420 with CNW – New Florida Bill to Protect Medical Marijuana Patients from Being Fired

The number of registered medical marijuana patients in Florida is estimated to be about 300,000. The patients are issued with medical marijuana cards that give them access to MMJ for them to legally to treat some medical conditions. However, these licensed users of medical marijuana in Florida are facing negative consequences at work and in school.

Some of the people who have suffered a setback in their education or career because of medical marijuana include Kaitlin McKeon who enrolled for a nursing program at Nova Southeastern University. The school requires applicants to do a drugs test, and hers came back positive for marijuana. She uses medical marijuana to treat chronic stomach pain. After the failed drugs test, the school dismissed her application which further derailed her career and education.

Another victim is Alan J. McDuffie who worked for the city of Miami. He applied for a permanent position with his department and was required to do a drug test which turned positive for marijuana. The city fired him even after he told them that he is registered for medical marijuana. McDuffie uses marijuana to manage back spasms. Both McKeon and McDuffie have filed suits against their respective institutions. They claim that the institutions discriminated against them for using medical cannabis.

Florida’s statute of medical marijuana gives employers the freedom to implement drug-free policies and the law does not stipulate that employers retain workers using medical marijuana. However, the new legislation that could change all that in Florida is in the House. The bill which was proposed by Boca Raton Rep. Tina Polsky would provide some protection for people using marijuana in schools and workplaces.

Adam Kemper, a Boca Raton employment attorney whose specialization is medical marijuana compliance, said that the timing of the bill is perfect because the number of people using medical marijuana in Florida is increasing.

The bill would prohibit employers from discriminating, firing, downgrading, or taking any other adverse action against an employee who is a registered user of medical pot. However, the bill would not offer protection for people whose jobs are safety-sensitive such firefighters, people operating heavy pieces of machinery, drivers, those handling dangerous materials, carrying weapons, and persons providing care to children or patients.

The new bill stipulates that a person whose drug test is positive must provide a written notice explaining why the tests are positive. They can also submit a doctor’s certification and MMJ cards as proof of legal use. The bill also permits people fired or penalized for using marijuana to file a lawsuit against their employer for compensation and reinstatement.

Kemper also said that if pot usage is hampering with an employee’s job performance, the bill allows employers to take action such as discharge the person from their duties.

The legislation does not address employees’ rights when an employer asks about the medical condition that requires them to use pot. However, federally, if an employee is seeking accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act, they must disclose their medical history and the specific medical condition to the company.

Under any other condition, the employers would be crossing the line if they asked employees personal questions.

According to industry watchers, marijuana industry players like VPR Brands LP (OTCQB: VPRB) and Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) welcome this proposed law because employees or students will no longer be made to choose between treatment and their jobs or studies.

420 with CNW – New Jersey Lawmakers Now Say Voters Will Have Final Say on Marijuana Legalization

In New Jersey, lawmakers are abandoning plans of legalizing marijuana through the legislature and are now looking to enter the proposal on the 2020 ballot for the voters to decide.

On Monday, President of the Senate, Steve Sweeny and the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Scutari (D) in a press release said that their efforts to gather more support for the measure did not bear any fruit which is why they have filed a motion to allow New Jersey residents to vote on the matter in a referendum.

In their press release, the leaders said that they are seeking for approval to enter the measure of legalizing adult-use cannabis on the 2020 ballot. The legislation seeking for a public referendum was introduced in the legislature on Monday. The proposal will lead to the establishment of a system that permits people to buy and use cannabis recreationally and responsibly.

They further said that the measure would make it possible for the state to control and ensure that retail outlets are selling safe products. It would also limit marijuana sales to adults only. The state of New Jersey would also be in a position to impose sales tax on marijuana sales.

According to media reports, the plan is for the referendum proposal to be approved by the legislature and set the ballot measure for voters in the 2020 general election. The two leaders are positive that the Senate, Assembly, and voters will approve the proposal.

In a tweet, Governor Phil Murphy said that he is disappointed that the Senate was unable to approve adult-use marijuana. He further noted that the failure would lead to the weekly arrest of about 600 people, the majority of whom will comprise members of the black community. He also said that he is hopeful that the New Jersey residents will approve the ballot measure.

The negotiations for legalizing recreational marijuana went on for months, after which Sweeney noted that legalization would have to be done through the ballot.

The resolution calling for the referendum does not offer a detailed description of the outlook of the proposed market for marijuana. The proposal only states that persons above the age of 21 would be allowed to buy and use weed from licensed retail outlets. And, the Cannabis Regulatory Commission of New Jersey would be responsible for regulating the program. The proposal also suggests that a sales tax would be imposed on marijuana sales.

In the ballot, the voters would be asked if they approve the constitutional amendment legalizing a controlled form of recreational cannabis. The draft question would also state that only people who are 21 years and above are allowed to use marijuana and that a state commission would oversee the cannabis program, as well as the market.

In a press release, the Assembly Speaker, Craig Coughlin, said that the legislation for putting the recreational marijuana question to the voter would be voted on by the Senate.

Smart Approaches to Marijuana, a prohibitionist group, celebrated after the legislature announced plans of giving up on the legalization. They said that they would invest in discouraging New Jersey residents from supporting the ballot legalization measure.

