Senator Anthony Delcollo has introduced a bill in the state senate to change the law so that doctors will be free to decide which patient would be helped by medical marijuana instead of first checking whether that patient has a condition listed in the medical marijuana law.

Under the current law which was passed in 2011, patients can only qualify to get onto the medical marijuana program if they have one of the “debilitating conditions” such as terminal illnesses and cancer.

Delcollo argues that doctors undergo extensive training and have a lot of experience in the field. These professionals should be given the liberty to decide what is in the best interest of their patients, he says.

Senate Bill 24 is therefore intended to free doctors to use their discretion in determining whether medical cannabis will provide “palliative or therapeutic benefit” to patients.

The senator argues that this wouldn’t be a new thing since doctors are already exercising their professional discretion to determine which pharmaceuticals on the market are most likely to be beneficial to their patients.

Medical cannabis advocates concur and say that the proposed change is long overdue. They add that it should have been part of the first law that legalized medical marijuana in the state in 2011.

The bill is also intended to ease the restrictions on the kinds of medical specialists that are authorized to recommend the use of medical cannabis by patients who are younger than 18. However, the change would not alter the current provision stating that patients who are less than 18 can only use cannabis oil and not any other form of medical marijuana.

Senate Bill 24 enjoys bipartisan sponsorship and support, so it is hoped that the lawmakers will debate it thoroughly and give it the nod.

If it passes, Delaware will join Oklahoma and Maine as the only states that give doctors such leeway in deciding who can or cannot be treated using medical marijuana.

It hasn’t been an easy journey for Delaware to get to this point. It should be recalled that there were endless delays in opening the compassion centers where patients could access medical cannabis. To date, only four such centers are operational in the state.

More recently, there were plans to legalize recreational marijuana legislatively. More than a year was taken to debate the bill and when a vote was called, the bill was defeated by just four votes in June last year. No other recreational marijuana bill has yet been tabled during this legislative session.

Be that as it may, Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE), Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP) and the entire investment community are hoping that this time round, appropriate legislation improving the medical cannabis environment is passed so that all interested parties, such as patients, can benefit.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Spectrum Global Solutions Inc. (SGSI) Preparing to Catch the Wave of the Impending 5G Tsunami

March 13, 2019 14:37:40

Leading telecommunications engineering and infrastructure services provider Spectrum Global Solutions (OTCQB: SGSI), through an upcoming strategic merger with WaveTech Global Inc. and rebranding under the name WaveTech Global, is positioning itself to offer more comprehensive solutions and increased profit from the projected billions to be spent on 5G mobile infrastructure. A recent article discussing this reads, “With a name like WaveTech, the company is signaling its preparedness for the impending 5G tsunami, as telecommunications carriers hurriedly upgrade their cellular networks. For starters, fifth-generation (‘5G’) cellular networks hold the promise of much faster data transmission speeds. While current 4G LTE has a peak speed of 1 GB per second, 5G promises to zip around 20 times faster at 20 GB per second. Internet speeds pale in comparison (http://nnw.fm/1Ga91), as the ‘average U.S. fixed broadband download speed was 64.17 Mbps (15th in the world) in the first half of 2017, while the average upload speed was 22.79 Mbps (24th in the world).’ 5G speed will also be enabled through the use of higher frequency radio bands. Generally, 4G LTE technology can only operate at up to 6 GHz, but 5G will utilize frequencies between 30 GHz and 300 GHz. A corollary to faster data transfer is larger data transfer. More channels (frequencies) means less traffic on any one channel.”

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Individuals hoping to gain exposure to the movement of the markets have two primary options: spend a lot of time and effort researching public companies, or put faith into a fund. A solid investment strategy is key to keeping pace with inflation and reaching your financial goals, but the significant risk and volatility that can come with investing in a small group of companies is a real turn-off for most part-time investors.

Increasingly, novices and seasoned traders alike are turning to mutual funds for their stability and ease of use. According to data from the Investment Company Institute, mutual funds were the most common type of investment company owned in 2018, with 44.8 percent of U.S. households owning shares of mutual funds or similar U.S.-registered investment companies – including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), closed-end funds and unit investment trusts.

420 with CNW – Georgia House Votes to Allow Medical Cannabis Oil

March 13, 2019 04:20:58

The Georgia House of Representatives voted last week (March 5) and passed a bill intended to regulate the manufacture and sale of medical marijuana oil. This bill now goes to the state senate for consideration before it becomes law.

