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.

420 with CNW — New Report Forecasts Significant Growth for Global Marijuana Sales

A new report that focuses on the rapid growth of both recreational and medical marijuana sales has been released by New Frontier Data. The report looks at what to expect in the international marijuana industry over the next couple of years, while analyzing the future and current trends in the international markets of Africa, Asia, Oceania, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and North America.

In a letter included in the report, Giadha A. DeCarcer, executive chair, publisher and founder of New Frontier Data, stated that the industry would continue to expand and grow. DeCarcer explained that when the first global marijuana industry report was released in 2019, it was clear that the legalization of marijuana would prove to be a significant socioeconomic movement of the present period, noting that in two years, the number of countries that had legalized some form of marijuana had increased to 70, adding that there were 10 countries that had legalized adult-use marijuana.

The report states that last year, the combined total of recreational and medical marijuana sales in the United States was roughly $20 billion, with regulated markets selling almost $24 billion in high-THC marijuana product.

In Canada, about $2 billion in high-THC marijuana products were sold last year. The report notes that the constant increase in marijuana sales in both Canada and the United States could cause sales to increase to roughly $50 billion by the year 2025. The report also found that in countries outside North America, the sale of high-THC products had risen but were still lower overall. For instance, Germany collected an estimated $205 million from its medical marijuana program, which is the largest medical marijuana program in Europe.

In Spain, some provinces have regulations on marijuana sales, despite the fact that the plant is not federally legal in the country. In 2019, marijuana clubs in the country hit $430 million, which makes the country a contender for becoming one of the biggest industries globally, after the United States and Canada.

Last month, a webinar which explored the global marijuana economy’s opportunities, projections and trends was held. John Kagia, chief knowledge officer of New Frontier Data, forecasted that the rate of investment into the global marijuana industry was expected to grow. Currently, $8 billion of capital has been injected into this burgeoning industry.

Recreational marijuana sales are also expected to double medical marijuana sales by 2025. Currently, half a dozen countries have approved the sale of high-THC products while only 10 have legalized recreational marijuana use.

As overall sales grow, it goes without saying that established cannabis companies such as Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) will see a sizeable fraction of the total revenues generated.

420 with CNW — Humboldt County OKs $1M Grant Targeting Marijuana Growers

Despite its relatively young age, America’s state-legal cannabis industry has been insanely lucrative. In just a few short years, the sector has generated billions of dollars in revenue, created hundreds of thousands of new employment opportunities, and filling state coffers with millions in tax revenue. However, while some cannabis farmers and companies have been laughing all the way to the bank, others are struggling to keep their heads above water and barely holding on. It has gotten so bad that California’s Humboldt County has okayed a $1 million grant to help cannabis cultivators survive amid a significant drop in cannabis wholesale prices.

With a growing number of players jumping into the sector, the cannabis market has been flooded with so much product that it has outweighed demand by a significant margin. Consequently, cannabis prices have been declining, ultimately falling to a paltry $400 a pound from $1,100 a pound. As this is not enough to cover production costs let alone make a profit, the county’s board of supervisors has approved a $1 million emergency grant program to keep cannabis cultivators in Humboldt County from going under. According to Economic Development Director Scott Adair, his office has been “inundated” with urgent, desperate requests for assistance from farmers who are looking down the barrel of impending insolvency.

Extremely low cannabis prices are to blame for the current market emergency and the subsequent requests for aid and relief, says Adair, with market prices now being too low to cover the cost of cultivating, processing and distributing cannabis. As such, the program will offer grants of up to $10,000 for individual farms and $50,000 for larger, collaborative efforts. Production has also been impacted by drought, wildfires and fire-protection measures that increase costs. Furthermore, with most cannabis cultivators in Humboldt growing their crop deep in the mountains, transportation, regulation compliance and irrigation costs also add up.

All these issues affect solvency, Adair says, and there’s only so much the county can do. The grants are intended to support expenditure and activities that boost revenue or reduce other costs, not to replace lost revenue. The grants will be part of Humboldt County’s Project Trellis. Which is funded via a 10% excise tax and part of the excise tax revenue levied on marijuana sales.

With most of the surveyed farmers saying that they will be unable to make their October excise tax payments, Project Trellis may lose a large chunk of its funding. Meanwhile, the emergency program’s details will be discussed at the Oct. 6, 2021,  Project Trellis Advisory Committee Meeting.

California’s marijuana cultivation sector is facing a difficult time, and it may only be companies such as American Cannabis Partners that grow and sell their own cannabis that can still thrive.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Simply Sonoma Primed to Benefit from Projected Billion-Dollar Growth of CBD Space

Simply Sonoma, a CBD company focused on building a reputation as a leader in plant-based medicinal health and beauty products, is poised to benefit from the projected billion-dollar growth of the CBD space. This is according to a recent article discussing analysis by Yahoo.finance in a publication titled “CBD Market to Grow to $16 Billion by 2026 — Should You Invest?” The article, which contains excerpts from the publication, reports that increasing awareness of CBD’s therapeutic benefits has influenced buyers to purchase cannabidiol (“CBD”) products, in turn influencing commercial retailers, including those in health and wellness sectors, to now focus on selling CBD products, owing to a greater profit margin. “‘The global cannabidiol market size was valued at $2.8 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 21.2% from 2021 to 2028, according to a Grand View Research report,’ the Yahoo article reported. ‘In addition, sales of CBD products in the U.S. stood at $4.6 billion in 2020 and by 2026, this market is projected to grow to $16 billion in value, according to a Statista report.’… These are exciting numbers for Simply Sonoma.”
