CannabisNewsBreaks – Willow Biosciences Inc. (TSX: WLLW) (OTCQX: CANSF) Announces Q3 2020 Results, Operational Update

Willow Biosciences (TSX: WLLW) (OTCQX: CANSF), a Vancouver, Canada-based company focused on manufacturing pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoids via synthetic biology, has released its financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. According to the update, Willow Biosciences reported significant advancement in its operations and strong liquidity. The update reads, “The third quarter represented another significant move forward for us, as we completed our first pilot campaign as part of our final development stage before we begin commercial production, which is anticipated to commence around the middle of 2021. From the pilot, and with our well-advanced downstream process, we were able to produce appreciable quantities of CBG as sample material at greater than 99% purity with no detectable THC. We saw significant demand globally for our sample CBG from a variety of cosmetic, food and beverage, and nutraceutical companies looking to qualify our product for commercial purchase in 2021. Building on these results, we plan to run at least one more pilot in the fourth quarter of 2020 to both further optimize our process for commercial production as well as meet the demand for sample material of CBG from potential customers. We are well positioned, both financially and technically, to start producing at scale in 2021 and transition from a research-based enterprise to a company with revenue generating operations.”

420 with CNW — Federal Marijuana Legalization Bill to Get Floor Vote in December

Steny Hoyer, a U.S. representative from Maryland and the House Majority Leader, wrote a letter to his colleagues providing details about the upcoming legislative session, slated to run November to December. That letter indicated that the long-awaited floor vote on federal marijuana legalization will happen, though he didn’t mention exactly when that’s likely to be during the brief session.

In his letter, Hoyer explains that the House will vote on the MORE Act. This bill seeks not only to decriminalize marijuana but also to create a pathway for the expungement of nonviolent, marijuana-related convictions that have made it nearly impossible for scores of Americans to secure employment, access credit or even find appropriate housing. These bottlenecks have prevented the affected people from contributing positively to the economies of the states where they reside.

It should be remembered that this same bill had been scheduled for a floor vote back in September. However, a number of Congressmen and women who faced tight races to retain their seats felt uneasy about voting on marijuana legalization while the House had failed to pass a COVID-19 stimulus package. The vote was therefore called off, and the Majority Leader promised to bring up the bill after the dust of the recently ended elections has settled.

Last week’s elections saw massive wins for marijuana as five states passed marijuana measures either for medical or recreational cannabis. That approval means that now more than one-third of the country has some form of legalized marijuana, including jurisdictions such as South Dakota and Montana, which are seen as very conservative.

Public sentiment is also massively in favor of federal cannabis legalization as evidenced by a recent Gallup poll, which found that nearly seven in ten Americans support the legalization of marijuana.

It is therefore not surprising that the House wants to vote on the pending marijuana bills since this is in line with what the public wants. Reacting to Hoyer’s letter about the planned floor vote, Rep. Barbara Lee, who co-chairs the marijuana caucus in the House, said that the success registered in the legalization ballot measures voted upon last week showed that it was necessary for Congress to get up to speed with the needs of the public.

Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader, also expressed his agreement through a tweet regarding the planned floor vote. It now remains to be seen whether the bill will have sufficient support to pass.

420 with CNW — Connecticut Governor Says Legalizing Pot Good for Public Health Amid Pandemic

With several states legalizing cannabis use, marijuana tourism has been on the rise. Cannabis tourism, or traveling across state lines to purchase and consume the infamous plant, attracts millions of visitors and dollars to states that allow recreational cannabis. However, with the coronavirus pandemic raging, traveling across state lines for cannabis may not be safe, says Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont.

In an interview with Yahoo Finance, Gov. Lamont said that legalizing cannabis amid the coronavirus crisis would be a big win for public health. With work-from-home and social-distancing measures in place to curb the spread of the virus, the last thing states need is people driving back and forth across state lines for marijuana. Connecticut doesn’t allow recreational cannabis yet but is surrounded by states that do, creating a situation where consumers are more likely to travel to neighboring states.