The existing regulations in Georgia don’t allow the cultivation, manufacture or sale of cannabis oil, and this has left patients using medical marijuana in the state with no source of cannabis oil even if the laws allow the use of that oil as long as its THC content doesn’t exceed 5 percent.

House Bill 324 is geared at changing that so that patients who enroll on the medical cannabis program can access medical cannabis oil.

Once the bill is enacted into law, the 8,400 patients who have so far registered in the medical cannabis program of the state will be able to buy cannabis oil from one of the 60 medical marijuana dispensaries in the state.

Allan Powell, the Republican chair of the committee that initially considered the bill before sending it to the entire House for a vote, said that he was happy that a legal avenue was being created for qualifying patients to access marijuana oil.

He added that it was hypocritical to pass a law stipulating what kind of cannabis oil patients should use yet no mechanism was put in place to make it possible for patients to access that oil.

House Bill 324 sets the bar high for companies that would like to participate in the medical cannabis industry of the state. For example, large companies will have to pay $150,000 for a license while smaller companies will have to fork out $37,000. It will cost $30,000 to get a license to operate a medical cannabis retail business.

Renewing those licenses will not be any easier either. The fees for this range between $10,000 and $50,000. The businesses had better attract a large volume of sales if they are to thrive despite these high license acquisition and renewal fees.

Meanwhile, the bill still has opposition outside the chambers of the lawmakers. For example, the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association led by Terry Norris has described the bill as something that will take the state down a dangerous and treacherous path that may end into kids using marijuana while adults will eventually switch from cannabis to more dangerous drugs.

Such scaremongering isn’t new, but it may amount to nothing since even the Governor has promised to sign the law once it is passed by the senate. Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) and ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) hope that the legislation will be passed and implemented expeditiously so that patients and investors don’t have to wait any longer than is necessary for them to access medical cannabis oil or the opportunities the industry offers.

420 with CNW – The UN Announces Yet Another Delay of its Cannabis Reclassification Vote

March 12, 2019 16:20:36

First, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) delayed and postponed the release of its recommendations after an expert committee studied proposals for the reclassification of cannabis in international treaties. Now, yet another delay has hit that activity and the UN has announced that the March sitting of the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, and the one in December this year, will not have marijuana reclassification on its agenda.

The recommendations of WHO had initially been scheduled to be voted on in December last year, but this was inexplicably postponed.

Some of the 53 members of the Narcotic Drugs Commission reportedly claimed that they needed additional time to study the recommendations made by the World Health Organization before they can decide how to vote when a vote is called.

Other members, such as Uruguay and Norway, were disappointed that no timeline was set for when the recommendations will be considered and voted upon. There are fears that the matter may be put on the backburner for an indefinite amount of time, for political reasons.

The recommendations were widely seen as a way for many countries to be free to embark on medical cannabis research and legalization, with others taking it a step further and decriminalizing adult-use marijuana.

The WHO had recommended that whole-plant marijuana and its resin should be removed from the strictest category (Category 4) of the 1961 International Drug Convention and placed in a less restrictive category.

To put this into perspective, the U.S. system of categorizing controlled substances is different from that of the UN. For example, in the U.S., Schedule 1 is reserved for the substances that deserve the strictest controls and the restrictions reduce as the schedule number gets bigger. This is unlike the UN where the smaller numbers have fewer restrictions while the bigger numbers, such as Category 4, have more stringent restrictions.

Meanwhile, as the UN is still playing hide and seek regarding its position on the calls for marijuana rescheduling, Europe is taking a different path. The EU Parliament approved a resolution calling on member states to avail support and funding for medical cannabis research. While the decision isn’t binding, it could pave the way for widespread research and legal reforms in EU member countries. This will leave the U.S. further behind in the rapidly evolving cannabis industry.

Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) and Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) call on the UN to stop dragging its feet and make the decision for which the world has been waiting.

