420 with CNW – Israel Decriminalizes Recreational Cannabis

April 9, 2019 03:20:16

New cannabis laws that were passed in Israel on April 1 decriminalize recreational cannabis. This means that people found with small amounts of cannabis will be fined instead of facing criminal charges if those individuals don’t have a license to use medical cannabis.

The day when adult-use marijuana was decriminalized was also the day when the fourth edition of the annual CannaTech conference was held in Tel Aviv. Ehud Barak, a former Israel premier, spoke eloquently at the CannaTech conference about the immense benefits of medical cannabis. He went as far as saying that the Israeli motto may be updated to “the land of milk, honey and cannabis.”

Why would Ehud Barak deliver a keynote address at a cannabis conference? It so happens that the former premier is the chairman of an Israeli medical marijuana company called Canndoc/Intercure.

Barak joins a growing list of politicians who previously opposed cannabis but are now ardent advocates. He joins the likes of former speaker of Congress, John Boehner. Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico, also changed from being a kingpin in the fight against marijuana to calling for an overhaul of prohibitionist marijuana laws.

Ehud Barak pointed out during his keynote address that the future of marijuana belonged to the bigger and more assertive players who would “swiftly enter the cannabis market.”

He was referring to the decision of the Israeli parliament that passed a law in December last year paving way for Israeli companies to export medical marijuana. This law positioned Israel to be one of the biggest players in the international marijuana industry.

Barak also talked about Israeli cannabis companies like Tikun Olam (a Hebrew expression meaning “repair the world”) that already had a major stake in the cannabis market. This company alone commands an estimated 40 percent share of the global medical cannabis industry.

His statements should not be taken lightly, because major milestones, such as the discovery of the endocannabinoid system in humans, can be traced to Israeli doctors or researchers.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Israel has revealed that more than 550 farms in the country have submitted their applications for licenses to grow medical cannabis. There is no guessing which market these cultivators are eyeing, since the local market cannot utilize all the cannabis grown by these farms.

Israel has a short list of qualifying conditions for which patients can get a prescription for medical marijuana. These include epilepsy, Parkinson’s, cancer and many other terminal illnesses. Most of the medical cannabis grown in Israel is therefore likely to be headed out of the country.

MustGrow Biologics Corp. and Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) congratulate Israel upon taking the important step of decriminalizing recreational cannabis. The next step should now be full legalization.

420 with CNW – Student-Organized Event Discusses Cannabis on Sidelines of Michigan Hash Bash

April 8, 2019 15:20:46

Every year, a Hash Bash festival is held in Ann Arbor as a day of having fun and entertainment. This year, law students at Michigan Law School worked with the organizers of the Hash Bash festival to host an event at the law school to discuss marijuana legalization politics.

This event was held yesterday (Sunday, April 7) while the Hash Bash took place on Saturday. The organizers of the event at Michigan Law School wanted to educate members of the public about issues related to marijuana. Several panelists made presentations on various issues.

Ari Goldstein, a law student who was one of the organizers, remarked that marijuana legalization brings entrepreneurial opportunities that haven’t been seen since the Great Depression, so every effort must be taken to prepare people to seize those opportunities.

Kevin Boehnke, who is a research fellow at Michigan University’s Department of Anesthesiology, revealed during his presentation that several patient studies point to the fact that more patients are opting for medical marijuana to manage pain instead of using prescription opioids.

The shift is due to the better symptom relief experienced by patients, and the concerns about the documented side effects of prescription opioids.

Another panelist, Gus Rosania (a professor of pharmacological sciences) handled the topic of natural vs. synthetic cannabis ingredients. Rosania dispelled the misconception that synthetic cannabis is different from natural cannabis.

He revealed that at the basic level, synthetic marijuana is chemically identical to natural marijuana, so it is hard to tell the two apart. He added that it was only because different ingredients could be isolated and made in a lab that it was possible to identify the different cannabinoids in marijuana.

Andrew Brisbo, the head of Michigan’s Bureau of Marijuana Regulation, was also in attendance to talk about the ramifications of the legalization of recreational cannabis in the state. He revealed that he had a huge task on his desk to put together a program for recreational cannabis implementation in just a year from the time the law was passed.

Brisbo intimated that one way that he was using to get everything done correctly is by engaging different stakeholders in order to tap their perspectives when putting together an implementation plan.

