420 with CNW – New Mexico Governor Regrets Missed Opportunity to Legalize Cannabis Before COVID-19 Pandemic

One of the best arguments for legalizing cannabis has been the tax revenue states stand to earn. Aside from providing employment opportunities, a legal cannabis market can generate millions in tax revenue. And at a time like this when most businesses are shut down while the cannabis industry still soldiers on, that revenue would have been a lifesaver.

The governor of New Mexico recently said that she regretted the fact that the state hadn’t yet legalized recreational marijuana. In a press conference last week, Governor Michelle Lynn Lujan was asked how she planned to address the financial uncertainty caused by the coronavirus outbreak, and she said that although steps were being taken to handle it, she regretted losing cannabis as a source of revenue.

“If there was a time for wishful thinking, I wish we had passed recreational cannabis because that would be $100 million in tax revenue,” she says, acknowledging that the estimate was made before the outbreak.

“Nevertheless, a regulated marijuana market would be $100 million in the budget, and I’m very sad about that.”

Last year, she formed a working group to develop a legalization plan ahead of the January 2020 legislative session. The group estimated that the combined tax revenue from medical and recreational cannabis sales would be $100 annually, with sales reaching $620 million by the fifth year of legalization.

However, as the governor stated, the estimates were made before the coronavirus broke out. With most businesses shut down and stay at home orders in place, the economy is in shambles. On top of that, essential businesses like cannabis have to adhere to social distancing measures which would without a doubt affect sales. Consequently, the state would receive reduced tax revenue.

Additionally, a prior legalization bill that failed to pass stipulated that sales would begin on July 1. So even if it had been passed, the state wouldn’t have been able to collect the tax revenue.

The federal government deployed relief funds for small businesses, but since cannabis is still illegal at the federal level, marijuana businesses have been barred from accessing them. This has made it even harder for them to continue operating during the lockdown. However, a coalition of stakeholders and lawmakers are urging lawmakers to allow the state-legal cannabis industry to access the next coronavirus relief funds.

Governor Lujan had previously stated that she was open to letting voters decide on marijuana legalization through a ballot referendum. She also called for a special session but a spokesperson said that it is unlikely the reform will be pursued. Additionally, House Speaker Brian Egolf has stated that it is unlikely cannabis legalization will be part of a special session before the end of the year.

Analysts say the views expressed by Gov. Lujan show that what the cannabis industry players like Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) have always said about the economic potential of marijuana is true for jurisdictions that legalize the industry.

420 with CNW – Racial and Civil Rights Groups Urge Congress to Give Cannabis Companies Access to COVID Funds

The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic will be felt for years to come. Early this year as parts of China shut down due to the outbreak, several industries ran into supply chain disruptions. However, as the virus spread and governments started taking more drastic measures to curb its spread, the impact was even more pronounced.

Cannabis Industry Denied Access

Most businesses are shut down and almost all commerce has ground to a halt. To help cushion small businesses and help them survive, the federal government deployed federal coronavirus relief funds through the Small Business Administration (SBA). One industry that was conspicuously denied access to those funds, however, was cannabis.

Despite being deemed essential by most states that allow cannabis, businesses in the sector cannot access these emergency relief funds. On Monday, a coalition of marijuana reform and civil rights groups sent a letter to Congressional leaders asking them to rethink this decision.

Dubbed the “Marijuana Justice Coalition (MIC),” it consists of 13 organizations including ACLU, NORML, Human Rights Watch, the Center for American Progress, and the Center for Law and Social Policy. They have asked lawmakers to make sure that future COVID-19 stimulus packages include provisions enabling the cannabis industry to receive loan and lending services through the SBA.

“Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the marijuana industry already struggled with inclusivity and diversity in ownership and operations, as well as countless barriers to the industry for people directly impacted by marijuana criminalization,” they said. Despite being allowed to operate during the lockdown, social distancing and delivery measures are hard on the bottom line.

The challenges caused by the coronavirus outbreak will disproportionately hit minority-owned businesses the hardest, jeopardizing efforts to make the industry more reflective of communities directly affected by marijuana prohibition, they said.

“Workers in the state-legal marijuana industry are no different from other sectors of the economy who show up to work every day to provide for their families. If marijuana businesses are unable to survive, the lives of millions of patients registered in state medical marijuana programs and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of marijuana workers will be under threat,” the coalition wrote.

“Until broader national reforms can be enacted, it is vital that immediate action is taken to protect small businesses, namely businesses owned and operated by people of color and people directly impacted by the war on drugs, operating in this industry. This will ensure that underrepresented business owners are able to survive this economic hit in an industry in which they are already under-resourced.”

It is widely believed that the entire cannabis industry, including companies like Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF), are hoping that the day dawns when the industry will be given equal treatment as other legitimate businesses.

