CannabisNewsBreaks – Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) Expanding Reach, Reports ‘Significant Balance Sheet and Operational Improvements’

Red White & Bloom (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) has been strengthening its revenue streams in the states where it operates, particularly in Michigan, Florida and California of late, while also working to deal with its debt to make it more long-term feasible, announcing recently that it has eliminated several million dollars’ worth of liabilities and annual expenses. “The acquisition earlier this year of a 15,000-square-foot manufacturing, processing and distribution facility as well as properties owned by PharmaCo Inc., in Michigan, plus full licensing for manufacturing both medical and adult-use cannabis products in the state, assured RWB’s efforts to become fully vertically integrated and to expand the reach of Platinum Vape,” notes a recent article. In an April 20 announcement, RWB noted its intention to “eliminate an intangible asset of about $77 million as well as a license liability of $60 million from its balance sheets following restructuring of its debt while reducing ‘well over $100 million of liabilities without any dilution to our shareholders,’ a continuation of efforts since last year to cut debt.” Of the strides RWB has achieved, the recent article quotes CEO Brad Rogers as saying, “We are very pleased with the significant balance sheet and operational improvements we have made in a relatively short period of time.”

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (NASDAQ: LEXX) DehydraTECH(TM) Technology Influencing the Pharmaceutical Industry

  • Lexaria began its human clinical study on oral nicotine alternatives, evaluating the effectiveness of its DehydraTECH-nicotine pouch performance 
  • Earlier in the year, the company also announced the commencement of its HYPER-H21-4 human clinical study on the effectiveness of DehydraTECH-processed CBD for hypertension treatment
  • Lexaria has also made some significant progress in the use of its technology for the enhanced delivery of antiviral drugs
  • It hopes that before the end of 2022, it will have built sufficient data to effect meaningful industry progress and sustainable increases in valuation

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), since its inception, has been pushing the boundaries of drug delivery. Through its patented technology, DehydraTECH(TM), the company has achieved more efficient delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients into the bloodstream while also increasing their bioavailability.

Its technology has seen application in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, consumer packaged goods, and over-the-counter capsules, pills, tablets, and oral suspensions. Lexaria has explored its usage in the delivery of cannabinoids, nicotine, antivirals, PDE5 inhibitors, and more.

In March 2022, the company announced that it would begin a human clinical study, NIC-H22-1, focused on oral nicotine alternatives to replace smoking. The study would involve 36 participants and compare DehydraTECH’s nicotine pouch performance with existing brands on the market. In a previous animal study, the DehydraTECH-nicotine proved to deliver peak nicotine performance to the bloodstream 10 to 20 times faster than the study’s controls (https://cnw.fm/dxNJC). 

Lexaria is also in the process of a clinical human study, HYPER-H21-4, to determine the effectiveness of DehydraTECH-CBD for hypertension treatment. Involving 60 participants, this ranks as one of the most comprehensive studies undertaken by Lexaria and is a significant step for the company as it seeks Investigational New Drug (“IND”) approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Results are expected in Q3 2022 (https://cnw.fm/ZuBWv). 

Lexaria has also made significant progress using its technology for the enhanced delivery of antiviral drugs. On April 26, 2022, it received its 25th patent granted worldwide in what Chris Bunka, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the company, referred to as “Another validation of the versatility of our DehydraTECH drug delivery technology” (https://cnw.fm/6FEzS). 

Earlier in the year, Lexaria also announced commencing the first phase of its epilepsy research program, EPIL-A21-1. The study would assess the seizure-inhibiting activity of CBD administered via the company’s DehydraTECH technology. More specifically, Lexaria aimed to compare its technology to the only FDA-approved CBD-based seizure medication Epidiolex, used to treat seizures associated with two rare forms of pediatric epilepsy- Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome (https://cnw.fm/0nkiX). 

All of Lexaria’s efforts serve to demonstrate the superior performance of both its research program and its DehydraTECH drug delivery technology. By doing so, it is looking to tap into various markets, including but not limited to oral cannabinoids, oral mucosal nicotine, antivirals, human hormones, dementia, rheumatoid disease and diabetes. 

Lexaria’s management hopes that before the end of the 2022 calendar year, it will have built sufficient data to effect meaningful industry progress and sustainable increases in valuation to steer the conversation forward and allow for the greater adoption of DehydraTECH.

420 with CNW — Momentum Builds to Pass Marijuana Banking Bill in Senate

The number of Democratic and Republican senators showing their support for including marijuana banking in the COMPETES Act is growing, and this suggests that not all is lost in regards to enacting a marijuana policy reform this year.

It should be noted that the marijuana banking bill was left out of the Senate version of the Innovation & Competitiveness Bill approved by the Senate, but it was included in the version passed by the House of Representatives. A bicameral conference has been established to work on the language of the final text, which will be forwarded to the desk of the president for enactment. Support is growing to include marijuana banking in that final text.

Senator Patty Murray, the third-most ranking Democrat in the upper legislative chamber, has taken the lead in urging fellow legislators in the Senate to support the inclusion of cannabis banking in the manufacturing law, which will be sent to President Joseph Biden. Murray says that she is using every way available to fight for the inclusion of marijuana banking. She notes that at the moment, the marijuana industry has been forced to operate on cash-only terms, and this puts employees and patrons of marijuana businesses in danger. She adds that this danger can be alleviated, and the bicameral conference discussions offer an opportunity to do just that.

