CannabisNewsBreaks – LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (LVVV) Set to Benefit Upon Senate Passing SAFE Banking Act Legislation

LiveWire Ergogenics (OTC: LVVV) is diligently watching the progress of the SAFE Banking Act, which would permit banks and credit unions to offer financial services to legal cannabis businesses once passed by the Senate. A recent article discussing the company reads, “In December 2018 the U.S. Farm Bill was passed, which de-scheduled hemp as a Schedule 1 drug, although the use, sale and possession of cannabis with over 0.3 percent THC remains illegal under Federal law. Despite that reclassification, most financial institutions continue to avoid providing services to businesses operating in the cannabis space. . . . The Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act of 2019, HR19-1595, could change that. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives in September and then sent to the Senate, where it was referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. According to the official summary by the Congressional Research Service, the SAFE Banking Act prohibits federal banking regulators from punishing a financial institution for offering financial services to a legal marijuana-related business. . . . Passage of the SAFE Banking Act in the Senate and signing of the bill by the President will open access to broad financial services in the multibillion-dollar marijuana industry (http://cnw.fm/h8HqV) and would clearly give legal and vertically integrated operators such as LiveWire a significant boost.”

420 with CNW – Federal Agency Says Those with Drug Convictions Can Work at Credit Unions

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is allowing people previously convicted of drug possession to work at credit unions.

In July, the NCUA board announced the proposed changes to their employment regulations, which allows an exception for low-level drug offenders. On Monday, the agency published its ruling in the Federal Register and said that that it examined the comments submitted by the public and that the changes will be enacted into law.

The published notice states that although the NCUA board is not overlooking the impact of drug possession and use on public health, the board believes that people previously convicted of simple drug offenses pose less risk to insured credit unions. The notice further states that when drug convictions are handed out on people in disadvantaged communities, they are bound to experience several collateral consequences.

NCUA further wrote that people convicted of non-violent drug possession offenses are already suffering from extrajudicial consequences such as employment bans, loss of financial aid, loss of voting rights, they cannot access public housing, and are disqualified from occupational licenses as well as denial of public assistance. It also noted that people of color are the most affected by drug convictions.

The published notice further indicates that there remains confusion and uncertainty regarding marijuana offenses such that although it is now legal in many states, federally, marijuana is still illegal.

In certain circumstances, drug offenses are classified as de minimus, which means that those previously convicted do not have to tender a unique application to the NCUA board to be considered for employment.

For a person to qualify for a de minimus, he or she must not have other convictions that require a ban, and they must have been convicted of an offense that does not involve trafficking or manufacturing of Schedule 1 substances. Besides, a minimum of five years must have passed since the conviction.

Most of the public commented on the policy that supports the exception of individuals with a single conviction for simple drug possession, citing that they pose minimal risks to insured credit unions. NCUA further said that the majority of the commenters supported the policy and said that due to the uncertainty surrounding state and federal laws, the exception is appropriate.

NCUA also wrote that some of the comments agreed with the board’s observation that the drug convictions unduly affect people of color, and the convicted individual suffers extrajudicial consequences.

As of January 2, 2020, people who are convicted of petty theft, false identification, and isolated minor offenses would not tender a unique application under the new changes.

In August, NCUA chairman said that before the vote, the House had previously approved a bill protecting banks and credit unions transacting with the marijuana industry from federal regulators as long as they complied with the state laws. The agency also clarified that financial institutions are also now working with hemp businesses since the crop was federally legalized.

Industry experts are in agreement that the entire marijuana industry, including players like Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) and HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC), welcomes the announcement by the NCUA regarding the employability of persons with minor marijuana convictions on their criminal history.

420 with CNW – Campaigners Urge EU to Adopt Medical Marijuana Standards Like Germany’s

According to the newly-born European Medicinal Cannabis Association (EUMCA), businesses across Europe should adopt the good practices being implemented by Germany in their medical marijuana industry.

