420 with CNW – Marijuana Businesses Plead to Access Federal Coronavirus Business Relief

A little over two months after the novel Coronavirus first appeared in Wuhan, China, it has spread to every continent except Antarctica and left over 10,000 people dead in its wake. The World Health Organization has declared the virus a pandemic, and it’s safe to say most of us haven’t experienced anything of this magnitude in our lifetimes. Fearing an outbreak of black plague proportions, most countries have been going into lockdowns to prevent the spread of the virus.

However, while social distancing and self-isolation have been found to be the best preventive measures, the long term effect it could have on the economy is catastrophic, especially if the lockdowns last a while. Businesses all over the country are already feeling the pinch, and to help alleviate this, the U.S. federal government has pledged to provide financial assistance to keep the economy going in these trying times.

This has left the cannabis industry between a rock and a hard place. Cannabis businesses are required to comply with Coronavirus related measures that will without a doubt affect their cash flows, but since cannabis is still illegal at the federal level, they will not have access to federal business relief. On Friday, a coalition of major cannabis industry associations sent a letter to the leaders of the House and Senate asking them to ensure cannabis businesses qualify for assistance.

“Our members follow strict regulations, create jobs, generate millions of dollars in tax revenue, including federal corporate tax revenue, and act as good corporate citizens, yet it appears as if these businesses will not be eligible for the same loans available to other businesses in this country at rush due to the global pandemic,” states the letter.

It was jointly sent by the National Cannabis Industry Association, National Cannabis Roundtable, Minority Cannabis Business Association, Global Alliance for Cannabis Commerce and Cannabis Trade Federation.

“The ineligibility of cannabis businesses for disaster assistance loans is especially inequitable given that these same cannabis businesses are required to comply with other Coronavirus related measures. We are not seeking special treatment for state-legal cannabis businesses. We only seek to have them treated on an equal level as all other job-generating, tax-paying companies in this country.”

Non-profit group NORML has suggested that the Families First Coronavirus Response Act could help extend some benefits to the legal marijuana industry which employs an estimated 240,000 people in the U.S. Signed into law this week, the act directs federal funds to state governments to help them deal with the pandemic.

After conferring with experts, NORML believes the act “provides the individual states with authority to decide for themselves which industries are legally eligible to receive benefits.”

The group has stated that it will “continue to work with our federal allies to call for an end for such discriminatory practices against the cannabis industry and those whose livelihoods depend upon it.”

Analysts agree that cannabis sector players like ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) are feeling the full impact of the economic slowdown resulting from the Coronavirus outbreak, so it is only fair that any relief available to other industries should also be accessible by the legal marijuana industry.

420 with CNW – Is Marijuana Use Advisable During Coronavirus Quarantine?

At the moment, millions of people all over Asia, the U.S. and Europe have been forced into self-isolation. In the few months that it has been active, the Coronavirus has wreaked havoc, with more than 300,000 people infected and at least 12,944 dead, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. The virus is very communicable, and the best preventive measures are self-isolation and social distancing.

However, that’s easier said than done. And for those who aren’t used to working from home or long periods of isolation, it’s going to be quite tough. As more and more U.S. states go into lockdown to curb the spread of the condition, there has been a spike in demand for marijuana as people stock up. There is plenty of evidence that marijuana can help reduce stress levels and anxiety, and it could be the perfect companion during a long period of isolation.

Researchers have found that high-CBD/high-THC strains reduce stress while high-CBD/low-THC strains help limit depression. If you’re planning on using marijuana to help cope with the anxiety and stress of self-isolation, here are a few things you should keep in mind.

For starters, if you’re smoking with other people, do not share joints, pipes, bongs, vape pens, or anything that will touch your lips. “Community has always been central to cannabis culture, but given the health crisis we find ourselves in, it is best we think of community a little differently,” says Erik Altieri, Executive Director of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws. He suggests moving any group sessions to FaceTime, Zoom or Skype.

