CannabisNewsBreaks – Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) Featured in Editorial as ‘Super State’ Operator

Red White & Bloom Brands (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF), a multistate cannabis operator and house of premium brands, is spotlighted in an editorial broadcast titled “A Lesson in Cannabis: Second Mover Can Be Better Position.” A press release announcing the broadcast observes that, while many look at first-mover status as an optimal position, there can be some advantages to learning from those acting first in an industry. “Look what happened to MySpace and AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) as they faded to irrelevance as Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram exploded in popularity to challenge incumbent platforms,” the press release states. “Second movers can enjoy advantages as they learn from pioneering entities that paved the way. Specific to the cannabis business, there is no shortage of companies that learned from sad experience the price to pay for expanding too fast, overpaying for acquisitions, or building a business a mile wide and a foot deep. Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. is a compelling mix of old and new that is methodically building a commanding position in the United States as a multi-state operator (‘MSO’). In fact, the company refers to itself as a ‘super state operator,’ a reflection of its strategy to remain hyperfocused on dominating specific markets before expanding to others, which ensures it doesn’t get spread too thin.”

420 with CNW — As States Legalize Cannabis, Federal Trafficking Cases Dwindel

A recent analysis conducted by the U.S. Sentencing Commission (“USSC”) has observed a decline in the number of federal cannabis trafficking cases from last year as more states legalize cannabis. The organization, which is an independent agency of the government’s judicial branch, conducted an analysis of the number of drug trafficking convictions and discovered that last year, there were 1,118 marijuana cases, a 67% decline from the numbers recorded since 2016.

Advocates of legalization maintain that the year-over-year decrease correlates with the increasing number of states that have enacted legalization, in addition to reflecting the deprioritization of the feds in pursuing marijuana cases. The USSC stated that generally, just over 16,500 convictions involved drugs last year. Of this number, cannabis cases made up about 7%. In addition, the USCC noted that 4% of the marijuana trafficking sentences were for over a decade, 16% were for a period between 5 to 10 years, while the majority — a whopping 80% — was five years or less.

This report by the USSC is the latest to provide data demonstrating that the state-level cannabis movement’s success corresponds to a decrease in federal marijuana cases. Advocates state that as more legalization laws are enacted, the market for illegal marijuana, which is usually brought in from Mexico, will dry up.  This will in turn lead to fewer trafficking cases to be pursued by federal prosecutors.

A separate report that was released in December 2020 by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts found that while cases which involve cannabis decreased by more than a quarter in 2019, federal prosecutions of crimes associated with drugs increased. Additionally, another study released in 2018 by the Cato Institute reported that state-level cannabis legalization had considerably weakened cannabis smuggling. Furthermore, data released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation late last year demonstrated that for the first time in four years, marijuana arrests had decreased on a national level.

These trends may likely continue this year, as the attorney general is of the opinion that the Department of Justice’s limited resources shouldn’t be used in low-level cannabis enforcement. In addition to this, more states are working on ending cannabis prohibition. Concurrently, congressional legislators are also working on legalizing the plant at the federal level.

Legislation to federally legalize marijuana, which was approved by the House in 2020, has been amended and re-introduced by Jerrold Nadler, chair of the Judiciary Committee.  Additionally, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in April revealed that a bill to federally legalize cannabis would be introduced to the chamber in the near future.

If efforts to reform cannabis policy at the federal level succeed, sector players such as Hero Technologies Inc. (OTC: HENC) will have fewer hurdles to contend with in its day-to-day operations.

420 with CNW — Everything You Ought to Know About the Marijuana Entourage Effect

Cannabis has become extremely popular over the past decade thanks to chemical compounds called cannabinoids. Produced by plants in the hemp family, these compounds interact with the body in unique ways and give rise to a variety of effects. THC is the main psychoactive compound responsible for marijuana’s intoxicating effects while cannabidiol (“CBD”) is medicinal and is claimed to be effective against a wide variety of symptoms.

Cannabis actually produces more than 100 cannabinoids as well as terpenes and flavonoids, but because of its federal status as a Schedule I controlled substance, little research has been conducted into these lesser-known compounds.

