CannabisNewsBreaks – Sugarmade Inc. (SGMD) Leveraging ‘Prime Spot’ for Expansion of Cannabis Delivery Business

Sugarmade (OTC: SGMD), an innovator in the dynamic California cannabis sector, is positioned for opportunity as states that have already legalized cannabis, such as California, are seeing a spike in business due to the overwhelming convenience of product delivery. Sugarmade, as an innovator in the dynamic California cannabis scene with majority control and ownership of cannabis delivery service Nug Avenue, provides hand-selected top-shelf products from Stiiizy, Kanha, PlugPlay, Cookies and more. “Earlier this year, Sugarmade acquired a 70% stake in Nug Avenue, a Lynwood, California-based cannabis delivery operation, and launched a new business initiative for the licensed delivery of cannabis products,” reads a recent article that quotes Sugarmade CEO Jimmy Chan on the move. “We strongly believe the LA delivery market is the prime spot for expansion of our business,” said Chan. “California is the world’s sixth-largest economy, and LA County is by far the most significant driver, with over 25% of the state’s population. The Lynwood, California, site is optimal, as it is located along one of the major distribution freeways, allowing drivers to efficiently reach the more than 15 million consumers that live within a 30-mile radius of the new location. We plan to make a big impact on the LA cannabis delivery marketplace.”

420 with CNW — Marijuana Sector Employs Thousands from Restaurant, Retail Segments

A report has found that about 320,000 Americans are working in the cannabis industry. This represents a more than 30% increase from 2020 figures, making cannabis one of the country’s fastest-growing sectors. This also means that the United States has more legal marijuana workers than electrical engineers, paramedics or dentists.

The marijuana industry has grown significantly since last year when cultivation facilities and dispensaries were classified as essential businesses by various states at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.

Published in partnership with Whitney Economics, the Leafly Jobs Report shows that in 2020, the industry added about 80,000 jobs to the market, which is almost twice what it added in 2019. It helps that more states across the country are also legalizing the use of the plant for both recreational and medical purposes.

Some Americans are re-evaluating their career prospects and jobs after the pandemic remodeled their working and social lives. Many are quitting their jobs in search of more opportunities for advancement, better benefits and consistent hours, which can be found in the legal marijuana industry.

Viridian Staffing chief executive of cannabis recruiting Kara Bradford stated that a shift of workers from restaurants and retail to marijuana has been observed, noting that there’s a sense that the industry has a lot of opportunities for advancement. The surge in marijuana hiring has put pressure on other employers to ease drug-testing requirements, especially in the District and the eighteen states where recreational cannabis use is legal. This is in addition to increasing pay, as the hourly rate at dispensaries is between $12 and $15.

Earlier in June, the second-biggest private employer in the country, Amazon, announced that it would support federal measures to legalize cannabis and stop screening employees for marijuana use. Other employers, including city governments, restaurants and retailers, have also removed these requirements in an attempt to attract workers in the current labor market where employment opportunities exceed the number of unemployed Americans.

Workers’ rights groups are also calling for broader unionization in the marijuana industry, noting that it is a crucial time to establish well-paying jobs that have proper protections. They assert that the marijuana industry could become a pipeline to middle-class jobs, with the right policies.

Cowen, a Wall Street research firm, revealed that sales of legal marijuana grew to $19 billion in 2020, which equates to an almost 60% increase. By 2025, the industry’s sales are expected to hit $41 billion.

Those growing employment figures take on an added meaning when one considers the rate at which companies such as Hero Technologies Inc. (OTC: HENC) are expanding and taking on new employees.

420 with CNW — Researchers Investigate Whether CBD May Help Treat Oral Ulcers

Ever since the 2018 Farm Bill legalized the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp and its derivatives, the demand for cannabidiol (“CBD”), a hemp extract claimed to be full of potent medicinal properties, has skyrocketed. Plenty of people around the country have been using CBD to alleviate a wide variety of health issues including pain, anxiety, and skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis, among others. As the nascent CBD industry grows every year, scientists around the world have been avidly studying the cannabinoid to see just how much medical potential it holds.

A recent study by researchers from Sichuan University’s West China Hospital of Stomatology has revealed that thanks to its potent anti-inflammatory properties, CBD may be able to alleviate the pain associated with oral ulcers as well as increase the rate of healing. Presented at the 99th General Session & Exhibition of the International Association for Dental Research, the study utilized mouse models depicting oral ulcers created by mechanical trauma or acid etching in the mouths of the laboratory mice.

After the researchers applied an oral spray containing CBD and ran histological and macroscopic evaluations, they found that cannabidiol was quite capable of treating the pain triggered by the inflammation caused by the ulcers. Applying the cannabidiol oral spray topically to the ulcers in a dose-dependent way resulted in faster wound closure and eliminated the possibility of weight loss.

