Changing Attitudes in Washington Offer Promise for Hemp and Cannabis Market

October 24, 2018 08:00:16

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Legal changes could soon make transacting business easier for the cannabis industry.

  • Reports indicate that the president plans to reform cannabis laws, making commerce easier for businesses working in states with legal markets.
  • Reforming the law could improve the position of companies working with cannabidiol (CBD) as a food additive and industrial hemp.
  • Hemp and CBD are now large segments of the cannabis sector.
  • These anticipated legal changes are part of a wider international shift.

One of the companies that may benefit from changes in the United States is Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (MCOA Profile), which works primarily in cultivating industrial hemp and developing CBD products. Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), which has affiliates around the world, may use its global experience to adjust to changes in the United States. Research into cannabis by companies such as Cronos Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) will become easier, eventually improving product ranges and patient well-being. The legislative shift is also being encouraged by companies such as PotNetwork Holding, Inc. (OTC: POTN) through efforts at public and industry events. And as industry leaders such as Aphria, Inc. (OTC: APHQF) (TSX: APH) swallow up smaller companies, a stronger, consolidated sector is likely to…

A lot of cash is expected to flow when Ohio legalizes medical marijuana towards the end of 2018 or early next year. However, all that expected cash is causing serious concerns since financial institutions like banks and credit unions are reluctant to offer banking services to cannabis businesses.

The reluctance of the banking sector stems from the fact that the federal government still regards marijuana as an illegal substance. Consequently, money laundering and other federal charges could be imposed on any financial institution that does business with a cannabis enterprise (dispensary) that is legal at state level.

Ohio expects the medical marijuana sales to peak at about $300 million within the first year of legalization. Financial institutions are opting to forego all those deposits and other transactions just to be safe from the wrath of federal prosecutors.

This means that medical marijuana dispensaries will have to accept only cash from patients and then keep that cash to pay salaries, taxes and any other costs associated with the business. In the meantime, the cash will be lying around in safes, vaults, trash bags or any other container into which dispensary operators will decide to stash their revenues.

Such large amounts of cash will certainly pose a public safety and security hazard since cannabis businesses will become attractive targets for criminals who will be tempted to lay their hands on that money.

The dispensaries may have to install security cameras, steel doors and security guards to protect the premises from break-ins. However, the reality in other states where banking services aren’t available to cannabis businesses shows that those security measures aren’t always effective in deterring crime.

The state regulators are aware of the risks that cannabis dispensaries will face and numerous measures will have to be implemented by the businesses in order to ensure that employees and customers are safe.

For example, all dispensaries must install alarm systems which have to be activated once business hours end and the facility is closed. Round the clock camera surveillance is also mandatory, among other stringent security measures.

The signals coming from Washington aren’t making matters any easier. First, Attorney General Sessions cancelled a memo which had been written by the Treasury Department clarifying that financial institutions wouldn’t be prosecuted for offering banking services to cannabis businesses in states where legalization had taken place.

This difference between state and federal laws is certainly keeping companies like Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) and TransCanna on tenterhooks since each set of laws comes with its own list of complications.

420 with CNW – New Research Proves that there is More to Marijuana than THC and CBD

October 23, 2018 15:20:15

There is an assumption among marijuana consumers (for medical or recreational purposes) that the variations in the effects they get from the different cannabis strains are a result of variations in the THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) concentration in those strains. However, a new study has revealed that such a perception may not be a full reflection of what is going on.

The University of British Columbia-based researchers studied 33 strains of both Sativa and Indica strains of cannabis and found that there was little variation in their CBD or THC content.

However, the different strains varied widely in terms of the other cannabinoids that they contained. This finding raised the possibility that it is those other active ingredients which determine what therapeutic or psychoactive reaction a consumer will get when they consume a particular product.

Consumers need to know that cannabis has approximately 100 cannabinoids but regulations only require manufacturers to declare how much THC and CBD is present in a given product. The focus on THC and CBD may be based on the fact that those two active ingredients are the most plentiful in the cannabis plant.

However, as any lawyer will tell you, the devil is always in the details. The little-known cannabinoids could the real “heroes” of the effects that cannabis users experience.