NetworkNewsBreaks – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Positioned to Profit as Increasing Adoption of EVs Drives Lithium Demand

March 12, 2019 13:20:45

British Columbia-based company Quantum Minerals (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) engages in the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties with a focus on lithium extraction. The increasing demand for lithium from battery makers, which is forecasted to surge over the coming years, could significantly benefit the company. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Demand for lithium stemming from lithium-ion battery manufacturers increased by 46 percent in 2017 and is anticipated to nearly double to 83 percent by 2027 (http://nnw.fm/0qCBr). A Roskill market outlook report says that ‘beyond 2021, the research firm expects lithium prices to rise above 2018 levels again as continued demand growth’ will contribute to the depletion of the currently available resources. Prices in 2019 are expected to briefly fall back from 2018 levels, mainly due to oversupply, with a bottom floor of $11,000 per ton of battery-grade lithium carbonate, but they are forecast to bounce back and surpass the rates reported last year. Lithium hydroxide prices have stayed steady at $15,000–$18,000 per ton.”

420 with CNW – THC may be More Therapeutic than CBD, Study Finds

March 12, 2019 04:20:25

From the reports in the media and what people discuss, one is led to believe that CBD (cannabidiol) contains all the medicinal benefits in the cannabis plant while THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) symptomizes everything that is bad about cannabis since it is psychoactive. However, the findings of a recent study may turn this popular belief on its head.

According to a study whose findings appeared in the Scientific Reports Journal, THC seems to have a higher link with the relief of disease symptoms when compared to CBD.

The researchers from the University of New Mexico studied the data provided by medical cannabis users in the U.S. regarding various aspects of the medical cannabis that they consumed. The ReLeaf app allows patients to indicate various things, such as what they are suffering from, what marijuana strains they are consuming, how they are consuming that marijuana and what effects they notice after consuming medical cannabis.

The researchers looked at the data and found that the patients who used marijuana strains that had higher levels of THC when compared to the CBD content reported superior symptom relief unlike those patients whose medical marijuana had low levels of THC and higher levels of CBD.

Sarah See Stith, one of the co-authors of the research commented that their study was important in light of the fact that not enough information is given to patients when they want to try medical cannabis for their conditions.

Stith pointed out that almost all patients get a recommendation from a doctor and are on their own in terms of selecting the products to use. Some of those patients rely on their prior experience when they used to consume recreational marijuana. Others talk to family and friends while some go to the internet to educate themselves about medical cannabis. The staff at medical cannabis dispensaries are often poorly trained, so they cannot be relied upon to give dependable advice on the appropriate medical cannabis products for patients.

Stith thinks that their research findings can help to initiate a discussion and further research into how cannabis works to treat or provide symptomatic relief.

This research is also important because it comes at a time when the U.S., the UN and other international bodies are on the verge of deciding whether to reschedule cannabis or leave it in the most restrictive categories of the national/international treaties controlling narcotic substances.

Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) and Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) welcome this research and hope that those findings will be considered by those who formulate cannabis policies and regulations in Washington.

420 with CNW – The NFL Could Change its Cannabis Rules

March 11, 2019 16:20:55

According to recent media reports, the National Football League (NFL) may be considering changing its substance abuse rules with regard to marijuana. Analysts expect that the NFL may try to use any changes that it makes to its marijuana rules as a negotiating chip during its talks with the NFL players’ union.

A former offensive linesman, Kyle Turley, has also revealed that the NFL is studying the possibility of using cannabis as an alternative to pain killers. Research is being done by the NFL in this regard.

Kyle Turley owns a company that makes CBD supplements for athletes, so he can be expected to have an ear on the ground regarding the developments in the league, especially those developments that may impact his business either positively or adversely.

Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner, admitted in January that he had talked to some players’ representatives about marijuana. He added that the medical advisers of the league constantly look at the new research and the available data regarding the effects of cannabis on the players and advise accordingly.

In the past, Goodell was unequivocal in his opposition to the consumption of marijuana in the league. For example, in 2017, the Commissioner told ESPN that ingesting smoke (cannabis) couldn’t in any way be good for an NFL player.

However, recent times have seen a decline in the vigor that the league deploys to enforce its policy on marijuana even if some players have been suspended for testing positive for the substance. Those players were given a chance to return to the league yet previously one would be out for good.

While the news that the NFL may be thinking about changing its policy on cannabis may be good, industry advocates are wondering what the Commissioner and his team have up their sleeves. For example, what kind of concessions do they want to squeeze out of the players’ union in return for altering the policy on cannabis?

What these advocates had expected were statements to the effect that the NFL regrets any past actions that may have driven players into opioid addiction yet cannabis would have saved them and kept them playing. This is exactly what is happening in the states that are legalizing recreational cannabis. There is an admission that the war on drugs meted out untold suffering on sections of the population, and that legalization wants to put that past behind.

VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) and other industry players like Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) hope that the NFL changes its cannabis policy for the right reasons, instead of using it as a tool to manipulate the players.

NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company, will serve as a silver level sponsor of the event. Several NNW team members will attend the small-cap growth conference, which will consist of company presentations, Q&A sessions, one-on-one meetings and panels, providing attendees the opportunity to interact with executive management and gain insight into various businesses. “We have heard from both companies and investors that they get more value from the 1-on-1 meetings and casual interaction at our conference, rather than providing a canned presentation that is delivered several times a year at other conferences. So, this year we are reducing the company presentations, and giving more time for 1×1 meetings, supplemented by more informal panel presentations and fireside chats with our research analysts,” ROTH CEO Byron Roth stated in the news release.

All panels will be available on the conference website at http://www.wsw.com/webcast/roth33

March 11, 2019 11:30:24

The cannabis sector is set for exponential growth in the years to come, which has driven numerous companies to initiate large-scale production; the scope, however, is far less important than the cost-efficiency of the process

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) Creates Moat around Flagship CBD Product with US Patent

March 11, 2019 10:28:21

Marijuana Company of America receives patent for hempSMART Brain

Warren Buffett, ‘the Oracle of Omaha’, famously said, “A truly great business must have an enduring ‘moat’ that protects excellent returns on invested capital.” By a moat, the legendary investor meant some competitive advantage that would sustain the enterprise by protecting its market from rival firms. A patent, like the one issued to Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA), can work just as well, he said (http://nnw.fm/8ZzVK).

A patent stops others from counterfeiting products or manufacturing replicas and knockoffs. It is particularly essential when the stakes are high, as they are in the U.S. hemp-based product market, which is forecast to approach…

CNW HOLDS NO SHARES OF ANY COMPANY NAMED IN THIS RELEASE.

420 with CNW – Medical Cannabis Bill Passed by Key Kentucky Committee

March 11, 2019 04:20:26

The House Judiciary Committee in Kentucky voted on Wednesday (March 6) to pass a bill that would legalize medical cannabis in the state. The bill will now be sent to the Rules Committee of the Assembly.

House Bill 136 was co-sponsored by 43 members out of the 100 members in the entire lawmaking chamber. This bill intends to create a Department for Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Control. This agency will then design a medical cannabis program for the state.

The agency will also be responsible for giving medical marijuana licences to patients who meet the criteria for such a licence. Healthcare providers, processors, cultivators and dispensaries will also be regulated by this agency.

16 legislators on the House Judiciary Committee voted in favor of the bill while one lawmaker voted against it.

Opinion polls in the state show that 80 percent of all adults think that it is okay to allow patients to have the option of using medical cannabis if their doctors recommend it. Governor Matt Bevin has also expressed his support for medical marijuana.

Despite that support from the public and the Governor, attempts to legalize medical marijuana in the state still have major hurdles to overcome.

For example, Robert Stivers, the Senate President, has been vocal in opposing medical cannabis. He even went as far as comparing it to alcohol, saying that anyone who wanted to feel better or relax can take a glass or bourbon instead of consuming medical marijuana.

The Kentucky Medical Association is also adamant that it will only support medical cannabis legislation once the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves the use of medical marijuana.

The sponsors of this legalization bill are aware of this strong opposition and made a number of modifications to the bill in order to build some consensus around it.

For example, the original bill had provisions that would allow patients enrolled on the medical marijuana program to grow a maximum of six mature plants for their own use. This was dropped from the bill.

Another change that was made regarded the qualifying conditions for which a patient could use medical marijuana. Originally, the framers of the bill had wanted doctors to use their discretion to decide which patient would benefit from medical cannabis. The bill was amended to create a specific list of conditions for which patients could be treated using medical marijuana.

It is now up to the Rules Committee to decide whether House Bill 136 can now be put before the entire House for a vote. A decision must be made quickly, since this legislative session only has five more days before it ends.

Therma Bright, Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) and TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) hope that the legislators make the best decision within the limited time left so that patients don’t have to wait longer for a treatment option that is already available in other states.

420 with CNW – The DEA Seeks Equipment to Distinguish Hemp from Marijuana

March 8, 2019 16:20:16

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency has published a notice asking interested parties to express interest in supplying it with equipment that can be used to determine whether a given cannabis plant is marijuana or federally legal hemp.

