Grapefruit Boulevard Investments (OTCQB: IGNG), a Los Angeles based company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Imaging3, Inc. (OTCQB: IGNG), today issued comments from Grapefruit/Imaging3 CEO Bradley J. Yourist concerning IGNG’s recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Amendments 1 and 2 thereto. “Since our last public statement much of our corporate energy has been absorbed by our efforts to complete the Grapefruit audit which for a variety of reasons has taken much longer to complete than we had previously anticipated. One result of this state of affairs has been to put significant time pressure on our CFO, his accounting staff and our entire management team such that with respect to our 09/30/2019 10-Q, an early draft of that report with blank spaces left in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and containing other errors was edgarized and filed with SEC on Tuesday, November 19, 2019 as opposed to the to the then final draft,” Yourist stated in the news release. “As soon as management became aware of that state of affairs, they caused an updated iteration of the Company’s third quarter report to be edgarized and filed with the SEC on November 20, 2019 which iteration addressed the majority of the errors present in the November 19, 2019 filing. Thereafter the Company’s CFO and management performed a review of the November 20, 2019 Amendment No. 1 to the November 19, 2019 filing and determined that an additional Amendment was appropriate. Today, the Company has filed Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s November 19, 2019 10-Q filing. We will issue a detailed press release updating earlier releases and concerning the Company’s audit and the progress of our business in the very near future.”

420 with CNW – Minnesota Marijuana Legalization Advocates Take Lessons from Colorado

This week, former Colorado public officials Stanley Garnett and Doug Friednash, who were opposed to marijuana legalization, shared their opinions with Minnesota legislators about the things to consider if cannabis is to be legalized.

The two are currently members of a Denver law firm with a department dealing with marijuana and industrial hemp. They said that they are sure they made the right decision by opposing legalization. At the time of their speech, they were invited to Minnesota by Ryan Winkler, who is the Minnesota House Majority Leader. Winkler is heading the cannabis legalization initiative in Minnesota.

The two said that the reason they accepted the invitation was to express their fears on the legalization of adult-use weed and regulations if Minnesota moves forward with the initiative. Friednash, who is the former chief of staff to Colorado’s Governor John Hickenlooper, said that other states that opt to follow Colorado could learn from their experience.

Friednash went on to say that the process of legalization was scary because no other state had done it and were afraid of the implications since they were being watched internationally.

Garnett, who served as the district attorney in Boulder County for three terms, said that he was in favor of adult-use marijuana prohibition before the voter approval in 2014.

Garnett has had a change of heart because he is now in favor of recreational marijuana legalization, as it ensures public safety. He noted that Colorado’s experience with marijuana has revealed that with proper rules in place, legalization is better than criminalization.

Garnett further said that he was initially doubtful of the success of the 2012 referendum in Colorado which required legislators to allow for the legal cultivation, possession, use, and sale of cannabis to adults.

Garnett also said that marijuana prohibitionists claimed that the legalization of adult-use pot would lead to the collapse of the western civilization because of increased crime rates, deaths, as well as deterioration of public safety. But, none of these have happened since legalization.

In Minnesota, they have a medical cannabis program that permits patients with a limited set of illnesses to use marijuana. The drugs can be accessed only in the form of a pill, oil, or vapor.

Winkler, together with other broader marijuana advocates, are drafting a bill for the next legislative session and the majority of the Democrats are in favor but the Republicans are against the legalization of marijuana for non-medicinal use. He says that they aim at creating a legal and regulated market while still enforcing action against illegal activities such as underage use and the black market.

The two officials also attended other functions during their stay in Colorado, such as the citizen meeting at the town hall, and they also met with leaders of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association (MPPOA).

The Executive Director of MPPOA, Brian Peters, appreciated the Colorado officials’ willingness to talk about the challenges they faced during legalization.

Friednash said that states need to change the packaging and labeling of edibles to make them less attractive to children. He also noted that stringent control of plant products should be implemented.

Friednash further said that before licensing, the state has to consider agricultural, revenue, and public safety impacts in addition or marijuana’s effects on the education system and human rights.

Industry watchers say cannabis entities like VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) and Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI) could be pleased that the Minnesota lawmakers opted to listen to both sides of the legalization debate from the perspective of Colorado.

420 with CNW – Michigan Starts Issuing Recreational Marijuana Sales Licenses

The legal sale of adult-use cannabis will happen soon after Michigan regulators issued the program’s first business license on Tuesday.