In the past few years, scientists have been able to study cannabis more closely, and one theory has become prevalent. Individually, THC and CBD could have their therapeutic benefits, but together, they somehow enhance each other’s beneficial effects while tamping down on the less desirable ones. Terpenes, which are produced by other plants and are responsible for marijuana’s strong aroma, also work together with the cannabinoids to make them more impactful. This synergy is called the entourage effect, and researchers believe understanding it is key to unlocking cannabis’ true potential.

Like cannabinoids, terpenes also have therapeutic effects, and this applies to those that are present in other plants as well. For instance, pine trees produce pinene terpenes, which have anti-inflammatory properties while lavender produces linalool terpenes, which have anti-anxiety effects.

In cannabis, a terpene called myrcene seems to have strong anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibiotic and sedative effects and can have an entourage effect when taken with THC, says Dr. Ethan Russo. He recently authored a seminal research paper titled “Taming THC: Potential Cannabis Synergy and Phytocannabinoid-Terpene Entourage Effects.”

Since cannabis has numerous cannabinoids and terpenes, the theory is that different terpene-cannabinoid and cannabinoid-cannabinoid combinations may have different effects. One study found that although THC can be quite effective at reducing cancer-related pain, it was even more effective when taken with CBD. Additionally, the study found that cannabidiol boosted THC’s analgesic effects while reducing its psychoactive effects, which can be quite helpful for those who are interested in THC’s pain-relieving abilities but don’t want to get high.

Cannabinoids such as THC interact with the endocannabinoid system (“ECS”), which is in charge of regulating functions such as pain, sleep and appetite. These are all functions that contribute to the body’s internal balance or homeostasis. CBD, on the other hand, doesn’t interact with the ECS, but it affects how THC binds with endocannabinoid receptors. Scientists don’t know exactly what causes this, but understanding how this system of receptors and cannabinoids and terpenes alter functionality could allow scientists to harness the entourage effect and open up cannabis to a wider variety of medical applications.

As firms such as BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE: BEV) (OTCQB: BVNNF) (FSE: 7BC) continue to bring innovative cannabis-based beverages to the market, consumers can expect to get a taste of the different cannabinoid, terpene and flavonoid combinations possible.

The article, titled “A Lesson in Cannabis: Second Mover Can Be Better Position,” looks at what companies looking to grow in the cannabis market can learn from pioneers in the space. “Even though medical marijuana had been legal in some U.S. states for more than a decade, the substance didn’t gain much recognition until Colorado set the market on its head in 2012 by making adult-use marijuana legal. Since then, other states have followed suit, while in 2018, Canada went all-in to become the first developed nation with weed legalized at the federal level,” the article states. “Not surprisingly, North American companies and investors were tripping over themselves trying to capitalize on the massive burgeoning market. In all market segments, plenty of lessons were learned as everyone from companies to investors to lawmakers worked to organize a brand-new market.”

420 with CNW — Massachusetts Regulators Extend Cannabis Telehealth, Curbside Pickup

At the onset of the coronavirus pandemic last year, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission permitted medical cannabis patients to access telehealth appointments and have their prescriptions delivered for curbside pickup in an attempt to increase safety. Consumers were allowed to place their orders either online or via phone; they could then pick up those orders curbside at the stores.

Now, the agency notes, the measures will be allowed to continue for an extended period, despite the State of Emergency declared by Gov. Charlie Baker of Massachusetts coming to an end. The State of Emergency was initially declared in the state on March 10, 2020.

While issuing final administrative orders at the start of this week, the Cannabis Control Commission’s executive director, Shawn Collins, stated that virtual community outreach meetings, telehealth consults and curbside operations would be allowed to continue until Sept. 1, 2021.  However, this date could change if the administrative orders are amended or the commission revokes the order.

For medical patients, clinical visits for purposed such as renewal and consultation can carry on through telehealth appointments. Additionally, individuals who have yet to register but would like to do so are encouraged to do so through telehealth up until September 1. The order notes that after the aforementioned date, clinical visits can occur either by telehealth or in person. As per medical-use regulations, however, any first-time patient will have to visit a clinic in person in order to be issued with an initial certificate of registration.