Secondly, make sure you keep your smoking equipment clean. A study conducted by Moose Labs, a Los Angeles-based cannabis accessories company, found that cannabis equipment can collect a staggering amount of germs. According to co-founder Jay Rush, the average gas station toilet has about 900 bacteria per square inch, while the average bong has about 3,000 bacteria per square inch.

Altieri says to regularly clean and disinfect your equipment with high percentage isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to ensure they stay sterile.

Lastly, experts advise against smoking as it affects lung health. The Coronavirus attacks respiratory systems, and smoking puts you at greater risk. New York City Mayor, Bill de Blasio, recently stated that smokers and vapers are indeed more vulnerable to the Coronavirus. “If you are a smoker or a vaper, this is a very good time to stop that habit,” he said.

Instead, opt for edibles, oils, and tinctures as they don’t need to be combusted and inhaled. If you’re a little adventurous, there are plenty of marijuana recipes that are sure to keep you busy.

The entire cannabis industry, including companies like HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC) (OTCQB: HTPRF), is hoping that people adhere to all the recommendations provided by health experts so that everyone can come out of this crisis stronger.

420 with CNW – New York Legislators File Revised Cannabis Legalization Bill

Compared to other states, cannabis legalization efforts in New York have been slow. Both hemp and marijuana bills have been held up in various stages of the legalization process, and the emergence of the coronavirus has thrown a wrench into the works. For instance, Governor Cuomo had been planning on carrying out benchmarking visits to legal cannabis states, but he has stated that the tour has been delayed as the country deals with the coronavirus pandemic.

However, there is still a glimmer of hope after lawmakers recently rolled out a revised bill to legalize marijuana in the state. Filed last week on Thursday, the bill would allow individuals 21 and over to purchase cannabis from licensed retailers and grow up to six plants for personal use.

Cannabis sales would be subject to an 18% tax which will be used to cover the costs of implementation. The remainder will go towards three areas: 25% will go to a state lottery fund designated for the Department of Education, 25% will be used for a drug treatment and public education fund, and 50% will go to a community grants investment fund.

Governor Cuomo has in the past stated that the budget should be the vehicle to enact reform, and he has included legalization in his budget proposal for the second year in the row. And despite the current state of world affairs, he has insisted that pushing reform through the budget is the best way to move forward.

Melissa Moore, New York deputy state director of the Drug Policy Alliance states that in an ideal world, language from the revised bill would be inserted into the budget before it arrives at Governor Cuomo’s desk. “But that prospect seems dimmed in light of the current crisis, which has shifted legislative priorities,” Moore says.

“We have to make the political decisions. The budget is the time to make the political decisions,” stated Governor Cuomo, adding that “without the budget, the easiest thing for a legislative body to do is to do nothing.”

The measure hasn’t received overwhelming support, with some wondering whether the bill will be passed in its entirety. According to Senate Deputy Leader Mike Gianaris, issues like marijuana reform could be delayed as lawmakers ‘try to be incredibly effective this week, to only come in as necessary.’

“I think at this point it’s pretty unlikely that adult-use moves in the expedited budget the NY legislature is working on. Sounds like they’re focusing on essential items and policy provisions like this are falling out as they try to close the budget by Friday,” says Moore.

The Senate version of the bill is currently sitting at the Finance Committee and the Assembly version is in the Codes Committee.

It would be interesting to hear what sector players like Willow Biosciences Inc. (TSX: WLLW) (OTCQB: CANSF) have to say about this latest move to legalize marijuana legislatively in New York State.

420 with CNW – How to Avoid Germs While Consuming Marijuana

One thing the coronavirus pandemic has brought to light is that we could do so much better in terms of hygiene. As we all take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus, germs and any sort of dirt have become enemy number one, with people observing a level of hygiene never seen before. That mindset should also be applied when consuming cannabis.