EUMCA was established recently, and it is taking its first stride in the Brussels bubble by advocating for a medical marijuana regulatory framework that could be implemented by the EU member states.

Although medical marijuana is well developed in some of the EU member countries, only standards that cut across all the EU member states can ensure that patients across Europe access the same rules.

EUMCA said that having different laws governing the prescribing of marijuana-related medicine across the EU member countries could result in a problem when patients are traveling abroad and need to access treatment.

The secretary general of EUMCA, Sita Schubert, said that the primary goal of the association is to inform the national and EU institutions of the potential of medical marijuana treatment.

The reason why most doctors are cautious around medical marijuana is the lack of clinical trials. However, Schubert said that most often, health professionals and legislators are just not familiar with medical marijuana.

The socialist MEP, Miriam Dalli, said that investors need a robust EU regulatory framework that would assure them of stability and give suffering patients peace of mind.

According to Schubert, the German regulatory approach provides a quality and safe market for the marijuana-based products produced in the country.

The German parliament approved legislation that allowed patients easy access to marijuana products for therapeutic purposes in January, 2017.

Patients registered to receive medical cannabis treatment were 1000 before the changes in the law, but after the law was approved, the number of patients increased to 142,000 in Germany.

The National Cannabis Association in Germany, Deutscher Hanfverband (DHV), estimates that the number of patients on health insurance receiving medical marijuana treatment is approximately 50,000-60,000, and this makes Germany the third-largest market for medical marijuana products.

Several European countries such as Malta, Czech Republic, Italy, the Netherlands, and the UK have developed policies giving patients fair access to medical cannabis.

In 2018, the statutory health insurance providers in Germany reported revenue of close to €70 million ($77.5 million) for medical marijuana products. However, EUMCA argues that without a regulatory framework that cuts across the EU, some demand for medical cannabis in Europe could be unmet. The association also noted that the drug is both life-changing and life-saving.

According to the EMCDDA (EU Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction), patients’ interest in cannabinoids to treat several medical conditions has been on the rise in the past 20 years. These medical conditions include anxiety disorders, pain, cancer, depression, insomnia, and neurological disorders.

EUMCA warned that when the patients are denied access, they can access treatment through the black market, where no regulators are overseeing the quality and safety standards of the products. Before being distributed, medical marijuana must be produced and tested under the European GMP as well as practicing good distribution practices, such as certification for warehousing and distribution.

EUMCA is open to working with big companies (Tilray and Pinaxia) and small companies (Cannaflos) to get medical marijuana to the level of the EU.

Schubert said that marijuana companies should speak using one ethical voice. She further said that since the future of medical marijuana is set, people with the same medical marijuana ethics should join the EUMCA.

It is believed that this level of advocacy is appealing to cannabis industry players like The Green Organic Dutchman Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) and SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) in North America who want to see uniform standards become a reality here as well.

420 with CNW – How Marijuana Can Improve Your Holidays

The holiday season is around the corner, and it is a time of festivities and gathering of families, friends, and relatives. To some, the season is a source of stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Are you nervous when attending a family gathering? Take a small dose of marijuana to take the edge off. Be careful not to indulge in excess since you do not want a noticeable high.

The consumption of marijuana during the following activities can help relieve some of the adverse effects of the festive holidays.

Family Get-Togethers

Sometimes it can be a challenge to be around relatives when all they want is to discuss controversial issues or do things that make you uncomfortable for an extended period. To make these visits tolerable, you can consume a microdose of marijuana while being careful not to induce an apparent high. If you want to be discreet while using marijuana, you can opt for consuming edibles as they are packed with a small amount of weed, which you can eat all evening discreetly. Since marijuana edibles do not have the smell of cannabis, you will not have “judgy” comments thrown your way.

Traveling

The month of December involves a lot of movements from one point to another since families want to re-unite either during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s. The traveling means some people are going to be traversing long distances, mostly through the air, and most often, this leads to jet lag. For those who are traveling, they can take a light dose of cannabis beforehand as it will help them sleep throughout their flight.

