Hemp Boom Spawns Lucrative Deals

April 17, 2019 08:00:11

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

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

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

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

April 17, 2019 03:20:53

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

April 16, 2019 15:20:51

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

April 16, 2019 12:00:40

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

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

April 16, 2019 03:20:26

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

April 15, 2019 15:20:31

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

April 15, 2019 13:07:53

Clinical-stage gene-therapy company Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) is at the forefront to advance innovative developments in the war against lung cancers, testing its trademarked Oncoprex immunogene therapy. A recent article discussing this reads, “Oncoprex’s phase I and II clinical-stage trial therapies are designed to administer cancer-fighting genes by encapsulating them into nanoscale hollow spheres called nanovesicles, which are then administered intravenously and taken up by tumor cells where they express proteins that are missing or found in low quantities (http://nnw.fm/aJtE9). The company has a portfolio of 30 issued patents and two more pending, and it is also conducting preclinical research to help identify which patients will be most likely to benefit from its gene therapies and which additional cancer drugs will be the most synergistic with Oncoprex.”

To view the full article, visit http://nnw.fm/6grZu

About Genprex Inc.

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

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

April 15, 2019 03:20:10

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

April 12, 2019 15:20:27

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 – California’s Cannabis Home Delivery Policy Faces Legal Challenge

April 12, 2019 03:20:35

Recently, California passed a rule to allow the statewide delivery of cannabis. However, a legal battle between the state and 25 cities is brewing after the cities went to court to have that rule overturned.

When California legalized marijuana, local governments were given the right to decide whether cannabis businesses and sales would be permitted in their jurisdictions and the conditions under which such operations could be permitted.

Many local governments exercised their right and opted to ban recreational cannabis from their jurisdictions. The new rule allowing cannabis retailers to deliver cannabis to “any address” within the state has angered the local authorities and 25 of them have gone to court over the matter since the rule would, in effect, render their position to ban cannabis ineffective.

At the core of this lawsuit is a desire to determine whether it is the state regulators in charge, or the local authorities where marijuana is cultivated and sold.

Marijuana companies and consumers advocated for the passing of the rule allowing the delivery of cannabis in the state because there were large “marijuana deserts” created by the action of local authorities that banned marijuana in their jurisdictions.

Those “deserts” made it difficult for people, especially frail patients, in those areas to access cannabis and yet the products were legal in the state.

Prop 64, the law under which cannabis became legal in California, indicates that cannabis can be delivered anywhere in the state by employees of a licensed cannabis retail business.

The cities that have gone to court therefore seem to be interested in establishing whether that provision overrides their power to restrict cannabis businesses from operating within their jurisdictions.

The state insists that the delivery rule is merely reinforcing what is already in the law while the cities argue that cannabis businesses are trying to circumvent the ban imposed by local governments. The cities insist that the deliveries should only be to the areas where the local governments have consented to the operation of cannabis businesses in their areas.

Currently, California is the largest cannabis market within the U.S., but many residents have been finding it hard to buy marijuana because of the ban imposed by several local authorities. This case is therefore going to be a landmark one since the ruling may make a definitive determination of how the cannabis industry in the state will operate.

The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF), Therma Bright, Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) and the entire marijuana industry are watching with bated breath to see how the court will rule on this latest source of friction between the state and the local governments.

420 with CNW – New Mexico Makes Sweeping Changes to its Medical Cannabis Law

April 11, 2019 15:20:16

Ever since the Compassionate Use Act was signed into law in 2007, no major changes had been made to it until last week when Gov. Michele Grisham appended her signature to Senate Bill 406. This bill, now a law, makes numerous changes to the medical cannabis law of New Mexico.

One major change that will take effect on June 14 has to do with medical cannabis in schools. Under the updated law, medical cannabis will be administered on school premises under specific circumstances. For this to happen, parents of kids on medical cannabis will present to the school a detailed treatment plan designed by a medical professional.

