The Aziza Project focuses on investing in operations in the underdeveloped Southern Africa region
The company’s Aziza Coin is an asset-backed security token
The Aziza Project owns 20 percent of Africa New Energies

London-based Aziza Project LLC offers digital tokens backed by assets. Aziza offers a tokenized oil and gas fund investment opportunity comprising a security token offering, which will permit coin holders to share in company profits. The Aziza Project owns 20 percent of Africa New Energies (ANE). ANE, which has been operating in Namibia for six years, has rights to a huge hydrocarbon concession in the nation valued at $500 million. The Aziza Project is looking to raise $60 million via the sale of the Aziza Coin, an asset-backed security token. The proceeds will be used to underwrite a drilling program and make investments in other early stage oil and gas companies.

A major difference between cryptocurrency tokens and coins is that tokens are built and hosted on existing blockchains. Coins, based on their own blockchains, are standalone cryptocurrencies (http://nnw.fm/eaqD8). The crypto industry is moving toward sensible mainstream regulation and adoption, as well as…

420 with CNW – South Korea Okays Medical Marijuana

December 19, 2018 04:20:56

In recent times, South Korea has been in the news for cracking down on cannabis use both locally and abroad. Their embassy in Canada even warned South Korean nationals that they will be prosecuted back home if they used medical or recreational cannabis in Canada or anywhere else. However, the East Asian country passed legislation in late November to allow the use of cannabis for medical purposes. This makes it the first East Asian country to do so.

The Food and Drug Safety ministry announced that epilepsy sufferers and those struggling with other rare diseases will be able to access medical marijuana early next year (2019).

The government further announced that medical cannabis products that had gained regulatory approval in other countries would be imported for use in South Korea. However, any medical cannabis product that hadn’t gained regulatory approval in its country of origin would be illegal to use in South Korea.

Similarly, South Korean companies will also be able to cultivate, manufacture and export medical cannabis products after getting regulatory approval from the relevant agencies.

To get medical cannabis, patients will have to submit their medical records showing that they have a qualifying condition. Those records will also be accompanied by a note from a doctor stating that the patient in question has a medical condition for which medication is unavailable in the country.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety will then scrutinize those papers and decide whether the patient can start using medical cannabis or not. Approved applicants will get their medical marijuana from the Orphan and Essential Drug Center.

In other words, the government will not allow private entities to participate in the distribution of medical cannabis to the citizens.

Some cannabis legislation advocates are beginning to speculate that the passing of the medical cannabis legislation may eventually pave the way for the legalization of recreational marijuana in the country.

However, such optimism may be farfetched given that the countries in Asia are known for being very conservative and any change comes extremely slowly. Let us not forget that Asian countries are famous for being very harsh on drug use. For example, extrajudicial killings are almost tacitly sanctioned by the Philippines government in case the victims are suspected drug traffickers.

Additionally, the examples of jurisdictions that started with medical marijuana and went on to decriminalize the adult-use of cannabis are still very few.

All the same, the move to allow patients in South Korea to access medical cannabis should be applauded since the substance may help those who had lost hope of ever getting any relief from their ailments.

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR), The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and other industry players welcome South Koreans to the growing community of people who are enjoying the medicinal effects of cannabis.

420 with CNW – New York Governor Speaks on Impending Cannabis Legalization

December 18, 2018 16:20:56

Traditionally, state Governors outline their plans during the State of the State address in January. However, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo has opted to deliver his address early (on Monday, December 17). He talked about his priorities for the first 100 days in office. The issues discussed included his views on the legalization of recreational cannabis in the state.

Gov. Cuomo said that adult-use cannabis should be permitted “once and for all”, and he pledged to see this done within a few months from the start of the new Democrat-dominated legislature in January.

In his speech, it was clearly evident that his opinions on marijuana had undergone a major evolution because he was now championing legalization and yet he had previously opposed marijuana, even medical marijuana, as a gate-way substance.

The Governor lamented that it was time to change things and fix the injustices that had been suffered by the African-American community and other minorities during the selective enforcement of the laws against marijuana use.