Sen. Steve Daines, a Republican from Montana, agrees with Murray and adds that he thinks that other Republican senators can support the banking legislation. He points out that the bill already has the support of nine GOP senators, and he believes that many more would cast their vote in support of the cannabis banking measure should it ever be put up for a vote, even as a standalone piece of legislation.

The legislators selected to serve as conferees have until August to work out the final text of the innovativeness and manufacturing bill so that as attention shifts to the upcoming midterms, this crucial piece of legislation will have been completed. Legislative work has been known to grind to a crawling pace as attention shifts to the elections.

It is noteworthy that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has been opposed to passing cannabis banking legislation without addressing social equity issues and expunging nonviolent marijuana convictions. Since no new provisions can be added to the SAFE Banking Act during conference sittings, it is highly likely that Schumer could try and block the banking provisions from inclusion in the text sent to the president.

It remains to be seen whether the spate of violent robberies targeting cannabis shops will impress upon the conferees the urgent need to allow marijuana firms to have access to banking services. Once that banking is permitted, it will create a trickle-down effect that extends to entities that don’t touch the plant directly but are enablers of the industry in one way or the other, such as Advanced Container Technologies Inc. (OTC: ACTX).

420 with CNW — GOP Congressman Wants Committee Hearing on FDA’s Failure to Enact CBD Rules

The top-ranking Republican on a crucial House committee has written a letter to the committee chair requesting that a hearing be scheduled so that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can explain why it hasn’t established regulations for CBD products as well as the Delta-8 THC products that are currently abundant on the market.

Representative James Comer from Kentucky wants the Oversight and Reform Committee of the House to analyze why the FDA has failed to exercise its oversight/regulatory function over the different products made from hemp, particularly CBD products. The GOP lawmaker adds that as a result of the inaction by the FDA, contaminated products as well as ads targeting kids abound on the market. Mislabeling is also prevalent, he says.

In addition, he states that there is an urgent need to hear from the federal agency so that the committee can confirm that plans are underway to put in place regulatory mechanisms aimed at solving the problem in a way that protects children from the risks they face from such products.

It should be remembered that lawmakers from both sides of the political divide worked in concert to get hemp legalized back in 2018. The same bipartisan effort has also been exerted to advocate for the passing of rules aimed at regulating the different products that are made from hemp. While the FDA is cognizant of this pressure, it has remained silent and hasn’t made any concrete steps to publish any regulatory framework for the CBD sector.

Comer also mentions that many companies are selling products with delta-8 THC, an intoxicating product made from CBD. The legislator points out that delta-8 THC exists in a legal gray area since the farm bill of 2018 doesn’t refer to delta-8 THC. It only caps delta-9 THC at 0.3% for products that are deemed legal under current federal law. The only action that the FDA has so far taken is to write warning letters to some companies have had made unsubstantiated medical claims while marketing their CBD and delta-8 THC products.

Comer has a track record of being an avid supporter of the hemp sector, and he even carried CBD products to a House sitting back in 2019 as he sang the praises of the strides made by Kentucky in developing its hemp sector. Consequently, he can’t be accused of trying to get political capital out of pushing for this hearing at which the FDA will be tasked with explaining its plans for the CBD sector.

If regulations for the cannabidiol sector are enacted, companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures Inc. (OTC: NUGS) will be in a better position to compete nationally since all companies will be playing by the same rules.

420 with CNW — UNM Study Suggests Cannabis Can Combat Fatigue

According to a data analysis conducted by a team of researchers at the University of New Mexico, cannabis flower can do a much better job of boosting your energy levels than other common substances such as energy drinks or coffee. Those substances are traditionally used to get a lift when energy levels are down.

The team looked at the real-time data availed by medical marijuana users who have the Releaf app, an application through which cannabis users can track the marijuana products that they use and the effects that those products trigger.

This study is important because many health conditions induce fatigue and a number of conventional medications also trigger feelings of constant fatigue in the patients using those medicines. The pressures of daily life can also cause people to be fatigued, which explains why many people down a cup of coffee as soon as they wake up in order to boost their mental and physical alertness. Energy-boosting beverages, pills and other products are available on the market to address the needs of people who want an energy boost.

However, the findings of the UNM study show that a better bet may be cannabis flower.

To arrive at this conclusion, the researchers crunched the numbers on the feedback left by 1,224 users of the Releaf app. The team analyzed a total of 3,922 self-administered cannabis flower use sessions. Dr. Jacob Vigil, co-author of the study, explains that the data indicated that people get an almost instantaneous boost of energy while smoking marijuana.

The team found that regardless of the cannabis product used, such as those high in THC or high in CBD, there was a beneficial impact on the degrees of fatigue experienced by the users of the app.  The researchers say that their observation that all cannabis products reduced fatigue to a degree suggests that other phyto compounds, including terpenes and minor cannabinoids, could be responsible for alleviating fatigue. This creates a future possibility that treatments using cannabis products could become personalized with providers tweaking the formulation to suit the specific needs of a user.

This research also debunks another myth perpetuated by prohibitionists that cannabis makes people lazy. In contrast, the substance has been found to provide an energy boost that allows people to exercise and be productively engaged.

The UNM team is, however, quick to note that people may have to try different products from different manufacturers, such as Flora Growth Corp (NASDAQ: FLGC), before they find the one that provides optimum results in fighting fatigue. This is because our bodies are different and what may energize or stimulate one person may not have the same effect on another person.