Experts are of the view that this failure to legalize marijuana legislatively may have come as a disappointment to the cannabis industry, including entities like Sproutly Canada Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FRA: 38G) and Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA), that had hoped that the people of New Jersey would soon enjoy the many benefits of marijuana, such as employment opportunities.

420 with CNW – Why Humidity Matters During Cannabis Cultivation

For centuries, wine merchants have been cognizant that sticking to every step of the winemaking process is crucial in ensuring the quality and value of the end product. So, they have to be cautious from cultivation and harvesting techniques to fermentation, aging, and packaging of the wine. This strict process of winemaking is now being adopted in the production of marijuana.

Professionals who have worked in the consumer-packaged-goods (CPG) sector for several decades have been interested in finding out how the quality and value of marijuana flower is affected by post-harvest storage and packaging. After conducting research, it was found that the most significant issues affecting quality and value are storage conditions and humidity levels, as well as the challenge of preventing mold.

Researching about what happens to marijuana once it is harvested is the Boveda research team, which previously studied humidity control in manufactured and CPG products. What prompted the research is the fact that there wasn’t much information on marijuana storage. The most surprising finding is the impact of evaporation on the quality and sale of weed.

The loss of moisture in marijuana affects the overall product.

Profitability is equated to the weight of the cannabis flower in the industry because the weightier the harvest, the higher the market value. The results of the research showed that if the storage environment’s optimal relative humidity (RH) drops by 5%, six-pounds are lost for every 1,000 pounds of cannabis buds. If the wholesale price of a gram of marijuana flower were $5, the loss in revenue would be $13,500. The established humidity levels by the ASTM International ranges from 55%-65%. ASTM is an independent industry standards organization.

For testing humidity levels, the Boveda research team purchased cannabis flowers from retail stores in multiple states, which showed that most of the strains sold today in the retail outlets are below the established relative humidity levels. This means that thousands of dollars in revenue is being lost despite the frequent changes in the wholesale price of the flower.

When we look at the history of marijuana flower, growers, processors, and packagers always insisted on storing the bud at a specific level of humidity ‘ceiling.’ This is because when the flower is stored at high moisture levels, it is prone to mold development or growth of microbes. That is why some people tend to dry the flower beyond the recommended levels.

Some people excessively dry the bud because they believe in the fallacy of rehydrating the cannabis flower; however, this method damages the trichomes, which in turn destroys the quality of the flower — trichomes house the plant’s resins, cannabinoids, and terpenes. Thus, when trichomes are damaged, the flower loses its aroma, taste, scent, and appeal, all of which are very important because it’s what customers look for when purchasing weed — preserving these elements when drying and packaging is therefore vital because rehydration cannot restore them.

Cannabis growers can use desiccants for absorbing moisture, mechanical equipment that alters relative humidity, or two-way moisture control sachets that are designed for packaging containers to control humidity.

If you are venturing into marijuana processing or cultivation, experts advise that you take the cue from established cannabis businesses like IONIC Brands Corp. (CSE: IONC) (OTC: IONKF) and Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) which have mastered the delicate balance between keeping humidity high enough so that product weight remains optimum while also keeping it low enough to prevent mold and other such problems.

420 with CNW – Dream Job? Earn 36k a Year to Smoke Marijuana Daily

A cannabis company has a job offer for potheads, cannabis products reviewer. The lucky person will be testing a wide range of marijuana products daily from the comfort of his/ her house. This lucky individual will then be paid $36,000 per year, which equates to $3,000 each month.

American Marijuana is among the most trusted online resource for medical marijuana, and the company is looking for a person who can give unbiased reviews and honest opinions about their wide range of products. The job is significant, and 100% legit.

However, American Marijuana is not employing someone just because they love smoking weed. According to their website, they put a disclaimer to indicate that people should not expect to be hired just because they can use pot. They further said that they are also looking to see if the individual has in-depth knowledge of cannabis, which can be applied to educate their readers. The chosen individual has to be residing in the United States or Canada where marijuana is legal. The candidate has to be fit, healthy, 18 years and above, and be comfortable in front of a camera.

Maybe having a degree in marijuana will be an added advantage.

The nitty-gritty of the job description is that they are looking for a person who can write reviews on a variety of marijuana products, which includes vapes, cannabis strains, edibles, and CBD oils. The person will also provide readers with candid and reliable information on the products.

At the beginning of every month, a box packaged with different brands and strains of marijuana will be shipped to the hired individual. The products include vapes, edibles, and CBD oils.

The lucky applicant is expected to record the unboxing and their experience on film. They are also required to test the products and write in a blog about their experience as well as everything else they will be doing with the products.

They are expected to give detailed write-ups of their experience during and after use. This is to educate readers and video viewers on the impact of the products.

According to the terms and conditions of the job advert, the $3,000 salary is dependent on the experience and capability of the applicant.

Marijuana is becoming more mainstream with each passing year, so it isn’t surprising that such job offers are beginning to popup. Cannabis industry analysts expect sector players like Willow Biosciences Corp. (CSE: WLLW) and Neutra Corp. (OTC: NTRR) to come up with novel jobs that pay handsomely.
