CBDNewsBreaks – ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (CIIX) Pursuing Untapped Chinese CBD Market

ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX), a financial news media and content platform that provides information to the global Chinese-speaking community, plans to expand its customer base with new hemp-based CBD products in 2020. Through CIIX’s CBD Biotech subsidiary, CEO Warren Wang plans to capitalize on the massive potential of the untapped Chinese CBD market. An article discussing the company reads, “Wang noted that China’s changing CBD laws can create volatility for CBD companies. However, those laws don’t apply to hemp-based CBD cosmetics, which are fully legal in China, Japan and the United States. Because CIIX is only involved in CBD cosmetics, the company remains unaffected by the changing regulations and is able to operate in a stable environment. . . . In 2020, CIIX will be launching new CBD cosmetic products, including an anti-aging product formulated to combat wrinkles. By targeting the Chinese-speaking community, CIIX has few competitors and plenty of room to grow. The company maintains its attention on the investment of both the distribution and the research and development of new CBD products.”

About Holy Herb Brands

Holy Herb(TM) is a fully tested pain relief spray and cream unlike any other on the marketplace.

They would put it in their tea, make lotions, and smoke the herb. Native Americans named the plant “The Holy Herb” because of its many medicinal benefits. They would use the herb topically to help sooth mosquito bites, rashes, bruises, wounds, sprains, muscle aches, joint pain and more. They would also brew tea with “The Holy Herb” to make a great tasting natural antioxidant that helps treat fevers and coughs. These two herbs combined together create a highly potent pain relief spray that delivers fast and sustainable results. For more information, visit www.HolyHerb.com.

420 with CNW – Colorado State University to Offer Degree in Marijuana

Colorado State University is launching a degree in marijuana after receiving state approval for the program on Friday.

Starting this fall, Colorado will be offering Cannabis, Biology, and Chemistry to undergraduate students wishing to study the science of the crop to ensure success in the industry, local media reported. The marijuana program is similar to a double major in biology and chemistry and features a lab permitted to cultivate industrial hemp to allow students to use cannabidiol derived from the plant during their study.

The program launch coincides with a time when the marijuana industry is booming, and more states are legalizing the drug; thus, increasing its accessibility across the nation.

Speaking to the media, the dean of College of Science and Mathematics, David Lehmpuhl, said that the degree is demanding, and it is geared towards increasing demand in the marijuana industry.

Lehmpuhl further said hemp and weed have succeeded in a lot of economic sectors across the country, and while the university is neither pro-marijuana nor anti-marijuana, their focus is about science, and educating their students to study marijuana science.

The program is about natural products, and the students would be studying the genetics of marijuana as well as other plants, which would be supplemented with other courses in neurobiology, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry. This includes finding out CBD levels in certain products.

Colorado State University’s announcement follows the announcement made by Colorado State University’s Fort Collins Campus about the construction of a new research center to study chemical compounds found in hemp. The research center will be opened in the College of Natural Sciences this spring.

Speaking to reporters, Lehmpuhl said that the U.S. needs trained scientists in the field of marijuana and hemp, especially after the 2019 vaping crisis.

Colorado adopted recreational marijuana early as it was among the first two states to legalize adult-use cannabis in 2012 through Amendment 64. Within the same year, Washington also legalized adult-use marijuana through a similar vote, Initiative 502.

In Colorado, people above the age of 21 were allowed to use recreational marijuana from 2014.

The state of Colorado earned more than $1 billion from marijuana in 2019, and the revenue is being used to fund public services. Since marijuana was legalized within the state, consumers have spent more than $6.5 billion, and there are no signs of reducing.

Oher universities offering marijuana courses include Northern Michigan University in Marquette, which is offering a four-year medicinal plant chemistry degree, organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, accounting, and financial management.

The demand for these program is anticipated to be high, and these announcements of the courses is most likely welcome news to sector players like SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) who have always struggled to get well-trained employees.

420 with CNW – Poll Shows Most Kentuckians Support Legalizing Pot

Support for marijuana legalization has changed dramatically over the last few years, with more and more states legalizing either medical or recreational marijuana. However, some states are more conservative than others; for instance, in Kentucky, cannabis is not legal either for medical or adult-use purposes.

However, a recent survey by Kentucky Health Issues Poll (KHIP) in 2019 showed that in the last decade, support for marijuana legalization has been rising within the state. And it was the first time more than half of the residents of Kentucky who were surveyed said that they were in favor of marijuana for any use. The majority of the survey participants said that they in favor of medical marijuana, while a little less than half said that they were in favor of recreational marijuana.

Chubinski said that from KHIP 2012 and KHIP 2019, there is a notable shift in public opinion about marijuana reform in Kentucky. But, it is essential to note that during that timeframe, the policy landscape about marijuana has shifted as well.

According to the survey, nine out of 10 people said they are in favor of medical marijuana consumption, which is an increase from eight out of 10 people in 2012. Support for medical marijuana has increased from 38 percent in 2012 to 59 percent in 2019, while support for adult-use marijuana increased to 49 percent in 2019 from 26 percent in 2012.

In a statement, the vice president of research and evaluation Jennifer Chubinski said that support for marijuana legalization for any use or adult-use purposes was more likely to attract support from the Democrats more than the Republicans or Independents.

The University of Cincinnati’s Institute for Policy Research conducted the survey, and they used 1,559 adults residing in Kentucky. The poll which came shortly after the 2019 Health Policy Conference was sponsored by The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky and Interact for Health. The focus of the conference was the impact that reforming marijuana laws has on the public.

Some of the topics that were raised during the conference that gathered prohibitionists and conservatives were the increased potency of marijuana plants. Other topics include how to measure the correct dosage, preventing young adults from using weed, impaired driving, and risks of accidental poisonings.  The poll results showed that there was a decrease in marijuana consumption among teens from 29% in 1997 to 16% in 2019. According to the survey, forty percent of Kentuckian adults have a friend or family who consumes marijuana regularly.

Although Kentucky officials are concerned over the common issues raised during the conference, other states in the U.S. are legalizing both medical and recreational marijuana, and it is clear that residents of Kentucky are ready to legalize marijuana.

It would be interesting to hear what sector players like Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQX: PLPRF) have to say about the chances of full marijuana legalization happening in Kentucky this year.
