420 with CNW – Oregon Report Shows Recreational Weed Sales Are Highest Along Idaho Border

The Oregon Office of Economic Analysis released a report which showed that marijuana sales are most substantial along the Oregon border with Idaho. It is noteworthy that recreational marijuana is illegal in the state of Idaho, so residents who wish to consume it have to buy it from Oregon.

According to the report which was issued on Friday, adult marijuana sales along the border of Oregon and Idaho are 420% the statewide average, wrote Josh Lehner of the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis. It is ironical that the percentage is 420 since that also happens to be the colloquial term for weed!

Along the Borders of Idaho and Washington, Lehner also found that marijuana sales were high. Recreational marijuana is legal in Washington.

Lehner further wrote that marijuana sales along the cities neighboring Idaho were stronger than he had anticipated. Recreational marijuana is illegal in the state of Idaho; however, after using a tax model to account for incomes, number of retailers, and tax rates, they found that there was a vast border effect.

A border effect occurs when two neighboring states have different rules, which prompt the residents of one jurisdiction to travel to the other in order to experience and take advantage of the different regulations in the other state. For instance, residents of Idaho traveling to Oregon to consume recreational marijuana. Another example is where the residents of Southwest Washington travel to Oregon to buy products on which no sales tax is levied.

In the U.S., Idaho is one of the few states without a law regulating medical marijuana, said the Marijuana Policy Project. Marijuana advocates working with the Idaho Cannabis Coalition and supporters, are collecting signatures to legalize medical marijuana within the state.  This will make it possible for the residents of Idaho to legalize medical marijuana through a ballot initiative in November.

Lerner also forecasted that if the border effects persist in the next ten years, Oregon is going to experience rapid growth in marijuana sales.

Lehner further wrote that his office predicts that during the next ten years, the state’s marijuana sales are going to increase as incomes increase, the population within the state also increases, and as the stigma surrounding marijuana dies and the consumption rate rises.

The petition for gathering signatures was approved in August of 2019, and the advocates and supporters must collect more than 55,000 signatures within the state of Idaho to qualify for the 2020 ballot. April 30, 2020, is the deadline for signature collection.

After filing the petition, the leader of the campaign, Bill Esbensen, said that people should not suffer because they live in the wrong state. He also noted that the medical marijuana initiative is to bring Idaho up to par with other states where medical marijuana is legal such as Oklahoma, Arkansas and West Virginia. This will enable patients to treat their medical conditions with a non-toxic plant.

Analysts believe that weed companies like SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) may be thinking that Oregon marijuana companies are getting some respite from the glut as a result of the border effect and this buys them some more time to build a bigger customer base within the state.

420 with CNW – CMC Urges UK Government to Rethink Medical Marijuana Policy

On Wednesday, the Centre for Medicinal Cannabis (CMC) requested the United Kingdom government to perform an urgent review of the medical marijuana policy regarding marijuana accessibility.

The request came after the CMC published the findings of a UK survey. The poll investigated the general public consumption frequency of street-available marijuana in England, Wales, and Scotland.

The YouGov survey had 10,602 respondents, and the study findings were published in a new report referred to as ‘Left Behind-The Scale of Illegal Cannabis Use for Medicinal Intent’. According to the survey findings, more than 1.4 million people (2.8% of the adults) are treating chronic health conditions with marijuana.

The report also revealed that people across all age groups, social standing, family groups,  and both sexes from Britain are using marijuana therapeutically, and half of them spend approximately £100 every month on weed to manage their symptoms.

After analyzing the survey findings, CMC made the following estimation on the number of people using marijuana to treat various health conditions in the UK.

  • Depression – 653,456
  • Anxiety – 586,288
  • Chronic pain – 326,728
  • Arthritis – 230,631
  • Insomnia – 182,583
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – 177,778

The medical lead at the Center for Medicinal Cannabis, Dr. Daniel Couch, said that the data in their report highlights the personal, moral, and societal cost of consuming street-available weed.

According to the published report, marijuana consumption is done by people across all socio-demographic groups.  Self-medicating on medical marijuana was observed in 56% of people from social class C2DE, and 44% from ABC1.

The majority of the people who are self-medicating are between the ages of 18-44 ( 71.4%); however, a large number of users are above the age of 55 (14.6%), while 80% of these people use marijuana as a treatment daily or weekly.