More attention therefore needs to be focused upon understanding all the active ingredients in marijuana and how they affect a consumer.

The way cannabis strains are bred also needs to be formalized so that the scientific community can understand which strains contain which combination of active ingredients and which ones were lost during a breeding procedure.

The prohibitionist laws which have existed for long made it impossible for breeders to accurately document the lineage and characteristics of the different marijuana strains currently available. Consequently, it is possible that the same strain may have a different name based on the interests of the entity currently growing and marketing that variation of the same strain.

On the consumer side, the researchers advise that users educate themselves about the benefits of “whole plant medicine” instead of being lost in how this strain has this amount of THC or CBD when compared to another strain.

If the research achieved anything, that thing was showing the world how little is currently known about the composition, effects and uses to which marijuana can be put. You can bet that Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) and Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) are working to unravel the secrets marijuana has for the world.

GreenBox POS, LLC’s (GRBX) TrustGateway Blocks Fraud with Blockchain

October 23, 2018 10:49:16
  • Bankcard fraud to cross $6 billion in 2018
  • TrustGateway blockchain technology uses biometrics to block fraud
  • System under consideration by two major U.S. commercial banks

The maturation of ecommerce has been a boon to consumers everywhere, turning the world into one global marketplace. Now, though you live in America, you can order goods from China; you can shop on Amazon even though you live in the Himalayas (http://nnw.fm/QbL89). Naturally, such trade involves customer-not-present (CNP) transacting, which is providing great opportunity for fraud. CNP fraud accounts for 70 percent of card fraud (http://nnw.fm/JdBS2). For 2018, it is projected to reach $6.4 billion in the U.S. alone, which, perhaps, is why two major U.S. commercial banks and one of the largest payment infrastructural platforms in the country are taking a look at a novel solution offered by GreenBox POS, LLC (OTC: GRBX). The company has developed a payment gateway – TrustGateway – that blocks CNP fraud with blockchain technology. The gateway is a major component of the company’s QuickCard payment system and is proving to be highly efficient in preventing fraud on the GreenBox payment platform.

Buying online with a bankcard is generally a smooth, seamless process, but behind the scenes, there’s a lot going on, some of which involves a “payment gateway.” After a purchaser submits his or her debit or credit card information to a merchant online, the payment gateway sends that information, together with the…

  • QMC is in the process of expanding the historic reported resource estimate of 1.2 million tons prior to initiating production
  • Recent sample returned over 4.15 percent Li2O

420 with CNW – Analysts Predict the Medical Cannabis Industry Will Out-Earn the Recreational Market

October 23, 2018 03:20:19

While the world is still marveling at the bold step that Canada took to legalize recreational marijuana and the resources that the recreational market is likely to command with that legalization, analysts are suggesting that the real money is most likely to be made in the medical cannabis arena.

The medical cannabis market is predicted to be worth approximately $50 billion by 2025. This is a huge jump from what the value of the medical cannabis market was in 2017 (just over $8 billion).

The huge potential for the medical marijuana takes on a bigger positive outlook when one considers the rate at which several countries around the world are legalizing the medical use of cannabis.

The UK plans to allow doctors to start prescribing marijuana in November this year. Malaysia is working out how to permit the medical use of cannabis. Denmark and Luxembourg are also taking steps to legalize medical cannabis.

The rate at which the list of countries where medical marijuana is allowed is growing much faster than the rate at which recreational cannabis can be expected to be decriminalized around the world.

The stigma attached to recreational cannabis use is one of the major reasons why one would be well advised to put their money on medical cannabis instead of thinking of investing in the recreational marijuana sector.

It is significant that the FDA approved a marijuana-based drug in June for the treatment of childhood epilepsy. That was the first time that the U.S. agency approved a cannabis-based drug in a country where the federal government still looks at marijuana as a schedule 1 substance (substances with no medical use and a high likelihood of being abused).

Pharmaceutical companies have also been courting Canadian cannabis industries in order to discuss possible partnerships in developing the medical cannabis sector further. For example, the Canadian division of Swiss-based Novartis International AG has reached an understanding with Tilray Inc. to develop cannabis delivery systems and products jointly.

