CannabisNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (NASDAQ: LEXX) Technology Is ‘Outrageously Fast’ in Oral to Bloodstream Delivery

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) on July 22 announced it had met three primary objectives in its investigation of antiviral drug conversion process outcomes as the drugs are processed with its patented DehydraTECH(TM). “The success achieved during the company’s testing paves the way for larger analysis of the DehydraTECH-processed drugs in vivo in animals infected with SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, or other infectious disease-causing viruses, according to the company. The ultimate aim is to form partnerships with established pharmaceutical industry drug-makers who may be interested in incorporating DehydraTECH technology with those tested drugs, or other drugs with similar characteristics,” reads a recent article. “We are looking at repurposing some of these drugs, being able to take an antiviral drug that traditionally could only be administered, for example, by injection. We might be able to apply it in an oral form through a pill,” Lexaria CEO Chris Bunka told Investing News Network in a June report. “Our delivery from oral to the bloodstream is as little as two minutes. We’re outrageously fast for oral technology.”

About Lexaria Bioscience Corp.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s proprietary drug delivery technology, DehydraTECH(TM), improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) enter the bloodstream by promoting healthier oral ingestion methods and increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble active molecules, thereby lowering overall dosing. The company’s technology can be applied to many different ingestible product formats, including foods, beverages, oral suspensions, tablets, and capsules. Since 2016, DehydraTECH has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to increase bio-absorption with cannabinoids and nicotine by up to 5-10x, reduce time of onset from 1 – 2 hours to minutes, and mask unwanted tastes. It is planned to be further evaluated for orally administered bioactive molecules, including anti-viral drugs, vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (“NSAIDs”) and more. Lexaria has licensed DehydraTECH to multiple companies including a world-leading tobacco producer for the development of smokeless, oral-based nicotine products and for use in industries that produce cannabinoid beverages, edibles and oral products. Lexaria operates a licensed in-house research laboratory and holds a robust intellectual property portfolio with 20 patents granted and over 50 patents pending worldwide.

420 with CNW — Congressman Calls for Passing SAFE Banking Act Prior to Broader Law Reform

After months of telling the public that they were working on a federal cannabis bill, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, te Finance Chairman Ron Wyden, and Senator Cory Booker have unveiled their legislation for public comments. However, before Congress has the chance to look at and advance the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act, a Congressman would like lawmakers to pass a cannabis banking bill. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who introduced a bill that would protect banking institutions which work with businesses in the cannabis space, has urged lawmakers to pass the legislation while lawmakers consider broader cannabis reform.

Despite being allowed in more than two dozen states, cannabis is still considered a Schedule I drug by federal law. Consequently, cannabis businesses have been locked out of a variety of crucial services including banking. Fearing reprisals from the federal government, banks as well as credit institutions have refused to work with the state-legal cannabis industry, compelling cannabis firms to work on cash-only terms. The Secure and Fair Enforcement (“SAFE”) Act was introduced to protect banks that work with businesses in the legal cannabis space without fear of federal retaliation.

Now that the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act has been unveiled for public comment, Perlmutter says the industry urgently needs the SAFE Banking Act to pass. Forced to rely on only cash payments, cannabis businesses often have large sums of money on-site, putting them at great risk of burglaries and robberies. Additionally, the coronavirus can survive on paper currency for up to 28 days, meaning businesses that don’t use cashless payment platforms increase the likelihood of both their employees and customers contracting the virus.

Thanks to its narrow focus, the legislation also has a much higher chance of advancing in the Senate compared to the comprehensive legislation bill. Speaking at a recent interview, Perlmutter stressed that it was important to pass the SAFE Banking Act as soon as possible to reduce the risk associated with keeping large sums of money on-site. It is the first of many federal cannabis reforms, he says, and it will help make the industry significantly safer and more equitable.

Despite the fact that this bill could have positive and wide-ranging effects on the state-legal cannabis industry, it has plenty of detractors, especially in the Senate. Some lawmakers feel that advancing the SAFE Banking Act would be putting industry interests over social equity, and Booker has said that he will block any senator who tries to push the cannabis banking legislation before comprehensive cannabis reform advances.