On the issue of consumption frequency, the survey found that daily, weekly, and monthly use was 55.8%, 23.4%, and 8.5%, respectively. It also found that 42% of consumers spend more than £100 each month on street marijuana while 9% of consumers do not spend a penny on weed because they either grow it or are given by friends or caregivers.

The highest spending was observed among people who have Parkinson’s disease as they spent £350 each month.

According to the poll’s findings, people are using marijuana to treat the following conditions:

  • Depression,
  • Anxiety,
  • Chronic pain,
  • Insomnia,
  • Autism spectrum disorder,
  • Psoriasis,
  • High blood pressure,
  • Cancer,
  • Schizophrenia,
  • Spinal cord injury,
  • Glaucoma,
  • Heart disease,
  • Cascular disease,
  • Peripheral neurosis, and
  • HIV/AIDs.

According to the YouGov survey, the consumption frequency of people suffering from various ailments was as follows, Huntington’s disease 41.67%, schizophrenia, 41.18%, Parkinson’s disease 30.43%, Autism spectrum disorder 20.39%, Multiple Sclerosis 19.23%, and PTSD 17.37%.

The review on medical marijuana policy called for by the CMC is intended to ensure that patients can afford marijuana as well as reducing the personal risk of buying street-available weed.

Currently, the number of clinical trials assessing the therapeutic effect of marijuana-based medicines is limited.

The founder of the Center for Medicinal Cannabis, Steve Moore, said that the survey findings confirm their suspicion that at least 3% of the adult population in the UK are using marijuana to manage their chronic health conditions instead of the pharmaceutical products.

The report reaffirms the importance of re-evaluating the issue of marijuana accessibility in the UK, said the Ceo of Block Commodities, Ian Tordoff. Tordoff further noted that his company would continue to support CMC efforts and raise awareness of the positive impact of marijuana plants on public health and general social wellbeing.

Industry watchers believe that cannabis companies like Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) are always deeply saddened when reports of entire populations forced to depend on marijuana from the black market emerge as this UK survey shows.

CannabisNewsBreaks – technical420 Highlights Potential Acquirers, Acquisition Targets as 2020 Shapes to be a Bounce-Back Year for Cannabis M&A

A recent editorial by Anthony Varrell of technical420 reviews a slowdown in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the cannabis sector during the last year and its expected positive trend and bounce back in 2020 and moving forward. The article highlights three companies thought to be potential acquirers, including Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC), MediPharm Labs (TSX: LABS) (OTCQX: MEDIF) and Jushi Holdings (CSE: JUSH), as well as companies technical420 believes could be potential acquisition targets, including Stem Holdings (CSE: STEM) (OTCQX: STMH), Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSX: FAF) (OTC: FFLWF) and WeedMD (TSX.V: WMD) (OTCQX: WDDMF). “Several high-profile acquisitions that were announced in 2019 have been terminated or are still pending. The closing of these acquisitions will be a positive trend for the sector, and we expect to see a bounce back in the cannabis M&A market in 2020 and beyond,” Varrell writes. “Once valuations start to improve, we expect to see a significant increase in the amount of M&A activity, and this is a trend that we will continue to monitor.”

CBDNewsBreaks – Marijuana Company of America, Inc.’s (MCOA) hempSMART Enters Definitive Sales Agreement to Offer Ultra-Clean Label CBD Beverage Products

Marijuana Company of America (OTCQB: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, hempSMART Inc., has entered a definitive sales agreement to purchase ultra-clean label CBD beverage products from MCTC Holdings Inc. (OTC: MCTC). Science and technology innovation company MCTC is focused on developing patented hemp extract infusion technologies and the sustained release of cannabinoids in the human body. According to the update, the new hempSMART(TM) branded products will be unique to the marketplace, and, during the initial stage, MCOA will offer a line of powdered drink mixes containing broad-spectrum hemp extracts with over 35 milligrams of CBD derived from all-natural extraction processes. Other powdered and pre-mixed beverages will be included in future offerings. “We are quite excited to unveil our new, ultra-clean label product line of CBD-infused powdered drink mix,” hempSMART Chief Operating Officer Trevor Muehlfelder said in the news release. “The products are based on a unique dual-hemp extract infusion process that’s unlike most products and have no artificial ingredients or chemicals. Our new product line is based on organic ingredients, including organic inulin from vegetables and trace amounts of organic coconut and sunflower oils, combined with a touch of CBD-infused honey produced at organic farms. This will truly be a unique, clean label product offering. We believe our new powdered drink line will revolutionize the beverage marketplace in the new 20’s the same way Coca Cola did in the 1920’s.”