Many people in the audience expressed their frustration about how hard it was for them to get a medical cannabis prescription from their doctors. Brisbo expressed sympathy for their plight and revealed that it wasn’t easy to change attitudes about cannabis after such a long time of prohibition. He added that efforts were underway to give physicians more information about medical cannabis so that they can gradually warm up to prescribing it to their patients who qualify for such treatment.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) and Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) welcome such engagements between regulators, patients, professors and other stakeholders since such interactions can result in better cannabis industry policies.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) Collaborators Report Positive Preclinical Data at 2019 AACR Annual Meeting

April 8, 2019 10:57:28

Clinical-stage gene therapy company Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) this morning announced that its collaborators from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”) detailed positive preclinical data, in a poster presented at the American Association of Cancer Research Meeting 2019, regarding the combination of the TUSC2 gene with an anti-PD1 antibody, pembrolizumab, for the treatment of lung cancer. TUSC2 is a tumor suppressor gene and the active agent in Genprex’s Oncoprex immunogene therapy.

“Development of an improved humanized patient-derived xenograft, Hu-PDX, mouse model for evaluation of antitumor immune response in lung cancer,” was the title of the poster, which demonstrated that TUSC2 combined with checkpoint blockade was more effective than checkpoint blockade alone in increasing the survival of mice with human immune cells (humanized mice) that had metastatic lung cancer. The data showed that TUSC2 treatment with checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab worked to significantly slow tumor growth. Previously, pembrolizumab had no effect on tumor growth in non-humanized mice. The data also demonstrated the Hu-PDX model as an improved platform for immunotherapy evaluation.

“This sophisticated model gets one step closer to recapitulating certain functions of the human immune response within a manageable scientific animal model and allows us to further test our hypotheses of how a more complex immune system could interact with aggressive cancers when primed by drugs, such as Oncoprex, in humans,” Genprex President and COO Julien L. Pham, MD, MPH, stated in the news release. “These data further support and solidify existing preclinical data showing that Oncoprex immunogene therapy is synergistic with anti-PD1 therapy and could result in a stronger antitumor response compared to either agent alone. It also demonstrates how Oncoprex could be used in combination with other immunotherapies as a viable treatment option for late-stage non-small cell lung cancer.”

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 – Florida Moves to Regulate the Potency of Smokable Medical Cannabis

April 8, 2019 03:20:16

Barely a month ago, Gov. DeSantis signed a bill to allow patients to smoke medical marijuana after protracted legal battles which ended when court ruled that banning smokable marijuana was unconstitutional. Now a bill to regulate the strength of the smokable medical marijuana has been passed by a House committee amidst protests by medical cannabis advocates.

On Wednesday (April 3), the Health and Human Services Committee decided that the THC content of the marijuana flower that patients wish to smoke should not exceed 10 percent.

Medical cannabis advocates protested, saying that such a cap didn’t even reflect the strength of the cannabis already on the market. The advocates say that higher THC levels are necessary for triggering the therapeutic effects that patients have been enjoying when they use medical marijuana.

The advocates also say that the cap will make medical cannabis more expensive since patients may need to buy more in order to get the effects that they were getting when using more potent cannabis.

Those against this cap also say that the state has just handed a lifeline to the black market since patients are likely to shun legal weed in favor of more potent marijuana on the black market.

In general, the Republicans on the committee were in favor of the cap while the Democrats didn’t want the limit to be passed.

Ray Rodrigues, the chair of the committee, argued that there was research showing that marijuana with a THC concentration that is higher than 10 percent can cause psychosis in some patients while marijuana with less than 10 percent THC content was therapeutic.

He rejected calls for Florida to first study the effects of higher levels of THC on patients before imposing such a cap. The chairman responded that while medical cannabis was relatively new in Florida, it had been around for decades in other states, and the data there shows that high THC levels can be problematic.

Out of the 33 states and the District of Columbia where medical cannabis is legal, 14 have THC limits on medical marijuana. Rodrigues said that most of those 14 states impose a limit that is much lower than what is being proposed in Florida.

Currently, more than 200,000 people have medical cannabis identification cards in Florida. It is not clear how the THC limit will affect their buying habits, and whether more people will enroll for the program.

Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) and Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN) hope that more robust debate will be conducted when this proposed bill is tabled before the entire House prior to its passing so that the limit set doesn’t push patients to the black market.

420 with CNW – Georgia on the Verge of Legalizing Medical Cannabis

April 5, 2019 15:20:32

The state assembly in Georgia has passed a bill that will allow medical marijuana to be grown and processed within the state. With the Governor ready to sign the bill, there seems to be no hurdle to medical marijuana becoming a reality.

HB 324 was drafted in order to address the gaps that were created by a law passed in 2015 legalizing the use of low-THC cannabis oil for the treatment of a given set of medical conditions.

However, that law didn’t create any provision for the cultivation, sale or possession of cannabis oil within Georgia.