The speech didn’t give any details about how the recreational use of marijuana will be regulated within the state. However, some information about the likely regulatory framework can be gleaned from a report that was submitted to the Governor by the Department of Health in the state.

The report famously concluded that the benefits of regulating and taxing cannabis outweighed any shortcomings that could be attributed to legalization of adult-use cannabis. This report seems to have tied the hands of the Governor, especially given that his major opponent (Cynthia Nixon) made legalization the center of her campaign.

The Health Department report estimated that legalizing recreational cannabis would add between $248 million and $677 million in tax revenue within the first year of legalization. Additionally, legalization would fix some of the imbalances in the criminal justice system while easing the opioid crisis.

It is not yet clear how the state will spend the millions in taxes expected from the recreational cannabis industry, but several sectors and sections of the community are clamoring for that money.

For example, one suggestion is that the money be directed to fix the crumbling subway system while other activists suggest that the money should go to the black community that bore the brunt of the injustices during the war on drugs.

The state legislators will have their hands full as they debate and decide how these monies will be spent. Already, some assembly members are threatening to withhold their support for the bill in case the tax money isn’t allocated in the way they approve, such as going to the black communities.

Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN) and Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP) urge all involved to consider all sides before eventually passing a law that will allow New Yorkers who so wish to consume recreational cannabis in a way that is safe for all.

December 18, 2018 14:40:32

420 with CNW – Utah Seeks Cannabis Program Manager After Prop 2 Passes

December 18, 2018 04:20:43

The Mormon Church, lawmakers and other stakeholders formulated a compromise bill to legalize medical marijuana long before Prop 2 was voted on in the midterm elections. This compromise deal enabled the different factions to cede some ground on their hard stance about medical marijuana and Prop 2 became a pawn to shape how the final legislation would appear depending on which side won the polls.

Now the polls are over and a law is in place to operationalize the medical cannabis program. In light of this development, Utah published an online advert calling for interested individuals to apply for the job of “Cannabis Program Manager”.

The time within which applications can be submitted is slowly ticking away and the deadline is literally hours away. The job is a hefty one, since the selected candidate will spearhead the establishment of a system to regulate not just medical marijuana but industrial hemp as well.

Hemp cultivation was permitted under the recently passed Hemp Farming Act of 2018, so the Cannabis Program Manager has his or her work cut out.

Among other things, the person selected will be expected to have the ability to “navigate highly stressful and political circumstances” in the course of executing his or her duties. This candidate requirement is a reflection of how sharply divided the population is regarding marijuana despite legalization.

The ideal candidate is also expected to have stellar academic qualifications that will enable him to be the go-to expert on all matters cannabis and industrial hemp.

That person will provide training and leadership to the staff charged with inspecting and enforcing the provisions under which medical cannabis became legal in the state.

It is noteworthy that that Utah opted to select an individual to head the medical cannabis program. Many other states place this responsibility in a commission or other such body where several people at the same seniority level share the responsibility of overseeing such programs.

It remains to be seen how the Utah program will pan out under the direction that they have chosen. Actually, that individual may do a better job than boards since he or she will know that the buck starts and stops at his or her desk regarding the successful implementation of the program. All that is therefore left is to put the right person in office without bending to the wishes of one group or the other since the politicking time has long elapsed and work must be done.

Sproutly Canada, Inc. (OTCQB: SRUTF) (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) and other cannabis sector participants like Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD) wish the person selected to head the Utah program all the success in the new office.

420 with CNW – Study Finds Proximity to Cannabis Dispensaries Increases New Home Prices

December 17, 2018 16:20:23

A recent study whose findings were published in the Contemporary Policy journal shows that prices of new homes jump by up to 7.7 percent in case a cannabis dispensary opens close to those homes.

The researchers compared the data for new homes in Denver, Colorado that were within quarter a mile, half a mile and three-quarters of a mile from a newly opened dispensary. The researchers discovered that the biggest increase (7.7 percent) in price occurred in the price of homes that were within quarter a mile from the cannabis dispensary.

The homes that were within half a mile (but beyond the quarter mile mark) had modest price increases of about 4.7 percent. However, these price hikes fizzled out as the distance between a new home and the cannabis dispensary increased.