Feasting

During the month of December, which is full of parties and celebratory activities, people indulge themselves in a variety of rich and delicious foods and beverages. If you find that your appetite is lacking, you can take marijuana as it is known to improve appetite. It also makes food taste better. Purchase the strains that are known to induce the desire for food. Take a small dose before meals, and you will find that the food is yummy.

Unwinding

If you want to break away from all the partying and the additional strain such holiday activities can cause, take a relaxing strain of marijuana through smoking, vaping, or a bong.

Marijuana does not address all conditions; therefore, if you are overwhelmed by all the activities in the holidays to the point of considering self-harm, seek the help of a friend or a qualified professional.

Industry watchers are convinced that marijuana companies like VPR Brands LP (OTCQB: VPRB) and VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) can recommend the best product for the different situations in which you may find yourself during the holidays.

420 with CNW – What You Should Know About Cannabis Drinkables

Marijuana consumers are in love with cannabis beverages because they are discreet, taste good, require no equipment to use, and they are familiar with a safe delivery system.

In the cannabis market today, weed-infused drinks are one of the fastest moving products. These drinks include tinctures that are mixed with cocktails, non-alcoholic wines, beer, or champagne. Companies are also producing wellness beverages that, when taken they induce sleep; thus, instead of taking aspirin or Ibuprofen after hard exercises or games, take a marijuana cocktail, and you will feel relaxed in no time. Sparkling drinks are also infused with weed as they attract Millennials as well as the baby boomers who are not a fan of smoking.

Discussed below are answers to some of the common questions on marijuana beverages:

There are many marijuana beverages, why?

Drinkable marijuana comes in various forms, and these include liquid medicine, intoxicating drinks, and wellness shots. BDS Analytics is a company that tracks marijuana trends, and in mid-2019, it found that there 88 beverage brands on the market, which was 18 more than in 2018 at the same time. The total percentage of marijuana edibles in the market in the U.S. in 2018 was 6%. BDS estimates that by 2020, marijuana beverages, including those infused with CBD and THC sold in retail outlets and non-THC drinks sold in supermarkets and convenience stores, could be worth $1 billion.

Why did marijuana beverages take long to get on the market?

The process of producing weed-infused drinks is complicated because cannabinoids do not mix with water; instead, they float to the surface. Before coming up with marijuana beverages, researchers have done several hit-or-miss experiments. A Seattle-based beverage tech company, SoRSE, is among the marijuana innovators in the industry. The company is trying to establish how marijuana oils can be converted into water-soluble emulsions, which do not have taste or smell.

SoRSE vice president, Michael Flemmen, said that they used food-grade components approved by the FDA. The food-grade components are safe for consumption. Some of the products manufactured by the company include happy, sparkling, and marijuana-infused drinks, which include Utopia, a fruit-flavored sparkling water.

Will marijuana-infused drinks trigger paranoia?

The founder and Chief Technology Officer for Spherex, Niccolo Aieta, said that the marijuana-infused beverages have the advantage of predictability over edibles. Spherex is based in Denver, and it develops weed concentrates. An example of such a product includes Phyx, which is a sparkling water infused with light doses of THC and CBD. Compared to edibles, marijuana drinks reacts faster with body metabolism and the endocannabinoid system, and its effects are noticeable almost immediately. In this way, you can control how high you get with drinkables and thereby prevent sliding into paranoia.

Where can you buy cannabis beverages?

Consumers can purchase the drinks from the product’s website or in dispensaries in the states where marijuana is legal. Hemp-derived CBD drinks can be also be found in grocery shops in all the 50 states.

Nic Balzer, who is a member of U.S. Hemp Roundtable, said that the industry is faced with a lot of regulatory challenges, and they are hoping the FDA will make their ruling on the matter soon.

Analysts say the desire for regulations expressed by Nic Balzer is likely to be echoed by other sector players like The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) and Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) since they too are affected by the unregulated cannabis drinks segment.
