-cost extraction opportunities. In fact, test results indicated a greater percentage of leached output in higher grade samples which is really positive,” American Lithium CEO Mike Kobler stated in the news release.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Kontrol Energy Corp.’s (CSE: KNR) (FSE: 1K8) Smart-Energy Solutions Could Cut Cannabis Cultivation Costs

January 28, 2019 14:06:54

Ontario-based tech company Kontrol Energy (CSE: KNR) (FSE: 1K8) engages in the integration of smart-energy technologies and solutions to deliver energy cost savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions to both commercial and industrial properties. The company is utilizing this strategy to help companies cut costs in the booming cannabis industry. An article discussing the company reads, “Energy costs are a big part of the equation. Using traditional growing methods, it takes about 2,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity to produce a pound of cannabis product. That’s roughly the same energy consumption as an average household over a period of two to three months. To produce 1,000 pounds per annum would cost C$188,000 at the current mid-peak price of 9.4¢ per kWh — much, much more (C$264,000) at the on-peak price of 13.2¢ per kWh (http://nnw.fm/KQ9Hf). . . . However, Kontrol Energy is offering ways to cut those costs. In July 2018,  company announced that it was entering the North American cannabis market as a supplier of integrated energy efficiency solutions and technologies (http://nnw.fm/zMM9i ). Through its operating subsidiaries and its most recent energy technology acquisition,  Kontrol is focused on assisting cannabis growers reduce their costs of energy.”

420 with CNW – Massachusetts Legal Cannabis Sales Hit Nearly $24M during First Two Months

January 28, 2019 04:20:02

Massachusetts started retail sales of recreational marijuana on November 20 and nearly $24 million worth of cannabis has so far been sold in just two months, according to statistics released by the state.

The data released by the Cannabis Control Commission shows that cannabis products worth $23.8 million were sold by licensed dispensaries in the maiden two months since retail sales started.

The statistics also show that retail sales have been booming since the first day of legal recreational cannabis sales. For example, the two dispensaries that opened on the first day of legal sales made about $2 million in retail sales during the first five days when they were open.

Each retail sale attracts a 20 percent tax with 3 percent of that tax going to the local authorities while 17 percent goes to the state. You can therefore calculate how much tax Massachusetts earned from the sales made during the first two months after legal sales started.

It is also worth noting that Massachusetts is the first state on the East Coast to permit recreational marijuana. The population there has responded overwhelmingly to this new development.

For example, Cultivate, one of the first dispensaries to open in Leicester, attracted such large numbers that the city held an emergency meeting to discuss how to control traffic in the area. About 1,000 customers have been visiting the retail outlet each day.

Cannabis is such a hit in the area that people flag down each other to ask for directions and everyone knows where to buy marijuana.

Does this large number of customers affect customer service at the retail outlets? Not at all, if the reports from clients are anything to go by. Many reported that everyone was served properly and it was easy to make a purchase.

One Leicester resident even said that he flagged down a cop to ask for directions and found it pleasantly weird to ask a cop for directions to where pot could be bought!

The statistics of the people who are visiting the current dispensaries each day point to the possibility that not enough retail outlets have been licensed in the state, or not all that have been licensed have opened for business. Nevertheless, business is being conducted smoothly, which is a totally different story from what is happening in Canada. ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX), Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) and everyone in the cannabis industry hopes that the Canadian supply issues will soon end so that customers there can enjoy what those in Massachusetts are enjoying.

420 with CNW – Florida Governor wants Smokable Marijuana Ban Ended

January 25, 2019 16:20:03

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida has spoken out against the medical marijuana law and threatened to step in decisively if the legislature doesn’t amend that law to permit patients to smoke medical cannabis.

The Republican Governor wants the state to have a new law that puts an end to the ban on smokable marijuana and also loosen the restrictions on the licensing conditions for treatment centers. DeSantis wants this law by mid-March.

The Governor feels that Florida voters spoke clearly enough when they approved medical marijuana, so the legislators should pass legislation that is in line with the wishes of the people. A reported 71 percent voted to legalize medical cannabis in 2016.

DeSantis says that he will drop the state’s appeals against the rulings made regarding the smokable cannabis ban as well as the legal challenge to the licensing requirements. This step will leave the courts to make a binding decision that will compel the regulators to change the existing provisions of the medical marijuana law.