It should be noted that the pharmaceutical industry carefully weighs the prospects in a given sector before making a commitment. This is because lots of resources are usually invested in R & D before a product ever has a chance to reach the market.

The moves by pharmaceutical firms to partner with cannabis companies is therefore an indicator that the long-term prospects for medical cannabis are solid and major investments can be made into the sector. American marijuana companies like NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) and SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) can only pray that the regulatory climate in the U.S. improves quickly so that they aren’t left behind as the medical cannabis industry evolves rapidly.

420 with CNW – Alaska Decides to Modify Marijuana Taxes

October 22, 2018 15:20:32

The state of Alaska has decided to make some changes to the way it taxes marijuana. These changes were prompted by concerns raised by industry players regarding the lack of distinction between different kinds of cannabis buds.

The type of bud plays a role in the quality (and the price) of any products that are derived from that bud. The tax authorities haven’t been putting this into consideration, an oversight that made legal cannabis very pricey hence inadvertently promoting the black market.

Currently, each ounce of cannabis flower or bud is taxed $50 while trim (the rest of the plant) incurs a $15 tax per ounce. These taxes are paid by the grower as the produce is sent to a manufacturing facility or to a retail store where it is sold as dry bud or any other unprocessed form of the plant.

The new tax measures which will start being implemented on January 1, 2019 will see mature flower or bud incur an excise tax of $50 an ounce while the abnormal or immature flower will attract a $25 tax for each ounce. The rest of the plant will still be taxed at the same level as before, which is, $15 an ounce.

The planned tax changes will see three tiers of taxes for different kinds of marijuana. Many industry participants see these changes as insufficient and they are calling for wide ranging modifications.

However, those broader changes can only be made by the legislative arm of the state by modifying the law under which cannabis became legal in Alaska.

Conducting such extensive reforms would be a time-consuming process that would involve numerous steps, such as conducting hearings in order to gather views from the public and other stakeholders before the appropriate committee prepares a report to be voted on by all legislators.

Alaskans voted in 2014 to decriminalize recreational marijuana and that ballot measure took effect towards the end of February the following year.

Supply shortages compelled many marijuana retailers to close shop for a while in December 2016 and the first month of 2017. These businesses reopened once the shortages were fixed.

The existing tax policy was threatening to take some marijuana companies out of business and the limited changes being made are attempts to allow businesses to lock in some profits so that the industry can remain robust. Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) can only hope that all jurisdictions move to make the business environment more favorable to the players.

Vancouver-based Marifil Mines Ltd. (TSX.V: MFM) (OTCQB: MFMLF) is focused on precious metal and lithium exploration at its projects located in Argentina  – a land that is proving ripe with potential.  A recent article discussing the company reads, “In addition to the San Roque project, Marifil has more than 15,267 hectares (37,726 acres) of lithium-potential property in northern Argentina’s Puna grasslands, located within the ‘Lithium Triangle’, where that metal has been found in abundance. Additionally, its Las Aguilas property far to the south of the Puna in San Luis province comprises 359 hectares (887 acres) covering sulfide deposits featuring nickel, cobalt, copper and platinum — the biggest deposits for that combination of metals in the country. Further south yet, the company’s 37,384-hectare (92,378-acre) concession in Neuquen province contains extensive potash (a chloride salt of potassium) beds adjacent to where Vale (the world’s largest mining company) is extracting potassium by in-situ leaching from continuations of those same beds. Its properties in Mendoza province are adjacent to those in Neuquen, showing the same potash beds and also potential for discovery of bedded deposits of sulfur. In Chubut province, south of Rio Negro, the company has an exploration prospect for gas and petroleum (http://nnw.fm/ZG1La) where 12 holes done in the 1930s and 1940s yielded encouraging amounts of hydrocarbons.”

420 with CNW – UK Doctors to Start Prescribing Cannabis in November

October 22, 2018 03:20:08

Doctors in the UK (Wales, Scotland and England) will soon start prescribing cannabis for their patients who have conditions that can be improved by this substance.

This announcement was made by the UK Home Secretary, Sajid Javid. He stated that cannabis would see its status changed from a schedule 1 substance (substances with no therapeutic value but having a high likelihood of being abused) to a schedule 2 controlled substance.

