Exponential Increase in EVs Drives New Cobalt Supply Chains

October 10, 2018 08:00:43

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Supply anxieties and ethical concerns are clouding the otherwise seemingly sunny drive to automobile electrification. The world is already awash in mobile devices and is rapidly moving to enhanced electrical grids and electric vehicle (EV) ubiquity. However, the indispensable lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery — vital for gadgets, grid storage and electric propulsion — also requires cobalt to retain and discharge electricity. Lithium is plentiful and easily mined; cobalt is the conundrum that has manufacturers of battery-dependent products most worried.

  • EV sales projected to explode to 30 million units by 2030.
  • Cobalt — critical for Li-ion batteries — is nearly single-sourced and ethically challenged.
  • New North American supply chains look to provide solutions

Most of the world’s cobalt supply comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The DRC has an unstable and historically corrupt government and an exceptionally poor human rights record; additionally, much of the country’s cobalt is mined by hand, often by children. Economically precarious, cobalt is virtually single-sourced. Currently about two-thirds of the world supply and half of all global reserves come from the DRC. Moreover, two years after Amnesty International’s scathing expose that showed exploited children mining cobalt, child labor is still being used to procure the mineral at so-called artisanal mines. No other comparable commodity is so dominated by a single source, creating enormous potential risk for EV makers. The troubling aggregate of political corruption, supply uncertainty, operational complexity and ethical opacity has delivered a clarion call to EV makers and spurred a global quest for secure and humanely sourced cobalt resources. At the vanguard of this search is First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (FTSSF Profile), a vertically integrated pure-play cobalt company with significant North American assets. Leveraging company assets and expertise in conjunction with the savvy of a legendary EV pioneer…

420 with CNW – Colorado Prosecutor Threatens Action Against Marijuana Businesses Violating the Law

October 10, 2018 03:20:46

U.S. Attorney Bob Troyer, the top federal prosecutor in Colorado, has vowed that his office will take firm action against any legal marijuana business that acts as a front for illegal activity, such as selling marijuana on the black market.

Some growers in various states who are faced with excess production are alleged to have resorted to selling that extra produce to the illegal marijuana market rather than see that cannabis go to waste when the legal market cannot buy it all. Such firms are the next target of enforcement efforts.

The attorney revealed that his office had mainly focused its resources on weeding out those who grow marijuana illegally in forests and in their homes. Legal businesses engaged in illegal activities were now on the radar of the federal prosecutor and the label “compliant with state laws” would not suffice to protect any firm found to be breaking the law.

Troyer added that the interest of the federal prosecutor was in the safety of the public. State laws often address those concerns, but federal laws may be invoked in some cases. Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level.

The spokeswoman for Governor John Hickenlooper responded to Troyer’s statement by saying the state authorities have always enjoyed a good relationship with the feds and they are equally concerned about the safety issues raised.

The spokeswoman added that the state will continue to enforce the law, including criminal enforcement, in case justification exists for such action.

Members of the legal marijuana industry have asked the authorities to identify and root out those breaking the law without putting unnecessary pressure on licensed firms who are following the strict letter of the law under which they operate. They also advised that the authorities discuss any concerns that they may have with the legal cannabis industry instead of taking unilateral action that may be detrimental to all concerned.

Troyer revealed that his office will soon take action against a dispensary chain in the Denver area in the coming days. The name of the targeted dispensary chain was not disclosed in his statement.

It appears that the blitz against cannabis businesses breaking the law will mark the final stages of Troyer’s stay in office since Jason Dunn was selected earlier in June to replace him. Dunn’s nomination is awaiting senate approval before he can take office. Troyer has been in office since 2016 when his predecessor resigned.

Companies like Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTC: GRYN) and GreenBox POS, LLC (OTC: GRBX) must be happy that broader action is being taken to wipe out illegal cannabis activity since it affects the operations of the legitimate businesses in the industry.

420 with CNW – Arkansas Selects Firm to Review Medical Cannabis License Applicants

October 9, 2018 15:20:58

Public Consulting Group, Inc. has been selected by the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission to score about 203 companies that have applied for licenses to operate medical marijuana dispensaries in the state.

The commission had reached out to 30 firms which they felt had the capacity to undertake the scoring exercise. However, only Public Consulting Group and ICF Inc. responded by submitting bids for the task.

Public Consulting Group was selected after it was found to have submitted the lowest bid of $99,472 compared to ICF’s bid of $361,514. Public Consulting Group’s figure surprised the commission since they didn’t expect it to be so low. However, the firm was selected since no red flags were found to suggest that it would be unable to do a good job.

The selection of Public Consulting Group comes with an added advantage of saving time since their bid would not be subject to legislative approval because that bid is just under the $100,000 threshold for which procurement approval must be obtained.

That bid therefore allows the commission to move fast in submitting the applications to the scoring firm. Public Consulting Group will have 30 days to submit its findings and will suffer a $5,000 penalty for each extra day that it takes without reporting back with its findings.

The Medical Marijuana Commission is under some pressure to complete the licensing process by the end of the year because two of its members are scheduled to retire at the end of 2018. Any delay in the preliminary steps can therefore leave the commission short of quorum and unable to make any decisions until replacements are screened and appointed.

It should be remembered that the decision to hire a third-party to score dispensary license applicants was made after the licensing process for marijuana cultivators earlier this year was dogged by numerous complaints.

The 5-member Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission had reviewed the applicants for cultivation licenses and had selected five companies out of the 83 applicants. The unsuccessful applicants complained that the commissioners were biased and didn’t make any attempts to verify some of the claims that were made by the firms which had applied for licenses to grow marijuana for medical purposes.

It was therefore decided that external help be procured when applications for dispensary licenses are being reviewed so that similar controversies are avoided. All eyes, including those of Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP), are now on Public Consulting Inc. to see how quickly they can push the process which will see patients finally getting access to medical cannabis after a long wait that began in 2016 when voters amended the constitution to decriminalize medical marijuana.