However, schools will still reserve the right to accept or outlaw medical marijuana if the school district thinks that their federal funding may be at risk.

The new changes to the law will also allow patients who have a license to grow their own medical marijuana to take their produce to a manufacturer for processing into edibles, concentrates or any other form desired by the patient. This will, of course, be at the expense of the patient.

Previously, only Non-Profit producers of medical marijuana could take it to manufacturers for processing.

Medical cannabis users from other states also have a reason to smile after the governor signed this bill. Out-of-state medical cannabis users will now be able to take part in the medical marijuana program of New Mexico. Previously, only residents could benefit from this program.

The validity period of medical cannabis cards issued by New Mexico has also been extended from one year to three years. This will save the time and expenses associated with renewing a card each year.

It has also been hard for patients to find a place outside their homes where they can consume medical cannabis. The new law intends to put an end to this since it contains provisions for the licensing of consumption areas. The only condition here is that those consumption areas have to be approved by the New Mexico Department of Health.

The law has provisions that cement the protections accorded to patients using medical cannabis. For example, a patient will not be fired from a job just because he or she uses medical cannabis. However, this protection doesn’t save you from being fired if you are under the influence while at your job. Similarly, a parent will not be denied visitation or custody rights on account of being a user of medical cannabis.

The entire cannabis industry, including Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) and The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) (OTC: FLWPF), welcomes the updates which have been made to the cannabis law in New Mexico in order to bring the law in line with the evolving needs of the patients using medical marijuana.

HODL Rally Set to Drive Blockchain Adoption with Grand Block Party Across Europe

April 11, 2019 11:00:12

Blockchain and block parties may seem worlds apart, but they have more in common than meets the eye. Both are, essentially, devices of democratization. Like block parties, blockchain technology fosters equality through its peer-to-peer structure, operating without a central authority and with an openness that makes it accessible to all – a profound reflection that inspired Virtue Nightingale, CEO of HODL Rally, to launch the event in order to drive wider adoption of blockchain technology.

For eight days, a caravan of 100 sleek cars will meander 1,800 miles through eight cities – London, Paris, Geneva, Monaco, Barcelona, Valencia, Denia and Ibiza – presenting a moving blockchain promotional platform.

Mainstream Acceptance, Strong Growth Adds to Growing CBD Market

April 11, 2019 08:00:16

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The CBD market is experiencing explosive growth as a result of growing mainstream acceptance and strong leadership.

The North American CBD market, worth more than $9 billion in 2017, is projected to be worth $47 billion by 2027.
Growth is possible partly through mainstream acceptance, with pressure on a variety of institutions to accept medical CBD.
Leaders are emerging within the CBD and cannabis markets, as leading voices gain recognition for their work.

Wildflower Brands Inc. (OTCQB: WLDFF) (CSE: SUN) (WLDFF Profile), which focuses on health and wellness products, is benefiting from this growth through the establishment of strong distribution deals. Several companies are responding to the growth by expanding operations. Canadian-based Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is adding production capacity in both Canada and Europe. Aphria (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA) is increasing its indoor grow operations. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) is focusing its development efforts on projects in the United States. And Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) is using a significant outside investment to make…

420 with CNW – California Bill Aims to Allow Terminally Ill Patients to Use Marijuana in Hospitals

April 11, 2019 03:20:58

Senate Bill 305, also called The Compassionate Access to Cannabis Act, has been tabled (this week) before a Senate Committee in California. The bill is intended to allow patients who are terminally ill to access medical marijuana while they are in hospital or other care facilities.

The bill is also referred to as “Ryan’s Law.” Ryan Bartell lost his life to pancreatic cancer at 42 years of age last year. After he was diagnosed with the disease, Ryan received high doses of prescription opiates in the Washington-based facility where he was admitted.

His family wanted to switch to cannabis, but they were dismayed to learn that the hospital where Ryan was admitted could not accept the use of cannabis on its premises. The Cannabis Nurses Network came to the rescue of the family and helped them to move the patient to another hospital where he could receive cannabis medications.