That change would allow doctors to prescribe cannabis-products for those patients who would benefit from such derivatives (CBD oil, for example).

However, cannabis would still be controlled since its new status would still regard it as something that has a high potential for being abused.

The Home Secretary said as much when he reiterated that adult use of cannabis would not be accepted and no patient would be allowed to smoke cannabis as a way of treating his or her condition.

The new regulations that will amend the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 will come into force on November 1.

The amendments come hot on the heels of prominent cases in which several kids were denied the right to use cannabis oil as a way of controlling their epileptic seizures. Those cases were controversial because cannabis oil had been found to be beneficial for people suffering from refractory epilepsy.

The new regulations will permit three avenues through which a person can consume cannabis-based products. The first way is when the patient gets a prescription from a doctor to get a medical product made from cannabis.

The second way through which one can consume a cannabis product is when such a product is being used in an investigational program (clinical study) into which the user has been enrolled.

The third and final way through which one can consume a cannabis product is when such a product has been approved for sale by the relevant regulators. This category includes medicinal cannabis products that have been approved as over the counter products for which a prescription isn’t required.

The regulatory changes by the UK government comes at a time when an expert committee of the World Health Organization is set to meet in November to review the classification of marijuana as a schedule 1 controlled substance. That meeting also comes at a time when Canada has just made history as the first G8 member state to legalize recreational marijuana.

These positive actions in the cannabis industry are pieces of good news to Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV) (OTC: KBEVF) and Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) who are convinced about the benefits that this product can bring.

420 with CNW – A Peek Into Canopy Growth’s Cannabis Manufacturing Facility Just Before Legalization Day

October 19, 2018 15:20:27

Wednesday (October 17) marked the start of a new era in Canada after recreational cannabis became legal. Canadians waited for this day, but not as eagerly as Canopy Growth, one of the leading cannabis companies in the country.

The President and co-CEO of the firm, Mark Zekulin, said that they pulled all the stops, including using every kind of transportation available in Canada (except dog sleds) to ensure that cannabis supplies were distributed to all the retailers who had placed orders from around the country.

Zekulin added that the company had been preparing for legalization day for years. That statement cannot be conceived as bragging since the company has been operating for years when only medicinal marijuana was legal in Canada.

Those long years of preparation were also revealed when the co-CEO said that the manufacturing plant of the company also has an edibles division even if cannabis edibles are not yet legal in Canada. It is believed that edibles will be legalized after about a year from the date when recreational cannabis hit the retail stores.

The information above was shared as the co-CEO and the VP for Communications took a team from Cheddar TV Network around their Ontario-based manufacturing facility.

The cannabis facility is housed in a building that used to host a Hershey’s chocolate factory in the past. To honor that heritage, Canopy Growth plans to make chocolates with a twist; chocolate infused with marijuana.

Canopy Growth employs more than 800 people at its Ontario headquarters, and those hundreds of employees must have had long shifts scrambling to make October 17 a success despite the logistical challenges of moving so much cannabis within such a short time.

The “vault” at the manufacturing plant had about half a billion dollars’ worth of marijuana and marijuana products at the time the Cheddar Network team toured the facility. That stockpile is only expected to sit on the shelves for a few days before it is all distributed to retailers and medical cannabis dispensaries throughout Canada.

Analysts estimate that the demand for marijuana is likely to hit more than 610 tons yet the existing suppliers can only avail 210 tons of marijuana. It is no wonder that Canopy Growth had to send out an all-hands-on-deck call to its employees in order to hit the ground running on day one of legal recreational cannabis.

American marijuana companies like Marijuana Company of America (OTC: MCOA) and Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) can only watch from a distance hoping that it won’t be long before marijuana becomes legal at the federal level in the homeland.

NetworkNewsAudio – First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Developing Significant North American Cobalt-indicated Assets

October 19, 2018 13:30:26

Related Editorial
The United States — and the entire world — have become critically dependent on cobalt, which is essential for rechargeable lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries to retain and discharge electricity.