First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Reports Promising Initial Mineral Resource Estimate at Iron Creek Cobalt Project in Idaho

October 9, 2018 11:09:19
  • Iron Creek estimates call for 45 million pounds (20,411 tonnes) of cobalt
  • Drilling underway for expanded resource estimate that’s expected in 2019
  • Board strengthened with appointment of CEO of electric vehicle innovator

Cobalt resource estimates in North America just got a boost, after First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (ASX: FCC) released the results of its first NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100 percent-owned Iron Creek Cobalt Project in Idaho. The junior explorer announced Inferred Mineral Resources of 29.6 million tons (26.9 million tonnes) grading 0.11 percent cobalt equivalent, under a base case scenario, and an alternative underground-only scenario indicating 4.9 million tons (4.4 million tonnes) grading 0.30 percent cobalt equivalent (http://nnw.fm/Af2zz). As concerns about cobalt supply from Africa mount (about 60 percent of global output originates in the Democratic Republic of the Congo), this should cheer electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers. The metal is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries, which provide the motive force for such vehicles.

An “Inferred Mineral Resource” is a concentration of some mineral that appears to have a reasonable prospect for economic extraction and for which the quantity and grade has been estimated on the basis of drilling samples. The geological evidence obtained by First Cobalt points to a resource that contains…

Global Payout (OTC: GOHE), alongside wholly owned subsidiary MTrac Tech Corp., this morning announced that its new pin debit system that has been deployed and is now live in one of the initial merchants to sign on with MTrac has considerably increased the amount of transactions processed through the MTrac Platform. The new pin debit system developed by Cultivate Technologies furthers MTrac’s mission to deliver seamless merchant processing for high risk industries such as the cannabis sector. The company will continue to monitor the first live test case of the new MTrac Platform over the coming days and anticipates to rollout the system with three additional merchants by the end of the week.

“We were extremely excited to see Cultivate’s enhancement to the platform,” Global Payout CEO Vanessa Luna stated in the news release. “In taking the first version of our MTrac Platform to market we discovered that many merchants and users had noted the two-step process with the mobile app as being somewhat cumbersome to use for simple merchant processing and we immediately identified this crucial feedback as something we would need to address in order to achieve the mass adoption of our platform with both the merchants and consumers. The integration of the Pin Debit technology brought to us by Cultivate has not only addressed this precise issue, but in my opinion has solved it entirely and in the process has placed this company in the best position it has ever been in to produce revenue.”

  • Close of three-year audit required to become fully reporting company with SEC
  • Plans afoot to uplist to a higher OTC Markets tier

Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) wants to be an open book. The company has announced the completion of a full audit for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. This marks the close of the three-year audit required as a condition of becoming a fully reporting company with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). Cannabis Strategic Ventures will utilize the audit results to file future reports and disclosures with the SEC and move the company to fully reporting status. The company will also use the fully reporting status to uplist to a higher OTC Markets tier (http://nnw.fm/i8Swy).

The OTC Markets in some ways resemble traditional debutante balls, for they allow investors an introductory look at public companies by publicizing information about the companies and their securities prices.

NetworkNewsBreaks – CytoDyn Inc. (CYDY) Unveils Development Strategy for PCaTest, Nears Close of Proposed ProstaGene Asset Acquisition

October 9, 2018 08:45:48

CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: CYDY), a biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications, this morning detailed its strategy for completing the development of PCaTest, a novel gene-based prognostic test for prostate cancer developed by ProstaGene. Following the completion of its previously announced proposed acquisition of assets from ProstaGene, which is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2018, CytoDyn intends to initiate a clinical study aimed at further demonstrating the superiority of the PCaTest, as compared with current genetic tests, in predicting outcomes of individuals with prostate cancer. Per the update, results are expected to be available within four months of the commencement of this clinical study. “Our plan is to complete development of the PCaTest relatively quickly and at a minimal cost to CytoDyn and to file for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval,” Nader Pourhassan, Ph.D., president and CEO of CytoDyn, stated in the news release. “We will gain access to the PCaTest, in addition to the technologies and patents for CCR5 antagonists in metastatic cancer from ProstaGene, with completion of this acquisition expected in the near term.”

About CytoDyn

CytoDyn is a biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on PRO 140 (leronlimab), a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. CCR5 plays a key role in the ability of HIV to enter and infect healthy T-cells.  The CCR5 receptor is also implicated in tumor metastasis and in immune-mediated illnesses such as graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) and NASH. CytoDyn has successfully completed a Phase 3 pivotal trial with PRO 140 in combination with standard anti-retroviral therapies in HIV-infected treatment-experienced patients. The Company plans to seek FDA approval for PRO 140 in combination therapy and plans to complete the filing of a Biological License Application (BLA) in the first quarter of 2019 for that indication. CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 3 investigative trial with PRO 140 as a once-weekly monotherapy for HIV-infected patients, and plans to initiate a registration-directed study of PRO 140 monotherapy indication, which if successful, could support a label extension. Clinical results to date from multiple trials have shown that PRO 140 can significantly reduce viral burden in people infected with HIV with no reported drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs). Moreover, results from a Phase 2b clinical trial demonstrated that PRO 140 monotherapy can prevent viral escape in HIV-infected patients, with some patients on PRO 140 monotherapy remaining virally suppressed for more than four years. CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 2 trial to evaluate PRO 140 for the prevention of GvHD and expects to initiate clinical trials with PRO 140 in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in 2018.

NetworkNewsBreaks – FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) Enters Restructured Agreement with Cultivation Technologies Inc.

October 9, 2018 08:30:28

FinCanna Capital (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF), a royalty company for the U.S. licensed medical cannabis industry, this morning announced that it has agreed to a restructured agreement (“RA”) with Cultivation Technologies Inc. (“CTI”) due to CTI’s re-focused business strategy towards extraction, manufacturing, and brand development. Per the agreement, CTI will pay FinCanna approximately $3.9 million as repayment of CTI’s outstanding secured loan. FinCanna will also receive payments equal to 3.44% of the consolidated topline revenue of CTI in perpetuity. CTI recently entered into a sale escrow agreement for $4 million for its 6-acre property in Coachella, California which is expected to close in December 2018 or January 2019 with anticipated net proceeds of approximately $3.9 million after transaction costs will be paid to FinCanna. CTI has the option to increase its cash payment to FinCanna before December 31, 2018. The payments in perpetuity of 3.44% would be modified based on total cash payments. Additionally, FinCanna will continue to earn 50% of the profits of CTI’s Interim Extraction and Manufacturing Facility that is expected to stay in operation until June 2019. FinCanna will also receive certain purchase warrants in CTI’s next equity financing and will hold customary security over its overriding royalty.

