420 with CNW — Germany Is Importing More Medical Cannabis from Sources Closer to Home

During the first half of 2022, Germany imported a high amount of cannabis for scientific use and medical sales. Last year, the country cumulatively imported more than 20,500 kg of marijuana for scientific and medical purposes. This figure is significantly higher than its 2020 figure of 13,345 kg. In 2019, the country imported a little more than 8,000 kilograms of cannabis.

Data from the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices shows that through the first half of the year, imports of dried flower and extracts increased by more than 6% to reach 10,486 kilograms. This is in comparison to import figures from the first half of 2021, which totaled to 9,841 kilograms.

Since 2017, Canada has made up no less than 38% of all of medical cannabis imports into Germany. In 2021, licensed producers based in Canada shipped almost 6,500 kilograms of medical cannabis extracts and flower to Germany, which makes up roughly a third of the nation’s imports.

While data from the German government shows that Canada was still the nation’s top supplier last year, separate data shows that the role of Canada as Germany’s top cannabis supplier has diminished as competition to supply this prized market intensifies. Cannabis companies in Portugal, the Netherlands and Denmark also supply the German market, which has fostered healthy competition.

Experts believe that Canada’s waning role in Germany’s cannabis import may also arise from some Canadian companies shifting production to Europe. For instance, Aurora Cannabis has been supplying the German market mainly from Canada. However, the Alberta-based company transitioned its supply for products for the EU markets to the Nordic region after it received EU- Good Manufacturing Practice certification. Currently, most of Aurora’s cannabis in Germany is imported from Denmark.

It is important to note that experts believe that an undetermined quantity of the imported product is usually re-exported to other nations in the European Union. They argue that based on this, Germany’s import figure shouldn’t be used to measure the country’s market size.

Additionally, businesses seeking to venture into the import market in Germany are cautioned against buying into any predictions of rapid growth. This is after recent data from the German government showed that imports had reduced in the final quarter in three of the last five years.

Despite this, the market has grown these last five years, moving from less than two tons of imports in 2017 to more than 20 metric tons in imports into the country last year.

As the rules around marijuana evolve, another interesting angle of analysis to look into could be comparing the tonnage of cannabis being grown using various technologies, such as the indoor vertical gardens commercialized by the likes of Advanced Container Technologies Inc. (OTC: ACTX) vs. other cultivation methods.

420 with CNW — Innovative Packaging Could Give Cannabis Brands a Competitive Edge

Cannabis is one of the fastest-growing industries in America. Just two decades after California first legalized medical and recreational cannabis, the industry has created hundreds of thousands of jobs and generates billions of dollars in sales revenue every year. Experts believe the cannabis space will become even more profitable as more states launch legal cannabis markets, predicting it will be worth a whopping $197.74 billion in 2028.

Naturally, such mouth-watering profits have attracted numerous companies to the cannabis sector, with new organizations entering the space every year. Companies that want to stand out among the crowd and consistently attract customers will have to adopt strategies that allow them to gain a competitive edge. As the market gets increasingly crowded, innovative packaging could allow cannabis brands to remain competitive.

Ben Pechetti, cofounder of California-based Sticker Farmer, which produces cannabis packaging, says that packaging is the only way to separate yourself from the pack. Ideally, cannabis companies that want to appeal to prospective buyers via their packaging should invest in environmentally friendly materials that showcase their product in an attractive way and are in line with current design trends.

Given that cannabis companies have limited advertising options, innovative packaging can help catch customers’ eyes and drive sales. Elizabeth Corbett, vice president of sales at Miami-based packaging solutions company AR Global, says that in many cases, the packaging is the first thing that attracts buyers to a product. The way your products look on the shelves makes a major difference, she said, stating that packaging will become crucial in the nascent cannabis industry as it grows and evolves.

She mentioned states such as Colorado, California, Michigan, Oregon and Washington, where the eye of the consumer tends to be guided by dispensary layout as regions where packaging is even more important. If your packaging stands out and is memorable to consumers, she says, those consumers will be able to easily find and purchase your products in other dispensaries. On the other hand, she notes that packaging may not be as important in states where cannabis products are stored behind closed doors rather than on a shelf, until they are sold.

At the moment, Pechetti says, the most popular trend in cannabis packaging seems to be die-cut bags. Trends come and go, the die-cut bags being the latest trend after jars, mylar, sticker bags and directly printed bags had their day in the sun. Cannabis companies can maintain a competitive edge by ensuring their packaging evolves with market trends, something that Sticker Farmer has achieved by regularly consulting with industry professionals.