During his interview, Lamont stated that officials have “got to think regionally when it comes to how we deal with the pandemic, and I think we have to think regionally when it comes to marijuana as well.” When asked whether he would pursue cannabis legalization next year, Lamont said that he thinks he will.

Connecticut is facing a budget deficit of $2 billion, and the governor has shied away from increasing taxes or cutting government spending. Without stimulus funds, he says, Connecticut may very well slide into a mild recession and suffer even more job losses. The cannabis industry has proven to be quite resilient during the pandemic, and taxing cannabis sales would be a great way to close the deficit and boost revenues.

“Right now, I’m surrounded by states — New Jersey and Massachusetts — where marijuana is already legal,” said Lamont. “I don’t need a lot of people driving back and forth across the border. We’re trying to keep people close to home as best as we can right now. I think legalizing marijuana, doing that safely and making sure no poison is laced in, I think is one way to keep people closer to home.”

Although voters in neighboring New Jersey voted in favor of a referendum to legalize cannabis during last week’s election, marijuana possession, use and sales will still be prohibited until lawmakers pass enabling legislation for the program. In a separate appearance, Lamont stated that the passage of cannabis legislation in New Jersey as well as ongoing cannabis reform efforts throughout the Northeast underscores the need for Connecticut to enact cannabis policy change.

A company you should watch in the marijuana industry is The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER). This maker of alkaline as well as flavored water has also unveiled a line of CBD-infused products.

420 with CNW — Four Reasons Why Cannabis Is Good for Women’s Health

In recent times, marijuana has become popular, and researchers have been able to prove many of the benefits it provides for both mental and physical disorders. Both women and men face various health issues; however, some issues impact women more significantly. For example, cervical cancers, depression, heart attacks, menopause and melanoma exhibit more frequently in female patients.

Through the use of edibles, women are slowly discovering the health benefits of marijuana. Below are a few reasons why women should use marijuana for their welfare.

May help in mental ailments

Both women and men are affected by mental illnesses. However, these illnesses appear to be more serious in women. The most common mental health disorders in women are schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression; some of their significant causes include abuse, family responsibility and career.

Marijuana helps decrease depression and anxiety in women through the use of its antidepressant properties. Consuming marijuana in small doses aids in the release of serotonin, thus alleviating anxiety and stress.

May be used to relieve menstrual cramps

Menstrual cramps, or dysmenorrhea, usually occur during menstruation and can be painful. This pain occurs mostly in the lower abdomen and may be minimal for some women and severe for others, even reaching the point where a woman’s everyday activities are impacted.

Menstrual cramps are usually more severe at the beginning of the period and may cause back pain as well as dizziness, bloating, headaches and nausea. Marijuana may help reduce pain during menstruation. A 2015 study demonstrated that marijuana can be used to decrease menstrual pains. In the study, 192 women were surveyed, with 85% revealing that they used marijuana because it effectively decreased their menstrual pain. Most consumed cannabis by smoking or ingested it in the form of edibles.

Can be used as an aphrodisiac

At times, women may experience a low sex drive, which can be attributed to poor eating habits and not exercising regularly. While dietary changes may enhance sexual energy, consuming aphrodisiacs such as marijuana, which is a natural aphrodisiac, may increase a woman’s libido. Additionally, some women have reported less penetration pain during intercourse.

In another study, researchers found that women who consumed marijuana had two times higher sex drives and achieved more satisfactory orgasms as compared to women with irregular cannabis usage.

May alleviate skin issues

Environmental and lifestyle factors affect women’s skin in different ways. Pigmentation and acne are the most common issues. Using hemp seed oil may help maintain healthy skin. Cannabis’s anti-inflammatory properties may also help relieve eczema and acne. CBD, which is derived from the cannabis plant, may also help slow down the aging process while protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful rays and pollution.

Where marijuana use is concerned, the adage less is more appears to be true. Lower doses of authentic marijuana products appear to provide the benefits of cannabis. As always, if you’re taking medication or have any medical condition, consult your health practitioner before consuming marijuana in any form.

