CBDNewsBreaks – Grapefruit USA Inc. (GPFT) Launches World’s Most Effectively Bioavailable CBD Delivery Cream

Grapefruit USA (OTCQB: GPFT), a premiere California-based cannabis and hemp company, today announced the official launch of the world’s first patented time-release, hemp-based CBD topical cream with boosted bioavailability, made possible by its proprietary Hourglass(TM) technology. Hourglass, a unique method for topical delivery of CBD, leverages a proprietary process that involves the grinding of CBD into nano-sized particles, substantially smaller than the width of a human hair, which allows for significantly higher bioavailability and absorption. “Over the last several months, our Hourglass product team has received extremely positive product feedback and internal reviews from our product testers and retail customers after their regular use of our hemp-based CBD Hourglass topicals, which is extremely gratifying for the company and at base shows that the technology works,” said Bradley Yourist, CEO at Grapefruit USA. “Grapefruit’s Hourglass Topical Delivery Cream will fundamentally change the way individuals use CBD and other cannabinoids to obtain their holistic benefits.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – Cannabis Strategic Ventures Inc. (NUGS) Aligning Long-Term Strategy to Position in Vertically Integrated Marketplace

Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTCQB: NUGS), an emerging leader in the U.S. cannabis marketplace, is taking strategic steps to ensure its position in the growing cannabis market in California. Within the sector, sales of legal adult-use cannabis are expected to reach roughly $7.2 billion by 2024, up from 2.5 billion in 2018, according to Statista (https://cnw.fm/J2aOe). “Cannabis Strategic Ventures is aligning its long-term strategy with that growth in mind, as the company remains focused on shaping the future of the cannabis industry by striving for constant evolution in products, places and people,” reads a recent article. NUGS recently signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with California-based Devine Solution Inc. with the end goal of increasing its cannabis production capacity. The MOU outlined NUGS’s plans relating to its proposed acquisition of a Devine Solution-owned 15,600-square-foot indoor cannabis cultivation facility that has the potential to produce more than 7,000 pounds of premium cannabis flower per year for NUGS. “This deal represents the potential to sharply increase our premium cannabis production capacity and materially augment our status as an emerging leader in the vertically integrated California cannabis marketplace,” said NUGS CEO Simon Yu.

420 with CNW — Easing Global Travel Restrictions Bring More Cannabis Consumers to US

Cannabis tourism in the United States was just starting to pick up steam before the coronavirus pandemic struck. More than a dozen states had already legalized recreational cannabis and tourists, especially from countries without legal adult-use cannabis markets, were eager to sample recreational cannabis during their visits. However, as the virus started to spread around the world, the United States closed its borders to international travel as Americans prepared for a long period of self-isolation. More than a year and a half later, America began opening its borders to the world.

Unsurprisingly, this has caused an uptick in the number of cannabis tourists visiting from abroad. Some recreational cannabis sellers are already seeing increased tourist numbers while others are expecting an influx of international visitors after winter. Retailers who have served international customers in the past say they have to nail a couple of things to optimize these interactions. They take time to engage with and educate the tourists and make sure price structures, including local fees and taxes, are clearly explained. Most importantly, they hire bilingual budtenders.

Las-Vegas-based Planet 13 is already serving international visitors now that some borders are back open. According to the director of retail Lowell Brown, out-of-town visitors were 80% of Planet 13’s clientele with 10% of them being international travelers. Once the international travel ban took effect, the Las Vegas store focused on local customers, switching to a curbside-pickup and home-delivery model to make the process more convenient and safer for the customers. At the start of June 2020, Planet 13 went back to offering 24/7 service.

Colorado’s Native Roots, which has a store near the Denver International Airport, also drew a large percentage of its revenue (10%) from international travelers. The first few months of the pandemic were hard, says district manager Chad Ricketts. Ricketts, who manages the Tower Road store, says he has seen a noticeable increase in foreign customers. However, it is still a long way from the numbers the store used to see before the pandemic. On the other hand, Nicole Campbell, a retail operator in Nantucket, Massachusetts, saw an influx of domestic tourists over the summer.

She expects international tourist numbers to increase significantly during the November 2022 tourist season. Plenty of foreign shoppers have never seen a legal cannabis retailer before, she says, and visiting one is quite an exciting experience for them. She notes that some of the domestic tourists who visited Nantucket last summer may decide to go abroad next summer.

An uptick in cannatourist numbers would generally be good for the entire marijuana industry, including established companies such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures Inc. (OTC: NUGS) that would enjoy increased sales volumes.

420 with CNW — Linen vs. Hemp: What Do We Know About These Materials?

Linen and hemp are natural fibers that have been used for various purposes for a long time now. Both fibers have various similarities as well as differences, so let’s discuss them below.

Where do linen and hemp come from?

Fabric from linen is made from the cellulose fibers found in the stalk of the flax plant; hemp fibers are extracted from the stalk of the cannabis sativa plant.

Both fibers have been used for centuries. In particular, hemp has been used to make cloth, fishing nets and even paper.

What are the similarities between the two fibers?

