420 with CNW — New Bipartisan Bill to Seal Federal Cannabis Records Automatically

Bipartisan congressional legislators have reintroduced a measure mandating the automatic sealing of records for nonviolent federal cannabis convictions. The bill would also offer relief to individuals who’d been arrested for other offenses that didn’t end in conviction.

Representatives Nancy Mace and Lisa Blunt Rochester filed the Clean Slate Act last week. The previous version of the bill was advanced through the House Judiciary Committee in 2022 but was never voted on.

In a press release, Blunt Rochester stated that the Clean Slate Act was one of her top priorities, highlighting the importance of giving those who had paid their debt to society and served their time a second chance and a clean slate. Blunt Rochester added that she looked forward to working with her colleagues across the aisle and Congress to approve the bill and advance it to the president’s desk.

The measure would also set up a new process for individuals to petition the courts to seal records for nonviolent offenses that weren’t eligible for automatic sealing. If their initial request was denied, individuals could still petition for relief once a two-year wait period was over. Additionally, district courts will be allowed to nominate a public defender to help petitioners process their record sealing requests.

Mace stated that this measure was an important step in the right direction because it focused on rehabilitation and second chances.

Last year, President Joseph Biden issued a mass pardon for individuals who had committed federal marijuana possession offenses. However, this proclamation is limited, as presidential pardons don’t help seal conviction records.

The Mace measure is supported by various institutions, including R Street, the American Conservative Union, LinkedIn, Brennan Center for Justice, Justice Action Network (JAN), Center for American Progress, JPMorgan Chase, Code for America and Clean Slate Initiative.

Nan Gibson, the executive director of the JPMorgan Chase Policy Center, stated that the bill would establish a process for clearing nonviolent federal records and streamline it via automation, helping individuals pursue stable career opportunities. Gibson then noted that this bill would allow companies such as JPMorgan Chase to continue connecting people to meaningful career pathways, strengthening the economy and uplifting communities.

The Clean Slate Initiative CEO Sheena Meade stated that Congress had the power to unlock opportunities for millions of individuals in the country by approving the Clean Slate Act.

This bill is the latest in a string of cannabis reform measures that have been introduced in Congress.

While many reforms have been put before Congress over the past years, not many have made their way through the legislative chambers and reached the president’s desk for enactment. This slow pace at which marijuana policy is reformed could soon accelerate if many companies such as IGC Pharma Inc. (NYSE American: IGC) are successful in seeing cannabis-based medicines through the clinical development process resulting in FDA approval. Such drugs could cause people to reconsider their perceptions about marijuana and a lot more pressure for reform could be exerted on federal lawmakers.

420 with CNW — Washington Governor Enacts Bill Authorizing Cannabis Interstate Commerce

Washington State’s governor has signed legislation allowing interstate marijuana trade in anticipation of a change in federal law. Governor Jay Inslee recently signed the bill introduced by Senator Ann Rivers into law after it passed the legislature last month.

Prior to approving the legislation, Inslee pushed Congress to update the country’s cannabis laws, arguing that legalization at the federal level would support the competitiveness of the highly regulated marijuana market while also upholding health and public safety requirements.

Once a federal law is changed or a federal Justice Department decision authorizing cannabis trading across state lines is passed, the legislation will permit the state to engage in interstate cannabis trade.

Now that this bill has been approved, all three states on the western coastline are ready to allow cannabis export and import. Oregon passed its bill in 2019 while California followed suit last year.

The Washington legislation stipulates that if one of the two federal conditions is satisfied, state authorities must provide written notice of the policy change and any state-level statutory amendments necessary to allow the delivery, sale and reception of marijuana from businesses out of the state. However, under California law, implementation could also begin without taking into account any conditions at the federal level.

Regulators in Washington will also be required to develop rules that will guide marijuana exports and imports. However, the governor will have sole authority to sign agreements with other states. Goods imported from out-of-state businesses would have to abide by Washington regulations, including labeling and packaging guidelines.

Meanwhile, a legislator from Maine has introduced a bill to permit marijuana exports and imports between states where it is legal. A comparable interstate plan was submitted by New Jersey’s senate president last year, but it hasn’t yet been approved.

Additionally, last year, a federal court ruled that the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause made Maine’s law prohibiting nonresidents from running medicinal cannabis businesses in the state unlawful. Some commentators contend that the same logic used to support the residency restrictions also applies to state-level restrictions on marijuana import and export, rendering them invalid. There is also a belief that prohibiting medicinal cannabis imports and exports in states that have legalized it would be seen as both unconstitutional and protectionist.

marijuana company from Oregon sued in a national court in November, claiming that the state’s current prohibition on interstate marijuana imports and exports is unconstitutional.

If cannabis interstate commerce becomes a reality around the country, states with favorable cultivation conditions could have a competitive edge and perhaps opt to use equipment such the microgardens sold by Advanced Container Technologies Inc. (OTC: ACTX) to produce more cost effectively and sell to states where climate and other conditions make it harder for marijuana to be grown.

