CannabisNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Announces Impressive Findings of Oral THC Absorption Study

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, today announced that its recent oral tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) absorption study THC-A21-1 revealed that DehydraTECH(TM)-THC delivered via oral ingestion required only 15 minutes to deliver THC levels in blood plasma comparable to levels achieved at 45 minutes with concentration-matched controls. According to the update, DehydraTECH-THC delivered more THC into the bloodstream during the study than the industry standard medium chain triglyceride (“MCT” or “coconut oil”) based control formulation from the two-minute mark onwards, then dropped rapidly to the same level as the MCT control by the six-hour mark. “The cannabis industry continues to use outdated formulations and processes that ignore the needs of modern THC users,” said Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria Bioscience Corp. “THC users today include recreational, medicinal and pharmaceutical users, all of whom need technology that doesn’t rely on harmful delivery methods such as smoking but still provides rapid onset and high bioavailability, which common oral formats do not offer. Our study findings demonstrated rapid delivery, increased overall THC delivery, and higher brain tissue delivery; all of which is consistent with the wants and needs of THC customers.”

420 with CNW — Safeguards Marijuana Extractors Should Consider for Facilities

Processors usually use different methods to extract marijuana. While there is a lot that goes into this, safety should be a top priority at all times. Natvana’s CEO Casey Flippo states that extraction laboratories should implement the applicable safety standards for the method of extraction they use.

The most common methods of extraction include:

  • Rosin, which is regarded as the safest method of extraction. However, individuals should be careful as burns are possible
  • Ethanol is another extraction method that can create a flash point if too much vapor leaks into the air. The method is also highly flammable
  • Carbon dioxide extraction is another method used by processors, which is dangerous if a leak occurs as it puts individuals at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Hydrocarbon extraction is regarded as the most dangerous method of extraction as it could blow up if the flammable solvents utilized leak and are ignited

Other health hazards in marijuana production include eye and skin exposure to harsh cleaning products and chemicals, hearing loss from being around extremely loud equipment and the breathing of marijuana dust. It should be noted that properly run laboratories that have been designed and built in the proper way have significantly decreased safety risks.

Below are a few factors processors should consider when establishing a new facility to ensure that safety is upheld.

Personal protective equipment

Essential Extracts founder Nick Tanem states that personal protective equipment should always be worn at all times in the laboratory, regardless of whether the facility uses solventless or hydrocarbon methods of extraction. He notes that the PPE also helps keep products safe from contamination and the laboratories clean. This equipment includes eyewear, nitrile powder-free gloves and ear protection.

Employee training

Managing partner of Illuminated Extractors JD Garrick states that it is important to ensure that all employees are trained in all processes and products used in the lab, in addition to following the Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards.

Proper facility design

The chief brand officer of Spirits Extraction Products Liz Geisleman states that having a proper facility design can ward off accidents. She adds that having proper ventilation located in the right spots is also a must, as some gases are heavier than others.

Garrick adds that having a third-party certified engineer take a look at design plans before construction can begin will make certain that someone has acknowledged that the premises will be safe to work in.

When medical marijuana products are made with the safeguards above in mind, and those products are then administered using enabling tools such as the IoT dose-measuring devices manufactured by RYAH Group Inc. (CSE: RYAH), users are likely to have better outcomes than if they were using random ways to determining the right dosage of their plant medicines.

420 with CNW — Mainstream Companies Want In on Growing CBD Sector

When the 2018 farm bill legalized the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp and its derivatives, it opened the floodgates on an extremely lucrative market. With less than five years of legal sales under its belt, the hemp-derived cannabidiol (“CBD”) sector has seen hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of product sales. Extracted from hemp, CBD is said to be chock full of potent and versatile medicinal properties and consumers have been purchasing CBD products in droves to reportedly help alleviate issues such as anxiety, chronic pain, and insomnia, among others.

According to a Grand View Research report, the CBD market was estimated to be worth $1.64 billion in 2020 and is poised to hit $13.9 billion by 2028. Unsurprisingly, mainstream supplement companies are throwing their hats into the ring to cash in on CBD as it becomes even more lucrative in the next few years. Plenty of companies are already producing CBD-infused foods, beverages, and nutritional supplements, even though the farm bill didn’t explicitly allow the infusion of CBD into edible products, and their bottom lines have piqued the interest of mainstream companies.

Several of them have even begun consulting with former mainstream packaged goods professionals. Aurora Cannabis appointed Nelson Peltz, Proctor & Gamble (“P&G”) Co. director, as a strategic advisor while Ignite International Ltd hired Curtis Hefferenan, a former P&G executive as the global head of sales.

Aside from its medical benefits, consumers are also drawn to CBD because it is not psychotropic, unlike THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol). Although hemp is in the cannabis family, it contains limited amounts of THC, the cannabinoid responsible for marijuana’s intoxicating effects. Consequently, hemp-extracted CBD will not intoxicate you as marijuana would. Furthermore, CBD’s versatility allows it to be infused into a wide variety of products, allowing customers who aren’t a fan of one product type, say tinctures, for example, to choose tablets or even topicals instead. With people becoming more aware of the adverse side effects of pharmaceuticals, alternative health and wellness products, such as those containing CBD, have seen a surge in popularity.

