420 with CNW – Study Finds Business Innovation and Profits Go Up After Marijuana Legalization

New research shows that in the U.S., many states have been experimenting with different forms of marijuana legalization. The study found that businesses are thriving in states where marijuana is legal.

Researchers at the University of Iowa embarked on a study of the impact of legalization on the economy, and they analyzed 9,810 corporations between 1991 and 2017. The researchers found that after the legalization of medical marijuana, the states experienced a multitude of positive impacts.

The authors of the research said that firms whose headquarters are in a state where marijuana is legal were found to receive higher market valuations. The companies also earned higher and sometimes abnormal stock returns, employee productivity improved, and innovation also increased.

The study, which is yet to be published, shows that having marijuana laws helps unleash the untapped potential of employees as well as attract new talent for the companies.

The research authors also wrote that after marijuana was legalized, companies became more productive because they were able to hire more productive employees from other states.

The study also found that after medical marijuana laws were passed, companies earned a higher net income per employee, and this gain was consistent over the next two years.

The study reveals that the company value increased by 4.2%, which is equivalent to an average increase in the market value of corporations by $166 million, after the enactment of medical marijuana laws.

A positive shock to the human capital after legalization leads to an increase in profitability in firms based in states where marijuana is legal, according to the study authors.

The study found that the stock prices of companies located in jurisdictions where marijuana is legal fared better than those located in states where marijuana is illegal. Besides, firms in medical marijuana states experienced 4.56% increase in their stock value, whereas corporations in jurisdictions where there are no medical marijuana programs showed a loss of about 2% annually.

The research authors suggested that after marijuana laws are approved, companies innovate to ensure that they become more profitable in the wake of the new sector that is likely compete with them for employees and other resources, while their counterparts in regions where cannabis is illegal don’t have that added need to get creative.

The study concludes that not only do companies apply for more patents and receive citations on the said patents after marijuana legalization, but they are also more productive and efficient in generating innovation output from labor and research. There is also an increase in business startups and venture capital financing in jurisdictions that legalize cannabis.

The study also investigated the innovation and productivity of people working, living, and migrating to states where marijuana is legal. And, the authors found that the creativity of the scientists was enhanced after legalization. Compared to before the enactment of medical marijuana laws, the study found that more scientists moved to other states after the passage of medical marijuana legalization.

The study concluded that companies within states where marijuana is legal were able to attract more productive inventors and also saw an uptick in innovation among their employees as a result of the passage of enabling marijuana laws.

Industry watchers believe that not even the well-established marijuana companies like ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) would have imagined that legalizing marijuana would have an all-round beneficial effect on profitability and productivity in sectors outside the cannabis industry, but this study proves that this is true.

420 with CNW – Netflix Bows to Singapore Government Pressure to Block Marijuana Shows

The majority of us got to see the humanization of marijuana users through film and television, but Singapore is working to make sure that its citizens would not be able to access films with marijuana content. According to a new report issued by Netflix, the company has removed all movies that have marijuana contents as a move to comply with several demands made by the government of Singapore. This included three-pieces of marijuana-themed shows known as Cooking on High, The Legend of 420, and Disjointed.

They also removed Martin Scorsese’s films that had overt drug use and partying themes such as The Last Temptation of Christ and a Brazilian comedy, The Last Hangover. Netflix further disclosed that since 2015, it has received a total of nine take-down requests internationally.

Axios reported first on the issue of censorship this Friday, and since Netflix’s aim is to grow internationally, the company’s intention is to be transparent in the way it handles censorship efforts in the areas they are looking to invest. The company promised that every year, it will be disclosing all the censorship requests. Netflix further said that the content removed would only apply to the country that made the request, and other countries can still access the content.

Singapore is one of the countries known to have the most stringent drug control laws across the globe. Individuals found in possession of even small amounts of drugs are severely punished with a maximum of 10 years in prison or fine of $20,000 or both. Individuals found trafficking drugs are punished through execution.

The national Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said countries all over the world are inclining towards the global trends of decriminalization and legalization of marijuana and other drugs, but the government of Singapore isn’t interested in adopting the trends. The bureau further said that marijuana consumption exacts a high cost on society in countries that have approved legalization; therefore, Singapore has harsh laws on use, possession, trafficking, and importation or exportation of unlawful drugs such as marijuana and marijuana products.

The stringent drug policies coincide with a reduction in rates of drug use and substance use disorder, the officials argued.

According to the CNB estimates, the number of drug abusers arrested last year was about 2000 while those detained in the early 1990s was 6,000, which shows the number has reduced by two-thirds since the 1990s. However, although the agency claims that marijuana consumption causes harm to society, the available research on the effects of medical marijuana legalization in the U.S. shows that it does not lead to increased consumption among young adults nor does it have any impact on people participating in more dangerous activities such as smoking tobacco or using alcohol.

Malaysia borders Singapore to the North and in an attempt to treat substance use disorder as a public health issue, Malaysia is considering decriminalizing small amounts of cannabis.

Industry analysts believe that cannabis companies, such as Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQX: PLPRF), may be dismayed that Singapore hasn’t yet appreciated the current research on marijuana and how it can be beneficial.

420 with CNW – Colorado Unveils Plan to Ease Banking Access for Marijuana Industry

On Monday, Colorado Governor Jared Polis unveiled a plan through which he seeks to increase the number of financial institutions conducting business with the legal marijuana industry.

