CannabisNewsBreaks – Grapefruit USA Inc. (GPFT) Issues Update Concerning Formation of Joint Venture, Potential Acquisition

Grapefruit USA (OTCQB: GPFT), a premiere, fully licensed California-based cannabis company, today provided further updates to its March and May 2021 announcements regarding discussions with a Canadian cannabis company surrounding development of a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”). The MOU sets forth terms under which the parties could enter into a joint venture to jointly manufacture, distribute and market Grapefruit’s products, including, but not limited to, Grapefruit’s patented disruptive Hourglass(TM) THC/cannabinoid time-release delivery cream throughout Canada. “Execution of the MOU moved the entire process forward, as we now more clearly understand each other’s overall goals and priorities as well as the capital requirements and legal, regulatory and logistical challenges of finalizing a joint venture and/or an acquisition,” said Grapefruit CEO Bradley J. Yourist. “We now expect to bring the process forward to the point of making a decision in the next 30-60 days. Once again, that being said, we wish to emphasize that the discussions reported here, although substantive and largely positive, remain in the MOU and pre-definitive agreement stage as a result of the delay from April 2021 to the present and may be subject to termination at any time. Grapefruit will continue to update the public as necessary on any material joint venture or acquisition developments as events proceed.”

420 with CNW — California Earmarks $100 Million to Help Cannabis Companies Get Licensed

According to a 2018 report by Arcview and BDS Analytics, California is the largest cannabis market in not only North America but the entire world. The state, which legalized recreational marijuana in November 2016 and medical cannabis in 1996, realized cannabis sales worth $4.4 billion in 2020, even amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Despite the size of its legal cannabis market, a large percentage are using provisional licenses, and sales from the illicit market still make up a significant chunk of cannabis sales in the state. California has now set aside $100 million to help cannabis sellers get licenses and hopefully, draw some sellers from the illicit market by making the process easier.

The state legislature of California earmarked these funds in June to help sellers transition from provisional licenses to annual licenses. A majority (82%) of the cannabis companies in California have provisional licenses, and the licensing process has kept many of them, especially the smaller ones, from obtaining annual licenses.

James Steigerwald, the chief marketing officer at Los Angeles-based marijuana delivery service Nug Avenue and an industry expert, says the licensing process can be quite costly, difficult and time-consuming, causing many people to avoid the complicated process altogether. Companies that want to upgrade their provisional licenses are required to study any potential negative effects their business may have on the environment and explain how they would find ways to mitigate these effects.

While larger companies with significant funding can feasibly pull this off, small to moderately sized firms, which make up the majority of the players in America’s state-legal cannabis industry, will have a much harder time. As such, the $100 million will be dispersed to cities and counties, allowing them to fund programs that support cannabis players that are looking to upgrade their temporary licenses to permanent ones. The funds will be allocated to 17 communities in total, which will use them to look for and hire additional staff to assist license applicants and process the paperwork required for the process.

So not only will the cash help businesses that would have otherwise been unable to obtain permanent licenses on their own, but it will also provide new employment opportunities. Recipients of this funding will include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Long Beach, Adelanto, Desert Hot Springs and Commerce, with Los Angeles receiving the largest share. Steigerwald hopes that as his Los Angeles-based company expands and requires additional licensing, the process will be a lot easier.

The proactive approach taken by the authorities in California may explain why there are so many thriving cannabis companies, such as American Cannabis Partners, within the California state borders.

420 with CNW — How to Identify High-Quality CBD Oil

The popularity of cannabis and its products seems to be growing as more states across the country legalize the plant for medical and/or recreational use. If you’ve been interested in buying/using CBD oil, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

For starters, it is important to do your own research and find out more about the CBD oil various companies produce and the quality of each. Even with online reviews, how can you identify high-quality CBD oils that live up to their claims?

Below are a few things that may be of help to you.

  • Find out how it’s manufactured

There are many extraction techniques that can be used to process CBD oil from hemp. Some companies that sell their products at low prices use cheap methods, which involve toxic solvents that are harmful to human health such as hexane, butane and propane, to extract CBD oil.

However, other companies use pharmaceutical-grade and organic ethanol to process CBD from hemp. This technique is regarded as the safest method to extract CBD for human consumption.

CBD oil can also be extracted using the CO2 extraction method, which allows CBD oil to maintain its purity.

  • Where has the hemp been grown?

Hemp absorbs everything that is present in the land on which it was grown. Plants that have grown in rich soil will be of high quality, which means that the CBD extracted from the plants will also be high quality.

On the other hand, hemp grown on land that’s laden with metals like mercury and lead should be avoided, as CBD obtained from the plants isn’t safe for regular consumption.

Most retailers and manufacturers usually have information about the land on which the hemp plants are cultivated on in their support centers or their websites.

  • THC amount present in the oil

THC is one of the main psychoactive cannabinoids present in cannabis and agricultural hemp. The law stipulates that the amount of THC shouldn’t be more than 0.3% for the product to be federally legal. Therefore, ensure you check the product label or ask for lab test results before making your purchase.

  • Look for third-party test results

Most legitimate and authentic CBD oil brands will have no qualms about sharing their third-party laboratory results with consumers. These results will allow you to make sure that the CBD oil you’d like to purchase is free of impurities and has high levels of CBD and low levels of THC.