Xingying Qi, the lead study author says the application of a cannabidiol oral spray led to a significant reduction in inflammation and pain, as well as expedited lesion closure. Although oral ulcers are a common oral inflammatory lesion that can cause severe pain, few effective treatment options are available. The results of this Chinese study indicate that cannabidiol represents a potential treatment for oral ulcers.

Curious to see how CBD alleviated oral ulcer symptoms, the researchers delved even deeper. After analyzing published datasets showing RNA-sequences linked to recurrent aphthous ulcers, they found that high NLPR3 expression, which plays a major role in inflammation and the body’s immune system, was a likely contributory factor in the onset of recurrent aphthous ulcers. Their research revealed that “cannabidiol significantly deactivates NLRP3 inflammasome expression” and may inhibit inflammasome-related pyroptosis, making it quite helpful in oral ulcer treatment.

The researchers also noted that cannabidiol reduced the activation of CMPK2, an enzyme that controls mitochondrial DNA synthesis, in turn reducing the synthesis of new mitochondrial DNA and suppressing the activation of inflammasome. The results of the Sichuan University study were published in the “Journal of Dental Research.”

There is much yet to be known about the therapeutic properties of CBD, but the fact that many companies, including Simply Sonoma Inc., are thriving as manufacturers of CBD medicinals means that consumers may intuitively be aware of the numerous benefits such protects have.

CannabisNewsBreaks – American Cannabis Partners Stands Distinct with Emphasis on Assets and Safety

American Cannabis Partners (“ACP”), a sustainable Jamaican experience canna-business innovator, is a company worth watching as it expands across the U.S. and maintains its status as a high-quality grower while remaining environmentally friendly and implementing its asset and safety strategy. Under the strategy, tangible assets like real estate and equipment play a key role in creating stability for ACP before building the company out. It also enables the company to capitalize on federal interstate commerce opportunities. “[ACP has] acquired 11 cultivation licenses, one retail license and around 560,000 square feet of canopy space for cultivation. This provides the safety net to liquidate if necessary to stay in business while also protecting shareholders. ACP will remain cash flow positive as they move forward into their projected third U.S. state in 2022 and a fourth in 2024,” reads a recent article. The concern for safety highlights the company’s distinction. According to CEO Stephen Jordan, the company’s emphasis on assets and safety is one of the hardest things to find in the industry. “A lot of people and a lot of companies have products, but they’ve placed themselves in very strenuous liability situations. If they can’t make a product, they no longer have a company. ACP took the opposite direction.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) Begins Phase 2 Clinical Trial Evaluating CBN in the EB Treatment

InMed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: INM), a leader in the manufacturing and clinical development of rare cannabinoids, has started its Phase 2 clinical trial of INM-755 (cannabinol) cream in the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa (“EB”). According to the company, this is the first time cannabinol has advanced to a Phase 2 clinical trial to be studied as a therapeutic option to treat a disease. The study will be conducted in seven different countries at 11 sites; the countries include Austria, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Israel and Serbia. The company has filed clinical trial applications in all seven countries and has received approval from Austria, France, Greece and Israel, with the first site initiation visit being completed at a clinical site in Austria.

420 with CNW — Growing Numbers of Menopausal Women Resort to Cannabis for Symptomatic Relief

Between the ages of 45 to 55, most women will experience menopause as their estrogen levels steadily decline. One in 100 women will start going through this inevitable stage of life before they hit age 40. Regardless of when menopause starts, the symptoms associated with it are similar across the board. They include irregular periods, chills, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, mood changes and weight gain among others.

Although some medications are proven to help women weather these symptoms, an increasing number of women have been turning to cannabis for this purpose. According to a new study, a “good number” of midlife women have been using the controversial plant, believing that it will help to treat some of the more uncomfortable menopause symptoms. Katherine Babyn, lead researcher and a graduate student at the University of Alberta in Canada, says that plenty of middle-aged women in the menopause transition period of their lives are using cannabis to alleviate symptoms that “tend to overlap with menopause.”

But can cannabis actually help women deal with these symptoms? Dr. Stephanie Faubion, medical director of the North American Menopause Society (“NAMS”), says that unfortunately, there is minimal scientific evidence proving that cannabis can effectively treat menopause-related symptoms. Since marijuana’s effect on women going through menopause hasn’t been formally studied, she says, we do not know the possible benefits and risks. Consequently, women who are using cannabis to alleviate their symptoms are essentially using a drug that has not been studied.

However, the study revealed that plenty of middle-aged women feel like they have benefited from using cannabis. The researchers from the University of Alberta surveyed an estimated 1,500 middle-aged women from the province of Alberta in Canada and found that two-thirds of the respondents had used cannabis for some time, with one-third having done so within the past month. Of the women who were currently using cannabis, 75% said they were using it for medical purposes. This is despite the fact that only 23% actually had medical marijuana prescriptions.

