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.

420 with CNW — Four States Notch Record-Setting July Cannabis Sales

Last month was an extremely profitable and productive month for the cannabis industry in different states across the country, with business owners reporting record-breaking sales. This trend has been observed in various states as the marijuana markets mature, which is impressive, especially when one considers how the marijuana industry has flourished despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Below are some of the few states that posted new sales records in the month of July.

Missouri

Medical marijuana sales in the state of Missouri surpassed $20 million last month, with analysts noting that this amount was mainly attributed to growing patient enrollment in the state’s medical cannabis program and new dispensaries opening in the state. The total medical cannabis purchases made in the state thus far equate to roughly $90 million.

Michigan

Data released by a regulatory body in the state of Michigan shows that recreational sales in July broke another record, with more than $170 million in marijuana transactions.

The month of July saw $42 million in medical marijuana sales and $107 million in adult-use marijuana sales. The total tax revenue generated last month translates to about $22 million, most of which will be allocated to individual jurisdictions, public education and infrastructure projects.

Most of July’s recreational sales went to edibles, which brought in about $18 million; vape cartridges, which brought in roughly $26 million; and flower marijuana products, which raked in almost $64 million.

Maine

A 45% increase from June’s sales record was observed in the state of Maine, with adult-use cannabis sales reaching almost $9.5 million. Local papers reported that marijuana business owners attributed the increase to tourism and the Fourth of July holiday.

The state’s retail market for recreational marijuana was established in October 2020 and has grown in popularity, with July 2021 being the first time adult-use sales matched the state’s medical cannabis sales.

Illinois

In comparison to July 2020, the state of Illinois recorded double its total monthly sales, bringing in about $127 million in recreational marijuana purchases last month. Residents of the state also bought more than 2.8 million individual marijuana products last month, which represents another record.

The state’s Department of Financial and Professional Regulation revealed that out-of-state visitors contributed to about $41 million in sales while residents of the state bought $86 million in cannabis.

This new record makes July the fifth consecutive month that sales in the state’s adult-use market have surpassed $100 million. Estimates indicate that the state may collect more than $1 billion in adult-use cannabis sales this year if the trend continues.

These record-setting cannabis sales point to the possible success of companies, such as American Cannabis Partners, that are active in jurisdictions with thriving legal-marijuana markets.

420 with CNW — As Cannabis Legalization Spreads, Companies Are Reconsidering Drug Policies

America’s increasingly liberal attitude regarding cannabis consumption has started to impact workplace policies. For decades, both federal and state law outlawed cannabis, which was in turn mirrored in workplace policies across the country. Most employers had a zero-tolerance policy on cannabis, with some even requiring regular drug tests and firing employees who failed. But with cannabis reform sweeping the nation, companies are starting to reconsider their drug policies.

This became increasingly clear when Amazon, the largest player in the e-commerce market with 1.3 million employees around the world, announced that it would cease testing job seekers for marijuana. A lot of businesses had been revising their drug policies in the wake of increased cannabis legalization, but Amazon’s announcement showed that the cannabis reform movement was gaining major traction. However, president and CEO of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce Todd Maisch says that while plenty of companies are relaxing their attitudes toward cannabis, there’s still plenty that aren’t.

No business wants their employees to be impaired while on the job, he says, but for a lot of them, the days of random drug tests are drawing to a close. It ultimately depends on the type of business, with some having a lot of flexibility regarding their drug policies and others being unwilling and in most cases unable to relax their drug policies. For instance, businesses in construction whose employees have to use heavy machinery have to maintain a drug-free policy to keep their staff safe while on-site as well as to limit their culpability in case an impaired employee is involved in a workplace accident.

Additionally, entities and individuals that have contracts with the federal government are required to stay clear of all drugs, even the ones that are state legal, because drug use is outlawed by federal law. As such, Maisch says, the evolution of workplace policies regarding cannabis consumption has had two approaches, with some companies adapting to the changing times and others digging their heels in and adhering to federal policy on cannabis. Fortunately for cannabis-reform proponents, current events have influenced how employers treat cannabis.

The pandemic had a historic effect on the job market, forcing a lot of industries to slow down in the wake of lockdown orders and promoting a work-from-home culture. More than a year after the coronavirus struck and as the world started opening up, people began questioning the job market and demanding fair pay and benefits. This has led to a labor shortage of the likes we have never seen before, and employers are scrambling to hire employees who are willing to join their ranks.

Thus, employers across the country are ready to loosen their workplace policies, especially regarding off-duty cannabis use, Maisch says. This easing of restrictions is likely to open up even more the clientele for cannabis products made by companies such as Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) since more people will be willing to consider cannabis usage during their off-duty hours.

420 with CNW — Nevada Judge Overturns Las Vegas PD Marijuana Ban

Employees may have finally seen a reprieve in the battle between federal and state cannabis law after a Nevada judge overturned a Las Vegas Police Department ban on marijuana consumption among its staff. Although more than two dozen states have passed either medical or recreational cannabis legislation, federal law still classifies it as a Schedule I drug. That may change in the near future. Meanwhile, employees living in legal cannabis markets often find themselves penalized by their bosses for consuming cannabis during personal hours.

According to a ruling by a Las Vegas district judge, a former LVPD officer should not have faced the threat of losing his job after he failed a THC test. Former officer Stuart Bowman resigned in lieu of being fired after off-duty cannabis use led to a failed drug test. He then sued the LAPD arguing that he shouldn’t be penalized for indulging in state-legal activities during his private time, and that the LVPD’s zero-tolerance policy for cannabis is untenable. Judge Kathleen Delaney agreed, ruling that the police department’s zero-tolerance cannabis policy was indeed untenable.

Since state law prohibits discriminating against staff who engage in state-legal cannabis use during their non-working hours, she said the department’s penalties against the former officer were against the law. As such, she instructed the LVPD to grant him back pay, cover his legal fees and put him back on the force.

However, the police department’s lawyers argued that the department had the right to terminate Bowman, citing a separate statute that says that public and private employers can prohibit the use of both legal and illicit drugs via workplace policies. Additionally, they mentioned a case in Colorado that saw the court uphold the decision to fire an employee for using cannabis off-site.

But according to Bowman’s attorneys, the Colorado statute’s vague definition of lawful allowed employers to adhere to federal law, which outlaws cannabis, over state law and terminate employees who indulge in state-sanctioned cannabis, even during their personal time. Nevada’s statute, on the other hand, specifically says that employers cannot discriminate against staff who take part in activities allowed by state law. Now that Judge Delaney sided with former officer Bowman, his attorney Adam Levine says the written motion may take a week to prepare.

Still, Levine advises police officers who want to consume cannabis to exercise restraint. While the LVPD will likely agree to issue Bowman’s back pay, it will most likely appeal against reinstating him. The Las Vegas Police Department did not respond to requests for a comment on the case when contacted by local media outlets.

The ruling made by the judge in Nevada can have beneficial ramifications inasmuch as patients who can be helped by using medical marijuana will not fear to take this option alongside high-tech devices such as the Smart Patch made by RYAH Group Inc.