Design and sustainability will also be crucial to attracting customers. Design trends in cannabis packaging also evolve, and companies that leverage popular designs in their packaging will be able to attract more consumers. One 2019 study indicated that cannabis users increasingly prefer to buy ecofriendly products, while cannabis companies that use sustainable materials in their packaging will be more likely to maintain a competitive edge in the crowded marijuana market.

Given that each market has its own peculiarities, companies such as Prime Harvest Inc. that are operating within those jurisdictions, have to come up with packaging that will promote their brands while adhering to the specific regulations in force within that legal market.

420 with CNW — Missouri Court Dismisses Suit Against Cannabis Ballot Initiative

Cannabis reform activists in Missouri received a reprieve after a state court dismissed a lawsuit against a ballot initiative that seeks to legalize cannabis in Missouri and facilitate the expungement of nonviolent cannabis-related charges. Soon after a cannabis reform initiative by Legal Missouri 2022 received state certification, prohibitionists filed a lawsuit asking that the initiative be dismissed.

With the backing of Protect Our Kids PAC, Community Anti-Drugs Coalitions of America (CADCA) member Joy Sweeney filed a suit against the cannabis ballot initiative. Her suit claimed that the measure was not in line with single-subject rules for ballot measures as per Missouri’s constitution. Furthermore, the suit argued that there were irregularities in the ballot’s signature verifying process, suggesting that Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft may have intervened improperly.

This may be due to the fact that a state review of signatures found that activists had actually surpassed their signature requirements contrary to early reports that indicated they were struggling to collect enough signatures. Ultimately, the lawsuit was thrown out on procedural grounds, with the court concluding that the plaintiff did not have standing as she could not prove state residency. Although Sweeney claimed to be a resident of Jefferson City, the secretary of state’s office stated that it did not have enough evidence to prove her residency.

Judge Cotton Walker, who eventually dismissed the lawsuit, said that he didn’t agree with Sweeney’s arguments against the legalization measure, stating that its scope and language were in line with the single-subject rule and that Ashcroft’s office verified signatures and certified the measure as per state law. The final judgment stated that even if Sweeney could prove that she was a resident of Missouri, the court would still have dismissed her suit as its arguments did not stand.

Protect Our Kids CEO Luke Niforatos said that the anti-legalization organization plans on appealing the recent ruling. Niforatos said that the secretary of state and Walker “seem to be ignoring their own records,” which shows that Sweeney, the plaintiff, is a Jefferson City resident. He stated that the process was “rife with the appearance of corruption” from the beginning, stating that the secretary of state’s role in invalidating Sweeney’s lawsuit aroused suspicion.

Despite this, legalization activists are happy with the court’s decision to throw out the lawsuit. Legal Missouri 2022 campaign manager John Payne said that the ruling represented another step toward the enactment of a citizen-led measure to legalize, regulate and tax cannabis in Missouri.

If the measure is approved during the November ballot, Missouri residents can look forward to having licensed companies, such as Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC), that operate in other jurisdictions and serve clients there.

420 with CNW — White House Reveals President Biden Has No Plans to Act on Cannabis Reform Ahead of Midterms

Last week, the White House suggested that President Joe Biden would not be making any cannabis policy moves ahead of the midterms. When asked about whether Biden would discuss cannabis before the election, Karine Jean-Pierre, the administration’s press secretary, acknowledged that questions on the president’s plans for marijuana policy had come up on numerous occasions in press briefings.

Jean-Pierre reiterated that the president’s position on marijuana remained the same: leave the adult-use legalization of cannabis to the states, reschedule the plant, federally decriminalize it and expunge previous records. This is in addition to explaining that President Biden believed that there were too many individuals who were serving long sentences for nonviolent drug convictions, with a significant number of those being Black and brown.

Jean-Pierre also implied that Prez, Biden had no plans to champion reform prior to the midterm elections, despite the fact that cannabis is a strongly popular issue. This comes a fortnight after the press secretary stated that she did not have anything to speak about with regard to the president’s plans to fulfill his marijuana campaign pledges.

Biden first made public comments on issues involving cannabis in July. At the time, he hadn’t yet been asked about his intentions to act upon his campaign pledge to release individuals who had been incarcerated due to non-violent marijuana offenses. When he did finally comment, Biden replied to the question by highlighting that he didn’t believe individuals needed to be imprisoned over the use of marijuana, noting that his administration would work toward fulfilling his clemency promise. In addition to this, he vaguely hinted at a crime measure he believed could address said issue.

Since his tenure began, the president has received numerous letters from advocates, legislators, celebrities and individuals affected by marijuana criminalization, requesting him to do something about the individuals who are still incarcerated over marijuana.

Recently, several senators, including Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, penned a letter to the president expressing their frustration over the administration’s failure to address the harms of cannabis criminalization and help change course using executive clemency authority.