However, the Governor doesn’t want to use the judicial system to effect change. Instead, he would prefer to see the necessary changes made by the legislative arm of the state, but he will have no other choice if the legislators don’t do as required within a few weeks after the new session opens on March 5.

The appeals DeSantis refers to were launched by the previous Governor (Rick Scott) after a circuit court decided that the ban on smoking medical cannabis was unconstitutional. Scott is now a Senator and DeSantis replaced him as Governor.

DeSantis spoke during a media address with John Morgan, a personal injury lawyer who sued the state over the ban on smoking medical cannabis. Morgan remarked that the no smoking issue wasn’t a joking matter and that it will be overturned one way or the other.

In response, the new Republican legislative leaders in the Senate and the House promised to work with the Governor in order to secure the necessary changes to the medical marijuana law.

It is good to see that the Governor is exerting his weight in order to help patients to have as many different ways to consume medical cannabis as is possible. Actually, the smokable cannabis may be the most affordable option for many of those patients, so keeping it off the table may impose a financial strain on people who are already struggling with serious medical conditions. The entire marijuana industry, including Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI), supports the position taken by Governor DeSantis.

Icon Exploration (TSX.V: IEX.H), through its pending reverse takeover of City View Green, has ideally positioned itself to capitalize on the recent shifting of both laws and attitudes regarding cannabis.

Another 4.3 acres at the location is being held for possible exponential upscaling with an additional 125,000 square feet of farm and extraction facilities. City View Green intends to use the space for cultivating its cannabis and then producing high-quality edible products, distillates and water-soluble brands for the cannabidiol (CBD)-infused beverage market, a rising sector within the industry as consumers continue to explore non-smoking ways of benefiting from cannabis’ properties.”

420 with CNW – Missouri Prosecutors Change Stance on Marijuana Cases

January 25, 2019 04:20:54

It is still illegal to consume recreational marijuana in Missouri, but prosecutors in several urban areas there have decided to stop going after people found in possession of small amounts of cannabis.

The prosecutors in Jackson County, St. Louis and St. Louis County have all announced that their efforts will be directed elsewhere rather than on small-time marijuana cases.

The change in these urban areas isn’t unique to Missouri. Brooklyn, Manhattan, Albany and Virginia are other examples of urban authorities where similar policies are being implemented.

Wesley Bell, the new prosecuting attorney of St. Louis County, is the latest urban authority law enforcement official to announce that low-level marijuana cases will no longer take any law enforcement resources.

However, individuals who are suspected to be distributing or selling marijuana will still be prosecuted as well as those who drive under the influence of the substance.

Marijuana law reform advocates welcomed this announcement and expect many other urban authorities to take similar action since there is growing pressure to end prohibition and adopt legalization and regulation of marijuana.

At one time, cannabis was seen as a stepping stone (“gate-way” drug) to harder drugs like heroin and cocaine. However, the medicinal use of marijuana has led to wider acceptance of the substance and nearly three dozen states have legalized its medical use. Missouri voters did the same during the recent midterms.

The decision taken by the prosecutors in the urban areas of Missouri have nevertheless attracted some criticism. For example, some lawmakers are saying that it isn’t up to the prosecutors to decide which laws they will implement and which ones they will not implement. They added that it is the work of the legislature to make laws while the judiciary interprets them and law enforcement simply implements those laws.

The action of the prosecutors is therefore a subversion of democracy, the critics concluded.

In response, Wesley Bell said that his biggest priority is to keep families safe, and small-time marijuana possession isn’t the biggest threat to families. Violent crime and other serious forms of crime pose a bigger threat to public safety, so scarce resources should be directed there.

Bell gave an example that a minor marijuana possession case can take approximately 60 hours of an assistant prosecutor’s time. Is that a good way to utilize the limited law enforcement personnel, he wondered.

Since prosecutors are in the business of tackling crime, who is to argue against them regarding how much attention low-level marijuana possession should be accorded? The cannabis industry, including VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) and TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN), welcomes every small step that is taken to end the pariah status that has been unfairly slapped on cannabis for decades.

420 with CNW – Most US Mayors Support Marijuana Legalization, Survey Shows

January 24, 2019 16:20:47

A survey conducted by a team of researchers based at Boston University shows that a slight majority of all city mayors across the U.S. supports the legalization of marijuana and the regulation of its sales.

110 current city mayors from 37 states in the nation were asked to share their views about marijuana and several other policy issues.

