420 with CNW — A Comparison Between Cannabis Edibles and Infused Drinks

Over the last decade, marijuana-infused drinks have improved greatly in both consistency and flavor. As more states across the country legalize marijuana for recreational and/or medicinal use, the use of cannabis products such as marijuana edibles and marijuana-infused drinks grows.

The search for alternatives to alcohol and alcoholic beverages has also boosted the consumption of these drinks. An report by BDS Analytics has found that roughly 20% of marijuana consumers are now consuming marijuana beverages in legal markets for various reasons, whether it’s to have fun, feel peaceful or relax.

So, how are these beverages made?

CBD and THC are the two most popular cannabinoids; they are both found in the marijuana plant. These compounds aren’t easily mixed with water and are fat soluble. THC is alcohol soluble but cannot be combined with alcohol since it is illegal to combine marijuana and alcohol.

To create a wholly consistent product that contains the same dose of marijuana in each sip, cannabis firms use nano-emulsification. The process involves breaking down cannabis oil into minute particles that are mixed with an emulsifier, which helps the oil to dissolve in the water-based drink.

How do marijuana-infused beverages compare to edibles?

First, they afford some flexibility. These drinks can be consumed in different ways, depending on an individual’s preference. For instance, they can be added to a baking or cooking recipe, mixed with other beverages or just taken with ice.

They are also good for beginners. The quick uptake of cannabis-infused drinks decreases the chances of the user getting too high by consuming too much, which is better than trying an edible, as the dosing isn’t known or exact.

They are easily enjoyable. Sometimes an edible may result in a bad outcome, which may leave the user feeling groggy or sick in the hours that follow. However, you can enjoy your cannabis-infused drink without having to worry about a hangover, seeing as it is nonalcoholic and has no severe side-effects.

Beverages can be consumed socially. Unlike vaping or smoking a joint, you don’t need to excuse yourself in order to enjoy your marijuana-infused drink. With cannabis-infused beverages, you can carry on drinking while keeping your conversation going and interacting with people.

In addition, the beverages have a quicker uptake. Edibles such as cannabis chocolate, gummies and baked goods need to be digested for absorption to start, which means it takes about four hours for an individual to feel its effect. On the other hand, you will feel the herb’s effects about half an hour after you consume a cannabis-infused beverage.

The great strides made in infusion technology have allowed companies such as BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE: BEV) (OTCQB: BVNNF) (FSE: 7BC) to offer an array of infused drinks that suit the needs of different consumer segments.

420 with CNW — Cannabis Use Lower Among Cancer Survivors Compared to the General Public

Marijuana’s decades-old reputation as a hard drug with high potential for addiction and no medical applications has taken a hit over the past decade. With more than 30 states legalizing medical cannabis, the controversial drug is now being used to help alleviate a wide variety of medical conditions. As the public becomes warier of opioids, plenty of patients have begun using cannabis to alleviate cancer and chemotherapy-related symptoms, including pain, nausea and insomnia.

However, recently unveiled research has shown that despite the rise in the number of people using cannabis to treat various medical issues, especially as the plans sees increased legalization, patients suffering from cancer have consumed cannabis less often than the general public. After analyzing data that was collected from 20,000 participants via a nationally representative longitudinal survey over six years, researchers from the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center published their findings in the journal “Cancer.” Within the past year, only 8% of cancer survivors had consumed cannabis compared to 15% who had no have a history of cancer.

Bernard F. Fuemmeler, PhD, a professor in the department of health and behavior policy at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, says that given the increased social acceptance of cannabis, the researchers were curious to see how many individuals with a history of cancer used cannabis. There were only two major national studies regarding this subject before the Virginia Commonwealth University study, he says, and they had wildly different results. One study suggested that 38% of patients with a history of cancer had consumed cannabis while the other found that 9% to 10% had consumed cannabis within the past 30 days. Fuemmeler, who is the associate director for population science and program co-leader in cancer prevention and control at Massey Cancer Center, says the results of their study corroborated the lower estimate.