It is also interesting to observe that the effect of cannabis dispensaries on housing prices mirrored the effect of new groceries or shopping malls in neighborhoods. However, the researchers refrained from trying to explain why the opening of a cannabis dispensary had such an effect on the price at which homes were sold. They could only guess that it may be due to the convenience of accessing the marijuana dispensary, especially when the public is positive towards marijuana in general.

Another study conducted thousands of miles away in the Netherlands seems to confirm that the findings in Colorado are valid. Igor Goncalves Koehne de Castro, a doctoral student, wrote a master’s dissertation about what happens when a cannabis coffee shop closes in a neighborhood.

He discovered that the rents paid by Airbnb clients reduced by approximately 3 percent in case a cannabis coffee shop closed within a radius of 250 meters from a facility registered on Airbnb.

Locations that were further than 250 meters from the closed coffee shop didn’t register any change in rents.

De Castro had plenty of case studies to follow since lots of coffee shops had closed within the four-year window he examined (2014-2017). Various factors, such as the enactment of laws barring cannabis coffee shops from operating within a certain radius from a school, compelled different marijuana coffee shops to close.

The statistical models from which he gathered his findings reveal that the coffee shops may be an attraction since Amsterdam is a tourist destination and visitors want to be within walking distance from a cannabis coffee shop.

This pair of studies in different geographical locations proves that cannabis legalization has widespread benefits beyond the ones immediately noticeable (taxes and direct jobs in the industry, for example). This also gives further justification that the Colorado jury which dismissed a claim that a marijuana grow facility depressed the value of a nearby property made a correct decision to throw out that claim.

Redfund Capital Corp. (CSE: LOAN) (OTC: PNNRF) (Frankfurt: O3X4) and other industry participants like SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) welcome this piece of additional positive news about the effects that cannabis is having upon the lives of people.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Cyberfort Software, Inc. (CYBF) Delivering Vital Solutions Amid Rising Cybersecurity Threats

December 17, 2018 14:49:27

Cyberfort Software (OTC: CYBF) provides cybersecurity solutions that protect various devices against hacking in the forms of content filtering and ad blocking. These defenses are becoming increasingly essential as reports of data breaches continue to grow. A recent article discussing the company reads, “Cyber-security threats manifest in many ways. They could be huge data breaches like the one at credit reporting agency Equifax, which may have affected 143 million Americans. They could take the form of ransomware, “weaponization” of artificial intelligence (AI), cyber-physical attacks that disrupt electricity supply or similarly essential services or interference with voting systems. These are some of the major threats, but others abound. … Additional cyber threats include phishing attacks (fraudulent methods to obtain sensitive information, such as passwords or bankcard numbers), distributed denial of service (DDOS) strikes that paralyze servers by overloading them, malvertising (hiding malware in ads) and backdoor attacks, which involve exploiting software vulnerabilities. They can leave many out of pocket. The hack of Google’s official G Suite Twitter account promoted a bitcoin scam that may have ensnared many of its more than 800,000 followers.”

QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Sees Major Advantages in Irgon Lithium Mine Project

December 17, 2018 10:00:35

Flagship Irgon Lithium Mine Project recently identified additional significant spodumene mineralization
Global lithium-ion battery market forecast to reach $71 billion by 2025
Worldwide sales of EVs expected to almost quadruple to 4.5 million units by 2020

An undeniable opportunity exists when referring to the Irgon Lithium Mine Project, wholly owned by Vancouver-based QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ). As part of QMC’s ongoing exploration and development of the Irgon Project, located in southern Manitoba’s bountiful Cat Lake-Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field (http://nnw.fm/FIq1Z), the company’s geotechnical field crews recently identified additional significant spodumene mineralization. This discovery is a significant one, since spodumene mineralization is known as being the primary source of hard-rock lithium. Pegmatites hosting spodumene mineralization may contain large amounts of lithium and, in addition, can host other rare-element-bearing minerals (http://nnw.fm/FIq1Z).