The bill that has just been passed addresses all those loopholes. It creates avenues through which cannabis can be grown for the extraction of low-THC marijuana oil. The bill also allows the creation of a commission to oversee the medical cannabis industry, as well as license different entities like universities which wish to take part in the manufacture of cannabis oil.

HB 324 doesn’t legalize recreational cannabis in the state, and it doesn’t have any provisions that allow the smoking of cannabis within the state.

It has been reported that Governor Kemp did a lot to help the assembly and the senate to reach a consensus on how the illegal distribution of marijuana will be prevented in the state. This compromise paved the way for the passing of HB 324.

Kemp said, “I have met several kids struggling with debilitating diseases, as well as parents who are losing hope that their kids can be helped. Medical cannabis offers hope to such parents.”

Kemp added that legalizing medical marijuana was the right thing to do, and that was why he invested so much in seeing to it that both legislative houses approved the bill.

If the bill is finally enacted into law, Georgia will join the long list of 33 states that have legalized medical marijuana.

Advocates may not be happy that the state is only allowing the use of cannabis oil, but it is at least a good start. Reforms can be introduced later when the program is being implemented and the patients, as well as the regulators, realize that other forms of cannabis, such as creams and edibles, may be needed.

All in all, the entire cannabis industry, especially Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP) congratulate the lawmakers in Georgia for making it possible for patients to have one more treatment option as those patients battle with the conditions afflicting them.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) DehydraTECH Technology Revolutionizes CBD Delivery

April 5, 2019 14:11:40

Biotechnology company Lexaria Bioscience’s (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) innovative drug-delivery platform DehydraTECH(TM) alters the way cannabinoids enter the bloodstream, which results in increased absorption. A recent article discussing LXRP reads, “Its proprietary technology promises multiple advantages in cannabinoid edibles. First, it masks the undesirable taste typically found in cannabinoid edibles, eliminating the need to add sweetening agents and enabling sugar-free options. Second, it increases the product’s absorption rate, with absorption occurring at two- to five-times higher rates than other edibles. Finally, it reduces the time of onset; effects of the product are felt within 15–20 minutes of consumption rather than the typical 60–120 minutes. In a March 2016 focus study, subjects ranked Lexaria’s formulation as the best tasting and most palatable option. They also found it to deliver the highest-quality THC experience overall.”

(NASDAQ: YGYI) (YGYI Profile) is a leading producer of consumer-focused CBD products that is expanding its reach into other areas of the CBD supply chain. It joins companies such as CV Sciences Inc.

420 with CNW – Ireland Finally Selects a Medical Marijuana Supplier

April 5, 2019 03:20:03

The Irish government has revealed that it has finally identified and issued an import license to a Danish medical cannabis firm. The license was reportedly issued back in January.

Slightly more than two years ago, Simon Harris, the Irish Health Minister, announced that Ireland would create a medical cannabis program for its patients who couldn’t be helped by the existing conventional treatments for their health conditions.

However, little seemed to happen from the time that announcement was made. The revelation that a medical marijuana supplier had been found and licensed is therefore welcome news to the medical cannabis advocates in the country.

The government explained that it delayed to secure a supplier because it wanted to be convinced about the ability of that selected firm to deliver medical cannabis of verifiable quality, but many firms wouldn’t be able to export medical cannabis to Ireland.

The Ministry of Health has also confirmed that its staff is working tirelessly to finalize drafting the enabling legislation that will operationalize the medical cannabis program. The draft law may be ready by mid-April.

The medical cannabis that will be imported is intended to treat patients with nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, patients suffering from multiple sclerosis as well as patients suffering from severe epilepsy.

These qualifying conditions are part of the recommendations that were made by HPRA (Health Products Regulatory Authority) when it looked into the viability of medical cannabis and wrote a report in favor of setting up the medical cannabis program.

As the country waits for the operationalization of the medical cannabis program, doctors are allowed to prescribe medical marijuana to the patients that they are convinced can benefit from these products.

These patients are then required to apply to the Minister of Health for a license that can allow them to travel abroad to buy medical cannabis and bring it into Ireland.

As you may imagine, this process is a tedious and expensive one. It is therefore no surprise that in more than a year, the ministry has only granted licenses to just a dozen people. Most of these individuals obtained their medical cannabis from medical cannabis pharmacies in the Netherlands.

The enactment of the Cannabis for Medicinal Use Regulation bill will bring a sigh of relief to the patients who desperately need medical cannabis but cannot afford to travel abroad frequently in order to obtain it. Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) hope that the authorities in Ireland speed up all the necessary processes so that patients can access medical cannabis locally.

