420 with CNW – Cannabis Legalization Linked to Fewer Vaping Injuries

A study found that states that had legalized cannabis were less likely to experience growth in vaping related lung injuries in the past year in comparison to states that prohibited marijuana use.

The study strengthened the arguments of advocates that called for marijuana reform, stating that its legalization and regulation reduced the potential risk of consumers using possibly dangerous and contaminated products.

The study also established that adult vaping rates and marijuana use rates had not increased as had been previously predicted.

It was noted that some of the teen consumers of adult-use marijuana users were ranked among the lowest with regard to lung related injuries from vaping, with less than 1 in 100,000 cases between the ages of 12-64.

On average, the frequency of these cases per state in terms of lung injuries was 1.4cases per 100,000 individuals in the said age group. In comparison, no state with high cases in lung injuries have recreation cannabis markets established.

The study indicates a negative relationship linked to EVALI (dangerous, lung disease associated with vaping) popularity and pre-outbreak vaping rates and cannabis use while also showing that well-established cannabis markets may have ejected the use of informally sourced, riskier e-liquids.

Combined, the five states that have legalized recreational cannabis i.e. Oregon, Alaska, Colorado, California and Washington, had less than one EVALI case per 100,000 residents aged between 12 and 64 while the states with the highest EVALI cases such as Minnesota, Utah, North Dakota, Indiana and Delaware, still prohibit recreation cannabis use.

It is speculated that a ban on smokeable marijuana products in two of the states mentioned above with a lot of cases, only permitted medical cannabis use. This may have further contributed to lung injuries as the only options left to consumers in the market were in the illicit and unregulated vaping market.

The CDC has in total, identified 68 deaths and over 2,800 cases linked to contaminated vape products. The agency has also discovered vitamin E acetate that is added to the illegally purchased and altered THC e-liquid cartridges as being a strong factor that may have led to the series of vaping-related lung injuries.

Another study that was published in April also ascertained that individuals living in states where recreational cannabis was legal were less than likely to sustain vaping-related lung injuries as compared to those living in states where marijuana is still illegal.

A high ranking CDC official stated last year that a clash between federal and state cannabis laws impeded research that was to aid in tackling EVALI cases.

Experts say this research shows that industry actors like Sugarmade, Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) have a case when they say legalizing marijuana reduces some of the health risks resulting from consuming unregulated products.

420 with CNW – Federal Report Shows Legalization Hasn’t Increased Youth Marijuana Use

A report from the CDC shows that cannabis consumption among teens has decreased during the years after states legalized recreational marijuana use.

According to the biannual Youth Risk Behavior Survey that was released on Friday, cannabis consumption increased between 2009 and 2013 then declined between 2013 and 2019. The data thus supports the case from backers that asserted that the creation of a regulated cannabis market would not influence youth consumption as prohibitionists had previously warned.

The survey also found that the rate of marijuana use recorded no change among teens and high school students between 2009 and 2019 despite consumption methods diversifying. When the analysis was done using another method, cannabis consumption declined during the 2009-2019 period.

The results confirmed the need to carry on the promotion of cannabis legalization and the regulation of community safety benefits as well as public health and with focus on limiting youth access.

The CDC report also shows 21.7 % of students in high school admitted to consuming cannabis in the last 30 days, while 29.2% reported to have consumed alcohol in the same period window. For lifetime use however, marijuana consumption is represented at 36.8%/

SAM, a prohibitionist group, stated that the data was a legalization negative. This is in spite of the figures showing that marijuana use hasn’t grown among teens with more states legalizing its use.

However, the analysis does not account for the fact that the CDC failed to include and observe lifetime alcohol use at any stage and the data was excluded from the report in 2019. The reason for this being that Youth Risk Behavior Survey coordinators decided to not include the question, this is including other changes that were made to the questions for the survey in the year 2018. However, no specific reason was given as to why the members decided to make the decision to do so.

In comparison though, alcohol use surpassed marijuana use. Therefore, making the assumption that trends of consumption would be the same is not far-fetched.

According to previous studies that focused on rates of teen use after cannabis legalization, there was a clear decrease in consumption. However, a related absence of evidence indicates an increase.

For instance, a study that collected data from the State of Washington ascertained that the decline in consumption of cannabis might be explained by the regulations that replaced the illegal market, which made marijuana lose its appeal.

This research is likely to come as good news to cannabis industry players like The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (CSE: WTER) (NASDAQ: WTER) who felt it was wrong to say marijuana legalization would increase teen use of the substance.

420 with CNW – Pennsylvania Governor Seeks Recreational Marijuana Legalization Amid Pandemic

The governor of Pennsylvania, Thomas Westerman Wolf, has urged the legislature to legalize recreational cannabis in order to assist individuals and businesses who have been badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a press conference that addressed the coronavirus recovery, he requested for the legalization of recreational cannabis and for the profits to be directed into grants funding small businesses.

