420 with CNW — Researchers Find Marijuana May Be Used to Alleviate Pain Caused by Sickle Cell

A clinical trial that was conducted by researchers from the University of California-Irvine in collaboration with UC San Francisco has found that marijuana has the potential to be used as a treatment for chronic pain in patients suffering from sickle cell disease. The trials discoveries were reported in JAMA Network Open.

Prof. Kalpna Gupta, who is a member of the Irvine institution’s Center for the Study of Cannabis as well as being an Irvine researcher, states that the trial led them to the discovery that vaporized marijuana is generally safe, suggesting that patients suffering from sickle cell anemia may alleviate their pain using marijuana, which may also be used to address the opioid crisis.

Gupta, who has specialized in medicine, adds that larger studies that have more participants may present researchers with a better view of how marijuana can help individuals suffering from chronic pain.

Opioids are the principal drugs prescribed to manage acute and chronic pain caused by sickle cell disease. However, the increase in deaths linked to opioids has prompted clinicians to prescribe them less, which leaves patients with chronic pain with fewer options.

The placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized trial conducted by the pair of institutions was the first to make use of gold-standard techniques to evaluate the potential of marijuana in pain relief for people suffering from sickle cell disease. The marijuana utilized in the trial contained equal parts of CBD and THC and was acquired from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which is under the NIH.

Gupta stated that facing so much pain caused many individuals to turn to marijuana, adding that this was the main reason why people sought the herb from dispensaries. She explained that while researchers weren’t sure whether all forms of marijuana products would have the same effect on chronic pain, they were certain that vaporized marijuana was safer in comparison with other forms, as small amounts reach the body’s circulation.

For the trial, 23 patients who each suffer from pain related to sickle-cell disease were recruited. During the two 5-day inpatient sessions, which were separated by a 4-week period, each patient inhaled a vaporized placebo or vaporized marijuana.

The researchers then evaluated the pain level of each participant throughout the treatment period, which led to the discovery that marijuana’s efficaciousness grew over time. The participants also revealed that their pain didn’t affect their moods or activities such as sleeping and walking.

In addition to this, the researchers note that the level of pain was lower in patients who had inhaled vaporized marijuana in comparison with those who had received the placebo.

With companies such as RYAH Group Inc. (CSE: RYAH) making smart inhalers that allow patients to be sure about the amount of medical marijuana they are inhaling for pain, it may just be a matter of time before cannabis medicine is as widely accepted as pharmaceuticals.

420 with CNW — California Earmarks $100M to Support Licensed Cannabis Firms During Pandemic

For many states with legal cannabis markets, one of the objectives of legalizing the controversial drug was to cripple the illicit cannabis market by taking away its clientele. While that sounds like a great idea in theory, most of these states have been unable to do any real damage to the illegal market so far. Not only do black market sellers tend to price their cannabis cheaply, but they don’t have to jump through a wide variety of hoops to start selling, and this ensures the black market has an unending supply of affordable cannabis.

California, for instance, legalized marijuana back in 2016, but a mere four years later, the state’s illicit cannabis market has more than three times the number of registered cannabis sellers. Consequently, the state has earmarked $100 million towards supporting its struggling cannabis industry amid the coronavirus and subsequent financial crisis. State Governor Gavin Newsom proposed a measure that would see these funds used to help businesses in the cannabis space turn their provisional licenses into permanent licenses, and it was recently approved by the legislature.

According to Newsom’s office, around 82% of licensed businesses hold provisional licenses, with most cannabis businesses being unable to convert those licenses to permanent ones due to the high costs involved. The state requires permanent license holders to run their businesses in a way that has minimal to zero negative environmental impact, and this usually leads to higher annual operational costs. As many of the registered operators are equity applicants, small businesses and legacy operators, says Newsom’s senior cannabis advisor Nicole Elliot, these costs are often more than they can handle, preventing them from obtaining permanent licenses.

This one-time $100 million grant will be used to help cities in the state employ professionals and staff to assist with the process of turning provisional licenses into permanent ones as well as to aid in business operations. Los Angeles alone will receive $22 million, with the rest of the funds going to cities such as Oakland, San Francisco, Adelanto, Commerce and Desert Hot Springs. Matt Hawkins, managing partner at Entourage Effect Capital and the board chair at Harborside, says the grant will help ease the financial burden on legal companies and allow regulators to process the backlog of licenses much faster.

Newsom has also thrown his weight behind a measure that would extend the Jan. 6, 2022, deadline to apply for provisional licenses by six months. However, it wasn’t included in the most recent state budget bill, and lawmakers are still discussing it.

It is heartwarming to sector players such as XPhyto Therapeutics Corp. (CSE: XPHY) (OTCQB: XPHYF) (FSE: 4XT) to learn that some jurisdictions are taking steps to support the cannabis industry during the pandemic. This is a far cry from the stance of the federal government, which doesn’t recognize state-level cannabis firms as legitimate business concerns.

420 with CNW — Marijuana Could Fuel Novel Food Culture

For decades, plants within the Cannabis Sativa family have been associated with marijuana and its infamous “high.” Even as the state-legal cannabis industry becomes larger and more lucrative, THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), the compound responsible for marijuana’s intoxication, has taken center stage. However, cannabis and hemp are extremely versatile and have a wide variety of applications ranging from textiles and construction to health and wellness.

Cannabis is undoubtedly one of the fastest-growing industries in the country, with Ben Larson, CEO of Oakland, California-based firm Vertosa calling it the most exciting growth opportunity since the advent of the internet. Vertosa is a technology company that specializes in deriving ingredients from cannabis for food and beverage manufacturers. During The Future of Food @ SXFW event, which was held virtually from March 18–21, Larson said that cannabis and hemp may be at the heart of a novel food culture in the future.