Lithium is the main ingredient in the lithium-ion batteries used for energy storage and power provisioning. The global appetite for electric vehicles and the rise of modern devices that rely on lithium-ion batteries are expected to drive the lithium-ion battery market to reach…

Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (GRYN) Can Grow Cannabis at Lower Cost with Aeroponics

December 17, 2018 09:15:19

Global legal marijuana market to reach $146.4 billion by 2025
Aeroponic systems produce higher quality at lower cost
Green has low-cost aeroponic cannabis cultivation system

The global cannabis market is proving to be a precocious new kid on the block. In 2010, respected Harvard economist Jeffery Miron conservatively estimated the U.S. marijuana market to be around $14 billion. Back then, just 11 states – Arizona, California, Hawaii, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington – had legalized medical marijuana, and no state had legalized adult recreational use. However, in April 2018, a report from Grand View Research estimated that the value of the global legal marijuana market – medical and recreational – would reach $146.4 billion by the end of 2025 (http://nnw.fm/9J7fb). Such growth, if realized, would certainly merit the marker of maturity. As the market grows and competition intensifies, efficiency in cultivation and production methods will be a crucial aspect of the value chain, making cost-effective grow solutions like those offered by Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTC: GRYN) increasingly important.

Green Hygienics is a full-scope, premium cannabis cultivation company targeting the high-end medical and adult-use recreational markets. Its strategy revolves around hygienics, the science of preserving and promoting…

420 with CNW – Medical Marijuana May Soon Be Allowed in Federally Subsidized Housing

December 17, 2018 04:20:29

The New York and New Jersey regional officer of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Lynne Patton, has revealed that there is a need to reconcile state and federal marijuana laws so that individuals who are using medical marijuana in locations where it is legal don’t risk losing federally subsidized housing.

She was reacting to media reports about a 78-year old man (John Flickner) who had been evicted from his apartment in Niagara Falls, New York due to his use of medical cannabis.

Lynne Patton went on to reveal that she was working to get Flickner back into permanent housing once more, as well as helping any other individuals in the same situation.

The good news is that John Flickner received a call from his former landlord asking him to retake his apartment shortly after Flickner’s case appeared in the media. The company owning that block of apartments also revealed that it was reconsidering its policy on medical marijuana. It was not clear whether the Department of Housing and Urban Development played a role in getting Flickner to return to his old apartment.

New York is expanding its medical cannabis program, and plans are underway to legalize recreational marijuana as well. These developments have raised concerns about what will happen to all those people who live in federally subsidized housing and want to use medical or recreational marijuana.

It should be remembered that President Clinton signed a law in 1998 barring landlords from having a tenant (new or existing) who uses an illegal substance, such as cannabis.

However, President Obama’s government wrote a memo in 2014 clarifying that landlords had the liberty to accept or reject (even evict) tenants who consume illegal substances. The eviction of Flickner was therefore done at the discretion of the landlord since there was no legal obligation for that action to be taken.

Good news may be on the way for people in federal housing regarding marijuana. This is because the Department of Housing and Urban Development (as hinted upon by Patton) is working to clear up the policy issues resulting from the difference between state and federal laws. In the meantime, Congress may act on the same issue either sooner or after HUD reconsiders its position formally.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat from DC, introduced a bill that seeks to provide housing safeguards at the federal level for people using either medical or recreational marijuana in legal states.

Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF), Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) and others in the industry are saddened by the fact that an old man (John Flickner) had to undergo the distress of being evicted in order for the housing authorities to see that things need to change.

420 with CNW – UN Committee Delays Release of Cannabis Scheduling Recommendations

December 14, 2018 16:20:03

The Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD) of the World Health Organization (WHO) met in November to discuss whether the scheduling of marijuana should be revised from its current status as a Schedule 1 substance to another less restrictive category. In a surprise move, the expected release of their findings has been postponed to January instead of this month as had earlier been indicated.

The ECDD called for, and received input from various stakeholders regarding various aspects of cannabis, such as its medicinal value as well as evidence of abuse or overdose incidents. The response to this call was massive, as was the situation when the FDA asked for input on the same matter in October.

The WHO committee subsequently released a pre-review report which had some positive findings about cannabis, such as the observation that no evidence had been presented that any fatality had ever occurred due to a cannabis overdose. The pre-review also indicated that there was evidence to show that some ingredients in cannabis can improve sleep and reduce pain.

