CannabisNewsBreaks – HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC) (OTCQB: HTPRF) Slated for Success as Key Advancements Anticipated for Cannabis Industry in 2020

HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC) (OTCQB: HTPRF), a hemp-biomass processing entity, recently entered into a share and purchase agreement with Starling Brands Inc. to acquire Starling’s subsidiary Kase Farma Inc., a company authorized to work with hemp cultivation, extraction, refining, formulation and distribution in California (http://cnw.fm/uMc95). A recent article discussing the company reads, “Starling executives anticipate that 2020 may be the biggest year ever for hemp and cannabis policy reform in the United States, given recent changes in the regulatory landscape such as the 2018 Farm Act’s passage by Congress and the president, the SAFE Banking Act’s passage by the House of Representatives this year and the Congressional introduction of the marijuana-decriminalizing MORE Act. . . . Kase Farma is preparing new equipment for processing and distilling up to 12,000 pounds per day of dried hemp biomass for the coming year’s hemp-cultivation season, and HTC is likewise preparing to process hemp biomass in Saskatchewan under a tolling strategy coordinated with area farmers. . . . HTC expects to sell extracted cannabidiol (CBD) through brands under its related entity, Purely Canada Foods, including Purely Canada Hemp(TM), Purely Canada CBD(TM), Purely Canada CBG(TM) and Purely Canada Cannabinoids(TM).”

CannabisNewsBreaks – technical420 Highlights Potential Acquirers, Acquisition Targets as 2020 Shapes to be a Bounce-Back Year for Cannabis M&A

A recent editorial by Anthony Varrell of technical420 reviews a slowdown in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the cannabis sector during the last year and its expected positive trend and bounce back in 2020 and moving forward. The article highlights three companies thought to be potential acquirers, including Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC), MediPharm Labs (TSX: LABS) (OTCQX: MEDIF) and Jushi Holdings (CSE: JUSH), as well as companies technical420 believes could be potential acquisition targets, including Stem Holdings (CSE: STEM) (OTCQX: STMH), Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSX: FAF) (OTC: FFLWF) and WeedMD (TSX.V: WMD) (OTCQX: WDDMF). “Several high-profile acquisitions that were announced in 2019 have been terminated or are still pending. The closing of these acquisitions will be a positive trend for the sector, and we expect to see a bounce back in the cannabis M&A market in 2020 and beyond,” Varrell writes. “Once valuations start to improve, we expect to see a significant increase in the amount of M&A activity, and this is a trend that we will continue to monitor.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – Sugarmade, Inc. (SGMD) Rescinds Agreement, Considering Opportunities it Views as Superior

Sugarmade (OTCQB: SGMD), today announced the rescission of an agreement to acquire a hydroponic equipment supplier and, in a filing with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, outlines that approximately 1.2 billion common share equivalents will be returned to the company’s treasury. According to the update, Sugarmade’s board of directors has determined that the business combination is no longer viewed as the best shareholder maximization strategy and is considering numerous other opportunities that it believes are superior. “The hydroponic transaction was proposed more than two years ago and since that time the industry has changed significantly. Simply Put – We have looked long and hard at the industry situation and we have determined there are numerous other potentially larger opportunities at this time for Sugarmade and its shareholders,” SGMD CEO Jimmy Chan said in the news release. “The previous transaction is not the best way for us to maximize shareholder value.  We are very pleased to be returning all of the issued shares to the treasury, which significantly lowers our outstanding shares, placing us in a prime spot as an industry consolidator of the many troubled assets in the sector. Thus, as a board of directors, we are taking the bold step to rescind the Past of the industry in favor of the Future of the industry and the more lucrative opportunities that are currently under consideration.”

420 with CNW – Cuomo Vows to Legalize Recreational Weed in New York in 2020

Most of the states in America where marijuana is not legal are looking to change that by legalizing either medical or recreational marijuana in 2020. Although the legalization of marijuana at the federal level was not successful in 2019, this year, it might be possible. Last year, New York did not succeed in legalizing marijuana; but this year, the New York Governor Andrew Cuomo promised to legalize marijuana.

In his annual State of the State address on Wednesday, Gov. Cuomo said that the criminal justice reform is long overdue because, for decades, people of color have been disproportionately terrorized by the war against drugs. He also noted that it is high time New York legalizes recreational marijuana.