“The new agreement is a very positive move forward for FinCanna and allows CTI to finance and execute on its refocused business to create long-term value for both parties. We are very bullish on CTI’s new strategy and anticipate a much quicker path to royalty revenue to FinCanna without any further financing obligations. Lastly, the expected cash proceeds from CTI of $3.9 million will provide us with additional non-dilutive funds to expand our royalty investment portfolio with a goal to leverage additional verticals in the U.S licensed cannabis markets that are in need of financing for rapid growth,” FinCanna Capital President and CEO Andriyko Herchak stated in the news release.

Public Acceptance Fuels Growth of CBD and Support Industries

October 9, 2018 08:00:59

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Growing public acceptance of medical marijuana is having secondary effects on other industries.

  • Products using cannabidiol (CBD) are increasingly popular in areas such as wellness and cosmetics.
  • Hemp production is growing, with experimental projects improving cannabis cultivation techniques.
  • Services needed to support these markets, such as payment systems, are growing.

GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) created the first prescription medicine derived from cannabis plants to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval and is now heavily involved in research into using CBD to tackle epilepsy. Such drugs may also become useful for fighting…

420 with CNW – Connecticut Federal Court Rules in Favor of Employees Taking Medical Marijuana

October 9, 2018 03:20:30

A federal district court has ruled that a nursing home violated the anti-discriminatory act when it rescinded a job offer to a job seeker who declared that she consumes medical cannabis off-duty and tested positive for THC in a pre-employment drugs test. Medical cannabis is legal in Connecticut where the plaintiff lives and sought to be employed by the nursing home.

The case was filed by the plaintiff last year and judgment was delivered last month, more than a year later. The defendant had tried to get the case dismissed arguing that federal laws allowed them to deny users of a controlled substance employment.

However, the federal district court ruled that the defendant couldn’t cite the Controlled Substances Act since the laws of Connecticut granted protections to patients who had a qualifying condition and were consuming marijuana in accordance with the state laws.

The plaintiff’s request for legal fees and punitive damages was denied by the federal court since the Connecticut law (Palliative Use of Medical Marijuana or PUMA) under which she sued did not prescribe such remedies in its protections for patients on medical cannabis.

The ruling against Bride Brook Nursing and Rehabilitation Center comes at a time when courts had initially ruled against employees on matters of medical marijuana. It is the first time that a federal court is making a decision in favor of an employee.

Other state courts had made similar favorable rulings for employees against employers who took action against them for consuming medical marijuana.

The decision by the federal court isn’t binding on all the other courts, but one can be certain that this case will be a point of reference in any future litigation on similar matters.

In fact, Bride Brook Nursing and Rehabilitation Center can appeal against this decision in order to have it reversed.

The case law on medical marijuana is still scanty since so few states have decriminalized it while it remains illegal at the federal law.

It may therefore be premature for anyone to think that the legal tide is shifting in favor of employees. All the same, it is wise for employers to review their policies regarding marijuana testing as a precondition for employment since they may expose themselves to costly suits that may leave the reputation of the companies in question in tatters.

What can help all concerned is some form of middle ground to be reached between the states where marijuana is legal and the federal level where decriminalization hasn’t occurred as yet. This is certainly the wish of industry players like Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) who want to see a more uniform regulatory framework.

420 with CNW – White House Drug Office Promises Objective Marijuana Study

October 8, 2018 15:20:53

The news reports more than a month ago to the effect that the White House Drug Office had asked 14 federal agencies as well as the DEA to collect and submit data showing the negative effects of marijuana legalization in different states has attracted a backlash which has forced a senior official from the Drug Office to reassure those concerned that the marijuana policy panel will not be subjective as it looks into the impact of cannabis decriminalization in several states across the country.

This clarification was revealed by Senator Michael Bennet from Colorado, one of the first states to decriminalize pot. Senator Bennet disclosed that he had contacted James Carroll (deputy director White House Drug Office) about concerns regarding the attempts to spread negative propaganda against marijuana.

Media reports had suggested that a secret committee had been established to gather data which could be used to portray marijuana as a “national threat” as a way of pushing back against its growing popularity and the wave of decriminalization which is sweeping across the country.

James Carroll clarified that the committee set up would conduct a dispassionate review of cannabis without any preconceived conclusions.

Senator Bennet reaffirmed that the data-driven decisions that were made in Colorado would not be watered down by any propaganda by the feds.

It is only fitting that Colorado takes the lead in calling out any force that is trying to smear marijuana since the state was one of the first two to decriminalize marijuana.

This news comes at a time when contradictions are emerging about how different law enforcement agencies regard cannabis.

For example, LA International Airport issued a press release announcing that it would allow travelers to pass through the airport with marijuana.

However, such people would have to run the gauntlet of TSA since all checkpoints are the jurisdiction of the federal agency. TSA revealed it would refer any matters of cannabis to local law enforcement who are at liberty to decide what to do about the situation. Passengers could be delayed or even miss their flight while these institutions engage in this ping pong.

Another scenario has to do with how Customs and Border Protection regards participants in the legal pot industry. The feds see them as drug traffickers while the states or countries from which they originate treat them as a legitimate industry. This difference of opinion leaves individuals uncertain about what will come next.

It is therefore hoped that the U.S. federal government will review its position and make a decision that harmonizes how marijuana is regarded across the nation. ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) and Choom Holdings Inc. (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) must be waiting with bated breath for the day when marijuana will be regulated by a uniform set of laws across the U.S.

CannabisNewsAudio – Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (CSE: LXX) (OTC: LXRP) Distinctive Intellectual Property Drives Success

October 8, 2018 14:51:12

Related Editorial
Intangible assets such as patents increasingly dominate the global business landscape, especially in the pharmaceutical sector.