  • Cobalt deemed critical for United States security and economic prosperity
  • Cobalt need expected to increase with soaring Li-ion battery demand
  • U.S. business and military dependent on unstable cobalt sources; North American initiatives seek solutions

In May, cobalt was added to the United States’ list of minerals critical to its security and economic prosperity. Far beyond laptops, phones and electronic gadgets, the Li-ion battery is increasingly important for electric grid power storage and the revved-up electric vehicle market, as well as military applications such as tactical radios, thermal imagers, portable computing and turbine blades in gas turbines and aircraft jet engines.

CannabisNewsAudio – Sugarmade, Inc. (SGMD) Investing in Hemp Production

October 19, 2018 12:45:08

Related Editorial
As the cannabis market continues to grow, hemp and cannabidiol (CBD) are occupying an increasingly large share of the escalating industry.

  • Hemp, the form of cannabis without psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is an important part of the cannabis market.
  • Hemp is common in many health and wellness products.
  • Total sales of hemp-derived products are expected to exceed $1 billion this year.
  • Some industry experts expect hemp products to soon exceed marijuana for their share of the cannabis industry.

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) is taking advantage of this shift by making a heavy investment in hemp production. Medical marijuana company Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) bridges the gap between product types through its production of CBD oils. One of the largest cannabis growers in Canada, Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC) provides plants used in a wide range of products. GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) has created the first cannabis-derived prescription drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Meanwhile, public acceptance and more positive perception of the cannabis sector are shifting, thanks at least in part to publicity efforts by  shifted by cannabis companies such as Aurora Cannabis, Inc. (OTCQX: ACBFF) (TSX: ACB).

NetworkNewsBreaks – First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Files Technical Report for Flagship Iron Creek Project

October 19, 2018 09:21:14

Vertically integrated North American pure-play cobalt company First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (ASX: FCC) this morning announced the filing of a technical report to support the maiden resource estimate for its wholly owned Iron Creek project located in Lemhi County, Idaho. The report highlights mineralization along the strike and at depth, with true widths between 10m and 30m. Results reflect 29.6 million tons grading of 0.08 percent cobalt and 0.30 percent copper under a deeper mineral resource and pit constrained base scenario with alternative results reflecting 4.9 million tons grading of 0.23 percent cobalt and 0.69 percent copper in an underground-only scenario. President and CEO Trent Mell stated in the news release, “Our flagship asset in Idaho, USA continues to grow to the east, west and at depth. Primary cobalt deposits are rare worldwide and we have the added benefit of 600 metres of underground development and mining patents across much of our land package. Drilling is ongoing to test mineralization along the strike length from 450 metres to over 900 metres, while also systematically testing depth extensions from 150 metres to over 300 metres. These new drilling results will support an updated resource estimate in early 2019. Unlike most cobalt deposits in North America, cobalt at Iron Creek is associated with pyrite rather than arsenic-bearing minerals, which could offer processing and offtake advantages.”

420 with CNW – Canada’s Experiment With Legalized Marijuana Begins

October 19, 2018 03:20:01

The countdown to the legalization of recreational marijuana use in Canada ended yesterday when retail stores opened for the first time to serve adults who wanted to consume this substance that has been wrapped in a lot of controversy for decades. Legalization day also marked the start of one of the biggest “experiments” in public health policy. This is because cannabis was legalized without fully understanding how different categories of people would be affected by its regular consumption.

Of primary interest are teens and young adults. While federal law places the minimum age for those who can legally buy and consume cannabis at 18, provinces and territories imposed their own age limits with several putting it at 19.

Those age limits still give the scientific community the jitters since there is widespread agreement that a person’s brain continues to develop until that individual turns 25. This means that a young adult or an adolescent will have several years within which to consume a substance that could potentially alter the structure of that person’s brain during these crucial formative years.

Public health groups and the scientific community will be watching this age group closely in order to ascertain the actual impact of cannabis consumption upon them both in the short term and the long term.

The second category of people that has scientists worried is those who are predisposed to developing different kinds of psychosis, such as schizophrenia. Cannabis consumption has been linked to triggering episodes of psychosis, but it isn’t clear exactly how the substance affects the brain in order to trigger the condition.

Younger people are at a higher risk of developing psychosis if those individuals are predisposed to it and consume cannabis early in life. Researchers are ready to study this special group and learn more about the way cannabis affects their brains.