The notice that was issued last week indicated that such equipment was necessary since the 2018 Farm Bill made it federally legal to grow hemp but federal laws still consider marijuana to be an illegal substance/plant.

Note that hemp and marijuana are all cannabis plants, so one can only tell them apart by subjecting samples to tests for their THC content. U.S. federal law sets the maximum THC limit for hemp at 0.3 percent. Any cannabis plant with a higher THC content is marijuana, according to the current legal definition of those two plants.

The DEA wants to identify a supplier who has field kits that can help the agents of the law enforcement agency to tell those two plants apart.

The DEA is interested in procuring portable yet rugged equipment which will stand up to the harsh field conditions where rapid tests will be needed before a decision is taken to arrest possible offenders or impound a given consignment.

The agency also wants to buy the latest versions or models of such a product, and the number of units purchased will depend on how the equipment performs during its evaluation and what the needs of the agency will be at that time.

Why would the DEA need such equipment when the 2018 Farm Bill shifted matters of hemp to the Department of Agriculture?

It is true that the DEA falls under the Justice Department and they would ordinarily no longer be interested in matters to do with hemp. However, the DEA still has a mandate to enforce marijuana laws around the country, so the agency anticipates that it will encounter difficulties while trying to decide whether a given plant is hemp or marijuana. The test kits can help to clear the air when such a distinction is required.

The DEA has set a deadline of March 15 for interested companies to give it the information it needs to decide the details of the procurement process.

Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on the DEA to expedite the process of approving the companies that had applied to manufacture research-grade cannabis. Only Mississippi University is currently licensed to grow and process marijuana for research purposes, and its shortcomings have created the need for additional cultivators/manufacturers.

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) (OTC: FLWPF) and The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) applaud the foresight of the DEA in seeking testing equipment long before conflicts arise regarding what a given plant is during the law enforcement activities of the federal agency.

420 with CNW – Northern Michigan University Now Offers Marijuana Degree

March 8, 2019 04:20:20

Northern Michigan University has admitted its first lot of students for its medicinal plant chemistry degree program. The students will have a chance to major in marijuana. So far, 300 students from across the country have enrolled for this pioneer program.

Analysts predict that the legal marijuana industry will create nearly half a million jobs by 2022. Recent research shows that more than 211,000 jobs have already been created, so the half a million jobs projected by 2022 could even be an underestimate.

Northern Michigan University wants to do its part by preparing lab analysts, quality assurance directors, cannabis dispensary operators, cannabis master cultivators, and so many other professional-level jobs.

Many universities across the country, including in states where cannabis is still illegal, have added some form of training in the cannabis industry to their offerings. For example, Ohio State University and Harvard University have started training students in cannabis policy and law.

The program offered by Northern Michigan University is the first to get students a detailed training on cannabis from seed to sale. However, the students will not be working with cannabis directly.

Rather, they will study other plants like hemp and St. John’s wort. They will extract medicinal ingredients from these plants and analyze them in a lab. This training can easily be applied to cannabis.

Additionally, as part of their training, the Northern Michigan University students enrolled on the program will do internships at medical marijuana dispensaries. By the time they graduate at the end of the four-year program, the students will be ready to excel as employees or entrepreneurs in the marijuana industry.

Brandon Canfield, a professor of chemistry at Northern Michigan University, revealed that the idea of the program came to him when he was attending a cannabis event and heard industry players lamenting that they aren’t getting the skilled employees that they need.

That conference led Canfield to propose that the university starts a major in therapeutic plant chemistry, and the course was born. Canfield is convinced that the graduates of the program will have an easy entry into the cannabis industry, with some of them even earning more than $70,000 a year right after graduation.

Grace DeNoya, one of the pioneer students on the program, agrees that the cannabis industry offers opportunities that no other industry may be offering at the moment. Getting in now as the industry is just taking off promises to be an exciting prospect with huge opportunities in the years to come.

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) and Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) congratulate Northern Michigan University for being proactive and doing what they can to respond to the demand created by the cannabis industry.

420 with CNW – Facebook May Shift its Position on Marijuana

March 7, 2019 16:20:31

Cannabis businesses and those affiliated to the industry have grown used to waking up and finding that their Facebook pages have been deleted or suspended due to being flagged for carrying unacceptable content (read marijuana). However, this may soon change if the internal discussions going on within the platform bear the desired fruit.