  • Intangible assets are estimated to be worth trillions of dollars in the United States alone.
  • These assets drive deals as companies acquire smaller patent holders.
  • In growing sectors such as cannabis, smaller companies are rushing to establish intangible assets ready for expected market growth.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) (LXRP Profile) is one of the leaders in the world of cannabis, with applications made for more than 50 different patents and more to come. Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is also focusing on building its intellectual property (IP) portfolio, including exclusive rights to at least 22 issued or pending patents. In wake of receiving FDA approval of its Epidiolex® (cannabidiol) oral solution for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) has applied for five new Epidiolex patents. Recently Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) announced that it has, alone or with its subsidiary or joint-venture partners, filed eight provisional U.S. patents pertaining to the delivery and application of cannabis and cannabinoid-based therapeutics. And through its ownership of CanniMed, Aurora Cannabis, Inc. (OTCQX: ACBFF) has obtained six patents related to cannabinoid delivery for pain management.

The lithium can then be converted into a concentrated and substantially purified (compared to the feed brine) lithium chloride solution. The Mini-Pilot Plant has also proven that the lithium-loaded sorbent material can be continuously regenerated and recycled to the extraction stage, achieving overall lithium extraction efficiencies of over 90%. Once fabrication of the modular Pilot Plant is complete, it will be shipped to the project site in southern Arkansas for installation, commissioning and operation.”

Blockchain Shift Conference to Help “The Magic City” Become U.S. Crypto Capital for Blockchain Technology

October 8, 2018 09:02:18
  • City of Miami Acts as Bridge between the U.S. and Latin America
  • Blockchain Conference Could Serve as Catalyst for Distributed Ledger Technology Ecosystem
  • State, Local Officials, and Federal Representatives Will be There

Standing at the crossroads of continents, the Magic City is the ideal choice for the Blockchain Shift conference to be held October 11-12, 2018 at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center in Miami. The city’s position between North and South America gives it unparalleled access to technology and talent on both sides. It could be a bridge to the future, as well. Blockchain Shift is meant to raise awareness of distributed ledger technology and educate the world on the power of this transformative technology.

The event will feature a diverse group of distinguished thought leaders and experts including crypto and institutional investors, government officials, bankers, attorneys, and other service providers. Blockchain startups will also be represented, as will projects working on the tokenization of real assets and established enterprise companies. As such, Blockchain Shift offers the opportunity for an unparalleled series of discussions and networking opportunities.

The ground is shifting beneath our feet, as technology advancements have disrupted virtually every sector of society,” said Dan Viola, attorney, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Blockchain Shift, in a press release. “Our event will celebrate these advancements, while bridging the gap between a crypto crowd and more advanced legacy industries that are beginning to understand blockchain is here to stay.”

Distributed ledger technology – blockchain – is finding application in a wide variety of industries, including banking, healthcare, logistics, securities and many more. Its cryptographic, decentralized, distributed, immutable nature makes the problem of asymmetric information that plagues transacting almost disappear. With blockchain, there is no need to trust your counterparty or an intermediary. The systems’ transparency makes perverse action practically impossible.

As a technology hub, Miami’s location is unique, which perhaps is why the city is on Amazon.com Inc.’s short list for a new headquarters. The Magic City, where Spanish is spoken as frequently as English, has a tradition of facing both north and south. That multiculturalism is reflected in the choice of venue: the Mana Wynwood that is conveniently located in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood Art District, home to the city’s diverse, international art scene. Miami is fast becoming a fintech hub of innovation and entrepreneurship in the U.S.

A number of key sponsors such as IBM (NYSE: IBM), Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), KPMG and Bloomberg have already confirmed their participation, as have an elect group of speakers that includes Florida’s Lieutenant Governor, Miami’s mayor, and an extensive array of representatives from tech companies and service providers.

Speakers include:

  • Jon “DRJ” Najarian, co-founder of Investitute
  • Christopher Ferris, CTO Open Technology, IBM
  • Steven Nerayoff, founder and CEO, Alchemist
  • Florida Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez Cantera
  • Mayor Raul Valdes-Fauli, City of Coral Gables
  • Mayor Francis Suarez, City of Miami
  • Paul Brodsky, partner, Pantera Capital
  • Jalak Jobanputra, founding partner, Future Perfect Ventures
  • Joseph Tacopina, attorney, Tacopina & Seigel

The event promises to be more than just a forum of talking heads. Blockchain Shift will include events hosted by sponsors, as well as yacht excursions and a night of electronic dance music with some of the world’s best-known DJs, to facilitate networking. In addition, white glove service will be available. Participants will be able to access a concierge app that accepts crypto for tickets and sponsorships, delivers badges pre-registered to the hotel and displays a menu of excellent food options.

Media passes and special discounts are available for those who want to learn and/or engage in blockchain tech from [email protected]

October 8, 2018 08:21:59

Green Hygienics Holdings (OTC: GRYN), a full-scope, premium cannabis cultivation company, is utilizing a hybrid-aeroponic agriculture approach pioneered by NASA to grow cannabis and ensure quality in a controlled environment.

420 with CNW – U.S. Feds Confirm Canadians Involved in Legal Marijuana Industry Not Welcome

October 8, 2018 03:20:10

It is just days before recreational cannabis becomes legal throughout Canada but difficulties are already shaping up regarding how this legalization will affect Canadians who wish to travel to the U.S. The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) service has confirmed that steps will be taken to bar people who are involved in the Canadian marijuana industry from entering the U.S.

CBP’s confirmation comes at a time when numerous media reports emerged about individuals who were handed lifetime bans from entering the U.S. as a result of their investment interests in the cannabis industry.

Customs and Border Protection is simply enforcing the U.S. federal government position that marijuana is a controlled substance that has no medical value and has a high potential for being abused. The feds therefore don’t recognize the marijuana industry as a legitimate business or industry. Anyone involved is regarded as a drug trafficker just like those found with heroin and other such drugs.

Some of the consequences of being found with cannabis or admitting to an involvement in the cannabis industry may include being fined and/or having your cannabis seized, arrests and bans on admission into the U.S.

CBP officials also warned that Canadians should not be tempted to lie about their involvement in the cannabis industry either as investors or consumers since such misrepresentations will carry serious consequences once discovered. The stored data on any affected persons will be kept and referred to in future when those people try to reenter the U.S.