420 with CNW – US Marijuana Producers Opt to Certify Products Kosher (Since They Can’t Get Federal Organic Certification)

April 4, 2019 15:20:32

As the cannabis market matures in different jurisdictions within the U.S., producers are fine-tuning their products in order to make those products more appealing to different segments of the market. One of the ways to target a niche market is by having your product certified as organic.

However, such food classifications are controlled at the federal level in the U.S. and since marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, no marijuana product can be federally certified as organic.

So, what have marijuana producers decided to do?

Several certification bodies have taken root in different states. The most respected certification for cannabis is the “Clean Green Certified”. However, many of the other certifications don’t carry as much weight as the “certified organic” badge on a product’s packaging material.

In order to take cannabis products to the niche market, a producer in California has decided to get a certification that has a religious twist to it.

Mission Kosher Cannabis Inc. is a cannabis company owned by Mitch Davis. Davis decided to have his products certified by a third-party (kosher) in order to be different from the other cannabis producers who were getting their certification from within the cannabis industry.

With the help of Rabbi Levy Zirkind, Mitch Davis is creating kosher certification standards for cannabis after he got his own products Kosher certified.

For those who may not know, kosher certification is very different from organic certification. A product can be kosher certified even if that product isn’t organic.

Kosher certification is all about product cleanliness. The product should not have any bugs in it. The product should also be free from pest infestations. Cleanliness is of the essence. There is a rigorous inspection process that has to be done to check all the boxes on these items before one gets the coveted kosher certification.

Additionally, one’s production system has to undergo random inspections in order for the product to retain its certification.

Mitch Davis says he loves the kosher certification because it has helped him to gel his workforce into a unit. All of the employees know that everything must be clean at all times because you can never know when the kosher inspectors will pass by.

When the inspectors visit, they take a close look at the facilities, such as where the cannabis plants are grown, how they are grown and where they are processed. They check the plants and harvested cannabis bud for pests and they also want to confirm that the employees in the grow rooms are wearing the recommended apparel.

With a kosher certification, who can really miss the federal organic certification?

Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL) and Global Consortium, Inc. (OTC: GCGX) congratulate Mitch Davis upon thinking outside the box and coming up with a novel way to show clients that cannabis producers are willing to do everything possible to bring them products of the highest quality possible.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Sproutly Canada Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) Fostering Innovation in the Cannabis Industry

April 4, 2019 14:21:09

Sproutly Canada (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G), a Canadian-licensed producer (“LP”), recently acquired Infusion Biosciences to bring to market its patent-pending aqueous phytorecovery process (“APP”) technology. A recent article discussing the technology reads, “Fundamentally, Sproutly Canada is uniting advanced cannabis cultivation and transformational technologies to redefine the cannabis industry. It is replacing traditional water-compatible solutions with true natural water solubility. This improves the body’s ability to use cannabinoids and makes the effect of cannabis almost instantaneous. . . . The APP technology maintains stability without altering cannabis compounds. Additionally, the technology provides offset and onset times that mirror the effects as inhaled marijuana (http://nnw.fm/pA0Tp). The technology permits quick onset of bio-availability and effects within five minutes, versus the 45–120 minutes typically found with oil-based delivery methods. The output/removal of effects results in fast offset of between 60 and 90 minutes (http://nnw.fm/1G2rt). These factors meet the demands of consumers who are increasingly choosing beverages and oils over smoking (inhalational dosing).”

420 with CNW – Demand for Medical Cannabis Skyrockets on Rhode Island

April 4, 2019 03:20:48

As legislators on Rhode Island are thinking about legalizing recreational cannabis, the data on medical cannabis sales shows that the volume of products sold is setting state records year by year.

Currently, the state has three licensed dispensaries selling medical cannabis products. These dispensaries are on course to sell medical cannabis products worth about $56 million during the 2019 fiscal year.

If that target is hit, it will mark a 46.6 percent increase from the total sales of the previous fiscal year (2018). Medical cannabis sales for 2018 were also approximately 33.3 percent higher than what was registered in 2017.

As you can see, the medical cannabis industry on Rhode Island seems to be growing at an unstoppable pace year by year.

Rhode Island has a fairly short list of medical cannabis qualifying conditions when compared to other states where similar programs exist. However, the definition of those conditions is broad and it allows anyone with the symptoms of the listed conditions to access medical cannabis.

The state has about 18, 200 patients who are active on the medical marijuana program. Active patients are those who regularly buy medical cannabis products from the licensed dispensaries.

The uptick in medical cannabis sales has given the state a much-needed boost to its revenue. For example, the state earned $2.75 million as taxes on various aspects of the medical cannabis industry.