The social media platform is reportedly thinking about amending its rules so that Facebook users can promote the cannabis products that they sell. The existing policies don’t permit the sale of marijuana and other controlled substances on the platform.

If the changes are made, the sale of medical and recreational marijuana products in jurisdictions that have legalized cannabis will be permitted by the social media giant.

One of the big issues that Facebook has to work out is how the platform can decide whether a Facebook page belongs to an entity that is legal within the jurisdiction where it is based or operates.

Another dilemma for the platform is how it can stop access to minors if legal businesses or entities are allowed to sell cannabis or its products on the platform. This issue is compounded by the fact that different jurisdictions define their own minimum age at which someone can use weed legally.

Facebook also has to think about how a policy shift regarding marijuana will be perceived by the users of the platform in the different regions of the world. For example, some regions are strongly opposed to cannabis, and these areas may pushback against the platform for allowing companies to promote or sell marijuana on Facebook.

The task of thinking through all these issues has been assigned to an internal working group. This group will propose new rules for the platform and assess how practical it will be to implement those new rules.

If the policy shift is approved and implemented by the social media giant, it will mark a paradigm shift for the platform that had for long punished marijuana-related pages with blocked searches or outright bans.

Last year, Facebook lifted its “moratorium” on cannabis the day Canada legalized recreational weed. Cannabis is widely sold online within Canada, so Facebook may have had no choice if it didn’t want to risk losing a significant portion of its users in that country.

Previously, the social media platform didn’t stop companies and organizations from opening cannabis-related pages. However, the platform enforced its restrictions on marijuana so rigorously that government cannabis regulatory agencies and policy advocates often found themselves locked out.

It remains to be seen what form the changed policy will take given that the company insists that it will not allow paid ads and other methods of promoting cannabis content on the platform. SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) and Sproutly Canada, Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) hope that Facebook wakes up to the changes in the world regarding cannabis and it stops putting unnecessary roadblocks to the industry.

The volume of contracts – $5.8 million – won by Spectrum Global Solutions Inc.

420 with CNW – Idaho Police to Procure Equipment That Distinguishes Cannabis from Hemp

March 7, 2019 04:20:34

A committee of the Idaho State Assembly has approved funding so that the state police can buy the equipment needed to test whether a given plant is industrial hemp or marijuana. This plan comes after the police seized a semitrailer carrying what the arresting officer thought was marijuana while the driver and his employer insisted that the consignment contained hemp.

The owner of the cargo, Big Sky Scientific, tried to get a court order to compel the police to release the cargo since it was deteriorating rapidly as the police continues with its investigations. The company argued that it was now legal to grow hemp and transport it across state lines from the time President Trump signed the Farm Bill 2018 into law.

However, court declined to issue the court order since the state didn’t have a law prescribing how hemp could be grown. Furthermore, the court could not be certain that Big Sky Scientific had grown its “hemp” in accordance with the Farm Act 2018.

This case has captured headlines within and outside Idaho because it serves as an eye-opener of the kind of situations that law enforcement agencies are likely to face now that hemp is legal while marijuana remains illegal at the federal level.

This confusion is likely to arise because there is no difference in the physical characteristics of hemp and cannabis. It is therefore possible for someone to attempt to transport cannabis across state borders while passing it off as hemp. It is also likely that hemp cultivators will face a lot of inconveniences as they jump through hoops to prove that what they are cultivating or transporting isn’t marijuana.

The procurement of the testing equipment was initiated by some lawmakers (not the police department) who felt that it was unsustainable to keep sending samples to Kentucky each time a seizure or arrest was made by the police. The argument of the lawmakers makes sense, because Big Sky Scientific stands to lose its cargo due to the delays created by having to conduct tests outside the state yet the crop is highly perishable and cannot retain its quality while the legal issues are sorted out.

For now, the entire Assembly has to approve the $240,000 funding request before the spending proposals go to the state Senate for approval. Only then can the money be released to procure and install the testing equipment in the police testing facility. Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) and Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4) call for the speedy procurement of the testing equipment so that additional problems can be avoided later on.

420 with CNW – The US Cannabis Industry Has So Far Created 211,000 Full-Time Jobs

March 6, 2019 16:20:04

Because marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, it isn’t possible to get accurate statistics about the jobs available in the industry from federal agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, Whitney Economics and Leafly.com decided to painstakingly gather the data from each state where cannabis is legal and their findings are eye-catching.