Of special concern to the scientific community are the senior citizens who may consume cannabis now that it is legal. This section of the population is usually overshadowed by the focus centered upon teens and young adults, but they also deserve serious attention.

Seniors often have a number of health conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis and weakened body systems. It is not known how cannabis will interact with the different medications those seniors are taking for their health challenges.

Sections of the scientific community will be watching these older members of the community closely given that the sharpest increases in cannabis consumption have been registered in this group.

The fourth group that will be watched closely are the pregnant or nursing mothers. The medical community urges these people to refrain from consuming cannabis in the same way that advice is given to avoid other substances like alcohol and tobacco during this stage.

However, advice (professional or not) can either be accepted or ignored. Researchers will therefore be looking out for the impact that cannabis has on pregnant women or those breastfeeding who go ahead and light a joint every so often.

The eyes of the world are on Canada to see how this experiment with cannabis pans out. The results will either encourage other countries to open up to marijuana, or strengthen their prohibitionist positions. Cannabis industry players like Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTC: GRYN) and GreenBox POS, LLC (OTC: GRBX) have their fingers crossed hoping that Canada’s lead is followed by other countries.

420 with CNW – FDA Calls for Public Comments on Marijuana

October 18, 2018 15:20:27

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced that members of the public and the scientific community have an opportunity to share their thoughts on several substances, including marijuana. Of specific interest is the medical usefulness, abuse potential and actual abuse of the listed substances (including cannabis).

The FDA action comes at a time when the World Health Organization (WHO) is planning to meet in November this year to review the scheduling of cannabis. The ECDD (Expert Committee on Drug Dependence) is the body that will decide whether marijuana should stay as a schedule 1 substance or that categorization should be changed.

Schedule 1 substances are substances which are regarded as having no medical value yet they possess a high risk of being abused. The UN and the U.S. currently categorize marijuana as a schedule 1 substance.

The outcome of the ECDD meeting will influence how many of the UN member states regard cannabis going forward. However, the decision arrived at may or may not be disregarded by member states.

For example, Canada went ahead and legalized adult use of marijuana despite its categorization as a schedule 1 substance. Similarly, many countries around the world have legalized medical cannabis even if the UN looks at the substance as having no medical value.

The current count of U.S. states where medical cannabis is legal now stands at 31, and more are expected to vote for decriminalization during the coming mid-term elections.

Marijuana advocates should not start celebrating that the Trump administration is finally willing to listen and act on the views of the stakeholders of the marijuana industry.

The administration is bound by law to collect people’s views, but there is no compulsion for them to pay any attention to the voices which speak up during the hearings.

That notwithstanding, numerous groups, such as the Marijuana Policy Project, have collected and submitted lots of scientific and anecdotal data on the medicinal value of cannabis to the WHO committee. That same information will be forwarded to the FDA which has put an October 31 deadline on the submission of comments.

Of key interest is the matter of teen use of marijuana. The current data suggests that no increase in the number of teenagers using pot has been seen in the states where marijuana use is legal either for recreational or medical reasons. This should allay any fears that public health will be threatened by an explosion of teen stoners.

While marijuana advocates hope for the best from these hearings, they are also aware that a committee was secretly set up by the Trump administration to gather negative data about cannabis. Companies like Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP) keep wishing that regulators and legislators everywhere listen honestly and make decisions based on concrete data instead of relying on preconceived notions when making policy decisions.

NetworkNewsAudio – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Utilizing Historic Resource to Accelerate Path to Production

October 18, 2018 12:50:48

Related Editorial

Growing demand for powerful batteries, coupled with attempts to break China’s hold on the market, are leading to growth for Canadian lithium explorers.

  • Lithium is essential for batteries used in personal electronics and electric vehicles.
  • The recent rise of electric cars, together with faster than expected production of other electric vehicles, is creating a huge rise in demand.
  • The market’s current top global suppliers are China and Chile.
  • Emerging companies in Canada are starting work on alternative sources of lithium that could reduce reliance on these two countries.