In this fiscal year, the state expects to earn almost double what it earned during the last fiscal year. Projections indicate that the state will collect about $5.4 million in taxes from the medical cannabis industry.

In the meantime, there are proposals to legalize recreational cannabis and also expand the medical cannabis sector. One of the proposals seeks to increase the number of dispensaries to nine.

Previous attempts to increase the number of dispensaries have been successfully resisted by the existing three dispensaries who argued that bringing in more players would hurt their businesses and result in possible closures.

However, those who want more dispensaries to be licensed argue that patients aren’t having sufficient access to dispensaries since the existing ones aren’t equally spread out across the state. Additionally, the lack of robust competition in the medical cannabis sector has denied patients competitive prices and access to a broader variety of products.

Advocates are therefore asking regulators to give priority to dispensaries that wish to operate in areas where none currently exists, and new operators should be brought on board before the existing ones are allowed to open additional compassion centers (medical cannabis dispensaries).

These reforms seem reasonable enough, and the regulators would be well advised to act upon the suggestions made. Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) hope that the state will act on the proposed reforms so that patients can have easier access a wider variety of products at competitive prices.

420 with CNW – Cuomo Insists Recreational Weed Will Be Legal By June

April 3, 2019 15:20:03

When the $17 billion state budget was adopted without marijuana policy reflected in it, cannabis advocates were crestfallen because they realized that their dream of seeing marijuana legal for adult-use had just taken a major hit. However, Governor Andrew Cuomo has vowed that he will do everything possible to pass the law by June when the legislative session ends.

The Governor said that the problem wasn’t the lack of political will to pass the law. Rather, there were differing opinions regarding the way in which legalization would be implemented in the state.

Because of those differing views on implementation, it wasn’t possible to reach an agreement on the matter while getting a budget ready for adoption. Now that the budget is out of the way, Cuomo feels that his full attention can now be devoted to hammering out the details of how recreational cannabis will be taxed, regulated and social justice attained.

Many lawmakers aren’t as optimistic as the Governor regarding the chances of the bill now that it isn’t included in the budget. For example, State Sen. Diane Savino points to what happened in neighboring New Jersey where marijuana advocates thought they had a done deal but voting on the legalization bill was cancelled due to fears that not enough “yes” votes had been secured in the State Senate.

That sobering example from New Jersey shows how tough things could get in New York State now that marijuana policy wasn’t included in the state budget.

It should also be remembered that out of the 10 states and Washington, D.C. that have legalized recreational pot, only one did so by legislative means. All the other states relied on ballot measures or referenda to legalize recreational cannabis.

This statistic shows that the general populace is always ahead of the lawmakers who have the responsibility to make decisions on behalf of the people that they represent.

It is therefore going to be a great deal harder for a majority of the lawmakers in New York State to pass a standalone marijuana legalization bill.

Already, there was intense opposition even while there was a chance that marijuana legalization would be included in the state budget. For example, the leaders in two of the New York suburbs with the largest population have already indicated that the sale of recreational cannabis will not be allowed in those jurisdictions.

TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) and Vivo Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) hope that the lawmakers can put aside their political differences and put the interests of New Yorkers first when discussing the way forward on marijuana legalization.

420 with CNW – Ontario Marijuana Stores Open as Fines Loom

April 3, 2019 03:20:16

When recreational marijuana was legalized across Canada on October 17, 2018, Ontario decided to start by only availing cannabis through a website run by the provincial government. Brick-and-mortar stores were slated to open in April this year, and yesterday (April 1) was the first day of storefront sales.

The provincial government decided to use an unconventional way to select which applicants would be granted the first 25 recreational cannabis retail licenses early this year. It used a lottery to select the lucky 25 businesses to be first to open retail stores. Originally, the plan was to license as many retailers as needed.

However, the persistent countrywide supply shortages compelled the government to change its plan and issue only 25 licenses in preparation for the April 1 deadline for the commencement of brick-and-mortar retail sales of pot.

The entities that participated in the lottery were fully aware that the licenses they received were subject to strict conditions, such as being ready to open by April 1.

Those that didn’t open their stores on that first day would face a fine of $12,500, and the fines would escalate the longer the business didn’t open. This penalty would be deducted from the $50,000 letter of credit that the applicants submitted as part of the preconditions for participating in the lottery.

If a licensee is unable to start operations by this month’s end, that business risks losing the entire $50,000 covered by that letter of credit.

That threat is likely to hit several businesses, since only 10 were able to fulfill all the licensing conditions in order to open on April 1. The race is therefore on for the remaining 15 businesses to reduce the fines that they will suffer as a result of their inability to open on the first day of storefront sales.