The researchers found that 53 percent of the mayors were in favor of marijuana legalization and regulated sales within their cities while 35 percent of the mayors said they didn’t support the legalization of marijuana in their jurisdictions.

Many of the mayors who took part in the survey revealed that their opinions hardly depended on their philosophical or moral views on marijuana. Instead, they were influenced by several practical matters when forming an opinion on the subject.

For example, some of those who opposed legalization wondered how law enforcement agencies would distinguish between legal marijuana and black market marijuana.

In terms of political party affiliation, 62 percent of Democratic Party-affiliated members said they were in favor of cannabis legalization while 67 percent of Republicans were opposed to cannabis legalization.

So far, ten states have legalized recreational marijuana and many more are queuing up to do so. However, cannabis is still illegal under federal law and this creates a contradiction between what is happening at state level and what federal law permits.

This contradiction prompted the National League of Cities (a group bringing more than 19,000 municipalities together) to pass two resolutions in 2018 asking the federal government to reform the federal marijuana laws.

Furthermore, marijuana law reform proposals in Congress have bipartisan support and there is a good chance that some of them may sail through both Houses this year.

All these changes are on the horizon as support for cannabis legalization keeps growing across the country. Recent polls by Gallup and other reputable entities show that up to 64 percent of Americans now support marijuana legalization.

It may therefore be just a matter of time before all the states legalize marijuana in some form and the federal government may then have no choice but to make some legal concessions on matters of marijuana.

Otherwise, if the views of the mayors in the Boston University survey are anything to go by, change is likely to come sooner than the federal government may have envisaged. The whole cannabis industry, including Therma Bright, Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) and The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF), is watching and waiting to see what happens on Capitol Hill.

CannabisNewsAudio – Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) Poised to Profit as Large Companies Seek Partners with Direct Selling Expertise

January 24, 2019 14:49:54

Related Editorial
With experts such as the Brightfield Group predicting the hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) market will reach $22 billion by 2022, major industry players such as Anheuser-Busch are seeing value and viability in the direct selling approach to selling CBD products.

  • With a predicted 130 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next three years, the hemp-derived CBD industry looks primed to explode.
  • The direct selling approach to selling CBD products pioneered by brands such as Youngevity International is attracting the interest of large-scale companies.
  • Given new medical studies proving the efficacy of daily CBD intake, the market appears ripe for companies with vested interests in other lifestyle markets.

Following the passing of the groundbreaking 2018 U.S. Farm Bill that legalized the industrial cultivation of hemp nationally, scores of companies not endemic to the cannabis industry are looking for ways to enter the booming CBD market. Partnerships and acquisitions look to be one of the most promising strategies, with many savvy companies utilizing the direct selling route originated by brands such as Youngevity International Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) (YGYI Profile), a leading omni-direct lifestyle company. New Age Beverages Corporation (NASDAQ: NBEV) recently merged with a direct selling company to distribute its CBD products, while beer giant Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: STZ) poured a $4 billion investment into Canadian cannabis company Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED)Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) (OTC: BUDFF) also partnered with a leading Canadian cannabis producer to research cannabis-infused drinks and owns 20 percent of Icelandic Water Holdings, which recently entered into an exclusive joint-marketing/development agreement with Youngevity to develop and sell CBD-infused products.

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) Sees Opening with Canada’s Upcoming Legalization of Cannabis Edibles, Extracts

January 24, 2019 10:52:16
  • TGOD among mere handful of Canadian cannabis cultivators dedicated to organic growing principles
  • Health Canada seeks public input on regulations governing upcoming legalization of edible cannabis, extracts and topicals
  • Deloitte survey notes that 60 percent of Canadians plan to purchase cannabis edibles
  • Company has funded capacity of 170,000 kg and is currently building three cultivation facilities in two countries

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd.

420 with CNW – US Virgin Islands Passes Medical Marijuana Law

January 24, 2019 04:20:35

On Tuesday last week, Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. signed a bill that legalized medical cannabis in the U.S. Virgin Islands. This brings to an end a long process that started with a referendum in favor of medical cannabis in 2014. 56.5 percent of the voters agreed that medical cannabis should be legalized and regulated.

Senator Positive Nelson then drafted a bill to actualize medical cannabis in the jurisdiction but the bill didn’t sail through the legislature. He persisted in bringing new bills during each legislative session until the most recent one passed in December last year and was assented to by the Governor a week ago.