The findings in the pre-review prompted the agency to take their examination a notch higher with a critical review done on the findings gathered. The findings of that in-depth critical review would then be used by the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs to decide whether to revise the scheduling of cannabis or leave it in the category where it is currently listed.

It is the release of the recommendations made after the in-depth critical review that have been delayed until January next year.

The Expert Committee said more time was needed “for clearance reasons” before the recommendations are made public. This announcement poured cold water on the marijuana advocates’ spirits since they had expected a favorable recommendation on the basis of the findings stated in the pre-review.

Speculation is rife that the delay was motivated by political factors since a recommendation to reschedule cannabis would have imposed a lot of pressure on various authorities to adjust their stance on cannabis. Remember, the UN sets the agenda for many international policies and member states are expected to follow the suggestions made by the world body.

Whatever the true reason for the delay, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs will meet in March 2019 and vote on the scheduling of cannabis. So, a decision will still be made one way or the other, and it may be hard for the Commission to keep cannabis as a Schedule 1 substance yet pure CBD (cannabidiol) was removed from international scheduling so that access by patients isn’t restricted. CBD can be extracted from cannabis.

Industry players like Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) and Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) eagerly await the decision made by the UN since such a decision will have a global impact on how the cannabis industry evolves.

NetworkNewsBreaks – Aziza Project LLC Set to Profit from Market Shift

December 14, 2018 14:21:27

The Aziza Project navigated several regulatory hurdles on its way to being one of the first security token offerings (“STOs”) in the hydrocarbon resource sector. A recent market shift aligns the company for even more success. An article further discussing the company reads, “Throughout the evolution of the fund, a clear vision of powering and connecting southern Africa through localized, ethical oil and gas projects has driven things forward. The realization of its vision hinges on the successful execution of a differentiated and professional crypto offering, which is geared toward institutional investors. … The Aziza Coin is structured in such a way that the token will appeal readily to institutional buyers like hedge funds, who have gone from being a relatively minor player in Initial Coin Offerings (“ICO”) to representing the lion’s share of ICO investment (http://nnw.fm/59HLv) – a shift in the ICO market that is especially true, now that the sector has burnt off a lot of the speculative fervor.”

420 with CNW – Study Shows Your Working Memory May Improve After Smoking Cannabis

December 14, 2018 04:20:18

One of the stereotypes that surround marijuana consumers is that they become forgetful when high on cannabis. However, a new study at the University of Florida has established that such a stereotype is just a myth.

The researchers designed the study in a unique way that involved exposing rats to cannabis smoke so that they inhale it. The rats were first taught to perform a number of delayed response tasks, such as poking the nose into a feeding trough a defined number of times before getting a reward of food pellets.

Alternatively, the rats in the study were required to look for, and press a lever several times before getting their reward.

The rats were divided into two groups based on their gender. In total, 32 rats took part in this study. Females tended to have lower working memory scores when compared to the scores of the males before cannabis smoke was introduced.

The researchers compared the working memory scores of the two groups when the rats were sober and how they performed after being exposed to cannabis smoke. The results showed that there appeared to be no difference in the scores obtained by the male rats when sober and after inhaling cannabis smoke.

However, there was a marked improvement in the working memory of the female rats when they performed the delayed response tasks after being exposed to the marijuana smoke. Remember, the female rats had lower scores in the working memory tasks performed prior to the introduction of cannabis smoke.

The placebo smoke used as a control in the study didn’t trigger any changes in the cognitive performance of either the male or female rats. This leaves the only logical conclusion for the better working memory as attributable to the cannabis smoke to which the rats were exposed.

The researchers also experimented with the dosage, the timing and the route of cannabis administration. Each of these variables triggered a difference in the working memory of the rats in the study.

Consequently, the researchers concluded that the cognitive outcomes observed will vary based on the specific route, dosage and duration of cannabis administration. They called for additional research to be done on this subject so that a better understanding of the effects of cannabis on cognitive function can be attained.

Stakeholders in the cannabis sector, such as Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) and Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) welcome all scientific studies that help to separate fact from myth on the subject of marijuana.