It is still unclear how the Customs and Border Protection agents will screen Canadians entering the U.S. CBP itself admits that not everyone will be questioned about cannabis, but questions may arise when a person is found with cannabis or when the smell of cannabis is detected in the car of the person at an entry point.

Congressman Lou Correa has written to Homeland Security asking its head to clarify a number of issues regarding the implementation of CBP’s position on Canadians involved in the legal marijuana industry. For example, how will the agents determine that someone at the entry point is a participant in the cannabis industry?

People who are handed a lifetime ban can apply for that ban to be waived for a while. That waiver comes at a cost of $585 (not including the person’s legal fees). It isn’t yet clear how long it can take for that waiver to be processed.

Canadian citizens are beginning to get a taste of what companies like TransCanna and VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTC: VVCIF) have to deal with as they expand from one jurisdiction to another.

420 with CNW – Thousands of Marijuana Plants Seized in California Forest

October 5, 2018 15:20:52

The office of the San Bernardino County Sheriff recently announced that they had seized more than 10,000 cannabis plants that were growing in the San Bernardino National Forest. The plants were in three large plots that appear to have been cultivated by members of a drug trafficking gang.

There was evidence that people were living around the cannabis plots in order to tend to those plants. Camping gear and trash was found where the plants were found by a combined force from the U.S. Forestry Service, the County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Fish and Wildlife. These law enforcement agencies were collaborating under a program called CAMP (Campaign Against Marijuana Planting).

The marijuana plants were in plots located in Marble Canyon, East Fork Canyon and Arctic Canyon.

Police said that the drug traffickers cleared the forest in order to plant the marijuana. Such actions cause irreparable damage to the forest cover. The toxic pesticides and the fertilizers which are used in such activities also seep into the ground and pollute the water as well as the wildlife there.

The press release didn’t reveal who the suspects in this seizure were, but the public was urged to report any other marijuana plots they see as they hike through the forest or any other secluded areas. Callers could provide tips anonymously or reveal their identities if they so wished. Different contact numbers were also provided in the press release for those willing to provide information regarding the illegal growing of cannabis in the forest or anywhere else.

The investigators asked hikers to be cautious since there is a risk of being harmed by criminal organizations that participate in such illegal growing of cannabis. It was therefore better to stick to the marked hiking trails or to take precautions, such as moving in groups, when branching off the marked trails during a hike.

People who grow marijuana illegally see the National Forest as an attractive location since it has several of the ideal conditions they desire. The first requirement is seclusion so that the illegal activity can remain undetected for long. Secondly, the forests have naturally fertile soils and springs which can make it easier to grow the cannabis.

Those conditions will keep attracting more drug trafficking organizations to the forest, so the latest seizures are unlikely to be the last. Perhaps the authorities need to find ways to make legitimate cannabis businesses like Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and Canopy Rivers Inc. (TSX.V: RIV) offer their products at such a low price that the risk of growing cannabis illegally will no longer be worth the possible gains from such an illegal activity.

420 with CNW – New Hampshire Raises Its Marijuana Revenue Projections

October 5, 2018 03:20:40

The Department of Revenue Administration in New Hampshire has revised its estimates of cannabis revenue upwards to $58 million annually if the products are taxed at 15%. These estimates come at a time when a committee is discussing a proposals to legalize recreational marijuana next year.

Why would the state be interested in how much it will earn from cannabis sales? Legislators want to know whether the taxes generated from the marijuana industry would, at a bare minimum, meet the high cost of regulating the industry.

The figures released by the Department of Revenue Administration suggest that the taxes collected from cannabis sales would more than meet the cost of regulation. The $58 annual revenue projection was arrived at after using the modeling information provided by a study which was done in New York.

That information provided more pricing and usage pattern data to rely on than was available when the Department of Revenue Administration in New Hampshire released its earlier projection of $41.6 million a year in December last year.

However, there are a number of variables that could swing the actual revenues significantly in either direction. For example, the model used to project how much can be earned could not determine with a high degree of certainty how many people would consume cannabis once it is decriminalized.

The existence of a marijuana black market can’t be ignored as well. How many people will prefer to get their marijuana from the black market instead of through the regulated supplies? The outcome of that decision will impact the state’s earnings from cannabis sales.

Similarly, some people may opt to purchase their cannabis from sources outside the state. Many reasons, ranging from price differences and perceived or actual product quality issues, can drive some people to purchase marijuana from elsewhere. The magnitude of people who take that option will also have an impact on the revenues generated for the state.

The revenue projections were sent to a special commission which was set up to plan how marijuana will be regulated, taxed and legalized. The commission is expected to have their report ready in November.

The report to be released is likely to be comprehensive since the commission was drawn from a broad cross-section of the state including law enforcement, legislators, anti-marijuana advocates and members of the medical profession. Any agreement reached by such a diverse group is likely to carry the day when the proposal is finally voted on by legislators.

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) and The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) must be wondering why the U.S. feds don’t take charge of marijuana decriminalization instead of standing by as each state passes its own legalization laws that will eventually force the federal government to toe the same line.

420 with CNW – First Medical Cannabis Kitchen Due to Open in Arizona

October 4, 2018 15:20:49

The Mint Dispensary in Arizona is scheduled to open the first medical cannabis kitchen in the United States. This kitchen will open its doors to the public on October 5. Customers can order breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks at the kitchen. An espresso bar and a juice bar will also be open at the full-service kitchen.

However, only individuals who have a medical marijuana card issued by the state of Arizona will be welcome to the establishment from 8 am to 10 pm every day of the week, weekends inclusive. No consumption will be permitted on the premises in order to prevent patrons from driving under the influence of any psychoactive ingredient which may have been included in the meal ordered.

Mint Dispensary realized that there was an unmet demand for cannabis-infused wholesome meals since only prepackaged items were available on the market. This gap gave the dispensary CEO, Eivan Shahara, an idea of preparing fresh foods that can address the nutritional and medicinal needs of customers.

The food and beverages available at the kitchen will have varying concentrations of cannabis so that visitors can choose the concentration that is suitable for their medical needs as they enjoy a meal, snack or drink.

