420 with CNW — Top IRS Official Reveals Cannabis Banking Reform Can Ease Tax Organization’s Work

Marijuana businesses have been unable to access financial services such as deposit accounts, cashless payments and loans since legal sales began in America. This is mostly due to the controversial plant’s classification as a Schedule I controlled drug, and it has had wide-ranging consequences on both cannabis businesses and federal authorities.

Players in the cannabis space are forced to transact on a cash-only basis, increasing their chances of robberies and making it difficult to account for and pay taxes. Furthermore, federal authorities, the IRS specifically, don’t often receive taxes that are due, and when they do, it is usually in large amounts of cash.

For quite a while, stakeholders, drug reform activists and lawmakers have urged federal authorities to allow cannabis businesses to access banking services. Recently, a top IRS official joined the growing number of figures that support banking services for America’s state-legal cannabis industry after she claimed that cannabis banking reform would ease the taxman’s work.

The IRS would like to get paid, IRS official Cassidy Collins said during an event hosted by UCLA’s Annual Tax Controversy Institute, and granting marijuana access to the banking system will be a big help. As it stands, marijuana presents a “special type of collection challenge” since the plant is federally outlawed and mostly stuck to cash-only payments that make it harder for the federal agency to receive taxes from cannabis businesses, Cassidy says.

She notes that the cash-only payment crisis can be attributed to two things: customers that are avoiding a paper trail that shows they purchased cannabis and banks that avoid working with cannabis businesses due to fear of reprisal by the federal government. Fortunately, lawmakers have introduced cannabis reform bills to give the industry access to banking services, and one of them has made headway.

Cassidy, a senior counsel in the IRS Office of Chief Counsel, says that while her views on cannabis banking may not represent the IRS’s or her own opinion, it would make the agency’s job of collecting taxes a lot easier. The Internal Revenue Service’s main objective, after all, is to collect taxes, and any legislation that eases the agency’s efforts is welcome.

Currently, cannabis business operators have to visit IRS tax assistance centers, which accept cash payments greater than $50,000. However, Cassidy notes that an operator will likely spend some time at the center because the federal employee has to check and double-check payments. The agency wants to work with companies in the cannabis space, regardless of the plant’s status with the federal government, to ensure it gets paid the taxes owed. Should lawmakers finally pass cannabis legislation, both cannabis companies and the IRS stand to benefit.

Cannabis banking reform will not only benefit the IRS but will also remove a major bottleneck faced by the entire marijuana industry, including sector players such as Hero Technologies Inc. (OTC: HENC).

420 with CNW — New Measure Will Give Scientists Access to Marijuana Dispensary Products

Last week, a group of federal legislators introduced the Medical Marijuana Research Act, which will eliminate barriers to carrying out research on cannabis. It will include permitting researchers to access marijuana from state-legal dispensaries. The measure was filed by Rep. Andy Harris, a prohibitionist, and Rep. Earl Blumenauer, a pro-legalization lawmaker. The bill will streamline the process for scientists to apply and gain approval to conduct research on marijuana.

In a recent interview, Blumenauer stated that federal legislations were still constraining researchers’ ability to study the various health benefits provided by marijuana, despite the fact that a majority of individuals in America are living in a state that has legalized some form of marijuana.

In late 2020, the House passed a similar version of the marijuana science measure. The Medical Marijuana Research Act, which was filed with support from half a dozen other cosponsors, will also make it easier for researchers to alter their research protocols without seeking federal approval. It would also mandate that the DEA license more cultivators and remove the limit on the number of organizations that can register to grow cannabis for research purposes.

In addition, it would also require that the Department of Health and Human Services present a report that offers an overview of the results of federal marijuana studies to Congress. Furthermore, it would remove additional layers of protocol review, minimize the number of costly security requirements and decrease approval wait times.

In his Congressional Record remarks, Blumenauer stated that the marijuana laws in the United States were broken, including the laws which govern research on marijuana. He explained that since marijuana was still classified as a Schedule I substance, scientists have to comply with strenuous requirements and jump through hoops just to conduct basic research on cannabis’ medical potential.

A Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act refers to drugs that aren’t approved for medical use because they have a high potential for abuse. Blumenauer asserted that expanded research would ensure that Americans had adequate access to transformative treatments and medicines. For about 50 years now, scientists have only been able to conduct research on cannabis grown at the sole federally approved facility located at the University of Mississippi.

In related news, the DEA proposed a significant increase in the amount of cannabis and psychedelics such as mescaline, MDMA, LSD and psilocybin that it wants to be produced in the country for research purposes in 2022. This is after it announced in May that it would soon begin licensing new marijuana growers.

It would be interesting to see how the era of scientists legally using dispensary-sourced cannabis products will pan out when those researchers make use of state-of-the-art dose-measuring devices such as those manufactured by RYAH Group Inc. (CSE: RYAH).