Rep. Ed Perlmutter joined Polis at the press conference for announcing the new legislation “Roadmap to Marijuana Banking and Financial Services.” The Assembly-led legislation was sponsored by Perlmutter, and the legislation’s aim is to protect financial institutions from being punished for transacting with the legal marijuana businesses within Colorado.

Polis said that federal prohibitions on marijuana have forced banks to rejects opening accounts for marijuana businesses, blocking them from accessing financial services. The lack of banking opportunities and other financial services in the states is a significant economic threat. It also serves as a public safety threat because many marijuana businesses are operating on a cash basis, making them vulnerable to attacks by thieves and other criminals.

Polis further said businesses not only in Colorado but the whole of the U.S. need certainty regarding federal rules, and it is their responsibility to do what they can with the tools they have to fix it.

According to the press release, the Roadmap to Marijuana Banking and Financial Services presented by Polis features seven main areas of focus. These include providing clear regulatory guidance, encouraging new and emerging technologies in the financial services sector, minimizing barriers, and upholding consumer protection rights as well as providing state support for commercial businesses looking to explore marijuana banking.

The bill is accompanied by another document which calls for a 20% increase in the number of banks transacting with marijuana companies by June 30. This is one of the goals the state is tracking through an online tool.

For each provision in the plan, the documents describe its strategy, policy action, and status of those objectives.

One of the goals of the plan is to provide financial institutions doing businesses with legal marijuana businesses with guidance and protection.

Another objective of the plan is for the State Attorney General to provide legal guidance under the Money Transmission Action and the Trust Companies Act on service provision as well as guiding the consumers and the cannabis industry. Currently, Colorado is conducting an assessment of the specific issues that need to be addressed, and officials are hopeful that by the spring of 2020, they would have gotten the guidance.

The Executive Director of the Department of Regulatory Agencies Patty Salazar said that Colorado financial institutions are afflicted by uncertainty and apprehension to provide financial services to state-legal marijuana businesses due to lack of federal clarity. Through the roadmap, banks and credit unions can explore whether or not to offer financial services to the marijuana industry.

During the press conference, Perlmutter, who sponsored the SAFE Banking Act, said that Colorado had been a leader of marijuana banking issues from the start, and with the roadmap presented by the governor, it remains a leader.

Perlmutter further said that he is optimistic about the legislation being approved by the Senate Banking Committee and the full chamber. Mike Crapo (R-ID), the Banking Committee Chair, highlighted some of the amendments he wanted to make as well as those suggested by industry stakeholders.

Industry watchers think that the entire industry, including companies like Willow Biosciences Inc. (TSX: WLLW) (OTCQB: CANSF) and Dama Financial are optimistic that with or without federal support, states where marijuana is legal will eventually work out a viable solution to the banking bottleneck faced by the industry.

420 with CNW – Feds Worried International Cannabis Rescheduling Could Force Their Hand

An upcoming vote seeking to loosen international restrictions on cannabis has the U.S. federal government worried as it could reinforce marijuana legalization efforts. Media outlets obtained a government document that was released last year by the United Nations’ (UN) World Health Organization (WHO). The report was discussing a series of marijuana policy recommendations in the U.S. The policies discussed include the removal of marijuana from Schedule 1 of controlled substances under an international treaty as well as rescheduling some cannabinoids.

Last year, the UN’s Commission on Narcotic Drugs was expected to vote on WHO’s reclassification recommendations and decide if they should move forward with them. The UN’s Commission on Narcotic Drugs comprises of 53 member nations. The vote, which may take place early next month, was delayed to give members additional time to consider the proposal.

Although the document recognizes that removing marijuana from Schedule IV of the 1962 convention could be beneficial to the advancement of information through research about the therapeutic potential and any associated harms caused by marijuana, it also expresses its fear about unintentional consequences such as giving people hope that the action would act as a gateway to legalization.

The document further states that there is a likelihood that the civil society, social media, and the general public would perceive the removal of marijuana from Schedule IV as the initial step towards the national legalization of weed.

As per the1961 international treaty, Schedule IV is the most stringent controlled category, while in the U.S., marijuana falls under Schedule 1, the country’s most strict controlled category.

The U.S. is still worried about the topics proposed by the UN Commission despite the potential benefits discussed in its rescheduling recommendation.

A U.S. Air force veteran and an advocate of marijuana legalization Michael Krawitz said that the government’s explanation about the risks to general public perception is frustrating because all the recommendations presented by WHO would not allow member countries to legalize marijuana. Krawitz has spent several years working to change international drug pacts.

Krawitz further said that even if all the recommendations presented were approved, those recommendations would not take them a step closer to legalization. He noted that the changes are about correcting an issue with international drug treaties by removing some of the misleading information that was recorded about marijuana, not legalization.

Krawitz further said that the approval of these recommendations would help patients as well as ease the government workload because less documentation would need to be filled; thus, the bureaucratic burden of dealing with marijuana would be lessened. It would also authorize more research to be carried out and the provision of insurance coverage for medical marijuana products.

The authenticity of the government document isn’t easy to verify as it was not obtained from a government source, and the State Department did not issue a response to these reports. Experts think that cannabis companies like MCTC Holdings Inc. (OTC: MCTC) will be shaking their heads in wonder at how the federal government is always afraid of its own shadow whenever matters connected to pot arise!