Meanwhile, Ontario residents have been waiting eagerly for the retail stores to open. This can be evidenced by the hundreds who started queuing as early as 4 a.m. in order to be among the first to buy pot in a “real store”.

Why would one sacrifice their sleep and yet recreational marijuana is already available online in the province? Each person has his or her own reasons, but a few seem to cut across.

For example, many are excited and want to be witnesses to the making of history in the province. To such people, the experience of walking into a store and paying for cannabis is something that truly marks the end of prohibition, and they wanted to experience it firsthand.

Many other people say that they are lining up at the stores because it gives them a better shopping experience. For instance, one can smell a product before deciding whether to buy it, something that isn’t possible when you order online. Stores also give you a chance to get up close and personal with the different products before you take your pick of what is available. This is worth lining for, they say.

ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) and Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) hope that the residents of Ontario can enjoy buying from these retail outlets without being hindered by supply shortages.

420 with CNW – 50 Marijuana Dispensaries in Michigan Get Temporary Reprieve in Court

April 2, 2019 15:20:36

On Thursday last week (March 28), Judge Stephen Borrello of the Michigan Court of Claims issued a temporary order stopping the state from implementing its decision to close down any medical marijuana dispensary that hadn’t received its license by March 31.

The restraining order gives the businesses in question another 14 days within which to get their operations legalized in accordance with the licensing requirements of the state.

For long, players in the Michigan medical marijuana industry have been complaining that the state takes an inexplicably long time to process and issue a license to an applicant. This slow bureaucratic pace has affected growers, manufacturers and dispensing outlets.

For example, in early February alone, about 150 dispensaries were still awaiting the outcome of their applications for licenses. Similarly, 130 prospective medical cannabis cultivators were also awaiting the fate of their applications for grow licenses.

Because of those complaints, the state decided to allow medical cannabis businesses to open while their applications were still being processed.

However, the state eventually set deadlines for all unlicensed dispensaries to close, but these deadlines have either been unilaterally postponed by the regulators or courts have intervened and forced the state’s hand.

This recent extension is an example of the judiciary stepping in and compelling the state to refrain from implementing its decision to close medical marijuana businesses without licenses.

In response to the restraining order issued by the Court of Claims, the state published a statement in which it revealed that it will hit the brakes on its decision to close unlicensed medical cannabis businesses until court issues further orders or the pending litigation is disposed of by the courts of law.

In a bid to put an end to the endless delays in the licensing process, the Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, has established a new agency to superintend over the marijuana industry.

The persistent problems over licensing issues have also come to a head as the state is working to start recreational cannabis sales after voters approved adult-use marijuana during the midterm elections towards the end of last year.

Cannabis advocates worry that if the problems in the medical cannabis sector aren’t fixed in time, then those problems will get worse once recreational cannabis is added to the menu. Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) and Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) call on the regulators to study what other states have done to streamline the licensing process. Creating new agencies to oversee the industry may not fix the problem if a proper diagnosis of the issues isn’t done.

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.

Recreational marijuana has been legal in Colorado since 2012, but the people who buy legal pot have been having a hard time finding where they can consume their purchase. This is now set to change if a bill that has been approved by a House Committee eventually gets the nod from the entire State Assembly and Senate.

Under current law, recreational cannabis can only be consumed in private residences and private establishments. The ban on public and open consumption of cannabis remains in place even if the law legalizing recreational cannabis intended to regard recreational cannabis in the same way that alcohol is treated by the law.

In the past, all efforts to create a system by which the social consumption of marijuana could be licensed have failed. However, the sponsors of HB 1230 feel that the time may now be right for an enabling to law to be enacted so that businesses can get licenses for the social consumption of marijuana on their premises.

Representative Jonathan Singer, the sponsor of the bill, says that his intention is to fix two major issues in the law.

First, his bill will provide more clarity about the meaning of “open and public” so that cannabis businesses and consumers can know the limits of where cannabis consumption is allowed or not. Currently, marijuana seems to be in no man’s land on this issue, he added.

By defining what “open and public” means, it will be possible to license premises where tourists and residents can consume recreational marijuana. This is especially important because many people who live in rented premises cannot consume recreational cannabis at home because the landlords don’t permit its consumption on the premises.

HB 1230 seeks to create two kinds of licenses that businesses can apply for in order have cannabis users consume their stuff in the premises.

The first kind of license will enable consumption lounges and other public places to have a limited amount of cannabis that people can buy and consume while in the premises.

The second type of license wouldn’t allow on-site cannabis sales, but people can come in with their own cannabis and consume it from those premises.

However, any business that is licensed to sell or facilitate the consumption of alcohol wouldn’t be eligible for any of the cannabis social consumption licenses. Under the proposed law, local authorities would also have the right to decide whether to permit or ban cannabis consumption lounges and other such facilities within their jurisdictions.