The data he and his colleagues studied was part of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (“PATH”), collected in four annual waves from 2013 to 2018. The study was a collaboration between NIH and FDA that followed marijuana and tobacco smoking behaviors in a sample of the American population. The final sample of participants contained 20,724 individuals with 78% of them being white, 52% were women, while 59% had some college education. Analysis of the data collected between 2013 and 2018 showed that patients suffering from cancer reported much less marijuana consumption compared to people who never had cancer.

Specifically, around 3.8% of cancer survivors consumed cannabis compared to 6.5% of participants who had no history of cancer; older individuals with health insurance were even less likely to consume cannabis. Furthermore, greater pain levels were associated with a higher likelihood of cannabis consumption for both cancer survivors and those without a history of cancer.

These findings offer some food for thought for companies that manufacture cannabis products for medical and recreational, such as Simply Sonoma Inc.

420 with CNW — Cannabis Pipe Makers Gain Recognition As Cannabis Legalization Wave Spreads

In 2003, the U.S. Department of Justice put into motion Operation Pipe Dreams, which led to hundreds of businesses and homes being raided. The $12 million operation, which involved 2,000 law enforcement officers, targeted sellers and makers of cannabis pipes. At the time, selling and making cannabis pipes was a crime, with DEA’s acting administrator John Brown noting that individuals who sold drug paraphernalia were akin to drug dealers.

The possession and use of marijuana was made illegal under federal law through the Controlled Substances Act 1970. Under the act, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I substance, together with ecstasy, LSD and heroin.

Today recreational cannabis is legal in the District of Columbia and in 18 states, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois and New York. Additionally, 27 states have decriminalized marijuana, which makes the consumption of small amounts of the plant a local or civil infringement rather than a crime that may result in jail time.

National cannabis sales are expected to reach $24 billion in 2021, despite the plant being illegal on a federal scale. States such as Connecticut, Maine and Massachusetts have legalized the recreational use and sale of cannabis, with Rhode Island set to in the near future.

Unlike in the past, the use of pipes in connection with marijuana use has grown, which has brought recognition to the cannabis art scene. A good example of this would be Tito Bern who has been selling his work for almost two decades. Bern is the co-founder of the Bern Gallery, which is an award-winning glass and smoke shop. In addition, ceramists such as Jess Baer, who has a studio in Massachusetts, began to sell ceramic hand-glazed pipes in 2018, after the state legalized the recreational use of marijuana in 2016.

However, the artisan glassmaking market still faces some challenges, with the biggest one being the use of cannabis vape pens. Vape pens have increased the demand for oil cartridges and reduced that of cannabis flower, which has decreased the demand for glass pipes. Additionally, the mass production of these pipes in countries such as China has slightly impacted the demand for locally made pipes, as the former are more affordable and can be found virtually anywhere.

However, the difference in price hasn’t greatly affected demand for glass pipes, seeing as most American artisans create unique pieces that require a lot of skill and are often viewed as collectibles.

It is great to observe that cannabis legalization has not only allowed companies such as Hero Technologies Inc. (OTC: HENC) to thrive, but other related industries such as cannabis pipe making have also revived around the country.

420 with CNW — Michigan Uses $20M from Cannabis Taxes to Study Medical Marijuana and PTSD

Last week, state officials in Michigan announced that research projects financed by the state’s adult-use marijuana program will assess the effects of medical cannabis in military veterans. The projects have been allocated $20 million, with $13 million of this amount being used to investigate the effectiveness of cannabis in preventing veteran suicide and treating the medical conditions that impact armed service veterans in the United States.

This grant, which was awarded to the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (“MAPS”), will also finance a phase 2 study on the effectiveness of inhaled botanical cannabis in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”). The funds come from the state’s Veteran Cannabis Research Grant Program, which was established in 2018 by a legalization measure approved by voters.

For the study, researchers plan to recruit more than 300 veterans who will spend 35 or so days self-administering self-titrated inhaled doses of high-quality botanical marijuana. MAPS asserts that substance-use disorders, depression and PTSD contributed significantly to suicidality and were common disorders among veterans.