420 with CNW — Research Finds Off-Duty Cannabis Use Has No Effect on Productivity

The cannabis industry is without a doubt one of the fastest-growing industries. After decades of prohibition, attitudes toward the controversial plant are changing, with 35 states legalizing medical cannabis and 15 states allowing recreational use. Still, many employers worry that cannabis use, even while off the clock, can reduce employee performance, ultimately impacting the bottom line.

According to recent research, however, there is no correlation between off-duty cannabis use and reduced productivity at work. First published in May 2020, the study sought to determine how using cannabis at different times of the day affected people’s ability to meet their job requirements as well as their behavior and attitude towards their colleagues and work respectively. Despite cannabis’ infamy, the plant is one of the most-used drugs in the country, with an estimated 20% of Americans thought to have used it in their lifetime.

Cannabis is known to reduce anxiety and induce relaxation without a morning hangover, making it perfect for unwinding after a day at work. Most cannabis drug tests check for metabolites, which are chemicals that remain in the body long after the drug breaks down. This means that an employee can fail a drug test and be penalized for cannabis they consumed over the weekend or even a week ago.

In the study, 281 employees who used cannabis and 281 direct supervisors participated. The employees were asked to report how frequently they used cannabis over the past 12 months. Specifically, they were asked questions regarding a number of parameters, such as in a timeframe of two hours before they started their work shifts, how often they used marijuana in the past 12 months during their workday, and how often they used the substance over the past year in a duration not exceeding two hours of leaving work. The supervisors were asked to observe as well as evaluate their subordinates’ performance.

The researchers found that using cannabis before and even during work negatively impacted employee productivity, as expected. Cannabis use reduced \concentration and ability to solve problems and effectively carry out tasks as well as an employee’s tendencies to assist other employees and function cohesively in a team. Cannabis use before and during work also increased employees’ propensity for counterproductive behavior, such as excessive daydreaming.

However, using cannabis after work did not impact employees’ ability to complete their assignments the next day nor their ability to relate cordially and professionally with their workmates. Unlike alcohol, employees who used cannabis after work did not exhibit reduced productivity nor an increased propensity for unproductive behavior the next day.

Hemptown Organics, an industry leading cannabinoid company delivering a diverse product offering, was recently featured in “America’s Next Investment” — a national TV series focused to help companies raise capital through equity crowdfunding. The episode focused on Hemptown’s regulation D offering, highlighting a promising investment opportunity in the hemp industry, with the U.S. market expected to hit $16 billion by 2025. “In the 90s, we didn’t have hemp, we didn’t have CBD,” Hemptown Founder Rod Wolterman said regarding the company’s entry into the sector. “We’ve figured out that we have endocannabinoid systems. We produce CB1 and CB2 in our bodies. Knowing cannabis and knowing the health benefits and the ability to sell this without any of the restrictions cannabis has,” Wolterman further stated of the opportunity in entering the space. The discussion showcased Hemptown’s turnkey process, from grow fields and harvesting, all the way through to packaging, distribution and bringing products to market.

420 with CNW — The Benefits, Drawbacks and Myths of Marijuana Consumption Methods

If you’re a regular marijuana user or are planning to join the club, then you know that the “how” you ingest the herb is a primary concern for many. It’s well known that the mental and physical benefits you may obtain from the herb largely depend on how the substance gets into your system.

To help you with this, let’s discuss the most common ways to ingest cannabis as well as the pros and cons of each method; we’ll also debunk some misconceptions and myths while we’re at it.

First, you should know that there are three main ways to consume marijuana: inhaled, topical or oral. The most popular of the three is inhalation. Despite the health concerns related to smoking, this is the most popular consumption method because of ease of access and almost-instant effects.

When a person inhales marijuana smoke, the compound enters their lungs before their bloodstream. You can smoke marijuana through these methods;

Blunts and Joints

This is the most basic way to smoke marijuana as it requires little equipment. Joints and blunts are portable, easy to use and affordable in comparison to other ways. However, those who have sensitive lungs may not prefer this method. Additionally, this equipment does require some skill on the part of the user.

