420 with CNW – Utah Treasurer and AG Back Cashless Marijuana Transactions

Federal prohibition has been a massive thorn in the state legal marijuana industry’s side for years, and the coronavirus pandemic has made this abundantly clear. Despite cannabis being declared an essential service by most states with legal cannabis programs, businesses in the sector have been subject to federal restrictions that have made it nearly impossible to operate safely in these trying times. Aside from being denied access to relief funds dispensed by the federal government, marijuana businesses do not have access to the banking system, forcing them to operate on a cash only basis.

This not only puts them at risk of theft and crime, but it also puts staff, customers and anyone who comes into contact with the money at risk of being infected by the coronavirus. For months, advocates have implored lawmakers to correct this and grant cannabis-related businesses access to the banking system. Utah seems to be headed in that direction after state Attorney General Sean Reyes and Treasurer David Damschen called on Congress to pass a bill allowing marijuana-related businesses to access the banking system.

“Utah worked hard to find a sensible, humane and balanced approach to medical marijuana policy. But current federal law prevents access to insured financial institutions for businesses in this industry. That creates significant practical and public safety issues for both the general public and for Utah businesses operating legally in the medical cannabis space,” Reyes says. In a letter signed by 34 state attorney generals, he urged Congress to support the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, stating that it would help the state’s newly up-and-running medical cannabis dispensaries.

“The inability of insured financial institutions to handle cannabis-related transactions has forced businesses and governments throughout the U.S. to resort to cash to settle transactions. This represents an enormous public safety issue, including risk of violent crime, fraud and theft. Providing regulated and insured financial services to cannabis businesses allows law enforcement, and specifically the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network [FinCEN] within the U.S. Department of Treasury, the transparency needed to distinguish legal cannabis businesses from illegal activity,” says Treasurer Damschen.

The letter to Congress states that the “COVID-19 pandemic has sharply focused the need for legislative relief in three key areas. First, threats to public safety caused by a cash-intensive business model, often the target of criminal activity, have intensified in the months since the pandemic began. Next, the presence of large cash transactions places law enforcement, tax regulators, customers and patients at risk of exposure to the virus. Finally, the ability to efficiently collect tax revenue from the marijuana industry, estimated to have generated $15 billion in sales in 2019, will provide critical relief for state and local governments predicting budget shortfalls due to the pandemic.”

Analysts believe that the entire cannabis industry, including companies like The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF), hope the SAFE Banking Act will soon be enacted into law so that cash transactions in the sector become a thing of the past.

420 with CNW – Italian Supreme Court Confirms Personal Marijuana Cultivation is Legal

In a landmark decision that triggered anger from the country’s conservatives and calls for further legalization from cannabis advocates, Italy’s Supreme Court has ruled that small scale domestic cannabis cultivation is legal. On December 19, the Court of Cassation was called on by the Supreme Court to give a clear interpretation of the Consolidated Law, the legal framework for dealing with drugs in the country. However, its interpretation of the law, stating that personal cultivation of small amounts of cannabis is legal, went under the radar until after Christmas.

Since 2014, Italy’s law has provided a distinction between softer and harder drugs, with personal possession of softer drugs, like cannabis, incurring a penalty of 1-3 months administrative punishment and harder drugs incurring a penalty of 2-12 months. The Consolidated Law of 1990 made the cultivation and sale of marijuana illegal, and it is punishable under the same system of hard and soft drugs. Over the years, however, different legal cases handled through the system generated contrary decisions, and the law was brought to the Supreme Court and Court of Cassation’s attentions for clarification.

The court declared that the crime of growing narcotics should exclude “small amounts grown domestically for the exclusive use of the grower.” Although it is not clear what amount of cannabis constitutes small scale cultivation, the ruling comes from a case where the offender possessed the plants. “The court has opened the way, now it’s up to us,” said Matteo Mantero, a senator from the co-ruling 5-Star Movement who presented an amendment to the 2020 budget calling for legislation and regulation of domestic cannabis use. However, it was ruled inadmissible by the senate speaker from Silvio Berlusconi’s conservative Forza Italia Party.

The law has been met with stiff opposition from the country’s conservatives, with most conservative lawmakers stating they would squash the ruling if the opportunity arose. “Drugs cause harm, forget about growing them or buying them in shops,” said Matteo Salvini, leader of the right-wing League Party, referring to the proliferation of shops selling low THC cannabis in Italy. According to Maurizio Gasparri, a senator from Forza Italia, which is allied to the League, the center right coalition would, if it came to power, “will cancel the absurd verdict of the court.”

It would be interesting to hear what North American cannabis companies like Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) have to say about the best way for the Italian lawmakers to reach a compromise on the verdict of the Supreme Court.

420 with CNW – Illinois Unveils $31 Million Program to Address Harms of Marijuana Prohibition

For a long time, the federal government has outlawed cannabis, and it is no question that certain communities have suffered most from its decades’ long law war on marijuana. Aside from creating new job opportunities and producing tax revenue from sales, advocates for legalizing marijuana have argued that legalizing it would be the first step in stopping this unfair persecution. Indeed, several states that have legalized cannabis within their borders have directed substantial funds towards repairing the damage the war on drugs has had on certain communities.

Illinois, for instance, has had a very lucrative legal cannabis scene, and a large percentage of the funds received from cannabis sales tax has been channeled towards good causes. On Tuesday, for instance, the state announced that $31.5 million derived from cannabis sales tax has been made available in restorative justice grants. Last year, Governor J.B Pritzker signed a legalization bill that established a Restore, Reinvest, and Renew [R3] program which was created to provide grant opportunities for ‘communities impacted by economic disinvestment, violence and the severe multilayered harm caused by the war on drugs.’ State law stipulates that 25% of tax revenue from cannabis sales goes to the R3 program.

State regulators were required to identify economically distressed areas around the state where businesses and nonprofits were eligible for the funds which would be used for community assessment, planning initiatives and service delivery. Now that they have, eligible businesses and nonprofits can now access these funds.

“The R3 program is a critical step towards repairing the harms caused by the failed war on drugs and decades of economic disinvestment. Equity is one of the administration’s core values, and we are ensuring that funding reaches organizations doing critical work in neighborhoods most impacted by the war on drugs,” says Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton.

The tax revenue provided for the R3 program is meant to address five priorities: civil aid, economic development, reentry from the criminal justice system, youth development and violence prevention. “This program will start to close those gaps in areas most hard hit by gun violence, unemployment and criminal justice system overuse. To do so, we are looking to R3 communities for proposals of programs and strategies they identify to best address their needs and challenges,” Jason Stamps, acting director of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority says.

“In developing these funding opportunities, the focus has been on equity in opportunity at the community level.” The deadline to submit applications for the grants is July 20 2020.

This announcement is likely to be received as great news by marijuana companies like Round Meadow Holdings Corp. and Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) that have always felt that the era of prohibition was particularly hard on some demographics and not others.