For breakfast, patients with medical cannabis cards can order Donut Holes, Blueberry Muffins, Banana Bread, Apple Fritters, Scones and other offerings. These can be bought as standalone items or combined with coffee.

For lunch or dinner, patrons can select from Street Tacos, Artisan Burgers, Fries, Pizza, Hatch Chile Macaroni and cheese among others.

Carylann Principal, the Executive Chef overseeing the kitchen, says that the meals will be outstanding since they will be at the intersection between science and art. Chef Principal is a cancer survivor who is passionate about providing wholesome food that is also medicinal.

As the cannabis industry continues to evolve at a fast pace, more offerings beyond what is currently planned for the cannabis kitchen at the Mint Dispensary will be introduced. For example, the kitchen intends to start making home deliveries somewhere in the near future in addition to providing “medicated” catering services for funerals, weddings and other special events.

It remains to be seen what sort of challenges this new service by the dispensary will face. For example, can they be held responsible in case a takeout meal is consumed by someone other than the holder of a medical marijuana card? Such scenarios may or may not have been discussed with the regulators prior to granting the establishment a license to open the kitchen.

Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) and BLOCKStrain Corp. (TSX.V: DNAX) (OTC: BKKSF) must be applauding this bold innovative step taken by the team at Mint Dispensary.

NetworkNewsAudio – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Building Shareholder Value Through Acquisitions, Exploration & Development

October 4, 2018 13:58:22

Related Editorial
Despite short-term gyrations, the outlook for lithium continues to shine. Electric mobility is still only in its infancy. Revolutionizing how we commute and power our lives, the inevitable tsunami of electric vehicles and burgeoning demand for energy grid storage are driving lithium demand for the foreseeable future.

  • The electric revolution is still in its infancy.
  • Lithium demand expected to triple in next seven years.
  • Lithium stocks could surge with demand.
  • Junior miners offer big upside potential.

Anticipation of an exponential increase of electric vehicles coupled with expanding demand for lithium-ion (L-ion) batteries drove the lithium mining sector to reach all-time highs last year. Lithium shares swooned at the beginning of 2018 on a negative oversupply forecast by Morgan Stanley analysts. That forecast has since been widely debunked by a broad range of lithium industry experts and given only a 1 percent chance of happening. As the world inexorably advances into the new electric power paradigm, the lithium sector should experience an excellent decade and produce outsized returns. Demand for raw battery materials continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, and lithium miners could easily rack up further gains and reach new highs. With large upside potential, evermore attention is turning to junior miners such as QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) (QMCQF Profile).The company is intent on building shareholder value through the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties that contain either high-quality lithium or silver, gold, nickel, copper and zinc opportunities. Historically validated, QMC’s 100 percent-owned flagship project, the Irgon Mine Project,holds a potential motherlode of lithium. In addition, major lithium producers such as Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) and Sociedad Quimica y Minera S.A. (NYSE: SQM) plan production increases, and Nemaska Lithium, Inc. (OTC: NMKEF) (TSX: NMX) is also in the hunt to supply companies such as Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) and myriad other end users seeking a secure supply chain.

NetworkNewsBreaks – VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTGN) Obtains Fast Track Designation on AV-101 to Treat Neuropathic Pain

October 4, 2018 12:49:42

VistaGen Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VTGN) recently announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation for development of AV-101 as a non-opioid, non-sedating treatment for neuropathic pain, marking the second Fast Track designation granted to the company since December 2017. This designation facilitates the development, and possibly accelerate the review, of drugs that fill an unmet medical need to treat serious or life-threatening conditions. “Every day in the U.S., more than 115 people die from overdosing on opioids. We have evaluated AV-101 in multiple models of serious CNS conditions, including those that cause patients to suffer from neuropathic pain, for which current treatment options are inadequate. After considering peer-reviewed data published last year in The Journal of Pain, together with published safety data from our Phase 1 program, we believe AV-101 has the potential to address the high unmet need for a new non-opioid, non-sedating treatment for neuropathic pain,” VistaGen CEO Shawn Singh stated in the news release.

Blockchain Shift 2018: Bringing Together Blockchain Industry Experts to Create Awareness, Educate and Network in Miami, Florida

October 4, 2018 11:37:48

Blockchain Shift 2018 is set to take place on October 11-12, 2018, in Miami, Florida.

Bringing together industry experts, institutions in the blockchain space, investors and government representatives, Blockchain Shift seeks to educate, create awareness and explore possible partnerships and investment opportunities in the crypto and blockchain industry.

Key speakers and renowned figures, drawn from industry giants such as IBM, will be presenting and moderating the various panel discussions.

There are six tickets up for grabs, one of which is a VIP ticket, for people who sign up for the CryptoCurrencyWire giveaway. The deadline to enter is October 4 at 11:59 EST.

Blockchain technology is redefining how companies conduct business in the 22st century. This shift in technology development has seen governments and regulatory bodies embrace the rather disruptive power in the financial technology space.

That said, there is plenty of untapped and unharnessed potential within the blockchain platform. This is partially due to unawareness and lack of proper education initiatives that promote the transformative power of blockchain technology.

These and other factors underpin the reason for the October 11-12 Blockchain Shift conference, to be held at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center in Miami, Florida. The conference organizers are projecting an attendance of about 3,000 people together with 500 investors, 140 sponsors and 160 speakers.

Throughout the conference, the overriding goal will be to educate, engage and learn from industry thought leaders and investors. With representatives from all of the key crypto industry players, as well as industry regulators and lawmakers, present, the conference is expected to inspire entrepreneurs, educate future industry leaders, create unforgettable experiences and support open dialogue toward a decentralized and transparent society.

Each day will be divided into two main blocks, including the main stage and the innovation stage. The day one main stage begins with registration at 7:30 am and ends with an after party from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm. On the other hand, the day one innovation stage starts at 1:00 pm and ends at 5:30 pm.

The day two main stage is a little bit different in timing. It will begin with breakfast at 8:00 am and end with a night shift party from 10:00 pm. The day two innovation stage begins much earlier, at 9:45 am, and closes at 5:00 pm.