420 with CNW — Why CBD Is Viable Treatment for Skin Inflammation

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of the two common compounds found in marijuana, the other being THC. Unlike THC, which is a psychoactive compound, CBD is a nonpsychoactive compound. These compounds can be derived directly from the hemp plant or manufactured in a lab. Research has shown that CBD holds the potential for the treatment of various conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety.

It also possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which can help control various skin issues that commonly affect skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties in particular can be used to treat different skin illnesses. Some consumers prefer using CBD skincare products instead of other skincare and beauty products in the market. Below are some of the benefits one can derive from using CBD for skin inflammation.

CBD can be used to manage acne

Acne is a common inflammatory condition that affects individuals across the globe. It can cause redness and puffiness in an individual’s face, among other things.

CBD can help control acne by managing the redness, puffiness and inflammation associated with this common skin condition. This means that it’s possible for individuals affected with acne to keep their skin healthy and clear using CBD.

CBD can manage inflammation caused by aging

Inflammation is one of the signs of aging that can be seen in individuals. Inflammation is mainly brought about by the accumulation of free radicals on the skin in a process known as oxidative stress.

CBD’s excellent antioxidant properties can be used to control the inflammation caused by oxidative stress, which will in turn help reduce the visible signs of aging on an individual’s skin. This means that CBD skincare products can be used to keep an individual’s skin healthy, young and glowing.

In addition, CBD can also help control various skin diseases such as acne and psoriasis, which means that CBD skincare products can help manage different skin diseases naturally.

CBD can reduce inflammation caused by psoriasis

Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes itchy, scaly and red patches on the scalp, trunk, elbows and knees of an individual. This disease causes difficulties in individuals who suffer from this condition. CBD may help control this skin disease by reducing the inflammation associated with psoriasis and related disorders. CBD has also demonstrated its potential in reducing other symptoms associated with psoriasis, such as pain, swelling and scaly patches.

Companies such as Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) are leveraging the anti-inflammatory attributes of CBD by including this cannabinoid in the formulation of their beauty products, and from the way these products are growing in popularity, consumers seem to be receiving value for their money.

420 with CNW — Follow These Expert Suggestions When Sourcing CBD Oil

CBD was legalized in 2018 when the farm bill allowed the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp and its derivatives. Soon after, the hemp extract was enjoying growing popularity as people flocked to buy products such as CBD oil and gummies, partly due to its purported medical benefits. However, the industry is barely regulated by the federal government, and this has allowed some dishonest sellers to slip in and sell subpar and even contaminated CBD oil. The next time you want to buy CBD oil, keep the following tips in mind to ensure you do not end up with a subpar product that could compromise your health.

Request a Certificate of Analysis (“COA”). A COA is a document that outlines the CBD oil’s ingredients and provides the results of extensive tests for any contaminants. A COA is proof of transparency and shows that a company has confidence in the quality and safety of its products. Any CBD company that refuses to provide a Certificate of Analysis should have your alarm bells ringing: either they haven’t had their products tested to see if they meet safety standards or they have received negative feedback but would rather sell their products as is.

Once you get your hands on a product’s COA, make sure it has these three panels:

A cannabinoid analysis that indicates the concentration and weight of the cannabinoids in the CBD oil. Trace levels of THC can build up in your system and lead to a failed drug test
A heavy metal analysis panel indicating the levels of heavy metals such as mercury and lead. Extended exposure to these metals can severely disrupt your health. Any CBD oil product that has more than 0.001 mg/mL of cadmium, 0.0001 mg/mL of mercury, or 0.003 mg/mL of lead is a big no.
A pesticides analysis panel. Hemp will absorb any chemical agents that are introduced as it develops including herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. Continued exposure to these chemicals can disrupt your hormones, weaken your immunity and even cause liver toxicity.

Check that the testing was done by a third-party laboratory as it is proof of accurate and unbiased testing. A dishonest company is likely to fudge its internal tests if those tests produce unfavorable results.

Furthermore, you should also do a quick search on the lab to make sure it is qualified and trustworthy. If you have allergies, have a look at the ingredients as well and ensure the CBD oil is organic. Full-spectrum CBD oil will have every other cannabinoid except THC, and most CBD oils use either MCT oil, almond oil, sunflower oil, olive oil or vegetable oil as a carrier oil. Some companies also offer vegan CBD oil and gluten-free CBD oil, which will most likely be indicated in the list of ingredients or labels.

Finally, ask plenty of questions. Look at product reviews and talk to people who have used specific CBD products. Make sure you speak to your doctor too, especially if you are pregnant or on other medication.

Companies that make medicinal CBD products, such as Simply Sonoma Inc., appear to hold themselves to an even higher standard. Users would be well advised to do their due diligence in order to identify reputable companies that are committed to manufacturing high-quality products.