420 with CNW — Study Shows Marijuana Helps Cancer Patients Manage Pain

According to a recent Canadian study, medical marijuana may be able to lessen cancer patients’ dependence on other medications by easing their discomfort. The study, published in “BMF Palliative and Supportive Care,” involved the examination of 358 cancer patients and concluded that cannabis could be safely combined with other medications to help in pain management.

Every three months, the researchers checked on the patients to see how much pain they were in and how many medications they were taking. Patients reported substantially less pain after using the cannabis-based medications and that their pain had less of an impact on their daily lives.

According to the study, one-third of cancer patients — about 38% — experience medium-to-high-level pain even after taking pain medications such as opioids. In particular, 66% of patients with metastatic, advanced or terminal illnesses, as well as 55% of patients receiving anticancer treatment, experience pain.

Additionally, the majority of patients report feeling nauseous, drowsy, constipated and — more seriously — restrained breathing. For these reasons, patients are increasingly asking doctors, including up to 61.5% of general practitioners, to consider medical marijuana for the treatment of pain and other symptoms related to cancer.

In the study, 38% of the patients used THC-CBD-balanced medications, 17% used CBD-dominant medicines, and nearly a quarter of the patients used THC-dominant products. Those who consumed THC-CBD-balanced products experienced less pain compared to patients who only used THC- or CBD-dominant products.

However, the researchers noted that the results need to be confirmed by more thorough studies that compare the effects of cannabis-based medications with those of a placebo in a control group.

There is a lot of interest in cannabis’ ability to relieve pain, particularly in light of the opioid epidemic that has sparked concerns about the long-term dangers of opiate addiction. In support of this, a large body of research has demonstrated a correlation between decreased opioid prescribing and overdose fatalities and legalized marijuana use. A study by the University of Colorado published last month indicated that regular marijuana usage is linked to better cognition and less pain in chemotherapy and cancer patients. Researchers discovered that patients who consumed products with higher CBD levels experienced less pain than those who used high-THC goods.

According to research conducted by the American Medical Association (AMA) and released earlier this year, people with chronic pain who used medical cannabis for more than a month had their need for opioids significantly reduced. Late last year, the AMA also published studies showing a link between legalized cannabis in some states and reduced opioid prescriptions for some cancer patients.

This study highlighting the pain-fighting potential of marijuana suggests that companies that  are working to develop THC-based medications for chronic pain, such as IGC Pharma Inc. (NYSE American: IGC), are likely to be successful in their R&D efforts.

420 with CNW — Oregon Secretary of State Resigns Due to Cannabis Consultancy Job

Last week, Shemia Fagan resigned as Oregon Secretary of State after receiving significant criticism for taking up a job as a consultant to a cannabis company while her office was concluding an audit of the state’s Liquor and Cannabis Commission. During her announcement, Fagan apologized for working for the business, pointing out that while she had planned to finish her term, it had been an honor to serve the people of Oregon.

She also highlighted that ethics guidelines permitted outside employment, noting that consulting for La Mota wasn’t a conflict of interest as any actions taken on account of the audit would be by the cannabis commission, legislature or governor. Fagan added that any changes in regulation would have also affected many businesses, not just her client. However, she continued, she had exercised poor judgment by working with a business regulated by an entity under audit by her division.

The consulting job is said to have paid her $10,000 a month, with added bonuses for every license she assisted the affiliate of La Mota acquire outside Oregon.

The salary of the secretary of state stands at $77,000 per annum, a low sum, particularly for the office’s tasks, which include auditing state agencies and overseeing elections. Results of the audit, which were released the week before, demanded that the state’s cannabis regulatory agency make changes to some of the rules for cannabis businesses.

Fagan isn’t the first to resign or leave the secretary of state post in Oregon. In fact, two recent secretaries have vacated their four-year term — one because of a death in office and one because the governor resigned and was replaced by the secretary of state. A successor to Fagan will be appointed by Governor Tina Kotek, who stated that she supported Fagan’s decision to resign from her elected office.

Following Fagan’s resignation announcement, Democratic leaders in the legislature released a joint statement declaring that Fagan needed to go. Those leaders included Senate Majority Leader Kate Lieber, Senate President Rob Wagner, House Speaker Dan Rayfield and House Majority Leader Julie Fahey. The statement noted that Fagan’s serious lapses of judgment had destroyed trust with the residents of Oregon, including lawmakers who depended on the work of the Audits Division for important information on public policy. They observed that her resignation would allow the state to rebuild trust and move forward.

Prior to being elected to the position in 2020, Fagan served as a Democratic member of the Oregon Senate.

As the marijuana industry continues its growth trajectory and blips such as this one are avoided, more cultivators will join the space to meet the growing demand for marijuana. By extension, more cultivation equipment, such as the microgardens commercialized by enterprises such as Advanced Container Technologies Inc. (OTC: ACTX), will be sold and revenues earned.