Among the key speakers at the conference will be Jalak Jobanputra, a founding partner of Future\Perfect Ventures. She will give a keynote address on blockchain and ICO start-ups with a focus on the investment potential they provide, both now and in the future.

On day two, Carlos Lopez Cantera, the 19th Lieutenant Governor of Florida will give a keynote address. He is also expected to speak on the role of government in the advancement of blockchain technology.

There will be panel discussions on various topical issues in blockchain and cryptocurrency. In one of the sessions on the day one main stage, the moderator will be Daniel G. Viola, a partner with Sadis & Goldberg LLP and former SEC examiner. He will be leading discussions on regulatory updates in the industry.

CryptoCurrencyWire is giving away six tickets to Blockchain Shift, including one VIP ticket valued at $1,999 and five general admission tickets with a value of $999 each. To enter the giveaway, you just need to fill out and submit a contest entry form at the link below. The closing date for the Blockchain Shift giveaway is October 4, 2018, at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) Payments Platform Poised for Performance as Bank Card Use in Russia Rises

October 4, 2018 10:24:08
  • Russian ecommerce still 80 percent reliant on cash
  • Net Element’s “PayOnline” payments platform to cash in on trend toward non-cash
  • Strategic partnerships pave entry to Russian mobile and online payments market

In Russia, cash on delivery is not just a way to pay for takeout; it’s how over 80 percent of online purchases are remunerated, according to Ecommerce News Europe (http://nnw.fm/XeJw8). However, that is changing fast. In 2017, “financial cards and payments performed positively in Russia”, says Euromonitor International (http://nnw.fm/G9M4u). Russian consumers are changing their purchasing habits, it seems, as financial literacy and cashless payment solutions, like those offered by Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE), come to market. A recent report from Zacks notes, “Net Element is a growth company in the payments industry that should benefit from the adoption of mobile and online payments in the U.S., Russia and Eastern Europe.” In fact, Net Element is the only U.S. company listed on the Nasdaq that stands to benefit from the Russian electronic payments expansion.

Russian consumers are a cautious lot, paying only for goods when they are received. Merchants display an equal degree of circumspection; they typically prefer cash-on-delivery (COD). COD in America was widely employed during the heyday of mail order commerce but has since been superseded by debit cards, credit cards and…

CannabisNewsBreaks – The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) Gears Up to Target Two Key Canadian Markets through New Brand Licensing Deal

October 4, 2018 10:23:52

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR), a vertically integrated Canadian cannabis company, was the subject of an article published by TheGlobeandMail.com today, titled ‘Cannabis Professional: Ace Hill, Flowr blaze the branding trail with licensing deal’ authored by Mark Rendell. As noted in the article, a first for the Canadian cannabis industry was reached today through the execution of a brand licensing deal by Toronto craft brewer Ace Hill and FLWR. The companies have partnered up to market a line of pre-rolled joints in Ontario and British Columbia. Per the article, FLWR will grow, package and ship two cannabis strains that will then by branded and marketed by Ace Valley, Ace Hill’s newly-minted sister company. There is, however, a restrictive advertising environment when it comes to marketing cannabis. This may actually be good news for FLWR, an early-stage LP that went public on the TSX Venture Exchange last week. The company believes that the quality of its products and word of mouth will drive its sales. “People can’t do splashy commercials no matter how much money they have in the bank,” Steve Klein, Chairman and chief strategist of The Flowr Corporation, stated in the article. “We think it’s going to come down to people trying different things and word of mouth, and we think we’re going to come out very well in that contest.”

First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Notes Initial Resource Estimates at Iron Creek Project ‘Exceed Expectations’

October 4, 2018 09:37:47
  • Results showed inferred mineral resources of 29.6 million tons grading 0.11 percent cobalt equivalent (0.08 percent cobalt and 0.30 percent copper) under a base case scenario pit constrained and deeper mineral resource
  • Initial resource estimate reports 45 million pounds of cobalt and 175 million pounds of copper for 62.9 million pounds of cobalt equivalent on Iron Creek site
  • Independent geologic and engineering consultant firm Mine Development Associates prepared resource estimate, concluding that Iron Creek cobalt and copper project is “of merit, requiring further exploration”

As a key ingredient in lithium-ion batteries, now widely used in EVs and electronic devices, the need for cobalt increased at a rate of 13.5 percent per year between 2010-2017 and is expected to…

Among other highlights, the drilling confirms cobalt and copper metal zonation, including higher grade copper and cobalt zones with cobalt remaining as the dominant resource metal. Drilling is ongoing to extend the strike length of the mineralized zone and test down dip extensions of known cobalt-copper zones. In addition, a bore-hole geophysical survey will begin later this month to identify extensions of known mineralization to define new drilling targets and to characterize magnetic and electro-magnetic properties of mineralization. “High grade cobalt and copper zones within wider mineralized zones, such as those reported here, expand our options for development as we look to the future of this project. As work advances, I am repeatedly impressed by the increasing potential of this resource and look forward to updating our mineral resource estimate in early 2019 with results from the ongoing program,” First Cobalt President & Chief Executive Officer Trent Mell stated in the news release.

Intangible Assets Power Growth, Acquisitions in the Pharmaceuticals Sector

October 4, 2018 08:00:09

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Intangible assets such as patents increasingly dominate the global business landscape, especially in the pharmaceutical sector.

  • Intangible assets are estimated to be worth trillions of dollars in the United States alone.
  • These assets drive deals as companies acquire smaller patent holders.
  • In growing sectors such as cannabis, smaller companies are rushing to establish intangible assets ready for expected market growth.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) (LXRP Profile) is one of the leaders in the world of cannabis, with applications made for more than 50 different patents and more to come. Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is also focusing on building its intellectual property (IP) portfolio, including exclusive rights to at least 22 issued or pending patents. In wake of receiving FDA approval of its Epidiolex® (cannabidiol) oral solution for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) has applied for five new Epidiolex patents.

420 with CNW – LA International Airport Allows Travelers to Carry Marijuana

October 4, 2018 03:20:52

Los Angeles International Airport announced that passengers were free to have cannabis on them or in their luggage when boarding flights as long as it didn’t exceed the amount allowed by California law. Currently, 28.5 grams or 8grams of concentrated cannabis (oil, for example) can be carried by someone within the state. This only applies to people who are 21-years of age or more.