One of the companies setting up new Canadian mines is QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) (QMCQF Profile), which is using existing infrastructure in Manitoba to quickly get production up and running. Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB), the world’s largest lithium manufacturer, has seen a surge in production that has almost doubled its earnings. Nemaska Lithium, Inc. (OTC: NMKEF) (TSX: NMX) is setting up mining and processing facilities in Canada as well as establishing supply agreements for when that work is completed. Sociedad Quimica y Minera S.A. (NYSE: SQM) is diversifying its lithium production, adding mining to brine extraction operations. All of this is driven by the work of companies such as Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), whose electric cars are responsible for much of the demand.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Pressure BioSciences Inc.’s (PBIO) New HUB880 Explorer Enables Researchers to Reach Higher Pressure Levels

October 18, 2018 11:01:20

Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO) recently unveiled the HUB880 Explorer, a high-pressure based system that will empower public health, microbiology, food science, agriculture and other research scientists to study the manner in which pressure can kill food pathogens. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Through the use of the new HUB880 Explorer, researchers will become capable of reaching higher pressure levels and working with larger sample sizes. This way, the manner in which pathogens contribute to spoilage and safety hazards will be studied more thoroughly. Because of this enhancement, the HUB880 Explorer could potentially lead to higher revenue levels in the foreseeable future, Dr. Lawrence noted. … Pressure BioSciences President and CEO Richard T. Schumacher said that the company is concentrating its efforts in two fields – pressure-based research instruments for use in scientific research settings and the Ultra Shear Technology, which is a scalable food processing method. The aim of UST is to address the limitations of using standard high-pressure processing and other food processing technologies in the quest to develop a scalable, enabling food processing method that can result in safer, great tasting, longer shelf-life, clean label (no chemical additives) food.”

420 with CNW – U.S. Customs Now Says Canadian Cannabis Industry Workers Can Enter the U.S.

October 18, 2018 03:20:00

The cloud of uncertainty in the minds of Canadians working in the legal marijuana industry may have lifted a little after the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Administration (CBP) put up an update on its website stating that cannabis industry workers may be “generally” admissible into the U.S. in case their travel isn’t connected to their work.

This clarification comes several weeks after CBP issued a press release in which it suggested that anyone involved in the cannabis industry would not be allowed to cross into the U.S. That statement left marijuana industry workers contemplating an end to simple things like fulfilling the dreams of their kids by visiting Disneyland or even escaping the harsh Canadian winter by seeking out warmer locations across the border to the south.

The new statement clarified that any person involved in the Canadian cannabis industry may be denied entry in case such a person is coming to the U.S. on matters that are related to their work in the cannabis industry. Legalization in Canada doesn’t alter the prohibition of marijuana by U.S. federal law, the statement added.

However, the CBP statement is silent on what the fate of people who admit that they consume cannabis will be at entry points.

What the statement mentions directly is that those who have been convicted for violating U.S. or other countries’ drugs laws will not be allowed into the U.S.

Legal experts agree that the recent statement by CBP provides a more reasonable approach to handling the matter of Canadian cannabis industry workers who wish to travel to the U.S. However, those experts also point out that several grey areas still exist.

For instance, it wasn’t clear how the border authorities will determine which activities are connected to the industry and those that aren’t. Is traveling to attend a marijuana conference in the U.S. outlawed?

Lawyers who specialize in cross-border matters also think that Customs and Border Protection worded their statement cleverly in order to give their agents wiggle room when determining whether to allow someone into the country or not.

It is expected that the position of the U.S. border authorities will keep evolving in the coming weeks and months as the kinks in their current policy get ironed out. In the meantime, Canadians are advised to be mindful about the existing U.S. laws in order to avoid being found in breach of those laws while traveling to or while in the U.S.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) and Choom Holdings, Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) must be equally concerned about the grey areas or contradictions in the cannabis laws at different jurisdictional levels.

420 with CNW – Washington State Marijuana Tracking System Flawed, Says Report

October 17, 2018 15:20:44

An assessment report released by Gartner Consulting recently has found that Washington State rushed to implement a seed-to-sale marijuana tracking system even though the regulator and the system provider knew that the tracking system was flawed.