Now, the medical benefits of cannabis have been discussed in great detail. You get a reprieve from anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain among a plethora of other conditions, but what many don’t know is that cannabis can get very germy. Moose Labs, a Los Angeles-based cannabis accessories company co-founded by brothers Dan and Jay Rush recently ran a study to quantify just how germy cannabis can get, and the results were quite interesting.

“We found that the average public toilet is cleaner than the average bong that we tested, and that’s horrifyingly disgusting. The average gas station toilet seat has about 900 bacteria per square inch, whereas the average bong has 3,000 bacteria per square inch,” says Jay Rush.

Given the times we’re in, maintaining a high level of hygiene ought to be a priority. Here are a few tips to avoid germs the next time you consume cannabis.

Keep your equipment clean. Pipes, bongs and dab rigs can accumulate an astonishing amount of bacteria, and cleaning them regularly is the best way to prevent this. The most common method is using rubbing alcohol (99% isopropyl) and coarse sea salt, but there are several other methods that work. On top of bacteria, unclean equipment significantly hinders the flavor of your cannabis.

Use smoking accessories, especially if you participate in a lot of communal smoking sessions. The MouthPeace created by Moose Labs, for instance, is a universal smoking accessory that fits into bowls, pipes, and vapes. It acts as a barrier between your mouth and any bacteria on the equipment, and it also filters out the amount of dirt and residue going into your lungs. With accessories like these, you’ll be able to take part in a communal session with little worry about germs.

Be proactive. Prevention is better than cure every time, so limiting your germs intake should be your first priority. Moose Labs offered 200 participants free hits from a dab rig, and they found that only 5% of the participants used the free alcohol wipes offered to cleanse the piece before smoking. Being mindful of how many people have taken a hit before you will show you the level of precaution you need to take, whether it’s wiping down the piece or whipping out a smoking accessory.

You could also lightly run a flame over the piece but Moose Labs found that it wasn’t as effective as rubbing alcohol. “We tested a lighter pass and T-shirt wipe and both of them reduced bacteria, but not to a sanitary level, more like from 1,800 to 1,100 bacteria per square inch.”

This information regarding how important hygiene should be among cannabis consumers is likely to be very helpful to industry players like Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQX: PLPRF) who would like to do everything they can to ensure that their customers are safe while using cannabis products.

CBDNewsBreaks – Pressure BioSciences Inc.’s (PBIO) UST Demonstration Laboratory Showcases Groundbreaking Technology

Pressure BioScience (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables and platform-technology solutions to the worldwide life sciences and other industries, recently announced the opening of its new Ultra Shear Technology(TM) (“UST”) Demonstration Laboratory (http://cnw.fm/zGUb0). An article discussing the company reads, “The main goal of the UST Demo Lab is to showcase the ability of the company’s revolutionary UST Platform to process cannabidiol (‘CBD’) oil into water-soluble nanoemulsions of superior quality. CBD nanoemulsions are expected to be more stable and offer higher bioavailability than the standard macro and microemulsions used in the vast majority of CBD products today. . . . The second objective is to invite potential purchasers of the company’s BaroShear nanoemulsification system to evaluate how their CBD and other product formulations work with the company’s revolutionary UST platform. The company expects to install and invoice the initial 12 BaroShear K45 systems in the fourth quarter of 2020.”

About Pressure BioSciences Inc.

Pressure BioSciences is a leader in the development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based solutions for the worldwide life-sciences industry. The company’s products are based on the unique properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure-cycling technology, or “PCT”) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented, enabling technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to safely and reproducibly control bio-molecular interactions (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). PBIO’s primary focus is in the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and quality control, soil and plant biology, forensics and counter-bioterror applications. Additionally, major new market opportunities have emerged in the use of its pressure-based technologies in the following areas: (1) the use of its recently acquired, patented technology from BaroFold Inc. (the “BaroFold” technology) to allow entry into the biopharma contract services sector, and (2) the use of its recently patented, scalable, high-efficiency, pressure-based Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) platform to (i) create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water) and (ii) prepare higher-quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room-temperature, stable, low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing nonthermal technologies.