The data analysts discovered that so far, the legal cannabis industry has created 211,000 full-time jobs within the U.S. This shows that the industry is one to watch if the problem of unemployment is to be tackled.

The statistics collected show that out of the 211,000 full-time jobs created so far, 64,000 were filled in 2018 alone. Not bad for an industry that remains illegal at the federal level.

There is no indication that the increase in cannabis jobs is going to slow down any time soon. For example, 2017 saw a 21 percent increase in the number of jobs created in the industry while that number jumped to 44 percent in 2018. 2019 should show a higher rise in the percentage of new jobs created.

You may be wondering how the cannabis workforce increase compares to other sectors/industries. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, three industries are likely to have the highest increase in jobs over the coming ten years.

The demand for wind turbine technicians is expected to increase by 96 percent while the demand for solar voltaic installers is likely to increase by 105 percent. The need for home health care aides will rise by 47 percent. All these figures predict workforce increases over at least a decade. However, the data collected by Leafly and Whitney Economics shows that the marijuana industry will achieve a 110 percent increase in jobs created in just over three years!

The figures get even more astounding when they are broken down on a state-by-state basis. For example, Florida saw a 703 percent increase in the cannabis jobs created during 2018. New York ended 2018 with an extra 5,000 full-time jobs in the cannabis industry, marking an increase of 278 percent.

Five states (Oklahoma, California, Arkansas, Massachusetts and Florida) are currently in need of thousands of employees in the cannabis sector, and this demand may keep rising over the coming years as the industry matures. Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) and Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) welcome the research done by Leafly and its partners since this data proves that cannabis can bring huge economic benefits wherever it is legalized.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Global Payout, Inc. (GOHE) Provides Update on Form 10 Filing Status

March 6, 2019 10:44:35

Global Payout (OTC: GOHE) this morning provided an update on the status of its Form 10 filing and the progress it has made in a long sought-after objective of becoming a fully reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The company has been engaged in a full two-year audit of its financials in preparation for the filing of its Form 10 and its submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for review. The company has elected to include its fully audited 2018 financial report, along with the fiscal 2017 fully audited financial reports, with anticipated filing of its Form 10. Global Payout understands the decision to incorporate the 2018 financial report will extend the amount of time needed to successfully complete its financials for the Form 10, but is optimistic in its ability to submit the filing in a reasonable amount of time.

“We understand how eager and anxious many of our shareholders and those who have been following our story are to see this Form 10 officially filed,” Global Payout COO David Flores stated in the news release. “Over the past several months my team and I have been presented with the grueling task of not just getting the company through a full two-year audit, but also successfully launching and taking our flagship brand, MTrac, to market, another challenging feat in its own right. While we continue to do everything we can to file the Form 10 as expeditiously as possible, it is important to understand that we are not here to cut corners or skip steps in the interest of carelessly rushing this filing to the finish line. By nature, this is a very meticulous process, requiring full and fair disclosure, and we recognize how important it is to the future of our company, as well as everyone who has put their faith and trust in us, such as our valued shareholders and our hardworking and dedicated employees. While I will candidly admit that this process has far-exceeded the timeline we had initially established, I remain incredibly encouraged by the progress we continue to make every single day across all fronts of our company. From realizing revenue and seeing our MTrac brand spread across the Country, to the restructuring and fortification of our internal operations, I truly believe Global Payout is on the best path the company has ever been on, and I can only hope that those who believe in our story recognize this process and continue to hold tight.”

420 with CNW – Signature Gathering Slated to Start on Nebraska Medical Marijuana Ballot Measure

March 6, 2019 04:20:19

A petition that is intended to put medical marijuana on the ballot in 2020 has received approval from the Nebraska Secretary of State. This clears the way for the petitioners to start gathering signatures in order to have the ballot measure included among the issues to be voted on during the 2020 elections.

Medical marijuana activists, together with two state senators (Anna Wishart and Adam Morfeld) formed a committee last year to explore ways of getting voters to decide on the matter. This was after numerous attempts to legalize medical marijuana through legislative means failed. The senators involved in this petition are both Democrats.

The petition seeks to amend the constitution of Nebraska so that patients can be given a right to use, access, possess and safely use marijuana materials and products in order to alleviate serious medical conditions that a nurse practitioner or doctor regards as something that can be alleviated by the use of medical cannabis.