Now that the bill has passed the first hurdle in the Business Affairs and Labor Committee of the House, it now heads to the House Finance Committee. The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and Therma Bright, Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) hope that this bill is enacted into law so that the dilemma of where people can consume legal weed in Colorado can be solved sooner rather than later.

420 with CNW – Congressional Committee Approves Marijuana Banking Bill

April 1, 2019 15:20:31

On Thursday last week (March 28), the House Financial Services Committee voted to pass a bill that will make it easier for cannabis businesses to access banking services. The bill will now be scheduled for consideration by the entire House after it passed at the committee level when 45 legislators voted in favor while 15 voted against the bill.

Marijuana advocates see this committee action as a sign that the Democrats who dominate the House are finally making good on their support for cannabis law reform.

The bill seeks to make it possible for marijuana businesses to get access to banking services without any fear of federal action against them. Some of these businesses are working with some banks, but the majority of the financial services providers are reluctant to accept cannabis businesses as clients for fear of violating federal money laundering or illicit drug laws.

The SAFE Act was passed after being debated for several days in which a number of amendments were considered and either passed or rejected when a vote on them was called.

For example, one amendment sought to compel the federal government to conduct research on inclusion and diversity in the cannabis industry so that the damage caused by the war on drugs on minorities can be corrected.

Another amendment that was included in the bill added insurance companies to the list of entities that would be protected by the SAFE Act. It should be remembered that cannabis businesses have also been finding it hard to access insurance services that are vital for any business. If the bill becomes law, then marijuana companies will be able to access insurance services in the same way that other legitimate businesses can.

Another amendment added will compel the Government Accountability Office to study the reports banks are required to file about the marijuana businesses they have as clients. This examination is intended to find out how effective those reports are in helping the authorities to unearth illegal activity.

Those reporting requirements have previously been mentioned as one of the major reasons why it is very expensive for cannabis businesses to access banking services even when some banks are willing to accept these businesses as clients.

One proposed amendment tabled by a Republican legislator wanted to delay the implementation of the SAFE Act until the federal government rescheduled marijuana. Sensing that the amendment wouldn’t pass, the mover withdrew it before it could be voted on.

Many of the amendments that were rejected were mainly proposed by Republicans who wanted to cleverly water down the impact of the proposed law or even render it unenforceable. But the Democrats used their majority on the committee to sidestep all those traps.

Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) and The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) (OTC: FLWPF) are glad that Congress is finally acting to enact laws that bring U.S. cannabis businesses into the fold of all other legitimate businesses across the country.

NetworkNewsAudio – SinglePoint, Inc. (SING) Establishes a Foothold within the Automotive Industry

April 1, 2019 14:52:19

Related Editorial
Technology is transforming the automotive industry.

  • Data is changing vehicle manufacturing and the way customers buy.
  • Connectivity is transforming the relationships between customers and their vehicles.
  • New technology such as blockchain provides alternative approaches to existing issues.
  • The change affects the whole sector, from manufacturing and maintenance to sales.

Some of the innovation feeds off ideas from other industries, such as the vehicle repair app created by SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) (SING Profile). Some of it is focused on sales, as is the case for CDK Global Inc. (NASDAQ: CDK) and its dashboard to help with sales. There are innovations for specific market sectors, such as the truck data-gathering work headed by IHS Markit Ltd. (NASDAQ: INFO)Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) may be working on some of the highest profile changes, with its work on electric cars leading to record-breaking sales, but it’s the quieter work of companies such as AutoWeb Inc. (NASDAQ: AUTO) that is reaching into every corner of the market, as technology transforms the auto sales environment.

April 1, 2019 13:07:01

With its grand European tour set for summer, HODL Rally is following a rite of passage that celebrates the best of what Europe has to offer. For eight days, 100 supercars will cruise 1,800 miles through five countries – England, France, Monaco, Spain and Switzerland – offering marketers a nonpareil opportunity to expose their brands to populations in eight cities.

HODL Rally is set to take off from Pall Mall in Central London with fanfare and, quite possibly, pomp and circumstance, which Brits find hard to resist. It will cross into France by ferry at Calais, follow a course from Paris to Geneva, and then head to the south side of France for a celebration in Cannes. A two-day hiatus is planned for the Blockchain Summit on July 4-5 at Barcelona’s W Hotel. Then it’s on to Valencia for bull fighting, followed by the leg to Denia on the coast of the Mediterranean. The blockchain cavalcade climaxes on the island of Ibiza, with a beach takeover, a fashion show with Adam Saaks and a VIP super yacht party.