However, individuals who are carrying cannabis legally may still face prosecution once they are discovered by the Transport Safety Administration (TSA) agents at the airport. The TSA is obliged by law to notify local law enforcement (police) once someone is found with marijuana.

It is up to the police to decide whether to prosecute that person, seize the marijuana, or let the person board his or her flight. LA police has already said they will not prosecute anyone who hasn’t exceeded the legal limit of how much someone can carry.

This doesn’t mean passengers will not suffer any inconveniences. The interview by TSA agents before one is handed over to local police may make that person miss his or her flight even if the possibility of prosecution is waived by the police.

A lot of confusion is likely to result from the conflicting rules being followed by the Transportation Safety Administration and the local police.

Passengers are better off avoiding having any cannabis on them when they go to the airport. This will save them from finding out the hard way the kind of delays and back and forth issues that can arise when pot is found on you.

Passengers are also advised to keep in mind the laws of the different states through which they intend to travel since what is legal in one state may be criminal in another state.

A city councilman in LA has even suggested that so-called amnesty bins be availed at the airport so that passengers can place their marijuana in the bin before they get to a TSA checkpoint.

That idea isn’t as far-fetched as it may sound, because Las Vegas has about two dozen such bins at the McCarran International Airport.

The amnesty bin idea has its weaknesses because it means that a passenger will lose his or her legally purchased stash. The better option would be to harmonize the federal airspace rules with the rules in each state so that passengers aren’t left at the mercy of the individual officers who find cannabis in their luggage or on their person.

The contradicting positions of TSA and local police regarding cannabis clearly highlight the challenges that companies like Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) and Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) have to grapple with in the different jurisdictions where they have operations.

420 with CNW – Seattle Court Agrees to Vacate Marijuana Misdemeanor Convictions

October 3, 2018 15:20:50

All the seven judges of the Seattle Municipal Court have agreed to vacate all the convictions for marijuana possession dating back to 1996 when cannabis had not yet been decriminalized. The judges also made a decision to dismiss all cannabis possession charges against anyone who was being prosecuted within the jurisdiction.

This decision is the culmination of a process that started in February when Peter Holmes, the City Attorney, filed a motion calling on the court to take this historic action. He said that step was needed to right the wrongs committed against people of color, especially African Americans, who had been targeted during the drug war. Approximately 46% of all people prosecuted were African American.

The judges agreed with his motion and directed that the state should provide the last known addresses of the individuals affected by the court’s decision so that notices could be mailed to them about what has been agreed upon by the judges. About 542 individuals could benefit from the court’s ruling.

The people with marijuana criminal records now have 33 days within which to object to the court’s decision or file a request for an individualized finding.

Jenny Durkan, the Seattle mayor, welcomed the decision saying that the misdemeanor record had denied hundreds of people numerous opportunities ranging from jobs, education, housing and loans. Vacating the convictions would therefore give the affected people a chance to rebuild their lives even if the harm they suffered earlier could not be undone.

The period covered by the court’s decision was determined based on the years during which the Seattle Municipal Court had jurisdiction over marijuana misdemeanor cases. That jurisdictional authority started in 1996.

The decision to vacate those convictions hasn’t just dropped upon the city. Earlier in 2003, a decision was made by the voters to compel law enforcement agencies to take marijuana possession cases to the bottom of their priority list.

In 2010, another major step was taken by the City Attorney (Holmes) to halt the prosecution of people for cannabis possession.

It has taken months to figure out how to implement the decision to vacate the convictions because non-citizens would still be regarded as ex-cons by the immigration authorities since marijuana is still illegal at the federal level.

The court decided that any non-citizen who wanted a ruling that their previous marijuana conviction could no longer affect them in an immigration court could apply in that 33-day window mentioned in the court’s decision. Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) and SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) must be glad that the court gave ex-cons that clean slate since the measure can be an additional way to remove the stigma that has shrouded marijuana for so long.

420 with CNW – Why Legalizing Recreational Cannabis in New Jersey May Be a Game Changer

October 3, 2018 13:20:24

Medical cannabis has been legal in New Jersey since 2010. However, there are moves to expand the medical marijuana program and also decriminalize recreational pot in the state possibly by the end of this year or early next year. Industry watchers are suggesting that the legalization of recreational cannabis in New Jersey would be a game changer for the entire industry for a number of reasons.

First, the long history of cannabis prohibition in the state makes New Jersey one of the places with the largest number of people incarcerated for cannabis-related issues. New Jersey therefore has a big social wrong to address and the decriminalization of recreational cannabis could provide a template for the other states with similar issues to copy from.

This copying is likely to be similar to the way many states are copying the way California has regulated the home delivery of medical marijuana. “It has worked there, so there is no reason why it won’t work here” is a statement legislators and regulators are likely to use a lot when referring to the precedents set in New Jersey.

Secondly, New Jersey enforces some of the highest property rates in the U.S. This is likely to be factored into any legal regime designed to regulate the cannabis industry. The economic boom that could arise from the opportunities within the cannabis industry can encourage other states to borrow a leaf from New Jersey’s journey and trigger their own economic revival.

The third reason why New Jersey is likely to be a game changer for the cannabis industry is that it has the backing of the elected leaders of the community at different levels. For example, the governor, the senate president as well as the top honcho at the department of health are all eager to see cannabis legislation enacted as soon as possible.

This support for cannabis legislation is likely to produce a framework that will be a reference point for the other states which are also moving towards marijuana decriminalization.

The fourth reason is that New Jersey has a first-class healthcare system, world-class bio-tech and some of the top medical research institutions. These unique advantages mean that there will be no shortage of relevant research for product development or law reform. Consequently, New Jersey may be to the cannabis industry what Silicon Valley is to the tech industry.

The affluent population also makes it an exciting market for companies that wish to create products and test how the different market segments would respond to those innovations. Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) and NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL) can only dream of what their businesses would be like if all states had the characteristics of New Jersey.

For now, the country can only wait to see what sort of regulatory framework will be instituted when the cannabis bill is debated, modified and finally passed.