The enactment of policy reforms easing the regulatory hurdles and grey areas faced by cannabis companies such as Simply Sonoma Inc. would go a long way toward facilitating further growth in this sector. which employs a significant number of people and brings other benefits to society.

420 with CNW — Feds Finance Research into Use of Hemp as Ecofriendly Insulation

The U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) is funding a project to develop hemp fiber insulation, which in comparison to traditional preparations, is said to be better for both public health as well as the environment. In addition to awarding almost $200,000 to facilitate research, the department granted Hempitecture’s COO Tommy Gibbons a yearly stipend of $90,000.

The DOE is especially interested in the firm’s HempWool product, which is said to be a high-performing and extremely sustainable insulation material. The hemp-based product, which has a low carbon footprint and strong thermal resistance, is a nontoxic alternative to conventional insulation.

In an interview, Gibbons stated that the Department of Energy was interested in the insulation’s potential for decarbonization as well as that of other building materials that have been manufactured using hemp fibers. The company is planning to carry out research and test proprietary blends of its insulation material in an attempt to enhance its fire resistance and insulation value. This is in addition to improving onshore manufacturing of insulation products that use industrial hemp waste obtained from farmers in America.

A description of the project notes that the emphasis on low-carbon, healthy building materials has prompted a search for solutions from the government as well as consumers to reduce the huge footprint of the built environment and reconstruct better infrastructure. The department’s Innovation Crossroads program is also working to fulfill a goal set by the Biden administration that would reduce carbon emissions and increase the use of clean energy.

With the grant awarded to Hempitecture, the DOE appears to be recognizing what experts and stakeholders have previously stated: hemp is an environmentally friendly and sound investment.

In other news, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) had announced earlier this year that it would be awarding a grant of $100,000 to a company headquartered in Washington state. The agency stated that the grant would help support the development of more sustainable bricks manufactured using industrial hemp.

Among the companies to receive the grant under the agency’s innovation research program was Earth Merchant, which produces OlogyBricks. OlogyBricks are considered to be an alternative to construction bricks manufactured from concrete and other materials as they are carbon negative, lightweight and durable, in addition to being hemp based. In a notice, the EPA stated that the hemp-based product would improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency in single-family homes, among other architectural applications.

Nearly three years ago, the agency also awarded a $12,000 grant to a research team from the University of California to facilitate research on how to use hemp as a renewable fiber in construction. The success of this hemp insulation research would unearth an economically viable use for the hemp waste left after companies such as Grapefruit USA Inc. (OTCQB: GPFT) have extracted CBD from hemp biomass.

420 with CNW — Why Similar CBD Products Often Have Different Prices

The difference in the prices of CBD products around the world has become more obvious in the past year. Since the coronavirus pandemic began, the demand for these products has risen significantly, and so has the production of cheap and expensive CBD products. Currently, the price difference between the least and most expensive products is about 4,715%.

The gap is too large to be overlooked, given most CBD products are often used for various medical conditions, which is why these products should be evenly priced, thereby allowing everyone to have access to them.

What is causing this huge difference in cost?

  • The cultivation method used

Marijuana and hemp are the major types of cannabis plants. The former contains more than 0.3% THC while the latter has less than 0.3% THC. The price of CBD products is dependent on the type of cannabis plant cultivated.

Not every individual can grow cannabis plants that are rich in CBD. This is why the prices are usually lower in states where more individuals can grow cannabis plants that contain high levels of CBD.

  • The product type

CBD can be infused into different products including oils, tinctures, creams and gummies.

CBD oil and edibles are currently the most expensive products on the market, and with the demand for CBD oils increasing, this may not change any time soon.

  • How the product is packaged

Some companies invest a lot into products packaging and sales. While appealing packaging doesn’t mean that the product is the best quality, this doesn’t stop companies from adding an expensive price tag to their products.

  • The method of extraction

The technique used to extract CBD from the cannabis plant may also influence the product’s price. Some techniques, including CO2 extraction, are expensive but extract high-quality CBD. However, not all companies can afford to use this extraction method for mass production, so they use more affordable methods, including ethanol and infusion extractions. Companies that use more affordable methods can sell their products at lower prices.