Berra Yazar-Klosinki, the chief scientific officer of the organization’s Public Benefit Corporation, stated that the grant provided the resources needed to align the body of scientific evidence with marijuana that was similar to what’s available in the state’s regulated marijuana programs.

Veterans have played a huge role in the fight against marijuana prohibition and encouraging more research on the therapeutic potential of other controlled substances, including psychedelics, to be conducted. If the study finds that smoked marijuana is effective in treating PTSD, phase 3 trials can begin, after which raw marijuana will be developed and sold as a pharmaceutical.

The remaining $7 million, which was allocated to the Bureau of Community Action and Economic Opportunity at Wayne State University, will be used to study how marijuana may be used to treat various mental health conditions, including depression, sleep disorders, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. This project will look into the biochemical mechanisms through which marijuana could be used to treat suicidality, depression, sleep disorders, anxiety and PTSD.

Meanwhile, legislators in Washington are calling for an ease in restrictions on cannabis research through the Congressional infrastructure legislation, which includes a provision that would allow researchers to study marijuana from retailers in cannabis-legal states.

Additionally, the Senate Appropriations Committee recently approved an amendment that would promote veteran access to medical cannabis, by permitting physicians at the Department of Veterans Affairs in the United States to issue marijuana regulations in legal states.

As the medical use of cannabis grows, the market for precise dose-measuring devices such as the RYAH Smart Inhaler made by RYAH Group Inc. (CSE: RYAH) is growing rapidly since the device addresses a previously unmet need.

420 with CNW — States That Could Vote on Cannabis Legalization Measures in 2022

It seems like the wave of cannabis reform that has been sweeping through America is not going to stop any time soon. More than 30 states have already allowed the consumption of cannabis in one form or other within their borders, and this year at least four states have passed cannabis reform legislation. With lawmakers considering federally rescheduling cannabis, activists in several states are also working on putting cannabis legislation before voters next year. The following are some of the states that will likely vote on cannabis legislation measures in 2022.

Arkansas will likely vote on cannabis legislation next year if activists are able to collect enough signatures for a recreational cannabis proposal. Prepared by Arkansas True Grass, this bill would allow adults aged 21 and older to purchase and possess up to four ounces of marijuana as well as grow up to 12 plants at home for personal use only. Additionally, qualifying adults would have no limit on possession as long as the cannabis is kept out of public view.

Idaho officials recently gave activists the go-ahead to start collecting signatures for a cannabis legalization initiative that would legalize the purchase and possession of up to three ounces of cannabis on private property. However, since the initiative doesn’t create a system for cannabis sales and taxation nor does it allow home cultivation, consumers would be expected to buy cannabis from neighbor states with legal markets and bring it back to Idaho. Activists are also collecting signatures for a separate measure that would legalize medical cannabis and allow patients to possess as much as four ounces of cannabis.

Maryland House Speaker Adrienne Jones recently said in a press release that early next year, state lawmakers will pass legislation to put the question of whether or not to legalize cannabis before Maryland voters as a referendum. In February, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on a cannabis proposal, while in March, a separate cannabis legalization measure sponsored by top lawmakers was subject to a Senate Finance Committee Hearing. Despite these hearings, the legislature didn’t hold a vote, and the two chambers are hoping to reconcile the differences between the two bills and send a bill to Governor Larry Hogan’s desk.

In Missouri a group of cannabis activists is working to put cannabis legislation on next year’s ballot via a number of initiatives. Fair Access Missouri, for instance, has filed several proposals that would allow adults aged 21 and older to purchase and possess cannabis as well as modify Missouri’s existing medical marijuana program.

Nebraska voters will most likely see two complementary medical cannabis initiatives on the 2022 ballot after the state Supreme Court voided an initiative that qualified for the 2020 vote. Senators Adam Morfeld and Anna Wishart are known to support medical cannabis reform, and they have previously said that they would work to put the question of legalizing cannabis before the voters in 2022.

If the states above start implementing legal marijuana programs, the people and companies in those states will potentially see the kind of growth that entities such as Grapefruit USA Inc. (OTCQB: GPFT) enjoy in California, one of the most mature marijuana markets in the country.