The glamour and glitter of the HODL motorcade and its associated events offers marketers a unique platform to enhance the awareness of their brands. Each car in this promotional passing parade will be emblazoned with the logos and…

420 with CNW – Michigan Commission Advises the State to Avoid Setting THC Impairment Limit for Drivers

April 1, 2019 03:20:14

The Impaired Driving Safety Commission, a body that was set up by Michigan’s Governor, has recommended that the state should not set any threshold for the THC content in someone’s blood before that person is regarded as being impaired while driving.

This six-member panel was mandated to find a scientifically-backed limit for THC in blood and suggest what provisions should be put in the law to define when a driver is impaired by cannabis.

The members of the commission include a toxicologist, a law enforcement officer, a medical cannabis patient, doctors and cannabis use and traffic experts.

This panel wrote in its report that there was no scientific information upon which they could base a decision on how much THC in someone’s blood renders that person impaired while driving.

Additionally, the commission stated that there wasn’t any correlation between the amount of THC present in a driver’s blood and driving impairment.

The members also observed that according to the research they reviewed, the THC content in someone’s blood drops rapidly shortly after the person consumes cannabis. Conversely, impairment increases slowly and reaches its peak long after THC levels have dropped in that individual’s blood.

The issue of impairment is also affected by someone’s history of cannabis consumption. For example, a non-regular user of cannabis may become impaired after taking a small amount of marijuana.

However, a more regular user may require a larger dose of the substance in order to be impaired to the same degree as the individual who is an irregular user and consumed a little cannabis. Consequently, the commission recommended that the THC level in someone’s blood was a poor determinant of whether that person was driving while impaired.

The panel then suggested that roadside sobriety tests should be used as a more reliable way to determine if a given driver is impaired or not. This suggestion brings to mind the sobriety tests that are administered to drivers who are suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol.

How then can a police officer distinguish between impairment due to alcohol and impairment due to cannabis consumption? A blood test administered once a person fails the sobriety tests can help to distinguish between impairment caused by cannabis and that caused by alcohol.

The findings of this commission bring to question the decision of the states that set a THC threshold to determine when a driver is impaired by cannabis.

For example, Colorado, Montana and Washington State put the threshold at 5ng/ml. Nevada put the limit at 2ng/ml while Pennsylvania set its limit at 1ng/ml. How were these limits arrived at?

Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4) and SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) applaud the commission for looking at the available scientific data and then making an objective decision without being influenced by what other states have done to define driving while impaired by cannabis.

420 with CNW – Mexican Government Official Uses Twitter to Measure Public Opinion on Cannabis Legalization

March 29, 2019 15:20:40

The Mexican Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection took to Twitter on Monday (March 25) to ask citizens to share their opinions regarding whether recreational cannabis should be legalized in the country or not. The cabinet official oversees the federal police, intelligence services and prisons.

Less than 24 hours after the poll was initiated, 81 percent of all the respondents said that adult-use marijuana should be legalized while 19 percent said that it shouldn’t be legalized. More than 82,000 people had participated in this survey by that time, so those percentages should not be taken lightly.

It wasn’t immediately clear what the intention of the government was in doing the survey, and it is not clear what they will use the findings for. Whatever their reasons, the social media poll can be seen as further proof that the federal government in Mexico is serious about reforming its marijuana laws.

Last year, one senator tabled a bill to legalize recreational marijuana in the country. That senator is now the Interior Secretary of the country.

Shortly afterwards, the Senate released a report listing the different aspects that lawmakers should keep in mind when drafting a bill to legalize recreational marijuana. These included product labeling, age-restrictions, modes of consumption to be allowed, THC limits, and so many others.

That report didn’t make any specific recommendations about what the law should stipulate. Instead, it outlined the different areas that the proposed legislation should cover. This report was based on what other jurisdictions around the world have looked at while drafting their own marijuana legalization laws.

It should also be remembered that in 2018, Mexican cabinet members visited Canada in order to talk to officials there about the Canadian recreational cannabis legalization program.

This cabinet visit took place shortly before the Supreme Court in Mexico made a ruling that it was unconstitutional to ban the consumption of marijuana by adults.

The Twitter poll may therefore be regarded as something that will further galvanize the lawmakers to discuss the legalization bill with the knowledge that the public is solidly in support of the legislation.

However, it should be noted that social media polls cannot in any way be seen as representative or scientific, so any findings collected from such a poll may not stand up to rigorous scrutiny. Nevertheless, the cannabis industry, including Sproutly Canada, Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) and Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) regard the poll by a cabinet member as a signal that robust discussions are taking place to decide what form cannabis legalization in Mexico takes.