420 with CNW – Cannabis Cooking Classes Equip Maryland Patients with Edibles Making Skills

December 13, 2018 16:20:19

A couple that owns a gourmet condiment company in Baltimore has branched into a new niche of teaching medical cannabis card holders how to cook with cannabis. Will Parks and his wife Gwenele Parks decided to branch into cooking with cannabis because they are certified medical cannabis patients and needed other ways to consume their medicine instead of being restricted to smoking it. They imagined, and rightly so, that other patients were interested too.

Maryland banned edibles from its medical marijuana program, but the Parkses and others have partnered with some medical cannabis dispensaries in the state to teach people how to blend marijuana into various foods at home.

In order to avoid flouting the law, Will Parks and his wife don’t use actual cannabis as they conduct their cooking with cannabis classes. Instead, they use ordinary ingredients while teaching the concepts of infusing food with cannabis.

The couple has so far held six classes since July, with some sessions being sold out. Infusing food with cannabis makes the effects of the cannabis last longer since food isn’t digested and absorbed as quickly as smoking cannabis.

The number of patients on the medical cannabis program has been growing rapidly. For example, by November, the registered patients had more than doubled from the 22,437 who had got medical cannabis cards in April. This massive growth is fueling the demand for the lessons offered by the Parkses.

Many patients, such as Kiara Walker, said that they attended the classes in order to get skills to make edibles. The edibles can be carried around discreetly without attracting any of the stigma that is still directed towards those who smoke cannabis.

However, some people still regard cannabis edibles as another avenue for recreational users to abuse cannabis. Will Parks thinks such an attitude is wrong because people can abuse anything, including food and alcohol.

He emphasizes that the lessons he and his wife conduct pay a lot of attention to cannabis dosing so that patients aren’t exposed to the side-effects of consuming too much cannabis at once. Furthermore, this information on dosing is vital given that the effects of cannabis don’t start as quickly as is the case when you smoke the substance.

That wait time can expose you to the risk of eating too much, so knowledge about dosing requirements will safeguard you against that risk.

Will and his wife don’t just teach and leave it at that. They go a step further and give their students a packet of written instructions so that the people who attend the cooking classes can experiment with different recipes while at home.

This, however, doesn’t seem to quieten the critical voices against cannabis edibles and the classes organized by people like Will Parks and his wife. They say cannabis edibles can still end up in the hands of minors, but such critics forget that medical cannabis is also kept at home where minors may access it if care isn’t taken. Similar precautions are taken to keep edibles out of the wrong hands.

Nonetheless, Generation Alpha, Inc. (OTCQB: GNAL), Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) and other participants in the marijuana industry applaud the creativity of Will and Gwenele Parks.

420 with CNW – US Federal Agency Announces Funding for Cannabis Research

December 13, 2018 04:20:42

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) held a workshop on December 8 to interact with representatives of various cannabis industry stakeholders and federal agencies to discuss cannabinoid research. At the end of that workshop, the federal agency announced four funding opportunities for entities that were interested in conducting research on natural products like cannabis.

For example, one funding opportunity is earmarked for looking into how cannabinoids, excluding THC, affect pain.

Those four research projects are also intended to map the “biological signature” of the natural products being studied as well as establishing dosage levels in case those products are found to be therapeutic.

The researchers who want to access the funding need to secure authorization from the different federal government agencies, such as the DEA, which have jurisdiction over the controlled substances in question. Additionally, the researchers should provide detailed plans of how they intend to conduct the studies.

It is interesting to note that only one of the four funding opportunities makes a direct reference to marijuana even if the content of the briefs appear to focus on cannabis. The careful wording may be an attempt to work around the existing restrictions on funding cannabis research.

The current call for research proposals comes after the Drug Enforcement Administration granted different cultivators authorization to grow approximately 5.400 pounds of marijuana in 2019. This quantity more than quadruples what was grown with DEA permission in 2018.

The agency explained that the spike in the quantity of cannabis grown with the agency’s approval was intended to meet the huge demand for research-grade cannabis in the coming year.

The increased supply from different sources is expected to ease some of the frustrations that researchers had with the Mississippi farm where cannabis could only be obtained in previous years. Researchers complained that they couldn’t obtain sufficient quantities from that Mississippi farm, and even when they got the cannabis it was of such poor quality that it would hardly serve the purpose for which it was obtained.