In addition to this, marijuana dispensaries can continue to carry out sales for curbside pickup by electronic means and by phone. This, the order asserts, will help keep both customers and patients safe.

The commission also stated that virtual meetings could be conducted by any individual who would like to host a community outreach meeting, as it would be safe and also allow those who couldn’t attend physical gatherings to also take part in them.

In other news, Cloud Creamery is planning on launching marijuana-infused ice cream in the state, as summer sets in. Residents in the state already have access to edible chocolate bars and gummies. Now, David Yusefzadeh of Cloud Creamery wants to heighten the edibles experience by utilizing local products, which will not only attract new consumers but also boost the industry’s growth.

At the start of the month, the state’s Cannabis Control Commission issued a notice to Cloud Creamery, giving the company the go ahead to begin manufacturing operations. The product will be available at Caroline’s Cannabis in Uxbridge, Western Front in Chelsea and Bud’s Goods and Provisions in Worcester.

Yusefzadeh also plans to bring traffic to minority and women-owned dispensaries, when the product begins to be offered at dispensaries.

The extension of telehealth services and curbside pickups is a good move as it recognizes how important medical cannabis products are to the people who need them. These benefits can further be exploited by making use of the range of products, such as the remote IoT dose-measuring device,made by RYAH Group Inc. (CSE: RYAH) to help patients take precise doses of their plant medicine.

420 with CNW — Medical Marijuana Activists in Pennsylvania See Workers’ Comp. Decision as a Win

Thirty-six states in America have legalized cannabis for medical use, and an estimated 3.6 million individuals are registered as medical cannabis patients in the United States. However, federal law classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance with no accepted medical use; cannabis is ranked right alongside hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin. Consequently, insurance companies refuse to cover individuals who use medical cannabis to treat work-related injuries. Instead, most of these patients have to pay for their medical cannabis out of pocket.

In Pennsylvania, however, a workers’ compensation judge made a historic and possibly precedent-setting ruling after declaring that an employee who was hurt while on the job and used medical marijuana to ease her pain deserved to be compensated by her former employer’s insurance provider. According to the plaintiff’s lawyer, Dana Kaufman from Kaufman Workers’ Compensation Law, this is the first time there has been such a ruling in Pennsylvania. Kaufman, whose firm operates out of Abington Township, has been trying to help her clients recover the costs they incurred after using cannabis to treat pain caused by workplace injuries. Until now, she has been unsuccessful.

Kaufman’s client, a home health aide, suffered serious injuries in a car accident that occurred as she drove from one client’s residence to another. After a car veered into her lane and hit her head on, her car flipped, and she was trapped inside, grievously injured, for 20 minutes. She suffered a trio of broken ribs as well as fractures to her legs, toes, and foot; she also sustained injuries to her hands and wrist. She was admitted to a trauma hospital for 10 days, and although she eventually recovered, she was left with nerve pain in one ankle and a leg that caused her immense pain and often woke her up at night.

Since she didn’t want to rely on opioids and other drugs that had side effects which made her unable to work effectively, she turned to a medical cannabis oil that she put into capsules and took daily. This reduced her pain enough for her to work two jobs as a daycare attendant and a home health aide for a cumulative 32 hours a week. Judge Rochelle Quiggle at the Pottsville, Pennsylvania, field office ruled that the plaintiff’s claims were more than reasonable and ordered her former boss’ insurance provider to pay her back around $4,000 and cover her medical marijuana costs ($400 a month) moving forward.

This is Kaufman’s first such win, and she says that she has several pending appeals at the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board and Commonwealth Court. Although it is now common knowledge that opioids have plenty of negative side effects, with even some insurance companies refusing to cover certain pharmaceutical pain relievers, those companies still won’t cover medical cannabis costs. She hopes that this ruling will change this trend and push more insurance providers to cover individuals using medical-grade cannabis to treat work-related injuries.

As more companies such as XPhyto Therapeutics Corp. (CSE: XPHY) (OTCQB: XPHYF) (FSE: 4XT) take their cannabis-based formulations through the clinical trial process, a time may come when insurers will cover cannabis medicines since they will have gone through the regulatory process.