The cannabis medications produced astonishing results because Ryan remained alert and pain-free throughout his final days. In contrast, the opiates he had previously been taking kept him barely conscious and the pain didn’t go away.

Upon the death of Ryan, his father (Jim Bartell) hired a lawyer to help him to draft The Compassionate Access to Cannabis Act in memory of his son. Jim Bartell didn’t want other patients to be restricted to opiates that would deny them the chance to have some quality time with their families in their final days.

The federal Drug-Free Workplace Act compels all institutions that receive funding from the federal government to prevent the distribution and use of controlled substances, such as marijuana.

The bill before California’s senate committee wants to provide a way for medical facilities to put in place mechanisms by which patients receiving end-of-life care can, upon the recommendation of their doctor, access cannabis within the healthcare facility.

The bill will prevent a scenario in which hospitals scramble to find a way to provide medical marijuana. Instead, they will plan ahead so that once a patient or their doctor requests for medical cannabis, then the hospital would simply activate the system that they had established proactively.

If enacted, the bill will play a big role in bringing medical marijuana into the mainstream as far as the field of medicine is concerned. The stigma against medical marijuana can reduce drastically with this one measure.

VPR Brands, LP (OTC: VPRB) and Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) earnestly hope that Ryan’s Law is passed so that medical cannabis takes its rightful place among the treatments that patients can receive while in hospital.

420 with CNW – Federally Grown Cannabis is Closer to Hemp than Commercially Available Cannabis, Study Finds

April 10, 2019 15:20:06

According to newly published research, the research-grade cannabis sourced from the only federally licensed cultivator (Mississippi University) is closer to hemp than the commercially available cannabis in the states where cannabis is legal.

The findings of this research bring into question the outcomes of the marijuana studies which have been conducted using the cannabis from the Mississippi farm. Do the results really help researchers to understand the real-world effects of cannabis?

Earlier research had demonstrated that the marijuana grown at the University of Mississippi using funds obtained from NIDA (National Institutes on Drug Abuse) had lower concentrations of THC and CBD when compared to the cannabis products that are commercially available.

However, the researchers from the University of Northern Colorado wanted to go a step further and compare the genetic composition of the federally-approved cannabis and what is on the market in states where cannabis is legal.

The researchers therefore obtained about 49 samples of hemp and cannabis taken from what is on the market and what NIDA avails to federally-approved research teams. The samples included sativa, indica and hybrid varieties of marijuana currently available on the market.

After analyzing these samples, the research team was surprised to find that the cannabis supplied by NIDA differed so much from what was on the market. The research-grade cannabis proved to be genetically closer to hemp rather than being similar to the cannabis consumers were accessing legally.

This outcome provides food for thought when one is thinking about using cannabis from NIDA to do research. If the research is focused on THC or CBD as standalone components, then the cannabis from Mississippi University can suffice.

However, if the study is intended to understand what effects cannabis has on the patients or recreational users, then the NIDA products aren’t appropriate since their use won’t mirror what people are consuming.

The findings of this Colorado study provide more momentum to the calls for expanding the federally-approved cultivators of research-grade cannabis in the U.S. While calls for interested parties to cultivate cannabis for research purposes were published, the Department of Justice has been very slow in processing the applications, so Mississippi University is still the sole federal source of cannabis for research purposes.

William Barr, the new U.S. Attorney General, has promised to look into the matter and take the necessary steps. Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) and Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) hope that the research from the University of Northern Colorado triggers a sense of urgency in bringing more cultivators on board so that researchers can access cannabis of the right quality.

420 with CNW – Guam Legalizes Recreational Cannabis

April 10, 2019 03:20:24

Lou Leon Guerrero, the Governor of Guam, has signed into law a bill that legalizes recreational cannabis in the U.S. territory. This signing comes after months of intense debate in this small Pacific island of 164,000 residents.