  • The ingredients used in the product

Quality organic ingredients such as olive oil and MCT oil are sometimes used by companies to justify their expensive price tags.

It is important to keep in mind that some companies claim to make use of these ingredients but don’t actually, while others may use toxic substances to help reduce costs and maintain the lower prices at which they sell their products.

Do your own research and read a certificate of analysis before buying a product. And if you can, look for reviews and seek advice from your physician. Identifying a reputable CBD manufacturer, such as Golden Triangle Ventures Inc. (OTC: GTVH) for example, can assure you are obtaining consistently high-quality cannabidiol products that will address your needs.

420 with CNW — Gallup Poll: Nearly 50% of Adult Americans Have Used Marijuana

Cannabis is more popular among Americans than it has ever been. After decades of prohibition, the past few years have seen dozens of states pass cannabis legislation, and thanks to constant demand, the nascent state-legal cannabis industry has already generated billions of dollars in revenue. The controversial plant has been the most-used drug in the United States for years and according to a recently released poll by Gallup, nearly half of the adults in the country have consumed cannabis at one point in their lives.

An estimated 49% of American adults have used cannabis at some point in their lives, analytics and advisory company Gallup says. The Washington-based firm has been running annual consumption habits polls for more than 50 years, and this is the highest percentage it has measured to date. More than 50 years ago, only 4% of Americans reported that they had tried cannabis, with the percentage gradually increasing to 20% in 1977, 30% in 1985 and 40% in 2015. Only 12% revealed that they smoked marijuana regularly.

According to Gallup, the proportion of American adults who smoke cannabis was 7% in 2013 and varied between 11% and 13% in recent years. This group skewed younger, with data collected from 2015–2021 showing that 20% of millennials smoke marijuana compared to 11% of gen Xers and 9% of baby boomers. However, polls did not contain data from gen Zers, the oldest of whom would be 24, as Gallup hasn’t collected sufficient data from them yet. The differences in cannabis use rates were mostly generational, with the older folk being less likely to try cannabis.

Older Americans born before 1945, for instance, were the least likely of all the generations to have tried marijuana with only 19% saying they had tried with marijuana. On the other hand, 51% of millennials, 49% of Gen Xers, and 50% of baby boomers have experimented with cannabis at least once in their lives.

Data from Gallup polls conducted from 1985 to 1999 shows that 44% of gen Xers and 50% of baby boomers had already tried cannabis by then. Only 10% of traditionalists, or individuals born before 1945, had tried marijuana by then and, as of the latest consumption habits poll, just 1% of traditionalists smoke marijuana compared to 20% of millennials.

Gallup polls also indicated that 16% of men and 9% of women have tried cannabis. Education levels also affected usage rates, with 14% of those with a four-year degree or less and just 5% of those with postgraduate education saying they use marijuana. On the political spectrum, 22% of liberals, 15% of Democrats, 6% of conservatives and 7% of Republicans reported using cannabis regularly.

These statistics regarding the number of Americans who have ever used cannabis suggest that marijuana companies such as Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) can look forward to even better years ahead given that attitudes to marijuana are changing fast and federal legalization may not be far off.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Simply Sonoma Aims to Put Renowned County on the Map for Exceptional CBD-Infused Formulations

Simply Sonoma is a therapeutic-focused CBD company concentrating on sleep aids, gut health, pain and inflammation, and skin and beauty products. “The company has developed plant-based CBD infused products centered around the agriculture of Sonoma County, California, known for its excellent wines, fruits and veggies, and now the company aims to put it on the map for exceptional organic plant-based CBD infused, and research- backed formulations. . . . From personal experience, and the trials and tribulations of friends and family, Simply Sonoma has taken notice of the medicinal utility of CBD and cannabis,” reads a recent article. “As scientists, they were initially skeptical, but seeing firsthand family member experiences with pain relief was very convincing. Additionally, there is now a significant amount of research that has been done on the endocannabinoid system in the human body, which seems to back up the anecdotal reports. . . . Simply Sonoma offers alternative products that are more lifestyle focused and round out the experience with education on how to effectively use CBD on a daily basis.”