Gov. Bryan Jr. had stated during his campaigns that he supported the legalization of medical cannabis, so putting his signature on the bill was a foregone conclusion as long as the bill passed on the floor of the Legislature. The Governor was also aware of the economic benefits that would accrue once medical cannabis is legalized.

The Medical Cannabis Patient Care Act states that patients need to get a recommendation from a doctor before consuming medical cannabis. The law also establishes the Office of Cannabis Regulation, the agency that will be charged with licensing and overseeing the medical cannabis industry.

The patients who reside in the Virgin Islands will be allowed to have up to four ounces of marijuana flower while those who aren’t residents will have a possession limit of three ounces. The Office of Cannabis Regulation will set the limits for the other cannabis products in due course.

The law also listed a number of health conditions for which patients can get a doctor’s recommendation for medical cannabis. These include neuropathic pain, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, HIV/AIDS, ulcerative colitis, muscle spasms, PTSD and so many others.

Medical marijuana advocates applauded the action taken by the Legislature and Gov. Bryan in passing this vital law. Patients who badly need alternative remedies for their conditions will soon access marijuana legally within the Virgin Islands.

It is expected that draft rules for the medical cannabis industry will be in place within four months after the enactment of the Medical Cannabis Patient Care Act.

What is left is for the regulations to be made so that industry players can start getting ready to cultivate, manufacture and distribute medical cannabis to the licensed dispensaries. It is hoped that this next phase will not drag out in the same way that passing the law did after the referendum of 2014. The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) and Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) wish the U.S. Virgin Islands a speedy implementation of their medical cannabis program.

420 with CNW – Washington Legislators Make Another Attempt at Legalizing Cannabis Homegrows

January 23, 2019 16:20:38

Washington State still remains as the only state where recreational cannabis is legal but residents aren’t allowed to grow the plant for their own use. However, this may change if the two bills introduced in the state legislature are passed, thereby allowing adults to grow a maximum of six plants for their own use.

Previous attempts to pass similar bills have met with failure, so it isn’t a foregone conclusion that the attempts this year will bear fruit.

The key difference this time round is that the two bills have bipartisan support, at least when the list of sponsors is analyzed.

One advocate of growing cannabis at home, John Kingsbury, revealed that he has been approaching numerous legislators to ask them to support the new bills. Many revealed that they couldn’t sign their names against the bills, but promised to vote in favor of the bills should they ever reach the floor of the legislature.

This new set of bills seeks to eliminate the restrictions that were proposed by regulators at the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) in 2017 when proposals to allow people to grow cannabis at home were first suggested.

Those restrictions included a cap of four plants for homegrows. The LCB also wanted people to obtain a mandatory license from the state if they wanted to grow cannabis at home. There was even a suggestion that mechanisms should be instituted to track a cannabis plant throughout the state!

The new bills propose that adults can grow a maximum of six plants and there will be no need to obtain a permit or to track the plants grown by each adult.

Critics of plans to allow residents to grow their own cannabis claim that allowing such a practice would expand the black market for marijuana and that it will be hard to regulate the industry.

However, those in favor of the proposals counter that Washington is learning from the experience of other states and can therefore pick what to apply and what to avoid. For example, the six-plant limit is a valuable requirement since it sidesteps the mistake made by Colorado when it initially allowed residents to grow up to 99 plants, a move that allowed this legally grown crop to end up on the illicit market.

Additionally, the legalization of homegrows would curb the black market since residents would resort to consuming their own produce if retail outlets and medical cannabis dispensaries ever developed shortages.

The cannabis industry, including Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQB: SNNVF) and Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD), is watching how the bills will be debated and voted on, if they get to that stage.

Emerging leader in the cannabis, hemp, and cannabidiol (“CBD”) marketplace Golden Developing Solutions (OTC: DVLP) this morning announced that it is presently establishing a state-of-the-art facility for high-capacity CBD extraction and production. The company is in negotiations with a leading supplier of first-class extraction and production equipment and has strategically chosen an ideal location for the facility which will be disclosed to shareholders soon. Per the update, the company intends on marketing both 99% pure CBD distillate and full-spectrum CBD products and targeting major wholesale manufacturers and dispensaries. Additionally, DVLP also reported a noteworthy expansion in its core team, with both C-suite and Board of Director positions growing to include over 50 years in new collective experience in real estate, cannabis and international business. “Frankly, our Where’s Weed segment has outperformed, both in terms of financial performance and in terms of network effects. One major consequence of this latter impact is that a large and increasing number of our platform dispensaries have indicated that they would be excited by a vertical integration on our side such that DVLP represents a one-stop-shop: marketing dispensaries, locating customers, and supplying the product. We ran the math and it makes sublime sense. With the cash flow coming from that business, we can seamlessly add a powerful new segment in stride and everybody wins,” DVLP CEO Stavros Triant commented in the news release.