420 with CNW – New Jersey Voters Likely to Vote in Favor of Cannabis Legalization

Last December, New Jersey lawmakers approved a resolution that would put a referendum on legalizing marijuana on the state’s 2020 ballot. A select group of lawmakers, advocates as well as Gov. Phil Murphy has been hoping to pass the marijuana legalization measure last year, but disagreements over the specifics of the bill made it impossible.

With the decision to legalize marijuana to be put on a referendum, they were hoping voters would vote in favor of legalization. “We’re optimistic that next November New Jersey voters will replace an eight-decade long policy disaster with a far more sensible approach to marijuana,” Karen O’Keefe, state policies director for the Marijuana Policy Project said at the time.

A survey by Monmouth University has found that their hopes may not be unfounded. 704 registered voters were interviewed from April 16 to 19, and a majority of them were in favor of marijuana legalization. 61% of the respondents said they would vote in support of the proposal, while 34% said they would vote against it.

On the political front, 74% of the Democrats, 74% of the independents, and 40% of the Republicans said they would vote in favor of the legalization measure in the referendum.

78% of those aged 18-34, 62% of those between 35-54 and 48% of those 55 and older supported the legalization measure. When the voters were asked about allowing individuals 21 and older to possess small amounts of cannabis, 64% were in support of it while 32% were against it.

Additionally, 48% of the New Jersey residents stated that it would be a good idea to let adults purchase cannabis from a licensed store as opposed to the black market. 38% said it was a bad idea, while 22% said they didn’t have an opinion on the matter.

“Support for the marijuana ballot measure is widespread in part because many who have no opinion on whether legalization is a good idea figure they might as well vote for it,” explains Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.

The survey also found that six in ten New Jersey voters (62%) believe that legalizing marijuana is good for the economy. 10% say legalization will hurt the economy and 21% believe it would have no impact either way.

However, 27% of the respondents believe legalizing marijuana would lead to an increase in other drug-related crimes while 22% believe it will lead to a decrease in other drug crimes instead. 46% say legalization won’t have an effect either way.

Experts are of the view that support for the referendum may grow as campaigners get to work to marshal further support among the voters. It would be interesting to pick the brains of established companies like Round Meadow Holdings Corp. and The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) on what they think the prospects of legalization on voting day are.

420 with CNW – Marijuana Edibles Could Become More Popular After Coronavirus Outbreak

The coronavirus pandemic is like nothing we’ve ever experienced. The virus has quite literally ground the globe to a halt, with most businesses shut down and people stuck indoors. The chances of kicking it in the foreseeable future are quite slim, and experts say life may not go back to normal when we eventually do.

Cannabis was lucky enough to be declared essential by most state governments that allow marijuana within their borders. Not only has this proved just how important the industry is to the millions of patients and the over 200,000 employees that rely on it, but it has shown that governments are willing to accept marijuana.

In fact, as soon as most lockdowns were announced, cannabis stores reported massive spikes in demand. According to Elliot Dobris, a spokesperson for the Apothecarium, a dispensary with three San Francisco locations, the day of shelter in place was the busiest day they’d ever had. “We’ve never had longer lines than that, including 4/20 and the first days of recreational sales in the state, ever. Stores were absolutely slammed.”

Pot stores have also reported another interesting development. They are recording higher edible sales than ever before, while flower and vape sales have gone down. Eaze, a  California based marijuana delivery company has seen edible sales increase from 15% to 30%, while flower and vape sales have reduced from 25% to 17% and 33% to 25% respectively.

That is to be expected. The coronavirus attacks the respiratory system, and experts say smoking will compromise your lung health, thereby putting you at greater risk of developing severe symptoms if you do contract the virus. And as folks still need their cannabis, they have turned to ingesting it, which is arguably the safest way to use cannabis.

“Based on prior studies with other pulmonary infections, both bacterial and viral, it is highly likely that cigarette smoking and vaping will increase the risk of coronavirus pneumonia and increase its severity, though we don’t know to what extent,” says Dr. Michael Matthay, Associate Director of Critical Care Medicine at UCSF.

It is feasible that even after the outbreak dies down, people might stick to edibles. Long time marijuana users often transition to edibles to preserve their lung health, and as experts say we might be stuck with the virus for quite a while, it would make sense to continue using edibles.

Edibles do have a certain reputation, but that’s because most first-timers jump in without doing their research. As more of the THC in the cannabis is absorbed, edibles can be quite strong. This shelter in place time could give folks time to experiment and find out just what works for them, and it may shape their preferences in the future.

Analysts believe sector players like Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQX: PLPRF) are crunching the numbers on these trends in order to make their long-term plans appropriately.