The fact that different government agencies participated in the workshop organized by NCCIH may indicate that there is a conversation going on within the federal government about cannabis. It is possible that the feds are giving serious thought to the possibility of passing legislation to allow medical cannabis at some point in the future. If that wasn’t the case, then federal money wouldn’t be channeled into cannabis research, or researchers wouldn’t be permitted to study cannabis.

Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP), Green Hygienics Holdings, Inc. (OTC: GRYN) and other stakeholders hope that the funding opportunities increase, and that the federal government eases its prohibitionist stance on marijuana.

420 with CNW – Interactive Cannabis Museum Opens in Las Vegas

December 12, 2018 16:20:07

The marijuana industry looks poised to grow massively, and the current wave of legalization in different US states has paved the way for entrepreneurs and innovators to bring new products to the market. The latest addition to the cannabis world is an interactive cannabis museum in downtown Las Vegas aptly named “Cannibition”.

This museum is the brainchild of J.J Walker. He felt that marijuana needed to be given an immersive experience akin to what ice cream, pizza, avocadoes and other products get.

The entrepreneur intends to teach visitors to Cannibition about the entire journey of cannabis from when it is a seed until it is consumed. With a ticket going for $24, museum visitors can expect an unforgettable treat that will see them observe a cannabis grow operation, admire the largest cannabis bong in the world, literally take a dive into a huge pool of cannabis buds, and have so many other cannabis-related experiences.

J.J Walker isn’t just getting into the cannabis industry. He was in thick of things when Colorado legalized medical marijuana in 2008 and he opened a dispensary at a time when the state didn’t have any regulations in place for the industry.

Walker sold the dispensary about three years later and started a cannabis tour company. He operated that tour company for four years and his work there led him to be inspired to start the museum.

He felt that people interested in cannabis deserved better. For example, the cannabis lounges in states where adult-use cannabis is legal aren’t anything to post on Instagram because they tend to be plain locations with seats where people can smoke their joints and leave half an hour later.

Cannibition is intended to address that shortcoming and give cannabis consumers and non-consumers an experience they will enjoy while learning about the plant.

For example, the experienced of “being smoked” into giant red lips before emerging on the other side to the different fragrances of cannabis will thrill all your senses. The experience of touching the 24-foot largest bong in the world is also exhilarating. Everything was designed to be “Instagrammable”, so your smartphone camera will have a very busy time while you are in the museum.

Walker selected Las Vegas because of the 43 million visitors that come there each year. He sees an opportunity to teach as many people as possible about cannabis so that the transformation of cannabis from the shunned “weed” to a lifestyle can be completed sooner.

Remember that the world’s largest cannabis superstore was also opened in Las Vegas, so the city seems to be carving a place for itself as the cannabis capital of the world. Cannabis industry participants like Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) and FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI) (OTCQB: FNNZF) congratulate J.J Walker and his team for contributing to the cannabis culture.

NetworkNewsBreaks – First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) Drilling Extends Mineral Zonation Past Previously Known Limits

December 12, 2018 14:37:03

First Cobalt (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (ASX: FCC), a vertically integrated North American pure-play cobalt company, recently furthered the mineral zonation at its flagship project beyond the formerly recognized limits (http://nnw.fm/8MoW9). An article discussing the company reads, “The results were from three holes drilled in the eastern end of the strike and three others in the central portion. The drilling shows additional mineralization between the two zones and in the footwall of the Waite Zone, with “massive sulphide intercepts” between the zones boosting the discovered continuity and size of higher grade cobalt mineralization near underground adits from prior operations. … The drilling also extends the known depth of mineralization in some locations, with mineralization remaining open at depth.”

December 12, 2018 12:28:41

Mobility as a Service market set to hit $358.35 billion by 2025
Ridesharing rental market estimated at 1.25 million drivers and growing
40 percent of aspiring drivers do not own a qualifying car

The growth of urban populations with money to spend on automobiles has made driving a nightmare in some cities. In 2010, for example, a massive traffic jam in China that snaked for 100 kilometers (60 mi) lasted for 5 days or longer.