Cuomo feels that legalizing marijuana could bring in more than $300 million a year in tax revenues and billions of dollars more in economic activity if the marijuana program is implemented correctly.

Cuomo further said that he would work on marijuana plans in collaboration with other states such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut. He also noted that the university system in New York state should be allowed to conduct additional studies on cannabis and its effects.

As per the current cannabis law in New York, marijuana products meant for recreational use should not contain more than 0.3% of THC. The state has also decriminalized simple marijuana possession. New York legalized cannabis for medical use in 2014, and for patients to get access to medical marijuana, they are required to submit a certificate from a registered medical marijuana physician. Medicinal marijuana products are available in the form of capsules, liquids and CBD oil.

The state expanded its medical marijuana program by allowing more marijuana products such as chewable and effervescent tablets and lozenges, as well as ointments, topical creams, and transdermal patches.

There is a huge demand for marijuana in the U.S., and when consumers do not want to smoke, they can try using edibles. Edibles include gummies, chocolate, brownies, and beverages. There are 40 dispensaries which are open and serving medical marijuana patients in the state. The cultivation of marijuana at home by marijuana patients is prohibited.

Being an important state in the U.S., New York would provide a vast recreational marijuana consumer base for companies producing marijuana products.

This year more U.S. states, such as Utah and Virginia, will attempt to legalize marijuana and New York doesn’t want to be left behind. It would be eye-opening to hear what weed-related companies like Willow Biosciences Inc. (TSX: WLLW) (OTCQB: CANSF) and Dama Financial may recommend as ways to overcome the obstacles that prevented the previous legalization bill from getting sufficient support last year.

420 with CNW – New Hampshire Lawmakers Change Tactics to Legalize Weed in 2020

The New Hampshire legislature has new strategies that will help them overcome the challenges they experienced in 2019 as they reintroduce the issue of marijuana legalization during the 2020 legislative session.

A legislation seeking to allow individuals who are aged 21 and above to possess and give marijuana gifts containing a maximum of ¾ ounces of cannabis, as well as grow a maximum of six marijuana plants, was filed last week. The bill intentionally omitted the provision of commercial sales to increase the chances of its approval.

The New Hampshire proposal would be the same as that of their neighboring state Vermont. Vermont was the first state to legalize recreational marijuana through the legislature in 2018. Although there are no retail marijuana outlets in Vermont, adults older than 21 are permitted to cultivate their weed and possess marijuana for recreational purposes.

The new legislation has eight sponsors; three of them are Republicans. The bill has been referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, and its hearing is set for January 23.

Speaking to an industry publication in a phone interview on Monday, Rep. Renny Cushing said that the bill is bipartisan and that they are hoping that it will be approved in the House and Senate since the legislation would help in ending the criminalization of people found cultivating or possessing marijuana in New Hampshire. Cushing further said that legalization would be a step towards the commercialization of the crop.

According to the legislation text, the residents of New Hampshire are in favor of marijuana legalization. It also states that other states have legalized marijuana and allowed adults to grow weed to provide themselves with a supply of cannabis, which is a better alternative to buying marijuana from the black market.

It also highlights the penalties for violating the initiative. For instance, individuals possessing more than the permitted amount of marijuana would be subject to a misdemeanor charge.

Marijuana advocates are hoping that the legislators who initially opposed the legislation would support the new bill since it does not have a provision for commercialization; thus, no tax rates on retail marijuana.

The New England political director at the Marijuana Policy Project, Matt Simon, said that they wanted legislation that resonated with the residents of New Hampshire. The measure’s end goal is to end prohibition. The legislation’s goal is also to protect the adults in New Hampshire from being punished for a behavior that is legal in all their bordering states.

In 2017, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu signed a decriminalization bill into law, but he said that he would oppose any proposal commercializing marijuana. The legislators are hoping that the governor will be more agreeable to this new draft legislation.

Cushing said that the legislators are not sure how the Governor will react, but they are hoping that he would sign it into law if the bill lands on his desk. However, there is a possibility of him vetoing the bill since he opposed the medical marijuana home grow legislation in 2019.

Analysts think the chances of this bill becoming law are still too close to call and they think industry actors like ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) will be hoping that the people of New Hampshire get the choice to enjoy recreational weed like people in many other states.