The burgeoning CBD oil market is still immature and without many regulations in place to ensure that only the very best-quality products are sold to the public, so it’s up to you to ensure you get value for your money. Fortunately, lots of reputable companies such as Simply Sonoma Inc. exist in the CBD sector, so your work may only be to identify one such company and then obtain your CBD products from those companies.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (NASDAQ: LEXX) Proprietary Technology Elevating Quantity of Drugs Delivered Across Blood-Brain Barrier by 1,900%

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) recently announced that a tolerability and pharmacokinetic study, performed by an independent, premier animal testing laboratory in the U.S., had demonstrated that administration of colchicine using its proprietary DehydraTECH(TM) resulted in increased delivery. “Colchicine is an approved therapeutic with anti-inflammatory effects primarily used to treat gout and cardiac conditions such as pericarditis. It was the latest of several drugs Lexaria tested with known SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 antiviral properties after it showed potent effects in mitigating the cytokine storm associated with the virus. Additionally, colchicine is occasionally used to treat emergent pericarditis in children, which would make the substance potentially beneficial against this form of cardiac inflammation when it occurs as a side effect of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines,” reads a recent article. As colchicine has a marginal difference between toxic and non-toxic doses, Lexaria hopes that by using DehydraTECH, it can improve the drug’s bioavailability beyond current levels of approximately 45%, which would potentially allow lower dosing requirements. “Lexaria’s DehydraTECH promotes fast-acting, less expensive and more effective oral drug delivery. The method has been evaluated thoroughly through in vivo, in vitro and human clinical testing. The company has shown, through animal studies, that DehydraTECH technology elevates the quantity of drugs delivered across the blood-brain barrier by as much as 1,900%. The research has initiated new patent applications and opened the possibilities for improved drug delivery.”

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 — USDA Kick-Starts Hemp Farmer Survey for Better Policy Making

Last week, the National Agricultural Statistics Service revealed that forms for a survey on hemp farmers to be filled out online or via email were being finalized. This comes after the U.S. Department of Agriculture requested permission in July to carry out a survey of hemp farmers.

Hemp has been legal in the United States since it was legalized federally under the 2018 Farm Bill. The large-scale survey will help the USDA to better understand the hemp market, which will allow for better policy making.

The survey will include questions about the secondary and primary uses for hemp, the prices producers can charge, acreage used for operations and plans for the outdoor production of hemp. This is in addition to examining how farmers acquire the clones and seeds they use, the yields they have harvested, whether they plan to extract terpenes or cannabinoids from hemp and if they hand trim the crop they produce. The department is also interested in learning more about seeds, fiber, grain for human consumption, extracts such as CBD and preparations such as smokeable hemp.

In an explanatory document, the USDA stated that the survey’s purpose was to develop state and national estimates of the hemp grown and produced last year, adding that the survey would be carried out every year. The department also revealed that the questionnaires used in the survey would gather data for hemp produced under cover, namely in hoop houses, high or low tunnels, greenhouses and the like, as well as in the open.

The document then explained that crop produced under cover would gather data in four categories, including seed, transplants or clones, flower and other, while crop produced in the open would gather data in five categories, including seed, fiber, grain, flower and other.

The USDA will use the results of the survey to set a benchmark for hemp production and acreage to assist processors, state governments, producers and regulatory agencies, among other central industry entities.

The agency will begin sending reminders and notices to industry operators, including hemp businesses, on Oct. 1, 2021, to encourage them to take part in the survey. The Department of Agriculture estimates that the cumulative time taken to complete the surveys will be roughly 7,530 hours.

Another national survey by the USDA, which is being conducted in partnership with the University of Kentucky and the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, is also gathering data from hemp businesses in the country. This data will be used to formulate better approaches for the industry’s regulation.

Hopefully, the data-supported regulatory approaches will ease the operations of sector players such as The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER), which serves a significant number consumers across the country.

The road to cannabis reform has been long, tedious and fraught with hurdles. After decades of prohibition, anti-marijuana propaganda and harsh policing, reforming cannabis laws and changing the public’s perception towards cannabis was bound to be a challenge.

While reform advocates argued that legalizing cannabis would offer a much-needed reprieve to the minority communities that had suffered the most from the failed war on drugs in addition to creating new jobs and filling state coffers with tax revenue, opponents said that it would inevitably lead to increased drug use, especially among the youth, and promote criminal activity.

However, studies have revealed that there has been minimal or no increase in teen cannabis use in states with legal markets. Furthermore, a top federal officer who previously believed that marijuana use among adolescents would increase after the passage of cannabis legalization bills has conceded that things have played out differently. Speaking at the Psychoactive Podcast hosted by Drug Policy Alliance Founder Ethan Nadelmann, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”) director Nora Volkov discussed a wide variety of drug policy issues. She said that the country’s booming state-legal cannabis industry has not led to a rise in marijuana use among the youth.

Volkov also talked about how the country needs to stop looking at drug abuse and addiction as criminal activity deserving of punitive action and instead approach it as a public health matter, an issue she has covered extensively before. Additionally, she and Nadelmann discussed the medical potential of a variety of psychedelics that federal law has long classified as dangerous.

The effects of cannabis legislation have varied greatly on a state-by-state basis, she says, with some states having better outcomes and others seeing the adverse effects of cannabis use. As such, she noted, it is crucial for federal officials and policymakers to understand which cannabis policies promote the best outcomes while protecting the populace from the negative effects.

Despite more than 30 states passing at least one form of cannabis legislation, federal law, which classifies cannabis as a Schedule 1 controlled substance with no medical application, has held the nascent cannabis sector back. Federal law has created major research barriers, forcing scientists interested in studying cannabis to go through “extremely cumbersome” processes to obtain cannabis, she says. Additionally, scientists are only allowed to use the low-quality cannabis grown at a facility at the University of Mississippi, but Volkov says she has been heartened by moves to increase the number of sanctioned cannabis providers by the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”).

The admission that cannabis legalization doesn’t increase teen marijuana use puts a dent in the collection of misconceptions surrounding marijuana, and as those myths and misconceptions are debunked, cannabis sector players such as American Cannabis Partners could enjoy a more favorable working environment, especially when federal legalization is eventually implemented.