A news release from the governor’s office stated that 50% of the funds would be set aside for businesses that have been at a disadvantage in the previous years. In addition to asking the General Assembly to pass a law that would legalize the use and sale of recreational cannabis, he also proposed that part of the revenue be utilized in the restorative justice programs, thus giving precedence to making amends with communities and crime victims who have been affected by the criminalization of marijuana.

Additionally, the governor would like the general assembly to follow up on criminal justice reform policies that provide justice to individuals who have been sentenced to prison or served jail term because of cannabis related offenses. The governor also proposed additional hazard pay of $225 million to be issued to frontline workers of Pennsylvania of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is to be done using the current PA Hazard Pay Grant Program’s overall structure and is to be dispensed by way of the Department of Community and Economic Development. These funds would be used to pay an increase of $3 per hour for the 208,000 frontline workers across the state.

Furthermore, the governor called for a Personal Protective Equipment Reimbursement Program to be established for employers that would make up for the cost of face shields, masks, hand sanitizers and soaps, cleaning supplies as well as any other sector-specific Personal Protective Equipment.

The governor oversaw the legalization of marijuana for medicinal use in Pennsylvania in 2016, with the state formally activating its medical cannabis program in 2018. With the large number of bars and restaurants that are struggling to survive during the COVID-19 pandemic, amid the lockdowns and restrictions, if the governor’s plan was put into action, it would cancel out and or eliminate Pennsylvania’s alcohol tax for approximately six months.

Also, the governor would like small businesses, protective equipment, utility shut-offs and child care needs to be financially supported by the state government.

If the governor succeeds in having recreational cannabis legalized, the entire marijuana industry, including companies like Pure Extracts Corp., would be vindicated in their belief that cannabis legalization can turn around struggling economies.

420 with CNW – Medical Marijuana: A Remedy for Chronic Pain

If you struggle with chronic pain, then medical marijuana might just be what you need. As compared to prescription medications for pain, medical marijuana is a much safer option with significantly lower risks.

Below are ways in which medical marijuana can aid in easing your pain.

Helps with Migraines

Approximately, 12% of the American population suffers from migraines regularly, taking into account both adults and children. Migraines as compared to headaches are extremely painful and more intense.

The use of medical marijuana as a treatment option for migraines was established by researchers in 2016. The Pharmacotherapy journal published its research on the utilization of medical marijuana by chronic migraine patients. The study established that medical marijuana could be used to decrease the frequency of migraines while also being used to manage the migraine pain as well. Additionally, it had the potential to be utilized preventively.

Relieves Joint Pain

People living with arthritis know that joint pain can make everyday a painful experience to go through, which diminishes one’s quality of life. To manage the pain, many are advised to make changes to their lifestyles such as incorporating exercises and losing weight. Although these practices are effective, they require time in order to establish routine.

Medical marijuana gives instant joint pain relief, which may provide the affected individuals with a reprieve from the daily pain, thus allowing them to comfortably implement the changes needed in order to better their condition in the long term.

Helps Manage Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy is generally linked to diabetes. It refers to damage caused to the nerves outside one’s brain and spinal cord. It usually affects most areas of one’s body but mainly the hands and feet. It often causes weakness and numbness as well as pain in these areas.

It may occur as a result of a harrowing injury as well as recurrent use which causes damage to nerves over a period of time. Neuropathy is usually managed using pain relievers, which include opioids and over-the-counter options.

The Journal of Pain Research published a research study in 2017 that established the relationship between decreased neuropathic pain and vaporized cannabis. In addition to this, the researchers were also able to observe and document the change in pain relief, on the basis of the cannabis dosage that was used.

Reduces Inflammation

Inflammation in the body causes pain, mostly dependent on the area affected. To the increase comfort of individuals who are trying to manage chronic pain, doctors and caregivers try to reduce inflammation.

Despite over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs effectively decreasing inflammation, long-term use causes stomach irritation as well as an increased probability of getting ulcers.

Future Medicinal Chemistry published a study review in 2010 that examined how marijuana could be used as an anti-inflammatory drug. In line with this research, it was established that cannabis interacted with the endocannabinoid system to create an anti-inflammatory reaction in the body.

Significantly Reduces Risk of Addiction

A major problem with using narcotics to treat chronic pain is that many individuals develop a tolerance to the drugs. So to keep managing the pain, dosages and medications are changed. This may result in addiction or dependence because of the regular use of opioids to provide pain relief.

However, emerging research shows that using cannabis may help treat an opioid addiction. Besides being used as medication for pain relief, medical marijuana may also help prevent individuals from using opioid pain relievers.

Furthermore, medical marijuana can also be used to reduce the likelihood of a relapse in individuals who are being given treatment for an opioid use disorder.

Experts say the diverse uses of medical marijuana to manage pain provide credence to what industry actors like Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. (CSE: PACR) say about the huge list of potential benefits of marijuana.