The law provides for the creation of a nine-member Cannabis Control Board which will draft the rules governing retail sales. The rules are scheduled to be drafted and debated in the course of this year. This board will also oversee the entire recreational cannabis program.

Under the newly passed legalization law, adults in Guam will be permitted to possess a maximum of an ounce of cannabis. Residents will also be allowed to grow six mature plants for their own recreational use.

Speaking at a press conference, Guerrero said that cannabis is the most used illicit drug, so the law was needed in order to regulate its use in order to protect minors and also benefit from its medicinal properties. She added that the new law will create a safer environment for the residents of the island territory.

It should be noted that Guam legalized medical marijuana back in 2014. However, the island has never licensed a testing lab, so the medical marijuana sector remains largely dormant. Home cultivation of recreational marijuana was also approved in 2018.

It is hoped that the legalization of recreational cannabis will add impetus to the efforts to operationalize the commercialization of cannabis both for medicinal and recreational purposes.

The cannabis law was passed without any stiff opposition. The only concern that was raised by some legislators regarded the federal status of cannabis. However, this matter was put to rest when supporters pointed out that the STATES Act was making its way through committees of Congress and this showed that the federal government would not interfere in any jurisdiction that had passed its own marijuana laws.

The STATES Act largely centers on making it possible for marijuana businesses to get access to banking and insurance services without any fear of federal repercussions upon the banks, credit unions and insurance companies that choose to do business with marijuana companies in the U.S. states and territories where marijuana is legal in some form.

The signing of the legalization bill makes Guam the second U.S. territory to legalize recreational marijuana. Northern Mariana Islands was the first territory to allow adult-use cannabis when it passed its cannabis law last year.

Sproutly Canada, Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) and Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) welcome Guam into the fold of jurisdictions that have enacted laws to regulate the cannabis industry in order to tap the opportunities presented by this nascent sector.

420 with CNW – Another Connecticut Legislative Committee Approves Cannabis Legalization

April 9, 2019 15:20:52

The Judiciary Committee in Connecticut’s Assembly has also approved a bill that will pave the way for marijuana legalization. This is after the General Law Committee also approved a bill on cannabis legalization.

The move to legalize recreational cannabis in Connecticut is still in its early stages, and the legislators have opted to draft different bills covering different aspects of legalization before merging all those bills into one once they are passed by the relevant committees.

The bill before the Judiciary Committee was hotly contested and it passed with a slim majority (21 votes in favor and 19 against).

If the bill becomes law, adults who are 21 or older would be allowed to possess a maximum of 1.5 ounces of cannabis and a maximum of 5 grams of cannabis concentrates. The bill outlaws the home cultivation of cannabis.

During the meeting of the Judiciary Committee, some members expressed concerns about the possible effects of cannabis legalization on impaired driving and youth consumption. However, many of these individuals acknowledged that voting against the bill would be a futile undertaking since cannabis legalization was inevitable.

The bill eventually passed, and it is now headed to the Finance Committee. Thereafter, the different bills will be combined into one prior to being tabled before the entire legislative assembly for consideration.

Cannabis advocates generally support the bill, although they suggest that it should be improved in several aspects.

One area of improvement suggested by the Marijuana Policy Project has to do with the expungement provisions. The advocates suggest that all prior cannabis convictions should be expunged. They also want the bill to include a provision that allows residents to grow their own recreational marijuana.

Other advocates also want the law to be clear about the way in which the different communities that suffered the brunt of the so-called war on drugs can benefit from the opportunities created in the legal cannabis industry.

As things stand, both sides on this debate may have to make concessions if the bill is to have a chance of becoming a law soon. Otherwise, a lack of consensus and compromise may create a situation similar to what has played out in New York State where adult-use cannabis could not be included in the state budget due to disagreements regarding the way in which the legalization policy would be implemented.

Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4) and SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) hope that the path to cannabis legalization gets smoother as the different bills leave the different House Committees in Connecticut.