In their letter, the legislators highlighted that the Biden administration’s present stance was harming Americans, depriving them of their ability to use the herb for medical or other purposes and impeding research into the plant.

Despite the administration’s reluctance to make headway on the matter, congressional legislators are still working legislatively to end marijuana criminalization.

For instance, Senator. Booker, Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently filed a measure to federally legalize marijuana and promote social equity while also allowing entities such as Cannabis Strategic Ventures Inc. (OTC: NUGS) to operate in accordance with a uniform federal law rather than the current patchwork of laws at state level.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (NASDAQ: LEXX) Hypertension Treatment Program Stands Distinct

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) recently provided information to its stakeholders to help them conveniently research and understand different non-affiliated third-party sources and their methodologies for valuing biotech and pharmaceutical companies. The information includes a discussion of underlying logic-based evaluations that offer a realistic framework of expectations that investors can use in their analysis. “One of the logic-based evaluations considers the stage at which a company’s drug development program has reached. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (‘FDA’), there are five steps to the drug development process: discovery and development, preclinical research, clinical research, FDA drug review, and, finally, FDA post-market drug safety monitoring. However, not more than about 250 of 5,000-10,000 compounds tested during the discovery stage successfully transition to the third step. Against this backdrop, Lexaria stands out, having completed the first two steps with its DehydraTECH-CBD for hypertension treatment,” a recent article reads. “A guide prepared by Bay Bridge Bio notes that a company’s valuation increases as its drug development progresses from phase I through phase III… Considering the FDA’s recent confirmation that it agreed with Lexaria’s proposal to pursue a 505(b)(2) new drug application (‘NDA’) regulatory pathway, an abbreviated pathway, the company’s drug development program for hypertension therapeutics could wend way to a multi-billion-dollar valuation in due course.”

420 with CNW — King’s College London Plans Largest Study on Marijuana

Over the past two decades, research into the potential benefits and risks of cannabis has revealed that the plant has lots of potential as a treatment for conditions such as chronic pain, insomnia and anxiety disorders. Although cannabis research is still in its infancy, partly because federal prohibition prevented scientists from studying the plant for a long time, preliminary results have been so encouraging that dozens of American states as well as several countries around the world have legalized medical cannabis use.

Most experts still acknowledge that we need to research cannabis more extensively.

There is little data on how long-term medical cannabis treatment affects patients and except for THC and CBD, we barely know anything about the multitude of cannabinoids that are produced by cannabis.

An upcoming study by King’s College London could fill in some of the knowledge gaps that we currently have on cannabis. Titled “Cannabis & Me,” the £2.5 million ($2.9 million) study will be the largest-ever independent study into marijuana use. It will examine the biological and environmental factors that determine how cannabis affects different people.

Researchers will recruit 6,000 participants for the study, making it the biggest independent study into cannabis use so far. They will receive funding from the Medical Research Council, which is tasked with funding medical research in the United Kingdom.

Cannabis has been one of the most-used drugs on the planet for decades, with the World Health Organization estimating that around 147 million people around the globe use marijuana.

We need more research on how marijuana interacts with the brain so doctors can have all the relevant knowledge they need when prescribing medical marijuana to their patients, Cannabis & Me lead researcher Dr. Di Forti says. She notes that although many people consume cannabis daily for both recreational and medical reasons, medical cannabis prescriptions in the UK are still quite rare, mainly due to insufficient knowledge of marijuana’s effect on the brain.

This study is meant to provide physicians with the data and tools they need for them to be comfortable prescribing cannabis treatments to patients. While we already know that cannabis will affect people differently, we don’t have an intimate understanding of the underlying biological and environmental issues that determine how people react to cannabis.

Researchers will achieve this objective by studying the association between biological and genetic makeup with marijuana effects using a combination of DNA testing, cognitive and psychological analysis, and virtual reality.

They are currently recruiting participants between the ages of 18 and 45 from the London area who use cannabis or have used it less than three times or never at all.

The success of this and other ongoing or planned marijuana studies may over time result in the reform of the prohibitive cannabis laws, and companies such as Advanced Container Technologies Inc. (OTC: ACTX) may have an opportunity to facilitate individuals to grow their own medical-grade cannabis in vertical gardens.

CannabisNewsBreaks – CannabisNewsWire (CNW) to Shine the Spotlight on New Jersey’s First BYOC Event

CannabisNewsWire (“CNW”), a specialized communications platform for the cannabis sector and one of the 50+ brands within the InvestorBrandNetwork (“IBN”) today announced its engagement to serve as a media sponsor and official newswire for the 420 Expo. Presented by Wakit Grinders and hosted by cannabis icon Tommy Chong, the event is slated to take place at the New Jersey Convention & Exposition Center in Edison from Sept. 16-18, 2022.