That rushed implementation cost retailers revenue since many dispensaries were unwilling to buy marijuana from those retailers whose systems hadn’t been integrated with Leaf Date Systems (the tracking platform created by MJ Freeway).

Gartner Consulting is an independent technology and research firm based in Connecticut. Washington State LCB (Liquor and Cannabis Board) contracted Gartner Consulting to assess the tracking system over a period of eight weeks.

The consulting firm noted that the tracking system was unstable and crashed several times during the assessment period.

Gartner Consulting placed the blame for these technical glitches on both LCB and MJ Freeway.

LCB is blamed for making a decision to go live with a system that was flawed and could not pass numerous basic tests for such platforms. The regulator should never have allowed an immature system to be commissioned since that put the entire marijuana value chain tracking system at the risk of a total collapse when so much was at stake.

The consultant also pointed out several issues which put LCB and the developer on the spot. For example, the deployment schedule followed was labeled “impossible” by Gartner Consulting since such projects usually take at least a year to develop and deploy. MJ Freeway should have known better and demanded a reasonable timeframe within which to design a defect-free platform.

The assessment also concluded that the platform designer and the regulator underestimated what would be required to customize the platform for Washington State.

A more stinging criticism for MJ Freeway was that the methods upon which the entire system was developed and implemented didn’t adhere to industry best practices. Consequently, the system raises persistent security concerns.

Gartner Consulting went on to propose ten steps through which the tracking system can be salvaged and improved. For example, the consultant recommends that Washington State hires an experienced firm to provide software integration so that the system can work seamlessly with the software used by other marijuana industry players.

Alternatively, the state could take the radical decision to cancel the project and implement a new one.

Jessica Billingsley, the CEO of MJ Freeway, admitted that though they deployed the system in record time, it had some technical issues which are being addressed to improve it. The company has been taking steps to address all the concerns raised in the Gartner report. TransCanna and VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) must be hoping that they never be at the receiving end of such harsh criticism of their products and services.

NetworkNewsBreaks – First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Eyes Iron Creek Mineralization to the East, West and at Depth in Ethical Source Hunt

October 17, 2018 14:02:30

Vertically integrated North American pure-play cobalt company First Cobalt’s (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (ASX: FCC) Iron Creek property looks to provide promising opportunity in the hunt for cobalt needed to power EVs and the new age of technology. In a recent article, the company’s president and CEO Trent Mell expanded upon discoveries at the property, stating, “The initial resource estimate and the pace of progress at Iron Creek have exceeded our expectations. We have delineated a sizeable primary cobalt deposit on patented property and mineralization continues to expand to the east, west and at depth. The mineralogy is simple and initial metallurgical test work is very encouraging with high metal recoveries. Cobalt is associated with pyrite rather than minerals containing arsenic, which may offer processing and offtake advantages… This initial Inferred Resource estimate is an important step forward to a potential source of ethical cobalt in America.”

Zenergy Brands, Inc.’s (ZNGY) New Zero Cost Energy Saving Program for Smart Homes and Homeowners

October 17, 2018 10:39:51
  • Rebranding retail energy provider subsidiary in Texas
  • Washington DC and 16 states have deregulated electricity markets
  • Zero Cost Program reduces utility bills by 20-60 percent

Digitalization has changed our world, most tellingly in the ways we communicate, but also in a hundred other areas; yet it seems to have largely bypassed the energy sector, which, in many parts of the country, still serves up electricity the way it has been doing for over a century. However, in Texas at least, that is changing, as Zenergy Brands, Inc. (OTC: ZNGY) continues on its mission to enrich businesses and consumers through responsible energy use and management. Its flagship Zero Cost Program has proved to be a huge success. The company has put the finishing touch on its April 2018 acquisition of Enertrade Electric LLC by rechristening the Retail Electric Provider (REP), which will henceforth be known as Zenergy Power & Gas, Inc. (http://nnw.fm/bVj71).

The energy industry is massive and, like all giant creatures, moves rather slowly. As a result, its evolution has lagged behind other sectors, but change is underway. Some markets – Texas, for example – have undergone deregulation, which has resulted in the unbundling of services. Legacy utility companies typically handled all aspects of electricity supply, from generation to transmission, distribution and…