In addition, the study reported that 52% consumed edibles, 47% used cannabis oils, 41% preferred to smoke, and 26% vaped. Up to 74% of the respondents said their symptoms had improved once they started using cannabis, says Nese Yuksel, senior researcher and a professor of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Alberta. Other noteworthy stats include 74% of respondents reported using cannabis to sleep better, 59% used it for anxiety, 58% to boost concentration, 55% to reduce feelings of irritability, and 53% to alleviate muscle and joint aches.

Still, Yuksel says that without any scientific backing, the researchers cannot make an association between cannabis use and reduced menopause symptoms. Although the women may feel as if they’re seeing some benefit from consuming cannabis, she says, the researchers cannot conclusively say that the drug can treat menopause symptoms. Ultimately, they all agreed that we need more research on marijuana’s potential benefits and risks to see whether or not it can be an effective treatment for menopause symptoms.

Companies that manufacture a variety of CBD products, such as The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER), may inadvertently be helping menopausal women if some of the preliminary studies on cannabidiol, a major compound in cannabis, are anything to go by.

420 with CNW — Amazon Voices Support for Federal Cannabis Legalization, Ends Employee Drug Testing

Amazon recently let up on its screening policies for cannabis, with company officials vocalizing their support for the federal legalization of the plant. Beth Galetti, who is the company’s HR boss, stated that the company had restored employment eligibility for applicants and past employees who had been denied employment or fired during cannabis screenings.

Galetti added that pre-employment cannabis testing had disproportionately impacted communities of color by impeding job placement and, by extension, the growth of the economy. She noted that this inequitable treatment was unacceptable.

Earlier in June, company officials stated that they would no longer screen their workers for cannabis. This is excluding job candidates who are applying for positions that involve the operation of heavy equipment or truck drivers, as those positions are regulated by the federal Department of Transportation.

Amazon also revealed that following an incident, it would continue to conduct tests for alcohol and drugs and impairment checks on the job.

The international e-commerce company decided to let up on its cannabis standards after a growing number of states in the U.S. began legalizing the plant. Galetti notes that the loosened standards are expected to bring more job applicants into the company.

Thus far, marijuana has been legalized for recreational use in 18 states as well as in Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the District of Columbia. Medical marijuana is also legal in 36 states across the United States, as well as in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam and the District of Columbia.

In addition to this, Galleti stated that the company’s pace of growth meant that it was always in search of new members to add to its team. Recently Amazon has been using various incentives, including free college tuition and hiring bonuses, in an attempt to attract more applicants. Now company officials have announced plans to removing pre-employment testing for marijuana, which would allow the company to extend its applicant pool.

The trillion-dollar company is also calling for the federal government to legalize cannabis, with company officials revealing that they support the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (“MORE”) Act. The objective of the act is to invest in communities that have been affected by the drug war, expunge criminal records for those incarcerated for possession and decriminalize marijuana at the federal level.

Recently, Amazon threw its weight behind similar legislation dubbed the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act. In a letter addressed to legislators about this measure, the renowned company urged Congress to allow for resentencing of any individuals serving time in federal prison for nonviolent cannabis crimes and expungement of the records for those crimes.

The increasing use of cannabis as a medicinal substance is causing a spike in the demand for IoT dose-measuring devices such as the ones made by RYAH Group Inc. (CSE: RYAH) alongside other enabling technologies.

CannabisNewsBreaks – USA CBD Expo to Shine the Spotlight on Industry’s Leading Professionals, Latest Trends

The next USA CDB Expo will be hosted at Chicago’s McCormick Place on Oct. 28-30, 2021. Following June’s Atlanta-based conference and its successful return to an in-person format, the nation’s largest CBD event series will continue with a three-day event in the Midwest that provides industry enthusiasts the opportunity to glean insight from more than 50 expert speakers, visit with hundreds of vendors and network with thousands of their peers. Presenting sponsor 3Chi, the nation’s largest CBN and Delta-8 distributor, is headlining October’s USA CBD Expo. The event represents an early celebration of the state’s second anniversary of the legalization of recreational consumption, possession and sale of cannabis products in Illinois. Within a short timeframe, Illinois’ recreational cannabis sector has grown to an estimated $40 million per month in retail revenues, a clear testament to the industry’s positive potential and growth trajectory. Designed to cater to industry newcomers and experts alike, the conference will feature some of the CBD and hemp industry’s leading professionals presenting a series of educational seminars, keynote addresses and workshops. Seminars will cover a range of topics, including a focus on the commercial side of the CBD and hemp industry, current and future market trends, health benefits, ongoing legalization efforts, as well as medicinal use cases. In addition, some of the scheduled talks include CBD for sexual wellness, the power of medicinal mushroom extracts, psychedelics education, information about delta-8 and its legality, and other diverse topics.