Nevada-based Grove, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRVI) is banking on CBD’s growing popularity as a health and wellness product. After its initial public offering (“IPO”) back in June where the company raised around $11 million in capital, Grove has been working to become the top producer of CBD-infused nutritional supplements. The capital allowed Grove to purchase VitaMedica, an online nutritional supplement seller, to capture a share of the global nutraceuticals market. Only time will tell if Grove’s gamble on CBD will pay out.

Companies that seem to be doing well in the growing CBD space include The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER), which has established its footprint across the United States and is working with major retail chains.

420 with CNW — Key Mexican Senator Outlines Cannabis Legalization Steps

Three years ago, the Supreme Court in Mexico ruled that the country’s ban on cannabis consumption was unconstitutional, ending decades of cannabis prohibition and requiring that lawmakers reform cannabis laws. Mexico’s Congress was granted a deadline to repeal prohibitionist cannabis policies, now considered unconstitutional, but policymakers failed to do so within the allotted time. Both chambers of Congress spent months discussing and working on a legalization bill, repeatedly asking the court to extend the deadline.

Last year, the Senate passed a bill and sent it to the Chamber of Deputies, which made revisions and sent it back. However, after a few Senate committees took up and cleared the amended measure, some leaders stated that the amendments made the legislation unworkable. This June, three years after the Supreme Court first declared that cannabis prohibition in the country was illegal, the Senate voted to put an end to prohibition on its own after lawmakers failed to act in time. However, since all the top court did was decriminalize cannabis, the country still did not have regulations for legally sanctioned sales.

Now a top Mexican senator has indicated that lawmakers may finally pass a cannabis legalization bill during the new session. During a press conference, Senate Majority Leader Ricardo Monreal Avila said that lawmakers plan on filling this gap, which is the lack of regulations, during this session. They have a chance to deliberate upon and approve the “long-overdue law,” he says, ending a century of cannabis prohibition and criminalization. The legislation would in turn open the country to a nationwide and international multimillion dollar market and help to reactivate Mexico’s economy.

The cannabis legislation passed by the Senate may need further revisions before it is ready for passing during this session, Avila noted, including modifications to tax collection frameworks. Both chambers need to strive to create a bill that guarantees the freedoms and rights of all people involved, eradicate discriminatory treatment, in addition to “solve possible ambiguities,” says Monreal. Back in April, he urged lawmakers not to allow commercial interests, especially the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries, to pressure them to prematurely pass a bill, stating that it was important they take their time to formulate an equitable and socially conscious bill.

But Senator Eduardo Ramirez Aguilar from Morena said at the time that lawmakers should pass the bill as it was presented to them and work on fine-tuning it later through additional revisions. As it is, the cannabis legalization proposal allows adults who are at least 18 years old to purchase as well as possess a maximum of 28 grams of cannabis as well as grow up to six plants for their personal use.

For internationally focused cannabis companies such as Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC), the developments in nearby Mexico could be of great interest since they have the potential to impact the dynamics of the international marijuana industry.

420 with CNW — Congresswoman Previews Hemp Legislation That Will Ease Industry Restrictions

Hemp was federally legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill, which allowed farmers to begin growing this multifaceted crop. However, Congressional legislators are still working on changes to laws which govern the crop. Recently, Rep. Chellie Pingree previewed a bill that would ease restrictions on this flourishing industry.

The bill, called the Hemp Advancement Act, includes a provision that will remove a ban that prevents individuals with felony drug convictions that date back to the last decade from acquiring a business license for the crop or participating in the market. Pingree stated that the provision disproportionately excluded people of color from taking part in this burgeoning market. She explained that the measure’s intention was to make the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (“USDA”) rules more workable for both processors and growers.

The legislation also seeks to increase the hemp and hemp extracts threshold for THC. Under the federal statute, hemp is defined as containing not more than 0.3% THC. This amount may sometimes increase during the process of production, which may cause issues for businesses involved in the industry. The legislation would offer relevant safeguards against this.

In addition to this, the measure would eliminate a USDA requirement that states that the crop should only be tested at labs registered with the United State Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”). Stakeholders have been calling for this reform for quite some time, arguing that this requirement will create bottlenecking of hemp testing, which may hold this burgeoning industry back.

Earlier in the year, Reps. Morgan Griffith and Kurt Schrader filed a separate legislation calling for  CBD derived from hemp and hemp to be sold as dietary supplements. This is another source of controversy, given that the present lack of regulations from the FDA is seen as a barrier for the industry’s growth.

In the Senate, Sens. Jeff Merkley, Rand Paul and Ron Wyden also filed a measure that would exempt CBD derived from hemp, hemp and substances that contain any ingredient derived from hemp from restrictions which have hindered the emergence of legal consumable hemp products. Additionally, Paul introduced a separate initiative in earlier this year that would increase the concentration of THC that hemp can legally contain by three times while also addressing other issues the industry has highlighted about the federal regulations.

Legislators have been pressuring the FDA to adopt new regulations that would provide for such since hemp was federally legalized.

For hemp/CBD focused companies such as Simply Sonoma Inc., any changes to the existing hemp laws could have immediate effects.