By law, petitioners are required to submit their petition to the secretary of state so that the wording of that petition can be approved. The advocates duly submitted their petition last month and it was approved on Friday last week (March 1).

Senator Morfeld announced that since the petition had been approved, plans to legalize medical cannabis in the state would now shift gears to the phase of collecting signatures in support of the petition.

That task of collecting signatures isn’t a small one given that the constitution stipulates that any petition must have the support (by way of signatures) of at least 10 percent of all the registered voters in the state.

Furthermore, the petitioners are required to collect signatures from a minimum of five percent of all the voters in at least 38 counties in the state (out of a total of 98 counties).

Senator Wishart has revealed that they will try to push for a legislative solution as they gather signatures for the ballot measure petition.

However, chances are slim for a bill legalizing marijuana to become law in the state. This is because Gov. Pete Ricketts (R) is determined to use his veto powers to block any law that seeks to legalize marijuana in the state. A ballot measure therefore seems the only realistic way to get medical marijuana legalized.

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) and MustGrow Biologics Corp. wish the petitioners all the best as they try to get medical cannabis legalized so that the patients in the state can have an extra treatment option for their medical challenges.

420 with CNW – This is How Much Recreational Pot Canadians Bought in 2018

March 5, 2019 16:20:26

If you were asked to make a random guess about how much weed Canadians bought (and presumably consumed) since recreational marijuana was legalized in October last year, what would you say? Well, Statistics Canada released recreational cannabis sales data and the figures are surprising, to say the least.

The statistics show that in October last year, Canadians bought recreational cannabis worth $32.7 million while November sales amounted to $40.4 million. In December, Canadians bought recreational cannabis products worth $41.9 million.

These figures are considered to be highly reliable because the Canadian marijuana market is highly regulated. You should therefore not doubt that the first three months of legal recreational pot resulted in total sales of $115 million. That is shocking, given all the hype that accompanied the lead up to legalization.

However, a number of factors may explain why annual recreational cannabis sales are likely to be far less than was predicted.

First, the persistent supply shortages have made it hard for all Canadian who would like to use weed to buy the substance as often as they would like. Without weed on the shelves, where would the sales come from? Many licensed producers predict that it may take years for them to ramp up their production to a level that can meet the current demand.

Secondly, Health Canada has also played a part in dampening the performance of the recreational cannabis sector. The regulator has been very slow in processing the applications for the different entities that would like to become licensed producers/cultivators of cannabis in the country. There are claims that Health Canada takes several months or even years to make a decision on an application. This sluggish way of conducting their business has made it hard for enough producers to be active in the country, hence the supply shortages.

Another reason for the low recreational cannabis sales has to do with a shortage of packaging and processing facilities. There are reports that harvested cannabis takes unnecessarily long to reach the shelves of retail outlets because the few processers licensed in the country cannot handle the volume of weed available for processing and packaging.

Not surprisingly, the packaging and processing problem also goes back to Health Canada who have been slow in issuing processing or packaging licenses to interested players.

Finally, the provinces may also have a role to play in the dismal sales statistics. For example, Ontario has only been selling recreational cannabis through the state-run online outlets. While there are plans to open offline stores, the current sale in online stores alone has reduced the potential sales that would have been made in the densely populated cities within the province.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) and Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) look forward to a speedy resolution of all the limiting factors above so that the Canadian cannabis industry can reach its full potential.

NetworkNewsBreaks – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Determined to Become a Leading Global Supplier of Lithium

March 5, 2019 15:54:57

Quantum Minerals (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) remains focused on developing significant resource properties, including its high-quality, lithium-bearing Irgon Lithium Mine project. A recent article discussing the company reads, “QMC’s 100-percent-owned flagship project is the Irgon Lithium Mine. This project is only 20 km north of Tantalum Mining Corporation of Canada’s (‘TANCO’) mine, which has been North America’s most successful lithium mine to date (http://nnw.fm/lVl2X). It is projected that the Irgon Lithium Mine will be the company’s first project to reach production. The Irgon Mine project consists of the spodumene-bearing Irgon Dike and a number of other known spodumene-bearing pegmatite dikes located within 22 contiguous mineral claims covering 11,235 acres. . . . QMC is expected to commence preliminary testing of lithium recoveries from a sample of the Irgon mineralization. This is the company’s next step leading toward a positive production decision following its recent successes in exploring for spodumene-bearing pegmatite dikes on its Irgon property.”