While inside a retailer’s Ann Arbor store, the director of Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency, Andrew Brisbo, issued three licenses to the leaders of Exclusive Brands. The licenses permit the business to grow, process, and sell adult-use pot.

The general manager of Exclusive Brands, Nick Warra, said that licensing marijuana businesses would help in breaking down decades of stigma surrounding smoking weed. While standing inside the Ann Harbor store, Warra added that buying weed will be like going to the liquor store to purchase alcohol.

Michigan residents approved the legalization of recreational marijuana through the ballot in November 2018. Since then, the state regulators have been working to develop a recreational licensing program.

However, medical marijuana patients are worried about the hurried issuance of adult-use business licenses because already, there is a shortage of medical cannabis products on the market, which may be made worse by the sale of recreational weed.

Last week, Michigan’s regulatory authority announced that medical marijuana businesses could sell 50% of their inventory to recreational cannabis customers. The first sale of adult-use weed is expected to be on December 1.

According to Warra, Exclusive Brands has had a medical marijuana business license since 2017. The business will start selling adult-use marijuana on Dec. 1. Delays in selling would be a result of the lack of a statewide tracking system for cannabis.

Warra also added that Exclusive Brands would be working closely with the vendors to make sure that they are ready to launch on December 1.

The selling date of recreational weed might be shifted to Dec. 2 because Dec. 1 falls on a Sunday, which comes immediately after the Thanksgiving holiday. But, license holders have to request permission from the state regulators before using medical marijuana products for the adult-use market.

The spokesperson for the Marijuana Regulatory Agency, David Harns, said that it is uncertain when the sale of recreational pot will start.

Warra revealed that it is still uncertain how many people will show up for the first day of sales of recreational weed, but the numbers are likely to be overwhelming since recreational marijuana is widely popular among residents.

The executive director of the Michigan Cannabis Industry Association, Robin Schneider, criticized the agency decision allowing the transfer of medical marijuana to the recreational market by saying that already, there is a shortage of medical marijuana supply on the market and the transfers will only drive up the product cost for the patients.

However, Warra countered that there are enough products in their company to services both medical and recreational consumers. He also added that Exclusive Brands is in a position to grow, process, and sell its cannabis. He added that businesses that do not own cultivation and processing facilities are the ones that may experience limited supply.

The ability to transfer products from medical marijuana markets to the recreational side will allow retailers to move products where there is demand.

On Tuesday, MRA issued five licenses with two permits being awarded to Real Leaf Solutions, which is based in Kalkaska. It was granted an event organizer license. PSI Labs, which is based in Ann Arbor, was awarded a permit for a safety compliance facility.

Brisbo said that many more licenses would be awarded in the short term. Analysts believe this announcement is music to the ears of the broader cannabis industry, including companies like The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) and HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC), that would like to see more people enjoying the numerous benefits of marijuana.

HempNewsBreaks – Hemptown USA Strategically Positioned to Become Largest North American Producer of CBD

Hemptown USA, a privately owned grower of full-spectrum, feminized hemp using premium-seed genetics, operates a farm operation with more than 500 acres dedicated to the cultivation of nonpsychoactive cannabigerol (“CBG”). The company’s recent harvest positioned it to be the largest producer of CBG in North America. An article discussing the company reads, “Hemptown USA has built CBD production from broad-spectrum hemp biomass in states such as Oregon, Kentucky and Colorado, but has worked to increase its profile as hemp-friendly laws have been enacted — particularly last year’s farm bill that legalized commercial hemp cultivation nationwide following years of prohibition. . . . The company’s focus on its CBG-growing resources is part of an ongoing effort to serve an increasingly health-conscious society’s desire for wellness based on natural elements with minimal pharmaceutical involvement.”

CannabisNewsBreaks – technical420 Highlights Three Canadian LPs that Appear Well Positioned in Burgeoning Cannabis Industry Despite Pressure from Recent Earnings

According to a recent technical420 article written by Anthony Varrell, several leading Canadian cannabis companies have reported quarterly financial results during the last month, and, on average, the market has been responding negatively to the numbers. Although these companies have reported strong growth compared to prior periods, the market has reacted negatively due to numbers that have come in below expectations. The article indicates that the cannabis industry looks to be well positioned to record strong growth going forward. It further highlights three Canadian cannabis producers, including Aleafia Health (TSX: ALEF) (OTCQX: ALEAF), Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB), that technical420 believes that, going forward, are well positioned to capitalize on the burgeoning global cannabis industry.