With his company focusing on beverages infused with cannabis and hemp extracts, Larson pointed out that with all the money being invested into cannabis beverages, the space is looking at a lucrative future. With its versatility, cannabis isn’t just confined to beverages, he says, stating that its applications in health and wellness, athletics and even pet care present an extremely attractive opportunity for growth.

Mario Rodriguez, the owner of New York-based Bootleg Avocado LLC agrees. Rodriguez moderated the SXSW session titled “Cannabis: The Catalyst for New Food Culture,” and he believes that the time has come for the world to dissociate cannabis from the stigma of being an illicit drug and uncover its plethora of food and beverage applications.

In fact, several companies have already jumped onto the bandwagon, producing cannabis beverages that prioritize wellness over intoxication. For instance, Innoviom, which is based in Stamford, Connecticut, has developed a line of beverages called Tranquini Wowie that contains 20 mg of hemp as well as adaptogens such as lavender, chamomile and lemon balm. Designed to offer quick relief from stress and anxiety, a single 12-oz can of the relaxation beverage contains 20 calories. According to CEO Ahmed ElAzizi, Tranquini Wowie can take you from “hectic to hanging loose” without the drowsiness associated with cannabis. In Venice, California, Cann & Bolt Co. has created a nonalcoholic beverage infused with THC and CBD. It leaves users feeling invigorated and gives them a slight buzz thanks to the THC.

Over in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Verde Juice Co. has a line of high-pressure and cold-pressed functional teas and juice beverages that are made using whole hemp leaf juice. Each 10-oz bottle has 12 mg of CBD, less than 1 mg of THC and 35 calories with no added sugar. With companies conducting more research into cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, they are bound to come up with different combinations that will create new dynamic experiences.

Scottsdale, Arizona-based The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER) also has a line of CBD-infused products, including drinks, being marketed across the country. This goes to show just how fast the cannabis food culture is growing, with much more to come.

420 with CNW — Why Each Strain of Marijuana Is Actually a Hybrid

You’ve probably heard of people referring to marijuana as either indica or sativa, but do you know what the terms actually mean? Contrary to popular opinion, sativa and indica are botany terms that describe the observable physical traits of a marijuana plant and not the effects they induce.

If you were to trace any strain of marijuana back to its original genetics, you’d end up with landrace strains, which are basically marijuana strains whose genetics stabilized and evolved in their natural environments in different parts of the world. Examples of such strains include Thailand’s Chocolate Thai, Mexico’s Acapulco Gold and South Africa’s Durban Poison.

Botanists utilized the terms ruderalis, sativa and indica to classify strains that exhibited different physical characteristics. For instance, Cannabis ruderalis was classified by D.E. Janischewsky, a Russian botanist in the early 1920s, while Cannabis sativa was coined by Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist who was studying European plants in the early 1750s. On the other hand, Cannabis indica was classified by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck who had been studying Indian strains in the mid-1780s.

While ruderalis plants have thick, big leaves and more CBD than do indica and sativa, indica has dense flowers and is usually bushy and wide while sativas are lanky and tall with skinny leaves. In the present day, indica describes strains that you can use to fall asleep, slow down or relax while sativas have been labeled as strains that offer you the mental high needed for focus and creativity.

In dispensaries, the term hybrid is meant to show you strains that possess effects of both sativa and indica. However, a hybrid actually means a strain bred from various strain varieties and one that has inherited favorable characteristics. This means that while products are still labelled as either hybrids, indicas or sativas, the truth is that every single marijuana product smoked today is a hybrid.

Insane OG, Green Thumb Farmz and Dr. Greenthumbs lead cultivator Kenji Fujishima explains this by pointing to Runtz, a popular strain, which is a cross of Gelatto#33 and Zkittlez; both of those are crosses of Thin Mint GSC x Sunset Sherbert and Grapefruit and Grape Ape respectively. Fujishima notes that all hybrids are simply hybrids from other hybrids, despite the marketing behind indica and sativa strains.

While these differences are well known to brands and growers, the sativa/indica dichotomy may be a bit harder for consumers to let go of, with a 2019 report by Weedmaps finding that brands that have tried to stop using the aforementioned terms have confused their customers, who prefer the simple classification that the sativa and indica provide.

Other companies such as Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF) (FSE: 4XM) have an extensive library of high-end genetics that they leverage to come up with premium products that are cementing their position in the market.

CannabisNewsBreaks – BevCanna Enterprises Inc.’s (CSE: BEV) (OTCQB: BVNNF) (FSE:7BC) TRACE Meets New Demographic Through Strategic Agreement

BevCanna Enterprises (CSE: BEV) (OTCQB: BVNNF) (FSE: 7BC), a diversified health and wellness beverage and natural products company, recently announced expanded distribution of its TRACE products into the United States through a new agreement with leading wholesaler Benefit Brand Management. BevCanna creates, manufactures and globally distributes iconic beverages that resonate with health-conscious consumers. Its TRACE line of beverages and nutraceuticals are sourced from deep within the Rocky Mountains of interior British Columbia and developed based on a proprietary plant-based formula rich in iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium. The products are designed to appeal to consumers seeking mineral supplementation as a result of deficiencies in the modern food supply. A recent article discussing the expansion quotes BevCanna President Melise Panetta. “With demand for wellness-focused beverages rapidly increasing among U.S. consumers, this is the ideal time to introduce the TRACE brand to a whole new demographic,” Panetta said. “We’re very excited to work with Benefit on launching the brand, capitalizing on their extensive network and detailed knowledge of the natural products retail landscape in the U.S.”