Pipes

These are a standard tool for smoking weed and are often made from glass or wood. They are easy to carry, light and small. While they’re available in most smoke shops and lead to little or no THC loss, they break easily and warm up quickly.

Bongs

These are glass devices that filter and cool down the smoke, rendering it less harsh on your lungs. They’re also better for people with a high tolerance, as the hits are pretty strong. However, most bongs aren’t portable and require the user to change the water as often as possible to prevent the water from smelling.

Moving on to some myths.

While many people think that using a bong is better for your health because it filters out harmful elements from the weed, that may not be completely true. The water does trap some particulates and tar but not any potential carcinogens released by the cannabis.
Between joints and blunts, which is better? Turns out joints are. Blunts are simply hollowed-out cigars. If you’d like to make the move from both options though, you can try hemp wraps. Not only are they nonaddictive and natural, but they’re also 100% nicotine free.

All in all though, you should ingest cannabis in moderation. While these methods may be popular because of their immediate effects, none of them are free of harmful effects.

One company you should watch is Pure Extract Technologies Inc. (CSE: PULL). This company focuses on extracting plant compounds, and while Pure Extracts was initially attending to the marijuana industry alone, it has now spread its wings to psychedelics and functional mushrooms.

Gage Cannabis Co.’s Lansing Location Now Offering Recreational Marijuana

Experts expect the recreational marijuana market in Michigan to rival the numbers currently seen in some of country’s top cannabis markets within the next few years
Gage Cannabis Co. is innovating and curating the highest-quality cannabis experiences possible for cannabis consumers in the state of Michigan
New Lansing location offers a wide range of products, all available for purchase through curbside delivery or walk-up pick up

Gage Cannabis is strengthening its position as Michigan’s leading high-quality craft cannabis brand and operator by offering recreational marijuana at its Lansing, Michigan location (https://cnw.fm/QxA9R). The company is committed to building the fastest-growing cannabis brand in the state, which is currently home to one of the fastest-growing legal cannabis markets in the country.

“We are thrilled to start offering recreational sales to more customers within the Lansing area,” said Gage Cannabis Co. president Fabian Monaco. “The demand for adult-use products has exploded in the past year, and we are ready and eager to meet those needs. We have received an overwhelmingly positive response from medical patients about our products and retail experience, and we look forward to providing the same level of service and product selection to our new community of recreational customers.”
Gage’s Lansing location offers a wide range of products, all available for purchase through curbside delivery or walk-up pick up. The store’s product offerings include flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, topicals, tinctures, CBD products, accessories and apparel. The company also features products by Redemption Cannabis, which was founded by Ryan Basore, one of Gage’s first social-equity program recipients.

Through this program, Gage offers grants of up to $50,000 to help those who were harmed by the war on drugs. In 2019, Basore, who spent two and a half years in prison after his cannabis business was raided by authorities, received the grant from Gage Cannabis and used the funds to join with other drug-war victims and create the Redemption brand (https://cnw.fm/9btnl).

In addition to its Lansing location, Gage has four additional locations up and running — Adrian (which also offers recreational marijuana), Detroit, Ferndale and Traverse City — with eight more locations coming soon. The company has plans to have more than 20 operating locations by the end of 2021.

Many experts expect the recreational marijuana market in Michigan to rival the numbers currently seen in some of the country’s top cannabis markets within the next few years (https://cnw.fm/LRCyn). An estimated 3% of Michigan’s residents hold medical marijuana cards, a much higher percentage than most other medical markets. A leading research organization predicts that the state’s recreational market could triple in size between 2020 and 2023.

Gage Cannabis Co. is innovating and curating the highest-quality cannabis experiences possible for cannabis consumers in the state of Michigan and bringing internationally renowned brands to market. Through years of progressive industry experience, the firm’s founding partners have successfully built and grown operations with federal and state licenses, including cultivation, processing and retail locations. Gage’s portfolio includes city and state approvals for 19 Class C cultivation licenses, three processing licenses and 13 provisioning centers (dispensaries). The company is currently planning a Canadian listing for early 2021 (https://cnw.fm/SZtCk) and has launched a Regulation A, Tier 2, equity financing.