Linen and hemp are both breathable and natural materials; they also feature strong long-lasting fibers. They are also tough fabrics that absorb dyes and moisture easily and soften after washing. Hemp and linen are also biodegradable and possess antibacterial properties. This is in addition to being resistant to mold, mildew and moths.

These fabrics are also known to improve wash after wash and have hollow fibers, which makes them effective insulators suitable for the winter and summer seasons.

Additionally, these fabrics can be blended with other fibers, with the primary negative being that both hemp and linen crease easily.

What are the differences between the two?

In comparison to linen, hemp doesn’t need a lot of maintenance as it becomes soft after it is first washed and gets softer after every additional wash. Hemp is also known to stretch less in comparison to other natural fibers, which makes linen’s elastic recovery better than that of hemp.

Fiber bundles of hemp are longer than those of flax, which many believe is why hemp is stronger in comparison to linen. It is said that hemp is almost eight times stronger than the flax fiber.

In addition to this, hemp is also resistant to UV light, which means that it won’t disintegrate or fade in the sun light. Furthermore, hemp is naturally resistant to pests and is rated among the top-five best crops for biodiversity.

What are some of the fibers’ applications?

Traditionally, linen is used in home textiles such as tablecloths, bedding, lampshades, wall coverings and tea towels. The fabric is also popular in summer fashion, which includes linen dresses, tops, shirts and skirts, which keep individuals airy and cool during the season.

On the other hand, hemp fiber is used as animal feed and building material, as an ingredient in skin care as well as in plastic, biofuel, paper and textiles. Under textiles, the strong fiber has various applications, which include hats, upholstery, shoes, rugs and apparel.

As more companies such as Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) begin manufacturing fabrics out of hemp, the world will have no choice but to embrace this ecofriendly and cost-effective material.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Embarking on Potentially Pivotal Study to Evaluate DehydraTECH-CBD

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) has embarked on its most ambitious study yet, the HYPER-H21-4. The study is among several geared towards evaluating DehydraTECH(TM)-processed CBD for the potential treatment of hypertension and heart disease. The learnings from two studies, HYPER-H21-1 and HYPER-H21-2, whose results are already out, have led to the HYPER-H21-4 clinical study. Further, blood pressure findings from HYPER-H21-3 will be reportable by the end of January 2022 and will contribute to the HYPER-H21-4. The study protocols for HYPER-H21-4 are being readied for submission to the Independent Review Board (“IRB”), and approval is expected by January 2022. HYPER-H21-4, which will be more comprehensive than Lexaria’s previous studies, is expected to involve 60 different volunteers aged between 45 and 70 years. Each of them will use three 150 mg doses of DehydraTECH-CBD every day over six weeks. A recent article notes, “The eventual goal is to seek regulatory approvals for DehydraTECH-CBD for potential use as a treatment for high blood pressure, and data from this study could be instrumental to that pursuit.”

420 with CNW — Study Finds That Legalizing Cannabis Doesn’t Cause Increase in Traffic Injuries

A new study has discovered that the move to legalize cannabis in Canada did not translate into a rise in traffic injuries. The study’s findings were reported in the “Drug and Alcohol Dependence” journal.

The objective of the researchers was to investigate claims from prohibitionists who argue that enacting laws to legalize marijuana would make roads less safe. Canada approved laws to legalize marijuana, which took effect in October 2018.

For their study, the researchers conducted an analysis on emergency-department data gathered from the Alberta and Ontario provinces between April 2015 to December 2019. The researchers found no evidence supporting the claims, noting in their report that implementing the Cannabis Act across the country wasn’t linked to evidence of substantial post-legalization changes in visits to the emergency departments in the aforementioned provinces due to traffic injuries among young drivers in particular, as well as all drivers in general.

The researchers say that this was despite the fact that the momentum toward legalizing the recreational use of marijuana globally had raised concerns that these laws could lead to a significant increase in marijuana-impaired driving and, subsequently, traffic-related injuries.

In a press release, Russ Callaghan, the lead author of the study, stated that the research’s findings were a bit surprising, noting that the results could have been influenced by the enactment of stricter federal laws. He gave the example of Bill C-46, which imposed serious penalties on impaired driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana as well as combined alcohol and marijuana use.

In addition to this study, prior research exists that also challenged the idea that legalizing marijuana contributes to increased traffic risks.

In a separate 2019 report, a congressional research body in the United States stated that concerns expressed by legislators over marijuana legalization making roads more dangerous may not be based on facts. The researchers tasked with investigating this discovered that evidence about the ability of marijuana to impair driving was currently inconclusive.

Other studies have also found on different occasions that traffic fatalities don’t grow after states legalize cannabis. For instance, research that was recently reported in the “Journal of the American Medical Association” discovered that small CBD doses had no considerable impact on an individual’s driving.

However, the study did find that similar amounts of THC were linked to short-term impairment, which the researchers equated to the impairment observed in drivers with a below 1% blood alcohol concentration.

This research provides further proof that allowing cannabis companies such as Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) to operate is unlikely to worsen the road accident situation in the jurisdictions where marijuana is legal.