420 with CNW – About 60 Closed Cannabis Dispensaries May Reopen in Michigan

January 23, 2019 04:20:02

The Michigan Medical Marijuana Licensing Board has voted to allow more than 60 medical cannabis dispensaries to reopen at least until March 31 as their license applications are processed.

The decision was announced after there was an outcry that patients would find it hard to get medical cannabis if that large number of dispensaries is closed pending the processing of their license applications.

The reprieve given to the closed businesses is subject to a number of conditions. First, the local government of the area should have granted the business approval to operate in their jurisdiction. The business should have also submitted its license application within a certain timeframe, in addition to meeting the other conditions before it reopens.

This decision was met with some reservations by a section of the members of the licensing board. These individuals felt that letting these closed businesses to reopen would be unfair to those dispensaries that had done everything possible to acquire a license.

By reopening unlicensed dispensaries, the board may be setting a precedent that it makes no difference whether you comply with regulatory requirements in time or not.

These concerned board members were of the view that the 50 licensed dispensaries should have been given a chance to see a boom in their sales as a reward for taking timely action to get licensed. The unlicensed dispensaries are 72.

In a related development, medical marijuana products that haven’t been tested and approved can still be sold at the different dispensaries within Michigan as long as the dispensary gives the patient an acknowledgment form to sign confirming that the patient is aware that the product hasn’t met all the testing requirements of the state.

The previous Governor of Michigan, Rick Synder, had tried to close all the medical cannabis dispensaries that were still using the emergency rules as the basis of their operation before they get licenses.

However, those attempts to close the dispensaries were thwarted by court rulings and the desire to protect patients’ interests regarding ease of access to medical marijuana. This recent reprieve by the licensing board is yet another speed bump on the journey to accept only licensed dispensaries to operate in the state.

All in all, it is good that the interests of the patients have been given precedence by the medical marijuana licensing board in Michigan. Sproutly Canada, Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) and SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) urge the affected dispensaries to comply with all the regulatory requirements so that their operations aren’t disrupted once the deadline reaches.

420 with CNW – Wisconsin Governor Reveals Plans to Legalize Marijuana

January 22, 2019 16:20:05

The new Governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers, has announced that he intends to take the first step towards legalizing marijuana in the state during the first two years of his term of office. Evers revealed that he will include medical marijuana legalization during his budget proposals for this year.

The Governor made those statements during his address to the board members of the Wisconsin Technological Council last week. The Democratic Governor also revealed that he doesn’t want to rush anything, so he will start by pushing for the legalization of medical marijuana before taking the next step to legalizing recreational cannabis in the state.

Gov. Evers also stated that while he could push for legislation to make medical cannabis legal, he prefers that a referendum is used to decide whether recreational cannabis should be legalized or not.

However, the Governor also added that he wants the process to be handled “correctly.” When questioned about what he meant by that, Gov. Evers made some revealing remarks regarding his views on cannabis legalization.

First, he stated that he would like to see a cannabis industry that is favorable to small businesses. He revealed that he didn’t want to see the corporate takeover of the industry in Wisconsin just as what is happening elsewhere, such as Washington State.

He also added that he would like to see a tax structure that doesn’t make businesses to struggle to stay afloat, as is the case in Colorado. He wants residents to get involved in the industry profitably, rather than going broke in the process of working in an industry for which one is passionate.

The Governor’s views notwithstanding, it may be tough to legalize medical cannabis in the state using legislative means. This is because the Governor’s plans may be blocked by the legislators who aren’t so warm towards his ideas. For example, Scott Fitzgerald (Republican), the Senate Majority Leader, is a known opponent of medical marijuana legalization.

Be that as it may, the goodwill of the Governor towards cannabis legalization is invaluable to those who would like to see the marijuana laws in the state reformed. Those voices are gathering momentum and it may not be long before the elected representatives of the people start feeling that they risk losing their positions if they go against what the majority want on issues of marijuana legalization.

The entire cannabis industry, including Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4) and Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) welcomes Gov. Evers’ plan to develop a homegrown approach to cannabis legalization.
